Low WAGES CAUSE CRIME.
Captains of Industry Should Share
Profits With Workers

Chief Justice Franklin Russell Of the
court of special sessions, New York,
told the New Jersey State Federation
Of Womens Clubs, in convention at
Atlantic City. ~ j.. that the way to
lessen crime was for employers to In
crease wages Most criminals. he said,
We're mental detectives, and it had
been his experience that the first step
was generally taken because of low
wages and Il desire to dress well and
maintain a higher level than they could
afford
Juvenile crime he contended. should
be punished from the viewpoint Of
mental detection, as 1t was matter
for pathologists and sociologists to deal
with rather than the courts. In his
opinion, when employers realized the
justice of raising wages there would
be a marked falling off in the number
Of juvenile and other forms of crime.
Jonathan Day. head of the New York
Labor temple. seconded what Justice
Russell said.

THE BETTER MAN.
Story of Two Aspirants For Place on
the Boat Crew.

A few seasons ago, says a prominent
crew coach In Outing. two men were
competing closely for a seat in the
varsity" boat. One day | called them
together and said:
Just now you two men are working
equally 'gefi In the boat, but one has a
better scholarship standing than the
other, and to me that seems to indicate
that one of you has little more per
sonal pride than the other.
AS matter of fact, the man who
was not up to the scratch in his work
was bit the better OF the two as far
as smoothness in the boat was con
cerned l thought the incident might
cause him to pick up in his classes. 1t
did not. When the time came to make
a final selection of the eight | again
called the pair in to see me.
ITS still hard to decide between you
two. would Just as soon have you
throw a coin to decide the winner"
said
The man with the poor scholarship
record was the first to speak.
That's all right with me-" he said.
The other man thought for u minute.
saw his mouth go tight Then he
said:
mo, sir; that doesn't suit me- One Of
US must be the best man. | want to
know which and to know why l am not
the best man."
Some people would probably have
thought that fellow conceited but not
II they knew what it means for a
youngster to put in months and months
of hard training for a crew The sec
ond man was of quiet type, but after
he spoke | knew the thing that every
coach is most anxious to find out-that
he was the kind who would be pulling
hardest when his lungs were feeling
like bursting in that last hard half
mile. You can guess which man got
the place. The man who did not was
too easily satisfied

FACIAL PLASTER CASTS.
Having One of Them Made Is a Mighty
Disaureeabc Process.

Perhaps nothing can be imagined
more disagreeabe than the process of
taking a plaster impression OF the fea-
lures.
The person whose face is to be
"taken' is placed tat upon his back.
his hair smoothed back with pomatum
to prevent it covering any part of the
face, and conical piece of paper, a
straw or a quill put in each nostril to
breathe through. The eyes and mouth
are then closed, and the entire face
completely and carefully covered with
salad oil
The plaster, mixed to a proper con-
sistency, is then poured over the fea-
lures to the thickness of quarter
or one-half inch
In three or four minutes this plaster
can be taken off as if 1t were film,
but they are very long minutes. The
victim must not sneeZe. smile. cough
or otherwise move a muscle, or the
whole process will have to be repeated.
When a cast of the entire head or of
the whole human figure is required,
either cast of the face is added TO a
mass of clay which is to be modelled to
the entire figure, or the whole figure
is modelled from drawings prepared for
the purpose. This is the work of the
sculptor
When the clay model is finished
mould is made from it. A thin ridge
of clay is laid along the figure from the
head to the base. and the front is first
completed up to the ridge by filling up
the depressions two or three inches
deep.
The ridge of clay is now removed,
the edges of the plaster are oiled, and
the other half is done in a similar way.
The two halves are then tied together
with cords, and the plaster poured in.
In complicated figures, like the Laoc-
oon. the statue Is oiled and covered
with gelatin. which is cut off in sec
tions by means of thin, sharp knife,
each piece serving as a mold for its
own part of the new statue.-St. Louis

If you should be 80 unfortunate as to

quite certain what sort of a snake 1t

only two punctures 1T is probable you

snake may have had opportunity to
make only two incisions with his four
biting teeth, it is best to take no
chances at all.
The poisonous snake has but two
deadly fangs, generally in the upper
Jaw. But. no matter what sort of a
snake bites you, the head of that snake
should wherever possible be kept for
identification. If, as is generally the
case, the bite is on an extremity, tie

LAWS FOR NEW YORK
PROPOSED BY LABOR
Asks For Old Age and Unen-
pIOym0nt Insurance.

Representatives of the New York
State Federation of Labor and twenty
five labor organizations not directly
affiliated with the federation have
formulated a long list of demands for
constitutional amendments in the in
terest of labor These have been sub
mitted to the committee on industrial
relations of the constitutional conven-
ton by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation. Here is
summary of the demands:
That there be embodied in the revised
constitution provision under which
the operation of the writ Of habeas
corpus cannot be suspended at any
time or under any circumstances and
an absolute prohibition against estab-
fishing military rule until conditions
shall have rendered the sitting of
courts Of justice impracticable.
That there be in the revised constitu-
ton q prohibition against the creation

ployment of private officers to main
tain the peace and provision under
which militia can be called only

governor as commander In chief of the
National guard.
That there be embodied in Article /,
commonly known as the bill of rights,
section defining the rights of labor
substantially in accord with the spirit
of the Clayton law enacted by con
gress

plicitly that there shall be no abridge-
ment of the right or power OF the leg
islature to enact laws for the protec-
tion of the health. safety and comfort
of Industrial workers
That the constitution shall make it in
cumbent on the legislature to provide
for the Inauguration Of an old age in
surance system and insurance against
unemployment.
That the state fund be made the sole
agency for compensation insurance, in
accord with the demand made by the
labor organizations at the time the
compensation law was enacted, doing
away with self insurance, insurance
through mutual companies or through
casualty companies.
That the labor commission aud the
compensation commission shall be sep
arate departments and that the COM
missioners shall be protected against
arbitrary removal through executive or
legislative act by making them consti-
tutional officers.

That the delegates to constitutional
conventions shah be chosen at separate
elections held in the spring for that
purpose only.
That the new constitution shall pro-

If paper upon which erasures Of

the vapor of iodine the roughened sur
face takes a different tint from that

made, only the ink or pencil lead be-

SHORT UNIT COURSES.
New Method of Increasing Skill of
WAGE Farmers.


Short Unit Courses For Wage Earn
ers and Factory School Experiment
is the title of bulletin No 159, just
issued by the bureau Of labor statistics
Of the department Of labor. The best
method of assisting persons who are
already wage earners so as to increase
their skill. earning power and oppor
tunities for advancement has long been
a problem with educators and employ
ers as well as with wage earners them
selves. The short unit course is de-
signed for effectively solving this prob
lem for certain groups of workers.
The short unit course is an intensive
form Of instruction in a limited num-
ber of lessons. which is intended to
serve a specific need OF particular
group. Each course deals with one
part Of the trade and is complete in
itself. The courses include only what
has been found to be of practical value
in the trade. The material selected is
taught by a practical teacher, with
reference to its adaptability to the
trade needs Of the particular group.
BY eliminating all unnecessary prepara-
tory work the courses economic the
time of the pupil.
A common weakness of the courses
frequently offered for wage earners is
that they are laid out to cover three
or four years. and only few pupils
remain In school long enough to com
plete the course. The short unit course
meets the difficulty by dealing with one
specific thing in each course and by
making the unit so small that the pupil
will be able to complete it within the
time the school can probably hold
him. If the unit course is laid out for
ten lessons the pupil who remains dur
ing the course gets all the school has
TO offer on a specific topic. By offer
Ing a series OF short unit courses on
the same subject experience goes to
show that when one course is complet-
ed the pupil is likely to return for the
next one and thus actually remains in
the school longer than he would II the
same work were laid out in the form
Of a continuous course.
