How Folks Weigh

was carrying a package he'd carry
it with him to the scales and be al
together nonchalant about it; eX-
cept one laborer, who had pair Of
giant garden scissors with him. He
weighed himself with and without.
The women who do stop to weigh
themselves do it in groups; the men
are usually alone. but whether or no
they stand one behind another, sin
gle file, to wait their turn. (Here
again you see woman's disruptive in
fluence.) Well, the ladies giggle and
hesitate, hesitate and giggle-during
which time they transfer such
things as purses and small boxes,
which weigh, at the outside, a quar-
ter of pound. They ascend the
scale, but without the nice neatness
of the men They look-and laugh.
Every blessed one of 'em!
One woman was accompanied by
her husband whom she loaded with
three really sizable packages and
competent looking pocketbook Then
she weighed herself-and smiled.
do not make these generaliza-
tons rashly; they are scientifically
arrived at-by experimental obser-
walton, watching ten minutes by the
watch.
The New York herald., 1922-07-30
Bloody williamson

in Williamson county, which got into
the news more than twenty years
ago, followed an attempt of Samuel
I. Brush, coal operator, to work
his mine with non-union negroes
brought in from Tennessee. Several
negroes and woman were killed.
Officers and other members of the
union who were charged with MUIR
der got a change of venue to John
son county and were acquitted.
Brush tried to run his mine on a
non-union basis for time, but
eventually sold out to the Illinois
Central interests, and the United
Mine Workers triumphed.
Across the line at Ziegler, in
Franklin county. Joseph Letter tried
to operate his mines "non-union. !"
but explosions and shootings dis
couraged him and he sold out to

For some years Emily Grant
Hutchings, the author of Indian
Summer" which has just been pub
lished by Alfred A. Knopf, has had,
in her capacity as art editor of
large newspaper, to advise women's
clubs on art material for their
programs" In Indian Summer"
she has drawn largely on her expe-
rience with club women in certain
small towns in New York and IlIi-
nois, as well as in the large city
in which she is at present located,

to inform you of this, but
such is the fact: about two-thirds Of
the persons passing by the large
free scale on the north side Of
Chambers street, east of Broadway,
stop to stand in line and wait to

rapidly, stands still an instant then
cocks his head to read. Many Of
them squint or close an eye to look
at the big, round, numbered but
somehow very blank face of the
scale. Infrequently man is incred-
ulous so he glances hurriedly and
angrily to the ground. Maybe one
of the gamin shoe sinners is weigh

but no; guess he does weigh that
much; so off he steps and goes, very
serious withal.
And if it happened that a man
