Marks
ARE WEIGHED
New Equipment at Bureau Of
WEIGHTS and Measures Very
Accurate.

CHARLESTON, July 31.-A consign-
ment of the standard equipment for
the state bureau of weights and meas
ures to be maintained in connection
with the department of labor under
the direction of Commissioner j. H.
Nightingale has arrived in the city
from Washington and is being put up
in the room arranged for 1t at the
south end of the corridor on the sec
ond floor of the state house
This equipment, before being sent
to Charleston from the New York fac
tory, was put through the test of the
government standards at Washin gton
to be sure of it's absolute conformity
to established weights and measures.
All the apparatus to be used by the
inspector in going over the state will
be tested at frequent intervals by the
state standards
A duplication of the equipment
placed here has been sent to the uni
versity at Morgantown and will be
used for the same purpose for the
northern part of the state. The test
for weights is said to be so correct
and so minutely adjusted that 1t is
sensitive to the infnitesimal weight
of a pencil mark on a piece OF paper.
"Of course, we don't expect to spend
any time weighing pencil marks,
Commissioner Nightingale hastened to
assure his auditors when he explained
the possibilities of the machine, "but
we are gong to see that every pair
OF scales in West Virginia is approx
imately correct, and we will be just
as careful in the inspection of meas
ures of other kinds"

EXPOSITION HAS AN
EFFICIENCY EXPERT
Employee of San Diego Fair
Can Tell Exact Length of
Lead Pencils Life.

SAN DIEGO, July 31.-The San
Diego exposition has an ehclency ex-
pert. He's one of those eXacting and
highly technical individuals who can
tell you the life of a lead pencil and
declares if a stenographer could take
dictation with one hand and transcrioe
it with the other at the same time the
much "per capita per second"
Now this fellow is off on another
tack and he has Just concluded one OF
his Scientific Investigations. He has
figured out what the exposition loses
every time a parade passes through
the ground This efficiency expert
has Just Informed the exposition d.
rectors that the big Elks parade cost
1913 on one point alone. He also hg-
ured out that the parade Of the Amer
lean Beauty girls cost $9.47.
.You see,'' says the efficiency man
every time parade passes the ad-
ministration building on the grounds
the stenographers leave their work to
see it. They were all out for the
Elks. Stenographers get so much per
day Their wages are SO much Der

minutes in passing. A dozen stem
ographers watched it and the total
cost-its easy to figure-was just
1888. AS for the men. Why they
watched the American Beauty parade
and used up just $9.47 of the expo
sition's time in doing so. This must
stop"
So thoroughly has this expert
searched into the realms of efficiency
that he now proposes that the gard

that the pigeons In the Plaza de Pan

Daily SkirmisheS.
Far away from telegraphs and tel

misfes. They never break into the

sheeplike Chinese are rounded up
sometimes while the agents attempt

Desperadoes with automobile cargoes
of opium match their motors against
the ponies OF the inspectors and again
the bullets drone. Battles have been
fought in the desert mountains and
in the alkaline beds OF dried up
oceans. Occasionally someone is
killed or batch of prisoners cap
tured. But the censorship of lonely
wastes devoid of telegraph or tele-
phone proves stronger bar to news
than the censorship of Europe.
The war is directed from Los An

ALASKAN TIMBER
WILL Be
USED
In Construction of Government
Railroad From Seward to
the Pacific.
WA SHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July 31.The
Alaskan engineering commission,
which is to build the government
railroad from Seward on the Pacific
All miles to Fairbanks in the In
terror, has received a permit from
the forest service to cut eighty-nVe
million feet of timber in the Chug-
ach national forest for use in con-
structing the new line. The permit
was issued by the district forester at
Portland, Ore, who has direct super
vision of the Alaskan forests, and is
in conformity with the act of March
4, last, which authorized the Secre-
tary OF agriculture to permit the
Alaskan engineering commission and
the navy department to take from
the national forests free of charge
earth, stone, and tim Der for use in
government works. The timber will
be cut in designated areas along the
right-of-way of the proposed rail-
road, which runs through the Chug-
ach national forest for several miles.
Experiments and tests of Alaskan
spruce and hemlock are being made
at the forest service laboratory at
Seattle, Washington, and SO far have
substantiated the opinion OF fores-
tiers that Alaskan timber is sufti-
GENTLY strong for practically all
structural purposes. While these
tests are going on forest service em-
ployees in Alaska are marking the
timber to be cut along the proposed
railroad, the cutting to be done SO
that only mature trees are taken, the
young trees being left uninjured and
the condition OF tho forest improved.
This cut of etghty-fve million feet
will be the largest amount OF TIM
Der ever fe1led on the Alaskan for
ests In one operation, and at the
average rate per thousand board
feet obtained for timber sold from
Chugach forest during the fiscal
year, 1914, 1t is worth approximately
$145,OOO on the stump. It will be
nearly twice as much as the total
quantity of national forest timber
now cut and used annually for local
purposes throughout Alaska. but only
a little more than one-tenth Of the
estimated annual growth Of the
Alaskan forests. The two national
forests of Alaska contain about sew
enty-eight billion feet OF merchant
able timber and it is estimated by
the forest service that more than
500 million feet could be cut every
year forever without lessening the
forests productivity.

STEEL HELMETS ARE
USEFUL PROTECTION
They Save Large Number Of
Men from Being Killed or
Wounded.

DJNKIRK. France, July S1.-Steel
helmets have now been in use suft1c-
iently long in the French army to
prove that they are a useful protec-
ton to infantrymen. They have saved
large number of men in the front
trenches from being either wounded
or killed by shrapnel fire and have
effectively warded OF the side strike
or rife bullets.
The soldiers are enthusiastic about
their use, and the delay anticipated
in turning them out is partly over
come by the fact that they are only
used IN the firing line and supporting
trenches.
1t is officially stated that the thin
chrome steel helmets cost less than
seven cents each.
