MOST WONDERFUL OF PUMPS
contrivance Known 40 the human
Heart Truly Marvellous Piece
Of Machinery.

The most perfect pump In the world,
the most perfect ever made, is also the
oldest-how old, no one knows. for 1t
is as old as man himself
This pump is SO small and so light
that 1t might be carried in an overcoat
pocket Yet it runs day and night
without a stop, without attention,
drawing in and sending forth two and
and half ounces of liquid 10 times q
minute. In one minute 1t pumps 175
ounces; insone hour. 656A pounds; in
one year, 5,z48,750 pounds It's normal
life is about 70 years, in which time
it pumps 402,412, 500 pounds, or more
than POI. zoe tons.
This diminsHive piece OF machinery
has been knownsto keep up this work
without single stop for more than
100 years.
It pulsates 400 times an hour, 1907
500 times day. 36,792.000 times a
year. It has nos journals or bearings
to oil, no bolts to tighten or Stacks
to be taken up. 1t Is SO constructed
that it's parts are automatically re-
paired as it goes along. But, with all
of this, there Is one very serious
characteristic inseparably connected
with this pump, which is that once it
stops it cannot be started up again,
unless immediate steps be taken to
do so by an expert. Even this gem
orally fails. So the owner should use
care and Judgment In its upkeep.
There is no other machinery that we
have any knowledge of of which the
above can be said. How this is all
accomplished is known only to it's
inventor
This pump is the human heart.

MRS. BAYLY IN LOVE
SOCIETY GIRL ADJuDGED INSANE
GIVES INTERVIEW.
Reporters Evade Guards When Colonel
Fabyan Leaves Estate-Bride Says
She Isn't Crazy.

Chicago, July 8.-The three weeks
bride of Roger Bayiy-Helen Morton
Bayly-gave an interview during the
day Elaborate precautions had been
taken, since the judicial finding that
Mrs. Bayly is mentally deranged, to
protect her from the ordeal of an in
terview, but she did not want the pro-
lection. She wanted to tell cher side"
of the story, and she welcomed the op-
portunity.
please don't say I'm crazy" she
pleaded. 81 don't want that to be said,
because it isn't true. If l am crazy, SO
is every one in the world I'm only in
love-
Mrs. Bayly formerly known as "the
life of the gay set" at Lake Forest,
Onwentsia and other meeting places Of
fashion, was resting quietly on the
beautiful estate Of her legal observa-
tor" and friend, Col. George Fabyan
of Geneva. 1t was there that she grant
ed the interview. 1t was suggested
that she might wish to explain. If she
could, the insanity proceedings that
had been taken against her.
But can't explain-how could r."
she said. st is for the others to ex-
plain. In love? Yes. Crazy? Noun
less to be in love is evidence of crazi-

ried bride-and it was a love mar
riage."
The colonel himself, and Roger Bay
ly, the husband of the insane young
woman, had busy day On their way
downtown in the morning they were
snap-shotted by a newspaper photog
rapher and Colonel Fabyan, anxious to
evade publicity as much as he could
under the unpleasant circumstances,
stopped to destroy the offending
photographers camera
For the double purpose Of prevent
ing Mrs. Bayly from making an "es-
cape" from the estate-as she escaped
from her mothers Lake Forest home
some weeks ago-and of preventing in
trusion upon the estate, an deliberately
organized guard was established. It
was said there were 80 men in the
garrison"
Mrs. Bayly was much amused by
the precautions. Reporters rowed
across the river and approached the
house. Mrs. Bayiy-traitor to her I'M
welcome guardians-stood in a Sc
cluded spot and signaled to the in
vaders.
Really, I'm all right-and not at all

Minimum Wage Act Passed
by Legislature Became
Effective on July 1.
MANUFACTURERS ARE WARNED

The minimum wage law, passed by
the last legislature, went into effect the
first Of the month. Notices to that eff
feet have been sent to large manufact-
urlng establishments. During the past
year it has been optional with the in
dustrial commission as to whether it
should investigate conditions in GER
tain industries. But beginning today
the commission is supposed to act on
any complaint submitted to it.
During the last few years much has
been said in regard to vice conditions
being dependent to a certain extent on
the wages paid to women and it was
to help better these conditions that the
Wisconsin legislature passed a law pro-
viding that living wages should be
paid to women and minors in every
employment.
Any person thinking that a living
wage is not paid to women or minors in
certain employment may file com
plant with the industrial commission
at Madison and within twenty days
the commission must investigate and
determine whether such is the case or
not. If it is found that the wage paid
IS not living one, then the commits
sion appoints an advisory board repre-
senting employers, employees and the
general public, who determine with>the
commission what is a living wage of
that employment. This decision must
be adhered to by the employers of that
class of labor. A penalty is imposed
for a noncompliance with the findings
of this advisory board and the com
mission.
Special licenses are issued to those
women nor minors whom the board finds
are unable to earn the living wage and
these may work for the sum mentioned
in the license but not for less and the
license shall be applicable to but one
person, the licensee.
All minors working in an occupation
for which living wage has not been
established, but which is not a trade
industry, shall attend the continuation
school five hours week the same as
permit pupils between the ages of
| fourteen and sixteen
AS in the case of indentured appren-
tices and permit pupils the enforcement
of the law is in the hands Of the indus
trial commission at Madison.

The time is approaching when it will
be impossible for the city to find any
plot of ground that can be used as a
public dump within easy access of the
city and some way will have to be
found to dispose Of the garbage, either
by incineration or by some chemical re-
duction process The conditions in the
vicinity of any public dumping ground
these hot and sultry days may better
be imagined than described and no one
can blame the people in the neighbor-
hood of one of these dumps FOR ex-
hausting every power the law gives
them to prevent it's use. 1t is possible
that the dumps are so looked after that
they are not menace to the health of
the neighborhood, but who wants to
live in an atmosphere OF disinfectants 2
The truth is that in this matter of gar
bage disposal, as in many Others, the
city has grown out Of the country town
stage and that modern methods will
have to be adopted here. And the mat
ter should not be gone at in a hap
hazard FASHION. 1t will be cheaper in
the long run even if it costs a little
more in the beginning, and certainly
more satisfactory in every other way.

When one notes the performances of
the speed maniacs, both motorcyclists
and automobilists and the total disre-
gard Of even the ordinary rules of safe
driving shown by them on the streets
of the city every day and every night,
the wonder is not that so few arc hurt,
but that anybody escapes being run
down. The mania for speeding seems
to develop at quite regular intervals
and just now many of the drivers seem
to have particularly acute attack Of
the disease and all records for speeds
attained on the streets of the city as
shown on the records of the police
court have been broken. Fines having
proven of little effect in slowing up the
driving the municipal judge has an
nounced his intention of seeing what
the revocation of licenses in addition
to fines will have. After that will
probably come few Jail sentences
without the alternative of a fine for
second offenses. One thing is certain
and that is that any measures which it
may be necessary to take will be APP
proved by public sentiment. Too many
people have had narrow escapes from
being run down themselves and too
many fear for the safety Of their child
rem to waste any sympathy on any one
convicted of this ofense 1t may be
that the police do not always catch the
worst offenders and everybody knows
Of drivers who habitually violate the
law and never get caught, but that does
not mitigate the offense of those who
are caught. If these reckless drivers
endangered no lives but their own they
might be permitted to go their own way
unchecked and take their own chances
but the unfortunate part of most of
the accidents resulting from fast driv-
ing is that the ones responsible for
them generally escape unhurt.
