ENGLAND HAS
TOO MANY WORKERS

London, Jan. 19.-The great increase
in the number of women employed in
British industries has become an i'm
portant factor, and only an expansion
in industry can take care of all the
labor-both male and female-now
available. according to a statement by
the American Chamber of Commerce
in London.
Sir Auckland Geddes. president Of
the board of trade recently declared
that the country production would
have to be increased, not only for the
sake of export markets, but to absorb
surplus labor. According to his fig
ures, said the American chamber,
there are already over 800, 900 more
men and women employed, or looking
for employment in the Industrial
world than before the war. The de-
mobilization of troops would necessi-
tate the absorption of almost another
600, 600.

when all the western country was

in oil skin and put in saddle bags the
address was started on its way amid

was carried by the riders a total of
1850 miles in 1S5 hours. an average
of a little more than ten miles an

days.

There are great many people who are sick,
yet manage to do their work and drag along
day after day, feeling miserable, discouraged
and tired all the time. They do not know
what is the matter and their physicians cannot
name the disease.
In many cases this state of poor health is
caused by poisoned blood. At one time or an
other, possibly years back, the blood was con
taminated or tainted by bihousness, constipa-
tion, kidney and other diseases.
These conditions of poisoned blood are

NOT ALWAYS PACIFIC PEOPLE
Chinese Have Had Great Military
Past, But Have Not Fostered
the Fighting Spirit.

Writing Of the romance Of military
insignia, Col. Robert E. Wyllie doubt
less surprised some of his readers in
the National Geographic Magazine
when he informed them that the first
military medal was probably awarded
by Chinese emperor, some 1900
years ago. The statement falls pat
with an article by Mr.. 7. L. Leo, q
Chinese student of the history of his
own country, published in Asia maya
zine, in which Mr.. Leo looks back to
Chinese military practice, In the early
centuries of the Christian era, and
shows how the treatise on the art of
War" written by the ancient Chinese
military leader, Sun WI, correspond
ed to the maxims of Frederick the
Great, which were In turn expressed
by Won Hindenburg. The military past
of China is nowadays very generally
overlooked, and the explanation ad-
vanced by Mr.. Leo is interesting at
this period. The Chinese, he says,
have never admired the fighting spirit,
but ION the contrary, have ever been
condemning it, curbing it, and fore
Ing it to lie dormant"

Pneumatic ChiseI.

I0redo Taft, a Chicago sculptor, it
is stated, has installed in his studio
a pneumatic chisel, by means of which
the work of outlining marble statues
is greatly simplitied The old method
of carving with mallet and chisel is
not only lahorious, but rather aWk-
ward for the sculptor, since only one
hand is left free to guide the chi>el.
In the case of the pneumatic chisel
both hands may be used for this pur-
pose. The pneumatic chisel is driven
by compressed air. at a pressure Of II
pounds per square inch, operating
through a flexible tube the air being
compressed in a large tank by means
of an electric motor. The air pass
ing through the tube has the effect
Of driving the chisel back and forth
against the stone, just as if it We're
hit by mallet The chisel, Of
course, is used only to outline the
statue roughly, the finishing work all
being done by hand.

Dry-Time Atroclry.

A tale of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir-

mission, was told at 4 dinner at New
York. Sir Arthur when he arrived liz
the United States, brought his own sup
ply with HMM a golf bag, Recently
the supply was eXhausted-all save q
half bottle of real stuff. Calling in
some of his fellow delegates, Sir Ar
thur proposed a final drink. Glasses
were filled, the bottle was emptied and
a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes
water in his. And at some of the Amer
lean hotels where he had stopped they
have cute little taps stuck into the wall
or into the washbowl from which ice
water flows when the button is pressed.
This was the last drink and Sir Arthur
wanted to be careful. SO he pressed
the button carefully Then he tried to
down his drink. He didn't; he had
made a mistake. Instead of the ice
water tap he had used tap that yield
ed LIQUID soap.
