FEWER MINORS
NOW EMPLOYED
Number Is 10000 Less Than
Six Years Ago.
THE VIOLATIONS ARE FEW
Owners and Managers Show Desire to
Obey Law-Prosecution in West
ern Pennsylvania Have Not
Been Very Numerous.

Harrisburg, Pa.-rThere are fewer
minors by 10000 employed in the in.
dustrial establishments of Pennsyl.
vania than there were half a dozen
years ago and the decrease is marked
in the great Industrial &C lters OF
Pittsburgh and Philadelph "a said
Captain John c. Delaney, the states
chief factory inspector, in speaking
about conditions.
Conditions have changed materially
and | have found that owners and
managers of establishments prefer not
to have minors employed because Of
the risk and notoriety they run in
case of prosecution. 1t has been
matter of satisfaction to find that
men will not only rectify a condition
when brought to their attention, but
ask our inspectors if there is any
thing else. In Pittsburgh we have
found the heads of plants willing to
help us at all times and the violations
are few and far between.
Captain Delaney says that the pros
ecutions in Western Pennsylvania
have not been numerous and practical
ly the only ones of recent date were
In Beaver county where some arrests
had to be made to get bakers to un-
derstand the laws.
Considerable importance is attached
to the hearing to be given March 13
at the Attorney Generals office in the
case against the Greenville Water
Company, a Mercer county concern,
which is accused of having violated
the stream publication act by DR..
Samuel G. Dixon, the state health
commissioner. DIR. Dixon declares
that the company's source of supply
is liable to cause an outbreak of dis
ease as it is unsafe for use and that
the company in securing its additional
supply ignored the requirements of
the act of 1905 which gives the state
jurisdiction over all public water sup
plies and which has operated so sue
cessfully in a number of places. The
company Is liable to have its fran
chises revoked if the attorney general
sends the case to court.

Taking Out Licenses.

Insurance Commissioner Charles
Johnson's notice of last week to in.
surance companies that all agents and
solicitors must take out licenses and
that brokers must not write life in.
surance has brought prompt answer
in the shape of applications for IL
oenses by the score. The notices
were issued last week as result OF
an opinion given to Mr.. Johnson by
the attorney generals department and
required every person soliciting insur.
ance to take out license, this being
the provision of the insurance act of
June 1. The licenses have come chief.
ly from the large cities, although
many men in smaller towns are look

Must Observe the Law.

Harrisburg.-Dairy and Food Com
missioner James Foust has given di.
rections to his agents to secure sam
pies of all cocoanut candy on the
market in the state for the purpose
of determining by chemical analysis
whether cereals are being used in the
preparation of the confection in def
ance of the law. The commissioner
has lately received a number of COM
plants that cocoanut candies were SC
stiff that children could not bite into
them and that when wet some Of
them seemed to be partially made Of
flour paste. Samples analyzed showed
that flour was being used. Under
the state food laws, flour cannot be
used in making confectionery any
more than it can be used in sausage.

PITTS POWER COULD RUN NAVY.
lmmensity of Industries Pictured as
Gigantic Enaine and Ely Wheel

Pittsburgh, PA gigantic steam
engine of 791,047-horse power with a
cylinder half as long as a city block,
a driving rod as thick as a church
steeple, and a flywheel as high as the
Henry w. Oliver building would be
required to generate power that would
be required to generate power that is
used in operating the different plant
and industries in the Pittsburgh dis
trict This exemplifcation of the
magnitude of Pittsburgh's industries
has been made from the figures com,
piled by Director Il. Dana Durand OF
the United States Census Bureau.
1t is estimated that the power used
by Pittsburgh's S industries could drive
every battleship and armored cruiser
of the United States navy at top
speed, and there would be enough
power left to draw 10 express trains
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The census bureau, at the sugges
tion of the Industrial Development
Commission, compiled a list of all
mills and plants which belong to the
Pittsburgh metropolitan district. The
industries thus listed represent an in
vestment of $642 2,527O46, The value
of the annual product for 1910 was
S57S,S15, ,493 and the total yearly pay
roll was $l15,049,924

Developing A Character.

The late Frances f. Willard said:
There are so many kinds of beauty
after which one may strive that We
are bewildered by the bare attempt
to remember them. There is beauty
of manner, of utterance, of achieve
ment, of reputation, of character;
any one of these outweighs beauty OF
person, even in the scales Of society,
to say nothing of celestial values.
Cultivate most of the kind that
lasts the longest. The beautiful face
with nothing back of it lacks the stay
ing qualities that are necessary to
those who would be winners in the
race of life. 1t is not the first mile
post but the last that tells the story;
not the outward-bound steed but the
one in the home stretch that we hail
as victor"

Enemies of Matrimony.

Wedlock seems to be in bad way
in the mountains of the Dauphine.
The confirmed bachelors of the
country decided to meet every month
and toast celibacy. Invitations are
sent out with the information. Good
feeding, good drinking, much laughter.
much dancing" An added insult to
matrimony is that the invitations
were sent to all spinsters who have
put on st. Katherines cap; that
is to say who are over 20 and are
therefore presumed to be on the high
road to old maidenhood. The con-
irmed bachelors announced their
intention of eating, drinking, laughing
and dancing with the old maids every
month. But their very hardihood may
be their undoing.-London Telegraph.

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT.
Rctinsl Fatigue Depends on the
Amount Received.

1t is not so much the intensity of
the light focused on the retina as it
is the quantity received by that SEN
sitive organ that causes retinal fatigue
or worse. In the great snow fields of
the artic regions the natives protect
their eyes from the glare Of the snow
by goggles made of followed pieces
Of wood in which they have made
small holes to look through. This,
says the optical Review" reduces
the quantity of the light which passes
into their eyes with consequent relief
from the glare.
So, too, if We look through a min
ute pinhole disc at the sun we can en-
dure the very bright light much longer
than when we look with the naked
eyes. If We look at distant electric
arc light there is no retinal fatigue,
while if We look at the same light
rom a short distance there is great
discomfort, and yet the two retinal
images are of equal brilliancy, only
IN tie first case this image is very
much smaller than in the second
case; that is the quantity of light is
very much different.
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
Of the large cities of the country.
This light is much less brilliant than
that Of the arc light, and yet its size
is so great that this more than makes
up the difference, and it is therefore
very glaring and uncomfortable to
look at. In skiascopy it is possible to
use very intense light if it is made
small in area, and for the reasons
above stated.

Park Extension Work Progressing.

The Capitol park extension CON-
mission is having little difficulty in
obtaining options on properties in the
park district and within a short time
they will have as many as the allow
ance for this year will permit. 1t is
possible that if advantageous bargains
can be made that the commission may
ask for additional funds which can
be given if the governor, aditor gen.
eral and state treasurer agree and
there is sufficient money in the treas
ury above appropriations to justify
the allowance.

Why a Horse Rolls.

Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground and no animal more thorough
ly shakes itself than they do. After
roll they give themselves a shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end of
a journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand, which acts as blotting paper,
absorbing exudations from the body.
A shake removes the sand, and the
coat soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot
climates sometimes put sand on their
horses as the simplest and quickest
way to dry them.-Selborn Maga-
zine.

Opium Struggled in Barrel Slaves.

Through some clever work on the
part of the customs secret services
men 1919 cans of opium hidden in the
staves of barrels containing lamp
backing were seized and the would be
importer and his assistants were ar
rested As the slaves of the barrels
wore rather thick just in the centre
instead Of being followed, the SNUG
glers had carved out small sort of
pocket large enough to contain a
narrow can of opium in each stave.
When the slaves were set together it
was impossible to see these openings.

A War on Wild Pigeons.

A great slaughter of wild pigeons
took place all over the Isle of Wight
and It was estimated that quite a
thousand guns were enrolled for the
campaign, among them being land
owners, occupiers and shooting ten
ants who we're publicly invited to take
part. The guns were stationed in
woods and coppices over wide area
Some big bags we're obtained The
farmers have suffered terribly owing
to the depreciation caused by the wild

earmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that State
by act of Parliament. No more could
be legally engaged, but those already
employed could remain on condition
that they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their services
was that their wages jumped from 20
shillngs to G3 a week. The hotels
that have had to employ barmen re-
port a considerable change for the
worse in their receipts.-London

too much, they cannot escape the
public's appraisal of their service
and the consequences in a campaign
for reelection.
This whole question depends upon
the opinion that may be held as to
the real source of government. If we
believe it is to powerful special int
erests that a president must cater in
order to secure a recollection, then We
would all agree that there should be
only one term. If, on the other hand,
We believe that the great mass of the
voters make and un-make presidents,
then we should agree that the presi-
dent should be asked to make an ac-
counting by a campaign for re-elec-
ton.
