MACHINE TESTS PAPER TEARS.

A paper testing machine has
been invented by member of the
staff of the forest products labora-
tory at Madison. 1t is expected to
render valuable service TO the pa
per industry by supplying data re-
garding the strength OF paper
data that has not been easy to OBJ
tain heretofore The difficulty in
testing the tearing strength of pa
per has always been in securing a
constant force Of value. Irregular
tiles in the paper structure, due TO
its fibrous nature, make the read
ing Of the force required to tear
the paper very uncertain. The ma
chine now nearing completion over
comes this difficulty by yielding an
average force for the entire tear.
1t simply measures the work done
in tearing the strip. Dividing tho
work done by the length of the
tear gives the average tearing
force. The length OF the tear is
tho same in all cases so that the
machines can be calibrated to read
the average tearing force.

eddy limited production of pork in
that section. Four years later g.
ISL hogs were shipped during tho
II months to the same central
market, which is an accurate meas
ure of the increase in popularity OF
pork production during that per-
iod. During the first three months
OF this year almost as many Mis-
sissippi hogs were exported from
the state as were shipped out dur
ing the entire preceding year. OF
course, the high price of fat hogs
and the need for a heavy produc-
ton Of meat products have account
ed largely for this increase, al

popularity Of the porker has come
as the result of southern farmers

SECOND AVENUE LOOKS LIKE sHOEsTRING FROM
PLANE 1900 FEET ABOVE CITY, MAYOR RELATES
THE mayor. the mayor
Went up in the air"

Second avenue looked like a big
black shoestring dropped among a
flock OF lighthouses to Mayor Har-
~ NJ. Schriver. yesterday afternoon,
when he few over Rock Island on a
Jaunt through the ozone.
He was the special guest of Lieu
tenant L. D. Wright OF Allston, a
suburb Of Boston, Mass, a fyer in
the cross-continental air derby. the
pilot having been authorized to take
up the mayor by the war depart
ment. The mayor peeked at Rock
Island, Moline. and the suburbs as
well as penetrating several miles
toward central Illinois, 1900 feet
from the ground. His honor said
that while It was wonderful ex-
perience, indescribably so in many
ways, he had no sense of danger
and no other feeling than one of
exhilaration.
A clear atmosphere made the
visibility very high.
AT a height of ! 500 feet I could
see for twenty or thirty miles. The
sight was beautiful" said the
mayor. When We weren't right
over Rock Island, the city, outside
OF a strip Of buildings running
along within a few blocks of the
river. presented the appearance of
a forest. 1 never appreciated be-
fore how many shade trees there
are in Rock Island. Out in the
country the ground from our height
looked like a checkerboard in a bad
state of repair, but it was pretty
Just the same. However, the most
strikingly beautiful scene was the
Rock river valley, It's worth a
fair sum Of anyone's money just to
feel the sensation that you get in
flying in a plane and to see the
sights you do from that elevation"
Very Few Thrills.
The mayor said that the scenery
absorbed his whole attention. The
plane went at a constant speed OF
lis to 100 miles per hour and was
l 500 feet in the air. However, he
felt no fear or nervousness or had
any sensation Of nearness of dan
ger. The nearest he came to such
a feeling was when Lieutenant
Wright tipped the plane TO a As
degree angle and dived for about
800 feet. This felt very much like
descending in a fast passenger ele-
vator in an office building or store
And the only time became very
excited or felt worked up in any
way was when the lieutenant be-

The Rock Island flying field is
In perfect shape and the character
Of it's surface makes it permanently

the difference in the action of the
plane when taking over it's smooth

lyn, where she was laid to rest.
Pushcart peddlers always had a
good word for Mother" Dick, and
many of them did not take their
places in the long line along the
street yesterday, but went to pay
their last respects to her.
Those who have rent troubles on
the East Side, IN the Ghetto, know
that the flftyfamily house at SO Riv-
ington street, was not a place OF
profiteering.
This is the House of Babies; no
Rents are Raised Here"
That was the legend on a sign
which was put up by Max Dick, at
the instance of his mother.
Mother" Dick was the patron
saint Of all the children at 60 Riv-
ington street. 1t was known as the
house OF babies, because there
were more than 200 of them living
there. Every day she went among
the families in the house TO see
that no one should want; and be-
fore every important holiday on the
Jewish calendar, she took especial
pains to befriend the needy.
Toward shutdown, every day, she
would gather the children around
her and give them sweetmeats.
About 25 years ago Rebecca Dick
came to New York from Tarnopol,
Austria Five years before, her son
had come, and she came to join
him, with his sister, who is Mrs.
Tillie Mintzer. The son caught the
spirit of his mother, and the
house at So Rivington street achiev-
ed fame. Every summer MRx Dick
held a festival in honor of all his
tenants and their children, and
when a child was born the happy
parents received a prize from their
landlord.

GOURD ADDED TO

The long, lank, green vegetable
baseball bat in the window of The
Argus Office, called a South Ameri-
can gourd, and grown by. Mrs.
Thomas Petersen, is out-rivaled
and out-shone. The newcomer is
an Australian butter bean, and
was grown at 1890 Eighteenth
street, by John NJ. Pardon, who
says he has IL more just like 1t.
1t is IS inches long and weighs
IA pounds. Like the other monster
vegetable, it resembles a baseball
bat IN shapes but is much thicker
and heavier, and only a team Of
Titan players would be able to
WELD it on the diamond.

New York, Oct. 10.-Moving day
last week was chaos unprecedent-
ed in the history of the Metropolis.
Fifty thousand New Workers tried
to move into new dwellings. About
two thousand OF them had no place
in which to move. Many who want
ed to move had no means OF getting
their furniture transported.
The confusion was reflected in
the municipal courts, where many
landlords seeking the eviction of
tenants to make room for others,
had filed 5000 complaints by night
fall. In many flats in the poorer
sections of the city, both the old
and the new tenants are living to-
gether. The new tenants moved in
but found the old occupants IN
prepared to get out.
The hotels were jammed the next
day with persons who could not
get into their apartments. Guests
were sleeping two and three in a
room.
On the east side pushcarts and
on the west side private automo-
biles we're used to carry furniture
through the streets. when vans
could not be procured.
A costly type OF automobile
passed Seventy-second street and
Broadway loaded with kitchen
utensils and chairs. The owner a
Wall Street broker, sat in front
with the chauffeur.
The moving van people wanted
$15 an hour" the broker said. This
is much cheaper. We're on our
fourth trip now. The chauffeur, the
apartment house superintendent
and 1 are all lending a hand, and
everything is going nicely"
