TUESDAY AFTERNOON . FEBRUA RY^. m
THE Rl* HE OF
MORE INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES
IN 192Q THAN YEAR PREVIOUS
THOUGH NUMBER OF WORK¬
ING DAYS LOST BY STRIKES
SHOWS DIMINUTION.
LONDON, Feb. 1.—British labor
has gained a great advance in wages
as well as a further shortening of
working hours during 1920, but the
new year begins with a rising tide of
unemployment.
Increases in wages during 1920
* have amounted to 5,000,000 pojpnds,
und affected 7,547,000 workers.
A labor correspondent of the Liv¬
erpool Post says, however, that it
is probably a modest estimate to say
that the whole of these wage increas¬
es have been swept away by unem¬
ployment and underemployment. For
example, the textile workers to the
number of 1,053,000 received, in the
earlier months of the year, advances
in wages totaling 580,900 pounds a
week. The» greater number of mills
are now running only three, days a
week and it is well within the mark
to put the loss from under-employ¬
ment at 1,000,000 pounds a week.
“In the engineering and shipbuild¬
ing industries 2,202,000 workers re
ceived advances to the amount of
429,500 pounds a week but here
again the wage advance has been more
than lost by unemployment and un¬
der-employment. Dock workers have
had the same sorry experience, and
the lesson which it carries is that in
competitive trades the wage-earning
power can only be maintained on an
output of corresponding value.’’
During the y-ar 533,700 workers
have obtained an aggregate reduction
of 2,071,200 hours a week.
Although there have been more in¬
dustrial disputes than in 1919, the
number of working days lost by
strikes shows a diminution. There
were 1,563 disputes during the year
1920, involving 1,952,000 workers and
26,567,000 days were lost, the latter
being swelled by the coal strike in
October and November,

Belief a Concerning Teeth.
There are curious fancies about
teeth. To dream about teeth was held
to be a warning that sorrow wo* at
hand, and It was atttl more unlucky
to droam of fa tocth falling oat
Many people at 111 throw an extracted
tooth Into ihe fire fbr luck, and this
ta observed specially In the case of
young children to ensure that the re¬
mainder of their teeth wlU come prop¬
erty. Teeth wide apart la eaid to bo
a sign of fotwro prosperity and hap
•luvonlla Wisdom.
The eaaays of school children fr»
quently Impart very curious Informa¬
tion. One boy wrote, “Sugar la mad*
from linen rags.” Another, “To keep
milk from turning sour you should
Istvs It ’n the cow." A third young

Antiquated Old Sheds That For
So Long Were a Disgrace to
Griffin Have Given Way For
More Modem Awnings.
WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE
IN APPEARANCE OF CITY
Despite Cry of Hard Times
Things Are Beginning to
Move in Griffin—Two New
Restaurants, One of Which is
Spending $10,000.00.
The old wooden shed in front of tihe
it Munisavr’’ grocery store at 115
South Hill street has been removed.
This is a type of sheds that for many
years were an eyesore and disgrace
to Griffin, and its removal marks the
last of these Unsightly sheds between
Taylor street and Slaton avenue. The
new Munisavr proprietors are to be
congratulated on their progress and
determination to be modern in the
conduct of their business. There are
jseveral more old sheds in otiher sec¬
tions that should come down and will
come down soon, we understand.
In this connection, other things in
Griffin ate beginning to move, de¬
spite the cry of hard times. Things
are brightening every day and there
is considerable activity in the build¬
ing line as well as more life in bus¬
iness.
The B. & B. Company, of Birming
ham, which owns a chain of restau
rants throughout the South, has re
cently leased the George building,
comer of Broad and Eighth
and is putting a in fine new eating
establishment there. The building is
being remodeled and ten thousand
dollars will be spent in improvement
there.
Tom Oxford is opening up a new
restaurant in the room in the rear
of the Griffin Pharmacy on
Solomon street. He is fitting
place, up handsomely and will have
a nice eating place.
There is considerable building
repair work going up in other parts
of the city.
Na- SUBSTANCE TO
Writer Gives Reasons for Her
to Have Any Belief in Common
Superstitions.
The mind during sleep reminds me
a naughty child, writes Marion
In the Chicago Dally News. With a
normal person during waking hours
reason controls it and when It
inclined to let loose a foolish train
of thought rebukes It with “Nonsense 1
behave yourself 1 But when reason
goes to sleep the mind has seasons
of wild capering. It makes you do
things that when awake would scorch
you with blushes. It causes you to
go to church dressed In your very
best except your shoes and stockings,
which you find you have left at home.
It makes you marry a dark man with
big black whiskers when you already
have a perfectly satisfactory husband
who to blond and smooth faced. There
to nothing that It will not do uncon
trolled by reason. Therefore I never
have had much faith In the prophetic
quality of dreams, although there are
persons who pin their faith to those
so-called warnings. We have heard
them say. “I dreamed last night that
I had lost a tooth. That means bad
news, or “I dreamed of walking
among rained buildings. That means
that somebody in the family is going
to be ill,” and, like fortune telling, the
predictions that do not “make good”
are forgotten.
A recurrent dream is of no Impor¬
tance. I have known the same stage
setting with its Incidents to be pre¬
sented over and''over in sleeping vis¬
ions without ever reaching Its coun¬
terpart in reality. An uncomfortable
position during sleep, or the fact that
you are not feeling well often occa¬
sions troubled (dreams.
Glue Strohfler Than Steel. ,
A new field for wood has been
opened by the use of what is called
ply-wood and glue made from the
blood of the animals killed at the
slaughter house and of the casein, ob¬
tained from milk.
Remarkable sturdiness under all con¬
ditions has been shown by ltd* com¬
bination. The combination waa first
thought of In connection with the iaan
ufaeture of airplanes.
Thin sheets of wood are laid one
over the other with flry sheets of pa¬
per coated on both sides with the
new glue. The mass Is then heated
under pressure and the result Is that
a structure is formed which Is strong¬
er than steel and has many other ad
vantuges over metal.
Panels were glued together with
these and tested In boiling Water for
eight hours. At the exptratlAn of this
time none of the pieces showed any
reparation of the piles.
Looked Like Net Player.
Lets, aged five, was visiting In tbo
country, and. seeing a potato bug tor
the first time, she asked: “Mamma,
does files play tennlsT'
“No, dear,” replied the mother.
“Why do you aakl"
“Because," answered the little miss,
“I just saw one with a sweater on."

TAPPING OF SUGAR TREES IF
DONE PROPERLY , AS SOME
HAVE BEEN TAPPED OVER 100
YEARS AND STJLL IN GOOD
CONDITION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—Remem¬
ber the days when you went to the
maple sugar parties? Well, maple
sugar time is here. The sugar and
syrup industry is American and of¬
fers good commercial opportunities. Canada
Only the United States and
produce this much-prized product on
a commercial scale, which is at once
a delicacy and a highly nutritious ar¬
ticle of diet.
Warm days and cold nights are es¬
sential to a satisfactory flow, and the
sugar content may vary considerably
from day to day. Tapping of sugar
trees if done properly in no way in¬
jure the, tree. Trees have been tapped
for more than 100 years and are still
in good condition. The maple is well
up among the leaders in American
Forestry Association’s vote for a na¬
tional tree.
Tap early in the season, says a
special bulletin to obtain, the earlier
run, which are generally the sweet¬
est, and therefore the best producers.
Makers have lost half and even more
of their crops by not being prepared
for the first run. In general, the as
sociation points out, the season is
toady to open during the first or mid
rle of February, in the southern sec
tion and later in the northern regions
when days are becoming' warm—
when the temperature goes above
,
freezing during the day and at night
j below bright, freezing. and If the days are very
warm, sunny the sap will
start with a rush but soon slaken, or
„
if a high wind starts the flow i IS
checked.
A thirteen thirty-seconds of an
inch bit is often used. Its direction
should be slightly upward into the
tree, the slant allowing the hole to
drain readily. With an ordinary tree
the hole should not be over 1 1-2 to
2 inches deep at best. Appartus for
syrup and sugar making does not nec¬
essarily represent a large outlay. A
number of sap spouts, either wooden
or metal, are needed. The syrup is
usually gathered in buckets.
From 10 to 15 trees usually will
yield enough syrup for family use to
make tapping worth while, and in
many cases will afford a surplus
which can bF sold at remunerative
price. .The flow of sap depends upon
1 the age, condition and habit of growth
of the trees, also upon the character
i of the weather and condition of the
sol! durin £ the sap-flowing „ season. In
! a good season a tree is 15 inches in
i diameter will yield sufficient sap to
make from 1 to 6 quarts of syrup,
which in turn can be concentrated in¬
to 2 to 10 pounds of sugar. Larger
trees under the same condition will
produce correspondingly large quan¬
tities of syrup and sugar, Alf hard
maple trees, 8 inches or more in
ameter, may be safely and profitably
tapped for syrup.
This industry is not confined in
New England, and New York. There
are many “sugar bushes” throughout
eastern and northeastern United
States and south to include North
Carolina, and Tennessee; west to
northern Missouri, Iowa and Minne¬
sota. A considerable number of maple
trees of a sugar yielding species are
found in Washington and Oregon.
