Girls Better Workers


Adaptability is the munition girls
middle name. In one factory | saw a
long row Of machines turning slowly
around, each with its load of meat pies
and other lunches brought from home
being warmed up in anticipation of the
dinner hour.
There is difference of opinion
among the managers as 70 the muni-
tionette's part in the labor troubles
which are stirring in England just now.
One official told me that most of the
unrest in his factory was started by
the girls. but another came perhaps
nearer the actual facts when he pointed
out that many Of the girls refused to
work under the same conditions which
the men put up with in pre-war days.
With the exception Of the very heaviest
part of the work. the girls have proved
equal, if not superior, TO he men labor
ers. At the more delicate tasks and
those requiring constant application
they are turning out better work than
their predecessors.
Whenever possible the workers are
paid by the piece instead of by the
hour. With the girls this works out to
the advantage Of both parties. They
turn out more work and at the same
time earn more money per week than
any Of the men employed on the same
job.
The reason given for this is rather
more practical han psychological.
Whatever most of the girls earn they
can spend on themselves buy a piece
of jewelry or a new hst--while the men
generally figure on having 10 turn their
pay envelope over y their families any
how, and consequently aren't as en-
thusiastic about earning the extra
money.
At another works they specialize in
cartridges. The process Of turning out
these little .303's for the British armies
in France and PISS for the Russians is
so easy to follow that even a layman
comes away with a pretty clear impress
sion Of just how it's done.
/ Cartridge Made in Five Hours
/ Five raw materials brass, nickel,
/ lead, cordite and illuminate Of mercury
go in at one door and come out COM
bined into a messenger Of death, after
fifteen distinct processes, without a
stop. The brass for the cartridge case
is rolled into long, fiat strips, and
passes under q machine which punches
out each case IN the shape or nall n
marble followed out. These little hol-
low semispheres are passed rapidly
from one machine TO another, each of
which draws it out, making it little
longer and a little nearer its final
shape. The nickel which covers the
lead bullet undergoes the same process.
The lead is melted into huge cylinders
and forced out by hydraulic pressure
+ into long ribbons, chopped off and
snapped inside its nickel case and
fastened to the end of the finished
brass case. which has been filed by an
other machine with the long strips of
cordite The last step is fastening the
fulmNate of mercury cap into the end
and the whole process takes less than
five hours.
Before the war this factory had a
contract with the government for T.
100000 cartridges a year. During the
Boer War, under pressure, they reached
the enormous output Of 100000 a
week. To-day they are turning out %,
100000 a week, and constantly increas-
ing the output.

met and complied with this spring.
Elko people are well aware of the
conditions and they also are very de-
sirous of securing all the Jarbidge
trade which they can and for this
purpose they have picked out a route
down the river to the state line and
then west to Rowland and thence via
Gold Creek and North Fork to ElkO,
which will give an ideal auto road in
the summer and will probably be a fair
freight road during the winter. Twin
Falls and Bull are both interested
in the matter of better road connec-
tons with Jarbidge and it is almost
an assured thing that there will be
considerable road work done by them
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. The Elko county commission
ers. it is understood are all ready to
advertise for bids for the work on their
proposed new road There will be very
large amount of heavy freight into
Jarbidge this summer and the best
road will secure the most of the bust
ness for the, city with which it makes
connection. The thousands of feet of
development work which has been
done in the mines of the district dur
ing the past year has brought into
sight millions in value of a good
grade of milling ore. which has great
ly stimulated the interest of the in
vesting public in the mines and pros
poets of the Jarbidge camp, and it is
more than a conjecture that there
will be much more work done tie
coming year than has been done in
the past twelve months. Besides the

Iorrens Title System
Bill Passesthe Senate

The senate Of the South Dakota leg
islature has passed what Is known a.
the Torrens titles system bill-a meas
ure which is patterned after the
Minnesota law and one which obyiates
the necessity of securing abstracts OF
title with each transfer Of real estate.
This is a proposition that has been
pending in various states for some
years. having been adopted with
slight notifications in several states.
The measure provides that all land
titles shall be passed upon BY duly
constituted authorities and that in fu-
ture transfers the title shall be vest
ed in the state and from the state be
transferred to the purchaser. When
again transferred. the state guarantees
title, the title acquired by the state
in the first place having been assured
beyond peradventure. and thereafter
the state gives title with each trans
fer, thus doing away with the expens.

If adopted in South Dakota, the bust

SUNDAYS GREATEST REVIVAL
REcEkTY CLOSED in RoNsTon

After each of Rev. Billy Sundays
trail-hitting revivals it has been said
that THIS was his most successful
EFFORT, and those who didn't like Billy
Sundays ways of hitting at the devil
eagerly conveyed the opinion that this
picturesque and interesting evangelist

But there always followed a greater
and more successful campaign.
when Billy Sunday left Philadelphia
it was said that he never could preach
to mere or gain more converts in any
eastern city than marked his weeks of
service there.
To show them what unwise proph-
cts they were the Rev. Billy went to
