Industrial Department Explained.

A resident worker had quite group
around her this afternoon as she ex-
planned the industrial department of
Neighborhood House and told of the
work there.
Twelve years ago." she said, this
department was started by Mrs. Hem
mick, whose keen interest and gener-
osity have never Jagged. ]. p. S. Ne
ligh is the director, and it has been his
ideal and accomplishment to teach the
neighborhood people how to make
beautiful things by hand. Not only
sewing, discriminating and other fasci-
mating handcraft arts. but also car
pentry has been taught The demand
most made upon this branch of the
work is for looms which are sent to
for the pupils of our weaving depart
know that the Swedish looms made at
Neighborhood House are of the best.
The weaving department is most
interesting, and the rugs and table COW
ers, the bags and linens that are hand
woven are attractive and conscien-
tiously done. The weaving was first
taught here by Miss Ellen Sundholm,
S0 edish artist and a graduate of the
Handcraft School in Stockholm, and
the work is now carried on most capa-
bly, by one of her pupils. who has under
her alw avs one and oftentimes more
girls learning this kind of handwork.
In this day of the return to the old
fashioned the weaving department is
found to be working overtime to fill
its orders.

Girls Trade Branch.

Another interesting division of the
Industrial department is the girls trade
school, where girls who have just left
the public schools are taught to cook,
sew and weave. This experiment has
been under the special care of the trade
school committee of the Washington
branch of the Association of Collegiate
Alumnae and it is due to their untiring
effort and support that it's maintenance
has been possible. The girls are given
personal supervision, their different ca
pabilities noted and the most made of
them. For instance, if, after a fair
trial in all departments, a girl is found
to be most proficient in sewing she is
given special training in that branch
of the work. During last year satisfac-
tory positions were found for fifteen
pupils, whose only needed recommends
ton was that they received their
training at Neighborhood House.
ut is the maintenance of this de-
partment that enables the settlement
to take and fill such large orders as
the making of the dresses for the grad
uating class of a private school for
girls, and also the entire costuming OF
one of Pavlowa's ballets.
For the girls who are still attending
school, but who desire to learn to sew
we have the Saturday morning sewing
school. which has 1913 members. These
girls are taught to sew by hand. prac-
teal articles of clothing which they
may take home when finished.

High Standard Maintained.

THE standard of work here, as in all
work at Neighborhood House, is very
high, and woe be unto the girl whose
stitches are uneven or whose line Is
wobbiy! Last year one of the trustees
offered a sum of money to each girl
who would make a baby dress all by
hand during the summer vacation.
Twenty-three girls responded to this
offer. and the work on the dresses made
the director and teachers feel justly
proud, because they were all made
without any supervision. One of the
most practical things taught in the in
dustrial department is the hand dye
ing"
Tomorrow night the Woman's Club of
Neighborhood House will hold a cele-
bration. to be followed Wednesday
night by fifteenth anniversary cele-
bration by the girls of the Peace Club
of the institution. Every night there
will be celebration at the settlement.

This state has suffered a consider.
able loss of cattle this fall from what
is commonly known as 'cornstalk dis
ease The loss has nearly always
been in cattle that were turned in the
stalk field. The symptoms of the dis.
ease are rarely observed, it being us.
ual to find one or more animals dead
in the field. These animals were in an.
parently perfect health, when seen by
their owner but a short time before.
Some authorities believe that losses
from cornstalk disease are due to the
development of a small quantity of a
very violent poison in the animals
stalks are being digested. Other al.
thorities believe that all so called
cornstalk poisoning is in reality due
to the bacteria causing hemorragic
septicemia. Some of the losses NAV
also be due to black leg or anthrax.
both Of which are unusually prevalent
in various parts of the state this fall.
and always cause death.
"A microscopic examination of blood
from the dead animal will often re.
veal the presence of the bacteria re.
sponsible for the loss. Should death
be due to the poison already described,
no bacteria can be found. A chemical
analysis of the cornstalks is useless be-
cause the poison is not developed be-
fore digestion begins. A chemical
analysis Of the contents of the diges-
tive tract requires considerable time.
and rarely yields satisfactory results.
when sudden death occurs in a
herd Of cattle that has been turned
into a field OF cornstalks, a competent
veterinarian should be called to deter
mine the cause Of death. Should it
be due TO hemorragic septicemia, black
leg, or anthrax, vaccination is the only
satisfactOr method for the prevention
of further losses. Should the veterin-
arlan be unable TO make a positive
diagnosis, a microscopic examination
of the blood may settle the question.
The veterinary department of South
Dakota State College will gladly make
such examination free of charge.
Blood or other tissues intended for
examination should be mailed
direct 10 this department. Should no
bacteria be found and when death IS
due TO cornstalk poisoning, the only
means of prevention is to keep cattle
out of cornstalk fields"

DUAL TAXATION

Washington, d. c., December 20, the
National Grange in its 50th Annual
Session recently held in this city
adopted the following resolution on
taxation: I'VE recommend to all sub.
ordinate oranges the study of the
Dual Tax and Assessment System as
an Equitable Method Of Collecting
Public Revenue. as explained by the
Author, II. o. Richards. of Huron,
South Dakota"
The dual tax differs from the single
tax advocated by Henry George" in
that it standardizes the assessment OF
land and does away with annual asses
sors and equalization board for pro
tracted periods, and provides for a
small. uniform income tax on profits
in addition to a tax on land.
1t allows all land owners to deduct
SCI Of the assessed value OF any tract
of land from the income OF such LAND
before paying an income tax upon the
profit from such particular tract OF
land. 1t exempts all kinds OF improve
ments and personal property from di
rect taxation. 1t provides no exemp
tons of land or income tax. It makes
the income tax a lien on land and bust
ness; and provides penalty for failure
to report or pay the income tax by pro
vision that no suit will be permitted Z
enforce any claim or demand OF an,
kind in any Of the courts OF the STATE
where such a claim or demand hal
been omitted from schedule reported
to be made under the income tar law
1t also applies the registration laws II
every way as q penalty. as well as th'
use OF publicity. to make the incom'
tax assessment and collection as Ger
tain as the land tax. The income tn,
is limited to ten mills.
