Trade Union Benefits

A striking instance of the assist
ance which unions in the American
Federation Of Labor give to their un-
employed members and their families
lis revealed in the fact that during the
last six years New York Photo Eng
Igravers Union No. /, an affiliate of
the international Photo Engravers'
Union of North America, has distrib-
|uted $4,000,000 among three thousand
members in unemployment benefits
during the last six years. The aver
age number of idle in that period was
500 at a time.
The amount paid by the New York
Photo Engravers Union multiplied bv
many other locals affiliated with the
standard national and international
unions making up the American labor
movement raises this 100000 many
times and brings certain amount of
security to thousands of trade union
members and their dependents.

STATE GAS TAKES ON 1000
MILE TRIP

The average motorist taking va
cation trip of 1000 miles this sum-
mer will pay about $3.50 State tax
es, according to statistics by the Bur-
eau of Public Roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
return, he has the choice of about
1000 miles of surfaced road, over
any part of which he may take his
trip. His inclinations may take
him to the mountains, the sea-
shore, on trancontinental trip, or
back to the old homestead. Wherever
the choice, it is likely that a surfaced
road has been built to it and is wait
ing for his use.
On his trip he will pass numerous
road construction jobs and many
maintenance crews at work. Much
of the construction costs and major
part of the maintenance costs are
paid with the Motorists contribution
of one-fourth of a cent per mile of
travel. This figure is based ON the
average gasoline tax rate Of 1856
cents per gallon and the assumption
of 16 miles of travel to the gallon of
gasoline. 1t does not include the
Federal tax of l cent per gallon.
Were the early toll roads still in
existence; were there enough Of
them to make a 1,O0O-mile trip; and
were the old rates for coaches ap-
piled to automobiles, the motorist
would be charged $25 for his trip.

Woad Cultivation Given
Up by British Farmers

An English newspaper records the
passing of woad culture in Great
Britain-the last known area of woad,
in Lincolnshire, having been dis
played by potatoes and sugar beets.
Woad or dyer's weed is biennial of
the cabbage family, which attains a
heights of three or four feet, says
writer in the Rural New Yorker. A
blue dye is obtained by macerating
the leaves in water. According to
historians the ancient Britons decor
ated their bodies with this plant, dye
ing their skins blue. The plant is
native of Great Britain, and its use
as a dye is very ancient. Modern
chemical research has displaced 1t, as
other materials are now used to
greater advantage. Studies in eco
nomic botany shows us many other
plants, formerly of great value in the
arts, which have gradually fallen into
disuse. Such changes may mean hard
ship to individuals where the plant in
question has been money crop. Per-
haps, at the present time, some old
fashioned English farmer is lament
ing the newfangled dyes that have re-
placed woad, just as his remote an,
cestors complained of the new fash
ions in costume brought into the land
by the Roman conquest of Britain.

PROGRAM FOR AGRICULTURE
AND RURAL HOMES

A Program for Maryland Agricul-
ture and rural homes" has just been
issued by the University of Maryland
extension service, in which there are
set forth definite detectives in each
of the major phases of the industry
and rural life, toward which it is be-
lieved the people of the state may
well work during the next five or
more years.
DR.. T. b. Symons, director of the
extension service, states that this pro-
gram was outlined with the cooper
alton of the experiment station and
other departments of the University,
and the leaders Of state agricultural
and women's organizations. 1t
attempts to give, he says, some OF the
general lines of work that may prof.
itably be carried on and some of the
detectives that may be reached in
Maryland agriculture and rural life
during the next few years. 1t pro-
vides, he believes, "a well-balanced
program for safe farming, including
production of food for the family,
feed for farm animals, and cash in
come from products placed on the
| market"
This program, he states, combines
the ideas of farmers, specialists and
the leaders of rural organizations.
Following meetings of farm men and
women in the several counties at
which they considered trends and ar
rived at recommendations for devel-
opments during the next few years,
specialists in the various lines made
their recommendations, and finally
the proposed program was considered
by conference of leaders.
Included in the various phases of
the program are: Farm Crops and
Soil, Dairy, Livestock, Poultry,
Landscape Gardening, Fruits, Market
Gardening, and Truck Crops, To-
bacco, Canning Crops, Forestry,
| Marketing and Distribution, Insect
Control, Plant Disease Control, Seeds,
Farm Management and Economics,
Agricultural Engineering, Home I'M

Portrait of a Squire.

We have been digging around a
lot lately for choice tidbits about
that remarkable gentleman and
cabinet maker of Eighteenth CEN
fury England, Thomas Chippendale.
And we ran across this paragraph
in one of Sarah Lockwood's books:
"Chippendale was apparently born
to give expression to the inarticu-
late soul of the country gentleman
of his time. In that day of por-
traits there was no more perfect
portrait of the English squire than
one of Chippendale's chairs; hand
some, outstanding, stout in the legs,
broad in the seat, straight in the
back and square in the shoulders. :"
Chippendale was certainly the
most versatile and prolific of fur
'niture makers, and his designs
have a distinguishing individuality
about them that survives genera
tons of copying. The first important
worker in mahogany, new wood
when he came first to London, he

Small Adventures in
Peril From Poison Gas

The adventurous spirit Of youth
often sends boys into caves which
slope downward into dead end
where poison gas Is likely to settle.
They will enter underground pipes
and 60 in search of adventure which
too often ends in tragedy. Abandoned
mines, with their dark and mysterious
interiors, offer lure that at times
cannot be resisted.
Like many an adventurer, these un-
warned youngsters walk unsuspecting-
ly into the arms Of death. When the
first dizziness of nausea attacks them
and they turn to seek safety, it is
often too late and they fall dying be-
fore they can reach the open air.
That is why the bureau Of mines
has laid so much stress on the board
ing up Of abandoned mine shafts, the
testing Of air in sewers, the warnings
to parents to discourage their chill
dren from too much exploring in
caves and other underground places
