JOY FOR THE SCRUB WOMAN

The latest recruit to the ranks of
electric labor-saving devices is a scrub
bing machine. 1t weighs about 100
pounds and is entirely self-contained,
with the single exception that it takes
its current from any convenient socket.
The machine vets. sweeps, scrubs

forward and guides it. He controls
the amount Of water distributed on the
floor by means of a handle. This wa

lindrical brush which is 16 inches wide
and has a circumference of 20 inches.
This brush is driven by a one-fourth
horsepower motor at a speed of 600
revolutions per minute. r
The brush does the actual scrubbing
ana carries all of the dirt and soiled
water over an apron into separate

Rough for the sl.eker..

For some time the boys in khaki
have been recruiting from the hurri.
cane deck of half dozen Fifth avenue
buses. which take up positions along
the curb of the white light section,
says New York exchange. They have
been doing good work and have gained
quite few recruits. but at times their
tactics border on the rough-neck way
Of doing things. For instance, the
other night the recruiting buses were
stationed at points where the crowds
pass. and to the young men who went
by. they shouted, aren't you ashamed
OF yourself not to be in uniform ?" '.That
girl isn't decent II she walks with a
Stacker like you;" There's another
who Is robbing his country" and other
similar remarks. The intent is to
shame the man into enlisting at once.
That this Is doing harm is evidenced
by the attitude Of the lookers-on. sew
eral comments Of whom left little doubt
that those who were insulted would be
kept away from recruiting.

WHY WE SHOULD CONSERVE

We hear much talk about food con.
servation but how few compared to
the many can realize the condition
Of the world as regards food sup
piies7
Tabulated government figures show
that Canada and the United States
on wheat alone have a shortage Of
$50, ,o00, 900 bushels to supply the A.
lies needs. 1t is estimated that we
alone can increase our export of
wheat by 10000, 900 bushels II we
would use more corn meal and save
the flour to the extent Of one pound
per week.
The exports Of wheat to Europe
from Argentina and other southern
republics, have greatly fallen off on
account of the submarine warfare
that makes its shipment too hazard
Gus an undertaking.. Millions of tons
Of wheat have been sunk in the last
cry busheI SO sunk adds to the short
age as we'll as cost.
America is now building a vast
fleet Of transport vessels to accom-
modate and supply our vast increas-
Ing army in Europe, but the most Of
these vessels will not be ready for
service before next spring and then
be under the heavy expense of con-
voy, unless ingenuity can conceive Of
a way to destroy the submarine.
The question of the duration of the
war depends largely upon our being
able to supply the Allies with food
and supplies, the bIocading of ports
supplying the enemy, and although
the expense attending the transpor-
tation of all supplies may be heavy,
the sinking Of a transport loaded
with millions of bushels of wheat
shortens our surplus to that extent.
The more food we can conserve
and send to the Allies, who are now
winning victories, will lessen dangers
OF our foreign army and hasten the
overthrow Of Prussian rule. Therefore
II behooves US that each and every
one, be they high or low, rich or
poor, to conserve the food supply,
that this barbarous ard heretofore
unknown mode Of warfare may be
brought to close.

ITALIAN A FAITHFUL ToILER
Does. Not Drop His Shovel as Other
laborers Do When the Whistle

There Is much lower percentage
Of criminality, immortality and insanity
among the Italians than among many
other immigrant races, Willard Price
writes In the World Outlook. AS for
dependency, statistics for represent.
ative year showed that out of every

there was only one in fhe almshouse
on Blackwell's island. James Forbes,
chief OF the mendicant department of
the Y. 0. s.. says he has never seen or
heard OF an italian tramp. There are
practically no drunkards among the
Italians.
The immigrant from Italy proves to
be a faithful and cheerful worker.
When a contractor engaged in building
a city sewer wns asked why he had
only Italians in his employ he replied
Because they are the best workmen,
and there are enough of them. II an

Will be three minutes getting to the
Job, and three minutes each for $50

The Italians are Industrious. good
natured, very affectionate toward chill
dren, courteous and polite often to the
point of dishonesty, generous and self
sacrificing. But the impulse of these
excellent qualities is offset by the
Italians dense ignorance, which sem
tences him to spend the rest of his life
after he reaches America in the drudg-
cry of unskilled labor.
