Shortage in Matches Grows.

Local Newspapers a for some weeks
been commenting upon the shortage OF
matches in general and upon the total
absence of certain varieties of which large
quantities are sold. in normal times. In
northern and central parts Of France the
so-called Swedish match has been very
scarce for months, although there has apss
paTently been a sufficient quantity OF
sulphur matches. Supplies of wax matches

adopted to cover this deficit. while at the
same time a new law introduced the SAT-
nrday half holiday in the match factories,
Involving a decrease of about one-tenth in
the output. The outbreak of the war,
however, prevented the carrying out Of
and the introduction of new machines. In

Trapeze Nets For Steel Workers.

From the New York Post.
Totprotect the men who erect the steel
used instead of the usual, flooring. The
building laws of practically every state
require that. the contractor install a plank
floor for each story as the structural
work progresses, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly for July. In building audi
forums, arch trusses in theaters, towers,
bridges and in special cases, 1t has some
times been impossible to- comply with the
law, for plank floors could not be erected.
Hence nets of rope were adopted as the
most practicable measure of safety.
The nets are made of manila rope and
are provided with loops on the borders SO
that they can be readily attached to the
iron work. In Chicago they have been
used for about a year. At least two lives
have been saved with them.

Prospects of tire Daylight Bill
From the Bache Review.

From the cache Review.
The author of the daylight saving bill
In the Senate, Senator Calder. IS quoted
by the New York Atneric8a as express
ing the opinion that the measure is bound
to become a law during the present ses-
sion of congress, ard believes that a
strong sentiment both IN and out of con-
gress. is behind the bill, notwithstanding
the opposition which has developed in the
House. He says: .'The plan of saving
daylight by waking the country up one
hour before its usual hour of rising, IS
one of the greatest conservation ineas-
ures that has been proposed in connection
with tie war. Senator SeWfarlis. CHAIR
man of the Senate committee which has
recommended the bill for passage, says
this is a war measure of prime Importance
and that it will be placed before the SEN
ate at the earliest opportunity.
The beautiful summer weather which
has just begun, even though a month or
more in time has been lost for this PLAN.
Is ar argument in its favor. and the plan
could be put into operation Immediately.
!. To introduce the plan, all that would
happen is this: On a certain night when
going to bed, people would put their clocks
an hour ahead. The next morning thew
would get up at the same time by the
clock, go to breakfast, business, luncbeon.
dinner, all at the usual time; and he
only observable difference would be that
they would have spent shooter time in
bed. in the morning, by an hour, and they
would have an extra hour of daylight to
spend usefully. incidentally they would
turn on the artificial light an hour later
IN the evening, and save so much on their
bills for gas or current.
People who might object to being robbed
OF an hour in bed on the night the plan
was started, could draw comfort from
the reflection tina on the night the plan
was reversed in the late summer, they
would nave an extra hour for sleep.
Opposition to the daylight saving pro-
3ect can only proceed from lack of under
standing of the subject.
Persons who have been used to hear the
whistle blow at u O'clock noon scent
calamity should the same, occur al II
o'clock; they cannot get it into their heads
that under the plan the whistle would
still blow at II o'clock, and that in reality

Austrian Government Recognizes
Jewish Marriages.

The Austrian law demands that
any marriages to be valid must be
entered in the civil courts and there
by legalized. Thousands of Jewish
marriages, especially in Galicia,
have been performed by rabbis, who
took no notice of the requirements
of the law. The problem came up
when the many widows of Jewish
soldiers came to ask for the pensions
that the government allows them.
Many of these who were asked to
produce evidence of their legal mar
riages could not do so, because they
were never married in accordance
with the requirements of the State
law. The present decree declares all
marriages performed by Jewish min
listers as legal and the widows Of
such marriages as entitled to the
pensions due to them.

several young men suggested 10 ner
as good prospective husbands for

this now, all would be over so far
as he was concerned, thought the
Schnitzes. Romantic young men
are not in the habit of signing for
the possession of young ladies whose
lives have been placed upon the
market like SO many sacks of flour.
Moreover, if Joel even but

surely suspect the truth. Shlayma

The young man, on the contrary,

recovered himself.

staring fercely at Joel. Don't you
know I got you engaged to number
thirty-seven And now I see you
come by number sixteen in the
house! Is that fine way to act?'
Joel's face had turned white. The
others looked on in CONSERVATION as
Shlayma thrust his hand beneath the

drew forth a book.

he was the first of the party to re-
