NEW CHANNEL SWEEPER IDEA
Claimed That It Will Be OF Vast I'M
portance In the Maintenance
of Barge Canals.

To aid In the maintenance Of the
New York state barge canal, channel
sweeper has been devised, not here
tofore demanded by the construction
of the older canals, writes Gordon P.
Gleason In Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. AS time goes on and the banks
disturbed by recent excavations as
sumo their natural slopes the need Of
dredging will become less. Investfga-
tons, however, show that within one
year sufficient material may be de-
posted within the canal to make the
available depth of water considera-
bly, less than the prescribed y feet.
An example Of this was found In the
channel east Of Oneida lake. This was
completed in a full l2-foot depth In
1909, yet, in 1917, II was so washed In
with sand that 1t was necessary to re-
move Thousands of cubic yards Of this
material.
To aid in the locating of obstruc-
lions in the canal the state engineer
has designed a novel channel sweeper,
and boat builders have been asked to
submit estimates as to the cost of
these so that three of them may be
placed on the canal
The new sweeper consists of two
boats, each IS feet long and feet
wide. These are placed Is feet apart
and Joined by timbers. An operating
floor 30 feet long and feet wide will
be constructed near the stern, and
suspended from this will be 60-pound
rail, 30 feet long, held by two chains
at each end

CUTTING THIRD SET OF TEETH
Memphis (Tenn) Man, at "a, Is Also
Renewing His Youth and Vigor
In other Ways.

The adage that there Is nothing new
under the sun has been diSproyed by
N. D. Starr, who has cut third set
Of teeth at the age Of eighty-four,
when usually the only new molars,
blcuspids, etc, that can be achieved
are those purchased from dentist,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Mr.. Starr, who Is in the employ OF
the Memphis ArtesIan Water company,
recently found himself in need Of set
Of these artificial substitutes for the
teeth provided by nature. But when
he visited his dentist the price was too
high and he decided to 60 toothless.
However, through one of the unac-
countable happenings which some
times upsets all rules, Mr.. Starr dis
covered that he was cutting II new
tenth. They are almost through now,
although they are not very useful yet,
owing to the fact that his gums are
sore In fashion familiar to all moth
ers Of teethlng infants or to boys and
girls whose second teeth are replacing
their baby teeth, and even the older
boys and girls who proudly announce:
I'm cutting a wisdom TOOTH"
Dentists doubtless will contend
that such thing cannot happen. But
Mr.. Starr knows that he now has teeth
where no teeth were before. More
over, he says his eyeslght is better
than 1t was several years ago, and
that so far from his yigor being i'm
paired by advancing years he feels
stronger and more youthful than he
did when he was seventy.

NEXT WINTERS COAL
DEPENDS UPON MINERS
Government Officials and Coal Men
Watching Conflict Among Union
Workers,

Washington, Aug. 28.-Government
officials and coal men here are watch
ing with the deepest interest the prog
ress Of conflict now on within the
ranks OF the United Mine Workers. On
the outcome Of this conflict depends
next winters coal supply, not only Of
America but of much of the rest OF the
world
On one side in this battle, which is
being fought as bitterly as any nation.
al political campaign, is group of the
more conservative of the miners lead
ers, who want to move slowly. On the
other is a group OF radicals, who
dream of gaining extreme demands at
one stroke.
The radical group favors a program
that amounts to direct action. They
want the six hour day now they want
a considerable wage increase, and, not
the least OF all, naturalization of the
mines They favor striking to win
these demands despite the fact that
naturalization is a political question
and it is che Of the principles Of
American organized labor that there
shall be no strike for political ends.
The agitation for mine strike
which has manifested itself in spora-
die walkouts in the bituminous fields
comes at the same time as similar ag-
itation in Grent Britain, where miners
have gone much further with their
demands for naturalization than they
have here. 1t is suspected that the
two movements are more than coin
cidence, although there is no evidence
to that effect at present
The conservatives among the Ameri-
can miners have voiced virtually the
same demand as their opponents, but
they differ with them on the way to
secure these demands They do not
want a strike this fall because they
know that the time for strike is in.
opportune. Cooler heads among the
miners realize that a strike this fail
would leave the country with the
threat of a fuel famine hanging over
it, which would range public opinion
against the miners. Furthermore the
miners were not as strong after the
strike last November as before It.
Many leaders believe it is better tc
strengthen their ranks before putting
themselves to another test.
Another consideration moving min
ers' leaders is that long period OF
! idleness for miners at this time would
cause many of the men in the ranks OF
the organization to seek jobs in fac
tories. This, OF course, would weak
en- the organization numerically
At present the conservatives among
the miners seem to have the advant
age. They have brought pressure tc
strike agitation and this has been re
fected in a temporary subsiding OF
labor troubles. How long they will be
able to keep this advantage is prob
lematical
SO far as the threatened British
strike is concerned adviees to Goa
men here are that there is an ever
chance that it will not take place. The
British Government has piled up {
coal reserve to care for the country
during a possible shutdown of the
mines, Ut has also prepared steps tC
ideal promptly with the strike.

Hat Skins for Leather.

Several rat skins, tanned by well

making u pair Of gloves, though the
prepared skins are rather thin and
fragile. Some years ago thousands of
rat skins were imported from France
and made into leather, but the manu-
facture was not n commercial success.
A pair OF shoes made from the skin of
the rat proved as soft as the finest kid
but 1t took six skins TO make one pair
