NJ Ch1cago-Disaster for the striking

follow the threatened walk-out, on
which strike vote is now being taken
by nine railroad labor organizations,
in letter from Ben w. Hooper, chair.
man of the Railroad Labor board to
the union leaders.
Answering letter, from the union
chiefs to the board which declared the
executives would authorize a strike If
the employees demanded it, Chairman
Hooper made categorical reply to the
fierce assaults" on the board for
which he declared there was no
ground.
with the degree of friendly inter
est that l fell in these organizations
and with the recognition l accord to
their great service to their member
ship, am hopeful they will not adopt
a course that will surely prove disas-

tunate to the men composing them"
wrote Mr.. Hooper.
1T is regretable that such a step is
contemplated at time when the coun-

more stable industrial conditions, that

WEIGHING MILK FOR MARKET
Less Trouble Between Producers and
Dealers II Records Are Kept @
at Both Ends Of Line.

Prepared BY the Unitsd States Department
Of Agriculture.) .2
Producers who ship milk to city
distributors have voiced frequent COM
plants because Of the disparity be-
tween their figures on the quantity Of
milk shipped and those Of the dealers
on the quantity received. In order to
locate the cause Of complaint by study
Ing the actual less between the coun-
try shipping point and the city plant
the United States Department Of
Agriculture made an Investigation on
the Baltimore. market Records kept
on more than 100 cans showed that
the loss between the country station
and the city plant was less than I per
cent: The loss on trains, probably due
to spilling, was only O19 per cent; and
from the city railroad platform to the
plant it was O55 per cent.
: However, it was found that when
the milk was weighed in the city
plant there was shortage of 2.56 per
cent on the, amount shipped according
to can measure in the country. OF this
shortage, OLA per cent was due to ac-
tual losses, while 1872 per cent was
the difference between can measure
and weight. This is easily accounted
for by the fact that cans become
dented and battered, which decreases
their holding capacity.
In former investigation by the
department an even greater discrep-

Damascenina Art Revived.

To the father of Zuloaga, the Span.
ish painter, the world is indebted for
the revival Of the Moorish art Of
damascening, according to an article
in Conquest, British magazine Of
popular science.
Senior Zuloaga himself made many
fine pieces and inspired other workers
in this beautiful craft. '"Toledo damas-
cening," as it is often called, Is proc
ess Of incrusting gold upoh steel.
Fine lines are cut upon blackened
steel plate, and into these lines thin
gold wire is beaten with pointed toolS.
The shining gold produces a bril-
liant effect against the background of
dark steel, and when skillfully
wrought into the flowers, :, beasts,
birds, and scrolls in which the Span
ish artist delights, the result is said to
be extremely beautiful, and examples
Of the ware are highly priced by col
lectors.-From the Outlook.

SUCCESS OF "SlLENT nine"
BY Its use Airptane Passengers Arc
Enabled Freely 70 Converse
With Each Other.

A silent airplane engine has at last
been invented.
In recent test the deafening roar
Of the engine and exhaust was COM
pletely eliminated when fitted with
the "Silent Mine," as the new inven-
ton is called.
Passengers will now be able to con-
verse with ease while In the air, and
not be forced to shout at the top Of
their voices. :,
. The "Silent Nine' is very simple In
construction and In principle, says
London Answers. 1t consists of an
expansion chamber fitted to the end
of long exhaust pipe, and arranged
In such a way that the gases from
the engine are cooled Immediately
they leave the red-hot exhaust hole.
This is the secret Of engine silence.
The inventor Is Major Grant, the
superintendent of the Croydon air
drome depot.
One "Silent Nine" can be sold at a
profit for less than f10 ($50), and
already thereIis great demand for It.

Weaving and Spinning.

It is likely that the art of weaving,
in it's most elementary form, was prac-
ticed long before men abandoned the
use Of animal skins for clothing, or
perhaps even before they adopted
clothing at all. No doubt it began
with the first crude attempts Of primi-
tive women to weave twigs into some
kind Of object. z
After they had succeeded in making
baskets and similar articles, It prob
ably occurred to some bright cave
woman that clothing might be made
BY weaving some soft material like
wool, says writer, according to the
Detroit News. To do this 1t would be
necessary to twist tufts Of wool into
long strands Thus the beginning Of
spinning. And 40 the strands Of wool
were not sti6 Ike twigs, Il would Be

time, as far DIS is known, that these
representative organizations of Protes-
tants, Roman Catholics and Jews have
taken joint action in an industrial mat
ter. The churches in their appeal ask
ed the President
To call national coal conference.
To get the facts of the coal industry
through government investigation.
Not to wait until the suffering wom-
en- and children of the mining camps
have become national calamity, and
To end the coal strike now.

PROVIDE PLENTY OF WATER
Cows Must Nave Abundant Supply in
Summer and Winter for Profit
able Milk Production.

Successful dairy farmers find that
it pays to provide plenty Of good,
clean, cool water for milk COWS.
Mghty-seven per cent of milk is wa
ter, as is nearly three-fourths Of
cows body. Experimental data show
that the, amount Of water required by
cows is in direct proportion to the
amount Of milk produced. In the
summer, the average cow will require
nearly three pounds of water for ev-
cry pound Of milk she produces. In
one experiment a COW giving II pounds
Of milk drank n pounds of water
daily. The same cow drank less than
half as much when giving no milk.
In all cases, It Is decidedly good prac-
tice to provide an abundance of clean,
fresh water, cool in the summer and
warm in the winter.

STATE MINES SET RECORD
Iron Ore Shipments Total 7,450 Tons
Cut Rate Helps Moveemnt.

st. Paul, Minn.-Shipments of iron
ore from state-owned mines during the
last week amounted to 177,450 tons,
the largest weekly output for these
mines this season, according to re-
ports of mine inspectors to Ray P.
Chase, state auditor. This amount
also exceeds the amount of ore ship
ped from these mines during any one
week in the past year, the report
points out.
The reduction made during the week
on the freight rate on iron ore from
the mines to Duluth and other upper
lake ports from 81 per ton to &c cents
and a similar cut of the lake rate, to-
gether with reduction by mine opera
tors of so cents a ton on both Besse-
mer and non-Bessemer ores, have
greatly stimulated the forward move
ment, Mr.. Chase said.

SELF-PR0TEC1lCN HER AIM
College Girl Proves She Has a Mind
by Care She Takes to Hide
the Fact,

1t Is time for the college girl to
meet the charges heaped against her.
She Is called frivolous, empty-headed,
and her appearance is considered
wrong in every detail. Now she is
driven to confess that it is all done
for self-protection, writes Olga Owens,
in Judge.
With mind as valuable as hers,
the college girl is not safe. In these
days of constant holdups and rob-
berries, ruthless bandits are waiting at
every turn. How can she go abroad
proclaiming to the world the vast
wealth of knowledge that is hers? OBJ
viously, she must disguise it.
Suppose she lets her hair grow
Pinned up on head already enlarged
by so much learning, she becomes so
conspicuous that she falls prey to the
first intellectual crook. So she bobs
it. Suppose she wears long skirts, or
even a modest collegiate gown. Would
it be surprising If some dark night she
is held up, and at the point of a pistol
made to recite the whole of Homer's
"niad' to some desperate college pro-
fessor7 So to be doubly sure, she rolls
her stockings. Education. is a con-
spicuous thing. and if the student ap-
plies little powder now and then to
cover up Its shining light upon her
face, she should not be condemned.
The desperate age In which we live
has made all this necessary.
So it is with admiration and pity
that we should regard her, bravely
adopting the latest styles, without
complaint. Not even the reformer
wears his pocketbook where it can be
seen. The college girl proves that she
has mind by hiding it.
