LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
dial Endorsement TO the daylight
Saving Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading centers OF
industry indicate that the operation OF
the summertime act Is. among other
results. having the effect OF increasing
the output in shipyards and engineer
Ing works. says the London Times. On
the northeast coast some OF the yards
have been able To arrange additional
spells Of daylight overtime. and in
other establishments there has been
an increase I'm output owing To the fact
that there are in the aggregate n large
number of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid OF
artificial light and with lessened
sense of fatigue.
II statistics can be kept which will
enable comparisons to- be instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum-
mer and the corresponding period of
last year 1t Is believed that the COM
parison will be ali TO the advantage OF
the present year.
Additional evidence OF the benefit Of
the act from the industrial standpoint
NRAhN' AtVAA II btti
stated i'm the official organ of the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen that the
alteration of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an improvement In the work
ing of long-distance hight goods trains.
1t has been found that the extra hour
of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded in less time,
and there is general feeling in rail-
way circles that tn, summertime act
should come iato permanent operation,
rs ii would enable the work of railway
goods yards to be conducted with
greater rapidity and safety.
y POINT which seems to appeal to the
ncn who are ON an eight-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn of duty to
which they are assigned, they either
begin or finish work I'm daylight. This
may seem 10 be small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that it has
caused comment among large body
of workers reveals an unexpected di-
rection In which putting working hours
in advance of solar time has proved
beneficial.

PUT UNITED STATES FIRST

1t is absurd to talk about any COM

They have absolutely nothing in com

forefathers have lived for centuries.
With Mexico they have no more ties
than with any other foreign country.
save that they speak the same Ian
guage. The fact that the native peo-
pie have furnished three companies of
the National Guard at the border and
that the Spanish-American company in
Santa Fee went off with larger initial
number of recruits than any other
company in the state ought To be suf-
ficient answer to these intimatioas.
A well-knOwn wool grower declared
that in the lambing season, when

ployed, he never uses old Mexico labor
for the reason that the poems are lazy

Opalized Woods of Montana.

While people everywhere have
heard of the wonderful petrified for
ests of Arizona, few of them are aware
of the existence of another petrified
forest in Montana of equal extent.
The latter is held to be much more re-
markable in many ways than the Ari-
IONA forests.
The petrified forests in the South
west are chiefly extraordinary by rea-
son of the fact that entire trees have

gone transformation into agate. The
Montana forest is more extraordinary
because the trees have been changed
into opal, instead of agate, thus max

TRAINING FOR YOUNG ESKIMO
United States Government Doing Good
Work in the Northwestern Dis
tricts Of Alaska.

When fat little Eskimo wanders
out of his fathers igloo these days
he isn't allowed To pass his time with
the child reindeers nor I'm the free and
philosophical contemplation OF seals
and penguins.
Instead Uncle Sam grabs him and
puts him to school. The bureau of
education OF the department of the
interior maintains public schools for
the Eskimos Of the northwestern dis
tricts of Alaska.
School republics and school gardens
are established by the government.
There are cooking classes. classes in
carpentry and the usual elementary
school instruction.
The psychology of reindeers. how
best To rear. guard and train them.
also is a part Of the government in
struction. Boys who are specializing
along this line are apprenticed as
helpers with the government reindeer
herd for four years.
Walter G. Shields. superintendent of
the work of the bureau OF education,
tells i'm the Eskimo. publication is
sued at Nome, Alaska, by the teach
ers of the Eskimo schools, how closely
the school instruction fits into the
needs of the Eskimo villages:
"The school republic becomes the
village council, the school garden Is
soon the village garden, the cooking
class becomes the bread-baking class
for the village. the bench work of the
boys class becomes the boat and sled
building center for the village, and,
most remarkable of all, the apprentice
reindeer herder becomes the trained
herder, the supporter of his family
and future leader of his people"

General carranza Puts Ban on Bull.
fights In the Southern
Republic.

General Carranza has acted for the
betterment of Mexico by issuing a de-
cree abolishing bullfighting. long re-
garded as the national sport of Mexico.
The decree states the government Is
under obligations TO stamp out Gus
toms which are opposed to culture.
and to aid civilization by elevating the
moral level of the people. Ii de-
nounces bullfights as needlessly en-
dangering the lives of men. torturing
beasts, provoking sanguipary senti-
ments and disgracing the country.
Then what commentary on the
poor of Mexico follows Immediately
after the ,nunciation of bullfighting
the decree adds that bullfights cause
misery TO the poor. who, for mo-
ment's enjoyment. go without the nee
eSsaries of life. This, remarks the FL
Paso (Tex.) Herald. is an admission
that the masses of Mexico are willing
to deprive themselves of food and
clothing TO enjoy something which is
II disgrace TO the country.
This recalls a statement aScribed 10
the late President Diaz, who. when
asked once whom the people of Mexico
would elect for president if allowed an
unrestricted exercise of the ballot. is
said TO have replied: 'Bombito, the
bullfighter."
There may have been some truth in
the alleged interview or it may be
wholly fictitious. If at all true. it IL
illustrates the hold which the so-called
sport has had upon some Mexicans,
especially the lower classes.

MUCH LOCAL INTEREST IN THE
100000 FIRE AT WASHING
TON SUNDAY.

Brunswickians who are continually
using the Southern railway. will be
interesting in knowing that their gen
eral offices at Washington were burn
ed Sunday night. The following dis
patch comes from the capital city:
The general headquarters building
of the Southern Railway company waS
swept by fire of unknown origin Sun
day night. Many important records
were lost, but officials said the most
valuable were saved by fireproof
safes on the lower floors. The none
tary loss was estimated at 100000.
The blaze started on the third floor
and had swept the three stories above
before il was discovered. Three tele-
graph operators and a Waterman, the
only persons in the building at the
time, escaped unhurt
Much of the work of the Southern's
train dispatchers was done from the
general offices. This was interrupted
when the operators had to flee from
their post, but emergency arrange
ments were made Immediately for
handling the situation.
The building was a brick and stone
structure of six stories on Pennsyl-
vania avenue near the municipal build
ing. A steel annex is in course of
construction.

with Berea. The past OF Berea
was discussed by Miss Hart who
