FEW LOW WAGE FACTS
Mrs. Raymond Robins, at the ban
quet of the Chicago Association of
Credit Men in the Hotel Sherman last
evening, cited a few instances to
prove the folly of the argument used
by employers that girls earning low
wages are not worth any more.

the women who make those beauti-
fully embroidered waists that are so
expensive are often given $3.50. for
two weeks work? ~.
"And the girl who makes those ex-
quisite Irish crocheted yokes-work
that demands a vast amount of skill
gets just 9 cents each for the yokes
and must pay 21a cents for the cot

Mrs. Robins also told the men who
were smoking of the suffering of the
girl workers who made cigars in tene-
ment houses, and she said to the
women nibbling nuts that if they re-
allied under what terrible conditions
the nuts were shelled in tenement
houses, they would lend their
strength to save their sisters from
the suffering such undergrad work
involves.

MANS HEART DISTENDS
TO TEN INCHES IN WIDTH
Case of Edward w. Hooker Classed
as Most Remarkable in Annals
of Pathology.

NEW YORK, December BACKWARD
w. Hooker, Connecticut state senator.
and former mayor of Hartford, who sail
ed today for Bermuda has twice been
pronounced dead. but he was very much
alive today in discussing his experience.
He was told by physicians that his case
is one of the most remarkable in the an
nails Of pathology. His heart recently dis
tended itself to ten inches in width as
compared with four inches which is the
width of an average persons heart.
When this dilation occurred for the
first time year ago Mr.. Hooker became
unconscious and was thought to be dead.
Twice he was revived by artificial respi-
ration. He was told by a physician that
the wall Of his heart was almost as thin
as an ordinary piece Of paper and the
fact that 1t had not broken was a marvel
of good fortune. 1t is said that per-
sons are not known to have lived after
their hearts had been widened to more
than seven inches. Mr.. Hooker's heart
is now reduced to one-half more than it's
normal size and Its walls are slowly re-
Stunning their normal thickness. but he is
still. in such a condition that he cannot
travel by rail-
During the last year he has lost in
weight from $50 to less than 100 pounds.
He attributes his ailment to overexer-
else. it having been his habit to take long
trampS in the woods and mountains. Mr..
Hooker Is a third descendant Of Joseph
Hooker, the founder Of Hartford.

The Searchli8ht
A Versatile Motor Truck.

The city of Boston owns three-ton
motor truck that can claim the record
for versatile efficiency. 1t was designed
primarily as a sprinkling cart and used
In summer for laying the dust in the
street When cold weather came, sprink-
ling was no longer necessary, SO the tank
was filled with oil and the truck used to
oil the park roads, simply by changing
the spraying device.
When using either oil or water the
truck is equipped with pressure pump
run by the same motor that drives the
truck, SO that it Is possible to fill the
tank from a stream or pond, or an oil
tank, when no outside pressure is avail
able.
This pressure pump further contributes
to the versatility of the truck by making
1t useful as an emergency fire engine.
pump action the truck can be made to
throw a strong stream of water capable
of putting out a fire In small house or
a heap of waste material such as is often
found in the outlying portions of the city.
The varied uses to which this particular
truck has been put have suggested to the
city authorities a similar equipment for
all the street sprinklers, SO that in the
future these machines will not lie idle in
the barns all during the winter months
In addition to this versatility, this truck
has demonstrated that 1t can do the ordi-
nary work of four or five horse drawn
water carts.

Magnitude of the Islands.

The Island of Luzon. in the Philippines,
is as large as Belgium. Holland and
Denmark, which support population of
100000: Mindanao is as big as Indiana,
Hawaii is as large as Connecticut and
Porto Rico is larger than Delaware and

when the United States took hold of
Porto Rico fifteen years ago there was
but one building i'm the entire island
which had been erected for school pur-
