ORIGIN oil The "Horn Rook.n

The horn book, invented in 1850 and
used considerably up to the close of
the eighteenth century, was the usual
text book of the elementary schools,
A thin slab Of hard wood was covered
with parchment on which were print
ed the capital and small letters, nu-
merals. and some elementary syllables
and words. Over this a thin sheet of
transparent cows horn was placed
and firmly bound so that no moisture
could penetrate.

WASTE OF GASOLINE

If each of the 1000, 900 motor vehicles
in the United States wasted half gallon
of gasoline a day, the total amount OF
fuel wasted would be 1882, ESQ, 600 gal
Ions annually-S332, 062, 500 thrown away
yearly.
These figures, estimated by the truck
tire department of The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, indicate that the
waste of gasoline throughout America
has assumed serious proportions and that
there is an immediate need of conserva-
ton.
If the drivers of all passenger cars and
motor trucks were careful to coast up to
stops, on down grades, had carburetors
properly adjusted, did not race their mo-
tors when starting and did not let them
run idle, 800, 000,00 gallons of gasoline
could be saved annually. At an average
price of rs cents gallon, the total say
ing In money would amount to SUI, O0O, :
OOO-enough to build 5000 miles OF I'M
proved roads,
AT present it is estimated that the con-
sumption of gasoline by motors IS 3D.
ooo,OU0 barrels year. The total con-
sumption for all purposes is about 9l,-
100000 barrels.
production of crude petroleum is be-
lieved to be at its peak with an annual
production of AGO. O0O,0 600 barrels. But
100000, 900 barrels of gasoline can be
produced from this total leaving but g.
OOO, 600 for export demands.
Recently oil companies have started
nationwide movement for gasoline con-
servation, in some places by rationing SO
that the demands of legitimate motor
transportation NAV be met.

LABOR COSTS IN DEFLATION.

John H. Donlin, president of the
Building Trades Department of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, who, now
that lumber prices are being cut, is quo =
ted by the World as saying that work.
ingmen must do their part, tells the
truth to shame the devil.
In the average small frame house there
are only few thousand feet of lumber.
A cut of $40 thousand on ten thousand
feet of lumber is only 500 in all. A cut
of $40 thousand is only 5000 ineal A
cut of $50 thousand is only $500 in all
But in that same small house there are
many hundreds, even thousands of hours
of high priced labor, not to mention other
material than lumber
Four months at building a house-if
anybody nowadays can get any kind of
house built in four months-with an av-
erage of only six men day on the Job,
means 264 hours a week, or 4, 700 hours
for the four months period of construct
ion. An average wage increase in the
last two or three years of 80 cents an
hour means an increased labor cost in
that little house of 1,400. An average
wage increase of 40 cents means an in
creased labor cost in that little house of
some 81, 800.
1t is the same with the manufacture of
goods and the selling of goods. 1t is the
same with pretty nearly anything done
for the public and sold to the public
Unless inflated labor charges come
down when labor charges are the princi-
pal cost of nearly everything, prices can
not come down very far or stay down
very iong.-N. Y. Sun Herald.

MAINE WINS IONORS IN BIG AG.
RICULTURAL SHOW.

Maine was we'll represented at the
Eastern States Exposition Of America
held in Springfield, Mass, ,ast week.
The stock or pig demonstration team
from Hancock county, consisting of
Ralph Young of Hancock, Horace Estey
of Ellsworth and Donald Lord of East
Surry, took third place in the demonstra-
ton competition against teams repre-
senting all the other eastern States.
Considering the short time which Coun-
ty Agent Bridges had for training them,
this was very good showing. The po-
tato-Iudglng team representing Maine,
and coming from Aroostook county,
took first place in the interstate compe-
tition in Springfield This once more
brings Maine into the limelight as the
foremost State
In the mammoth pageant of the boys
and girls clubs of the eastern States,
held at the exposition, Maine was well
represented by an excellent float, which
was decorated in white and green paper
and bunting, all interviewer with pine
sign bearing the State motto, "Dirigo,"
forest of pine trees, and this float was
Great credit for the success of the float
must be given to Commissioner Phil
brook of the Maine State department of
agriculture for his assistance in prepar-
ing it.

ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR

An electric refrigerator without ice has
been built on the principle of thermo dy-
namics. 1t looks much like those in
common use but is equipped with little
electric motor. Pans containing water
are placed in the ice compartment and a
switch turns on the motor. When the
container is cold enough the current stops
automatically, and when it begins to get
warm the controlling switch starts the
motor again.

Vital Statistics in Maine.

Fewer births and deaths occurred in
Maine during the past year than for any
twelve month period of the last fifteen
years while at the same time the number
of marriages and divorces is the greatest
ever to 60 on record in single year in

The above startling figures have Just

that last year there were but 15,2O5
births or 1885 less than during the pre-
ceding year while for the first time since
1908 the number of births has dropped
below the Is, 900 mark.
