GOLDEN RULE
in BUSINESS"
BY S. B. Hedges

Member Carpenters Union No. 637
The golden rule idea in business
might sound visionary, or a trife too
altruistic to work well in actual bus
mess. But is it? 1t spreads the cost
OF depression more evenly over a
given community; instead of just a
portion of its members carrying the
entire cost.
1t is quite true that some of a
community's members do carry the
cost of slack times uncomplainingly.
But is the community treating them
in a fair manner? All members form
some portion OF community's life,
and render some service needed in
helping carry on.
What might be called the Austral-
ian idea may sound little far fetch
ed, a little revolutionary in it's con-
cept, a little too drastic in its enforce
ment; but it helped nation to carry
on, at a time when it seemed very
dark to its men who were wealthy
enough to carry on themselves and
get by. But, the most surprising
thing about the whole business, was
that it actually increased the volume
of business, and giving more en-
ployment to more than double
the number of wori.ers. thereby in
creasing the communitys prosperity
The Australian idea is all employ
ers Were required by law to increase
their force of W kers just double
Then furnish them work Two
gangs; working one gang this week,
and number two gang nrXt week
Wednesday forming the end of a
week, Sc each gang had portion Of
pay day on each week In actual
practice it increased the volume of
work, increased the good will between
employers and employs, thereby all

sAvE.ThE-FoREsT CAMPAIGN.

AS soon as President Harding ap-
pointed May 22 to % as Forest Pres
eryation week. the Boy Scouts of
America Immediately offered their
services In promotion OF the cause to
which they have all along been def
nitely committed When the secre
tary of agriculture wrote requesting
the cooperation Of the organization
the national council, through its chief
scout executive, gladly accepted the
task and urged it's scout leaders all
over the country to get busy at once.
The plan is to have every scout troop
promise to plant trees and care for
them, as many have been doing for
some years past, to spread forest fire
prevention propaganda throughout the
country and get as many people as pos
sible In and out of the scout move
ment actively enlisted In this impor-
tant cause.

THE GREATEST BRIDGE TO
DIXIE

THIS masterpiece OF engineering,
i which spans the Ohio river be-
tween Metropolis, Illinois, and Padu-
cab, Kentucky, Is q link In a low
grade rail line from Puget sound to
Florida. 1t is the largest bridge con-
Meeting the states bordering on tire
Ohio and one of the noted bridges
OF the world.
You can gain some idea Of the size
Of this mastodOnic affair, when you
understand that 33.678,S28 pounds Of
steel. 9S.382 cubic yards Of concrete,
5,7O7 600 feet, board measure, of
lumber, 2,O6S, 600 pounds Of corrugated
bars and 14S635 barrels Of cement
were used in Its construction. The
approach to the south end contains
$4,000 cubic yards of earth.
1t contains the longest simple span
In existence-72O feet. The bridge
proper is one mile and 500 feet long.
II Is supported by seven piers. the
largest OF which Is 90 by ITO feet at
the bottom and 185 feet high-larger
than the average skyscraper. The
total height OF the bridge from the
bottom Of the pier to the top Of the
steel Is 312 feet.
Some of the steel beams were 20
long that three forty-foot fat cars
were necessary to successfully trans
port them from the place Of manufac-
ture to the point of duty. The bridge
cost $8,1OO, OOO-before the days OF
the high cost Of living.

helping to carry on the burden of
unemployment. Society's greatest
burden when it falls on the. same
shoulders from year to year, few
needlessly carrying the burden, it is
practical working of the golden rule
in business for the betterment of bus

community's welfare, the need of
gaining an actual betterment of a
community's welfare, the need of
charity being lessened; an increase of
loyalty among workers, provoking a
new sense of self Prospect. A better

CAR OF SMOKE STACK
WORLD

THERE are some smokestacks that
1 are unbelievably big-too big to
be true-but the one recently com
pleted for the reduction works of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company at
Anaconda. Montana, sets up a new
world record
The concrete base on which this
gigantic structure stands required 118
cars of crushed rock, so cars of sand
and 20,890 sacks of cement to com
plete and weighs approximately $3.50
tons.
The stack proper is constructed of
specially shaped blocks or bricks
about two and one-half times the size
of the ordinary brick and it took q
464,6 of these larger units to com
plete the job.
To make the mortar necessary to
lay these brick required II cars of
sand, 81 cars of fire clay and 1880
sacks of cement. The estimated
weight OF the brick work is 3,S10
tons.
The exterior diameter of this smoke
and-gas elevator is SO feet at the base
while the interior diameter al the top
tapers down TO so feet. The wall Is
% inches thick at the top. The max
imum height of the stack and its base
is 585 feet " inches.
Smokestacks of extreme size are
desirable and in fact necessary, In con
nection with certain classes of mining
operations, to prevent the destruction
of vegetation by the extensive guam
titles of strong and poisonous fumes
and gases which result from the re
ducing operations.

STRIKES
Harmful to Cause of Labor

Indianapolis. Unauthorized or
stampede strikes" says the United
Mine Workers Journal, "cast dis
credit upon the union and prevent its
progress There are men within the
ranks of the union who are cunningly
contriving to destroy the labor organ
izations from the inside. These men
must be made to conform to the dis
cipline of the trade union movement
by carrying out trade agreements"
The stampede" strike is a basis for
providing evidence to legislative com
munities on which to hang compul-
sorry arbitration laws, can 't-strike"
legislation and other legal methods to
enslave labor The persons usually
responsible for them know the pur-
poses for which they are hired, and
they are on the job to deliver the
goods.

THE FATHER OF WATERS

COUNTING the longest branch as
~ part of it, the Mississippi is
the longest river in the world Her
nando de Soto lake and not Lake
Itasca, as commonly supposed, is now
considered by some authorities as its
place of beginning.
There is a difference Of l,470 feet
between the elevations of its mouth
and OF its head and during It's journey
from Minnesota TO the Gulf Of Mex
leo the temperature depending upon
the season, sometimes varies as much
as 100 degrees.
It's waters wash the soils Of ten
states. In the vicinity of Red river,
Louisiana, the volume of it's flow is
estimated to exceed 100000 gal
Ions per second.
The Wisconsin. Des Moines. Illi-
nols, Missouri Ohio, White, Arkansas
and Red river systems as well as
large number of "lesser lights" with
their myriads Of tributaries, flow into
Ii. These rivers carry drainage from
% of the 4S states. This tremendous
watershed has an area of 1,240, 900
square miles or 41% OF the entire
United States
The Mississippi Is navigable for al
most Its entire length or from st. Paul
TO the Gulf
Large numbers OF passengers are
transported between local points and
tremendous quantities of freight-prin-
cipally grain cotton, live stock, coal,
lumber, logs, provisions, stone, gravel
and sand are carried upon its sur
face. The river freight at the port
of New Orleans, during recent year,
Appropriated 1,0O0.000,0OO tons.

HIGH ADVENTURE.

Two parties Of boy scouts of San
Jose, California, went camping, one
to the top of Mount Hamilton, the
other to the highest point in the
Santa Cruz mountains. When darkness

built by members Of Troop 4. The
distance covered was only little
short OF fifty miles and both stations
were above the clouds at the time
when the message was interchanged.

BOY SCOUT FRIEND TO TREES.

Every boy scout is a pledged con-
servationist. He will not only run
the risk of being responsible for for
est fire himself, but he will preach the
hows and why's Of forest fire preven-
ton wherever he goes. He will not
willfully hack or injurer trees in any
way, and he viii interest himself in
fighting tree enemies of all sorts like
the pine blister and the tent caterpil-
lar. The trees are his friends and he
is ready TO do them a good turn when
