WOULD BE OF GREAT VALUE
Idea for Laboratory of Safety De.
vices Has Been Put Forward by
Employers of Labor.

Why not have laboratory of safe
ty devices is the question asked by
many manufacturers who have been
giving honest attention to the subject
of preserving the health and physical
Uell-being Of their employees. With the
many safety devices already offered,
the average. manufacturer is some
what in the dark as to the appliances
which best could befit his business.
With this idea in view, 1t is pro-
posed that staff of competent engt
neers be appointed whose sole duty 1t
shall be to test the numerous appll.
ances offered and decide whether they
are fitted to the various Industries
they represent.
Fire prevention naturally would
prove one of the biggest subjects to
be taken under consideration. Many
inventions have to do with hose, doors,
shutters, etc, and under present con.
ditions the only way for q factory
owner to determine their value is to
put them to a test-those tests oft
times being made under conditions
where O great loss in human life re-
suits.

MALAYs NOT OF ONE RACE
Common Error. But Travellers Know
That,It Has No Foundation
In Fact.

Take the Java Malay, be he Java
nese, Soundanese or Madourese.
Watch him climb cocoanut palm; in
less than no time he is at the top OF
tne smooth trunk, fifty or sixty feet In
height Notice him in the street
squatting-his toes, like those of q
monkey, prominent-on the edge OF q
step or pavement, note his sinuous
movements! Is he not man Of nature
all over? All the aboriginal inhabi
tants OF the Malay archipelago are
Malays, but In Java alone you find the
calm, quiet Soundanese of West Java,
the true Javanese of Middle Jaya-s
much finer race-and the treacherous
Madourese Of Madoura and East Java.
1t Is therefore evident that to talk
about "Malays" is really incorrect
Anthropologically only is 1t really
correct to term all these peoples Ma.
lays; one would not think of terming
all white people Aryans The term
Malay" merely refers to one Of the
great families Of mankind. The Malay
men folk, taking them as a whole, do
not make as near so good an impress
sion as their women. Contrary to
what they really are. they look puny; |;
they are also short, have shifty eyes,
broad nose, perhaps a mustache, sell

worthy, will harbor revenge for years,

an-wear a head covering. made of col

this carelessly, although the Malays Of
higher standing are very careful in ar.
ranging it, which they do very ingeni.
ously. 1t looks incongruous to see a
Malay with "topee,' or helmet, above
his usual head covering; nevertheless,
this is general. A pair Of cotton
pants, shirt, and girdle of printed
cloth, called "sarong," form the av.
erage Malay's garb. and he is seldom
without his kris or dagger-like

One day the late James McNeill
Whistler, the famous artist, went into
q London hat shop. He stLod there
bareheaded, as the clerk had taken his
hat to another part of the shop to
match It. As he leaned idly against
the counter, man rushed up to him,
took of his hat, thrust It into Whist
ler's face, and exclaimed in anger:
Look here. want you TO understand
that know something about hats, and

LEADERS ARE MEN OF ACTION
Having an Idea, They Have Impressed

World Has Moved.

The nations are q series Of abort
experiments. A nation may disin-
tegrate inside Of century. It may
flower inside Of 80 years. It would be
possible that middle-western town
like Cedar Rapids should tomorrow

who should overrun the earth with
the charm and vigor Of their. ideas.

would have the miracle Of Plato's
Athens, OF Blizabeth's London.
II now and again some man had
not deciced to stop drifting and take
hold Of things and reshape them,
there would have been no discovery,
no invention. no art. He might have
said, as many like to say: "why not
let my big idea rest quietly? There
is time enough in the long future
Why be In hurry? Why so hot, lit
tie man? There is quiet sleep In the
churchyard for the men that have
gone before, and soon I too will be
there" But, prevailing, he said:
Nov Is the time, and the place is
here, to bring my idea to action. I
insist on being heard. Here Is the
plan We will not postpone It till
next century. We will try 1t now"
1t is our business to make our
ideas prevail. We are not to go si.
lent, nor to retire from activity, be-
lieving that our nation is long.lived,
and that our thought has an eternity
In which to come<to pass. We must
speak up. We must strike early and
strike hard. The time is short. It is
right to wish to get something done
In our own lifetime.-Harper'
