AMERICAN MACHINISTS

New York, Sept. 30.-at least $50
American machinists engaged in all
parts of the country are leaving New
York each week to WORK in the n1un:-
tion plants of the European belliger-
ents, according to information obtain.
ed at the Offices If the International
Association of Machinists here. The
competition Of Great Britain and Rus
STA in employing American machin-
lists is said to have driven the wages
of such mechanics to the highest
point yet known. 1t was learned at
the British consulate that the call for
these workers did not come from the
government direct but from an agent
who has agreed to provide skilled me-
chanics for the private munition
plants of Great Britain.
English works, it was stated today,
are paying from So to IS a week to
mechanics who can make special ma
chimes and are paying literally for ov.
ertime. American manufacturers OF
war munitions for the allies are said
to be paying as higl as 81 or s. q day

When Iceland Went Dry.

The first European parliament to en-
force teetotalism was that Of Iceland,
where a law was passed two years ago
prohibiting the importation or sale OF
intoxicating liquors. One effect OF this
measure was 10 deprive the foreign
consuls at Reykjavi!l of their drink, so
they protested to the governor point
ing out that such a deprivation constl'
tuted an infringement Of the rights OF
diplomacy. Permission was thereupon
granted the consuls to import beer,
wine and spirits, provided these fluids
are consumed only on the premises 10
which they are consigned. Moreover,
the total amount imported by each
consul must not exceed 500 liters in
a year, and the quantity required must
be imported in one consignment. Only
the representatives of France and
Norway benefit by this concession,
The other consuls are unpaid, and, be
ing natives of Iceland, were expressly
excluded from lis !t1oGts.

COMFORT FOR STRICKEN CIR
Is Hoped May Be Carried
Out In the Future.

The "dock of concentration" at
Antwerp was, by the action of the
oity authorities just prior to the
declaration of war. to have been q
reality in 1916. The plan, conceived
ten years ago, is to concentrate at one
great dock all the grain barges which
serve as warehouses, and the floating
elevators which furnish the business
to Antwerp's 800 grain houses.
These elevators, with eight new ones
voted last year, are IL in number and
are owned by the municipality. They
are pneumatic with a lift of 100 feet
and one cares for cargo of 5000
tons in about three days which for
merly detained vessel there for IA
days when hand labor was employed.
While hostilities may perhaps set the
work back another decade, hope may
be derived by Antwerp and other
stricken cities by remembering how
calamity often has most stimulat-
ing effect upon industry-as in such
notable cases as San Francisco, Bal
timore, etc.-Scientifc American.

HOW SMITH GOT BACK.

Senator Charles T. Townsend of
Michigan smiled when reference was
made to solnnambulism. He said he
was reminded of a story along that
line.
A man named Jones was talking
to his friend Brown one night, when
the latter casually mentioned Smith,
mutual acquaintance.
Makes me think Of an experience
Smith had a few weeks ago." laughed
Jones. 'Hc dreamed that he was an
Indian, and getting out of bed, he
wrapped blanket around himself
and started to walk through the
woods. Woke up about three hours
later and found himself ten miles
from home and no car fare in sight,
''You don't. mean it," was the
amazed rcjoinder of Brown. GLOW
in the world did he get back"
"That was easy was the cheerful
reply of Jones. "He lay down under
tree, dreamed that he was an IN
dian again and walked back. >

BEAR BIGGER THAN GRIZZLY
Bones of Cave Animal Found In La
Brea Fields In California Amaze
Scientists.

Frank S. Daggett, director of the
museum of history, science and art
at Exposition park, Los Angeles,
announced that La Brea fields,
where discoveries of the remains of
prehistoric life have startled the
scientific world, are not exhausted,
as reported several months ago.
Daggett reported that the COM
plete remains of cave bear have
been discovered in one of the most
recent excavations. The animal in
life was more than one-third larger
than the largest grizzly bear of the
present day, and the specimen when
mounted will rank with the mounted
skeletons of the imperial elephant
and the ancient human discovered
months ago.
According to Daggett the cave
bear just found became buried in
the asphalt pits of La Brea fields
quarter of a million years ago.

THAT may be-, says she, still dis
tinct, but if you like I'll send Herbert
down to show you the red swellings on
his head!
HE probably got them falling
downstairs or something | told her.
And I'd thank him not to be accusing
my Ronald Of things he's too well
brought up to do!
She wouldn't let Herbert come
down to play with Ronald after that
and Ronald gets so lonesome. So told
him he must return good for evil and
that he could take his wood carving
and 20 up there In an hour he came
home crying as though his heart
would break. He said Mrs. Scuddle had
told him to go home and he hadn't
been doing thing! Just as | was tell
ing him he must learn that there were
all kinds of wicked people in the world
that woman called Gown the back
stairs. She said she Lad sent Ronald
home because after he had carved
shavings all over her parlor that she
had just swept up and cut hole in her
oriental rug, he had turned his atten-
ton to carving the posts on her ma
hosany bed.
and just this morning-that crea-
ture actually laid hands on my child!
She boxed his ears and Ronalds al
ways so tenderly cared for at home!
Boxed my child's ears! She dragged
him down and brought him into my
kitchen and told ME to keep him at
home and said that when she went to
take in her milk and cream she found
him just finishing drinking it, and that
he had broken off every nasturtium
plant in her flower boxes! Ronald ex-
planned that he was playing babes in
the woods starving to death, living on
herbs and goats milk.
'I said: Mrs. Scuddle, hope your
conscience won't torment you toe
much for your cruelty to an innocent
child!'
"And she just sniffed! l shook for
an hour after! 1 certainly wonder why
some people are born into this world!
Oh, get off here!"-Chicago Daily
