w. Howe in his monthly says:
ION the line between BulawayO and
Salisbury there are good many
towns, including one built around the
best gold mine In Rhodesia And how
the people turned out to see the train
come In! AT one place we estimated
that there must have been 500 around
the station.
Trains travel over the line only two
or three times a week, and people
seem to come from great distances in
the country to see the trains go by.
But between the stations there were
millions of acres of land as wild as II
was In the days of Adam
early In the morning our English
passengers walked about in pajamas
when we stopped al stations. English
men love that sort OF thing. At Vic
toria falls they visited the Rain forest
In pajamas, and in Johannesburg was
told that on Sundays and holidays pa
jamas are worn around houses and
sards until lunch time.
"Englishmen show their pajamas sc

have the same passion for running
around in pajamas that American boys
have for running around In baseball

Why Stop The Investigation 2

Washington Sept. "A reso-
luton calling upon the Attorney
General to stop at once all pro-
ceedings against the United States
Steel Corporations, under the Sher
man antitrust law, was introduced
i'll the House by Representative
Jefferson M. Levy of New York,
The resolution rec;tes that the
Steel Corporation is a good trust,
and that is a benehcent inhu-
ence in the cosmogony of the ma
ton. Il refers to the fact that the
corporation has distributed in
wages no less than 81, 575, 900, 600,
and that since it came into being
there have been not only extensive
improvements in the quality OF
American steel, but material re-
duction in the price of the corpora
tons product. 1t does not, how.
ever, recite the story of the long
hours of its employees, seven days
week, low wages, and large divi-
dends.

Western Federation of Labor,
writes as follows regarding the set
tlement made: To be brief about
it, | will simple say that we sue
ceeded in completely organizing
district When the work started
we had less than 5000 members. On
August 5 we took g strike vete,
which was carried by B, 234 for
and 80 against. At my suggestion
date of strike was left in hands of
a committee repre- senting the local
unions. But as every effort at
peaceable settlement had failed,
the men were called out on the
10th. Four thousand FIVE hun
dred members of the Western Fed.
Grafton of Miners walked out like
one man, and within few hours
of the time the strike went into
effect. Our demands were for a
| so cent increase in wages and rec
ognition of the union. After II
days of strike and with every plant
still closed down, and without a
single deserter from our ranks, the
strike was settled on a basis OF 20
cents increase In wages and salts
factory protection against discrim
nation for one year. But the best
feature of it, in my est nation, is
that these 500 members of organ
lied labor return 10 work satisfied
and proud of their success, a thing
which encouraged me to hope that
the organizations here will at last
be permanent" The conditions
of the settlement are: First. An
increase of the wage scale of each
of the companies involved in this
strike shall be made for all classes
o. labor employed by the companies
equal to Twenty Five Cents per
day for each of said employees.
Second: Each company shall fle
with the Board of Arbitration q
copy of its tabulated wage scale at
the amended rate and keep a copy
thereof pasted in it's Office. Third
This wage scale 10 be in force one
year from date Fourth: All EN-
ployes of the companies Shall be
reinstated as speedily as conditions
will permit No company shall
discriminate against any employe
on account of his affliction with any
organization, nor because of hi:

of having special Labor Day ser
vices was instituted by Bishop ].

Predicts Public Ownership.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. L
The feature Of the session of the
conference of Governors was an
address by Gov. Edward F. Dunno
of Illinois who spoke on the
Growth Of Public Control of Util-
tiles" His address was an exten-
sive treatise on the development of
the plant in the various States Of
Union, more particularly since 1905
when the movement began to show
itself in definite form. 1.-The ten
dency is plainly in the direction of
the control of public utilities, he
said. THE movement is advanc-
ing by leaps and bounds, and | be-
lieve that within few years there
will not be a State which has not a
public utility commission, empow-
cred by law to control the service
and the sales of the corporations of
the State. In concluding he took
up public ownership and operation
of utilities as the only alternative
in the case of failure of public con-
troll. IF the control shall fail, as
l believe it will not, he said then
the only alternative left is public
ownership and operation of util-
tiles"

FACTS ABOUT BABIES.
Some Tha$ surprised and One That
Pleased the Professor.

IL never knew before | had one"
said the professor OF physics to his
bachelor assistant, Just how closely
our science could be applied to baby
| have been astounded at the following
true conclusions:
"As two similar bodies vary In weight
as the cubes Of their dimensions, ] find
that a baby two feet long should weigh
just about one-sixteentb Of man five
feet high; also that, as the surfaces OF
two similar bodies vary as the square
of their dimensions, a baby as before
face Of the man So the extent OF sur
face proportional to weight in the baby
is vastly greater than In the adult. In
fact, a square foot of the baby's skin
would shield just one-third the sub.
stance of what square foot would on
an adult.
"Argulng from this and knowing
that the rate of cooling Of a solid de-
pends on the extent of surface, found
that a baby got cold quicker or warm
quicker when exposed to a fire than a
man: also, as any living body is high
er In temperature than the surrounding
air and has to lose heat continually
the rate Of loss depending on the sur
FACET Is readily seen that baby, In
order to keep up normal temperature
has to furnish more heat in proportion
to It's weight than man, and therefore
has to eat more In proportion to its
weight than man To prove that g
baby gives out an enormous amount
of heat. keep the heat from escaping
| by wrapping heavy blanket around
it. In a half an hour the temperature
/ under the cover will be almost unbear
able to the hand, and the baby will be
! found covered with sweat
