Pacific Northwest dalrymen are in
tensely interested in the milking ma
chine. More dairymen have given
up the dairy business on account of
being unable to keep force of COM
petent milkmen than from any other
cause known. In many parts of the
country it is almost impossible to get
competent help, especially men who
will take any interest in caring for
dairy COWS.
For this reason more than any other
the milking machine is coming into
favor. The making of the milking
machine, like the establishment of
any other improvement to cut down
labor, has been one of great deal Of
experimentation. 1t has taken sever
al years to make them successful.
However, after several years of effort
on the part of machinists, backed by
the best judgment of successful dairy
men, practical milking machines
have been developed.
Dairymen in all parts of the coun-
try are now putting in these machines
and are finding them not only to be
great labor savers, but valuable from
a sanitary standpoint. A year ago
the New York Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Geneva issued Bulle-
tin No. 1853, in which the matter OF
milking machines was discussed at
consid cradle length. The especial
design of this bulletin was to show
that the milking machine does not
effect the flow of milk, one Of the
criticisms which has been charged
against the milking machine. We are
glad to have an authority of this kind
from which to make the quotations
below:
Gin any factory new machine, to
secure attention, must promise econ
omy in labor without material lower
ing of quality. In some cases the
machine made product may not be
quite so good as the hand made arti-
Gle it replaces, but the cost reduction
be great enough to more than coun-
terbalance the slight falling off in
quality; and the machine installed.
In the dairy, however, quality is the
essential consideration. With the
present day demand for clean, sweet,
bealthfuI milk, any mechanical device
whose use increased the number of
bacteria in the milk produced would
not be generally used however efficient

There is a man in our town and he,

counter up at Ledger Central and his
sole business is to devise ways and means
for getting good men who are out of

them, and to find expert help for en-
ployers who have not the time to give

He works on the theory that there

Up within them the kind OF efficiency that

showed into the bottle SO tight that no

The man up at Ledger Central has
made a speciality of prying open these

He's a firm believer in the psychology
of advertising. Two men may have an

TAKES BURDEN FROM EMPLOYERS.
He is a friend of the employer also.
nHe has helped him out in many a con-
tngency. For instance, a man came to
Ledger Central not so very Ions ago and
placed an advertisement in the paper
for clerk. Seventy-five dollars a
month was the remuneration offered and
six hundred letters from applicants de-
string the job were received
Obviously to have given each one OF
these letters individual attention would
have meant the consuming of much time
and yet the advertiser felt that he
wanted TO get the best applicant. So
the employment specialist helped him in
the wedding out process and that facili-
tated things greatly.
In many cases the Ledger Central ex-
pert takes the entire burden from the
business mans shoulders and actually
employs the kind of man wanted with
out the employer being so much as
bothered with a single letter or applI-
cant. The whole affair is handled for
him. He simply signifies the sort of man
no wants and Ledger Central gets that
sort for him.
The employment specialist UP there
has had wide experience. The next

Methods of Juvenile Court
in Caring for Youthful
Delinquents Here Attract
Attention of Welfare
Workers.

There is work being done IN this
city which has attracted the attention OF
child welfare workers not only through
out the State, but also in such big juve-
nile reform work centres as Chicago,
Denver and Los Angeles. This work is
being done at the House of Detention,
ed and Arch streets, where H. p.
Richardson Is the director and where
Judge James E. German presides in the
Juvenile Court,
The work of the House of Detention re-
ceived great impetus with the organiza-
tion OF the juvenile division of the Mu-
nlcipal Court last January. With the
coming of Judge German as the head OF
the Juvenile Court. the establishment of
the new probation system, composed OF a
large corps Of probation officers. The
organization of the medical and psy-
chologic clinic upon broader basis,
under the management of DR.. Walter s.
Cornell, and the general system of CO.
operation between these departments. all
done with the one purpose in view of
helping the poor, homeless, delinquent
and dependent boys and girls of the city,
may be said to be making history as far
as juvenile reform work in Pennsylvania
is concerned.
Good results are being accomplished on
the principle that the child is but the
product of environment and heredity and

THE PSYcHoLoGIC TESTS.
In order to differentlate between these
two classes of children, the psychologist
clinic OF the House of Detention, super
vised by Doctor Cornell, does some re-
markable work. There, in the course OF
one day. as many as 20 children will be
brought and will receive the Binet test,
administered by Jean D. Model, psychol-
ogist of the clinic.
Under the careful analysis and observa-
tion of this young woman. the boy or
girl is subjected to a careful, kind and
yet rigid examination. the results of
which arc forwarded to Judge German
who is thereby guided scientifically in
his disposal OF the case.
Sometimes Miss Model will observe a
child as long as two weeks before giving
her decision as to the mental capacity
Doctor Cornell and Miss Model may keep
a boy or girl under observation for two
months. Great care is taken that no
child may be wronged by failure TO de-
termine the proper cause for the offense
Il may have committed.

assigned to make close investigation OF
