Novelty Barometer Has Sales.

Becoming ones own weather man is

of household barometers are any indica-

duced in that line is a pedestal barome-

The instrument is about five inches high
and in plain black color or brass. The
face of the dial is about three inches in
diameter and contains two sets of
hands, one indicating hand which re-

other called the "set" hand, Which is
placed over the former. This small

to favor buying UP OF surplus stocks on

no radical change in prices downward

fact the opinion prevails that further
increase may be expected as the time for

Rising Silk Market Causes
Lining Manufacturers to
Hesitate on Prices.

Although lining manufacturers are
preparing new collections for spring.
much doubt as to new prices to be
quoted exists. due to the rising silk
market and demand for low prices. Be-
cause OF the strike now in force. little
difficulty Is being experienced in get
ting limited amounts that manufacture
ers require. but the situation is ex-
pected to undergo a radical change
within a few weeks, when other manu-
facturers enter the field for spring buy
ing. The lining industry is greatly
curtailed at the moment because of
non-productlon of fur coats, as fur
manufacturers are awaiting the repeal
of the 10 per cent. fur tax. which goes
into effect at the first OF the year.
Little Feared From Corporation.
Small attention apparently is being
given by manufacturers of cloth to the
recent development OF the retailers
cooperative manufacturing idea. 1t is
doomed to failure, according to certain
larger manufacturers, because smaller
retailers in towns and villages cannot
operate on the basis of larger ones
Because Of that fact they would ulti-
the regularly organized manufacturing
units for their supplies. Retailers,
under the plan, would also have to in
vest much more capital to produce
merchandise, which would also act to
discourage retailers from espousing the
plan. it is said.

WE SHALL SEE.

Those who have been trying to make all the trouble possible for the Administration in Alaska objected to inc fisheries bill proposed in the Britt Resolution because it charged among other things that it's commission would be too costly The bill proposed by Senator Britt would create com mission of three members with salaries of $1,2oo each and a Director of Fisheries at salary or $5,0OO-making a combined salary list for the com mission of $S,600.
 Delegate Sutherland has introduced a fisheries bill providing for the government of the fisheries in Alaska by commission of five members, four ot whom are to receive salaries of s4,500 each and one to get a salary of $6, 6,000-makng a combined salary list for the commission of $24,000.
 If the trouble makers were sincere in their op- position to the cost of the Britt measure and were not simply trying to make trouble for the sake of making trouble, they will oppose the Suther- land Bill.
 While The Empire has always contended that small commissions preferable to large ones it believes there will objection to the Sutherland Bill the part of those who really desire to this of the proposed membership of five, account of the salaries aowed-howbet, they would prefer the arrangement in the proposed by Senator Britt The test of the Sutherland Bill will be whether not it gives the people of the Territory authority amend the bill and to take fisheries control whenever that may seem to be wise to the Territorial Legislature.

Education For All.
(Cinclnnati Enquirer. ]

(CinclnnaLI Enquirer.)
 Dean Alfred Vivian, College of Agriculture Ohio State University is champion of vocational educa- tion There is sincerity free from all suggestion of subtlety in his arguments.
 Perhaps the pernicous thought that has grown up with education is that it's primary is for those who do not work with their hands"
 This thought dominated centuries of intellectual struggle to the deriment of millions of aspiring human souls who perforce, grubbed and gleaned where they might have scared and sung.
 Education in democracy must dignify labor, and not make it thing to be despised. It de- stroy the idea that learning is monopoly of the few and demonstrate that it is the right of all.
 To know is to live and it is the right of the children of democracy to be born to equality of portunity and to live. We beginning to under stand that this is not socialism, but To per petuae the archaic idea that cultural liberal edu- cation can have nothing in common with industrial affairs in this day economic imbecility The controlling factors in art, science, government are vocational today trade has ceased be thing of routine drudgery Mathematics physics chemistry biology etc, have taken the vesture and symbosms of power identified with Latin Creek and the rest of the group of cultural studies Mathematics and manure may not suggest aesthetic alteration but in this day of mighty practical de velopment it does suggest progress and power; for as the Dean points out, the most important occupa tions of today represent and depend upon applied science and economies
 The subject is worth wider discussion than is pos stble in a single article, and further attention will be given it in these columns time to time for il agreed that the feeling becoming more emphatic that rich poor alike must do something for tho good of the state, and that it no longer is enough that man should be educated; he must be educated for something
