ced to such a point that the effect of bad weather on building operations has been greatly rduced. The survey shows that there is today much less manual la Dor on the job than formerly; greater proportion of the work Is done in fac tories or by power machinery, which IS less affected by the elements than hand labor Steel and concrete construction with certain safeguards can go forward at low temperature. Methods of win ter construction developed by leading contractors should now be greatly ex- tended Winter work is being done in some cases more cheaply than summer work, and Tn others at an increase in cost which is slight compared with the advantages of holding down the con- tractors overhead expense by keeping his organization together, the shorter time that the owners capital Is tied up in the operation, and the earlier date at which occupancy is made possible"
 Of labor in the building industries, the committee says:
 l He COOpeIduOIl OI lduol dllu hldll- agement Is necessary to increase pro- duction and to eliminate waste.
 Records of employment, hours, and earnings should be systematically kept by labor as we'll as management, and made available to the public.
 Advertising to apprise the public of dull periods in the building trades ca be prohtably utilized by labor.
 Since the letting of contracts for new work is likely to be interfere with when there is uncertainty caused by pending wage agreements, the corrlnit- tee recommends that such arrangc,rn. its be concluded at least 60 and preferably 90 days or more before the date when they take effect"

COW MAY GIVE MILK PUNCH;
 SHE CAN GET ON A LEGAL BUN

Cornwell, Ont, August 16.-Ontario COWS can stay gently stewed from one years end to another and the provin- cial Anti-Sa1oon League can't do thing about 1t. Of course, if a farmer holds out On a COW and consumes her alcohol, he can be thrown in the hoose- gow, but that don't do the COW any harm.
 Magistrate Cline here has ruled that a COW is entitled to food with an a1co- ho1ic content of 14.35 per cent. proof spirits, which assays abut the same as bootleg hooch i'll the States except that the kick is purely alcoholic in COW feed, whereas bootleg supplies are being for tifed with embalming fluid and such like anesthetics.
 All routine work and no relaxation makes Ontario COWS dull producers, and for that reason the farmers have been using a preparation of molasses mixed with straw and hay as an ar tic1e of diet The formula of the prep aration puts a 14.35 per cent. stick in the stuff so that the COW Is all relaxed and refreshed and under the spur of

STAMFORD SHOPS
 RUN BY MERRITT
 GO ON FULL TIME
Election Coming So Congressman Employees Are Summoned
 Back to Jobs.

Stamford, Aug 16-Election is com ing and the electors must be made to forget the period of unemployment and short time they have been under going recently. As a forerunner of this spirit of forgetfulness announce ment was made last week by the Yale x Towne Manufacturing Company of an increase of working hours Is hours per week beginning Monday The plant, which has been operating on four day week basis, 40 hours week, will operate five and one-half days per week 5 hours Officials of the company de- clared they are preparing for change in business conditions which is expect ed soon More than 1000 employees will be affected by the increased work ing time.
 The Yale & Towne Company is con- tro11ed by Congressman Schuyler Mer- ritt, who Is up for reelection this fall Mr. Merritt Is listed as among the ehard-boiled" congressmen, who op- posed the anti-chi1d labor bll and other Labor measures in the last Congress. The 4,000 expected employees of the lock shops might go long way in securing his return to congress again as they are going back on full time for the present at least.

of complications. Ii the COW can legally acquire skinfu1 and gives milk punches, 1t ought to be legal to feed her, say a couple of suissesses next morning so she could go about her regular business. On the one hand, there's no use letting her suffer all day, and on the other what's the use getting her stewed up again because there's no use talking, you got to use them frappes with caution and judg- ment.
 And besides, the COW having acquired her bun legally, the milk punches must be legal beverage within the Domin- ion alw. Thus our agrarian popu1a- tion can carry a load indefinitely and hoof their noses at the reformers.

the tipp1e takes a bracer and goes in for mass production.
 On the other hand, denied her regu- lar supply of the old stuff, the COW be- comes morose and sulks, takes to nag gi1g the other COWS, becomes quarrel some and her milk deliveries become short weight and irregular. Cows and milkman work by opposites. Given all the alcohol he can carry, the milkman lays down on the job, while with COW 1t is the other way about.
 But prohibition enforcers have no sense of values. One of them caught farmer named Antoine St. Onge with couple weeks supply of the bossy hooch and pinched him. When the case came up Magistrate Cline, who maybe likes a nip! himself now and then and Is human, ruled that there was nothing to show that Antoine had used the COW hooch except for its agri- cultural purposes and discharged him, thus laying down the principle that COW can take 1t or let 1t alone, wheras farmer isn't to be trusted.

 On the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad over 26@o of the locomotives are chron ical1y out of service and need re- pairs. On the Pennsylvania, the open-shop line, 422@o are faulty.
 The government should pay little more attention to the human element involved and the lives of tn travelling public and then rail- roads would be required to hire competent machinists to repair the engines and keep them keyed up in running order.
 It is the old story of politicians who would rather protect the profits of the railroad than the lives of the public and the men who man the engines.

1 This Is the conclusion of a committee on seasonal operation in the construc- ton industries, appointed by Herbert 1 Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, as a result of the Presidents Conference on Unemployment, which met in Washing ton in September, 1921.
 | The committee, composed of men representing many phases of the build ing industries, made thorough study of the problem of seasonal employment. The Carnegie Corporation of New York gave the committee limited ap- i propriation and contribution of funds l and services were received from sever al organizations including the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. The com- nittee included two representatives of organized labor, John Donlin, Presi- dent of the Building Trades Depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, and James P. Noonan, President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers of America.
 The committee found that building
 
 ties are employed less than three-quar- ters of the year. As result the trades are fully employed for only three to five months Commenting on these facts Mir. Hoover says:
 'The committee states that bad wea ther is not the principal cause of sea sona1 id1eness. Customs which became fixed when builders had not yet learned how to cope with adverse weather con- ditions have not been changed to meet improvements in building materials, the development of new equipment, and in novations in management methods. For most types of construction 1t Is now possible to build the year round in all parts of the United States.
 "Organized community efforts by representatives of the construction in dustries, the professions concerned, and the public are necessary to find the facts as to local hadicaps, peaks and de- pressions in employment, and. the kinds of construction needed, and to make the facts public as basis for more even demand for construction work and for the elimination of wasteful customs. Conscious planning ahead with refer ence to seasonal conditions Is absolute ly necessary to mitigate the extreme ups and downs of construction from season to season and from year to year"
 Contrary to popular belief" says the committees report, bad weather is not the principal cause of variations in en- ploynent from month to month. The present survey shows that seasonal idle ness Is not confined to regions where climate is severe Cities in the South and on the Pacific coast are affected much like those on the Canadian bor- der.
 The art of construction has advan-

or who'd "a Thought" and are en-
titled to a place in the front ranks of
the list of queer mine names. The
first is a little mine operated by the
Dayton Coal and Iron company on its
