LABOR EXCHANGES IN ENGLAND.
On February I tbo oystcta of labor
exchanges Instituted In Englnnd by
act of Parllnmont had rocolvod a two
"yearn' trial, and tbo results linvo an
interest In this country, whero olmllnr
plans for bringing unemployed labor
In touch with employers have been
agitated. Thero nro now 2Ct ex
changes ns compared with tbo 82 with
which the experiment was begun.
During 1910 notification of 458,943 va
cancies was given by employers, ol
which 373,313 wero filled by tbo ex-
-ehMtgtM-nfvl-tlMrtn) 1&11 Miaka flriirc I
roso 'to 7DT,10D and 583,770, respec
tively. In 1911 casual employment
was provided through tho exchanges
lor 112,492 men and 12,812 women.
Last year C1.901 vacancies woro filled
fcy tho transfer of applicants to dis
tricts other than those In which they
wero registered. To facllltato thin ;
movement of labor from ono pnrt ol
tho country to another, an obstacle ,
to which In tho caso of women work
ers Is tho lack of sultablo lodgings,
tho suggestion Is, mado of establish
ing womon's hotels In connection with
tho exchanges. During 1911 tho de
mand for operatives exceeded tho sup
ply In tho cotton, woolen and worsted
trades, and In tho caso of women In
tho clotljing trades and In tbo laundry
work. Ono favorablo outcomo of tho
experiment Is tho growing confidence
ohown by both employers and work
men' in tho system and tho prospect
of friendly co-operation In extending
its scope.
. Ono of tho curious provisions of tho
woman suffrago law of California calls
for tho registration of tho height of

or all, It has to bo decided whore tho
foot of a woman begins and whero
her head leaves off. Shall French

proparod to speak with authority on
that matter, says tho Toledo Blado.
But supposing that next year, that
fashion of tho latter part of tho
eighteenth .century, when women, had
tnlr hn'r mado up'wlth flour and th
whole baked, should bo tho rogo.
What -would tho registrar say when n

Ing al man of experience, would he

A (clean, honfcat, kind criticism is
wholesome, but an underhand thrust,
lntondod to bo smart, Is dangerous,
i There Is go 'much of this flippant crltl

tkat keeps tbo right from succeeding.
There are Instances every day whore

flippant criticisms is, thoy novcr leave
a truth bphlnd; It Is always n Notch.
The thing to do Is to loavo oft tho flip
pant and mako a criticism slncero,
thoughtful, frank and kind. If a criti
cism is not thus attended, It is fnlso
and flippant, unworthy of a truo man

Value of Electrifying Tobacco.
An interesting experiment has been
mado by a German scientist In connec
tion with tho discovery of the valuo of
electrifying tobacco as a means of
insuring Its flavor and keeping quali
ties. Tho flavor of tobacco is said to
bo largely duo to tho peculiar fungus
or "bacterial flora" with which each
variety Is associated, and electricity
kills the fungus, but preserves tho
flavor. This Gorman scientist has
taken tho peculiar mold, or fungus, of
tho best Havana tobacco and trans
ferred It to tho moro coarsely flavored
Bavarian tobacco, and It is claimed
that good Judges could not distinguish
the Havana from the Bavnrian.

Block Improvement Circle.
Baltimore Is tostlng an Idea that
promises much for tho civic develop
ment of that city. Block Improve
ment Clrclo No, 1 was organized last
summer and already a considerable
number of similar circles havo been
started and moro aro being forced.. ,
Tho working plan of theso organiza
tlnnu la iilmnln Tho rosidenta of n.
block unlto to produce moro whole-
' somo conditions In tho coro or tho
city equnro in which thoy live. Un
sightly fences aro cleared away and
replaced with wire to protect vines
and hedges. Objectionable bnckbold
lngs nro demolished. A carofully
planned beauty park is arranged in
Bldo ench block. Grapevines, wis
taria, clomatls and climbing roses nro
trained to grow ou tho front and back
walls or tho houses. Ono factor that
partially compollcd tho dovelopmont
of this plan was tho depreciation in
real cstato values duo to rapid transit
and tho rush toward suburban homes.

Filipinos Dislike Autos.
Tho reckless and insolent automc
bllist is hated tho world over. In tho
Philippines, whero most of tho auto
moblllsts are foreigners, and where
the natives havo been used to loiter
comfortably in tho roads after tho
fashion of easy going southern coun
tries, tho automobiles havo long been
n grievance, and, falling to secure ef
fective regulation, the Filipinos havo
adoptod tho practlco of rolling big
boulders Into tho roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
speod. i
