Engineers Seek Uniform Boiler Law

ment. IF all boilers were made In
accordance to well-known principles,
boiler explosions would be of rare
occurrence.
'In an effort to secure the univer-
sal adoption of this code in this coun-
try the Uniform Boiler Law society
has been organized and has done
great deal more good than shows in
the lists of states and municipalities
that have actually adopted the code,
in promulgating an understanding OF
it and creating sentiment in its ia
vor that will result in rapid falling
into line of the remaining states when
the line is little more pronouncedly
established"
The statement indicated that the
National Board of Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Inspectors is working on sew
eral problems designed to preclude
boiler explosions. These include an
interstate inspection ard the stamp
ing of boilers by the manufacturers.
The latter plan Is intended primarily
to keep a record of boiler from the
time 1t leaves the manufacturing plant
until 1t is strapped.

stance, Rockingham c0nnty, and see
just what good roads did In this sec

say nothing of the prosperity good
roads brought about in various other
ways. Previous to our good roads the
one creamery did some business dur
ing the summer months, when the dirt
roads were at their best, but business
dwindled to nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads to deliver their milk
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time

THE ROMANCE or WORDS
"cocKNEY"


A s USED by writer's of the
4 n word "Cockney" meant
molly-coddle, an effeminate per-
son, a child that had been sock
led" or coddled too much by
Its mother. Then, because the
men who lived In a city were sup
posed to be less virile and
strong than those who lived In
the country, the rural population
commenced to apply the term
to residents of London and
other cities throughout Eng
land. Gradually this meaning
was restricted and localized I'M
til 1t was applicable only to Lon
dOners, or, as one writer of the
period phrases it, particularly
to connote the characteristics in
which the born Londoner is sup
posed to be inferior to other En-
glishmen." The opposite term
the one applied by the townsmen
to the farmer-was "clown,"
meaning a lout, an uncOuth, Ill
bred man.
To-day, the name of Cockney
is applied generally to London
ers but specifically to those of
certain station-'Arry and
'Arriet being typical of the class
which is supposed to drop its
his and to replace them where
they do not belong. But any
one who has come in contact
with the Cockney as he is to-day
will testify to the fact that 1t
is a far cry from him to the
"cockney" of the EliZabethan
period. The London Cockney
may not be well-educated or
Super-refned in his speech-but
he is emphatically not milk
sop. Z!

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
BYE. A. Walker
~ NE of the greatest troubles with
~ the average man is that he does

~ No Oh the greatest IrOuDlcS Will
~ the average man is that he does
not get excited frequently enough.
Excitement is only MULTIPLIED
ENTHUSIASM.
The man who lacks enthusiasm
doesn't get far, whatever road he trav-
els.
One of the chief faults of snail is
that it never has the sensation of ex-
element.
1t crawls along In a seemingly aim
less fashion, and having reached the
nowhere for which it was headed, 1t
stops to contemplate its effectiveness.
Nobody Is ever interested In snail,
and only the dullard copies him.
If you want to see enthusiasm and
excitement in animal life, watch an
ant. Everything interests him. Every
thing has a meaning for him. Every
thing he sees or feels is matter of
investigation and study.
He is excited all the time and &C
complishes something every minute.
Every boy and every man ought to
be excited about what he is doing.
He should be so intensely interested
in it, so thoroughly in love with the
task and its accomplishment, that It's
finish should find him thrilled with
enthusiasm
Can you imagine Edison working
without enthusiasm and excitementf
Can you conceive the feverish eager
ness with which Calico worked
through the night on that first crude
telescope and with what excitement
he took his first look through it toward
the far-off stars? Yet that telescope
was not as powerful as the opera
glass you carry to the theater
Can you imagine with what excite
ment Nine. Curie looked upon the
first tiny speck of radium which she
had distilled from the tons of mate
rial which concealed it'll
THE GLORY OF LABOR is IT'S
ACCOMPLISHMENT
The real wages of work is the salts
faction Of production.
The man who makes machine Of
himself, who finds no interest and no
basis of enthusiasm In his daily task
is little better than the OK.
There is no labor SO mental and no
task so hard that it has not in it
reason for enthusiasm.
The scrub woman whose knees are
calloused and whose arms ache from
her lowly labors may still find dis
tinct pleasure and an actual enthusi-
asm when she sees the glistening
cleanliness accomplished by her hands.
The teamster can be enthusiastic
about his horses and his wagon. The
office boy can get excited about the
rush of business where he Is employed.
Everybody has some reason to get en-
thusiastic and excited about their
work. If they have no reason they
are either following the wrong voca-
ton or they are looking on the world
and It's doings with distorted vision.
If your present work doesn't en-
thuse you, if you cannot get excited
and happy about 1t, find something
else to do. Get another job. Find
something that will stir you up and
rouse your mind and hurry your fingers
and leave you, when the day is done,
anxious for tomorrow and the bigger
accomplishment that it will make pos
sible.
Don't be content TO be snail.
