DDS and Finding. Of the Industrial
Survey" Mr.. Winslow said in part.
THE scope Of the survey included a
study of the following 1os occupations.
OF which thirty al: in the metal
traces. twenty-six occupations In the
printing trades, .thirty-five occupa-
tons in the building and woodwork
ing trades. eighteen occupations in tho
tobacco industry, besides the DEPART
ment stores. These occupations rep.
resent over 5000 workers.
Interviews were held with en-
pioyers and groups OF employers TO
explain the purpose of the survey.
and Of the questionnaires used. and TO
secure their Cooperation The em-
ployers schedules were usually filled
out through personal interviews,
There We're also groups of.workers at
their places OF employment or at
their organization meeting places. for
the same purposes as the correspond
ing interviews with employers. In-
dividual schedules were secured from
500 workers. each representing a per-
sonal conference of about twenty min
utes. Many visits were made TO shops
and factories by field agents to study
industrial processes and conditions, !
and numerous conferences were held
with men and organizations famiiar
with the Industrial and commercial
conditions in Richmond. All findings
based on the data Eoileetea were sab
mitted TO employers and workers for
criticism and approval
Occupations were studied by trade
groups and a complete ANALYSIS OF
each occupation prepared. This anaIy-
sis in presented for each trade in

studies or Individual Workers.
There are no children under
fourteen years of age employed in the
printing, building and metal trades,
and there are comparatively few apr
prentsees In these trades. More than
half OF the workers have received In !
Richmond whatever training they have
had. and about three-fonrths of them
in Virginia. Not only is there rela-
lively very little moving about from
place TO place but there Ia very HI
tie shifting about from occupation To
occupation About 81 per cent OF the
workers in thesestrades have been IL,
their present occupations from six 10
fifteen years. and two-thirds have
never been iii any other occupation
than their present one.
PRACTICALLY none or the workers
in these trades became wage earners
before the age of fourteen. about
seven-eighths o Them began to work
ater reaching fifteen wears Of age.
more than cne-half entered employ
ment after fifteen and under eighteen
years of age.
Richmond workers come from tn.
elementary schools, The typical me-
chanic in these trades has had less
thar, Seyen sears of schooling. so pert
Ecent having received not more than
seven wears IT any sort of schooling
Only six or OF 500 had received al
much as eleven years Of schooling
Much fthis school attendance was
IN ungraded classes in rural districts
More than 50 per cent OF these work
ers reported that progress In their
trades is, or has been, impeeded BY
lack of education"

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N Dakota-"The eczema
started on my scalp. It finally went
on to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing a sore about the size Of a dime.
At times the itching and burning were
so intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more l scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry. lifeless and thin. My
hair was falling SO terribly that had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.
II had been bothered with eczema

months and I was cured" (Signed)

that she may put into port for repairs.

New Cure Cor Warts.

DR.. Felix Szontagh of Budapest rec
ommends new and simple method of
treating warts. 1t consists in covering
the wart and the surrounding skin, to
the width of one centimeter with or
binary caoutchouc plaster, and leav,
ing it so covered for weeks-even, if
necessary, for two or three months.
Whenever the plaster becomes loose
1t must be removed and replaced by a
new piece. AS a rule, the plaster is
to be changed once in three or four
days.
Any adherent residue of the caout-
choUc is to be removed with ether or
gasoline, care being taken that the
wart or the surrounding skin shall not
be rubbed energetically, because irri-
tation Of the skin is not conducive to
the disappearance of the wart. Doc
tor Szontagh says that he cannot ex-
plain the action of this simple meth
cd, and how it produces such excel
lent results, from the cosmetic point
of view, but states it is certainly eff
cient Perhaps the caoutchouc con-
tains some substance which softens
the wart and causes atrOphy.
