LONDON, Ontario, February 25.

high school boy, here, has received
a letter informing him that a
pop bottle in which he placed his
name and address two years ago
at Windsor, ontario, was picked
up by n sailor off the coast of

Presumably 1t went out through

Science Comes to Aid
Labor of ShoUeling

Have you ever noticed that the hard
est part of ~shoyeling in tough material
is getting the shovel in? You push and
you bang your anatomy against Its
handle, until part, at least, of a shovel
full has been bitten off. But 1t is hard,
killing work, asserts the Scientific
American.
But suppose you had a helper whose
job it was to strike the rear end of the
shovel. All you would have to do
would be to hold the shovel and keep
it pointing where you wanted it to
work.
Such a consummation Is contained In
a one-man clay digger recently manu-
featured. First, there is a pneumatic
tool which does NOT differ greatly from
the pneumatic riveter. This forms the
handle and strikes 800 sharp blows
a minute. Then there is the shovel
or spade, very strong and husky-much
more so than a common hand shovel.
The air line Is a flexible hose which at
taches to the handle end of the spade,
and there is a hand trigger to start and
stop the compressed air.
1t does not require an engineer to see
the potentialities Of this combination.
Anyone who has watched a pneumatic
~riveter mash rivets into heads in ten
seconds, or a pneumatic chisel wreck
ing steel work, knows how fast they
eat their way through.
These shovels are not meant for
~shoveling coal or sand, but for tough
jobs. For instance, cutting through
frozen ground. tunneling In tough clay
or digging p~ostholes in mean" soil.

however, as I have studied the con-
ditions that cause men to rise or
which keep them in subordinate or
inferior positions that there is very
little In luck. Success is almost al

OTHERS MORE DESERVING

1t is a comforting belief that no
human being may not be reached"
and helped to higher level. On the
other hand it is painfully evident
that under existing conditions it is
too much to expect that they will be
reac hed.
After all that was done for Ward,
though knowing as he must that the
manner in which he should conduct
himself under the term of leniency
granted to him would have effect not
only on his own case but on that of
others more deserving. he lapses in
to booze peddling in the hospital
where he was so kindly sent for
treatment.
The time may come when persist
ent effort undismayed. may finally
arouse the moral concepts of such
seeming incorrigibles. Meanwhile
however. there are too many more
deserving cases needing attention to
warrant the time and patience which
would be required for such as Ward
appears to be. We hope considera-
ton Of the more deserving will not
be discouraged on account of Wards
failure to reciprocate fail treatment.
