Workers Are Ambitious To
Become Bosses and
Employers

Newark, n J.-On his seventy third
birthday Thomas Edison said he would
like to know IF The time will ever
come when the unions generally will
teach their members to be better
workmen and train their ablest and
more ambitious to become bosses and
employers"
While history shows that the eight
hour day is older than our present civ
ilization, Mr.. Edison said 4 am glad
that the eight-hour day had not been
invented when | was young man
The electric wizard ignored present
day specialization and the develop
ment of the factory system. In the
Newark Ledger Hugh v Reilly made
this reference to the local Edison com
pany:
For years it had been a practice
Of the Edison company to herd appli-
cants for employment in a large field
until the employment agent could look
then over When that dignitary
would arrive it was his custom to
mount large box and scan tha crowd
AS his eye would meet some future
founder Of hyphenated- American
family who might be smoking a long
stemmed pipe, he would motion him
to come forward and he would get the
job.
"Of late this practice has been
modified somewhat. The firm now
adyertises for Americans, but, ac-
cording to the advice of local labor
officials the man with the Is incn
smoke pipe still gets the job

What Becomes of Old Cars?

the fate of used cars. and The reason
for the comparatively strong price
maintained on them must be sought in
other directions
Many secondhand cars are bought
by small tradesmen, who convert them
to commercial uses; but by far the
larger number return to their makers,
or to the various branches, where they
are dissected for the many parts that,
with little cleaning can be used
again, thus freeing the shops from the
necessity of turning out quantities of
parts for replacement stock

received the signature of the governor
on June . and was first enforced at
Bangor on July 4 OF the same year.
This law was re-enacted, IN all its

stringent in 1867 and again in 1870 It
was 50 amended in 1872 rs to bring
cider ard wine from grapes grown in

EFFICIENCY EXPERTS
Who Continually Nag Labor
Overlook Big Point

Washington Efficiency experts,
who continually nag labor and who
would turn human beings into mere
production machines, can tackle a
real efficiency problem if they act on
a tip by the United States bureau Of
mines.
The bureau says that the smoke
evil annually costs each dweller in
residential sections Of cities from $12
to $50 in property damage, and this
can be stopped if the bituminous coal
is first turned into coke and gas,
which are smokeless, the coke being
used for house heating and gas for
cooking. This method will also save
valuable by-products of the coal
Much of the larger part Of the
country has to depend on soft coal y
said DR.. Van II Manning, director of
the bureau Of mines. Coke should
be used for heating houses because
it is a clean and convenient fuel 1t
eliminates smoke, reduces the neces-
sity of cleaning the furnace and fues,
requires less attention than coal and
gives a more uniform temperature in
the house By burning coke for do
nestle heat, more soft coal will be
used in by-produet plants, which
save many valuable by-products that
are wasted when the coal is used di-
rectly. The by-products Of popular
interest obtained in the coking pro-
cess are gas, light oils, ammonia and
tars
with soft coal costing $7 a ton
turned into its by-products, you will
get 5000 cubic feet of gas valued at
SIS; three gallons of light oil valued
at rs cents; 25 pounds Of ammonia
sulphate valued at $4.25; nine gallons
Of tar worth 25 cents, and more than
half ton Of coke valued at $6.
when our mineral supply of oil
is exhausted, soft coal will be a ma
terial source Of motor fuel The light
oil recovered from coking soft coal
now supplies part of the eyer-increas-
ine demand for motor fuel Germany
during part of the war, was cut off
from every supply Of mineral oil, and
she depended entirely for her motor
fuel on her coal. As a result Of that
condition, Germany sent most 70 her
coal through by-product coking plants.
What has been done in Germany may
in the future have to be done IN the
United States"

Harmon, city attorney OF Tacoma,
Wash, and is one OF the most signi-
ficant bits Of information in connection
with the entire scout movement
OF the 700 boys now afliated with
the Tacoma council the fact that not
one in active standing and only two
who had ever had any connection with
scout work should come under the
consideration of the court officers
speaks for itself Of the ideals Of con.

Scouting has always appealed ts
me for three reasons" said Mr. Har,
mon, continuing his explanation of his
great interest in the scout movement.
First. it teaches the boys the prac
tical lessons they need to learn. Sec
ond, it gives them the recreation and
physical activities in the great out-of-
doors. Third, it holds up to the boys
the highest ideals of service and good
citizenship
Such teaching training and activi-
ties for the growing boys have an in
estimable value to a community con-
