lawful profession, but he inherited
from his father, besides the small
store off the Piazza iii Spragna. the
knack Of being capable of opening any
safe in the world with the help of =
bit of stiff wire.
Never in his life has he been forced
TO break a safe open. He has been
summoned by people of all nations and
professional men to open safes that
had jammed. But not only private in
dividuals call him; the other day King
Victor Emmanuel needed his services.
The king had left his keys In his pri-
vate safe, where his wonderful collec-
tion of coins is KEEP. He was worried.
rs his favorita amusement every day
is rearrnnging these coins. He was very
much worried until they told him that

Not day passes that inspectors
employed by city. state or federal gov
eminent, do not condemn food of one
kind or another because 1t is unfit for
human consumption. Sometimes this
is due to deliberate adulteration, an
intention to defraud the purchasers,
but more often it is the result of i'm
proper packing. neglect to consider
temperatures to be encountered in
transporting from point OF origin to
destination, or failure to consider the
time which must necessarily elapse
before the product is likely to reach
the consumers tables
All this entails not only great loss
in money, likely to be reflected in
prices demanded OF the public, but
also 1t endangers the public health,
because occasionally some unworthy
article slips through Inspection and is
served as food. Enough food products
spoil every week to form very i'm

where refrigeration is available, is to

the farm has no name. An attractive
advertisement on the box has great
deal TO do with marketing, a fact
proved long ago to the satisfaction Of
shrewd business men.
Small packages are becoming more
and more popular. Two layers Of
chickens in box are being discarded
for single layer, it being realized
that refrigeration is more perfect IL
the .carcasses do not touch, and If

thrust old cocks, broiling chickens and
fowls Unfortunately into big su-

effort TO pack tightly, and so bruising

 A proposal Is advanced to the billion dollars in funds available in the country a whole for road building in 1921 a partial remedy for unemployment conditions throughout the nation. Back of this sensible proposition actively stand the Good Roads Congress and the Good Roads Show to be held at Chicago, February to 12.
 Officials of these organizations affirm that $240,- 800 has recently been appropriated for road work In sixteen states. In addition to this $160 900 900 is available through Federal aid and s276 100000 has been provided through direct leves by states and counties.
 These millions should be expended. Not alone does this proposition appeal measure calculated valuably to assist in meeting the unemployment situation though such procedure comments itself sensible and of wide economic and humanitarian value England is doing this sort of thing. The Secretary of the Ministry of Labor not long nounced that 5000 at work road con struction and that the available fund for such pur- pose is $52,400,00 representing only part of a vast sum similarly to be expended. Other thousands of men will be employed.

(San Francisco ChronicleD

 The President has signed the bill giving mining prospectors an extension of six months in which do their assessment work for 1920, and a great number of worthy men breathe freely #
 Very few outside the mining cult have any con- cepton of the number of engaged in prospecting for minerals of the value of the service which they render to society," the trifing which come to most Of them All the mineral wealth which l stne basis of some of greatest industries was discovered by prospectors, of whom but few have anything to show for it when they die The pros- pecors represent the highest and most persistent optimism of our but very few them can make good bargain or keep money if they happen to get It. And then can only get rich when they happen to discover sure thing, which is not often. It takes money to develop mine, and the prospecor as a fule can only point out where costly expenditure Is justified That only be done by those who can command money and wisely direct it's use And yet all prospectors expect to die rich
 If prospect is found the discoverer is entitled to his reward. But he cannot be allowed to file claim and hold it indefinitely without seeking to develop it. The law, therefore, properly requires that to hold claim the discoverer must do certain amount of work on it every year.
 There is no doubt that during the past year it has been unusually difficult for poor men, which most regular prospectors are to get the means of performing even the very modest requirements of the mlnlng laws The country will approve the few months extension which has been given and wish them all the best kind of luck.
