Work Week Length in
Sweden Varies From
"a to 48 Hours

Stockholm, Sweden.-Wide varia-
tion in the actual hours of work in
different industries was revealed by
an inquiry carried out by the Swedish
department of labor and social well
fare to determine the extent to which
reduction in hours has been made nec-
essary by the business depression.
The data applied to the first fort
night of March, 1882, and covered
1894 undertakings with 238,653
workers.
The general average was found to
be as hours in the week. The low
est figure, 80 hours, was in iron
mines, in some of which employers
have reduced the hours of work to
"a per week, which is so per cent
below the normal level
In the quarrying industry the aver
age hours were 38 per week, while
the average for the larger industrial
groups, including iron and steel, the
stone and clay industry, the wood in
dustry, leather, fur, rubber, and
match factories and the building in
dustry varied between 80 and 45 per
week.

Perhaps the first great need for the
telegraph was in the control of the
movements of railroad trains.
Something faster than trains was
needed.
But that was not the occasion for
the invention by Morse.
Your inventor is just funnel.
Through him pass the inherited
qualities of his ancestors.
These qualities form a kind of
sieve, that Sits out ideas.
He also receives and sits the i'm
pressions from his daily life.
His environment runs a stream of
ideas through his mind.
From the crossing, mingling, fitting
of these two sets of ideas
Passing through the creative, con-
structive channels of that magma
From these there issue new combi-
nations of ideas
New models of machines
New processes.
There are many such minds in
America.
They are working on parallel lines
Inevitably
The same sets of facts are brought
to their attention, very often.
They often have the identical re-
suit in similar inventions.
There are about 1900 cases each
year of such condolences"
The patent office calls them "inter-
ferences."
Of the major inventions, 148 were
thus made simultaneously by differ
ent persons.
Just now we need some non-me-
chanical inventions.
We need some new things in poll
tics.
There should be dingus that will
hook up the government little closer

CASH BUYING IS

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-Cash
buying is on the increase as against
credit or installment buying, as fig-

Der OF credit surveys will show, ac-
cording to advance information.
This does not mean that there is
any gain in the volume of commodities
bought. The surveys in question do
not enter that field. They concern
themselves with the status of credit
and cash buying in relation to each
other in the matter Of percentages.
1t will be shown also that the per-
centages Of repossessions have grown

chandising establishments, while the
credit buyer is losing some of the
aura surrounding those whose "word'
or resources are as good as currency
in hand.
But back of all superficial meanings
is the story of the falling buying
power Of people. Loss of work has
necessarily meant loss of credit and
loss of ability to continue payments
on obligations assumed prior to the
loss of work. 1t is said that forth
coming figures will shatter some of
the optimism that has been general
as to the manner in which payments
have been met on goods bought
before misfortune. Two or three
national organizations are compiling
figures soon to be complete, showing
it is revealed, that the past year had
had, if anything, more shadows in
family circles than have been sus-
pected. These figures, however, will
not deal with current gains and will
in no way bread down or assail sta

ployment gains.

use In the Christian churches of Eu-

Ba.i. for Old Relief

Popular belief that the fertility Of
the soil Is increased In spots where
lightning strikes probably has some
scientific basis. says Pathfinder Mag
azine. The electrical shock may have
an effect In rendering the minerals In

elements of fertility more available to
planta This belief is only distantly
related to another one, namely. that
lightning fixes nitrogen and that the
general soil fertility is improved
through this tixation.
