NEWARK, July 1S.-Supplies of
New Jersey produce were moderate
in the wholesale district this morn
ing. Corn, beets and carrots held
steady and cabbage was firm. Of
ferings of potatoes were fairly large
and sold at unchanged prices. To-
matoes were ~noticeably weaker and
moved at lower figures.
Peaches met a moderate demand and
the best stock was higher. Apples
continued TO sell slowly with a wide

Strange Sort of Fuel.

d ESEARCHES have been made in
II France with respect to the use Of
grape pommace as fuel. Moreover. at
tention has been invited to various kinds
of material that might be used in this
way to good advantage, and the calo-
rife power Of which possesses censid-
erable value. 1t has been found that
grape pommace, when well dried, is an
excellent fuel and has a good heating
quality. In the researches mentioned,
1t was demonstrated that the substance
dried at 115 degrees centigrade shows
4,4oo calories.
It is also shown that as this sub
stance has much resemblance to dried
peat, it can be used in suitable pro-
ducer gases, and it has an advantage
over peat in that 1t can be dried rapid
.ly. Combustion allows of recovering
most of the phosphorus compounds and
potash contained in the ash, and only
the nitrogen is lost. . A ton of well
dried pommace has the same heat value
as 0.4 ton of coal. By this estimate
the annual wine production.in France
OF 1.250,000,000 gallons represents at
least 175.000 tons of coal, SO that the
interest OF this application is consio-
erable. Pommecs of other fruits
could no doubt be employed.

Quite apart fromJrhe khaki noun
tain outfit which Dave still wears at
Berkeley as a matter of principle,
and his short-c clipped beard worn by
all men in the northern wilderness,
there is something exceedingly dis
tinctive about him. Perhaps it is
erect carriage, the bearing of great
vitality and perfect health. Dave has
never been sick a day.
And what about that sturdy trap

time in twenty-five years? One let

then eastward until It reached the
great Yukon river at it's function with
the Stewart river.
IRON this point hes followed for
l 200 miles the wide Canadian gov
ernment trail that the traders
use until he reached White Horse.
Here, for the first and only time
in his life, he boarded train
for the last twenty miles Of his jour
ney to Skagway which paralleled the
route Of the historic Chilkoot Pass.
At Skagway. with his usual resource
fulness, this son of the wilderness
soon found q lumber boat on which
he shipped directly for San Fran
cisco as ships assistant The last
lap of his journey was accomplished
on the ferry boat from San Francisco
to Berkeley, at cost Of Is cents,
bringing the grand total of his 1000
mile trip to s2-7S!
So far the shedding had been easy;
but now Dave confronted the stately
university buildings Of the Berkeley
campus. to which he must gain ad-
mission, and the comfortable homes
where he must make a place for
himself. He had few small coins
In his pocket and not single
acquaintance in the United States.
Here was a big order to fill! Dave
was unconscious Of difficulties. To
the youth who had learned to cope
successfully with the relentless con-
ditions Of the Alaskan frontier the
problem Of getting started in a
civilized community brought no
alarm. The first night he joyously
wrapped himself in his blanket and
spent 1t in the friendly seclusion of
the great eucalyptus grove on the
campus. He was actually too happy
to sleep, and as he gazed across the
bay and saw what seemed to him the
myriad camp fires of San Francisco
his heart filled with love for this
great, new human family which sur
rounded him. There, under the stars,
he dedicated his life to their service.

TN the morning his first act was to
register at the university, nor was
he daunted to find that, contrary to
his expectation, he would have to pay
800 tuition each semester. He merely
asked for a little extension of time
and started out to find a way of
earning money. His winning per-
sonality brought him work wherever
he sought it.
Dave is now earning his board and
a handsome surplus, doing splendidly
in his studies, and entering into the

Is 1t Hours or More Money Wanted?

The country generally will uphold Judge Gary, head Of the
United States Steel Corporation, in the decision to make the
eight hour day a straight eight hour day and not a basic eight
hour day. This change will put the acid test to the contention
of labor that a work day of more than eight hours is harmful to
the workers.
No one begrudges labor its right to a front line on the pay
roll. 1t has been found, however, that after employers in some
industries have conceded the eight hour day the workers have
continued to work just the same hours they worked before, their
battle for the shorter day obviously being to get extra pay under
the questionably justfable overtime schedule. In brief, most
of the fights for the eight hour day have not been fights for the
eight hour day at all, but camoufaged efforts to obtain excessive
advances in wages.
This is unfortunate, because the reaction will be clearly injuri-
Gus to those who toll. Perhaps the greatest trouble is not caused
by those who toll, but by those who, like the lilies of the field,
toll not, neither do they spin. There would be little complaint
