CAT GAVE. H|M,|DEA
Where Ell Whitney Got Principle
Of Cotton Gin.
Tabby's Reaching for Chick Just Be-
You'd Her Reach Furnished lnspira.
tion TO- Machine Which Has
Accomplished So Much.

We learn from history that Eli Whit
ney invented the cotton gin, but people
who are interested in the great cotton
Industry Of the southwest will probably
be surprised to learn that a cat first
demonstrated the principle upon which
the cotton gin was founded. Anyone
who has seen an Imperial valley or
Salt River valley cotton gin in action
will understand that this story Is en-.
tirely plausible.
Before Eli Whitney got into the pub
lie eye he.went down the street One at
ternoon to lean on the garden fence
and chat with his sweetheart while.
During the course OF their visit she
called his attention to brood of fluffy
chickens in slat coop near the house.
While they were admiring the chicks,
along came the house cat. hungry for
fresh meat. Tabby reached in to claw
chick out Of the coop, but as she did
so the old mother hen pecked at her.
That caused the cat to make a sweep
ing swipe at one Of the chicks, with
her claws exposed. She did not get
the chick, but she withdrew her paw
with bunch Of fun clinging to her
claws.
Whitney witnessed the incident, and
the idea struck him quite forcibly.
Turning to his sweetheart he said: "At
last have plan for separating cotton
from the seed. What we need Is a
machine that will act like the cats
paw. The cat struck at the chicken
and removed Its feathers. I want a
machine that Will strike at the cotton
and remove 1t from the thing to which
1t Is fastened"
So he invented machine which had
multitude Of fine teeth revolving rap
idly on a cylinder. and when the cotton
was fed through 1t the teeth tore all
the cotton from the seed in much the
same way as the cats claws stripped
the fluff from the baby chick.
The machine designed by Whitney
which has been such blessing to hu-
mainly was practically as successful
at the outset as Il Is today. 1t per-
formed the work that was cut out for
1t, and nothing better has been invent
ed since that time! With slight changes
the cotton gin Of today is the cotton
gin that Eli Whitney realized in his
brain the moment he saw the cat side
swipe the chicken. The cat had been
carrying the secret of the cotton gin
around in one Of her paws for centur-
les. and it only required close obser-
yer to discover that fact.

WAGE INCREASE
OF 100000

Washington, May 26-General paw
increases for nearly 100000 railroad
employees were announced today by
Director General McAdoo, effective
next Saturday and retroactive to last
January |, carrying out substantially
recommendations of the railroad
wage commission. The aggregate of
the increase probably will be more
than S300000,000 year, half of which
will be distributed within a few weeks
as back pay in lump sums ranging
nom about 500 to nearly $500 each.
The director general departed from
the wage commissioners recommen-
dations in the following particulars:
! The principle of the basic eight
.hou1 day is recognized, but owing to
exigencies of the war situation, hours
of employment are not actually re-
duced, and overtime is to be paid pro-
rata; future adjustments of pay are to
be made on the basis of eight hours
In addition to the ordinary scale
OF increase, day laborers employed
mainly on track work, are to get at
least 2 IL cents an hour more than
they received December 81.
A minimum of SIS cents an hour is
established for the shop trades, in
Guiding machinists, boiler makers and
blacksmiths.
Women are to receive the same paw
Is men for the same work, and ne
groes are to ger the came 90 whisa
men for similar employment.

LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS MISS GARDNER

In response to invitation from the
Bradshaw Music Co., the Grand OPP
era House was packed last Wednes-
day evening with an expectant audi
ence to hear the famous contralto.
Miss Ida Gardner (our own, assist
ed by Mr. Harold Lyman, hutist.
Mr.. lyman, in few well chosen
words, introduced Miss Gardner. AS
she took her place beside the beautiful
new Edison Phonograph not sound
could be heard. Soon d beautiful
we'll rounded voice rose and, unless
one watched her lips, it was impos-
sible TO tell whether it was Miss Car
! dner's voice or its recreation on the
| monograph. Just how true and beau
| tiful is this recreation OF the human
voice was best illustrated when Miss
Gardner sang a duet with herself, it
being impossible to Distinguish be-
tween the singers living voice and its
recreation by the musical instrument
tia. bears the stamp of Edison's &C.
rius.
There was an amusing incident dur
ing the rendering of Sweet Geneva
eve. Miss Gardner began the song
with the instrument, the lights were
turned off for minute, and when
they reappeared Miss Gardner was
gone but her voice could still be
heard. Two boys said they knew she
was hiding behind the machine When
she quietly walked from behind the
scenes and showed that her voice was
proceeding from the instrument, as
constituent was shown on many faces.
Miss Gardner has charming per-
sonality and her voice is magnificent.
She sings with absolute ease-that
ease that comes only with artistic
training. Mr.. Lyman is a futist of
rare ability and his selections were
much enjoyed.
The program, with selections added,
was varied, and the audience of twelve
hundred was often moved from tears
to laughter The hearers showed
their appreciation by spontaneous APP
plause after each number.
Miss Gardeners appeal for the Red
Cross was a gem and must have
touched every heart.
The Bradshaw Music Co. not only
deserves our gratitude, but have prov
en- that our citizens appreciate the
very best in music. 1t was a wonder
full evening and will long be remem-
bcred.
