ROPE OF HUMAN HAIR
USED TO HOIST TIMBER
Cable 800 Feet In Length and Three
Inches Thick Contributed By
Japanese Women.

In st. Kilda hair ropes are used for
climbing the cliffs in search Of sea
birds eggs. To obtain the material for
these ropes takes many years, and
they are highly priced by such of the
islanders as are fortunate to possess
them.
A hair climbing rope is in the nature
of family heirloom, and is frequently
handed dow to tn eldest daughter as
wedding dowry
Similar ropes are not unknown in
other countries. One of the most re-
markable of these is mentioned by Sir
Frederick Treves in his book entitled
"The Other Side of the Lantern
He describes it as lying curled up
like gigantic caterpillar within the
great Buddhist temple at Kioto. 1t
measures 300 feet in length and three
inches in diameter, and is made up of
contributions from the heads of many
hundreds of thousands of Japanese
women.
Long ago it was used to drag the
timbers to the building and to hoist
them into place, and now it is careful
ly preserved, sacred relic, within the
vast edifce it helped to raise.-Detrait

SAVE CLOVER SEED
FOR HOME USE.

The second crop of clover has made
a good growth in most parts of Ken
lucky this year and there are many
fields that could be profittably harvest
ed for seed If clover hullers were
available according to the department
of Agronomy, College of Agriculture,
University of Kentucky. The depart
ment adds that it is practical to save
seed for home use, however even with
out huller and while such seed is
little more difficult to SOW its use will
mean a substantial saving when clover
seed is as high prices as at present
After the seed heads are brown and
the seed hard and gioosy the seed
should be cut and raked into small
windows. Setting the cutter car to
cut as high as possible is a good plan
as 1t will reduce the amount of straw
that must be handled, When the clover
is thoroughly dry it should be put I'M
der cover or stacked and the stack
covered with straw. During late whit
ter this material can be spread thinly
over the field to be sown to cover thus
giving liberal seeding.
If a grain separator is available the
clover can be run through the separa-
tor and the seed freed from the straw
Most Of it will still be in chaff but II
can be sown without much trauble
Finally the seed can be failed out by
hand and the chaff seed procured
Chaff seed give just as good results as
the clean seed and the only dsadvant-
age in its use is the difficulty of distri-
button. When there is a considerable
amount of clover seed In a county II
ought to be possible to get some of the
men operating threshers to get attach
ments for their machines for cleaning
clover seed. Most manufacturers OF
threshers make these attachments and
it is said that they give very salts

HGH LIVING COST
( CAUSES INCREASE
IN CHILD LABOR
Report Shows BtOh Boys and Girls Are
Compelled To Go To Work To Sup.
port Families - "White
Collar" Glass Hit.

Chicago. -Four thousand more chill
dren are working in Chicago today,
than year ago, according to Clyde A.
Brown, Acting Director of the City
Vocational Guidance Bureau. The in
crease in child labor is said to be
general in the Middle West, but excep-
lions are noted in Missouri, Kansas
and North Dakota
Necessity of the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living, the
pulling power of higher wages and
scarcity of adult labor together with
the discovery by employers that wom-
en- and children often could take the
place of men were cited by Mr.. Brown
among the reasons for SIMILAR in
crease in child labor in other parts of
the United States
Minnesota officials report that child
labor is nearly doubled in that state.
The greatest increase, they say, Is
among children of the white collar
class whose parents have been forced
by rising prices to permit their chill
dren to work. About 5000 under l6
years of age are now at work in Min
nesota.
Wisconsin statistics on child labor
for the year are not yet tabulated but
officials say enough returns are in to
indicate a considerable increase over
previous years Some boys under 16
ears have been reported receiving $1OO
a month.
T. c. Jennings, Texas State Labor
Commissioner, reports an increase OF
about ten per sent. in Texas child Ia
Dor over last year. Postpanement OF
compulsory school attendance, he
says, has been factor.
State Labor Commissioner Claude E.
Connally of Oklahoma says more vio-
lations of child labor laws have been

brought OF the attention Of his Office
this year than previously, from which
he deduces an increase in juvenile
workers, Conally said the increase in
violations was probably due to the fact
that there was 80 per cent. more jobs
in the state than workers.
A. l.. Urick, Iowa State Labor Com
missioner, recently reported that ap-
proximately 1000 more permits had
been issued in the past year to chill
dren between the aged of IA and 10
than in the year previous.
. Kansas and North Dakota report
child labor in those state as almost
negligible. st. Louis reports de-
crease. Children now employed in
that city are stated to number 5000,
which is $50 less than were at work
there year ago, The State Factory
Inspectors office says the decrease is
general all over the state. The fed
eral tax on child labor is given as the
cause Of the decrease.

ARED CROSS .@
VIZ In Roumania. TMN

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to most
tragic condition and In the summer
Of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched Its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, a canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumanla had TO
deal. Here is seen an Oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

II is a fact that an automobile s.

BEADFABRIC
is MADE TO
ENDABRASION

To provide against the abrasive
action OF steel rims against the rub
Der Of q tire. manufacturers have
provided an especially constructed
material called bead fabric. When
applied to the tire the bead fabric
is called a chatting strip.
Chatting strips enveIop the beads
or edges Of a tire and extend a short
distance underneath the rubber side
walls. They protect the part OF the
tire that touches the steel rim Be
sides preventing chatting they pro-
vide the tire a maximum rim grip,
keeping II from slipping OF creeping.
They also bind securely IN place the
ends Of the fabric OF layers Of cords.
While little thought Of, chatting
strips are essential parts OF a tire.
Some types Of cord castings, accord
ing 70 Miller tire men, use an extra
pair Of these strips as an added in
surance TO the motorist against tire
trouble.
