Bill was looking for work. He had
tramped round all day inluiring at the
different places where thera was any
probability OF casual laborer finding

At last he came to the great gates
OF the factory owned and run by

"Rightoh!" answered Bill. I'll be

Free SCULPTURE,

Very many years ago 1t was the
fashion Of England and on the con.
tinent to have great gardens Of ever
green trees trimmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filed with crouch
ing lions. pigs and even hens and
chickens. all laboriously scuiptured
from living green and kept in trim by
constant use q the knife and the
shears.
A few of these gardens were estab-
lished in this country and one still re-
mains in perfect condition. 1t ia To-
Gated on the famous Hunnewell estate
at Wellesley. Mass. and is visited by
people from all over the world. The
garden Is on the side of q terraced hill
dropping away to q beautiful little
lake.
Evergreens Of many kinds are to be
found there and each summer a force
Of werkmen with long ladders care
fully prune and trim the branches In
order to preserve the strange shapes
which have been developed with the
utmost patience.

Sunstroke on Mountains.

Sunstroke. according to experiments
made by Profs. Victor Henry and Moy'
cho and reported to the French AGA
demie des Sciences, is due to the in
visible ultraviolet rays at the extreme
limit Of the spectrum. II the solar
spectrum be examined at an altitude
Of from three to four thousand meters
1t will be seen that the limit OF these
rays varies little, but that their in
tensity is greatly increased. At sea
level this intensity Is comparatively
feeble. So one is much more likely to
have sunstroke on high mountain
than in a valley.

The English Language.

The English language contains
about 100000 words. but OF this total
nearly one-half consists Of scientific
erminology-that is seldom met with
outside Of text books-and Of archaic
terms. An examination OF 100000
words shows them to comprise 10000
words of Teutonic origin, 10000 OF
Greek or Latin origin, and 10000
words derived from miscellaneous
sources. The New Standard Diction-
airy contains approximately $4,000
words. Milton wrote his Paradise
Lost with 5000 words, and Shake
speare got up his plays with 10000.

riors kept all hostile tribes and ma

entitled to that fame was evidenced
at the battle of Thermopylae when 800

Attorney Generals Blow to Shipping
THE GEORGIAN has protest

TIME GEORGIAN has protest
ed the opinion of the At
torney General of the
United States which asserts that
the subsection of the tariff that
allows 8 per cent discount on
imports in American vessels is in
operative.
The proviso forbade such
construction of the subsection as
would abrogate or impair exist
ing trade treaties. The proviso
was added only after the State
Departments expert on treaties,
Mr. John Bassett Moore. had in
a written opinion quoted articles
from treaties, showing their scope.
This opinion was made a SEN
ate document The bearing of
treaties, in advance of action by
Congress, was impressively de-
fined. The Attorney Generals
contention Is that Congress did
not know VIII, it was doing in
enacting this subsection.
The Georgian contends that the
sequence of events clearly estab-
fishes that Congress not only
clearly understood what 1t was
doing, but that 1t understood that
imports in certain foreign vessels
would be entitled to the discount
of the duty that imports in Amer
lean vessels enjoyed.
The Georgian has contended
that importers would find redress
through the courts. A Washing
ton dispatch in New York news
paper, which is bitterly opposed
to this subsection and to any re-
vival Of American shipping, thus
confirms The Georgian's conten-
tons:
Treasury officials wore dis
turbed by the litigation in New
York and Coston over the en-
forcement of the per cent diff
ferential in the tariff In favor of
imports carried in American bot
toms, which extends also to ships
Of certain nations by reason of
the American treaty obligations
with Them"
This was precisely The Geor-
CLANS contention, It was ineyi-
table that importers should seek
redress at the hands Of the courts
for the nom enforcement of the
subsection. The dispatch in ques-
ton further states:
ALTHOUGH tho Department of
Justice, through Attorney General
MoReynoIds, has ruled against
the enforcement of the differen-
tial as being impractical. of ap-
plication, it Is understood that
customs brokers and lawyers be-
lieve they can have a good case
against tho Government in the
enforcement Of tho differentiaI,
and THEY AkE TAKING ALL
MANNER OF CASES ON A
CONTINGENT BASIS, believing
thoroughly they will win.
The Attorney General merely
sought delay, hoping the subsec-
ton might be repealed. We DO
not say that his opinion was
written in the interest vf foreign

ton portends to Detroit and to
the Industrial world as a whole.
Detroit is pre- eminently the au-
tomobile city. Great as are the
Ford works, there are others
there hardly overshadowed. The
standard set by Ford must be
closely measured up to by the
others IL they desire to keep their
high-grade employees. Any revi-
sion of wages in that field must
necessarily be a revision upward.
The eight-hour rule can not long
be observed in one great factory
and ignored in the factories of its
rivals.
No possible expenditures of
great profits by a corporation
could be so advantageous to a
city as their distribution among
a great multitude of employees.
The Ford Company Is about to
double the purchasing power OF
thousands of its employees, and
greatly increase 1t for many
thousands more. What this will
mean to the business community
of Detroit and Of the other cities
in which Ford branches are To-
Gated is apparent.
1t is fortunate for the business
interests of the whole nation that
this pre-eminent manufacturing
concern has taken this step at
Just this time. Could there be a
more positive answer to the
croakers who are dismally pre-
dieting hard times, and advising
every man to lock up his dollars
where they can't be lost--or be
useful?
The Ford Company deals with
the average man. The motor
cars it makes are bought by peo-
pie to whom the expenditure OF
few hundred dollars is an event,
and a car a highly priced possess
sion not to be discarded for a
within Of fashion. Its customers
are precisely those who first
would feel the pinch OF hard
times, lessened employment.
slackened industry and falling
wages.
Knowing this, and undoubtedly
not deaf to the dismal forebod-
ings OF pessimists, Henry Ford
announces a policy which will
give employment to third
more workers, which enormously
increases regular wages and con-
fdently assures employees a share
in prodigious profits to be earned
IN 1914.
The business community owes
Henry Ford an inestimable debt.
As for Detroit--well, no wonder
her people declare it "a place
where life is worth living" If liv-
ing there has developed a charac-
ter so rich in practical generosity
and business astuteness as his.
