One Washington mother had scare
this week. Her child was brought back
from Camp Good VIII after two weeks
there as the guest of the summer out
ings committee.
"why, you've mixed the babies she
exclaimed. Where is mine?'
A second glance reassured her. The
romping. healthy. ruddy-cheeked young
ster was the same as the pale. wan.
anaemic child that had been taken out
there fortnight before.
The second party Of tired mothers and
their children were taken out this week.
Among those who volunteered to carry
them out in their automobiles were Mrs.

Bureau Of Education Reports
on Growth and Extension
Since 1908.

"Of the making OF many books there
Is no end" said one wise man, and the
statement is confirmed by the United
states Bureau of Education. More than
2o.ooo.oo0 volumes were added to Libraries
In the United states since 1908 and that
is only small part of the total number
OF books printed in that time. But It is
more than one-fourth Of the aggregate
book population Of the Libraries Of
the United States.
The much mooted point Of the cul-
tural center of the United States also
has been settled. Boston may claim
what it likes. but the reading area of
this country extends over the North At
lantic and Central States. More than
four-ffths of the borrowers cards in
use were issued in that section.
Neither are Libraries any longer liter
ary cold-storage warehpuses. The re-
port shows that books now are used
widely in community service. and to

, serves. by the by. TO make unionism
additionally impossible.
There used to be big money for the
workers who handled iron and steel.
There is still fairly good money TO
be made by a very few of them. But
for IS years the cutting OF wages has
been going on. until today in many
cases the best workers make less than
half OF what they used to earn. II
has been figured out that every nun
dred workers in the steel mills and
blast furnaces includes so men who
make less than so day. and only two
who make more than 50 in the same
time The average daily wage or Al
iegheny county's 5000 blast-furnace
men were found 10 be below $3.50 in
1907. In October of that year the en-
tire force of I2-hour men in the open
hearth department OF the Homestead
steel Works was averaging 1915 a
day The highest paid skilled workers
IN some OF the most important
branches OF the steel industry are in
capable OF earning more than 1915
day.
The main thing asked of the work
ers is speed. or, maybe one ought to
say. speed without waste. To the
achievement of this result everything
is adapted, but, above all, the wage
schedules. The underlying idea OF the
whole system is to get more out OF a
man by paying him less. Its funda-
mental rule is that If the man drives
the machine he Is paid by the piece;
II the machine drives him he is paid
for time. a trick constantly praciced
IS to urge the workers into exceeding
their previous capacity for the purpose
Of earning more and then to adapt the
wage rate to the new record In order
that they may work still harder 10 re-
tain their old earnings. This has prov
ed one of the most effective means OF
increasing the output.
Among the 5000 men employed in
the three largest plants of the United
States steel Corporation in 1907 there
were 100 men working only eight
hours a day. Among the steel
and iron workers the 12-hour day is
practically law now. so that, for in

Wharton told Honeydieu that be

some questions about the location
when Honeydieu swung around a cor.

Mrs. Wharton expressed n desire 20
