NEW LIGHT IS
 RIVAL TO SUN
English Scientist-Inventor Per- fleets An Apparatus that Pro- duces Rays Approximately Equal to Daylight.

Iondon.--A light which far sur masses any existing arrangement of artificial light and is the closest ap- nroximation to actual daylight ever accomplished, is understood by the American Chamber of Commerce in London to have been perfected here.
 The apparatus consists of a high. mower electric light bulb, fitted with q cup-shaped opaque reflector, the sil- yered inner side of which reflects the lirht against a paras0l-shaped screen placed above the light. The screen is lined with small patches of different colors, arranged according to for mula worked out empirically by Mir. Sberingham, the inventor, and careful ly tested and perfected in the imperial college of science and technology.
 The light thrown down from the screen is said to show colors almost as well as in full daylight. Under the new light delicate yellows were quite distinct, indigo blues were blue. cobalts had their full value, and vio- let's lost the reddish shade which they display in electric light.
 The American chamber says great future is expected for this invention in such cases as the lighting of show windows and art galleries. studio work of all kinds, dye works, tea and to- bacco blending, and many other in- dustries. Color photography also will probably benefit.

 FRANCE FACES 10 YEAR TASK
Lorraine Plants May Quicken Resto- ration of Steel Industry of
 the Country.

valenciennes, France. = Frances steel and iron industry, virtually cut in half by wars ravages, is faced by what engineers estimate to be an eight to ten year task of reconstruc- tion. Details of the problem were re- lated to the correspondent of the As sociated Press, who is visiting the dev- astated regions of France by special government dispensation.
 Engineering experts, however. say the country's steel and iron produc- tion may be quickened by the mineral mining and metal-treating plants of Lorraine, returned to France under the terms of the Versailles treaty. The seriousness of the loss to the industry by war; nevertheless, is heightened by the great necessity for metal construc- ton throughout liberated districts and the dependence of nearly 100000 in- habitants of these regions on the blast furnaces and metal mills for a liveli- hood.

WILL VIEW ALL BEAUTIES
French Claim Right to Feast Eyes on charmers From All
 Lands.

Paris.-"Men have the inalienable right to feast their eyes upon the femi- nine beauties of all nations"
 Such was the reply of the fashion able Epatant club to the protest against the display of English prize beauties at the Marigny theater, when French women rose in indignation and cried:
 Aren't there enough beautiful wom-- en in France?"
 What object is there in beauty un- less it is destined to fascinate men? inquired Maurice de Kobra, speaking on behalf of the club. From the ear Hest times man has never admitted that it is his duty to find his mate within his own counfry's borders. The boulevardiers of Paris and all France emphatically claim the right to well come the beauties Of N nations"

SILVER DOLLAR
 TO 60 TO ORIENT
Exports of Silver Decided Upon by Government to Stabilize American Exchange in Far East Countries.


 Washington.-Si Silver dollars are .o be exported by the government to the Orient and countries elsewhere hav ing the silver monetary standard to stabilize American exchange. An ar engagement has been consummated be tween the treasury and federal re- serve board whereby silver dollars will be released for export to countries that have balance of trade against the United States and where the dollar is below parity.
 This action will save the gold sur plus of the country and will save the gold supply for the gold standard coun- tries so seriously in need of metal. Gold going to the Orient never re- turns, and silver, the authorities agree, will bring greater results in restor- ing the dollar to parity.
 Use of silver dollars for this pur- pose will not be permitted to lower the reserve held against silver cur rency. Silver certificates still can be redeemed in silver dollars at any time on demand. Silver dollars that are free in the treasury will be used for export. They will be delivered against other forms of money to the foreign ex- change of the federal reserve board, which will handle the exports through the Federal Reserve bank in New York.

seeks to please everybody and to win
a place in the working organization
on his or her merits. Everybody is
interested in making the work sat-

for il the house does not make any
profits the employees do not receive
any dividend. The dividends are
raid quarterly. Everybody is work
ing for the good of the service and is
anxious to do things the best way.
There are consultations about when
and how to do things and there is
certain responsibility fixed with diff
ferent persons who see that things
are done as they should be, but If
a person came into The Republican
office and stood around and watched
to see who are the bosses, they would
not see much to indicate who is boss.
The employees operate the business
and the owner is helping around.
When they are in doubt about some
thing they consult him or consult
some one in the working force who
is likely to know what is best to do.

the linotype operators are responsible
for the accomplishment Of that part
of the work. If some new help were
taken in whether they were employees
or both owners and employees they
would work on the same plan. Their
efforts would be like the efforts of
the others. All would be working
for the one purpose of service and all
would have their respective parts to

and the owners would receive the net

the capital, after paying 10 per cent
of it to the employees.
There would be no occasion to

new ENGLAND HAS
LUMBER SHORTAGE
Scarcity ...of... Building
Materials Hurts
Country

BOSTON.-Not only this city but
all the rest of New England is suf-
fering from a shortage of building
materials, according to leading
members of the building trades. Peo-
pie have been urged to build to over
come the terrific demand for tene-
ments, but the contractors, tho they
now report help as fairly plentiful,
cannot get the wherewithal to build.
First there was the lumber short
age, attributed to inability of the
railroads to move the avn boards
and timbers to the large centres of
population. Now dealers say scores
of houses here are standing unfin-
ished because of the scarcity of &C.
ment, which is shipped here largely
from Pennsylvania and New York
state. This is again laid to conges-
tion in transportation In the mean
time the price of cement has scared
about $50 per cent, according to
estimates thought to be conservative.
Owing to this state Of affairs there
are many New England sections
where now,, for the first time in his
tory it is cheaper to build brick
house than "a cement one. In Ports
mouth, N. H., for example, the big
steel sh'pbuilding plant put up
village OF brick houses for
its workers, finding them the most
under prevailing condi-
lions. Previ, us to the time these
houses were built, 1t is said, not a
single brick dwelling house had been
erected in Portsmouth for nearly
helf, a century, altho there was a
large brick-making yard in active
operation just outside the city

TALES OF LONG
AGO

Well, Mr. Editor, l guess was
telling you a little of my history
last week. had got to Illinoy about
ten years old, saw in the papers of
much murder and trouble. Some
people talk that people are getting
worse than they used to be. ! don't
think so. You see when was ten
years old Illinoy was comparatively
q wilderness. About that time there
was gang Of robbers. forty IN num-
Der had a cave on Rock Island in the
Mississippi river, where Davenport
City now is. They would roam over
the country, rob and steal horses
and cattle. The leaders name was
Murrell. He never robbed. He
killed and then robbed. He said
dead men tell no tales. Well, peo-
pie could not find them out, but
sman man by the name OF Benny
happened to ind the cave, bnt could
not get IN so he hid himself In a tree
and when the robbers went, he
watched them. When they would
come home they would say Sea
Same Open Door" then they could
open the door. So when they all
were, out he tried the door and got
in and examined the cave. Then
they we're captured and punished.
This Murrell would preach and get
an exciting time and make big noises
while his men would be out stealing
horses. : @sserg4T

Blackfoot that know something
about it. A man by the name Of
Davenport got hold of the. island

Of their employees operate under one

can have three bosses or several
bosses in the one plant. That is an
interesting question and it has an in
teresting answer. The matter has
been worked out and Is demonstrated
in The Republican office for period
and it is no longer an experiment.
The people working in The Repub-
lican office have their choice of work.
The choice is not made alone by
them nor by the management, but
by all hands considering it together.
Each one does the work that he or
she has the express preparation for
and the most interest in doing. Each
person qualities to do several kinds
OF work so that in emergency one
can help another. Each person re-
ceives good salary and all the en-
ployes receive share of what Is
known as the employees dividend. 1t
is paid quarterly and constitutes 10
per cent Of the net profit. That
means that each employee geets some
thing like 10h per cent Of the net
profit. For every thousand dollars
Of net profit made by the firm, $500
is used for expansion or building up
the business and 500 dollars is
divided among the employees pro
ratio to their salary. The linotype
operator receiving $40 week salary
receives twice az much Of the en-
Iployes' dividend as the apprentice
boy receiving $40 a week. The new
employees coming on the job are not
eligible to share in the employees
dividend until they pass the period
Of probation, that IL, they have to
prove their ability to do their work
satisfactorily and to get along well
