Ea EL AMERICANS MOST PRODUCTIVE RACE Labor Department Solicitor Gives Workers Credit, Chicago.—Americans today are the most productive people of any coun- try or of any age in the world, enjoy- ing high standards of living and em- ploying to great advantage to the laborer and to the country as a whole machinery to an unprecedented de- gree, Judge Theodore G. Risley, so- licitor of the Department of Labor, de- clared. “The wagld realizes more than ever that labor is the creator of all wealth,” he said. “In the depths of the mine, in the gold of the harvest, by the throbbing engines, the flaming, fur- naces, the whirring spindles and on the foam-crested seas labor creates and produces the products of neces- sity, comfort and beauty that are es- sential to feed, clothe, support and better mankind. “The United States is enjoying re- markable industrial and economic prosperity while other nations are struggling to meet the problems of unemployment and economic depres- sion, said the speaker. One of the surprising achievements of modern in- dustrial history has been the rapid process by which this country has re- covered from its disturbed and de- ranged social, industrial and economic conditions following the World war,” he said. “The re-employment of several mil- lions of unemployed laborers and the maintaining of a wage scale practical- ly equal to, and in many instances greater tham that of the war scale is regarded by other countries as little less than a political phenomenon” the speaker continued. In di.cussing the vast number of legislative enactments and proposals affecting labor of this country, Judge Risley declared that the objects of such labor legislation should be the safeguarding of the rights and the in- werests of the laborer, the conserving of his health, and to afford him oppor- tunities which enable him to live in cemfort and respectability, properly to educate and rear his family and to en- able him by thrift and industry to lay by enough to care for hi. family and to shake off the hau.ing fear of pov erty in old age. Find Weave Lets in Rays More Than Fabric Washington.—To be bathed by the beneficial ultra-violet rays, wear open- weave fabric. To test the claims that artificial silk cloth allowed large amounts of the health-giving short wave lengths of sunlight to pass through, various fabrics were submitted to test at the national bureau of standards. Cot- ton was found to be nearly as trans- parent to the ultra-violet fight, as vis- cose and cellulose acetate, and real silk had about the same transparency as cotton The viscose artificial silk was more transparent than that made from cel- lulose acetate but the maximum trans parency measured was only 27 per cent. Dyes or the yellowing due to age was found to reduce the trans- mission to only about 5 to 10 per cent and in most fabrics the threads oc- cupy 95 to 99 per cent of the total space. The experts conclude that the com- position of- the fabric is of less im- portance than the coarseness of weave. Volcano Causes 2 Pacific Islands to Be Made One Dutch Harbor, Alaska.—News cov- ering the recent volcanic disturbance in Bering sea reached here recently via the coast ard cutter Northland. The vessel visited Bogoslof island to examine new formations. The older rock mass is unchanged but the volcano has thrown up huge piles of broken lava several hundred feet high. One of these deposits of solid lava has raised a spit between Castle rock and Nepnick islands, so they are now connected. Bogcoslof is constantly emitting clouds of vapor. All sea birds have micrated south but countless sea lions haul out onto the newly formed land daily to enjoy the warm mists from the vapor clouds. The union of the islands is the spot where McCullough peak sank 20 years ago.

OM REYNOLDS was asking Mil- dred for the umteenth time when she would be likely to make up her mind to marry him and Mildred was smiling very charmingly into Tom's anxious eyes when she suddenly leaned forward and stared at the umbrella in the hands of the man in the seat ahead of them. “Pom,” whispered Mildred and had to lean so close to Tom's ear that her soft lips almost brushed his cheek and naturally Tom didn’t mind how long her whispering conversation might be, “that man has an umbrella that looks exactly like Brother Fred's —in fact,” she added, craning her neck a bit, “I am absolutely certain it is Fred's umbrella—the one I had the misfortune to lose when I was in London two years ago. Tom,” and Mildred became fearfully coaxing, “do you mind asking that young man where he got that umbrella?” “Mildred! Have you gone nutty? Do you think I want to question all the people in this bus as to where they got the various bits of personal belongings they have with them?” Mildred shook her head. “No—I know that is it. Fred only lent it to me that day in London because I had on my new Paris suit and he didn’t want me to spoil it first thing. I left it on the train and didn’t have time to oo back and inquire as we sailed the next day for home. Please, Tom, ask him.” But Tom steadfastly refused. “All right!” Mildred’s chin had sone out a bit and her eyes flashed her ingefition. Before Tom could stop her she had leaned forward and in the most heavenly voice in the world was asking the perfectly strange man to excuse her being rude, but would he mind telling her where he got that umbrella. The stranger turned round, looked only ence into Mildred’s eyes, and Tom had a beastly feeling that the game was up. “Why no,” Jim Weldon answered with a ready smile which side slanted and included Tom in its generous pro- portions, “as a matter of fact, I got it in London at a small lost property office on the Strand. It came on one of those swift showers while I was just outside the funny little passage that leads to the office and I stepped in.” Mildred laughed. “Well, it's really quite funny,” she said, “to see that umbrella again for I lost it on a train in London. My brother lent it to me and I felt dreadful when I lost it.” “And I've had it with me constantly for some eighteen months. You know they keep all lost property a certain leneth of time, then sell it off for a shillings and six song. 1 gave three pence for this,” he laug rhed. “you know,” confided Mildred, and Tom was beginning to feel quite out of the picture and a bit gloomy, “my brother would give a lot to get that back. His girl, who is now his wife, eave it to him for an engagement present and she has always sort of felt that it was very careless of me to lose it.” Tom felt that the conversation had gone quite far enough now and he didn’t in the least like the new and interested expression that had flung itself into Mildred’s eyes nor the very admiring glances the strange man was giving Mildred. “well,” he put in a trifle roughly, “what are you going to do about it?” “Give it back to its rightful owner,” said the young man rather curtly. Mildred, too, was a bit snappy. She felt annoyed that Tom could be so petty about nothing at all, and she decided she was not going to be snapped at by anyone. Her eyes were belligerent. “In fact,” continued the strange young man calmly, “if you will be so kind as to give me your brother's name and address I will take great pleasure in taking the umbrella to him myself. I'm sure we could enjoy a chat about London, too.” Mildred choked back a desire to laugh. Tom's brow was like a thun- dercloud. “No need to take all that trouble about returning an umbrella,” he said with an effort to seem genial, “Miss Caldwell can certainly give it to him.” “Tom! Don’t be absurd,” flashed Mildred with a laugh, “Don’t you see that this gentleman could easily think us a couple of crooks. How does he know I have a brother—if he doesn’t meet him. I think he is perfectly right in wanting to put it in the right hands.” And in order to hide the expression of her eyes, Mildred bent over her vanity bag and extracted therefrom a card on which she wrote the address of her brother. She hand- ed this to the young man. «rhanks,” he said, “and—is there any particular time, Miss Caldwell— any special time- ~when I would be most likely to find your brother?” Mildred bit her lip hard. She sim- ply dared not show her dimples and her appreciation of the subtle man- ner in which the young man was ask- ing just when she was likely to be visiting her brother. «Brother is always in on Wednes- day evening,” she said. And Jim Weldon got off the bus, nor did he look back, for there were notes.

MCINTYRE Over the wild and hilly districts of Western Pennsylvania and traveling almost due west from Pittsburgh goes the new telephone cable which is being placed by the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately $200,000. Glinting in the sun on mountain tops in some places and through gloomy woods and rocky gorges in others, the new cable which will form an ultimate link in the system of telephone communi- catiory between Pittsburgh and Steu- benville, Ohio, is being constructed under great natural handicaps. Mod- ern construction machines and equip- ment are being used to rapidly over- come obstacles which would have tried the patience of the pyramid-building Egyptians. Carnegie and Burgettstown, both in Pennsylvania, are the terminals of the new link of cable. While the distance from one terminal to the other is but twenty miles, the natural disadvan- tages of this rocky and hilly region to all types of pole line construction have contributed to making the in- stallation of the cable a remarkable engineering feat. There is also need for protecting the telephone wires from the effects of the high-tension electric wires and the burning culm banks found in this region. About six thousand miles of copper wire will be installed. It will be used for replacing all telephone lines now in place between the terminal towns and will also provide additional lines for new telephones and more toll lines in the section. ~ Nothing but a heavy cable would be adequate to satisfac- torily handle the great volume of tele- About 6000 Miles of New Wire at a Cost of the Mountainous Region W phone calls that every day pass over JAMES PROMOTED { publicity in the ca delman, last year, when the ri tenant governd 1 Republican nomination was a MRS, MARY EDWARDS, Mrs. Mary Edward died at her home in 1 \ stroke of paralysis was the cause of her born in South Wales ! ed away some years al number of children were held on Monday clock in the Lutheran and interment was in Lillydell meter | 5 | LEGAL NOTICE.

The intervening country between Pittsburgh and Steubenville has been growing rapidly of recent years and the weather marks on the horizon in- dicate that this growth will be con- tinuous in the future. Additional wires in the new cable will take care of this growth for a long period. While the greater demands for tele- phone service are a large factor in the placing of the new cable, the present construction will also enable the Tele- phone Company to replace the open wire lines and the older cables now in use. In the section between Car- negie and McDonald the present cable, which has been in use for several years, will be taken down and re- placed. While the older cable is still able to adequately serve its purpose the time is not far off where a contin- uation of the old lines might cause a let-down in the high standard of Bell telephone service and a consequent in- convenience to telephone subscribers. The open telephone lines between McDonald and Burgettstown also have about reached their capacity. It is felt by telephone officials that cable is preferable in this section and the old lines are accordingly being re- moved and replaced by the new con- struction. Cable will protect the tele- phone lines from the effects of the many high-tension electric wires in the area and is a more substantial insurance against injury to the tele- phone plant from storm causes. H. L. Miller, the construction fore- man who is in charge of the work for the Telephone Company, estimates that about 4000 miles of toll wire ‘Makes Hens Lay!

This is sufficient to build a complete single line from Pittsburgh to San Francisco and back again, with enough left over to run another com- plete circuit across the state to Phila- delphia. While the amount of copper alone in this work is enough to make this one of the premier construction jobs of the year, the difficulties en- countered daily are sufficient to raise it to the rank of an outstanding en- gineering accomplishment. In general the new cable will fol- low the route of the P. C. C. and S. L. Railroad. In places where right-of- way privileges are secured in appro- priate places a little off the main road and where the lines can be better pro- tected by avoiding burning culm banks or high-tension wires, detours are being made. New poles are being transported and delivered by teams while the cable reels are being transported by motor tractors. These motor tractors are very powerful and are able to carry heavy loads across broken ground that might be impassable by any other means. All deliveries of material are being handled just so far in advance of the work:to maintain steady prog- ress and to insure its being carefully cared for. About sixty-five per cent of the work is already finished. While the job was not started until toward the end of last April it is planned to have it completed by January of 1928.
