Knife in Slot, Eosy Twist. or Comes Cap

Knife in Slot, Eosy Twist. or Comes Cap
HOUSEWIVES no longer need send
Il Il out an SOS for two-fsted hubby
to put on kitchen wrestling match in
opening some containers, which, like
small boys, often stubbornly refuse to
have their caps removed. Homemakers
generally prefer the screw-on type Of
closure for glass jars, but even that
popular cap sometimes is difficult to
remove. -.....~~,~
This perplexing problem has been
solved by one progressive closure man
ufacturer who has introduced what 1c
appropriately called knife-opening
cap. The cap is made of metal and
differs from other closures in that on
its top is a grooved slot.
To open any glass container equipped
with this type of closure, simply tap
around the outer rim Of the cap with
the knife handle, insert the blade of an
ordinary table knife into the groove in
the top of the cap. This supplies the
necessary leverage to enable one to un-
screw the cap. To reseal the jar, screw
the cap on tightly by hand, or if you
wish, you may again use the leverage
of the knife to effect seal as tight as
the original.
Consumers acceptance of this new
type cap is evidenced by the report
from the manufacturer that many mil
lions have been sold to food packers
since the first of the year.

MILL VILLAGES

There is wel-known story of man who was
chased by a bear. He was lodging the bear around
a tree In trying to grasp the man, the bear sank
his claws very deeply in the tree. The man tried
to hold the paws there, but shouted won't some
body come and help me turn this bear loose
MANY cotton mill executives feel that way about
their mill villages. They would like to get rid OF
them and wish they did not have the village prob
lem on their hands. The mill village was at one
time an absolute necessity in the South. Where
most of the mills in this section were established,
the workers were brought in from elsewhere and
there would have been housing for them, unless
the new mills established villages. The capital IN
vested in mill village does not bring an adequate
return 1t is the least productive part of the mlls
total capital And ownership of mill villages SUBJ
iects mills to unfair legislation sponsored by poll
ticians whose only aim is to corral votes and who
do not care q snap of their fingers as to the effect
of legislation they sponsor to round up votes.
How mills feel on the village question is proven
by the fact that most mills are now running dou-
bic shifts yet few have enlarged their villages to
house additional workers. Those additional work
ers rent houses where they can and often have to
use cars to get to and from their work. In addi-
ton to the cost of transportation to and from
their work. they have to pay more for worse houses
and higher prices for water and electricity than
their fellow workers housed in the mill villages

methods are so easily counterfeted by racketeers
and criminals The spokesman for "labor," who
are so ambitious to write the country's laws, to
dominate congress, and to bend the federal courts
to their purposes, would be more deserving of in
fluence if they should spend year or two in per-
forming successful job of housekeeping on their
own part Let them join in protecting the public

rule the country, are not friends of working men,
