LEATHER BECOMES STRONGER
WITH INCREASE IN HUMIDITY

The strength and elasticity of
leather are greater when the air is
moist than when it is dry, and for
this reason, says the Bureau OF
Chemistry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. it is I'M
portant in making comparative tests
of leather to be sure that all pieces
tested are under the same humidity
conditions. A good piece of leather
tested in a dry atmosphere might
appear to be weaker than much
poorer piece tested when the air was
moist.
Tests made of more than 500
pieces taken from the most uniform
part of the hide, alternate strips be-
ing subjected to dry air and damp
air at a temperature of 10 F..
showed that an increase from 80 per
cent relative humidity to 55 per cent
increased the strength of the leather
10 per cent and the stretch 16 pei
cent. When the humidity was raised
from 35 per cent to rs per cent the
average increase in strength was az
per cent and in stretch So per cent
1t is apparent that control of the
humidity in room where leather Is
tested is necessary if the results are
to be worth anything. The Bureau
of Chemistry has devised such
room in which the amount of mois
ture in the air may be kept uniform
and at any percentage of saturatlor
continuously. 1t is the only testinl
room in the world where the condl
| tions are controlled so well.

new TACTICS
ADOPTED FOR
WAR PRISONERS

New tactics. designed to appeal tc
those of the presidents political adj
visors who have recommended against
the granting of amnesty to wartime
prisoners, have been adopted by the
Children's Crusade.
The latest banner carried to the
White House gates by the Crusaders
readS:[
Mr.. President: How about the pri-
mary elections?
Beveridge
Pinchot
Brookhart?
"The voters demand liberal meas
ures!
why not release the political pris-
oners ?"
On the day this banner was first
displayed, it was announced by the
leaders Of the Crusade. that amnesty
for political prisoners would be made
an issue in the coming political cam
paign.
The Crusaders have been encour-
aged by the results of the primary
elections in Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Iowa to believe that liberal voters
will have a great influence upon the
results in the coming election and
that amnesty can be made an issue
that will swing thousands of votes.
AS the election draws near certain
of the views of political prisoners
will be detached from the picket
squad in Washington and sent into
districts where the parties are fairly
evenly matched to campaign against
the candidates of the party response
BILE for keeping their husbands in jail.
The thirty-siX republican members
of the house, who joined with fifteen
democrats in an appeal to the presi-
dent to release all political prisoners
will not be opposed in their cam
paigns for reelection by the Crusad-
ers.
The reception accorded the Crusad-
ers in every city on their way to
Washington, and the expressions of
public Indignation that came from
every quarter when the president re-
fused to receive them, convince the
leaders of the Crusade that the gen
eral public is ready to listen to their
appeal, if the party in power is not,
and to vote accordingly.
1t has been indicated that the first
political effort of the Crusaders will
be made in the primary campaign in
New Jersey, where Senator Freling-
huysen, a close personal friend of the
president and an opponent of amnes-
ty for political prisoners. is running
for the republican senatorial nomin-
alton.

COOP. BAKERY
BREAD AT COST

The II 900 co-operators of the city
of Southampton, England, have Just
dedicated a model cooperative bak-
cry, according to reports received by
All American Cooperative Commits
sion of Cleveland. This bakery,
erected at cost of S150,000, Will
supply people with bread sclentiflcal-
ly mixed and baked and delivered at
actual cost. From the wheat fields
to the consumers door its products
pays no toll to private profit, since
the flour used is grown by co-opera-
tive mills from wheat grown on the
Canadian farms of the Cooperative
Wholesale society and transported
across the Atlantic by comparatively
owned vessels.
The Southampton cooperative bak-
cry is equipped with the latest auto
matte mixing machinery and travel
ing ovens Capable of turning out
continuously / 400 loaves of bread an
hour. There are also special appli-
ances for making cakes and contec-
tionery.
This model cooperative bakery was
opened to the public with a celebra-
ton indicative of the power of the
British cooperative movement. Flags,
band music. and addresses by public
officials marked the occasion. fol
lowed by a public concert and meet
ing in the evening.
Despite it's present power, the
Southampton Cooperative Society is
poor mans institution. 1t was
started in 1886 by two people with a
combined capital of $50, and located
in little shop near the poor house,
The society has now grown until it
owns grocery stores. meat markets,
and clothing stores. and is preparing
to launch a cooperative laundry and
dairy. AS these cooperative enter
prises have flourished. the business
of the poorhouse has decreased. until
now it is about ready to go out CT

That Humane Weapon.

Brigadier General Amos A. Fries,
chief OF the chemical warfare service
of the United States army, defended
gas as used in war as the most hui
name weapon yet devised, in an adj
dress before Gas manufacturing as
ISOLATION. He cited figures of losses
in the World war TO support his con-
tention and quoted numerous medical
investigators to grove that victims OF
gas were no more subject to tuber-
culosis than other casualties.
Figures without end may be cited
to prove all that the general claims,
but they will not convince the plain
citizen that gas Is humane weapon.

With the Eastern Massachusetts
Street Railway company able to report
surplus of approximately 100000
last year, as contrasted with the def
icit Of nearly 100000 for the preced-
ing year, il is evident that things are
beginning to look up in the business
world. This startling oyerturn was
due in large part, if the published re-
ports can be credited, to an inside
revision, chiefly relating to economies
Of operation. Every concern, If it
hopes for return of prosperity to IT,
self, must undergo this readjustment
following the great world upheaval;
and the concerns, which adopt such a
program early, are the ones which viii
begin earning the dividends again at
the very outset of better times 9th

full force Of the return of prosperity
losing all the early gains, which might
be theirs.
