MEASURING CLOTH
BY MACHINE
McCollurn Bros Install Latest
Device In Their Store

In keeping with their progressive
policy, McCollum Brothers have IN
stalled in their store on Main street
several machines that will prove a
great benefit to their customers These
machines are to measure the ciofh
sold over the counter and are called
Measuregrapfs. The operation is
simple one, the end of the cloth being
put into the machine and pulled
through. There are two meters on the
top Of the measUregraph, when ootn
the salesman and customer can see.
One meter shows the exact amount OK
the cloth that has been pulled through,
while the other meter shows how.
much the cloth is worth, at any price
per yard Any length can be meas
ured in this way, and any price goods
can thus be valued. It takes but a
glance to see how much the cloth is
worth, which is, a vast improvement
over the old way of sitting down ana
figuring out how much III yards OF
cloth would be worth at $1.73 per
yard
|. 1t is an improvement over the old
yard stick, too, in that the customer
gets the exact number Of yards called
for and is not liable to return home to
find that by the carelessness CT the
clerk She had lost several inches in
measurements. Another good point
about this machine is that it does away
with the old method of hacking at
good cloth with pair Of scissors. The,
cloth is cut by the machine and then
can be torn with the thread and a
straight piece Of goods is thus assur-
ed. McCollum Brothers will be glad
to show their customers just how this
machine works and how much bene-
fit it will prove to the store, the clerk
and the customer,

from every community does not. He
is drowned because the elders of his
town and his family have failed to
make provision for his learning to
swim under safe conditions: because
they are ignorant Of the joys and

in the king of water sports, or are ig-

Late years have seen a marked in
crease in general intelligence with re-
gard to swimming and in general en-
joyment OF it, but there is much pro-
gress possible still.

proper swimming places for its people

CRIPPLED COLLEGES

3 An inquiry into the present plight

live on professional salaries and are
taking industrial positions, which pay

cent more than they have been get.
ting.
Teaching forces have been so much
depleted by such designations that
many technical schools are obliged to
place limit on the size Of their en-
tering classes.
The natural outcome is that facili-
ties for turning out wel1-equipped
leaders of the future life: and work
of the nation are deteriorating just
when they ought to be improving.
This is all the more serious because
it is the opposite of the situation pre-
vailing in other important countries.
Elsewhere, more attention than ever
before is beins given to the up-build-
ing Of educational systems and the
production of generation Of men
specially trained to cope with the
economic and political problems of
the new age.
< ~
The American public has awaken
ed somewhat to the need Of more lib
eral salaries for public and high school
teachers, but this policy as yet has
been of little help to the colleges. In
some ways it has been to their dis
advantage. In the agitation in behalf
Of elementary institutions. the higher
institutions have been lost sight of.
This attitude must change if Ameri-
cans hereafter are to hold their DOM
inant place in a progressive world.
Thorough education is going to be
needed more than ever before, and
any generation not possessing it will
lose in the keen world-conspetition.

PRESIDENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS

Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, sets
forth the following qualifications for
the next, president of the United
States
''He must be able, wise and we'll
informed, of unquestioned honesty,
morally and Intellectually, eminently
fair and impartial, frank and
sincere, broad-minded, deeply SYM
patheMc, courageous, sturdy and

ton and the law Of the United States. !"
This might seem at first blush an
impossibly high ideal. But not so!
There is not single candidaIe, out
of all the crowd Of presidential as.

that he measures up to it, and every

ENGINEER IN PUBLIC LIFE.

DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz, the dis
tinguished electrical engineer, in a
commencement address at. big sci
entifc school, lamented the small part
taken by engineers in our public life.
This, he said, is distinctly the age
of engineering, just as certain Prev
Gus epochs have been ages Of artistic
culture, law or religion. ut is the ad-
vance Of science and engineering
which in our time has made the good
things of the world available to all,
and has given to the masses stand
ard Of living superior to that enjoyed
by the few in the former ages.
He deplored the fact that so few
engineers are found in legislative bod
les and on State and national commits
sions, even when these deal primar-
lily with engineering problems.
1T is not that the engineer does

NOR that the public does not appre-
ciate him. 1t is that. unfortunately,
too many engineers are not competent
to take their proper places as lead
ers Of this engineering age
Speaking in this fashion, Dr. Stein
metz is probably over-modest as to
the merits Of his profession. There
are undoubtedly large numbers OF
engineers who are competent to take
conspicuous places of leadership in
the nations public life The chief
difficulty seems rather that the pub
