VAST WORK IN DITCH LOCKING
Yet One Man at Switchboard In Pan
anna Can Sail Ship Through
Canal.

Washington, D. C-To pass a big
ship through each lockage of the Pan
anna canal no less than ninety eight
electric motors will have to be set in
motion twice and this number may
be increased to 143, dependent upon
the previous condition of the gates,
valves and other devices that make up
the complex locking system of the
great waterway. In passing ship
through the locks it will be necessary
to open and close inter gates weigh
ing from 800 to 500 tons, I'LL and
empty lock chambers containing from
100000 to 100000 cubic feet Of wa
ter and lower fender chains weighing
24,098 pounds each and to tow the yes
sells through the locks. Yet SO admir-
ably has this tremendous task been
systematized by the designing engin-
GERS that, according to Canal Record,
all of these operations, except that of
towing, will be controlled by single
man at switchboard.

No Jury or Lawyer Required and
Appeal From Decisions OF Ar
bitrators Not Permitted.

New York-The business men 8
court Of honor, tribunal without
Judge, lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws Of the state, has been re-
vived in New York after lapse of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber Of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, so far
as is known here, there is no other
court like it in the world.
In 1853 the business mems court
was established and for more than
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the legislature
voted salary Of $4,000 a year to
The official arbitrator of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the body passed out Of exist
ence. Several months ago move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment of the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before it.
To try the average case requires an
expenditure of only $50 or $50, COM
pared with the heavy expenses Of
trials in the regularly constituted
courts of the state. The court is In
charge Of the chamber of commences
committee on arbitration. The COM
mittee selects from the membership
of the chamber a list of men qualified
to serve as arbitrators Of disputes,
who are sworn in by a justice of the
supreme court.

When the first pulp mills were built
In Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as a convenient market
for the smaller trees that were not fit
for lumber. These logs were called
pulp wood and were looked upon
with contempt by all hands. including
the river drivers who navigated them
to the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight of man and
were productive of many cold bath
for those who handled them.
Nowadays it is very different The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs, but Gull out the
large trees, leaving the smaller ones
to grow and furnish crop in future
years.
From small proportion of the total
cut of logs, the pulp stock" has now
increased so that on some rivers it
equals and on other it exceeds that Of
the logs cut for the sawmills. In
Maine the harvest for the pulp mills
will reach the enormous total of $780,
100000 feet this winter. The amount
cut for the sawmills will not be far
from 400,000,000.
In every department of the lumber
industry rapid progress is being made
in methods and in appliances. In the
old times no one ever thought of send
ing men to the woods until snow had
fallen. Now the crews that do the pre-
liminary work are sent up river in Au-
gust, and a large proportion of the
men are on the ground long before
snow comes, making roads and telling
timber, which in fairly smooth regions
is dragged to the yards at the time OF
the year.
In the old times the men were
obliged to make the greater part of
the journey to the woods on foot Sup
plies were carried in on tote" teams,
a most laborious and expensive meth
cd of transportation. Now almost all

RULE OF REASON IN DIVORCE
Kentucky Judge Uses the Solomon

Louisville, Ky-Solomon's rule Of
reason was invoked in divorce court
here in unraveling a knot of conflict
ing evidence, when John and Margaret
Wetzelberger. who had lived together
thirty-f1ve years and reared a dozen
children. both applied for decree.
All the girls in the family allied them
selves on the side of their mother;
the boys were divided.
In granting a decree to Mrs. Wetzel-
berger, the court said 1t was his opin-
ion that daughters, as a rule, have a
better opportunity to know the condi-
ton in a family" and he deemed it
inconsistent with the woman's long
years of faithfulness in rearing the
large family needlessly to abandon her
husband, as charged, or to falsely ac-
cuse him of cruelty.

this SAFETY factor would mean that the
diving rudders would have to be set
at a greater angle to drive the boat
downward and to keep her under the
surface, and more of the power of the
engines would be absorbed in this
work, reducing the speed forward.
One gallon of sea water weighs

WIFELY DUTIES OF WOMEN
Nine. MaeterIinck Sets Out Ten Rules
for the Guidance of Her Mar
ried Sisters.

Apropos of her first visit 20 America
the following philosophical decalogue
is of special interest as revealing the
attitude taken by Nine Georgette
Lablance Maeterlinck, wife of the Bel
gian Shakespeare, toward the wifely
duties of women:
1. Remember always that the true
wife is the inseparable half OF the
only complete human unit, in which
two small and imperfect individuals
ties have become merged into large
and perfect one.
2. Each half of the welded whole
retains special functions; yours are
to discern, to anticipate, to yield, to
cheer, to soothe-and thus to
strengthen.
8. Never trust to hlrelings the es-
sentials of your husbands physical
well being; understand and frequent
ly practice the art of selecting and
preparing his food.
f. Be sure each day that his gar
ments are whole, clean and suited to
the season.
s. Constitute yourself on infaIlible
barometer whereby to forecast and
render harmless those electrical dis
turbances peculiar to the married
state.
6. Be to your husbands dark moods
the subtle, unsupported antidote; to
his joyous mood the companion spirit
of joy.
Z. Save your caresses until you per-
ceive that his dinner has been with
out flaw; kisses to a hungry man
are like froth to a parched tongue.
8. Your tongue for assent; for argu-
ment use only your eyes.
g. When your husband has an at
tack of govt. depreciate the art of
dancing.
TO- If you would convince your husr
band that you are better actress
than Bernhard, a better dancer than
Pavlowa, prove to him that you are
better cook than M. Escoff1er.

YWN HE recent sinking of the British
submarine AS and the drown
ing of every one on board
again calls attention to the
hazards faced in craft of this
sort. Compared with the total num-
Der Of under water boats built and in
service today, the loss of life Incl
dent to the development of these YES
sells is perhaps not so great, but the
circumstances surrounding death in
a submarine are such as 10 make a
deep impression.
Much has been done to make the
submarine safer than it was Is years
ago, but the ingenuity of man may
never succeed in making these boats
as reasonably secure from sudden de-
struction as other vessels. The near
est approach to submarine in
strength of hull is the battleship, and
the very size of the battleship makes
it possible to minimize the conse-
quences of damage by subdivision of
the ships interior, especially the
space LYING between the outer and
the inner skins. In submarine, how
ever, an outer and an inner bottom,
with intervening air space, would i'm
pose conditions which would seriously
cripple the efficiency of the craft. In
effect there are double bulls in boats
of this description. but the steel skins
form the bounding walls of ballast
tanks into which water is admitted to
increase the dead weight of the ves-
sells and to cause them to lose just so
much buoyancy. To be sure when run
ming IL surface trim the ballast tanks
are factor of safety, and if damaged
in that condition the submarine Is as
well off as any ordinary craft Of sim
liar seaworthiness. Unfortunately all
the accidents that have happened to
submarines have occurred when these
boats were either running submerged
or were being trimmed, that is, taking
water ballast aboard for under water
work or when they were deficient in
reserve buoyancy.

Suppose now on the other hand that

BUILD NEW SCHOOL
 AT SPRINGVILLE
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting of Citi- zens Held-$2200 Raised to Re-

Springville, February 19.-(Special) On Saturday afternoon last largely attended mass meeting was held by the citizens of Springyille and the com munity for the purpose of providing ways and means for the rebuilding Of the public school building, which was destroyed by fire few weeks ago.
 The meeting was presided over by H. I. Crandall and W. B. Patterson was elected secretary. The purpose of the meeting was stated and after short talks by number of citizens the meet ing was addressed by pr. Phillips, su- perintendent of the public schools of Birmingham, and Prof. w. e. Griggs, also of Birmingham.
 After the speaking subscriptions were taken to the amount of $22O0, which amount, it is thought. will be largely supplemented by other subscriptions and also by a donation from the treas ury of the town of Springville
 The building and furnishings which were destroyed by fire a few weeks ago, were valued at ss,500, with s20O0 insurance, and the purpose of the cit izens is to replace the original build ing with a modern building in every respect.
