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 ii broke
into bits. Moore sat down suddenly,
and apparently was a subject for the
coroner.
Workmen on the budding 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 a workman who
was bending over to catch the sup
posedly dying mans last words.
Examination of Moore revealed that
all he suffered was a headache. The
brick contractor charged the brick to
profit and loss.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII SCHOOLS.


Of 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 of the Japanese,
being approximately II 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, normal schools. a col
lege Of agriculture and mechanical
arts and two high schools.

Enqlsnd's Oldest Bowling Green.

Which is our oldest recreation
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However,
when it comes to actual records, the
fine old English game Of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
green's was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer a fire jack
competition is held, and an order OF
knighthood Is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center Of the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with sword and dubs him "sir. "

WHY GIRLS QUIT SCHOOL.

Why girls leave schoor' is the title
OF a bulletin issued the other day by
the United States bureau OF education,
based or an inquiry made by it's 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 If they had desired or If their par
ents had insisted upon it.
Various reasons were 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 were not promoted" while
many simply wanted to go to work. I"
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, disconnected 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"

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 1, 1913. Since the creation of the
postal savings system on January l.,
1911, it 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 $4,000 post Offices,
and the amount on deposit aggregates
$35, 100000, exclusive of S2,50O,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-
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 s229,9S0 for clerk
hire and s105,5OO for supplies and
miscellaneous expenses for 1914.

SUPPLY OF RAD|UM
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 Developed.

Washington. - Fully two-tnirds OF
the radium supply OF the world comes
from the United States, according to
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 ores
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 radsum- bear
Ing ores, not one bit has been pro-
duced here. 1t 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 $2,250,000 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 II 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 Misunderstanding ore,
and that this ore was being shipped
in,
was also reported that the Europeans
were insisting upon only the highest
grades of these ores, and that a great
amount of lower grade ores was pFac-
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. Joachimtshal, 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 large portion
of the ores mined, and has exported
carefully selected ores at price by no
means commensurate with it's 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. 1t is the purpose of the
velopment of radium industry in the
United States"
