,Erie.e Bans Slave Girls

(, San Francisco, f!ov. 27-(A. P.)--
In San fF'rancisco's Chinatown the
tailors Used to thrive by making
dainty clothes for Chinese slave girls.
But W, the police report, this trade
has diminished to the point that the
Chinese tailors are appealing to the
Y. w. G. A. secretaries to put them
In touch with American families
wanting clothes.
The reason for this II said to be
that most of the slave girls have been
sent awav by theii. owners, largely to
small towns. The change in policy is
attributed to the activities of Chris
tian missionaries and, the police in
curbiHg some OF the practices of the

The people of the United States

experience of q period which il end

may break new ground in the prog
ress of mankind. Continental Europe

second largest fleet of merchant
shipping; we have shifted from q
debtor to a great creditor nation.

pressures, from within and without.

stresses and have developed the. in
herent weaknesses of old institutions
and practices some Of which man

Yet at this very crisis In the his.

cal parties are peculiarly adrift.
Their platforms and their policies

In themselves by schisms and re-
volts. Their leaders have become
followers whose principal purpose
seems to be to perpetuate them
selves in office. and to that end to
take no decided stand nor decisive
action. but to compromise among
the demands of the most clamorous.
The choice of the voters has been
between men. not between prin-
ciples. That this choice does, not
satisfy the people is clearly shown
by the large number of established
political regulations which q have
been suddenly upset and by the
number OF unknown and unqualified
candidates who have taken the
places of veterans. This turbulent
condition is natural to times OF dist

frequently not joined to alertness

Lighthouse Light Tiny Mantle
When YOU see q modern lighthouse
flashing its pencil-lilre beams many
miles across the sea, you instructive
ly remark:
what a powerful light light
house must have."
But If you looked inside the lamp
house at the top of the white tower,
you would be astonished to see only
tiny silk incandescent mantle, no
larger than four inches high and only
three inches across. z
The mantle Is made of the finest
silk 1t is possible to produce.
With this tiny mantle 1t is possi-
BILE to get light equal to 2100-
candlepower. The fuel which is
used is shale Oil. which comes from
Scotland, and is specially prepared
for the purpose The oil is vaporixed
into gas by means Of heat and AIR
pressure. So economical is the APP
paratus that Is gives this tremendous
liSst-power for an hour on two ana
a quarter pints of oil only.
Although 2100-c nndlcpDwer is very
powerful. 1t would not be strong
enough to penetrate 80 miles across
the seas, and to do this powerful re
Electors must be used.
These reficctDrs are built up OF
hundreds of pieces of cut glass
called prisms. These are each of a
triangular section, and arc long and
curved in shape, something like the
ribs of a human being. The gas
mantle Is surrounded by these prisms,
and they are arranged so that they
reflect every particle of light through
two bullseyes fixed at the opposite
side. So cleverly are they arranged.
ana so intensely do thoy magnify the
light that the illumination has q
strength of TOO, 000- cansilepower when
Il passes out OF the bulls -eyes and
Is thrown across the seas. This vast
mass of cut glass Is cemented into 4
circular steel frame, and the whole
weighs 3ia tons. This steel frame
levolycs slowly when the lamp Is
lighted, so that the lighthouse flash
es one or two beams every minute
or so. This Is done by an auto
matte machine.
