Gratz Shoe Store
Serves Many Here

The w. H. Gratz Shoe Store on
North Main street is becoming the
acknowledged foot comfort service
store of an enlarging territory.
Mr.. Gratz, who has made a study
of feet and footwear from cor
rective angle, now has accumulated
pedagraph records of some one
thousand cases of foot trouble.
In studying these records, it is
interesting to note that large per
cent of cases now definitely recog-
nized as foot troubles, were a few
years ago attributed to old age or
rheumatism.

SOftening Water

For workers in occupations neces-
stating frequent handwashing, the
water used should be softened in or

ness. The following mixture is rec
commended for this purpose: glyc-
crime, 10 parts; borax, parts; so
dunn carbonate, 2 parts; or
ange flower water, triple, 85 parts.
A teaspoonful of this mixture in a

Installation of the new 750 K. w
turbo-generator at the Bluffton
Municipal Light and Power plant
will give the town the same type
modern generating equipment found
in much larger cities.
Placement and testing of the gen.
orator will be completed in May,
and its use not only will give Bluff
ton improved service, but the guar
antee under which it is sold assures
operating economy of at least 40
per cent.
Purchase of the turbine marks
another step forward in expansion
of the local plant.
When the municipal plant was
first equipped, it was impractical to
consider turbine generating equip
ment due to the fact that the load
was not heavy enough. For econ
omies in operation turbo-generator
should not be used when the load
is less than 500 K. w.
Bluffton's peak load in the early
days of the municipality owned plant
was less than $50 K. W., and it has
been only in recent years that the
demand reached the 500 mark.
Three Skinner Unifow engines
now used at the plant to generate
current. Two of them will be re.
tained for use in case of emergency

Mining Town Rebuilt
AS Social Experiment

Giving a town new life has been
a successful experiment at Bryn-
mawr, South Wales. For some ten
years more than a third of the popu-
lation of the town of about 10000
inhabitants, normally engaged in
coal mining, haze been virtually
without work. Into this valley some
two years ago came the Society of
Friends, who were so moved by the
poverty prevailing there that they
set about devising ways of economic
and physical revival.
First, a study council was formed
in which more than 200 persons rep
resenting every section of local life
were enrolled. The council investi-
gated health, education, finance,
occupation, ETC. Various town i'm
provements we're effected and are
being extended, and the task of es-
tablishing new industries was
tackled with vigor and courage.
Under the roof of an old factory
once commercially engaged in boot
making, there is being conducted to-
day under the style of Brynmawr
and Clydach Valley Industries, Ltd,
an unusual experime mt in co-opera-
tive manufacture of furniture,
woven wool fabrics, and hosiery.
To these there is attached a
scheme of poultry-keeping, for
which part of the factory is used
as offices and stores, The old boot
making plant was purchased at low
cost, and a small number of men
and girls produce about 300 pairs of
miners boots weekly at profit Or
ganiZed market gardening and allot-
ment-holding are also in prospect.
Furniture making is at present
the most active side of the factory,
a number Of youths having been
trained by an expert. School and
house furniture has been turned
out and sold in all parts of England
and Wales. Boys are engaged in
producing hard-wearing wooden
tweeds, taking the wool from the
sleeps back to finished rolls of ma
terial working under an artist in
coloring and design. About 20 girls
are employed in Misunderstanding of
socks worn by miners. It is now
virtually certain that all the enter
prises will be commercially success
full.
