SEVENTY YEAR OLD
WOODEN GAS PIPE

The common impression is that iron
is more durable than wood, but the
fact is that under certain conditions
wood often outlasjs iron. In recon
s.tac.ing the gas system ut Canandai-
qua, \. Y, which was installed sew
eaty years ago, it was necessary to
take up $500 feet Of wooden trunk
line pipe. The engineers were amazed
to discover that there had been no
leakage from it, Although it had been
lying submerged in water, it appeared
to be as sound as when laid. The
inside Of the PIPE was rs intact as
the outside. Nevertheless, an iron
band which made q Joint, was so bad
~ rusted that it had to be removed
Not only was this ancient pipe intact
bus chips from the borings showed
that there had been no seepage OF
E3s, the wood fibre not even being
ImprcguaJed with gas odor.

of thieycry could have accomplished such
clean sweep in SO efficient a manner.
The burglars "jimmied' the door of
the establishment, which was on the third
floor: not such hard task. But they
attended to this feature of the job with
the same neatness and dispatch that char
acterized all the rest of their nights
work Then, equipped with modern elec-
| trio drills. they removed a globe from the
electric light chandelier, used the vic
TINS own electrical power. and cut wide
| hole in the safe. not around the combina-
! ton as is the crude practice of most burg
| lars. but in a remote corner of the face
! of the door.
| No explosive was used by these special
lists. Instead. they brought into play
/ special tools. in the manner of a surgeon
using the latest and most approved type
nf instrument upon his patient, and
carefully removed from within the safe
| the cement lining of its door. This barred
! the lock mechanism; that is, barred it
from within the safe. but these expert
I burglars knew what they were about and
proceeded TO loosen this lock mechanism,
again using special tools.
! After quietly unlocking, not forcing,
the door. the intruders made use of the
keys to the inner doors of the safe, which
were found conveniently at hand in a
drawer. and proceeded to loot the con-
| tents of the strong box. again calling into
! play their expert talent and choosing
| by process of elimination, everything of
value including Watches, unset diamonds
and rings. They took the really valuable
| stuff and left the less expensive jewclry
where it was.
! To show the extent to which efficiency
was carried, the burglars provided them
rselves with n basin of water in which to
cool their drills as they worked. Appar-
emily only one slip was made in the prog
ress of the entige remarkable job; n
broken drill was found on top of the
safe where from technical standpoint
it should not have been left Perhaps
the boss burglar inflicted a severe repri-
mand upon the careless driller: no one
can tell, as the detectives have found not
a trace of the men.
Cigarettes these days are popular with
all classes of professional men, and the
case of the Hartford burglars was no ex-
! ccption. as a number of butts were found
! upon the floor, and an opened package
containing three unused smokes was left
bebind-a rather scant clue TO follow in
what will probably be an elusive search.

u It'll the u-e of liquor. good and bad.
as general IS it IS in these days of con-
stitnrj"nal Prohibition, trade in the for
bidder commodity furnishes one of the
profoundly strange aspects of American
character that puzzles the observer.
Every person who deals in liquor, whether
h2 be haot-legger who sells a pint or
the broE,r'- agent who handles deal
involving perhaps thousands of cases, is
breaking the fundamental law Of the land
just as truly as the thug who stabs his
victim in the back from a dark alley, or
the swindler who wrecks a bank
And vet. strange to note, no stigma at
tachcS to the high-cla~@ liquor agent: at
least. the calling Is not branded as vile
OF degenerate. The agent or broker. if
he is wise chap (and most of them are,)
minGles in society on a footing with the
respectable professional man, the doctor.
the lawyer. the banker. In fact the booze
broker resembles the banker or successful
manufacturer in that usually he is we'll
to-do, He attends affairs in society, per
hap~ even attends church, and miugles
with the hest element. He dresses well.
usually is fairly we'll educated, at least
in the affairs of the world, and if anyone
remarks upon his means of occupation,
the remark usually is accompanied with
Il shrug of Indifference as to the Illegal
aspect of it. This condition is real and
actual today. especially in the big cities.
In this connection it is at least mildly
surprising to note what the official organ
Of the American Bar Association has to
say of the liquor trade of today. 1t
brands the business as worse than trea-
son: it brands the dealer as worse than
anarchist. One naturally would expect
such sentiments to be expressed by bod
les in the W. T. c. T., or the Anti-Sa-
the Bar Association, that great body of
men representing the highest personnel
of the legal profession. this message bears
peculiar weight.
Some may interpret the Bar Associa-
tion's statement as complete right about
of sentiment in general on the prohibition
question. Lawyers, as everyone knows,
will take either side of a question for Il
consideration, aud plead the case for or
against almost any thing or person. They
are not easily moved to conviction on the
usual run of topics, except for a consid-
Grafton in the form of a fee. In fact,
it had been generally supposed that law
yea as class perhaps were more openly
opposed to legal prohibition than any
other class of professional men. The Of
fetal sentiments of the Bar Association
ought to give dry factionists- tremendous
satisfaction.

HIRE THE GROWSUPS!

If the children who are now working
in the mines, factories, quarries. farms
and other industrial establishments of
the United States were taken from their
jobs and put into school where they be-
long. 100000 jobs would be left open
for adults. ~.~ s--'f
Secretary of Labor Davis has pointed
out this fact to the people of America
and has issued an earnest appeal to the
employers of child labor to supplant the
children, in so far as can be done, with
adults, preferably those having depend
ents." Mr.. Davis urges this in justice to
the children as we'll as to the adult I'M
employed.
1t is a disgrace TO America in any in
dnstrial situation that 100000 children
who should be in school are at work in
stead. Every such child represents di-
rect economic loss to his parents and to
the country az a whole, as well as being
a pitiful example of inhumanity in a hui
name land.
The unemployment problem has been
attacked from all sides. Few sugges ted
solutions are as fun of possibilities for
the common good as this of Secretary
Davis, asking that the child be put back
into school where he belongs and that
wage-earning be turned over to the adult
whose natural function it is.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Pointing out the imp0ssibility of Ire
land being really independent of England,
or England of Ireland, Bernard Shaw
writes:
Independence is a fine shibboleth for
a slave; but the moment he is free he
discovers that we are members, one with
another, and that independence is an ego
centric dream. England calls herself in
dependent. but why has she been afraid
to let Ireland go until she was ignom-
iniously forced to? Admittedly ii is be-
cause she is so dependent on Ireland.
She has tried to plumber Germany only
TO find that she is dependent on Germany.
She has helped to ruin Russia only to
find her streets filled with millions of
starving Englishmen cIamoring to be al
lowed to work for Russia in order to
live.
Here is truth, as anyone dispassion-
ately observing events is driven to admit
There is no complete national independ-
ence left in the civilized world any more
than there is any complete individual in
dependence Civilized society, of per-
sons and nations, becomes more and more
complex system of interaction We are
members one with another as Shaw
says, quoting a greater than himself
Even the heavenly bodies, that seem to

knows or should know that carbon mon
oxide, the gas from the exhause of a gas
oline motor, is deadly poison. Out in the
open the effect of this gas is insignificant.
But it is entirely another matter if the
engine is running in a confined space,
such as n closed garage. And at this
season closed garages are the rule, if a
motorist wishes to do a little work on
his engine. The tragic case of the Brook
lyn boy should be needed by the careless
motoriSt.

These are times or specialization in
trades and professions. The attorney
spccializes in criminal. civil or corpora

extent in certain features of their trade,
or profession, O. whatever it is.
