English staff officers coming toward

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTORS

Prizes running into the millions are
offered for certain commercially val
liable inventions; but as yet no one has
come forward to claim them.
The individual who will invent a
sanitary ventilated hat. made on sci
entifc principles. can easily make a
fortune. And II is a wonder that with
all the inventive genius of Americans,
suitable device Of this kind has not
yet been made.
What a boon such a hat would be.
Badness is dreaded. and while many
nostrums and so-called cures for
badness have been widely exploited
and widely advertised, II is q fact we'll
recognized by physicians and derma =
tologists that badness is absolutely
incurable. 1t is true that II can be
prevented. and one OF the surest meth
DDS for preserving the hair is to allow
II to have a constant supply of fresh
air
The ordinary hat. hermetically sealed
as II is, prevents the hair-from receiv-
ing any air, and is one OF the most
prolific causes Of badness as il well
known by those who make a study of
the scalp and the hair q speciality.

the body. Deprived OF air for but a

You never saw a baldheaded Indian.
The reason is very plain-he always

man. he went hatless.

hair, and your fortune Is in sight.
While certain so-called ventilating
devices for hats have been patented.
nothing suitable in this direction has
yet been offered. The proper ven

American Laws for Safety and Sani-

More Easily Enforced.

Recognition Of the fact that the admin

detecting violations Of law is becoming
more and more apparent in efforts for the
protection OF the working classes. The
establishment of definite rules and stand
ards for safety and health Of workers.

inspecto: ., and the creation in number
of States Of industrial commissions with
large powers are indications Of the prog
ress made.
In view of the attention the subject is
receiving in this country. the experience
OF foreign countries in the administration
of labor laws and factory inspection is Of
peculiar interest, and a report on this
subject, covering Great Britain, Germany.

Bulletin, No. 142, of the United States
Bureau OF Labor Statistics OF the Depart
ment OF Labor is both timely and in
structive.
In the countries named labor laws date
back to the beginning Of the nineteenth
century, but the first measures for their
enforcement were not passed until 1888
when factory inspection was established
in England, while similar action was not
taken elsewhere until 1874, when France
created a labor inspection department,
followed by Switzerland in ISL, Germany
in 1878, Austria in 1883, and Belgium in

Personnel HiRh-CIass-
While experience has shown that labor
laws without provisions for enforcement
are practically futile as protective meas
ures, emphasis must also be placed upon
the importance Of efficiency in the admin
istrative machinery, its scope and func-
tfsns, its methods Of work, the character
of its personnel, and the provision of def
mite standards as to safety and santa
ton. In only one OF these phases OF ad-
ministrative work was marked superiority
found in the countries visited, as COM
pared with the United States. This was
in the training and character OF the in
spectorial force. In Europe the position
of factory inspector can be secured only
after long technical training and severe
tests. The occupation is classed as a pro-
fession ranking with law. medicine, and
engineering. Tenure OF ONCE Is secure
and pensions are given for long service
and old age. Men who seek these posi-
tions are OF exceptional character and at
tainments and their work is correspond
ingly efficient.
In France and Belgium the whole work
of labor-law enforcement Is centered in
the labor inspection departments. but in
