Less Time, More Work.

A very large printing plant doing
practically every line of printing, de-
cided several years ago to change from
O ten-hour day to one of eight hours.
AS competition in most Of their work
was very keen, the change could not
be made unless costs could at least
be kept from increasing. The situation
was studied for many months, and as
leaks and wastes were found, meas
ures to stop them were put in effect.
problems of power, light, heat, humid
ity, handling Of materials, etc., were
studied and conditions improved. AIDE
quate methods Of planning and dis
patching the work were installed, with
the result that delivery dates were
met and idleness in>the plant reduced
to a minimum. Finally, the eight-hOur
day was ~inaugurated amid great re-
joicing on the part of the employees.
In fact, the good feeling engendered
was so deep rooted that it is still very
much alive in the plant. The COM
pany also has every eason to re-
Joice, as costs were materially re-
duced and profits we're increased.
This is shown by the fact that the
stock has greatly increased in price
due to the higher dividends paid

The use Of artificial silk made direct

are several methods Of manufacture,
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic Tye to form a ~viscose, which
is allowed to age for some time. It
is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by a
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo

Masking the Guns.

Against aircraft observation one of
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns, limbers, and ammunition wag-
ons with different neutral tints, so that
they will blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, etc., that
are erected OF dug r strewn with
leaves and branches, and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen-eyed airmen.
A battery of guns is seldom placed
along the skyline, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in
cline in front of the skyline, unless the
guns are hOwitzers, in which case they
can be best served from behind the
ridge. The idea of placing the guns
in front of the ridge is that the rising
ground behind them serves as an eff.
fective screen, as the guns themselves
are painted to represent earth and TO.

And you'll stopped to Little Childhood,

And made him drop that heartache and

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something %
Say About the Disposition or
Their Product.

A farmer possessed a few swarrns
of bees which he kept in what are
! called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold ABOUT
two or three pounds of honey each, an
exchange says. About eight OF
were placed on the top of the hive, and
as at least one side of each box was OF
glass, the keeper could easily look
n the hive and see when the boxes
were filed with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early in the morning, before the bees
came out to begin the labors of the
day, or at night when they had I'M
ished them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, n
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and rs they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take it out in the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood a few
rods from the house, and on that side
Of the house were large doors lead

were partly of glass, the bottom of
each was made of little Stats, SO that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much, SO that the
cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been dark.
The bees e so excited, and en-
ragged that they few in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way. When 'suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. EARLY the next morning
the farmer looked out Of the dining
o window and observed hat the
air was still full Of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not a bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filed only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with q will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

ENTRANeED BY GYPSY MUSIC
Traveller in the Balkans Tells of Won
derfuI Strains That Affected
Both Man and Horse.

People will tell you in the Balkans
that a gypsy camp is to be avoided;
yet l used to hail them with pleasure.
They added to the wildness and saw
agery of the nature about us. One
day, several miles from Uskup, u
horses raised their heads and listened
to something we could not hear. AT
first we thought they were smelling
human blood; but we came to the
conclusion that something different
caused their interest, since no tremors
of fear were passing through them.
Refining them in, we listened, but
hearing nothing, started to ride on.
After a while a sound like a faint
moaning of a torrent came to us. The
effect on our horses was very pecu-
liar; they seemed to have forgotten
their fatigue, and were siding along
in a way that made me
Finally we made out that it was
weird strains of music that reached us.
I'VE are nearing a gypsy camp"
my brother said with relief. Some
one is playing with more fire than
usual"
Within sight of the camp, the music
came to us in its full beauty or its
full horror, l do not know which.
Since then / have heard many great
masters play; but such music as that
| have never heard. It was heavenly;
it was hellish. Our horses were as
much affected as we; they pranced as
If they were 'steeds of great mettle,
instead of poor, scrawny Balkan
ponies. AS for me, 1 began to dream
Of things unheard, unknown, only
dreamable.
Sitting on q wagon, a youth was
hanging over his VIOLIN playing
playing like mad. Presently, with
out interrupting his music, he sprang
from the wagon and paced back and
forth, still playing torrentially. We
sat fascinated both by the player and
his playing, trying~all the time to quiet
our horses.
At last the music seemed spent;
the boy let his violin fall to the
ground, where he, too, threw himself,
and the music was succeeded by
heart-breaking sobbing. His weeping,
like his music, was as torrential~as a
storm. Like it, it ceased when 1t had
reached it's climax.-Century Maya

The Turpentine Workers.

In the Carolinas, whence most OF
the turpentine Is derived, tracts of tur-
pentine land are called Orchards !"
Early in the year, before the "juice" of
the pine is ready to exude, the trees
are boxed" The boxes are not as
the term would seem to signify. an
pendages attached to the outside of
the tree, but are cuplike cavities cut
into the trunks about a foot from the
ground. They measure from ten Tn
fourteen inches across, and are four
inches in width and seven in depth
Each OF them is presumed to hold a
quart. Usually there are two and
sometimes even three or four such
boxes to each tree. The life Of the
pine, as of other trees, is drawn from
the soil through the bark; hence it is
necessary always to leave an uncut
strip OF the bark between the boxes
The number Of the boxes depends
therefore. upon the size of the tree and
the width Of the Intervening strins.

The ceremony took the public a bit
by surprise. The president was q
widower Of about a year and half's
duration, and he was much older than
his bride, who was Miss Julia Gardi-
ner of New York. The wedding took
place in the Church of the Ascension
on Fifth avenue, New York, and a
small reception followed at the home
Of the brides family in Lafayette
place. It was a June wedding and it
concluded with a pageant; the presi-
dent and his bride made a tour Of the
harbor, where many of the war vessels
were anchored.-Vogue.

comes direct from the Supreme

"stood in the midst of alarms, the

poise, of executive capacity, univer.

specific charge is that President
Wilson recalled Ambassador Her,
