Fitting the Punishment.

That was wise judge III Lynn, Mass,
ing stones ana hurting others and who
sentenced him to throw u thousand
stones at mark The lad thought the
sentence a great joke, and, under the
supervision or a policeman, started on
his task with light heart and in a
spirit Of fun. But at the hundredth
stone he began to see the seriousness OF
stone-throwing, and when halfway
through his punishment he begged for
its remittance He was barely able to
toss pebbles in the direction of the mark
at the 900th tally, and would have quit
the gravel pit where the sentence was
carried out but for the cries of his
comrades. who were on hand, of course,

aged to throw his thousandth stone, i'll
an exhausted condition, and now de-
clares that he is cured forever of stone
throwing His arm is in bandages.

Pistol Deaths.

A census report just issued conveys
the startling information that during
the year 1915 firearms caused more
deaths than railroad accidents. more
than five times as many as. street ear
accidents, nearly as many as railroad
and street car accidents combined, and
more than twice as many as automobile
accidents. During the year deaths from
firearms in the registration area num-
bered 1894 of which 3.60S were suicides,
2Ss5 were homicides and ,j01 were ac-
cidental. or of doubtful cause. A shock
ing feature of this showing is the fact
that the suicidal use of firearms has in
creased steadily in recent years
These figures should be taken into
consideration by the Commissioners in
framing their annual report, with the
view of recommending the immediate
enactment of law regulating effective
ly the sale of deadly weapons in this
District. Washington has probably its
proportionate share of the number of
frearm deaths But whether in pro-
portion to the total number or not. too
many lives are sacrificed in this city
through the careless or deliberate use
OF pistols. which can be obtained with
out the least difficulty and at small cost
The only effective way to regulate the
sale of pistols is TO prohibit any per-
son selling. exchanging or giving away
a weapon of this character save upon
the presentation of a form of permit
issued by some designated court or po-
lice official Until such law has been
enacted and put into effect the waste of
life by the use of pistols in this Dis
trict will continue to swell the shocking
returns of the census office This sub
iect is well enough understood to be
taken in hand Immediately. and strong
recommendation by the Commissioners
should go to Congress for action at the
coming session.

$40 or over per week. On the other
hand 1t was found that the "trimme rs"
received high wage and they can be
| entirely self-supporting.
The weekly wage of trimmers ranged
from $40 to s25. the majority receiving
between $12 and $50. While it was
found that the average trimmer does
not receive more than $40 per week.
those possessing superior ability may
| earn as high as s35 or even $50 week.
The investigation brought out the
fact that those workers employed in
retail establishments received higher
wage than those in wholesale establish
ments. The opportunity for advance
ment. it was found. does not appear to
be very encouraging. since it is shown
that only one maker in six or seven has
a chance to rise to the artistic division
that of the trimmers-where the
wages received during the busy season
are sufficient to tide a worker over the
dull season without aid from other
sources.
The educational standards of MILL
merry workers We're found to be above
the average. although the educational
requirements of the trade are not high
In one city it was found that 1873 per
cent and in another 24.8 per cent were
graduated from the grammar schools
1t is urged as a result of this study
that trade schools for learning mlli-
merry should be established. The APP
premiership system was found rather
bad. although the majority of the
workers seem to have graduated from
that system Employers also object
to this system. first because the ap-
prentices use the time of valuable
workers in teaching: second. because
they waste costly material and third
because more than frequently by the

Utilizing the
Tomato Waste.

of the most Interesting features is the
utilization of the waste products.
In no important branch of the cam
ming industry in this country has there
been a more marked necessity of
awakening to the danger of foreign
competition than in the canned tomato
industry.
Italy is producing annually an increas-
ing quantity of canned tomatoes, and
the European market draws its supply
largely from that country. In addition
South America takes nearly 100000
pounds annually. it was found. and the
United States itself imported over 90
900, 900 pounds in 1913 from Italy. The
total exports of canned tomatoes from
italy in 1913 We're valued at $6.316.3S4.
Twenty years ago the tomato played
only small part in the daily food of
European nations. but today the canned
tomato is used everywhere, especially
in England. which has been getting a
large proportion of its supply from
Italy.
The utilization of waste products by
converting the skins and seeds into
useful articles helps to pay what in
this country is an expense. The prob
lem OF disposing of the skins and other
waste material in American factories
calls for much consideration, it has
Ueen especially IN We" OF the
more acute realization of the necessity
of maintaining sanitary conditions
around modern factories.
The waste products of Italian fac
tories the experts found consist only
of skins and seeds. The variety of to-
mato grown in Italy and used for the
manufacture of the various sorts of
canned tomatoes has practically no
core.
This, therefore, makes the problem as
n
ming establishments. The solution of
what disposition should be made of
these waste products came first in the
Parma district in the north of Italy A
company with various drying plants in
Italy near the factories in these can
ming centers has made successful prog
ress in this direction since 1908, when
it began the study of the utilization
of waste skins of tomatoes by manu-
feed 1t also expressed the oil from
the seeds
All OF the waste skins and seeds are
sent from the factories to centrally
located drying plants, the price paid
averaging from $045 to sO7e per
100 pounds for wet skins as thew come
from the separat tors. 1t is necessary to
collect such wet residue promptly and
to run it through the drying anna ra tins
occur u'ithin forty eight hours. The fac
tories are saving the price of taking the
skins away from the factories for sani-
tary purposes and in addition are
being paid for it. They are therefore
making more money than our American
factories that are not utilizing all of
this waste.

state OF Wisconsin.
The movement in that state for the
establishment of schools having for
their special object the preparation of
teachers for country schools began in
the early ninetfes.
The county training schools do not
follow uniform course of study A
course is proposed by the local author
tiles and submitted to the state super
lntendent. There are, in general two
courses. Those who are graduates of
high schools or who have had sufficient
preparation are usually able to COM
plete the work in one year and take
what is known as the one-year course.
Others who have not had sufficient
preparation spend two years at the
school In some instances the stu
dents are unable to finish the work in
Two years. During these courses, of
course. country school conditions are
kept constantly in mind.
Every school gives at least twenty
weeks to the study Of agriculture and
some give as much as a year Nature
study is emphasized throughout the
course. Many of the schools give do
nestle science and manual training
The chief purpose of this work is ia
