To Start . Tiaht Svrvy..

Lots Of folks have tried to remove
stubborn screw from q piece OF wood,
a screw that won't bulge at all. and
have in the end given it up as a bad
Job. Well, If such a thing occurs again
don't give it up. don't lose your temper
or exert yourself, but try this recipe
for removing the screw: Heat poker
red hot and then hold it against the
screw head for a little while; wait
few minutes for the screw to cool
down, when 1t will be found that the
screw can be removed quite easily
with the same screwdriver that just
previously would not perform the
work. The explanation is quite sim
pie. The red hot poker heats the screw.
and the screw expands and makes
the hole it is in just a wee bit bigger.
The screw then cools down and re
sumes its original size, leaving the
hole in the wood a size too large-and
there you are.-New York Sun.

Interesting For the Husband.

A titled lady warned her new gar
dener that her husband had an irri-
tating habit Of disparaging everything
he saw in the greenhouse and of or
dering In a reckless manner new plants
to be bought
"But on no account humOr him"
she said. whatever he says, throw
cold water on him or he will ruin US
with his extravaganza"
At this point the new gardener
turned on her a white and startled face.
''Ma'am," he said, IF he orders me
to pitch every plant in the place on
the rubbish heap l shan't ever have
the pluck to douse him in cold water
Won't it do as we'll If l get a drain OF
warm water out Of the boiler and let
It trickle gently down his neck?"-

Owner Of Building Attempted to
Obey Regulation, but Condition Of
Ground Htnders Work. S.ts..t. - II

Messrs. Copelin and Rhud, charged
with violating a public health regula-

asked for continuance until 10
o'clock Thursday morning. The stay
was granted. -.;$FT> ~ iffhi}$
The developments promised in the
case above, were not forthcoming as
no hearing took place. Nevertheless,
the case as it stands. from the point
of view of Mr.. Copelin, is very much
as follows: The factory known as
the Copelin Candy Factory is on the
property of Mr.. H. c. Rhud and the
building is. owned and maintained by
the latter gentleman, and in the lease
of the building, when drawn for the
present defendants, contained a pro-
vision for the construction and main
tenance of proper sinks, drains and
cess pools. /.
Several times during the, last year
attempts have been made to con-
struct additional cess pools but when
at a certain depth, water has been
struck while excavatipg, thus pre-
venting the draining away of the
waste matter. At present an exca- J
walton is under way and has been
for some time past, When partly fin.
ished, quick sand was struck and the
walls began caving in preventing the
of the work.

from the pool now used is noticeable,

Of in the allegations before the police
At the last meeting of the city
petition had been

GOMPERS, MITCHELL AND

About the time that Warren

United States supreme court on an
appeal against the decision of the
United States district court SEN
fencing them to prison for one
year, six months and three months
respectively, for alleged contempt
of court in the Bucks stove case.
In view of the precedent estab-
Ilished in the famous Debs deci-
sion, 1t is difficult to understand
how the United States supreme
court can reverse itself or do 9TH
erwise than uphold the lower
courts, and send the labor Off
Icials to jail.
If the court stands by its former
decision, then the constitutional
rights of free speech and a free
press, and trials by jury, are
Virtually annulled-and the writ
| of injunction becomes the all
powerful weapon with which the
Legislative and administrative
functions of government can be
battered to pieces.
However. this perilous situation
will be faced without flinching
mot only by the organized working
people, but by tens of thousands
