the ceiling of the circular room he
sees surrounding the hole like a cor

one of the almost famous rings which
supports the weight of the power ma

pounds; one OF these rings weighs
100000 pounds and had to be quarter

it is lined with black steel-it is the
pit liner at which he Is looking, a
steel drum over 81 feet in diameter

an oil field when they stood high in
the air on top the work before the con-

lars in the circular chamber below
which are to be removed to make
place for the water wheel were built
TO hold up these pit liners and rings
until the concrete could be cast around
them.

DEMAND lE'lEl THAT LABEL BE PLACED
ON HIGHER GRADES or
STATE PRINTING

ssS LaDor organizations OF the state y
are preparing to make 4 light at the
coming session Of the Legislature for
several measures which they believe
would e work to the bet terment Of labor 4
conditions.
There are three measures which
win have the support Of organized Ia
boz. They are the union labor, Law,
81 law creating q deputy commission
er Of labor and q strong child labor
law. A measure which is certain to-
result in a hard fight is that proVid-
ing that the union label must be on all i
state printing above the fonrtI ii class.
This measure was introduced IN the
last legislature IT passed the senate
but in the house II lost out, the vote
being a tie. It is said that the reason
for the defeat Of the measure was that
some Of the country papers feared that
the measure would hit them few OF
them employing union labor. Those
who are behind the measure deny
that it would inlure the publisher Of
the country paper sin any way Tie
measure applies only to the first four
classes of printing. and they say that
since none Of these classes Is done BY
the country papers, they would not be-
affected The measure IS aimed at
the larger shops both i'll and out of
the state which employ non-union La
gbor and by which consid derable Of the
state printing isSdone. The union men
believe that the state should put its
stamp of approval Of these organiza
ttiions.
Another measure which is believed
10 be of Importance to Iaboring men.
is that creating the Office of deputy
commission of; labor The function
of this official ouId BE to supervise
the conditions Of abor, to look after
The sanitary condii ions Of 81 factories

 She left school in Cincinnati eight years ago and soon became engaged to young attorney, She was work ing on her wedding outfit when her sweetheart and her dearest chum" eloped to Louisville and were married The news prostrated the girl and caused an attack of brain fever and for three months her recovery was in doubt
 After the convalescent period she came here and lived for several weeks at a resort hotel and then purchased small ranch in the Topanga canyon, and, with the aid of an old Mexican, built a two-room cottage She uses the Mexican, who owns the adjoining ranch, to do most of her trading and to sell the produce from her garden , to nearby mining camps and towns. As soon as she finished the house she discarded dresses and since then has worn khaki suit of mems clothes and generally goes about her ranch barefooted and with her trousers rolled up to her knees. In good weather she does not wear a hat and allows her long dark hair to hang loosp around her shoulders or down { her back in a braid.
