BEST CLAY FOR BRICKMAKING
Wealth That Is Found Upon the
Shores of the Hudson River in
New York.

Magnificent and inspiring as the
scenery is along the towering banks
Of the lordly Hudson. il isn't any
where near as much of mOneymaker
as the lowly bricks which are made
along the shores OF that favored
stream. In the ten years past some
1880. 10000 bricks, valued at $780,
407,25S, have been fashioned out of the
clay close to the waters edge, the
New York World states. These bricks
II laid fiat, would make a sidewalk
that would reach around the world.
And il is estimated that there is still
enough clay left on the banks of the
Hudson to make 1.200,000.000 bricks
a year for the next so years.
The stratum OF clay extends along
both sides of the Hudson from New
York TO Cohoes, above Troy, and takes
In ten counties. one OF them in New
Jersey. 1t is the greatest brickmak
ing district in all the world. For a
century the industry has thrived. and,
strangely enough, the method of man
ufacture has changed hardly any in
the lapse Of these years.
II was in 1917 when the industry be-
gan to thrive. James Woods. an Eng
lishman. had learned the trade Of
brickmaking in his native land and
was attracted to Haverstraw, up the
west bank of the river a few miles
from New York The vast quantities
of fine brick clay there and the abun-
dance of wood for fuel appealed to
him. and he started the first success
full brickyard in Rockland county. To
Woods is given the credit for discov-
ering that road dust made fine ingre-
dient for good bricks. He also in
vented tempering, mixing and molding
machines, and these, but little modi-
fled, are used even in these times of
new appliances for all forms of the
industry.

SEVERE TESTS FOR WATCHES
Those Intended for Use in the BRITISH
Navy Have to Be Absolutely
Perfect in Make.

Only the best made chronometer
would ever survive the tests watches
are made to undergo at the Royal OBJ
servatory in Greenwich. England.
Usually there are always about two
hundred watches under examination
at the observatory for use in the Brit
ish navy. On certain occasions there
Is complete trial of chronometers
open to all makers who have sufficient
confidence in their watches being able
to withstand the severity OF the tests
During the competition the watches
are exposed to every possible varia
tton Of temperature. They are baked
in furnaces sufficiently hot to cook q

In fact, so great is the heat that q
badly made watch has been known to
tumble to pieces during the baking
test. The moment q watch Is taken
out of the oven 1t is plunged into mix.

To such perfection has the manufac.

TIPPING IS ANCIENT HABIT
Subject Of Much Criticism Even
at That Early Time.

II the efforts that are now being
made by the London Hairdressers' as
sociation for the abolition of tipping
meet with success, there will be much
iubilation among the many long-suffer-
ing victims Of the system, and no doubt
who have profited by its continuance,
says the Dundee Advertiser.
The habit Of giving gratuities would
appear to be a very old one, for as far
back as 1855 it prevailed. At that date
we find a worthy man bitterly COM
planning of the tips expected by all
and sundry when putting up a horse
at an inn. Over and above the ordi-
nary bill he must give a shilling to
the waiter, to the chambermaid six
pence, to the hostler sixpence, and six
pence to the bootjack, making two
shillings and sixpence in all. The next
morning at breakfast it was necessary
to give sixpence between the waiter
and the hostler. That was for one
nights stay only. But il the traveller
merely put up for refreshment, be-
sides paying boy to mind the horses,
the hostler expected threepence. at din
ner the waiter looked for sixpence and
the hostler again made threepence; at
tea, waiter and hostler shared sixpence.
Thus the oldtime traveller gave away
two shillings and sixpence a day in
tips, which, added to the two shillings
and sixpence overnight. made a total
of five shillings a day.

Molasses In War.

There seems no connection between
a piece of gingerbread and a 13-inch
she'll, and yet there is. The name OF
this affinity is "molasses." Just old.
time "blackstrap," which is some
times seen in the lumber camps. The
demand for alcohol for use in making
explosives is so heavy that manufac.
turers have looked around for some.
thing cheaper than corn. They found
it in Louisiana blackstrap, and that
sticky. slow-fowing commodity now
goes into the makeup of one of the
most tremendous energies in the
world. 1t has proved such a success
that its price is now aboNt four times
what 1t was .wo years ago.

Good Joke on Mean Man.

who was noted for his stingy and

as he left the mill he happened to
meet a doctor. So, thinking he could
get some medical advice for nothing
he stopped the doctor and said he wa.

the medical man.
In my chest, doctor"
All, that's bad. Please close you,
eyes. That's right. Now put out YOU
tongue, so that can examine It close

Dick did as he was told. After he
had waited for about ten minutes he
opened his eyes to find an amused
crowd Of factory people round him

Sprinkler Has Wheels.

An ingenious professor in a western
university has combined a lawn sprin.
kler with dismantled lawn mower in
such way that one can move the
sprinkler about the lawn while it is
running, without getting wet, says
Popular Mechanics. The long crossbar
OF the sprinkler was clamped to the
bottom OF the mower after the blades
had been removed. In place of the or.
binary handle a long pole was at.
tached to the transformed mower.
which reached well outside the range
OF the running water. This permits
one to i1ove the device about tn. lawn

PARROT is VERSATILE BIRD
Excels other Representatives of Feath-
cred Tribe in Many Ways Besides
Initiating Human Voice.

II appears that it is not only In
Initiating human speech that the par
rot excels most of the birds. 1t is
alone among birds in taking food IN
its claws. With these two character
istics il makes more or less use OF
that which distinguishes humanity
from the rest of the animal kingdom
the hand and the larynx.
The monkey uses It's hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animals have habit Of paving their
food. Rodents have serviceable toes.
Still. the parrot is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard. The secretary
bird is said to attack reptiles with
it's claws. and some observers have
said that owls make partial use OF
their remarkably flexible perching-toe
somewhat more than does hen in
scratching for foos However, there
is no other bird which, when present
ed with a piece OF food. will accept it
in its claws.
Parrots do not, of course, talk, as
the word is used, in their wild state,
and are not known to be initiative OF
neighboring sounds, nor to possess
the repertory of the mockingbird. 1t
is, therefore, a question whether or
not their use of the claws is largely
initiative also. The shape of the par
rot's beak would indicate that some
assistance in eating has always been
a part of the birds characteristics.
Like man. the parrot makes its ap-
pearance in the world naked and
helpless.

idence in this city. She has written
several stories for popular maya

WILSON'S RECORD TO Be
FEATURED IN PLATFORM
To Be Adopted At St. Louis
President Completes Pre-.
liminary Draft.

Washington, June 9.-The out
come of the Administrations efforts
to keep the United States out of wal
and at the same time maintain the
national honor will be the founda.
ton of the foreign affairs plank and
one of the emphasized points in the
platform to be adopted by the DEM
ocratic National Convention at st.
Louis. according to authoritative in
formation obtained from Admins
tration sources. Since the renom-
nation of President Wilson and Vice
President Marshall is regarded as
assured, the platform now is receiv-
ing the chief attention of Democratic
leaders.
AS result of conferences with
members of his Cabinet and other
advisers President Wilson, who per-
sonally began work several days ago
on a platform to be submitted to the
convention by party leaders, virtu
ally has completed a preliminary
draft, leaving only details to be fin
ished after the Republican and Pro-
gressive conventions at Chicago. The
President utilized as a basis for this
work features of the Missouri State
Democratic platform, which was pre-
pared under the direction of the
White House.
The Mexican situation will be re-
ferred to, it is said, by praise of the
refusal to allow the ma
ton to be drawn into the internal
strife raging in Mexico. and of his
prompt action in ordering troops
across the border after the Column
bus massacre.
Another section is expected to
aud the Administration for main
aiming the Monroe Doctrine and
fostering a fair dealing with the 9TH
n republics of the Western hemis-
,here, resulting in the building up
If trade with those nations.
Finally, it is understood, the for
ign affairs plank will align the par
y behind the President placing
America first" with reference to all
questions, both international and do
nestle.
The tariff is expected to be the
ubject of an important plank, the
platform coupling the Underwood
evision with the currency law and
,ther constructive legislation OF the
'ast four years. in prosperity dec
aration. President Wilson's pre-
'aredness program will occupy an
ther prominent place in the plat
orm.
