EXPERIMENTAL CHANGE

Boys Seeking Second Glass Rank To Go Directly Before Court

temporary change in the awarding of rank in the New Britain Boy scout council will be tried this month, when scouts seeking promo ton to second class rank will not b., required to appear before the board of review but will go directly before the court Of honor This is an eN- pertinent Of the council, and wheth- er or not this practice Of dispensing with the reviewing body will be made permanent depends upon the standard maintained by 'he officers of the individual troops, Executive Q, A.

London, March 6.--tP-Though all the world bares its head in the

 He is Michael Constantine de Courcy, Baron Kinesale, who en- joys this curious privilege by virtue of q hereditary prerogative granted 500 years ago in the time Of King John.
 The privilege has been exercised only five times. Almericus de Courcy in 1869 kept on his hat before Will liam III, as did Gerald Lord kingsale before George I and George II.

the future, thought both prolonged and anxious has
been devoted, for although replenished BY the discov-
cry OF new oil-bearing fields, discoveries OF the kind
can not continue indefinitely. A matter with an I'M
portant bearing on the question is the possible exist
ence OF petroleum reserves, not only in new regions
but 1t new depths in regions already important for
their oil output. An extension in two directions, both
specifically and prependieularIy. would place the point
Of exhaustion far in the remote future.
To sink q we'll a little deeper when its flow began
to decline has probably been done often. To 70 down,
however, hundreds Of feet farther in a field in which

ago the experiment in an abandoned field gave re-

Cais which town derives q handsome income on oil

II is predicted that new history in the oil industry

Dcplorable conditions are indicated in the recent
report OF the state labor department which shows that
more than half the women and girls employed in in
dustry in Texas are working for wages insufficient ito
provide the minimum requirements Of a decent exist

The survey made by the department covers every
branch Of industry, and shows that a. per cent Of the
women and girls employed in industrial establishments
earn as much as SIS per week. An accompanying re-
port On living costs fixed SIS . week As the minimum
upon which any woman depending upon her own re-
eources can live.
Declaring this condition grave" Labor Commits
sioner Charles McKsemy mme the enactment
OF a workable minimum wage law for women and chill
dren designed to remedy existing conditions and to
assure living wage for all workers.
The conditions we're revealed in inspections made
in 5.474 establishments employing 1926 workers. o.
which 1885 were men. $500 women. and 1879 children
under Is years Of age. Sixty five per cent Of the men
reporting we're found to Be receiving SIS per week or
over.
According e the report, printing and publishing
concerns have the best record in the matter Of wages
and hours. Lowest average wages we're being paid BY
~Iaundries. and the longest hours we're exaeted in hotels
and restaurants.
"A special survey Of the textile mill industry re-
,ealed that the rs mills reporting employ 5,cs6 work
ers and operate on an average schedule Of IS hours q

women $3.50. In s54 instances wives were found TO
be employed in the mills along with their husbands
and 222s children under Is years OF age were working.
-Four hundred and nineteen families were renting their
living quarters from the mills; 270 families rent from
others, and only ia families owned their own homes.

formal notices that infractions Of the labor laws must
cease. and that employers must install proper guard

The next legislature will be asked to take some
action TO remedy labor conditions, especially those az

changes will come from every section Of the state.

Utilization of Cotton

New uses for cotton will be demonstrated by the
C. :. Department Of Agriculture assisted by the Cot
ton Textile Institute, at the national cotton show IN
Memphis in October. according TO announcement by
the department. which, during the past four years has
devoted much time to the study Of this subject.
As a result Of the research by department experts
cotton is now being utilized for many textiles formerly
woven from other fibers. and new chemical and indus
trial uses for the southern staple have also been dis
covered. Hundreds Of thousands OF bales are now be-
ing used for these purposes. expanding the market for
the product and stabilizing the price TO a great extent.
According ID the bulletin issued BY the department
the exhibit will cover an area cf more than 5000 square
feet. the main feature covered BY a cotton canopy Of
vivid stripes. In this area there will be a full exposi-
tion Of the United States cotton standards and their
use In the marketing Of the staple The utilization Of
cotton seed and Of cotton linters will be shown in hun
dreds Of products from animal feeds to cellophane,
the new transparent covering for fruits and vegetables
The processes Of cotton warehousinT and the work
ines Of the u. S. warehouse act will be depicted.
OF special interest in the government exhibit is a
model automobile in connection with which is shown
the various ways and places where cotton enters the
manufacture Of motor cars. Approximately IS pounds
Of cotton on the average is used in each automobile in
the manufacture Of tires, seat cushions and covers, tops
and other parts.
Another feature in which the department has aided
in increasing cotton consumption is in new fabrics and
dress designs. The products Of cotton linters such as
paints, mattresses, feting, cellulose, explosives and
similar commodities represent branches which have
been extended in recent years.
The utilization Of cotton for cotton bagging will be
demonstrated at the Memphis exhibit, four bales hav-
ing been shipped to Germany and returned as a test
or durability. The cotton was baled at Henderson, N.
c.; shipped to Norfolk, Va, where the bales we're con-
pressed to high density; then reshipped to Philadelphia
and handled in a warehouse at that point; and thence
shipped to Bremen, Germany. The bales received twice
the handling usual in international trade, but the cot
ton bagging is in excellent condition. indicating il can
be substituted for jute and provide a market for a
large quantity Of low grade cotton.
The object OF the Memphis exhibit is to impress
rpon southern cotton growers what the department is
doing to aid the industry. and the achievements OF re-
cent years in developing new uses and additional mar
kets for the southern staple. This work has been Of
ksst Importance to the entire south, and the experts Of
khs department state that they have merely begun, pre-

There il no danger Of the earth disintcgrating,
and millions Of years from now the chief constituents
Of the earth will be just what they are today-hydro-
gen. oxygen. silicon and iron. The sun will maintain
its uosition as the source Of energy used BY man or
possibly another sun will come into being when the one
we now have Is exhausted.
The recent exact measurement Of the amount a
lead III the Black Hills uranite, and o. the exact atomic
weight OF that lead. is not usually regarded as a great
engineering undertaking nor as an accomplishment
fraught with important useful consequences. But !
venture the estimate that the knowledge that has come
from that ard similar experiments, to the effect that
this world already has had a lifetime Of at least a
billion years and that man has. in all probability, an
other billion years ahead Of him in which there Is tn
possibility Of his learning 20 live at least a million
times more wisely than he now lives, is likely to have
in the long run a much larger influence upon human
conduct than the invention Of either the airplane ~
the radio, important and prominently useful though
these be.
In the light Of Industrial Importance there have
been four recent developments which were not gener-
ally regarded as useful. These were: The discovery
Of the relation between mass and energy; the develop
ment Of methods Of making exact atomic weight de-
examinations; the discovery OF cosmic rays and the
development OF quantum-relativity mechanics
The earth will not disintegrate because the great
majority Of the elements such - constitute the bulk
OF our world are in their state Of maximum stability
already.

myself have shown that the eosmie rays indicated the
