several such places exist down below

"hll the women get married in the
mill villages Of South Carolina, and
at an early age" says a Y. w. c. A.
industrial secretary stationed at Green
vile, where she works among the girls

Perhaps economic independence has
sOmething-to do with it, as marriage
is not looked upon by the girls as a
meal ticket, but as a tifty-fifty PROPOSE
ton. The wives do not give up their
jobs but keep right on working
That the textile industry in South
Carolina absOrbs a large number of
women as well as men workers is not
surprising considering the fact that
there are as many as Is mills in %
counties. With the population of the
state estimated at 1,500,015 people, CO.
904 are mill workers, and 190,26S are
dependents on mill pay. The valu-
alton of the mills is $75,OOO,0O0 and the
weekly pay roll is $1,000000.

The Ewes of the MordelIa,

There IS a beetle, which entomolO-
gists call the mOrdella, that is pro-
vided with enough eyes to outfit a
company of ordinary animals. 1t pos
sesses $4,000 little eyes, and it can see
out of the back of It's head.
Under q lens these multitudes of
eyes are very beautiful. They give off
cleaning prismatiC ColOrs. A micro
scOpic examination reveals what looks
like a section of honeycomb, and each
of these seemingly unlimited number
Of eyes has a perfect lens system.
Probably next to the magnificent
mordella beetle the ordinary common
dragon fly ranks for its remarkable
supply of eyes. This insect is said to
have no less than 10000 eyes.
The horsefy, too, has eyes by the
thousand, and its head IS one mass Of
microscopic optics.

LEAD WORLD IN TELEPHONES
Americans, With Their Business In.
stinct, Have Naturally Taken
Kindly to the instrument.

The telephone is an American in.
vention, and we Americans have
learned to use it better than any
other people. Four-ffths Of the
worlds telephones are in the United
States. No other country has the ex-
change system developed to give such
convenient service. In some of the
most progressive European countries
the exchange system is so cumbersome
that it usually requires ten or fifteen
minutes to get a connection.
The telephone in this country has
expedited the transaction of bust
ness. Without our efficient tele-
phone service, the work of most of our
great industries would be slowed up
and made more expensive. No other
country has a rural system that
compares with ours. The telephone
has definitely affected and nodded our
business methods and our social and
domestic life.-Alfred Westfall, Colo.
