CONSUMERS STRIKES.


The period of high prices has seen
egg strikes, milk ,ktrikes, butter
strikes, etc, organized by consumers
to boycott particular food product
in the hope of breaking prices. But
it does not appear that prices have
been permantly lowered in any in
stance.
While the consumer has been pay
ing figures that seem exorbitantly
high, the producer may be getting
barely enough to induce him to re-
main in the business. A consumers
strike might be the last straw, and
lead him to sell out.
When prices become extravagantly
high, consumption will inevitably
fall off. But organizing boycott
can result only in driving food pro-
ducers out of business. which VIII
make prices higher still. A more
hopeful effort would be to work out
some plan by which products could
be brought directly from producer to
consumer, saving middlemen's charg-

The Teacher Shortage.

Listen to these figures from the
Chicago High Schools, Mr.. Taxpayer,
you fellow who have been growing
about the cost of schools!
In 1913 out OF 500 girls gradual
ing from or leaving the Chicago
High Schools. 247 became teachers.
In 1918 out of 500 girls gradual
ing from or leaving those schools,
only 94 became teachers.
As that condition prevails every
where you should not be surprised
when you hear that many schools are
having to close for lack of teachers.
If you want your children educated
so they will have fair chance in
life, you will have to pay enough to
teachers to get class of women who
are mentally competent to perform
this exacting work.
A good school teacher must have
education, which costs money, also
mental force and originality. The
teaching profession will never be
filled again. until 1t pays higher sal
aries than the ordinary business po-
sition.

LIGHTS
 FOR ENGINES ARE
 COMING INTO USE

If you have travelled very much on railroads in the past two or three years, you will have undoubtedly mo- ticed that many of the country's lead ing railroads are rapidly relegating to the scrap pile the one time indispens- able il-burning illuminative headlight. and in its place there has come to stay a new electric headlight with it's l. OoO,O00 beam candlepower-
 The electric headlight was at first somewhat troublesome, "esDecialy in railroad yards. for like many other ap- pliances it was .'too good" That is. it was too powerful and it blinded the enginemen and yardmen. This has been overcome, however, by the use of a special dinner, and whenever the locomotive is passing through rail- road yards or when passing another train, the dinner is used and the can dle-power of the electric headlight is reduced to approximately that of the oil-burning headlight
 To provide for the extra lights about the engine. including the electric light for the firemen. as well as the marker and classification lights of the front of the engine, the steam driven dyna- mo mounted on the engine is rated at 500 wats. The engineer also enjoys the electric light nowadays. and by means of the switches and dinner he can control the lights instantly just as desired.
 The electric generating equipment is very compact and takes up but slight space on the locomotive. The dynamo is thoroughly enclosed to guard against the clements but is so de- signed that the electrician can swing open the cover and the brushes and commutator are made instantly ac- cessible for inspection.
