In order to save labor and costs the
dairymen of London have pooled their
custom and divided the city in districts.
As a result Of the plan dairymen give
up some customers to others and in
turn take customers from others to
avoid penet rating the assigned dis
ricts- The scheme has worked out to
the entire satisfaction of every one.
British butchers once solicited busi-
ness. Now they beg people to stay
away from their shops owing to the
meat shortage. After closing his shop

A majority of the. jute used in sand
bags before trenches on the western
front is furnished by Indian mills.
Albert Balm. the brains of the Ger
man mercantile marine and the only
Jew ever invited by the kaiser to sup
with him, has no sympathy with the
lea and Americans. He recently said:
Our people have little or no knowl-
edge of the American character. What
stuff our publicists and journalists
their greed, their envy of other ma
lions, their lack of discipline, 1 know
that the Americans probably are the
most idealistic people on the earth's
surface"

SHIP CARPENTERS
ISSUE IS Up AGAIN
Situation An Eastern Yards
Waiting on Request to
President Wilson.

The situation in eastern shipxards as
it affects the woodworking trades to-
day awaited the outcome of another
request to President Wilson that the
carpenters be given representation on
the wage-adjustment committee in
shipbuilding disputes.
"a second appeal will be made to the
President" William l.. Hutcheson,
president of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, declared last night
after his proposal had failed to meet
the approval of the Navy, the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation and the metal
trades unions. IF he does nothing. then
we are through and it is up to the gov
eminent to keep the men in line.
Does It Mean a Striker
In answer to a question Hutcheson
said he did not know whether this
would mean strike of ship carpenters,
but said:
"They struck last time and only re-
turned TO work in response TO the Presi-
dents appeal, in the belief that the
matter would be adjusted TO their sat
isfa ction-"
jourred without agreement or arrange
ment for continuance of negotiations.
Hutchinson asked modification of the ex-
listing agreement between the metal
trades and the Fleet Corporation to
provide in addition to the general labor
representative, a representative of the
carpenters to deal with woodworking
questions.
Plan Unworkable, Gompers Says.
Manager Piez of the Fleet Corpora
ton declined to consent to the cha, ge
without approval OF the metal trades.
and these unions in a statement made
by Samuel Gompers took the position
that the carpenters proposition was
unavoidable"
Hutcheson said there were $4,000 idle
who could be put to work
building ships if the work was avail
able. He indicated some of these men
would find work in Canada by an
that John ]. MCGEE of New
York has been offered the post of di-
rector of shipbuilding in Canada by
the imperial munitions board. which
asked him to furnish 5000 woodwork
ers and 5000 iron ship builders.
Mr.. MCGEE has asked and received
permission to accept the offer" he add
ed. land the men he wants doubtless
will be glad to get the work.

One of the most amusing tricks in
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick,
where little pellet when lighted turns
into horrible snake, many, many
times the size of the pellet. How awe
inspiring it is to the youngsters! Most
people have no idea what in the world
causes the snake TO appear. The ex-
planation is simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with volumnous ash.
The little pellet is nothing more than
some mercury sulphocyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move off so quickly
from the burning pellet that it writhes
and disterts itself into the shape of a
miniature snake.
