HIGHER PAY FOR 125,0OO
Textile Mills of New England
Grant General Advance.
FROM 5 TO 7 PER CENT
Increase in Lawrence Following
Big Strike Brings Wide
spread Response.

Boston. March "a general advance IN
the wages Of textile operatives in Northern
New England was announced to-day by the
various mill interests which have their head
offices in Boston. More than 125,0O0 per-
SONS. including employees of cotton mills in
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine,
and wooIlen mill operatives in the six New
England states, are affected by the decision
of mill directors and treasurers to increase
pay.
While few cotton mills have made definite
announcements, it is understood here that
the advance generally will not be less than
3 per cent, and for certain classes Of oper-
stives per cent or more. The New Hamp-
shire and Maine cotton mills, which employ
$4,000 persons will make the change In the
payroll next Monday. Other mills Will do
no on March IS, and the Lowell Mills, with
nearly 10000 hands, will put the advance
into effect on March 25.
The Lawrence cotton mills, except the
Everett, employing 10000; the American
woolen Company's thirty-three New Eng
land plants with 10000 operatives and
number of independent worsted mills, raised
wages last Monday. To the advance In
Lawrence, in response to the demands OF
the operatives in that city for better wages,
the increases elsewhere are largely at
tributed. In Massachusetts the mill hands
underwent q cut in wages Of more than 8
per cent on January 1, because Of a new
state law, which lowered the hours of en-
ployment for women and minors from fifty
six to ffty-four hours weekly. The Law
renee strike followed.
The wage increase will embrace nearly
all the cotton mills Of New Hampshire, in
cIuding the seventeen mills of the Amos
keag Manufacturing Company, of Manches-
Ter, the largest cotton concern In the world
The Amoskeag mills employ 15,5o0 oper-
sHves.
Whether the cotton mills of Fall River,
New Bedford. Eastern Connecticut. Rhode
Island and the Blackstone Valley will meet
the raise given in Northern New England
is not known in this city.
The advance. It is understood, will also
affect the cotton mills at Chicopee, Holyoke-
waltham, Salem and at several points In
Central Massachusetts. The probable ex-
ceptlons in Northern New England are the
mills in Augusta, Me-; Suncook, n. H.
Amesbury and Fiskdale, which follow the
.call River print cloth schedule and the
Monadnock mills.

THE INFLUENCE OF
ELECTRICITY UPON LIFE

The Dietic and Hygenic Gazette,
January, 1912, discusses in an edi-
torial the influence of electricity up
on life. After promising that prob
ably some of the claims made for it
in this respect have been eXtravagant,
1t is allowed that these have a foun-
datiOn on which to rest. The sue
cessful experiments undertaken at
Glouchester and later at Evesham,
England. under the supervision of
Sir Oliver Lodge are referred to. BY
the use of electric currents wheat
was made to yield a crop both in
quantity and quality superior to that
grown under ordinary conditions
The remarkable experiments made by
Professor Silas Wentworth of Los Ga
tos, Cal, are also described. BY the
utilization of electric currents Pro-
fessor Wentworth claims to have
more than doubled the yield of wool
as well as the production OF lambs
among a flock of 900 ewes, as COM
pared with a flock of similar size and
breed under normal conditions. While
depreciating exaggerated claims as
to the Influence of electricity on life,
it is pointed out that we may be on
the eve of "A great scientific revolu-
tion.

ARE YOU EDUCATED?

Not long ago lecturer at the
University club of Chicago handed
out 100 typewritten sheets to as many
in the audience, says the New York
American. These papers contained
20 questions and the lecturer eX-
planned that II any gentleman pres
ent would answer correctly One-half
of these questions he might consider
himself an educated person. Other
wise he had better 20 back ana take
a postgraduate course for fear that
his college degree might receive The
recall.
So here are the questions. Just
test yourself on them:
/. Name the vice president of the
United States
= Name the treasurer of the United
States.
3. Name the conductor of the
New York symphony orchestra.
4. Name the leader of Tammany
hall.
}. Name your congressman.
6. Who is Huga Munsterburg?
I. Who is Sir Christopher Wren?
s. Who is Ali Baba?
9. What is the Pentateuch?
10. What is a seismograph?
Il. What is a clevis?
-. How many justices are there
on the bench of the supreme court
oi the United States?
13. Name five of them.
IA. Who said: The child is
father of the mani"
10. Who said: THE Groves were
Gods first temples?"
16 Who said: Once more unto
the breach, dear friends, once more o.
II. Who was Mommsen?
Is. Who is president of the Lake
Shore railroad?
10. What is the fourth city in
size in the United States?
90. What is a proposition?
All of the gentlemen present were
college graduates. Forty-one of
them read the question over and gave
them up. The other 40 filled them
out. Not one man answered all of
the questions correctly and very few
gave correct answers to half of them
OF course this does not prove that
these men were incompetent. It
merely shows that man may know
a great many facts and yet be ignor-
ant on many simple propositions that
the average high school sophomore
can answer correctly.
