STUDY CONvlCTS
WORKING ROADS
Purpose Is to Determine Con-
ditions and Methods Used
in Different States.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.-A joint
arrangement has been perfected the
office of public roads of the depart
ment of agriculture, and the public
health service, for the study of con-
Wet camps and of the utilization OF
convict labor in the construction or
roads and the preparation of road ma
terials. There is a constantly increas-
ing tendency on the part of state gov
ernments to use convict labor in
works of public improvement, such
as road construction, rather than in
the manufacture of articles which
compete with the product of free
labor.
The purpose of the joint study IS
to determine the conditions and meth
DDS by which most satisfactory re-
suits are obtained and the lines along
which improvements may be inaugur-
ated. Studies will be begun in Col
orado during the latter part of Au-
gust, and thereafter visits will be
made to camps in Utah, Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Later
On the studies will extend to Michigan.
Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,

New Boost in Rubber.
Further heavy advances in all rub
Der products is forecast in a state
ment made by the Rubber Club of
America, comprising the principal
manufacturers. 1t says that during
the last week rubber manufacturers
throughout the United States have
been obliged to increase the prices on
their manufactured products from Is
20 % per cent on account of the crude
rubber situation arising from the war
between European nations. These in
creased prices will apply to all rub
Der goods from automobile tires to
rubber bands.
The best grade OF crude rubber
comes from Brazil and from planta-
tons in the far east, now the chief
course OF supply. All of this is clear
ed through foreign banking exchanges.
The small stocks of spot rubber
have advanced in price more than 100
per cent since Aug. l. and unless the
situation is in some measure relieved
there is no telling how far the ad-
vance will go. Nearly all of the car
rying trade between Brazil. the East
Indies and the United States is in the
hands OF the English. German and
Dutch. Unless shipping conditions i'm
prove greatly the situation here out
lined will be greatly aggravated as the
war develops.

KID GLOVE famine
F. 7. Simmons Says by Novem-
Der Women viii Be Unable
to Purchase Them.
PRICES ARE ADVANCING
'OoIIar-a-Pair' Variety Doomed, While
Others Advance as Result
of Shortage

Chicago. Ill, Aug. 20.-"Women will
be glad to take anything they can get
in the way OF gloves by Nov. l." pre-
dicted Francis T. Simmons, head OF
the glove firm OF Francis T. Simmons
& Co. yesterday on his return trip to
New York.
Mr.. Simmons stated that there is 4
women's kid glove supply sufficient for
about three months and that it be
hooved every woman TO conserve her
gloves as she would need every paid
during the coming year
As a result OF this phase OF the Eu-
ropean wars effect American manu-
facturers are preparing 10 supply the
winter trade with a double thickness
silk glove, which II is hoped will be
used as a substitute for the kid var
iety.
The leather glove importations of
the United States for the II months
ending May. 1914, which includes
mems, women's and children's gloves,
show 70 what straits this country will
be put this winter. The totals:
From Germany -...--- i.O39, 563
From United Kingdom --... 6S1,64S
From other nations .....- 1881
Total ...............se.2O2 POP. OO7
The trouble is that The nations at
war are the ones that furnish this
country with leather" said Mr. Sim
mons. AS it is inevitable there will
be q great slaughter OF animals for
food and the skins viii not be saved it
is safe to say four or FIVE years viii be
srl
when the conflict is ended
The glove trade was bad last year
because OF an open winter and fnan-
cial depression in the spring. al
though Chicago business was fairly
good, while New York was very bad.
In consequence the glove importers
placed conservative orders to be
shipped in August and September.
Shortage In New York.
"As a result New York has received
less than one-sixth OF the goods or
dered. On reaching New York a few
days ago I found that department
stores in every section had received
few if any OF the gloves they had or
dered. Buyers we're there from all
over the country.
zone big Chicago store has prac-
tically no gloves, and a week ago a
Boston concern bought a thousand
dozen gloves that sell for S13 a dozen
at 81, and the real state OF affairs
had not dawned on the buyers.
THE pique glove supply is practic-
ally exhausted, and as the department
stores have nearly all the New York
supply no one can see where the ordi-
nary buyer will get any. America can
make the ordinary butchers skin
glove, which is neither fine nor dressy,
and even these have risen IN price.
"Oae result Of the situation is that
the 81 women's Kid glove is doomed
and will be Off the market for all time
II has long been q question how to
maintain this glove with the increased
cost of material and labor abroad. The
wearer was the only one to benefit.

Paying $50 to Teachers Now-That
directors of district schools are recog-
niaing that it pays in actual returns to
give the instructors a living wage is
the belief of County Superintendent
Runge. Salary which is paid these
formerly greatly underpaid teachers
now averages about $50 a month for
nine months. Some teachers are
given $50 or more a month and some
less than $50, but that is about the
average sum paid" said the superin-
tendent. "A few districts declare they
don't care about paying more than
$50 for an instructor, but they do not
usually hire these little-paid teachers
a second time unless the teacher has
been accepting the small amount
merely to obtain requisite experience
to command 2 higher salary 1t was
formerly thought that any one well
enough equipped could be obtained for
$50 a month. the county official de-
clared. Mr.. Runge has been infiuent-
ial in changing this opinion. He has
pointed out. to the farmers that their
hired men are making as high as $40
monthly; that board and room are fur
of horse and buggy free of cost when
the hand desires to go to town; that
his working clothes are items of little
expense; that he has spent little to
learn his duties, and that in spite of
all this the farmer does not consider
$40 too high a wage. On the other
hand he shows the men that the teach
er has to spend years in order to OBJ
tain the requisite training; that she
spends hundreds of dollars and even
thousands in order TO receive this; that
she must keep up good appearance;
that she must pay board for five days,
and car fare home at the end of the
week and that finally she is paid for
only about 200 days work out of Il
year. To live on $500 a year under
these conditions is proved a difficulty
that the directors of country schools
have awakened to.
