Q. Is cambria linen or cotton?- .
II. G..
A. This name, derived from Cam
brai, France, where the material was
made, was given to the finest and
thinnest of plain woven linen fabrics.
The term is now applied to cloth made
from cotton with the fibre twisted very
hard in imitation of linen cambria.

DECREASE SEEN IN
AUTOMOBILE DEATHS

Motor vehicles took q toll of / ,4a0
lives, or 46 per day, during the month
of january, according to the National
Safety Council. This, however. is a
reduction from the two previous
years. In January, 1925, the average
per day was 65. and in January, 1925,
it was 40 per day. OF those klilec,
70 per cent were pedestrians, IL per
cent of the fatalities were due to auto
mobile collisions, and the remainder
due to collisions of automobiles with
trains, and noncollision Accidents.
>An analysis of automobile fatalities
over period Of years, made by the
National Safety Council, shows that
children and aged persons suffer the
greater proportion of accidents.
Among children between the ages of
five and nine, II out of every 1OO,-
600 die in year from motor vehicle
accidents. The rate then decreases
as the child grows older, the rate be-
ing z per 100000, among the ages of
fifteen to nineteen. The rate adj
vances gradually, but not until after
the age of 60 does the rate become as
high as among the five to nine year
old children. For persons of ages
seventy to seventy-four, the rate is
27 per 100000.

VIOLIN WITH HISTORY

A violin which was used to furnish
dance music for British army officers
the night before the battle of Water
loo will be used by one of the contests
in the old fiddler's contest to be stag
ed at Pipestone. Mrs. C. R. Quick,
of Hatfield, MIMI, is the possessor of
the instrument and she will endeavor
to carry off the head prize at the con-
test. Major James Young was the
original owner of the instrument and
he took it to party held by British
officers at Brussels the night before
the battle of Waterloo in 1915. Major
Young was killed in the battle and
General George Young recovered the
violin and it was later given to Miss
Florinda Galbreth Englind in Castle
Greg, Ireland, who in turn bequeath-
ed it to her daughter, now Mrs. Quirk.

BANKS OWN 100000 ACRES

w. A.. Smith, examiner in charge
of closed banks for the State of Min
nesota, recently testified before a
legislative committee that among the
assets of the closed banks of the
states are included 100000 acres of
land, from which it is difficult to
realize money at once, and that this
fact is to a great extent responsible
for the delay in liquidating these
closed institutions. During 1925 the
department was able to dispose of but
10000 acres of land, and this was
sold, for the most part, to farmers in
the neighborhood where the bank
failures occurred. 1t would thus seem
that an increase demand for Mime
sofa land will not only assist mater
tally in avoiding further bank fail
ures but will do much toward hosten-
ing the liquidation of those already
closed.

DISEASE SPREADS FROM
PEOPLE. NOT BUILDINGS

With tuberculosis and with all in
fictitious diseases the danger lies not
in the home or surrounding but in the
contact with human beings who
spread infection, says an editorial in
Hygeia. The idea that some houses
are breeding places of tuberculosis
and that dark and unclean houses are
a good ground for the tubercular bac-
I'LL must be given up.
Overcrowding and bad nutrition,
conditions that are much more COM
mon among the poor than the rich,
are important contributing factors in
the spread of this disease. A person
with tuberculosis or any other active
infectious disease should be isolat-
ed and arrangements should be made
for preventing the spreading of his
excretions among those who are we'll.

AVERAGE VALUE OF MEN
AND WOMEN NOW $4,000

Along with the usual stock-taking
at the beginning of the year was the
two thousand billions of dollars val.
uation put upon human life in these
states. Authority for the figure
rests on expert actuarial opinion Civ
en- to the meeting of the American
Statistical association at st. Louis
On the basis of 115,000,000 useful
heads, this tremendous appraisal OF
human energies signifies a per capita
value of about $4,000. Now, the ma
tional wealth is about $500, 00O, 00O,-
900, and the national income approx
mately 0,000,000,000. In the Stats
ticians' calculations they reckoned
that five times the present aggregate
of national wealth will be produced
during the estimated term through
which the human energies now effec-
tive will be applied, and the wealth
producing capacity of the average
American is put between twenty and
twenty-five times his annual income.
1t is plain enough that by far the
greater part of the wealth so produc-
ed will be consumed.
No one would contend that an esti-
mate of national or individual worth
could be conclusive, though it well
might be charged with suggestion
and text for debate. For specimen,
in the reasoning at st. Louis, an av-
erage of nearly $4,000 was assigned
as the worth of man, and about $751;
900 as the worth of woman. So
predicated, the national average of
both sexes works out to about ST.
500, but by what authority do the
wise men justify the difference of 25
per cent between the two basic aver
ages?
Plausibly, the statisticians may
argue that the services of woman in
the home have been recognized and
capitalized to the full.
More difficult is proper allowance
Tor the feeling she put into her SER

President Coolidge received for
nnal invitation from the Minneapolis
Civic & Commerce Association to es.
tablish his summer White House al
the estate of Mrs. Walter D. Douglas
at Deephaven, Lake Minnetonka, the
Invitation being extended by Con.
gresham Walter H. Newton for the
association.
1t is understood that Mr.. Newton
already has talked with the President
relative to spending his vacation or
the shores of Minnetonka and has
shown him pictures and descriptions
of the Douglas estate.
The following letter was sent to
President Coohuge by Arthur R. Rog-
ers, president of the Civic & Com
merce Association, confirming the or
al invitation extended by Mr.. New
ton:
''The people of the city of Min
neapolis extend to your excellency an
invitation to spend your summer va
cation in this part of the middle west.
1--WE are very happy indeed to be
able to extend to you, on behalf OF
Its owner, the estate of Mrs. Walter
ID. Douglas at Deephaven, Lake Min
netonka.
"Lake Minnetonka is situated 30
minutes from Minneapolis by excel
dent highways; it is one of the beauty
spots of the northwest; and the sur
roundings of Mrs. Douglas place are
ideal in every respect. The immedi-
ate vicinity back of the property is
covered with magnificent maple and
oak trees and the outlook from the
house acros sthe lake, looking toward
the west, is one of the most beauti-
full sights whic hone can find any,
where.
Being only 80 minutes from the
city makes it possible for you to keep
in close touch with Washington and
the city itself furnishes excellent ad-
vantages for those who may visit you
on business or otherwise during the
summer months. The house and ada
cent buildings are very commodious
and beautiful in their appointments.
There also are clubs and small hotels
where members of your staff can stay
If u is so desired. With all of this,
there is privacy and seclusion to as
great an extent as you might desire.
1--WE understand that you have
been given photos, maps and other
detailed particulars bearing upon this
property so that it is unnecessary for
US to further cumber you with them,
and We can only add that should you
conclude to be our guest for the sum-
mer, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and this
entire northwest country would ap-
preciate it as a great compliment to
them and one of which they would be
justly proud.
"Should you care to send anyone
here to investigate, if you would
kindly ask them to advise us, we will
see that they be given every oppor-
tunity to inspect and examine the
property"

UFTSPROFESSOR
Gives Points for New Sacco
Trial
BY international Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago. Pleading for a new trial
for Sacco and Vanzetti, who now stand
convicted and sentenced to death in
Massachusetts on what millions of
people believe to be framed evidence,
Prof Clarence r. Skinner Of Tufts
College, in a luncheon address at the
City Club here, characterized the case
as a symbol of the workers struggle
for justice in the courts"
Prof. Skinner bases his contention
for a new trial on the five following
points:
/. There was general hysteria and
prejudice against all "so-called Reds
and radicals" in 1920, the date Of the
murder, and in such an atmosphere it
was difficult for the jury to give the
defendants, known to have had radical
associates, the benefit Of the legal pre-
sumption Of innocence.
2. The Identification of Sacco and
Vanzetti as the murderers was un-
trustworthy, and their alibis were
stronger than the contrary evidence.
3. The testimony regarding the fatal
bullet, alleged to have come from
Sacco's pistol, was misinterpreted by
both Judge and jury When the fire
arms expert said ct is consistent with
the theory of the case that the bullet
came from Sacco's gum he did not
mean, his later affidavit brought out,
that he believed there was evidence
that it did come from there.
A. Later testimony points to the
Morrelli gang of Providence, R. l., as
the real murderers.
5 Judge Webster Thayer, who heard
the case, and later declined to permit
new trial, reviewed his own case, and
was prejudicial to both the defend
ants and to their attorneys.

LABOR DAY OUTING
Will Be Held on Fair
grounds

At meeting held this week by the
Labor Day picnic committee of the
Trades and Labor Council the outing
will again be held on the Butler
county fairgrounds as heretofore.
Since the Butler County Agricul-
tural Society leased the grounds to
the Hamilton Jockey Club for race
meet, which opens a few days before
Labor Day, Saturday, August 27, and
continues until after Labor Day, many
were under the impression that the
outing this year could not be held on
the fairgrounds.
On Tuesday night several of the
officers met with a representative of
the Hamilton Jockey Club, and
through meeting arranged by
NJ. d. Urmston satisfactory ar
rangements were made, that the
Labor Day outing could use the fair
grounds without any interference
with the race meet. The Labor Day
committee feels that with both at
fractions on the grounds that day, it
will be big drawing card for both
the race meet and the Labor Day out
ing.
From the reports of the different
subcommittee of the outing com
mittee who are arranging the differ
ent attractions, we are going to have
some high-class attractions and many
of them absolutely free. Trades
unionists should watch the papers for
later Labor Day news and announce

FOR WORKERS DEATHS

over report by Chief Boiler In
spector McCabe on the recent ex-

The report states that spray booths
for painting automobile bodies were
improperly constructed, that the build
ing was not suitable and that many
other things were wrong. Despite
these acknowledgements, the report
states:

was an act of Providence and that the
Briggs company was not guilty of

Upon whatever head the blazing
sun of prairie or desert may have
beaten, in the inner recesses of that
head there will lurk forever more the
fixed idea that lot of hat is mighty
good thing under such circumstances.
But when it comes to politics, that
is something else again, as the presi-
Dental sponsor of the ten-gallon hat
of Black Hills will no doubt attest
duly and privately to his intimates,
if such there be.
When the late T. r. announced that
his hat was in the ring, 10, these
many years ago, it was the up-turned
felt of the Rough Riders that went
sailing into the ARENA hat that was
by way of being a compromise between
the great hat of the western ranges
and the modest fedora of the East.
But it sat with naturalness upon the
long there 1t had about it none of
the artifciality of the stage.
The present occupant of the White
House brings in his fish and poses
with them the while his neck is en-
circled in high, stiff collar. The
country saw at once that it wasn't
merely matter of being out Of tune
with 6shdom in the matter of bait
the whole thing went deeper that that
and was in reality a matter of dispo-
sition, or temperament, or something
like that. But even that wasn't as
bad as the pose in the ten-gallon hat,
as it has come to be called, though it
doesn't begin to hold ten gallons. Six
quarts is the usual rated capacity.
The big hat simply wasn't where it
belonged. There is no use dodg-
ing the actual truth. No tenderfoot
can wear the big hat of the West and
look or feel natural while SO doing.
1t is a thing that must be where it
belongs, or be out of place. He who
would wear the big hat must either
be to the manor born, or must, by
painful process become acclimated. 1t
| isn't thing that can be appropriated
off hand by anyone, like ham sand
wich or half dollar.
The bandana handkerchief is in the
same class. If it isn't where it was
meant to be, on a neck that has in a
| way grown up to it, it is an incongru-
Gus thing, itself miserable and its
wearer a character from the comic
strips.
If we are to go further and get at
| the real rock bottom of the Coolidge
pose in the so-called ten-gallon hat
| it must be set down that the whole
business was carefully calculated t.
keep our minds off the atrocities il
Nicaragua, off the situation regarding
| Mexico, off the Geneva conference
off of everything in which Americans
ought to interest themselves and about
which they ought to seek knowledge
and register opinions This, as vii
be seen, it has now done to the extent
of nearly column, which, as vii
probably be conceded, is quite enough
| for any hat to achieve.

Chemicals Can Force
Plants Into GrotUfh

Chemical alarm clocks to arouse
sleepy seed potatoes and other plant
cuttings from their lethargy and
start them into growth weeks be-
fore their usual time were described
to the National Academy of Sciences
recently by DR.. Frank e. Denny, of
the Boyce Thompson institute, Yon-
kers, N. 7. 'Potato tubers when
freshly harvested are dormant, and
will not sprout if planted at once
under growing conditions, the rest
period lasting from one to four
months in different varieties of po-
tatoes," said Doctor Denny. "This
period of inactivity may be short
ened by treating the tubers with
various chemicals. The gain in
time of sprouting is about two to
six weeks, depending on the variety
of potato and the stage of dormancy
at the time the treatment is applied.
Twigs of apple, grape, lilac also
have this dormant period in au-
tumn, and the buds of these species
can be forced into early growth by
treatment with certain of these
chemicals, the gain in time of bud
ding or blooming ranging from one
to nine weeks" The chemicals used
by Doctor Denny include thiocy-
antes, thiourea and ethylene chlor-
