TURN OUT MILLIONS or PIPES
Manufacturers In the United States
Supply a Very Large Part Of
the Worlds Demand.

Over 20.00o000 pipes are manufac-
tured annually in the United States.
The wooden pipe is probably more
distinctly national than any which
finds its way into the market. Rang.
ing IN between the aristocratic meer.
schaum and the plebeian clay, 1t is
rarely expensive, while at the same
time its manufacture calls into exist
ence a considerable industry. The
roots OF the mountain laurel and rho
dodendron are most generally used for
pipe making. they being selected for
the purpose on account of their du-
rabiIity, hardness and the light polish
which they are capable OF taking. They
are found throughout the southern
states generally--the best material is
said to come from North Carolina and
is sent to the market IN large pieces,
which vary I'm size from that of .
mans fist to the dimensions OF a good
sized keg. The material costs from
$40 to $50 per ton, the price depend
ing upon the quality of the wood. In ad-
ditlon TO the domestic material used
in pipe making, immense quantities of
brier root blocks are shipped into this
country annually from southern
France and Italy Scientific Amer

HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must ee Trained TO Follow
Called-For Motions Along
Certain Path.

Those who think a habit is just
something you that Is, is
purely a mental proposition, are mis-.
taken Habit is q question Of mechan-
les as much as the smooth drawing
of a piston rod.
Habit is the action of nerve mo-
tions along a beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
a nerve moves because it cannot help
it. and so on until the process is
complete, and the thing we call habit
is done
There are as many of these paths
in the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which one
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path of the action is
travelled over.
The first time the action is per-
formed the nerve centers do not awak-
ell their successors readily. For
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs q
great many nerve centers is hard TO
learn, because the path must be worn
the nerve centers trained to act in
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit is formed. The second call upon
them is easier than the first, the third
easier than the second, etc.

MIR. CLAUDE ASKS QUESTIONS.
Replies TO DR.. G Superintendent
Of County Schools.
lCnmmunicated.l


Editor Evening Capital:
In reply to DR.. Samuel Gamers gen.
eral denial of responsibility for the
condition of affairs existing in our
public schools, Iwould like to ask our
Superintendent few questions.
~ Do not one-half of the teachers
in the rural schools enter the service
By way of the county examinations,
which are conducted by the County
superintendent?
~ Were you not the expert adviser
OF the County School Board on all mat
ters of educational policy, professional
fitness of teachers. and organizer Of
county school system generally?
~ Were you not selected principally
as Superintendent because of your sup
posed fitness for the Office on account
at your being trained educator ,famil-
lar with modern ideas as TO curriculum
method and supervision
ca Have you not commanded the re-
spect of the County Board
go Have you not held Office long
enough to have developed an educa-
tional program
t6l Have you not the MINIMUM at
least. of clerical and professional as
sistance in the management of your
Office
Cd Are not teachers certificates, in
the first instance probationary. good
for only six months. at the end of this
period cannot the county superinteh
lent cancel the certificates and require
another examination.
80 Does not this discretion of the
county superintendent in respect to IN
.e-examination of teachers thus give
hin the power to insist upon further
professional preparation
(9) Did you ever try to enforce the
provisions of minimum salary law Of
1910, guaranteed to teachers
(t0) Is it not also true, that where
ever county superintendent have used
their legitimate authority the effect has
ben excellent upon the County School
System.
