Assistant Corporation Counse
James G. Skinner has just completed
an opinion for Commissioner of Pub
lie Works Mccain in relation to the
city's right to lease docks along the
river to boat and transportation com
panies. The question was raised by
Henry Martin G Co., 1875 South Water
street, in June, and since that time
the question has been in the hands OF
MIR. Skinner.
Martin & Co. complained because
the Indiana Transportation company's
steamer Theodore Roosevelt while
tied to the dock cut off the light and
interfered with the ventilation in the
shops of merchants along South Wa
ter streets. The company had the
dock leased on the south side of the
river, between Dearborn and Clarl

and opinions. Mr.. Skinner says, with
the approval of Corporation Counsel

Telegraph as Work for Women.

That telegraphy does not attract
more women operators is a surprising
thing when one considers that wo-
men telegraph operators get excellent
pay, compared with womens wage
in many other lines of work, that
women are especially successful as
telegraphers and that the work is not
more taxing than certain other en-
ployments. a writer in the Homon' $
Word says tina. telegraph companies
are glad to get recruits to the service
and make chances for people to learn
the work, and that some of them find
woman operators even superior to the
men in their work. The writer won
ders why girls throng to the tele-
phone switchboard and avoid the
telegraph key. Perhaps the compan-
ionship in the telephone exchanges is
one thing that draws the girls, and
then of course there is more effort in
volved in learning to telegraph. But
the much better salary and the great
cr interest and responsibility of the
work should appeal to the more am
bilious among the young women who
turn to the wire for q livelihood.

RELATIVE MERIT OF
BREWING BARLEyS.
Il Is Expressed In the Percentage
Of Points Il Receives.

Barlcys will be valued according to
the standards herewith given Mt the
international barley and hop prize
exhibition In Chicago. Oct. 1920. 1911.
The relative merit Of q brewing bar
ley is expressed In the percentage Of
points 1t receives.
The total number Of points Is deter
mined by deducting from the average
Of the sum Of the credits the sum Of
the penalties corrected for percentage
The barleys will be valued on the
basis Of maturity. viability (germinat-
albumen (or nitrogen) content. These
five divisions standing as credits. while
penalties are provided for excessive
amount Of moisture. for trimmings
screenings. etc.). for inseparable I'D
mixtures, damage indicated by of col
,r. off odor or by general impression
and irregularity Of growth.
Barley is disqualified If III any credit
division it receives below eighty points
and contains more than 20 per cent Of
screenings or more than : per cent Of
inseparable admiXtures: more than 10
per cent Of moisture: II color. odor or
general impression indicates heavy
damage.
Four and six rowed barley should
contain approximately for each middle
or straight furrowed kernel two lateral
or twisted kernels.
The viability terminating ability
will be determined after proper arti-
flcial drying Of the specimen.

Experiments have been carried
on recently by one of the transat-

a view to preventing ships from

ships have been equipped with L "

flows in an opposite direction to the
movements of the sea, thus confer

working, the lateral movements of
the vessel were from 3 to 1 per cent

REASONS FOR USING

Some American growers claim that,

cases are just as rich In the soft resins

the Europeans. They have not. how
ever, been able to convince American
brewers of the accuracy of this view
They will try to do so Mt the barley
and hop exhibition in Chicago In Oc-
tobcr, 1911. Yhe principal trouble,
however, with American hops as they
reach the market is that they are pick

value to the consumer Is the cone, and

The body OF a guide, perfectly pre-
served, has been yielded up by one
of Swiss glaciers after a period OF
twenty-five years. In 1888 the guide
fell into crevass. His body was com
pletely recovered, its appearance un-
changed by its long Imprisonment in
| the ice.
There has been other cases of he
bringing back of a long lost body
held for years in the close embrace
of the ice. One of the first instano es
on record related to the Hamel acci-
dent which occurred in 1920. Several
guides were swept down by an ava
lanche and hurled into a crevass.
Hamel prOphesied the glacier would
yield them up in the course of one
thousand years, but Forbes believed
that the end of the glacier would be
reached by the bodies in forty years.
This statement was considered bold,
but its accuracy was borne ont oy
events. In forty years the flow of ice
brought the bodies to light.
In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost
in glacier. In just thirty one years
his brother received tele gram from
the Mayor of Chamouni stating that
the body had been found. Every
article of clothing was intact. His
name and regiment could be read
clearly on his handkerchief, and his
gold pencil-case opened and shut as
easily rs when he had last used it,
three decades before.
