Outing Flannels—Are not playing a very prominent part in the current season, the majority of buyers seem- ingly lacking interest in them entire- ly. It is evident that the fancy flan- nel is destined to be the tail-end of the hot weather wear business.

Carpets—The demand for carpets manufacturers number of instances continues active, and have ina been obliged to refuse orders, owing to their lines being closed out for the season. In the East manufacturers have been rushing their machinery day and night in order that their production for this season may be as large as possible in view of the active demand, but their increased production does not suffice to meet the shutdown of all carpet mills outside and mills, without much hope of a permanent settlement being ar- ranged for, seriously curtails for the time being a large source of supply. requirements as the Philadelphia of the which tapestry 3russels continues The mills affected, it is claimed, were able to make deliveries of goods up but further that the to the July contracts, than that it is understood business in hand, to a large extent, has been canceled. Some jobbers claim that it will be of little use for the mills late to expect to do business at this date, even if they begin work again within the next few days. All of the initial orders have been placed and a good deal of duplicate too, so that all that remains belated business, for the mills to do business on are the usual orders placed at the last minute by the department stores and the large retailers and cut-order people.

I am going to tell you a story that told to me last week. It goes to prove what I say about the intol- erance of labor unions. The inci- dent happened during the coal strike, but as I was out of the coal country at that time and only went back there last week, the story only reach- ed my ears a few days ago. was In many things my sympathies were with the coal miners in the strike; in some things I sympathized with the operators. little while, of $8.75 a sympathizing Incidentally, after a when I began to get bills ton for coal, I stopped with either side and started in to sympathize with myself. I was not in sympathy with the miners in the beieutie they institut- ed, for some of them were unjust and cruel. The boycott is a great weap- on, but it needs intelligence behind it. And intelligence is something a labor union seldom possesses. In one of the coal there was a small to have the place some new harm will All of his were mi people and the de- pendent on them for his business. region towns ee h £ erocer-——ne i¢cars named for fear come upon him. customers ling he was, refore, all of his members of the out strike commenced. 10ng cus union tor and all Practically mers were I went when the on war There was fellow them who had mar- ried only a year before. He had a young baby who had never thrived. His wife, had regained her strength after of her child, and, the needed to be fed on wines and jel- lies and things like that. This fellow went out on strike, too. He loved his wife could not stand one an gotten or so too, never birth said, the doctor he 3o but pressure, and baby, the when the mandate came he obeyed it; laid down his tools and walked out, a man without an income, but with a sick wife and child needing costly dainties. He used up what little ready money he had and then sat down to think. The strike was appar rently settling itself for a long He siege. had no money and the little that he might expect from the union would not pay rent. His wife was ailing and nervous and his baby failing steadily The conclusion of the matter was that the miner went back to work. Seems an easy conclusion to reach, does it not? But you can bet it is not. I would not wish for my worst enemy any much bitterer fate than to have to turn his back on all the labor affiliations into which his very heart has gone, probably, and which, as he sees it, stand for the only chance a laborer has of gaining ground against the steady onset of greedy capital. To see every man’s hand—the hand of former friends and intimates—raised against you and your wife and children, see hostile scowls replace the smile of friendship—I tell you, boys, it is not easy, and it is only when a man puts to | wite and baby in the balance that the scale goes down. That is exactly what it meant with this Pennsylvania miner. The min- ute he went back to work he became a scab—a subject for execration. He was hooted at, sneered at, despised But the health and maybe the life of his family was at stake and he lifted the burden manfully. As everybody knows, one of the most effective weapons that the min- ers used during the strike -was the boycott. They boycotted everybody, man, woman and child, who worked against them. Especially did they boycott the scab miners. They boy- cotted them in the very worst way— them wherever they could getting the necessities of life. The baby miner who had gone back to work grew worse. The father went for the doctor one night told that he could not attend his ch prevented from of the frankly iild. “But, great God, doctor, my baby’s said the father. don’t re to l and do nothing, do got his living He had attend no scab and was . 1? ying “You stil The ¢ 1 ye the agonized going d mean you you?” physician out miners. been served to miner “deeply sorry, to said, can’t be expected ” sorry,” he ruin my whole career. nt iit the ding the sort rht thoug back to to be fa as it lay. Next he tried store. The druggist was doctor and he we almost r that se coat e migh able to fix him up some- thing for the child. He was a friend “Sorry, old man,” said the drug- oust, “Ive got notice, I can't) sell you anything.” ried every drug store in town later every sult, and physician. Not one would come near him, through fear of a boycott. Then he went, half frantic, back to his own physician—pleaded with him, actually went down on his knees to him, to see his baby ~~ once. He would not do it, but he did go so far as to ask about its symptoms The trouble was that it could not hold any food down and, besides that, had marasmus, I believe. The poor thing was a_ rapidly fading shadow. “I'll tell you,’ said the doctor, “from what you tell me I believe condensed milk is what that baby If it can keep condensed milk on its stomach you can save its life. needs. You go to a grocery store right iway and some condensed milk, and and if you appreciate what I’ve done, tell nobody that I even saw you, I’d be ruined as sure as you live!” for The miner ran out of the house, straight to the store of the grocer who usually sold him goods. The or , him coming in and shook his head Gaui rocer saw “Wait a minute,’ said the miner. “Let me tell you about it! M’ ba- by’s a-dyin’! Just because I went back to work so’s I could buy stuff to feed it and the wife with, just so’s to keep ’em both alive, those miserable hounds have put a boycott on me! I can’t get a doctor in the place to look at the baby, an’ him a-gettin’ worse every can’t get a drug store to sell me any- thing! After I’d prayed to a doctor on me knees, he did tell me condens- ed milk might doa little. For the love of God, sell me a can, John! If you don’t, by God, and the baby dies, be its murderer!

MICHIGAN TRADESMAN 27 waste food down the dumb-waiter like other people. “The waste of fruit in New York is incredible. Every banana steamer brings hundreds or thousands. of bunches of fully ripe bananas, beau- tiful, yellow fruit, just ready to eat. The trade will not haudle fruit in this condition; it wants green fruit. All these ripe away. bunches are thrown “Only a short time ago over a million bananas brought in by the British steamship Chickahominy were wasted for this reason. Last year I remember an Italian steamer coming in with a cargo of lemons. The market was glutted at the time, and there was no price for them. It was cheaper to buy lemons here than to import them. The whole of the cargo was given to our Department to throw away. “This sort of thing seems an aw- ful waste, but I can assure you it is not at all uncommon. On a smaller scale, it is always happening at our markets. A fruit dealer has a few boxes of oranges or tomatoes. The market is just closing; he can not get his price, and rather than sell them for 5 cents less he hands them over to us to throw away. That happens every day. It makes a man’s heart bleed to see such immense quantities food thrown away, while many people, even in prosperous New York, have not enough to eat.” But, in spite of this indictment, the student of economics must go to the tropics to see the greatest waste of good of food. Most tropical countries produce enogh to feed a_ hundred times their population. Take Jamai- ca, for instance. She exports large quantities of bananas, oranges and pineapples to the United States, but billions of those fruits are left to rot on the ground. A walk through miles of planta- tions shows’ thousands of trees weighed down by luscious fruits which have not ben picked, because the market price at the moment did not pay for the cost of export. Those fruits are all left to rot. The world’s mango crop is. the greatest The mango one of the finest fruits in the world, and probably the most nourishing. It grows in bewildering profusion in most parts of the tropics. The ne- groes eat nothing else in the mango They sit under a mango tree and themselves all day long, until the wonder is that they do not burst. An average tree bears over 5,000 mangoes, each as big as a large orange, and there are hun- dreds of thousands of mango trees in Jamiaca alone. The natives, with all their appetite, can not eat I per cent. of the crop, which may be con- servatively estimated at 1I0,000,000,000 a year. Unfortunately, the fruit can not be exported. It will not stand a sea voyage unless it is treated with greater care than is_ possible to give. Thus it is that many tropical countries are covered at certain sea- sons of the year by rotting mangoes. An American traveling in the West Indies once rode along a mountain waste of all. season. gorge path which was literally carpeted for miles by fallen mangoes. In some places they were a foot deep, and the horse’s hoofs squashed them at every step. There is a great waste at sea, where it is generally supposed that food is regarded at its proper value. On the big passenger liners the stew- ards throw overboard every day al- most as much food as the cabin pas- sengers eat—sometimes more, if the passenger list is not very full. This food is seldom, if ever, given to the crew or the steerage passengers. A New Yorker once traveled on a West Indian steamship belonging to a service which is called by sail- ors the “Hungry Goose Line,” cause of the scanty supply of food in the forecastle. Every day half- eaten joints of meat, puddings, stale bread and piles of cooked vegeta- bles were thrown overboard. While the New Yorker stood watching this feeding of the fishes one morning, a sailor came up and said: be- “Look at that ’ere waste, sir; and’ yet they starve us poor chaps for- Tard. On another voyage the same man Saw nearly 2,000,000 bananas and oranges thrown overboard because they were ripening too fast. All day long the sailors hove the golden bunches of fruit to the waves. A yellow streak of wasted food stretch- ed as far as the eye could reach in the wake of the vessel. There is enormous waste of food in the great cattle and sheep-rearing countries, especially in New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela. Hundreds of thousands of sheep and cattle are slain merely for their hides, horns and hoofs, the exportation of the meat being un- profitable. A man who had worked on a sheep run in New South Wales declared that he once saw the car- casses of over 6,000 sheep on one farm. They had been slain for their wool alone, and none of their meat was used. The problem of tribution proper food dis- seems insuperably difficult, even in this progressive day and gen- eration.

MICHIGAN TRADESMAN 31 to her tale of woe” with a “I guess we'll see about this,” with a determin- ed air he put on his hat and went to the grocery. His tone was aggres- sive and his manner that of a man who has come to straighten things out. me understand, Mr. Platt, that you have been charging my child with dishonesty and I’ve come to see what you mean by it.” “I don’t know what you under- stand and I don’t care. That girl of yours came in here with a plug- ged nickel that you or her mother gave her for some candy and I told her not for a plugged nickel. If that’s charging her with dishonesty then it is and you'll have to make the most of it.” “Well, sir, I’m not accustomed—” “There’s just the difference be- tween us, I am. For weeks now, as often as you come home, she’s come in here for candy and paid for it with plugged nickels. Now I’m going to show you something.” He went to the drawer and took out a handful of nickels. “See here. Every one of these has been brought by that child at a certain date. It’s been going on for I don’t know how long. I began to keep account the last of April. Now, then, Mr. Alphonso DeLancy Griggs, I haven’t charged anybody with dishonesty. I simply refused another plugged nickel, be- cause I have now all I want; but you know and your wife know, the child knows—more’s the pity—and I know that there is dishonesty here and that you Griggses are the guilty parties. At first when we challenged the plug- ged money your wife claimed that she got the money here in change. She knew better and we know bet- Fer. “Here’s a nickel that has a his- tory. The child brought it June t1gth. June 17th Kit Gray was in here and I marked this nickel and told him to give it to you. He met you on he-train on the morning of the 17th and we got it the 19th. You may call that what you please. The mild- est term I can give it is dishonesty. Now if you’ve found out what I mean—that’s what you came for— you'll pay without any more parley his candy bill of 65c. You can re- fuse to pay it if you want to, but you'd better not.” “All right, receipt it Platt did and the bill was paid without a kick; and the Griggs girl didn’t eat any more candy and the as ” storekeeper didn’t have any more plugged nickels! Richard Malcolm Strong. i a Let Us Have Less Noise. Every new invention means a new noise. This is a “law of progress” which we commend to the attention of the professors who are to get out fall books on sociology. The type- writer, the electric fan, the elevated road, the megaphone, the steam cal- liope, all add new noises to an al- ready sufficiently noisy civilization. But there is one exception to the law of increasing noisiness. There is one invention which instead of giving our ears more work gives them less. That is the rubber heel. The rubber heel not only brings no new noises into the world, but it removes an old one. It is twice blessed. Its inventor should be granted a medal, or a monument, or a niche, or an apotheosis, or something. Our motto should now be: “Rub- ber heel our civilization.” The iiu- man footfall is not the only thing that needs rubbering. Almost every- thing else needs it as well. The pro- fessors of acoustics, although we have urged them several times to address themselves to the task of protecting and preserving the ear- drums of civilized man, remain su- pine and indifferent. We shall per- haps have to depend on inventors outside the universities. No one will care, however, where the inventors come from, provided they come. Our civilization must get rubber-heeled somehow. We have done something to conquer cold. We have done something to conquer heat. We have done some- thing to conquer space and_ time. Noise remains more defiant than ever. Surely, it will not be the one exception to the general rule of hu- man triumph over natural enemies.— Chicago Tribune. 4. ___ Want of a Chance. Maud and Margery worried the life out of their mother by running away. At least once a week she would alarm the neighbors, and a hunt would be started to find the runaways. Usually they had_ not gone far, but their mother was very much frightened every time she missed the little midgets. She de- termined to break them of this trick. Calling them to her room one day, she said: “Now, I have never whip- ped my little daughters, but if they run away again both of them are going to receive a smart whipping. Now, remember that the next time you are tempted to leave the yard.” The two little sisters looked very grave and promised never to run away again. But a few days after they forgot all about their mother’s injunction and raced out of the yard and far down the street. Their mother found them talking to a big colored man and grimly brought them home. Then she took them in- to the house, gave them the switch- ing promised and sat them down hard in two little chairs in the nurs- ery. Maud’s screams were terrific, and as her mother heard them from the library down stairs she said to herself: “Well, I guess the punish- ment has made an impresion on those children and they won’t run away again.” Just then there was a momentary lull in Maud’s yelling, and her mother heard Margery sob out: “Now, Maud, you just stop crying a minute, I want to have ’em hear me cry.” ———__s-+>__ Germany is the great potato-using country of the world.

An electric coin detector is the lat- est for the purpose of doing away with counterfeit minters. The appa- f is said to be able to separate good from bad coins on the princi- ple that different metals show differ- when the same strength of current is’ passed ent electromotive force throus zh them. The principle of the operation consists in the use of a number of primary coils in relation to which secondary coils are placed. ttached in circuit to the secondary coils is a relay which operates a mag- net. When the test coins he passes them near the operator wishes to magnet, and at the same time turns on the current in the primary coils. The variation in the secondary coils sets up a current in the relay which, in turn, acts on the magnet. fhe operation is then mechanical. Good coins will be dropped in one place, while the bad ones will be thrown out Somewhat similar to the above is detecting the presence of metals in the earth. Ter- minals of a Wheatstone bridge are inserted in different places in the i recent invention for 1, and the current passed through the circuit. A resistance box shows the amount of resistance which the current has to overcome in passing through the earth between the two terminals. If there is any ore pres- ent between these two poles, the re- sistance will be much less than if no mineral was present, and, natur- ally, the more metal in the earth at this locality the less resistance would be recorded in the box. It is a sim- ple matter, says the inventor, for the prospector to determine whether ore is present in a locality in sufficient iy him for the labor al } il quantities to p of mining it. The prospector of the future must be something of an elec- trician, if he hopes for rich rewards After the location of ore has been detected, the inventor claims that, by varying the distances between the terminals and comparing the read- ings of the rheostat, the exact depth may be ascertained. _— 2 -.s A playful dog will come to you, yet if you chase 1 grasp; and so with pleasure—it a ways elu i ness of seeking it. i ip liom The best a man ever did shouldn’t be his standard for the rest of his The right to labor is fundamental | life. ee enemas — 39 We call special attention to our complete line of Saddlery Hardware Quality and prices are right and your orders will be filled the day they arrive.

Merchants handle Mica because their customers want the best axle grease they can get for their money. Mica is the best because it is made especially to reduce friction, and friction is the greatest destroyer of axles and axle boxes. Ii is becoming a common saying that “Only one-half as much Mica is required for satisfactory lubrication as of any other axle grease,” so that Mica is not only the best axle grease on the market but the most eco- nomical as well, Ask your dealer tc show you Mica in the new white and blue tin packages.
