Kept Too Safely

TTOW was I to know that there
L i was any point in keeping a
cancelled mortgage? In plays where
the old deacon is thWarted in the
last act he invariably tears up the
mortgages and filings them in the
Williams face. I didn't tear mine up,
but merely put them aside in some
safe place. They must be there yet.
Putting valuables in safe place
is much more effective than burying
them like pirate gold. In the case
of the safe place not even the owner
can find his own way back to the
spot.
But now the last yard of red tape
has been unwound I've got my
money and I'm rich for the first
time in forty years. l have so much
money that it would be entirely
possible for me never to do another
stroke Of work for 9. month and a
half and yet I can not say that !
am any happier.
There's the responsibility. 1t isn't
sensible to leave any such sum OF
money in the bank According tc
the plays again. the cashier always
bets upon the races and then alb
seconds. Seemingly no mans tips
are ever as bad as those Of a paying
teller.
With the present credit stringency
I suppose Wall Street is the place
for money. But I've tried that ir
q small way. Up to yesterday

Sweat and Cotton

Il amt a-feared of hell because I've spent
twenty summers in the mills" is the way striker
put it.
typical southern cotton mill presents acre
wide area of floor, crowded with clicking humming
machinery Those machines wait to bite off a finger
or a hand of the unwary. I1gn humidity is needed
for spinning and weaving, the water sprays never
stop Windows are closed The air is dank and close.
The mills run day night Men, women, young
girls, children work and sweat together-and cough
together in the Iint-aden air They show the strain
of watchfu and long hours.
Sixty hours is the legal work week in North Caro-
lna and ffty-fve in South Carolina South Carolina
has no adequate workers compensation law; North
Carolina until recently had none at all
Around the mill is apt to be village of company
houses four-room box-ike places all alike They are
supplied to the workers for dollar each week. Ac-
cording to the bosses such cheap rent justhes low
wages Yes the wages are Lowry any standard Not
more on an average than SIS week. probably less.
Only the mill hand can average S2o
Some employers provide churches and pay the par
sons Some extend the state school term out of their
own pockets.
MANY supply recreation grounds and some form
of social welfare and supervision. OF employe or
ganization there is IN most mills none. The workers
talk it over with the boss, and the latters word
goes
Some employers have tried to help the workers,
and have strven desperately to keep up wages in the
face of cut-throat competition. Others seem in the
game simply for profits Nor have the local cham
bers of commerce helped much with their invitations
to northern industry featuring cheap American
labor"
Such were conditions six months ago. Then GER

lively warm air comes in contact with lower layer
of cold air. This is due to the mixing Of the two
masses OF air OF different temperature.
Such mixing is also responsible for the fogs that
frequently overhang the ocean where cold and warm
currents adjacent These currents affect the tenn
perature of the above them and in the consequent
mixing Of the masses of air, the warm mass is cooled
and the vapor in it condensed into fog
The third process by which air loses heat-by rad-
aton--does not have much to do with the formation
of clouds. This is because portion OF air which has
become chilled usually sinks to lower level Cold air
has higher density than warm air.
AS a result, the chilled air sinks to low level
where it is warmed, thus becoming usually warmer
than it was before it chilled.
This, as DR.. Humphreys has pointed out, is one Of
the paradoXes Of eteorology The best way to raise
the temperature of of air is to start out by
lowering it. Then nature will do the rest
Cooling by radiation, however is effective in pro-
ducng fog when the air which radiates its heat al
ready the ground.
Radiation, OF course, refers to the loss of heat by
dissipation redhot piece Of iron for example, left
in the open, is said to lose its heat by radiation
The fourth method by which of air becomes
cooled-nanely, eXpanson--is the most important of
all in so far as cloud formation is concerned.
Cooling by expansion is responsible for the forma
ton of the great bulk of clouds.
This will be discussed In detail next.

about with thenl-or by infected
food, water, or milk.
The germs which act on the by
products of digestion and produce
the nauseating gases from the sew
ers do not travel with the gas into
the air and thus affect the human
being.
The sewer gas itself is not poi
son in the same sense as carbon
monoxide if illuminating gas is a
poison.
The sewer gas may mix with the
air and nauseate through its odor,
but it does not produce disease. 1t
is an indication of bad plumbing
