WEST DULUTH IS HOME OF LABOR;
HUNS AND BUzzES WITH INDUSTRY
Many Workers Are Home Owners; Housing Conditions Good
and People Generally Are Happy; None Very Poor and No
Idle RIch Which Makes Healthy Community.

1.-THE Workshop of Duluth" is
fitting slogan for West Duluth.
Located there are the city's chief
industries-iron works, machine
shops, foundriee, carbolite plant,
blast furnace, match factories,
novelty works, coal docks, sash
and door factories, saw mills, box
factories, railroad shops and a
number Of other important enter
prises.
Further are the shipyard, the
steel plant, the cement works. lun Der
yards, a paint factory in course of
construction and fabricating plant.
From the ore docks to Fond du Lac,
which includes Oneota. West Duluth.
Riverside, Morgan Park, Gary and
New Duluth $4,000 people are housed.
This is 25 per cent Of the population
Of Duluth.
Housing Conditions Good.
The vast majority of these people
are workers in the real sense of the
| word. The territory is possessed of
very few rich men. Many of the
workers own their homes. At River
side and Morgan Park the houses are
owned by the companies. There are
few tenements or apartment houses
in the western portion Of the city and
| living and housing conditions are ad-
mitted to be above the average.
In the retail district Of West Duluth
there are many fine stores, banks and
office buildings where the ordinary
wants of the people are readily satis-
fed. The Duluth hospital, operate
by DR.. Graham, is located there.
Further west is the Morgan hospital,
owned by the Minnesota Steel COM
pany, and open to emergency cases
to all people, whether employees of the
company or not.
Good Transportation.

Duluth-the Northern Pacific, 500,

sabt and Northern. Street railway

running direct from Duluth, bringing
cars at short intervals. accommodate

their meetings there, chief Of which

in the late '9Os at the time when the
city was building the pumps for tho
city water plant. When the railroad
machinists joined the union it ceased
to meet in West Duluth and changed
to the West End where most Of them
lived.
However, West Duluth IS still the
home Of several strong labor organi-
cations. The Blacksmiths' and Help
ers' union meets there in Victor hall,
on the second and fourth Saturdays
Of each month. Foundry Employees

on the second and fourth Wednesdays

Among the newly organized unions
is the Maintenance Of Way Employees.

employees on the railroads running into
Duluth. This union meets at Victor
hall on the first Sunday of each month.

one but herself the hour was tinged
with romance. for Caroline's sisters

If Caroline thought of the long days
In France when she had waited for a
letter from Earl, she gave no sign.
Some hidden. almost psychic, force
seemed projected from the entire fam
lily, pushing her into the arms of the
man who was coming. There was to
be. evidently, no escape.
In through the open window drifted
the fragrance of lilacs. and ever after
ward Caroline associated them with
this hour. Suddenlysthe bell rang and
all eyes focused on Caroline. Again.
she felt their influence as she rose
slowly and left the room. 1t was long
before she returned.
For when Caroline with fingers that
were cold, opened the door, she drew
back stunned, with short gasping
cry.
A splendid, tall young man, quiet
eyed and smiling, stood on the step,
his hat in his hand. Caroline drew
into the twilight of the hall and was
in turn drawn into the shelter of his
arms.
Many seconds later, Caroline put the
question, "How did you find me?"

Later, u much astonished family was

grcwn young and happy, hung on to
his arm and called him Bruce dear"
"How about Earl?" asked Alice
bluntly.
''Oh, you look out for him." said Car
oline absently. But Alice took her ad.

Truth to tell, Caroline never thought
of him as living. So very few of those

against her acceptance of Earl. And

IMPRESSED ON BRAIN CELLS
Almost InnumerabIe Records Arc
Made During the Lifetime Of
the Ordinary Individual.

1t is generally computed by scien-
lists that one-third Of a second is re-
quired to produce an impression" on
the human brain, and the brain is
constantly receiving and recording I'M
pressions during every waking mo-
ment of persons life. Therefore.
assuming that he has slept one-third
of the time. man Of fifty years has
recorded In his brain cells no less
than 3.155. 100000 separate impress
sions. These impressions are as per-
manent as photographs. and not one
is ever lost, though 1t may be mis-
placed. SO to speak, and that Is all
that happens when something is for
gotten" The impression is safe
enough In the brain, If one could only
put his hands on it. Poor memory
is simply the result of bad filing
system.
The average weight of the male
brain is 491a ounces and of the female
A ounces. The woman's brain has a
higher specific gravity. The man has
large brain In proportion to stature,
but woman's brain is larger in proper
tion to her weight. The difference be-
tween the weight of brain in man
and woman is much more marked
among civilized than among primitive
races, and is most marked in the Cau-
casian race. The female brain begins
to lose weight after the age of thirty,
but that of n man does not do so un-
til ten or fifteen years later. The loss
in woman is very slight. however. and
she keeps up a high brain weight
much later-until seventy-than does
n man, so that In old age the differ
ence in weight is reduced to its min
imum, which is little over three
ounces.
When brain falls to weight of
37h ounces in man or 321s ounces in
woman it is called microcephalic,
and the general rule is that below
these limits idiocy exists. There is,
therefore. just five ounces less amount
of brain matter needed to keep wom-
an from idiocy than is needed for a
man. The clear inference is, there
fore, that the woman's 44-ounce brain
is quite as good as the mans brain.

the Jackson would above all else
be dependable and those who have
put this we'll known car to the test
have not been disappointed. It is
designed for greatest efficiency and
there is little wonder that it is in
such great demand.
The Monroe has been a favorite
to the local public. It has withstood
every test to which a modern car can
be subjected. Dependable quality is
built into every car and it has a
nationwide reputation for being the
equal of many cars that sell for a
