the mythical Amazons. The women
lock their husbands and sons at home
when they go out to fish, hunt and
carry on the other pursuits left to
the male in ordinary cases. It is
considered undignified that q woman
should let a man work. 40

After an automobile is once
started, brakes are no doubt the
most essential part Of the machine.
4 driver can always control the ac-
celebration. or rate OF increase of
speed, but many critical factors
enter into the function Of stopping
the car. such as the rate at which
the car is travelling, the weight Of
the car, the condition of the road.
OF pavement. and especially the eff
flciency Of the brakes. The coudi-
ti0n of this brake mechanism is the
only factor, in reality, over which
the driver can have any control.
There is no greater comfort while
driving q car than the assurance
that the instant one applies the
brakes, the ear will respond i'll q
quiet. soft and easy manner, not
shocking the occupants by swerving
from one side Of the road TO the
other. nor throwing every one out
Of their seats, as is often the case.
The condition Of brakes on the
average ear is appalling, 1t is not
unreasonable to say that 60 percent
of all cars are running today with
brakes in preeariouS condition,
and 80 percent more are menace,
leaving only 10 percent reasonably

PACIFIC FLEET
AT ANCHOR in
SAN PEDRO BAY

san PEDRO, Calf. June IS.
Berthed inside the brenkwater. here,
the grim, grey superdreadnaughts
of the United States battle fleet
today are riding at anchor, home
from four and one-half months
cruise.
p, The population of San Pedro WAS
augmented for the day by some
thousands of relatives and friends
on hand to welcome the 10000 or
more ''gobs'' and Officers that
form the personnel Of the fleet.
Headed by the L. S. s. Califor'
MIA, flying the four-starred banner
of Admiral Richard H. Jackson. the
fleet steamed through the morning
mists shortly before 6 a. m. The
battleships in order were the West
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Arizona, Mississippi and Idaho.
Immediately afterward ship 5
boats together with civilian water
taxis and launches started an un-
ending parade to and from the
warships, bringing ashore sailors on
the first leave and liberty roster.
The vessels of the battle fleet
will be scattered at Pacific Coast
ports over the Independence Day
period, later assembling here and
remaining until July II when they
proceed to"Puget Sound for the
annual summer cruise.

This wonderful instrument con
sists Of four electric motors, each
driving q pair of rollers, upon
which the automobile whose brakes
are being tested, sets, and four
electric meters which indicate just
how much effect each brake has
when applied, thus giving a stimuli
taneous reading ON all four brakes,
or two as the case may be; with an
individual indication.
This enables proper adjustment
to be made so each and every brake
does its intended work at the ex-
pected time. 80
Few people have ever realized
what really good brakes were until
the advent of this truely marvellous
instrument. 1t is worth anyone s
time TO watch the operation of it.
One does not need to see bat one

reasonably expect, to either tighten

see on the brake rigging, or pay
some one more or less competent
than himself to do the same. This

A PINCH OF GOLD"

The ':'piRch was. a common
method Of measuring gold dust in
the pioneer days. One camp in Fl
Dorado county WAS even named
'Pinch' Mc-Tight' because of the
storekeeper habit Of pinching the
dust loosely with his big fingers,
thereby obtaining more gold than if
he pinched tightly. Then there was
Tin Cup Gulch, So named because
, the miners divided the gold each
: night by the use Of q tin cup. Two
empty sardine boxes with dollar
monty used. Another and very ac-
eurate form popular among the min,
ers was the Chinese bamboo scale
about ten inches long and shaped
somewhat in the form of violin.
Later, accurate standard balance
scales were imported and sued at the
mining camps.

POWER PLANT
Property OF People Has
Silver Jubilee

Kitchener, Ont.-Hydro, Ontario's
world-famous public-operated power
system, celebrated its silver jubilee
here. Speakers emphasized that Hy-
dro is so firmly entrenched in public
favor that no one dreams of going
back to private ownership
At present Hydro handles about
100000 horse power. It sells current
to municipalities, Of which 70 have
paid the cost of their plants and their
electric systems are free of debt.
Rural power districts are operated by
the commission. Hydro gives the peo-
pie of Southern Ontario cheaper
light and power than any considerable
sized community in the world Do
mestic rates average less than one
third of charges in the United States.
The commissions last annual report
shows that the average charge for do
nestle use in the United States is IA
cents per kilowatt hour and less than
2 cents IN Ontario for the same SER
vice Rates for commercial light and
industrial power maintain the same
proportion.
The system began 25 years ago
when a few citizens in southwestern
Ontario urged development of Niagara
Falls to produce electric current. The
plan gained in favor because Ontario
had to import coal from the United
States to produce electric power.
Three years later the government Of
the Province of Ontario authorized the
appointment of a commission to in
vestigate the question. In 1906 the
government created the Hydro-Elec-
trio Commission of Ontario.

ASSESSMENT
Levied on Rail Engineers
For Business Plans

Cleveland-A lessening of enthusi-
asm for business ventures marks the
triennial convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers.
The elaborate structure of banks,
trust companies, coal mining and Flor
ida land has compelled the convention
to levy an assessment of $5 month
for "a months on the members. The
assets are known as "frozen"-that
is, they are good, but cannot be moved
at present.
The convention adopted a drastic re-
organization plan. The office of presi-
dent has been abolished, and the new
grand chief engineer, Al Johnston
will be in complete charge of the bro
therhood, as was the rule before the
change under the late Warren S
Stone.
Charges have been preferred against
President Prentner and other officials
who are accused of handling the bro
therhoods affairs carelessly. Assist
ant Grand Chief Bissett was author
lied to Immediately enforce econo
mics in the management of the bro
therhood's Florida land venture.
The brotherhood's insurance fea
lures are in no way involved The del
egates are agreed that their fnancia
affairs will be adjusted and that the
heavy assessment will not continue fol
two years.

ed Mine Workers Journal.
"There is one having its center il
Iowa. Another broke out a short time

backed and financed with money that
comes from coal companies which
would like to destroy the United Mine

companies are assuming a friendly at

PRODUCTION
OF Shoes Highest Since
1923
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-The boot and
shoe manufacturing industry this year
is enjoying an activity which is the
greatest in four years.
Production this year averages ap-
proximately 28,0O0,000 pairs monthly,
the highest rate of output since 1923,
according to data received by the
United States Commerce Department.
Whether this output rate will continue
throughout 1927 is uncertain. But it
is encouraging to those interested in
and allied with this industry which
has been much discouraged for a long
period.
This years rate of production ex-
ceeds, that of last year by 100000
pairs monthly. 1t is greater by 1,000,-
600 pairs than the production rate of
1924 and of 1926 which were about
equal The increase is not startling
but it does indicate that the trend of
activity has at last turned upward
at least temporarily. In 1923 the pro-
duction rate was 100000 pairs of
footwear monthly which is 100000
pairs above the present rate.
The automobile is blamed by many
for the slow pace of the shoe manu-
featuring industry in recent years. 1t
is explained that the motor car saves
wear and tear on footwear. On the
other hand, it is pointed out that
fashion now demands that womer
wear shoes in greater variety thar
formerly and this creates demand
that did not exist few years ago.
