HELP TO FILL FAMILY PURSE


In a survey Of family incomes in
nearly one hundred cities OF the Unit
ed States, the department of labor
found that in Johnstown, N. Y, three.
quarters Of tho wives earn money.
The Labor Review explains that this
remarkable condition prevails In Johns
town because glovemaldng is the prin.
cipnl industry there and furnishes
work which women can do at home.
This appeals TO them, because they
are able to earn good wages without
leaving their household.
In almost one-slxth Of the New York
city homes visited women contributed
earnings toward the support Of the
home. In Boston, one wife out Of
ten works; In Buffalo, one in twenty
eight; In Cleveland and Cincinnati one
In seven, and In Pittsburgh only one
In fifty. It Is interesting to note that
investigators found that surprisingly
large percentage of town dwellers de-
rive some income from gardens and
poultry. Nlnety-three per cent Of those
visited in Cleveland had n garden or
chickens.

Famous London Tree Gone.

A famous old mulberry tree in north
London, England, under which IA
years ago II is said the American Dec
laration Of Independence was first
read In that country, has fallen under
the weight Of Its age. American boy
scouts attending the international
scout conference in London visited
the tree only few days before II
crashed and its history was told to 300
Of them, who had their photographs
taken beneath its branches. The tree
stood on one Of the lawns Of the Mild
may conference hall. Many religious
leaders hive addressed meetings un-
der It's ample shade. Hundreds of re-
quests for chips from the historical
tree ARE being received.

LlXlnn 70 Be 100.

Real centenarians seldom have
striven to be such. But asplrants to
that class are always full OF anxiety
lest they break self-imposed rules,
and are generally contemptuous of the
other fellows schemes.
Two such men who once resided in
Toronto used to amuse their friends
by their criticisms Of each other. One
argued that his acquaintance could
not possibly live to be one hundred
years old because he drank only one
glass Of water instead OF two on rls-
ing. The other was equally positive
about his rival. HE hasn't got
chance" he was wont TO say. "Why2
Because he uses salt on his potatoes.
I've seen him doing It," Both died be-
fore they we're sixty years old.
Longevity isn't everything Trying
to live clearly and do good is better
than striving to find a formula for 100
years Of tenancy on earth.-Toronto

Although II Is common belief
among sailors that whales, when they
sound" descend to enormous depths
In the ocean, and although It has been
estimated that the larger whales COM
monty dive to depth Of almost two
thirds Of q mile, yet member Of an
antarctic expedition challenges these
statements, and AYERS that about 300
feet is the maximum depth to which
a whale can dive. He bases his state
ment partly on the fact that the fish
on which they feed, and to obtain
which they are accustomed to sound,
dwell near the surface, and partly on
the fact that at the depth Of 1000
yards or more the pressure Is so great
that they could not Withstand II, and
that their muscular strength Is not
sufficient to propcl them into the re-
gions where II prevails.

and when he rose from his chaiT he
CHANGED to be close to corner of
the wall that jutted out and shut a
rear door from view of the masked
man who was leveling two revolvers
through the tellers window.
Instead Of backing against the wall,
Josephus lodged behind this project
ing corner and slid out of the door,
which carelessly had been left open,
Little caution was exercised at the
First National, for what self-respect-
ing bank robber would think of plying
his trade in such community
Josephus escaped with his hands
full of bills. The robber did not see
him, perhaps because Josephus was
so thin he scarcely cast a shadow.
Rosalind was again occupied with
the daring deeds of Roaring Ruther-
ford when the changing Of the door
bell aroused her, but before she could
answer the alarm her thin sutton
rushed into the room and waved two
handfuls Of greenbacks In her face.
II win r. Josephus breathed triumph
antly. "a robber just robbed the
bank, but escaped with all this
money"
He detailed the circumstances with
certain Celebrations, and Rosalind
smiled and told him she guessed he
was the winner. When they counted
the money he had saved from the
bandit the total proved to be $106
Josephus had been so excited he seized
piles of one-dollar bills instead Of
larger denominations, which would
have been just as easy.
They had scarcely completed the
task Of counting the bills when stout,
florid-faced neighbor woman burst into
the room.
"Have you heard the newsf she ex-
claimed between gasps. "The bank has
been robbed. And can you guess who
was the heroT
Josephus thrust his shoulders back
and his chest forward and smiled with
superiority.
"The robber got only $780," the
neighbor woman continued. "He got
only what was on Mr.. Smartlox's desk.
The vault was full Of money--thou-
sands Of dollars-but the robber
couldn't find the vault, because Felix
Spriggins backed up against the vault
door and hid It from view."

AMERICAN FIRST IN FIELD
MahIon LoomIs Of Massachusetts, Had
Idea Of Wireless Long Before
Marconl Perfected II.

Mahlon LOOMS, who lived in West
Springfield, Mass, Is credited with
having sent the first aerial message In
1865, thus antedating Marconi, who
did not begin his experiments until
1895.
In 1872 Loomls obtained a patent
for his system of aerial telegraphy,
and would today probably have been
heralded as the dlscoverer OF wireless
telegrnphy If he had been given prop
er financial support and encourage
ment from the public, instead of be-
Ing ridlculed. AS 1t was, congress
passed the "Loomls aerial telegraph
bill" In 1873, approprlating $4,000 for
further development, but the sum
never reached Loomls.
LOOMS made the first public demon
stration of wireless possibilities in
1896 from The peaks Of the Blue
Ridge mountains In Virginia, IA miles
apart. A kite was raised from each
mountain With q copper wire attached
to telegraphing apparatus, and the
message sent by LOOMS was received
at the other station as though the two
had been connected by wires.
LOOMS also made successful expert
ments communicating between vessels
in Chesapeake bay. The vessels were
stationed about two miles apart, and
on each was a telegraph apparatus.
Wires were attached to the Instru-
ments with their other ends thrown
into the winter at a moderate depth.
Another insulated wire of much great
er strength was thrown into a cold
stratum Of wnter. These two strata
connected with the same battery made
a complete circuit.

WANT RECRUITS FUR .OUARTERMASTER DUTY IN THE CANAL ZONE

The war department is anxious to obtain men for the quartermaster corps to serve in Panama. This opens an arm of the service for young men a a station that is considered the most de- sirable in the army.
 The quartermaster's corps is the business end of the army Clerks, bookkeepers, typists and stenographers are in great demand and warehousemen are especially needed. An enlisted man on duty at Panama lives under the most favorable conditions. The quar- ters are built with every modern con- venience and comfort for the soldier and recreational and educational faciIi- ties are provided as a means of inn proving himself or passing away his spare time. Members of the -Quarter- master corps are practically free from military drill and can spend much of their time in seeing the wonders of the great canal and the people of all ma tions who pass through it. Excellent schools with civilian instructors, where the soldier scan study any trade or oc- cupation he desires. to follow, are pro vided, and a man can fit himself to hold a good paying position when he returns to civil life.
 Soldiers discharged in the Canal Zone at the completion of enlistment are given prefevence in any positions that are open on the canal. and as all work in the zone is operated by the govern ment, it is possible to secure employ ment as a civilian that will pay a high salary together with all the privileges of a government employe.
 The sergeant at the local recruiting station will be glad to explain the many of q term of service in the
