Commercial Grading of Grain

A senior student at the state college
of Washington has recently completed,
as his thesis work, a comparison of the
commercial grades of grain as estab-
lished at the different wholesale mar
kets to which the cereals crop of the
Northwest are sent. He found a great
variation in the methods of grading
and the standards as established at the
different market centers. Certain mar
kets were found to grade grain on a
basis which took into consideration
the hour-making value of the wheat as
indicated by the terms hard, " soft, "
etc., while others based their grading
upon certain variety names.
The bushel weight was found to be
one of the factors in grading at all
market centers, but a No. l grade in
one market frequently would not have
the same specified bushel weight test
as a similar grade in another market.
The methods Of grading-off impuri
ties and a basis for dockage were found
to vary greatly in the different mar
kets. Certain markets showed very
simple and easily ineligible system of
estimates for dockage, while other sys-
TENS were so very complex as to be
almost unintelligible to anyone except
the officials in charge.
The division Of chemistry of the
state experiment station is now en-
gagged in a thorough study Of the rela-
ton of the different market grades of
wheat as established in the Pacific
Northwest markets to the milling value
Of the wheat and the bread-making
quality of the -four made from them.
Some reports of these investigations
have already been published in bull
letins Nos. "a, 81, 100 and 102 Of the
experiment station. These bulletins
may be obtained free by writing to the
director of the experiment station at
Pullman, Washington.

NOTED CIVIC WORKERS
At HEAD OF CAMPAIGN
WAS joins HAYs HAMlIoNp.

oOAA-N IA n1AAAAO4NOs
Mrs. John Hays Hammond. .secre-
tary OF the woman's Titanic memorial
movement, Is one OF the most widely
known workers in the cause OF the
woman's uplift in the United States.
She gives practically all her time and
thousands Of dollars annually to this
and 10 the cause Of charity.
Mrs. Hammond Is not one Of those
women whose work for thew is
confined to signing the subscription
list. She gives money-but she also
actually works.
She helped organize and Is presi-
dent Of the Civic Federation. since
the founding Of which she has paid
especial attention to the Development
Of the Woman's Welfare department,
a branch now known all over the
world. She also organized the Con-
gressionsl branch of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON, designed to reach the women
in remote districts of the South and
far West and enable them to better
their own lives and those Of their
families.
Mrs. Hammond is deeply inter-
ested in conservation. of which she
has made an exhaustive study, and iu
the cause Of which she has been act
i've for years.
In addition to this, she Is essentially
woman's woman. and can be count
ed on TO lend all her strength TO any
movement that viii help her sex.
Other charities of all descriptions
also hold her interest. and there is
rarely a movement for betterment,
no matter what its scope, In the Ma
tional Capital. in which she does not
play an important part.

Industries Not Reached by Christian
Spirit, Says Scottish Minister.
The atmosphere OF Christianity in all
phases Of life excepting that pertaining
10 the industries was depiored by Rev.
A. H. GRAY. of Glasgow. Scotland. in
sermon before the congregation of the
Church OF the Covenant yesterday. Mr.
Gray declared that the leaven OF Chris
tisnity had permeated the home. the
market place. the council chamber. and
our national life, but thus far has failed
to change the industrial conditions as IT
should.
The next conquest OF Christianity"
said Mr.. Gray. must be the reaIiza-
tion of condition which will provide
for every man a living wage The Ieaven
OF Christianity has permeated every In
stitution save the industries, where men
are expected to do more for smaller
compensation than IN any other employ
ment.'
Proper housing conditions were urged
by the preacher. who declared that SAM
tation was one OF the essential steps
toward a proper regulation OF Industrial
life.

MAS. JOHN HAY.

Mrs. John Hay, widow Of the Sec
retary Of State In President McKin-
ley's Cabinet. and chairman OF the
Titanic Memorial movement. Is al
most secretive In her work for cher
ity and the general betterment uf
humanity. but the things she has
done are almost too many to be ac-
counted. She is always quiet-and
always busy.
She is particularly interested In
helping the younger men and women
in the world. The need of youth
probably appeals to her more strong
ly than any other one thing.
Next to this. Mrs. Hay is prob
ably most deeply interested in the
care OF the sick. II was. she who.
finding that when the poor got sick
they frequently died solely for lack
Of proper attention, organized the
Free Nurses Association. Members
Of this association. all trained nurses,
give their time to the needy poor
and are paid by Mrs. Hay and some
Of her intimate friends! Mrs. Hay
also organized the Diet Kitchen

cooks, under the direction of trained
nurses, prepare food fer the poor who
are sick. without charge.

just outside the city. And in addI-
ton to all this. Mrs. Hay has found
time to work earnestly for the pas
sage OF a law allowing works Of art
to be brought into this country from
Europe free Of duty.
Like Mrs. Hammond. Mrs. Hay is
deeply interested in the Civic FEEDER
alton. and also participates in prac-
tically every charitable enterprise in

TELLS OF STEEL MILLS.
Mrs. Gertrude Mackenzie Addresses

Auoieuce OF socialists.
Mrs. Gertrude Mackenzie, who has
been studying conditions in the steel
works from government reports and
from findings OF the Pittsburg survey,
made an address before an audience Of
so last night under the auspices of the
Socialist party OF the District, at Typo-
graphical Temple.
The speaker declared that prior to
1882 the men were well organized, work.
ed about eight hours q day and were
fairly paid. Since the strike of 1892
known as the Homestead strike, IL has
been absolutely impossible to organize
the men. Mrs. Mackenzie said that the
Bethlehem strike OF two years ago was
caused by the discharge of a. man who
asked for Sundays on to go to church.
She said that the men now work twelve
hours a day. day and night shift, seven
days a week and when the shift changes
every other week, they work twenty-four
hours straight and receive an average
wage OF S1.5 per day.
