ONLY CHANGE in MACHINERY
Hand Knitting Now Done In Exacti,
the Same Manner as Il Was Many
Centuries AGO.

There are a few touches Of humoi
In the countryside revival Of knitting
such as the over-large and the envious
feminine group about the lady who,
with spracticed skill. deity turns the
heel of sock, but behind it all is q
fine display Of service. says writer in
the Detroit Free Press. When you
see sweater or muff1er in process OF
evolution it may interest you to know
that the work is being done just about
as 1t was when the art was In its In.
fancy. There have been great improve
ments In knitting machinery, however,
and the first Of them was directly due
to a somewhat common malady-un
reciprocated love.
The Rev. William Lee Of Cambridge
university, as the story goes, was deep
ly smitten with maiden of his native
town, marlborough, Nottinghamshire
but in spite Of his ardent wooing could
make no impression. The fair one
calmly kept on with her knitting, then
the common occupation of English
women.
In revenge Reverend William swort
he'd invent machine which would de-
stroy the market for hand work. He
kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re-
fused to grant patent and to give her
financial support because too many of
her subjects would be deprived of their
means Of livelihood. So the inventor
took his machine to France. This
story may be entirely fanciful, but in
1889 William Lee did revolutionize
hosiery making by producing the knit
ting. frame or stocking frame. Ameri-
can names in the list of those who
have labored to perfect knitting ma
chinery are W. G. Gist, Alnet Reid and
Griswold.

PLAN AIR POSTAL SERVICE
Is Expected by EnglIshmen to Be Ono
Of the First Innovations When
Peace ls Declared.

Airplane postal service will be one of
the first innovations of peace in Eng
land. The problem is already being
worked out in detail, even to The cost
Of postage and hours of collection and
delivery. 1t Is also said that within
the first few months after peace a
transatlantic airplane service will be
established. Airplane engineers say
that the problem of constructing a
machine for transatlantic flight has
been solved In theory, and machines
which would cross the Atlantic could
be built to-day If 1t were not that the
long distance BUSES of war time must
also be heavy weight carriers. The
most interesting result of these peace
plans is that 1t has been found pos
sible to arrange the collection and de-
livery of letters between London and
Glasgow with such dispatch that cor
respondent In London will be able to
receive written answer within the
working day. Applied to the middle
Vest, an exchange says, this means
that Kansas City business man will
be able to send a document to st.
Louis. Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis,
Sioux Falls, Omaha. Oklahoma City,
Fort Worth, Texarkana or Little Rock
when he reaches his Office In the morn
ing and receive 1t back duly signed be-
fore he goes home. The estimated
postage for this service works out at
8 cents per ounce.

And Spain. Tool

Although neutral Spain may not be
in the war, the Spaniards are certainly
in 1t. The French have been perfectly
well aware that hundreds of Span
iards Joined the Foreign Legion, at the
beginning of the war; so that Paris
was not taken the least by surprise
when 300 Spanish soldiers paraded in
French uniform to receive decorations
for valor. The Spanish colony patri-
otically welcomed them with fiery
speeches, while the French loaded them
with medals. Three received the re-
ward of the Legion Of Honor. and
scores the Croix Militaire and the
Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strict
~ legal point of view. the Spanish
legionaries have imperiled their ma
TONS neutrality, it will be interesting
to know what Berlin will have to say
about It; or rather about the SO sink
ings of Spanish ships and the Sc pro-
tests made by Spain. which friendly"
Germany has consistently ignored

Chautauqua
i'm War Time
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.

Chautauqua II peculiarly an Ameri-
can Institution.
There was never anything like it,
W Europe or elsewhere.
Nobody invented it. 1t was not de-
vised. 1t just grew.
Its roots run deep into the Ameri-
can character. They go down TIC the
old Saxon Witenagemot, the New Eng
land Town Meeting and the Methodist
Camp Meeting.
Its idea is that of free assembIage.
Of sovereign people, every soul a
king, every man hooking upon the
problems of the world, its govern
ments and its morals, with dspos-
ing eye.
To this is added the greatest Of
American enthusiasms, Education.
The American people are always at
school They conceive of Education,
not as the privilege Of the few, but
as the duty Of the many. not alone for
gentlemen and scholars, teachers and
the learned professions, but also for
Every Man. Every Woman, Every
Child.
So the Farmers, Merchants. Clerks,
Housewives, Laborers, together with
Preachers, Lawyers and Doctors,
gather as one great commons. to listen
to the discussion of those vast issues
that once were the secret themes of
kings' cabinets, to discuss. to form
intelligent opinion, fearlessly to decide.
unafraid to take their part In the
councils of Democracy.
Invaluable service. Battles are won
not only by soldiers at the front. but
also by the spirit Of the people az
home. Equipped by long preparation
In times of peace. the Chautauqua
camps all over the country are now
prepared, as Is no other agency, to
keep the home fires burning to
maintain that intelligent patriotism.
that clear understanding Of what we
are fighting for, that indomitable reso-
luton to win and that cheerfulness
and courage which are needed in or
der to make America one hundred per
cent efficient In her gigantic task o.
"making the world safe for democra-
cy."
President Wilson justly terms Chau-
tauqna IAN integral part Of the ma
tional defense.
Never before has Chautauqua meant
what it Is going to mean in 1913.
Here, In the free air of discussion
will be blown away the subtle poison
gas Of German propaganda. Here the
great Common People will be lined
ND to support, not in blind subservi-
ency, but In discriminating loyalty
the government Here will all good
causes find reinforcement Here will
the greatest Crisis that ever was i'm
posed upon the world be made to fuse
the hearts Of our people into sturdy
loyalty.
The hosts Of Chautauqua this year
will come to their places Of assembly,
In no rhetorical sense. but with true
and earnest reality,
Marching as to War,
With the Cross Of Jesus
Going on before"

Burlington

An ordinary citizen crossing the Del
aware river between Burlington and
Bristol can make the round trip on
s'Commodore" William E. Doron's fer
ryboat for Is cents. incidentally, this
Ia said to be the highest rate of ferriage
for . trip of similar length on any
stream east of the Mississippi. The
hundreds OF workmen living in New
Jersey but temployed in the shipyards
near Bristol are Obliged to pay 20 cents
! This practice, considered by shipyard
workmen and by business men a.
Outrageous profiteering. is defended
by Boron on the plea that he makes
special trips to carry the workmen, but
the crowds he carries would at the reg
ular fare of Is cents pay better than
any Of the regular voyages. Workmen
have recently raised such a protest that
the Merchants Shipbuilding Company
at Bristol has agreed to pay the trans
portation in addition to the regular
wages for many of the New Jersey me-
chanics. The Government will event
ually pay for this extra item of ex-
pense. Regular ferry tickets are marked
with the notices mot good for special
trips" No tickets are sold to the
workmen for the early morning extra
trips ahead OF the regular schedule,
and, no matter when they return in |
the afternoon, they must pay the one
fare OF 10 cents. Doron jealously |
guards his line from competition. He
claims charter rights to the exclusive
privilege OF carrying passengers be
tween the two cities and for mile in
each direction up and down the river,
and threatens with lawsuits any com
petitors. When private launch owners
planned to operate ferry service at
night Doron quickly made arrange
ments with Common Council last
week for the use of the Burlington
town wharf and engaged two launches
to operate under his charter. His ferry
charter has always been a puzzle to
linens.

Slam Studies Philippine Health.

The Philippine model sanitary house
which has aroused so much interest not
only among Filipinos but also among
residents Of neighboring countries. has
been adopted by Siam. and contractors
located at Bangkok, having secured in
structions from the Philippine health
service, have begun the construction Of
q number there. The Siamese are
keenly alive to the Importance Of pro-
noting public health, and inasmuch as
the health problems of Siam are very
similar to those of the Philippines ow-
ing to climate and products, delega-
lions of Siamese have arrived from
time 10 time In Manila for the purpose
of studying Philippine methods, one of
them last year. being headed by his
Royal Highness Prince Rangsit, BROTH
er of the king of Siam.

Old Rates Of Interest.

Five per cent interest on loan
would have been scoffed at by the men
who had money to lend In medieval
times. In the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries the usual rate seems to have
been 20 per cent. and in the preceding
centuries 1t was probably higher, says
the London Chronicle. The rate of In
terest decreased with the increase Of
specie, with an occasional Limitation
by the state. Elizabeth reduced the
rate by law to 10 per cent. James to
s and Charles II to 8. In ancient
Rome. according to Niebuhr. the rate
was 8 1-3 for ten-month year-tht
equivalent Of 10 per cent per annnm.
