Seven Cents

Unemployment is pretty bad. But work ing half day for seven cents is pretty bad, too. One woman earned that for making three complete dresses. Another got 27 cents for hemng skirts nine hours on end. Three cents an hour. From many points of view this is worse than not working at all. At least the unemployed worker can turn her energy to something for her own benefit if it be nothing more than walking in the open air The worker who is driven to greater and greater speed by her employer for returns like those above is pouring out energy and nerve force at a rate by no means compensated for by her wage
 It seems impossible for more fortunately situated people to believe but it is none the less true that hundreds of women are work ing today 70 hours week for s or $4. And this is not China. where bowl of rice, bit of vegetable and few cups of tea are all a worker expects of life. This is sup. posedly enlightened and up-to-the minute America.

Historic Buildings

The American Institute of Architects is undertaking a survey of buildings in this country historically or arehiteeturally m- portant and worthy of preservation as na- tional monuments. The entire country is included in the work. Along the Atlantic Seaboard only buildings at least 100 years old will be listed. In no part of the eoun. try will the lists include buildings erected since 1850. When the survey is completed, it will be subdividcd into groups according to states and cities. Then the effort will be made to have the buildings listed prop erly cared for and preserved for public inspection and enjoyment.
 Historic monuments in foreign countries are largely under State control which pro- teets them from destruction and deterlora- ton and makes it possible for citizens to visit them, Heretofore this country has been SO much more interested in It's own future than in it's history that it has left cultural affairs largely to public whim. It has been quick to rage old buildings to make way for modern ones, regardless of historic or architectural importance. Good work has been done in recent years by other or ganizations in reseuing a few historical structures here and there. It is reassuring that the Institute of Architects is going in- to the matter more thoroughly and on national scale.

More and more of itl Scarcely day passes but what we don't read of some new insect pest born, or arrived to vex us. Now a couple of Japanese weevils are in our midst adding destruction to that already caused by the countless hordes. There is scarcely vegetable or fruit that can be raised today that is proof against the inroads of these pests. It requires constant work on the part of mankind to combat them. They actually threaten the vegetation of the world. If the battle against them should ever cease for one year their advance would be inealeulable. No man. whether he be amateur or profes- sional gardener should consider his work done until he has taken some toll in the insect world. Spray until your back aches and your arms break.

Chicago Inspiration

A special medal of honor may yet have to be struck for the Chicago Fair to express national gratitude for the stimulus it is giving many industries. It is said that not in many years has there been such railroad passenger movement as that going to Chi. eago. One railroad broke all it's records on . recent weekend when single train. run. ning in IS sections, houled 2.SS4 passen- gers to the fair. Pullman cars long idle are being returned to active service.

The Trees We Have

It Is more important to save trees than to plant trees says Arthur Newton Pack. director of the Pack Forestry Foundation. Trees in this country are not disappearing 50 rapidly as people imagine. And properly managed. they tend to reproduce themselves The main problems. he says, are to thin out the forests, to build roads and trails to pre- vent fires instead of fighting them after they've started. and to combat forest diseases.
 These things call for such cheap labor The forest conservation corps organized primarily to provide employment, is mak. ing a good beginning regarding its forests The same philosophy which applies to vast forests applies also to trees in city parks and famil wards. Some planting is needed. btu it's largely question of taking good care of those already planted. Proper care of trees is something of which most of us are woefully ignorant. Hardly one person in a hundred knows how to saw a dead limb off fruit or shade tree

Wanted-One Bathing Pool

With the temperature lowering around tfe 9S mark we believe it an opportune time to bring to the attention of the proper au- thorities the crying need for either swim ming or wading pool for the children of Watervile. Sweltering weather turns ehi- drcn's thoughts immeditely to bathing. Waterville kiddies since the first part of June have been wishing for a suitable place in which to cool off.
 The old favorte "swimmin hole, London's Pond. at the end of Sheffield street. for many years the popular spot for Waserville children, has been condemned. Haneoek's Brook. below the Blake and Johnson plant and opposite Beardsley and WoIeott. is an unfit place to dip because of the acid dumped into the water from the factories. The Naugatuek River is also unfit for the same reasons.
 That leaves no adequate place for the youngsters to bathe. It has been pointed out that the park department could easily lay out wading pool from the Hancock Brook about opposite the Waterville base ball diamond. Men working for the Mutual Unemployed Fund could be used to com plete the necessary changes for the eonstrue' ton of temporary bathing place. at a minimum cost. Two of the hottest months in the summer are about to begin. In order to swim the youngsters either have 10 90 to Black Rock, above Thomaston, or Sladc' Pond in Oakvlle. Or for the payment of an entrance fec. the children arc permitted to swim at Lakewood Beach.

Crasped Opportunity

Among the thousands of this years crop of college graduates is Wilbur B. Huston. Four years ago any newspaper reader could have told who he was. To do so today takes an awfuly good memory, Huston was the Seattle boy who won the first Edison scholarship and was acclaimed throughout the nation at that time as Americas bright est boy" The publicity and the title might have proved disastrous for the lad Apparently they did not
 The young man has just graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with high scholastic standing. There isn't any moral to the tale, except that boy had a fine opportunity and made the most of it.. Scholarships must be rather satisfactory things to endow, since they mean opponun- ity for ambitious and talented youths. Most of the young men and women winning them make good.

Surxery's Hundred Years

What the past century has witnessed in the development of surgery and what the future may bring were the subjects of an address in Chicago recently delivered by Dr George w. Grille. famous surgeon, before the American Association for the Advance ment of Science. One hundred years ago surgery was in the stone age" of it's his- tory. It was the art of swordsman rather than scientist"
 Surgery then had to be done without an- esthetics or antisepties. It was even without exact science. depending on the surgeons manual skill and his quick intuition. Since then have come anesthesia. methods of an- tsepsis and asepsis prevention and treat- ment of surgical shock. formerly the cause of many deaths. and treatment of hemor. rhage and shock by blood transfusion. To- day surgery eorreets many natural defects. such as web feet and harelip It has been made nearly painless. It deals with every organ and every tissue of the body, even of the brain"
 With this tremendous progress in mind. the great surgeon foresees "a century of fewer operations for bioehemistry and biophysies will tend to supplsnt the scalpel." He sees present-day theories giving way to mathematical equations. He sees diseases now baffling humanity understood and - he hopes -- prevented and cured.
 It is a fascinating inspiring and reasuring vision. Some progress seems dubious and futile but not this progress in mastering disease.

One of the high lights of

One of the high lights of the ocean voyage of President Roosevelt up the Atlantic coast 10 this writer's way of think ing was a recent declaration of his in which he pointed out the fact that along the entire stretch of the U.

And 1t wouldn't be necessary to establish but the ordinary eus- toms officials at ports of entry were it not for our reciprocal prohibition agreements. The unfortified Canadian border. though, is q source of wonder tc the entire world.
