NEW YORK.-With an army, conser-
~ vatively estimated at a quarter of
a million of workers who are en-
ployed partly or wholly at night, New
York city is fast becoming as busy in
dustrially and economically between
the hours of ZOO p. m. and 700 a. m
as are other cities during the hours
that from time immemorial have been
dedicated TO labor.
The glitter, the glimmer and the
glamor Of the Gay White Way" and
its envfrons must, from their very
noise and brilliancy, attract attention
to the exclusion of all other consider
ations, after the sun goes down and
the myriad imitation suns come up.
But that quarter million OF workers
is there-not so accessible, not SO cas-
lily stumbled upon, and far less noisy.
In every part of the city one may
find these human moles. Some of
them have worked at night so long
that the sunlight makes them blink,
like so many owls. Others do some
Of their work in the daytime. But
with this latter class the real stride
Is not reached until after dark.
Years ago New York began the &C
emulation of it's corps of night work
ers. Gradually it has added to its
numbers. So easy and quietly has
been this increase that 1t has attract
ed not the slightest attention, unless
it be among the workers themselves

or another. Even with the natural
environment favorable he coaxes his
product to grow through artificial
means. The 20 acres have been sci
entif1cally drained so that too much
dampness will not interfere, and all
through the season he nurses his crop
Last season everything was favor
able to growing the best crop the 70
acres ever produced. Even Mr. SIAM
baugh was surprised when his onions
began to grow recklessly. When the
crop was finally harvested the result
was $4,000 bushels
It's just natural onion land" says
Mr. Stambaugh in explaining his onion
prodigy. Onions cannot help grow
ing there when you plant them"
The ''onion" king" smiles in relating
how he invades even the Texas mar
ket. Down in Texas they irrigate to
raise onions. Sometimes they have to
spend thousands of dollars to irrigate
few acres. 1t is this cost of irriga-
ton that permits the Ohio onion to
compete with the Texas onion on the
latter's own ground. Up In Hardin
county. the Scioto river gratuitously
does what the Texans spend ,ens Of
thousands in coaxing the Rio. Grande
and artesian wells to do.
Mr.. Stambaugh talks of his onion
exploits only in whispers. He will
not tell just how much he made on
that bumper crop last season, but
some estimate that the profits amount
ed to more than $4,000.

Portland, Ore-Quarantined in a
Portland sanatorium with an attack of
scarlet fever, L. F. Brayton, in charge
of the history Wilcox building, being
erected at Sixth and Washington
streets, installed telephone by his
bedside and continued the work of
experimenting the skyscraper's con-
struction by telephone. The first diff
Guilty Brayton encountered when he
asked for telephone was the unwil-
lingness of anyone to install it in his
room for fear of contagion. Finally,
despite his illness, he had the equip
ment sent to the sanatorium and made
the connections himself.
During the period he has been in
quarantine a large part Of the founda-
ton of the building has been COM
pleted, the base plates for the steel
set and the delivery of steel on the

IMPORTANCE OF BATH SPRAY
Toilet Essential That May only BE
Described as Absolutely
indispensable.

A strong spray that can be attached
to the faucet of the bath tub is 1ndis-
pensable. 1t is essential in shampoo
ing, as 1t gets out the soap quickly
and with little effort. The force OF
spray is a splendid tonic after sham
poo, and gets the scalp in glow that
prevents cold.
When one comes in tired, the bag
gard lines can be speedily rested and
the tensions loosened by spraying the
face and throat vigorously for hve
minutes. This can be done without
disrobing, if rubber sheet IS slipped
over the head Use first warm water,
then cold, alternately. until the skin
is in glow.
The benefit of this treatment is In
creased if cleansing cream or skin
food is. arst rubbed m five minutes be
fore the hot spray is applied.
A nerve specialist advises the use
of bath spray daily to play upon the
length of the spine. The force is d.
rected up and down the spine rather
briskly for about five minutes. and Is
made especially strong at the waist
line, to relieve the pressure OF corsets
and start the blood to circulating.
Use warm water first, gradually ma
king it colder. This prevents shock
and sooths the nervous system.
