IsineIass Production

Isinglass is the commercial name for
dried swimming bladders of several
varieties Of fish. The amount OF gela-
tin in lsinglass is from SO to % per
cent and even more, 1t is prepared py
tearing the air bladder or sound from
the back of the fish, from which II mas
been loosened by striking several
blows with a wooden club, then wash
ing In cold water. The black outer
skin is removed with knife, again
washed and spread on board to dry
in the open air, with the white SHINY
skin turned outward. To prevent
shrivellng or shrinking, the bladders
must be fastened to u drying board
The best quality Of islnglass comes
from sounds that are dried in the sun
After drying. the sound is again
moistened with warm water and the
interior shiny skin is removed by nam
mering or rubbing. Finally, 1t Is rolled
between two polished iron rollers.

doctors and Quinine"
Built Bolivian RailWay

The most wonderful, and at the same
time the most Isolated, railway in the
world is In South America. 1t begins
and ends 1000 miles from civilization.
The terminus of steam navigation up
the Amazon and its mighty tributary,
the Madevia river, Is at Porto Nelho,
1000 miles from the sea. Here the
Madeira Marmore railway begins, car
rying the traveller and his merchan-
disc past $50 miles of cataracts and
rapids to the navigable rivers of
Bolivia.
The task of getting European goods
into northeastern Bolivia used to be
gigantic. 1t took six months, and
every pound had to be carried on the
backs of natives to escape the rapids.
The railway was begun as long ago as
1874, but 1t had TO be abandoned, be-
cause every sleeper laid cost a life.
It was only when medical science
stepped in to help the engineers that
the colossal task was accomplished
ten years ago.
The line was built by the govern
ment of Brazil. 1t clrcumvents 10
cataracts, starts 1000 miles from any
other railroad, and ends at similar
distance in Bolivia. The great water
ways complete the journey from AT
lantic to Pacific. The Americans say
that it was really built by Doctor
Lovelace and quinine."

Quaint Annual Festival
in Shakespeare's TouI

Coming almost coincidentally wit
Thanksgiving day In Canada, Is cele
brated at the historic town Of Strai
ford-on-Avon, immortalized by vii
liam Shakespeare, what is called III
annual Mop" day, the Montreal Fam,
ly Herald tells us. Its name was d.
rived from the oldtime custom of mel
with mops journeying through III
streets; but although this has nov
died out, the fair has never lost il
quaint name. Pigs and other animal
are roasted whole In the streets, il
small, walled-in spaces. At the larg
est Mop, which was just before the
outbreak Of the war with Germany
there were 36 pigs and 10 other
beasts roasted. The meat is sold al
adjacent tables or to the citizens who
send their servants to fetch 1t. Part
of the custom is to eat Banbury cakes
on Mop day. Originally hiring fair,
both for farm hands and for maidserv-
ants, fortnight later 1t is followed
by the Runaway Mop" This was in
stituted for those who, having found
their situations unsatisfactory, had
run away. Servants hired at the
Little Mop" were forced to keep their
places until the big Mop" came
around again. For the big Mop
there are countless caravans and side
shows, switchbacks, and wild-beast
shows; but for the Runaway" there
are only a small number, as few as
five pigs and two beasts sometimes
sufficing for the roast.

She Said So, Anyway

The young man who was endeaVor-

morning and greeted him with much
cordlality.
ado you think your sister was
pleased to know l had called the oth-
or day?' he was at last forced TO
ask, bluntly, after several efforts TO
guide Hughes conversation in that
direction.

promptness. II know she was. l
heard her say so.
"When she came home mother salu .

Firing "Indes Number"

The -nindex number is a well-estap-
Nshed device commonly used Tor meas
uring changes in wholesale and re-
tail prices, and rates Of wages over
long periods of time. 1t is construct
cd by securing each month the prices
or rates of uniform list, at certain
specified places, and striking an aV-
srage. Such numbers are usually re-
duced to percentages. The lowest
price known is sometimes taken as Il
base, or, as in case Of investment
stocks, 100 is used.

CHILD LABOR

The examinations of the selectlVe
draft boards revealed a condition OIL
illiteracy among the young men o.
the nation that was rather a SHOCK
to American pride.
A little investigation showed tna'
in some parts of the country sma'i
children were put to work In factory

dition at once arrested the attention
of the mothers of the land. Then it
was discovered that the children
were exploited at very low wages,
and this feature was especially noted
by union labor. The matter was
brought to the attention of congress.
Congress was sufficiently impressed
to attempt to remedy the evil by
statute, and passed a law for the
protection of children which was
jannulled by the court. Congress then
tried again with the same result.
The constitution of the IT, S. did not
confer upon congress the power to
regulate child labor; that power had
been left to the states. The states
have held and exercised that power
for practically q century and one-half
with the result as above indicated.
Surely, $50 years should be con-
sidered time enough for fair trial.
| Then the following proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States was passed by congress
and is now up to the state legisla-
lures for ratification. (Read the
lamendment).
II must be noted that his amend
ment makes no law and regulates
nothing; but it gives congress, in one
branch of which every state, big,
little, is equally represented the
power to enact regulatory statutes
up TO a certain limit for the protec-
ton of children. At once those who
are seeking cheap labor organized "a
publicity bureau and commenced to
broadcast propaganda which is Ger
tainly prolific in misinformation.
They say it will destroy constitutional
government. The same thing has
been said of every other amendment,
and this is the 20th, but the govern
ment still lives. They say congress
cannot be entrusted with power to
Ilegislate but congress has been en-
trusted with power and has used it
without abusing it. What is the
matter with congress now?
They say it is vicious because it
originated in, Russia. The same ar
guement was used against Jesus
Christ because he came out of
Nazareth
They say it will cost something to
administer such law Granted, but
it costs something to administer the
law for the protection of hogs and
cattle. Is a child worth less than
a pig?
They say it will prohibit children
from helping their parents, even to
the extent of wiping the dishes for
mother or feeding the chickens, until
they are IS years old.
Neither of the enactments by con
gress heretofore gave any such hint
nor has any such imbecility ever
showed up in congress.
Congress has power to regulate
commerce between the states. Has
the power ever been abused? But
they say predatory interests will in
fluence congress. They will use
money and congressman can't with
stand the temptation of money. Well
how about state legislatures? Are
they made of finer stuff? Listen to
me. Predatory interests are busy
right now trying to influence state
legislatures to reject this amendment
an amendment that reflects the spirit
of America, the spirit of fair play.
Give the children chance. They
are the best asset this country or any
other has. Let's conserve children
as well as hogs even if tcosts few
dollars.
