UP-TO-DATE CHARITY.

The Charity Conference held at
Gary last week emphasized feature
of charity work which well deserves
study at the hands of all who are in
any way interested in activities along
this line. 1t is the twentieth century
idea, that real charity consists in
teaching and helping unfortunates 70
take care themselves. This idea does
in no way conflict with emergency re-
life, but which should however be
considered only the first step toward
an end, to-wit to make the dependent
receiver independent

EVIL CAN BE REMEDIED.

Every one who has given thought
to the track elevation problem i'll
Hammond has come to the conclusion
that while the ultimate remedy is to
come with the future years, that
much can be done Immediately to
give relief.
A friendly spirit of cooperation be-
tween the railroads and the city au-
thorities would give the best results.
but past experience has been disap-
pointing.
If all the means toward such an
end have been exhausted; if the city
is forced to take the alternative, the
way is clear. The law defying and
public ignoring railroads can be and
should be compelled TO keep the cross
ings clear. That would give some
immediate relief and it depends
wholly upon the insistence of the
people to what degree they shall be
re-established in their rights.
If that course is to be followed we
| look to the city administration for
results, and it may rest assured, if n
| is inclined to weigh the political
| prestige in this matter, that there is
no divided public opinion.
| The law is plain; of the four hun
dred trains crossing Holman street
daily one the eighty passenger trains
have a right to hold a crossing for
l IF hnr II r
as a rule Freight trains have nc
right whatever to stand still or
crossings, and with an efficient police
department, and an active city attor
ney this law can be enforced.
The first step in the right direction
is the employment of a specially de
tailed policeman whose sole duty i
shall be to bring in offending railroad
crews.
II The board of public words and TIL
city council through other means cal

We appreciate that the law is I'm

They are unfortunate in that thei

why girls leave school, is the title
Of bulletin issued the other day by
the United States bureau Of education,
based on an inquiry made by its ex-
perts into trade and labor conditions
among girls in Worcester. Mass.
The claim that children are forced
to leave school to work because their
parents need the money is repudiated
by the officials OF the bureau. They
found that from one-half to three
fourths of the girls at work in the fac
tories could have had further school
ing II they had desired or II their par
ents had insisted upon 1t.
Various reasons we're assigned by
the girls for their refusal to attend
school longer, according to the bureau.
Some said they did not like SCHOOL,
others could not get along with the
teacher and we're not promoted" while
many simply wanted to go to work"
Only II per cent. of the girls CUES
toned had finished the grammar
schools, while most Of them had left
in the sixth and seventh grades.
Conditions such as were found"
says the bulletin, emphasizes the i'm
perative need for special training of a
practical sort for girls between the
ages of thirteen and fifteen. Not get
ting the kind of training they might
have liked and would have profited
by, they blindly joined the army of
shifting, inefficient, discontinued girls
that go from one monotonous factory
job to another. and because of their
lack Of training, rarely rise above the
class Of low paid. unskilled workers.

HEAD STOPS A BRICK.

William Moore, a negro. awakened
the other day with a bad headache
while physicians expected that he
would have been occupying space in
the morgue. He stopped brick the
day before after it had fallen ten sto-
ries and was travelling with the We
locity of a cannon ball. When it hit
Moore on the top of his head it broke
into bits Moore sat down suddenly,
and apparently was subject for the
coroner.
Workmen on the building from
which the brick dropped sent hurried
ly for a physician. Before the doctor
arrived Moore was up.
'What'ye want to do that for?" he
demanded angrily of workman who
was bending over to catch the sup
posedly dying mans last words.
Examination of Moore revealed that
all he suffered was headache. The
brick contractor charged the brick te
profit and loss.

or the 10000 children enrolled in the
Hawaiian public schools nearly 10000
of them are japanese. This informa-
ton was received by the United States
bureau of education in a report from
Gov. Walter F. Frear OF the islands.
The Japanese. moreover. are increas-
ing their attendance on the schools
more rapidly than any other race, the
report adds.
A notable feature of Governors
Frear's report is found in the state
ment that the children OF Americans
and other Caucasian races, outside of
the Portuguese. constitute only IL per
cent OF the attendance. The Portu-
guese enrolment in the schools Is
next highest to that the Japanese,
being approximately IT per cent. OF
the total. The Hawaiian and part-Ha-
waiian children form about 20 per
cent of the whole and Chinese II per
cent.
The cost of maintaining the schools
in the territory last year was approx
mately $625, 900. There are ISL schools
OF elementary grade, three industrial
institutions, a normal schools, a col
lege of agriculture and mechanical
arts and two high schools

SUPPLY OF RAD|UN
Two Thirds Of Ore Comes From
United States.
Then This Country Is Forced to Buy
Abroad Valuable Product From
Raw Material Bought Herein
dustry to Be DsveioSed.

Washington. - Fully two-thirds o
the radium supply of the world comeI
from the United States, according L
the bureau of mines. This discovery
has just been made by officials Of the
bureau, who have found that large
Quantities of the radum-bearing ore.
are being shipped abroad through the
foresight of foreign scientists. AL
/ though the bureau of mines has ascer
tanned that the United States has the
greatest known supply of radlumbear
ing ores. not one bit has been pro
duced here. II is the intention Of the
bureau Of mines, in view Of these
facts, to encourage the development OF
this industry, the product of which is
valued at approximately s2.25O,0OO an
ounce.
The United States today is In the
humiliating position Of being forced to
purchase at extravagant prices from
abroad such radium as its hospitals
and physicians can afford for expert
mental purposes, while we have been
supplying the ores from which 1t is
made" said Charles L. Parsons, chief
of the division of mineral technology
of the bureau.
Several months ago rumors reached
the buraeu of mines that in Colorado
there had been an increased demand
for carnotite, the radium-carrying ore,
and that this ore was being shipped
abroad in considerable quantity. It
was also reported that the Europeans
we're insisting upon only the highest
grades of these ores, and that a great
amount of lower grade ores was prac-
tically being wasted
r. B. Moore and X. L. Kithil, in
charge of the Denver (Col) laboratory,
investigated these rumors and found
that. while all the radium placed upon
the market In the last few years had
been produced in Europe, large por-
ton of this had come from American
ores.
The Austrian government. realizing
the untold possibilities of the radium
ores at st. Joachlmtshal. purchased
the mines On the other hand, the
United States has allowed her much
greater resources. to be exploited by
foreigners on a basis which wastes
perhaps irretrievably a large portion
OF the ores mined, and has exported
carefully selected ores at price by no
means commensurate with Its radium
value.
The discovery Of radium has al
ready changed our ideas regarding the
constitution of matter. and scientific
Investigation will undoubtedly lead to
valuable results which we cannot now
even foresee. II is the purpose of the
bureau of mines to encourage the de-
velopment of radium industry in the
United States"

SAVINGS SYSTEM TRANSFERRED.

Postmaster General Burleson has
signed an order transferring the pos
tai savings system to the bureau OF
the third assistant postmaster gener-
al. The order became effective on
May l, 1913. Since the creation of the
postal savings system on January 1,
1911, 1t has been conducted as a sep
arate and distinct bureau under the
direction Of the postmaster general.
The transfer of the system is deemed
advisable by the postmaster general,
since all other financial functions of
the postal service are segregated in
the bureau of the third assistant post
master general. At the present time
the postal savings system is operating
in approximately 1900 post Offices,
and the amount on deposit aggregates
SS5,000,000 exclusive of S2,500,000
which has been converted into postal
savings system bonds. In the central
office at Washington there are 1SS EN-
ployes. including the director, assist
ant director and four other supervis-
DRY officers. The appropriation for
carrying on the business of the sys-
TEN for 1912 amounted to 100000,
and the appropriation for 1913 is
100000 and the unexpended amount
of the 1912 appropriation. In addition
to these appropriations there is an
appropriation Of s229,SsO for clerk
hire and $1O5.500 for supplies ant
miscellaneous expenses for 1914.
