FACTORY INSPECTION WORK

Factory Inspector Delaney has
just issued his annual report for
1910. AS State report this is
rather prompt, but this is partly ac-
counted for by the fact that it con-
tains less than 100 pages. 1t gains
in value by it's decreased size, but
would be much more important if
it had appeared five months ago.
Any well-regulated newspaper could
have printed it all on twenty-four
hours notice and the nature of fac
tory inspection work is such that
the data could easily have been
available by the middle of January.
We make the point not in criticism
but in commendation, for it is al
most a shock to receive an annual
report of State officer so soon. 1t
may help to wake up some of the
other departments at Harrisburg.
The report dischoses that more
than million of our people are en-
gagged in occupation calling for fac
tory inspection. Almost one-half
of the men are connected with en-
pigments dealing with iron or steel,
and this is about what one would
have expected. Over one-half of the
women are connected with the tex
tile trades, either in manufacturing
of cloth and yarns or in making
them up into garments. The year on
the whole is declared to have been
one of about the average Industrial
activity, which is encouraging, see
ing that in some parts of the country
conditions have been far below the
average.
1t is encouraging to find that vio-
lations of the law have not been
very numerous. 1t is true that in
spectors have been obliged to secure
the dismissal of a large number OF
those under age and of some OF
proper age without the requisite
educational equipment. 1t is true
that the fire escape subject has met
some trouble and a good deal OF
vigor has been necessary. But, all
things considered, the report dis
closes that, owing to previous work
by Mr.. Delaney, few attempt to vio-
late the law and none succeed in do
ing so for any length of time. The
result is that there is no State where
factory conditions are so good as in
Pennsylvania.
1t is ideal to have every child go
through secondary and higher edu-
cation, but until the millennium ar
rives we shall be content with the
policy of compelling every child to
get a good common school educa-
tion, of permitting minors to work
only under severe restrictions and
of securing all of the sanitary and
safety appliances possible. The last
Legislature strengthened the hands
of the inspector. Anyone who con-
templates conditions in our factories
now and twenty years ago can see
what great good has been accom-
plished.-Philadelp Inquirer.

mixture or with dilute lime-sulphur
solution. The Bordeaux mixture is
made by dissolving three pounds of
bluestone, and four pounds of lime
in fifty gallons OF water. If you
have the beetles or bugs" present,
add two or three pounds of arsenate
of lead to this.
The lime-sulphur solution will
probably do as well as the Bordeaux
mixture. This is not fully proven, al
though / used it all right three years
ago. This is made by using one gall
lon of the strong lime-sulphur solu-
tion, either homemade or CONNER
cial, in twenty-five gallons of water. 4"
In making Bordeax mixture dis
solve the copper sulphate (bluestone)
by suspending 1t over night in a
burlap bag just beneath the surface
of the water, Cor put it in boiling
water, using at least one quart to
the pound, and dilute to 25 gal
Ions Slake the lime in sufficient
water to prevent burning Dilute to
25 gallons, strain and add to the
copper sulphate solution, stirring the
mixture vigorously while mixing.
