CLEVELAND BOYS EXPOSITION

liz AALLhAND oOAS ia ool
Arrangements for the second An
nual Cleveland Boys Exposition, are
under way to be held on May 4, 5
and 6. This unique exhibit aims to
give the boys of the whole city a
chance to demonstrate their ability
in directions which grip thought,
imagination, and activity throughout
boyhood years. Any lad under nine
teen who makes things, who can
write or speak, who trains anything
from pets to talent, may display at
this exposition.
Handiwork, such as the making Of
furniture, woodturning and carving,
metal work., electrical apparatus, me-
chanical drawing, printing, design
ing, photography, and other kindred
crafts will form an important part
Of the exposition. Hobbies will be
shown-collections Of stamps, coins,
buttons, or post cards. Or a boy may
bring his pets, take personal charge
Of them and delight himself and
others with their tricks. There will
be confessional and instrumental
music and Whistling, original stories,
orations and poems, shorthand and
typewriting, gymnastics and cos
tunes.
Not the least interesting were
some unusual revelations of what
the American boy can make-a wire
less telegraph outfit made by a if
teen year old boy, a violin construct
ed from a cigar box, a broom stick
and one string, upon which the in
Yentor played several tunes;. pen and
ink drawings and oil paintings,
crude Of course, but in some cases
showing real talent. Delighted par
ents and relatives took unbounded
pride in seeing what their boys had
accomplished. The contests in gym
n~astics showed skill and concentra-
ton. One gang" of boys from the
worst district in Cleveland, who
were hard to hold in systematic
training, cheered their teacher by
saying, "Hey, kids. jess wait till next
year and Wen show you fellows some
stunts, too."-The Survey.

NORkMAN'S LOT UNDER SCIEN-
TITO MANAGEMENT

The men in shops under scienti-
nc management are well satisfied. A
sympathetic strike was called to aid
the trolley car motormen and con-
ductors in Philadelphia in 1910. A
certain factory running under sCien-
tifc management" says James
Mapes Dodge of the Link Belt Com
pany in The Survey, was surround
ed by four other establishments.
Three of the four lost about one
half OF their men through the SYM
pathetic strike and in the fourth all
went out. In the shop running I'M
der scientific management just
man quit work.
Now this was no accident, but
is because the very best friends that
the wOrkmen have under scientific
management are their employers.
Formerly we would tell a man we
would give him ten cents for a GER
tain piece of work. Then If he re-
duced his time so that he could
make two, We would reduce the rate
to five cents. But We were getting
twice as much work for the same
floor space and fixed expenses for
the same money while the men had
not been getting any more pay.
eve adopted a new rule which
was that IA ate once set must not be
reduced unless the shape of the
piece or the tool or method by which
it is made was changed and that a
man should be paid when he did his
work. 1t was a hard dose to swal-
low, for sometimes men made twice
or three times the wage they would
have worked for gladly by the day.
Once in a while when | went among
them, a man would call out, We'll,

.pAssING on THE BEGGAR.

The beggar long ago discovered
that a ticket to some other place
where he can trouble us no more IS
the thing above all others which we
give with the greatest cheerfulness
to the applicant for aid. As a re-
suit an agency in a railroad town
out of a total relief expenditure Of
$500 a year used s240 for railroad
tickets to nearby communities.
The officials of neighboring places
returned the compliment. All we're
busily giving transportation to meet
the demand which they themselves
had created by passing on" the pre-

A TRUST.

In all American match factories
the head of the ordinary parlor
match is made by dipping the end
of the wooden splint into a paste
containing white phosphorus,-a
most deadly poison. The fumes and
particles of phosphorus attack the
bones Of the workers, but more es-
pecially their teeth. If the factory
worker happens to have a decayed
tooth, the poison enters the cavity,
setting up ar Inflammation which, if
not quickly arrested, extends along
the jaw, killing the teeth and bones.
The gums become swollen and pur-
DE, the teeth loosen and drop out,
and the jaw-bones slowly decompose
and pass away, the horrible product
sometimes breaking through the
neck in the form of an abscess, or if
not almost continually cared for,
finding its way to the stomach.
Now the Diamond Match Company
had acquired the American patent
rights from the French chemists
who discovered sesque-sulphIde, a
harmless substitute for white phos-
phorus. When the investigation
conducted Jointly by DR.. Andrews
and the Bureau of Labor revealed
the shocking nature of the disease
caused by the white phosphorus, the
American Association for Labor leg
islation brought all its influence to
bear on the Diamond Match Com
pany to induce them, in the interests
of humanity, to surrender their mo-
nopoly in the harmless match. The
nracnnA nnaB{Ianf ~ ~ 49,
Mr.. Edward r. Stettinus, happens
to be an unusual type of Trust presi-
dent, with a distinctly philharmonic
turn Of mind.
But the proposition which DR.. hn-
drews made on behalf of his Associa-
ton meant the surrendering of
which 1t had cost the match
honareN-tnou-'
sand dollars to acquire. Neverthe-.
less, Mr., Stettinus laid the matter
before his directors, and expressed
his personal approval of the sueges-
ton. Stettinus eventually carried
the day, and on January 9Th, 1911,
the patent rights of sesque-sulphide
of phosphorus were transferred to
three trustees,-Professor E. R. A.
Seligman OF Columbia University,
Charles P. Nell, Commissioner of
the Bureau of Labor, and Jackson
Ralston, Attorney for the American
Federation of Labor. These gentle
men were empowered to permit the
use Of this patented formula on
whatever terms they might consider
Just. AS even this extraordinary
step was not sufficient to satisfy
some people, the n of the pat
ent finally on January 28th, can
telled their proprietary rights IN or
der that ''phossy jaw" might be
abolished without delay.-From

SAN FRANCIsCO's LOST GAR
nINNG

SAN FRANCISCO'S LOST GAR
DENS.
In every city the cry of regret for
the mistakes of the past is heard.
But what of a city built on the hills
"a city of sunshine and sea-given
b~reezes, swept clean by fire. to be
built anew In this Twentieth Cent
ury? Surely the builders would
grasp their u~nrivalled opportunity.
What is San Francisco's reply-a
city of small homes, a city of gar
dens? No. A city of tenements.
Looking back to April II, 1906,
one sees whole districts covered
with small houses, vine clad, frag-
rant with flowers. On April IS, the
fire swept the city, and before a
month had passed the builders were
at work. Fast they built. Shelter
was needed, expediency and desire
for gain were paramount, and the
smoking ruins were covered with
poorly constructed buildings, sew
eral families %crowding into q space
adequate for one.
In less than a year thoughtful
men and women realized that San
Francisco was face to face with a
housing problem and that 10 law ex-
listed to check the increasing
abuses. In spite of municipal indif-
ference and corruption a tenement
house ordinance based on the New
York law was passed in 1907.
The New York reformers obtained
all that was possible for their great
city, where land values are so high
and vested interests SO entrenched,
but the meager allowances for light
and air conceded for the crowded
metropolis should not have been the
model for the small city accustomed
to wide spaces and generous gardens.
Yet even these limited restrictions
were soon evaded, and the ordinance
fiercely opposed by speculative
builders and property holders.
Inflated land values based on the
earning capacity of a small lot COW
cred by a three-family building in
place of the former cottage have In
duced much of the rapid rebuilding
of San Francisco. For not alone i'll
the poorer districts, but in every
quarter Of the city, apartment
houses, flats, multiple buildings of
every type have superseded the
family house.-Alice s. Grif-
fifth in The Survey.

IN THE LEE OF THE ROUND
HOUSE,


In a certain Indiana town there
is q railway shop with it's large
roundhouse where an immense
amount Of dense smoke arises.
Since the prevailing winds are from
the southwest and west, the smoke
blows off in the opposite direction.
II vas surprised says Robert
Hessler in The Survey, ito see that
all the trees to the east in line with
the smoke were dead; q number Of
dead trunks were still standing.
When / first came here, fourteen
years ago, there were a number of
trees in that neighborhood. The
black smoke killed them off.
II thought Of the sad-eyed women
and sickly looking children who ex-
list in that atmosphere and wondered
how long they are able to hold out.
1t Is well known that the city takes
it out of strong and robust men,
they soon fail. Large Industrial CT
ties have little uset for a man after
the age of about forty or forty-fve.
'Now that I knew that smoky air
about the shops killed the trees and
that only a few weeds were able to
grow. and l wondered how long hu-
mar life itself is able to endure I'M
der such conditions. Trees being
fixed to the soil, 1--we and die in stu;
human beings are not fixed to the
soil, and SO when they fail sick they
generally move to another n%etghbor-
hood. If they are unable on account
of sickness to pay the house rent
they are evicted and others move in.
People removing from an iTsanitaFy
environment may regain health and
perhaps again become self-support-
ing but only too often they continue
to fail and many die prematurely
and the children become public
charges. Who is to be blamed for
premature deaths2"
