HUMANIZE INDUSTRY.
Build Men and Women as Well as
Products.

These are the fundamental
thoughts back Of the new and
broader vision held by many large
manufacturers throughout the coun-
try, in promulgating closer rela-
tionship between industry and labor.
Vast sums of money are beng
spent by industrial enterprises for
the welfare of their employees, but
perhaps nowhere in the world is
there a concern doing more for its
employees than The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber company of Akron which
now has 5000 on its Akron payroll.
As illustrative Of this company's
attitude towards its workers, Good
wear Hall, the new two and half
million dollar recreat:onal institution
and industrial university of the COM
nany, will be formally dedicated on
Saturday, April i. It IS said to De
one Of the most pretentious build
.lgs ever erected BY . concern solely
loy the welfare Of rs employees.
The principal feature Of the new
building is the establishment of
Goodyear's Industrial University.
With faculty Of IL college pro
fessors it already has al enrolment
Of 400. The university has 20
class rooms. four large laboratories
and large assembly and lecture
rooms. All forms Of study are en-
braced in the curriculum and rudi-
mentary grade school classes and
Americanzation classes for the
foreien-born, to standardized col
legiate post graduate courses for
those desiring to round out lncom-
pleted college careers. \. c. Hor-

this way and that by the conflicting
currents. Hilary forced his wry toward
her and dragged her into the alley.
There she broke down; she fell upon
her knees In the mud, rocking to and
fro and moaning.
Hilary bent over her. Lafe saw that
his face was stern. Il am going to take
you home" he said.
She looked up at him piteously. She
appeared to recognize him. but was too
terrified 10 understand. He drew her
to her feet and, with Lafe on the other
side, they began to make their way
quickly toward the beach by a narrow
passage among the cottages
But as they started Lafe looked back
and saw, wedged in the crowd behind
them. Jean Baptlste. He had been try
ing 10 reach the girl. but II was impos-
sible TO move a foot In that struggling
human torrent. He saw them, and his
eyes We're dilated with impotent fury.
There was murder In them as they fell
upon Hilary. Lafe shuddered.
His impulse was to wait for the man.
but he recognized that Baptiste was
beyond all reason and self-cOntrol. He
had misinterpreted Iilary's action ;
the only thing now was TO elude him
and get the girl away before Baptlste
could follow. He was glad Hilary had
not seen Baptiste. He meant to say
nothing Of IT,
The three set out on their way,
Marie M first sobbing and holding
back. then gradually growing calm un-
der Hilary's assurances. and at last
going willingly. Her dress was drsg
gled with mud, her finery awry: she
looked pitiful and frightened. Hilary
felt n great wrath growing in him as
he looked at her. At last they gained
the shore road and presently reached
Marie's cottage
She felt In her dress for the key

from her and opened the door. "Never

She went inside. Lafe and Hilary
waited till the lamp was lit and,
through the torn shade, they saw Marie
Dupont crouched before the stove, her
face on her arms.

he said.
"She's had her lesson"
Il hope so. I've seen enough this
evening, Lafe. II makes me sick to

Look to Your Boomlp

ner toward himself, attributed II to his
personal distress at what had hap
pened In Ste. Marie. He did not know
that Baptiste was aware of his pres
ence there, and felt happy in the col-
sclousness that he had done him some
service. Nothing would have pleased
him better than to have seen his suit
with Marie Dupont successful.
The Strengthening Of the boom was
finished. The wooden structure had
been immensely fortified with great
trunks. lashed and nailed together,
resting In concrete which had been

on either side of the cataract. Hilary
examined and approved of the work.
1t seemed to remove all possibility of
danger.
Everything depended on the first
minute after the jam was broken. II
the torrent could be carried off through
the sluice gates, In the main, the logs
would find an easy passage over the
dam into the lake. But actually the re-
enforced boom seemed TO resist the
torrent without any likelihood Of
breakage.
The charge was to be exploded at
three In the afternoon. That day Hill
airy was kept busy in his office, going
over the pay roll In preparation for
the October changes. Gangs of men
had been returning from the south
shore and he had signed on numbe-
He was aware that some of Brous-
seau's agents had been at work at
tempting To dissuade them; however,
the men wanted work. and even
Brousseau could not hire them and
keep them idle upon his skeleton COM
pany at Ste. Marie. Hilary discov-
cred that the Ste. Marie enterprise ex-
listed only upon that OF st. Boniface,
and, like the parasitic plant, withered
when Its prop and sustenance was
withdrawn.
Ii was two o'clock by his watch
when he pushed his papers aside and
strolled up the path that led through
the woods toward the gorge. Hilary
had left st. Boniface behind him and
was approaching the gorge. from which
he could hear the shouts of the gang
making preparations for the discharge,
when he saw Madeleine Rosny riding
along the road toward him.
She had evidently been TO the Ste.
Marie territory. and. he suspected. on
visit TO Brousseau, The path was

the wooded gorge on one hand and a
steep. shelving ascent, overgrown with
young spruce and pine. upon the other.

She was a practiced horsewoman,
for none other could have kept her
seat when the horse went rearing
backward: but 70 amount of skill
could avail unless the beast were got
under control before the downhill into
the village was reached. There was
a gate across the track, which Hilary
had closed. Flung over this. it would
be miracle If the girl escaped with
her life.

reach her with his arms, but he could
not stop the bolting animal; and then
he was flung free, and the riderless
horse went galloping down the road
toward st. Boniface.
He must have been stunned for
few moments. for when he opened his
eyes he found himself lying upon
ledge llttls distance from the top of
the steep bank. On the same ledge
was Madeleine Rosny clinging TO
swaying sapllng that overhung the
river, and trying to rise.
Hilary scrambled to his feet. to find
that, in spite Of painful bruises, he
was uninjured. He gave Madeleine
his hands and pulled her out of the
branches; and they stood looking at
each other.
"Your horse bclted." explained
Hilary. II am sorry you did not know
about the dynamiting."
At his words look Of fear came
upon her face; and then II hardened
and her gray eyes flashed angrily.

pull her from her seat. Hilary saw
Nanette protesting angrily; he could
not hear Baptiste's excited exclama-
tions, but he heard family the scream
that came from Marie's lips. At once
there was a general movement toward
the group. Some OF the lumbermen
interfered. Baptiste turned upon them
with menacing fists. The little man
was beside himself with fury. Then
Simeon came waddling down the room

At first they were not recognized

Use AMMONIA TO PUT
OUT GARAGE BLAZES

Almost everyone knows that a gaso-
line or oil fire cannot be put out with
water, which will only spread the
flame and make matters worse. The
only way to extinguish such blazes
is smother them, and II has been
found that flour. sand and dirt are the
most effective agents for the purpose
or course. every garage ought to
be equipped with a fire extinguisher
OF some kind. The cost of the handy
pump variety is SO small In proper
ton to its usefulness in case of fire
that IL Is foolish to consider the
matter of cost at all. 1t Is a good
thing to know, however, that plain
ammonia is a most effective enemy
OF flames, especially the fierce flames
resulting from gasoline burning. Am
monia gas merely nils tho space and
smothers the fre. In this connection
a hint can be taken from the ex-
perienced handlers OF large quantities
of gasoline and oils, such as the sub
