LEARNERS FOR THE BUILDIKG
TRADES
A conference was held st Cleve:
land, Ohio, some days ago, prim
arily to dizcuss plans for securing
apprentices in the bricklaying trade.
It was predicted that an effort
would be made to try again the old
time apprentice system, by which
boys used to be bouud out to learn
a trade,
There has been much complaint
of Jack of workers in the building
and ether mechanical trades, and
there has been a decided preference
by young men for “‘white collar
j\)l)h‘.”
It would scem as il something
ought to be done, by the old time
appientice system or otherwise, (o
give boys a better knowledge of the
bui'ding trades, and equip them to
start out as master workmen il they
desire to. If this were done, ave:-
age young fellows would probably
find that these trades could give
them just as good chance for ad
vancement as they goet in white
eollar jobs.
There is such a demand for new
nouses, that it would scem as il
many capable workmen couud start
out building them on their own ac
count, without needing mueh capi
tal to start with. In many towns,
if a complete list could b madé of
those who had recently crected
dwellings and other buildings, ill
would Le found that a considerable!
number of fellows who previoushy |
were only hired workwen, \n-re'i
starting one or two dwellings on
their own account, |
If such a fellow does well \\‘ith,!
his first efforts, he is likely mf
branch out, aud before many yoars |
be conducting construction opera |
tions on a conxiderable xeale. But|
to accomplizh such a result, a fol |
low must be an all round eraftsman |
with a general knowicdge of me- |
chanieal tools and simple construe- |
tion principles. Some better train- |
ing is needed to make these trades
niore attractive to young men, |
e
APPRECIATION FOR THE |
TEACHERS ;
The closing of the school ,v«:\ri
will bean ap promriate time to say
something in regard to the work of
the teachers. This is a form of
effort which is never fully compens=.
ated. |
A town may gat along if its busi
ness services are not fully up to
dat;e, and it may be a very good
place (o live in for all that. But if
the teaching work is not well dou,el
or if the teactiers fail to inpire the
young people with Ligh purposes,
8 severe blow is struck to the futore
of that community. The ,\0&!:5;
people will take up the fasie Cof
life with poorly trainell winds, with
no visdon of idealism, anfl that
town will drag behind, commerei
!a‘liy. intellectually, and spiritually,
Teachers have a strenuous task.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN
\
‘ . |
- INVENTION FIELD
o ——
l Patent Office Shows Long List of
l Their Achievements.
il
| NOT ALL ARE HOME ARTICLES
i People who Imagine that women
show iittle activity in the field of in
vention would have the surprise of
their lives if they could go over the
records of the United States patent
office, said a recent bulletin of the
women’s bureau of the Department of
Labor. The records of the patent of
fice show that women have invented
everything from a rotary plowshare to
an egg beater, the women's bureau
sald.
“Of course, most of the things wom
en have invented have been articles
for use in the household,” the bulle
| tin added, “a holder for hot utensils,
‘u kettle polisher and seraper, a kitch
| en cabinet, a washing machine, a car
' pet beater, a mattress turner, a mouse
| trap, and so on through a list of near
| 1y 1,400 different items. Next to house
[ hold equipment the largest number of
; inventions was of articles for personal
Fwear or use, such things as hooks and
| eyes, shoe strings, shoes and tooth
brushes, but not all of the inventjons
Pwere as utilitarian as that, One wom
(an even Invented an artificial eyelash,
i Not Confined to Home.
[ “Women's inventive actlvities carry
them much further afield, howeverp
thuan the household, Women on farms
have patented a lot of contrivances to
'muke work easier or more efficient,
and they haven't contined their imagi
nations to poultry raising and dairy-
Jing, but have invented cultivators,
geed planters, tractors and windmills,
ag well as incubators and churns,
| “Phe same thing is true of all the
é(ifll(‘r phases of industry and the pro
fessions. We have found women tak
gln}; out patents for office supplies and
Cequipment, for improvements to steam
!mnl street railway equipment, for
| methods of road building, for ma-
Cchinery of all sorts, as well as for
‘many kinds of tools, musical instru
ments, toys and educational devices.
. “Lt is interesting to know how wom- |
;‘mn came to invent all these different
things. Sometimes just the name of
the invention will tell us what caused |
{ it. IMor instance, anyone who has ever }
Cmilked a cow ean easily imagine what |
caused one woman to invent a cow‘
] tnil holder. Another woman invented
- a cover for pie pans bécause she sgid |
l juicy pies were always overflowing in
her oven, which wasted the best of |
’ hier pie and left her with a dirty oven ‘
| Lo clean. Many of us can sympathize
|\vith the woman who invented a re-‘
enforced wooden bowl after the bowl
in which she was working butter split
in two, spilling the butter into her lap.
A woman whe had spent many hot
| July duys in a hospital invented a spe
] cial ventilutor which would make the
room less staify.
' All “New and Useful.” |
“Of course, we cannotrsiy how prace
tical all these inventions were. The
patent office thought they were ‘new
and useful,) and so granted patents,
and some of the articles we know have
been successfully marketed and are in
general use, But the thing which has
nstonished us most in going over these
records is to find the great variety of
the articles patented by women. This
variety shows more graphically than
perhaps uny other single thing could
how women's activities are spreading
out to cover every field of occupation
and endeavor, These patented inven
tions are one more witness to the fact
that women's interests cannot be rele
gated to two or three narrow fields,
their interests have broadened to in
clude more than the ‘children, church
and kitchen,” which the kaiser thought
were suflicient for any woman.”
SEEK MARK SUBSTITUTE
Cermans Experiment With Bonds
Based on Commodities.
In an effort to find a stable basis
for investment, public and private Ger
muan institutions have floated Issues
based upon soime commodity rather
than on the paper mark, says Consul
Q. N. Nielson of Berlin, in a report
to the Department of Commerce. Rye,
wheat, coal and coke have thus bLeen
used. |
Although a bond based upen a com
modity is not absolute protection for
the iuvestor, purchase of such bonds
is a guaranty that depreciation will he
limited by fluctuations in the price of
the commodities. Further, a relative
! rise in the price of the commodity be- i
» tween the time of investment and ma
[ gurity of the bond gives the investor
| an opportunity to profit, ]

HENS LAY EGGS IN TREES
Wild Strain Asserts Itself In Kingston
Flock.
Some wild strain, lyving dormant for
|yoars in the hens owned by Mrs.
Amelie Henretty, who lives just out
l side of Kingston, N. Y., asserted itself
a few days ago and is credited with
!cuusing the hens to abandon the
' chicken house and go to the trees to
make their nests and lay their eggs.
Mrs. Henretty, who came to town
' the other day to buy an extensicn lad
'del‘, said she was getting too old to
climb trees for hen's eggs. She said
'she was unable to account for the
preferenceswhich the hens are show
ing for the trees, as the hen house is
perfectly comfortable.

|DIVURGES IN FRANCE i
P—— \
Infidelity, Desertion and Lack of
’ Moral Responsibility Given
[ as Main Causes.
| s
Divorces have doubled In Francel
since the war, according to figures
made public recently, l
A general divorce law was first
passed In France in 1884, and in that
year there were 1,657 divorces.
I In 1913, the number of divorces were
15,372, In 1919, when the armies
were being disbanded and people were 1
j free to put their houses In order, this i
|number reached 19,465, In 1920 it
reached 31,465, in 1921 the number
~was 30,498 and the last year 80,7563,
. The causes of this increase of dl
vorces are not tabulated, due to the
secrecy of court proceedings relating
to family affairs.
. However, the general cauges are in
fidelity, desertion and the slow break-
Iin;: ap of the family tie during the
war, with the greater freedom that
' has come to women who began to earn
grlu'ir living during the war. Both
isnxns:, it Is sald, Lave lost in some
{ measure their sense of moral respon
sibility.
’ Another cause given is nervousness
growing out of the war, making both
sexes less able to bear the restraints
and triuls of married life, Yet an
other cause is the tolerance of the
conrts and the ease with which di
vorces tway be obtained, one fuctor of
which 1s the cheapness of the decree,
obtaived through lawyers, who, in re
cent years, have begun to advertise:
“Divorce n three months, on credit,
and no payment unless decree ob
tained.”

F. L. Rawson, healer, metaphysician,
inventor, author, electrical and civil
cngineer, and a few other things, who
is known in London as well as through
out this country, has staked his repu
tation on a statement that the world
will come to an end in or soon after
1926. The world may manage to stick
it out a few years beyond the time
set, but even with everything in its
mundane favor, it cannot last longer
than 1935. That is the absolute limit,
he says.
HATPIN IN LEG 16 YEARS
Found in Muscle of Veteran’s Leg a
Foot From Point ¢f Entry,
A two and one-half-inch hatpin
which had been imbedded for 16 years
in the right leg of Jamesg Counelly.
twenty-seven years old, a World war
veteran of New York, was removed at
a point 12 inches from where it had
entered.
Connelly, who served for two years
in France, had the pin jabbed into
him as a youngster when he was teas
ing a girl. He was reluctant to say
anything about it at the timne, but as
he grew older he became more and
more perturbed over the location of
the pin.
The pin was found with its point in
the muscle of his leg just above the
knee and about an inch below the sur
face. It had worked down at least a
foot.
DOG’S VIGIL EARNS MEDAL
Watched Body of Playfellow Killed
by Automobile.
Pink, a terrier owned by C. Gilbert
Hintz of Reading, Pa., was given a
medal by the Women's Society for Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals of Phila
delphia, through Mrs. Madeline K.
Vandergrift, treasurer. The dog stood
guard for more than 24 hours recently
over the dead body of a companion
canine killed by an auto on a Reading
street, |
The story of eight-year-old Pink de
voted to a dead comrade is now being
used in public and Sunday schools as
an illustration of lessons in fidelity.
After being taken away by his owner,
Pink came back the next day and
passed several hours more of moum-‘
ing at the scene of the accideat, ‘w
