GIRL TRAPS BOLD WASHER.
Stranger Meets Deserved Fate nj

Philadelphia, Pa.-Visiting rela

Mrs. Sarah NJ. Taylor of 5162 Ogden
street, Philadelphia, led bold mash
er into a trap which will in all like
lihood cure him of his MASKING pro-

by the attentions OF a well dressed
young man that she went to another
part of the cabin. The man followed
her and when Camden was reached
he kept close behind her.
After Miss Taylor had turned into

her side and spoke to her Quickly
forming plan of action in her mind
the young lady appeared pleased with
his attentions, and he accepted an in

LAWRENCE MILLS
HOLD CHILDREN
IN CLUTCHES

Washington.-That the Lawrence
strike, which began last January and
lasted until March, was the subject
of hearing before the House Com
mittee on rules and which attracted
the attention of the country from one
end to another, amounted to a social
revolution" is the opinion expressed
by Commissioner of Labor Charles
p. Neill in a report to the senate.
The report shows that the highest
wage paid. the ordinary operatives
when the mills run at full time seldom
goes over $12 a week, while one fam
lily OF father, mother and three chill
dren were forced to live on the faith
er's earnings alone, which were $50
week. The average wages are given
for a week late in 1911, when the
mills were running full time, as $S.76
per family The figures given by
Commissioner Neill are based on a
study of the payrolls for 21,022 oper-
atives.
Commissioner Neill and his asso-
ciates found that one-half the popu-
lation of Lawrence, II years old and
over, were employed in the mills or
dependent on them. Lawrence has a
population of S5,S92 and there are
60, 900 persons dependent upon the
mills. The allied crafts among the
English speaking operatives had a
total of only $500 members when the
strike broke out, while the Industrial
Workers of the World had a paid up
list of 800 members. Thus there
were less than 5000 union operatives
in Lawrence.
Continuing the report says:
"The actual economic condition OF
| the families OF the workers of the
textile mills of Lawrence cannot be
easily pictured by a mere statement
of over earnings. 1t is obvious from
the figures that the full earnings OF
a large number of adult employees
are entirely inadequate to maintain q
family.
Thus the full time earnings OF
1925 employees, or about one-thiro
of the total covered in this investiga-
ton, are less than 81 a week,
OF the 1926 earning less than 81 9
week. 1924 were over IS years ole
and SO per cent of the 5,294 were
males. The plain fact is that the tex
tile industry, so far as earnings arr
concerned, is in large part "famil!
industry" 1t gives employment Z
men. women and children. The nor
mai family Of five, unless the fathe
is employed in one Of the c6mpara
lively few better paying occupations
, is compelled by necessity to suppl
two wage earners in order to secur
the necessaries of life.

HUNTING FOR HORSES
THIRTY FEET TALL
Yale Scientists Digging i'm Old Quar-
ries of Texas Panhadle Near
SilyertOn

Silverton, Tex.-A hunt for giant
than 80 feet tall, is now in progress
in this part of the Texas Panhadle.
Ranch people are stirred up over
the excavation that has been started
at a spot on Prairie Dog creek, just
north of Silverton, by an expedition
of scientists sent out by Yale univer-
sity. This party is headed by Rich
ard S. Lull, professor of vertebrate
paleontology of that institution.
They are digging for the fossils of
prehistoric horses. 1t is said by Pro-
fessor LIll that all evidence that has
accumulated tends to show that the
horse of today had it's origin in these
long extinct animals that once roam
ed the expansive plains in the Texas
Panhandle.
Discoveries of bones that are classi-
fled as belonging to the prehistoric
horse have been made from time to
time in this section. Not a great while
ago, in opening a gravel pit neal
Plainview, the fosils of an anima
that scientists proclaim belong to the
equine species was brought to light
and when placed together the height
of the skeleton measured more thar
100 hands. This relic of an unknown
PAST was brought to light by r. NJ
Trick of Plainview. The bones of thu
animal were sent to the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington.
The quarry now being exploited
turned out some rich finds in the way
of bones of these ancient monster!
in 1899, when the spot was visited
and considerable expedition work
was done by Prof. James w. Gidley
1t is the theory of Prof. Lull thai
i'm the prehistoric time, when these
:. giant horses roamed the plains there
was co-incident with them a civil.
zation of high standard in what is
now New Mexico and Arizona. The
ruins Of the homes of these people
are still to be seen, and in some parts
of the arid region there has been dis.

he would place them all in one class
