New York.-Bit by bit, we're threatening to catch up with Ameri- cas- past.
 The value of those dear old knickknacks from grandma's what not cabinet have been slowly at taining a value quite apart from the sentimental. The glass paper weight with the falling snow and the angels has long since surrender ed to the antique store man. The old homes of Connecticut and New England in general have been fairly ransacked for old bits of "early Americana" Rag rugs are now being woven in school classes.
 There has been d very fever to track down every cob-Webbed bit of biography and history; to uncover in every garret and cellar some clue to the nations romantic yesterdays.
 Manhattan has witnessed, within the past few months, a Veritable re- naissance of venerable prints. Just Il few weeks ago one of the toniest of the city's shops placed on display several hundred such, showing those stiff and funny looking pugilists standing at listed attention. There were town views and country views, and there was "Gcntleman Jim" Corbett out of the past to ring up the curtain.
 And then. it was suddenly dis covered that the amazing efforts of Messrs Currier and Ives had taken on a worth of from $500 a piece up -depending on the rarity. The sleuthsome M. Russell Grouse of  hot on the trail of these two forgot ten figures.
 If they have slipped your mind, too, scratch the memory bit and think back to those melodramatic Autographs, revealing in color and in black and white, the historic fires and shipwrecks and other disasters. there must have been one around your house; there may be, even noW-particularly if you chance to live out in some rural sec tion where the God Bless Our Home" signs still hang upon the wall.
 These signs, by the way, were also early products of the two en- terprising young men from the New England zone.
 They were to their time what the movie news reels and the newspaper picture services are to the moment. There were no newspaper facilities in their days for picturing in the paper such events as the Chicago fire.
 So in their Autograph shops they would turn to at full speed and oft times within four or five days turn out a picture of the particular event.

These sold from one end of the land to the other, as the news pictures do to day. They have become a definite part of yesteryear's national history.
 There they are-ladies in bloom CTS, graceful clipper ships sailing the seas, the wreck of steamers and skaters in Central park; old-fashion- ed horse races and baseball games- sentimental and quantly humorous records of another era.
 Another reportorial historian ran sacked through the ancient files of the Police Gazette and dragged out any number of amusing pictures and comments on a customs of the time.
 Still another vogue, which has been rapidly growing, is for the miniature reproductions of stage coaches of the early west. Most of the collectors are those who former ly went in for ship models.
 And speaking of antiquarian sub Jects reminds mc-onc of the rever- berant hoaxes in New York has been carried on more or less successfully for years by d couple of smart rac- keteers. They reappear from time to time with copies of newspapers carrying what is purported to. be tho story of George Washingtons death. Saps who know no better buy them, and think they have valuable ac- quisition.
 At least a dozen times a year vari- ous people arrive at the Public Library willing to sell this rare paper for 1000, or whereabouts. Re- search on the part of the librarians has shown that there is no such paper in existence-and if it is, it has escaped their search. Even in that instance the value would be but few hundred dollars.

LIFT ELEVATOR
 PLANNED FOR PARK

Washington, UP)-What is be- lieved to be the longest single shift elevator in the world will be avail able to visitors to the Carlsbad cav erns National park next year.
 Award of construction bids has been made by the National Park Service of the interior department.
 At present the upper levels of the caverns, locatel 750 feet beliw the cave entrance, are reached only by a series of stairways and foot-paths
 When the elevators are installed, 1t is believed the trip from the sur face to the upper levels of the cave will require but one or two minutes. The elevators will travel about as far underground as those in New fork's skyscrapers travel above the ground.
 About 1900 long distance tele- phone messages are made daily be- tween Brussels and Paris, and 1t may soon be necessary to law another cable between the two cities.

Our Own War

WINE we worry about Manchuria, the Paraguay
BOLIVIAN dispute, the Polish corridor and other STU
atoms" let us not forget our own war in the coal
heids OF Harlan county, Kentucky.
If you think this isn't war, read what nineteen
prominent defenders of civil liberties, headed by DR..
John Haynes Holmes, say in a letter to Governor
Elem D. Sampson of Kentucky.
Twelve persons have been killed in Harlan coun-
ty and scores wounded, and ITO persons have been
held for trial on charges of murder, criminal syndical-
ism and banding and confederating,'" says this
letter.
yet no persons responsible for the violence against
the strikers and their sympathizers have been ap-
pretended"
In most wars, correspondents are treated as non
beligerents. Not SO in Harlan county, for two re-
porters have been shot and several deported from
the battlefelds.
On Nov. 16 the Governors of nine bituminous
coal states will gather at Pittsburgh to seek ways of
lettering the economic status of soft coal. 1t is hoped
that their first step will be to persuade the Harlan
county operators to disarm and to follow the usual
methods in vogue in a peaceful republic.

The Six-HOur Day

More than 100000 workers now enjoy the hve-day
week. The Kellogg company of Battle Greek, Mich,
is pioneering in another reform-the six-hour day.
This plant adopted the six-hour day nearly a year
ago. 1t increased the shifts from three eight-hour
units to four six-hour ones, adjusted wages so that
the majority of workers received the old schedule, in
creased the base rate 1872 per cent, and fixed the
minimum at "a for the new six-hour day.
Immediately, officials say, efficiency increased. Less
~fatigued, the workers ended the day without show
ing the usual tendency toward careless work. The
elimination of the meal period and its usual waste
also increased efficiency.
With 20 per cent more workers on its pay roll and
with increased sales, due to strategic advertising, the
plant is moving through what its managers say is the
best business year in its history.
Many Americans now living remember the old two
shift, twelve-hour day. All of us remember the fight
made to prevent the coming of the universal three
shift. eight-hour day. Most of us doubtless will live
to see this four-shift, six-hour day made universal.
When this depression blows over, labor economists
tell us. unless hours are shortened we will have
100000 chronological unemployed. Socially, the re-
form is imperative.
And if one plant may sail p~ro1tably through a de-
pr on year under the six-hour day, many plants
may adopt it without fear of calamity.
