Name Of Labrador.

1t is believed that Labrador was so
named because Portuguese explorers
thought the natives would make good
laborers, or because of the labor re-
quired to make a living there. The
name is connected with the old Span
ish name for labor The Labrador
coast was discovered in the Tenth CEN
tury by Left, the Norseman, but no ex-
plorations were made. 1t was again
discovered In 1897 by John Cabot. Ex-
ploratinns and settlements were made
and the peninsula was named.

Worth Remembering,

The Joy unshared loses half its
sweetness, and the grief borne alone
doubles it's bitterness. We were not
meant for solitude but for sharing,
and when we are enjoined to love our
neighbor, it is for self-preservation as
we'll as for helpfulness.

WHY SOME DYES ARE FAST"
Vegetable and Animal Compounds ST.
perior to Any Products Of the
Chemists Laboratory.

Some dyes are fast" others fade
either when the goods are washed or
when they are exposed to the sunlight,
The faStnesS or otherwise OF color
depends upon the arrangement of the
atoms that make up its molecules. If
these be closely interviewer, neither
light nor wafer can separate them;
but if they are loosely Joined together
light and water make them diSinte-
CRATE. Most of our modern dyes are
derived from coal tar and consist of
atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and other elements. The vegetable
dyes usually contain no ether elements
but carbon. hydrogen and oxygen
That is why, being SO simple, such
colnrS as logwood and natural indigo
are the fastest Of all. The few ami
nal dyes-cochineal, for example
are fast for the Same reason. But
the sO-called aniliu dyes are the prod,

binatiOnS of the atoL,s Of many ele-
ments. There are acid dyes and al
kalinl dyes. and before applying them
to any stuff one must know whether
the cells of this are acid or alkaline
In reaction. For opposites attract,
likes repel. Therefore we must use
acid dyes for alkaline materials and
alkaline dyes for acid materials.

Production in French
Devastated Districts

According to a report which ap-
peared in the Jourree Industrielle,
Of January IA, a comparison is given
between the present production in
the French devastated regions with
that of the pre-war period. The pro-
duction in the coal mines has reached
1907 per cent Of the pre-war out
put; electric-powe- stations, As per
cent; gas plants. 41.33 per cent;
steel plant in blast furnaces. Poll
per cent; foundries, 42.6S per cent:
small metallurgical establishments.
45.3 per cent; and machine betting,
Ats per cent. In the textile indus
tries a fair recovery is noted. Wool
factories are producing 55.S3 per
cent, cotton factories. 1891 per
cent; and in the fax industry. 36.6
per cent Of the pre-war output has
been reached. Fertilizers and glass
factories are reported as producing
Is and 20 per cent, respectively, OF
their pre-war production. The chemi-
cal industry is stated to have re-
covered to 81 per cent of its pre-
war output and sugar and oil mills
to 4.7 and 14.7 per cent, respec-
lively.

NEW LOWS REACHED

NEW YORK. March 1O.-Drives
made on the railroad and steel
shares by professional operators to-
day succeeded in causing liquida-
ton which resulted in declines rang
ing from l to 2 points throughout
the list.
In some instances new low hg-
ures were made for the year. Busi-
ness was more active than IL has
been for months. The Street reeked
with pessimism. The foreign situs-
ton was practically forgotten in the
discussion Of probable dividend cuts
by many companies.
Railway executives are worried
over the inability Of their compa-
nies to maintain their present divi-
dends owing to the falling on In
traffic and the reduced earnings due
to high operating expenses. Ru-
mors concerning the stability OF
dividends on some of the first class
common carriers are declared by
in fact and should not be considered
as propaganda circulated by the
professional bears.
Reduced payments to shareholders
would also give the transportation
companies another reason in eN-,
planning reduction in wages. The
New York Central announced fits in,
