It is easy to see from the manufac-
turing process that the celluloid indus
try is an extremely hazardous one,
and one in which numerous precau-
tions are indispensable unless the
lives of the workers engaged in it are
to be constantly endangered. In the
first place, the acids used in treating
the cellulose gives off vapors which
are very injurious to the lungs. They
cause coughing. suffocation, conges-

In making many articles the cellu-
loid, which comes in blocks, is worked
on lathes. A fine dust is present thru
out this process. and forms explosive
mixtures which have given rise to
many serious accidents.
Altho efforts have been made to sub

this dangerously cheap-substance
is still extensively employed. The in

THE explosion occurring recently

the injury of ten women workers. The
explosion was the result of the neg

tons on the part of the factory man
agement in the handling of a most
dangerous material.

combs, knife-handles and eye-glass

At first there was a great cutlery by
the manufacturer Of the costly articles
made from ivory, amber, tortoise-shell,
ETC., against the use of celluloid sub
stitutes for these expensive commodi-
ties. But the manufacture of celluloid
has lived thru this opposition and be-

tremendous impetus from the rapid
development of the moving picture in

COnfentment
By EDITH IRWIN

Are you content with mere living,
With eating and working and sleeping?
Is there nothing in life that you long for,
Is there nothing you seek to be meeting?
Has toll darkened all, you poor creature;
Has poverty smothered ambitions,
Has it taken all hope of life from you,
Has it made you quite blind to conditions?
Do you wonder sometimes why so many
Have appetites only for middlings,
Why some never hear the glad heart songs,
But pay more than their share for the fddlingsf
Brace up and come out of your sleeping;
Demand of life all that there is;
Let the world know you are living,
And, living know life-what it is

Queen Bees.

The marvel of that marvellous clta-
del a bee hive. is the queen bee, whom
thousands of her golden subjects obey
implicitly although they could easily
kill her. She will tolerate no other
queens in the hive and ordinarily
there is no other, as new queens are
only produced when the old one dies,
and this is done by feeding the i'm
mature females of princess bees on
special food. But there is group OF
parasitic small brown bees the queen
of which will invade a honey bee nest
and actually "vamp" the hive. which
seem to prefer her to their own queen
and will feed her and let their queen
starve. OF course she only produces
Young of her own kind, which mature
and fly forth to play the same trick
elsewhere.
Now what do you know about that? ?
