or.e hundred ccnti worth of work
may sound like frenzied finance.
But it is the actU2laccomplishment
Of American worker of tVie Near
Fast Relief in the Levant, where
living costs are constantly striving
for new altitude records.
Due to high prices of native pro
ducts and the difticultics of impoit
i'lg" good into interior stations,
ijlese Workers have found it cheap
er and an effective aid to child
training to manufacture their own
nipplies in the orphanages scattered
throughout the entire region from
H;ria to the Catra'-m, in which the
Americans a-e caring for approxi
mately one hundred and ten thous
and children.
Not only 1m this method been
found to furnish superior products
according to workers who have
been responsible for these activities,
but it prepares the children for oc
cupations that will eventually make
them self-supporting, such as print-

inp, carpentering, tailoring, dress
making and a dozen other trades.
The same plan is said by these
workers to have been followed with
considerable success in the admin
istering of general relief.' Because
it was found that the indiscrimin
ate distributions of money and food
tended to make permanent beggars
of those that received thisNform of
relief, industrial shops haVc opened
where employment is given 'to thoie
in need The products of these
hop5 are either sold or ustd in
curing fur the orphans and adult
refugees.
Though such methods cannot be
adopted in relieving such wide
spread suffering as now exists in
Armenia and elsewhere in the Cau
casus, where famine conditions and
accompanying disease arc reported
to be causing the death of thous
ands, they have been found to be
practicable in regions where the
suffering is not so acute or wide
spread and have resulted in the
saving of a large amount of money,
which it has been possible to apply
to nn extension of necessary relief
activities.

ON THE MAKING OF" MATCHES
Chlness Factories Now Are Producing
Thousands of Tons, to th Great

verse which told of fleas having other
fleas upon their backs to bite em, the
process continuing nd Infinitum. . Be

Interesting Intelligence that the Chi
nese Imve gone Into the innnufuctur
lug of matches, and nre so diligent nnd
skillful In the business, that the Jup
nneso trade Is becoming fearful of
.their progress, as competitors, tlie
Cincinnati Huq .Irer states.
Not so long ago the American mar
kets were Hooded with cheuper Imita
tions of the cheap Swedish mutches,
which compete with the sturdier' and
more dependable Hamc-iilaUers turned
out us profusely In America. It wus
not thought that there could be made
anything worse than the Scandinavian
product, but when the Japanese fraud
arrived, this view is as revised sharp
ly. If It Is possible that the Chinese
have been able to make the matches
at u lower cost than their Nipponese
rivals, then Indeed they have accom
plished the mlraculotm, and (he world
will applaud them for the feat. . Ap
patently success litis come to them,
four large factories at Tlen-tln be

which is mciiMitcd by the thousnmls of

of the entitle and independable Swed

through the sacrifice of efficiency In
striking fire and holding It, Nothing
could be worse.
NEW WAY TO FOIL ROBBERS

Juice In the Invention of the lu'test
security satchel, designed, as It Is, to
prevent their silent getuwny, says the
Scientific American. The satchel Is
ordinary enough In appearance, feiive
that it Is of steel. In the lid It car
ries a monster bell, operated by two
dry tells, which are capable of ringing
the alarm continuously for six hours.
The switch Is hidden In the grli
handle and has two buttons so ar
ranged that" when tho messenger dis
covers that ho Is belli,; held up he can
Instantly push one of them.
The alarm will go off and stay off,
and can be hctiul for u distance of
half ii mile. The second button' Is for
previous adjustment, nnd lends (o a
delayed action that holds the ringing
up for ten or twenty seconds enough
h enable the messenger to make Ids
getaway from the Immediate range of
tho holdup man befoie the hitter dis
covers what he Is up against.
We must agree with the Inventor
that no crook is likely to march
through the streets carrying n ringing
satchel, or to get vvy far with It If
he attempts It.
Certainly, until the stick-up aitlts
learn how to put the mufiler on the
boll Instantly and permanently, the
new trick ought to be effective. And
that Is all that could be nuked, for the
man who Is coping with u robber
must expect to change Ills plan of cam
palgiiAiis fast as the thlefMearns what
It Is.
Trackless Trolley Abroad,
From a German periodical, Klekl
troleehnlsehe and Miischlueiibau, we
learn that electrically-driven Tiuses
connect Vienna with tt subuib a short
distance away. These trackless trol
leys run on pneumutle tires and are
fed from a double trolley lino on which
rolls a small contact-making carriage,
connected with u flexible cable to the
car. The length of this cable can be
varied, as Its end Is wound arpund a
take-up drum. Approaching cars have
to stop when passing each other, ex
change their cables and proceed again.
The ears nre driven by two motors,
built Into the rear wheels. They are

Skctcn Illustrates New Features of
Fire Resistive Construction.
DANQDn from Are In frame houses
has been reduced fifty per cent,
through Improvements In con
Ltructlon worked out by the most com
petent engineers In the lumber Indus-
try. This announcement has Just been
made after theso engineers have been
working upon Improved designs in
frame construction during the past
year with a view to reducing the fire
hazard (or wood houses to a minimum.
Practically no change In appearance
In houses constructed by the Improved
methods and very little, If any, addi
tional cost Is Involved, but the meth
ods recommended by the engineers give
protective features making the frame
house essentially resistive to fire.
Interposing of panels and short
pieces within spaces that ordinarily
serve as flues for rapid spread of fire,
for Instance, reduces danger from this
cause. Other protective Improvements
prevent wooden parts catching fire
from chimneys, fireplaces, heating
plants and steam and hot water pipes.
While wood will burn and there la
no such thing as a "fireproof" house
within the reach of the ordinary
pocketbook, the new protective meas
ures devised by the lumber engineers
offer an economical type of- construc
tion that Is fire resistive and as nearly '
fireproof as frame construction as now
developed can bo mado, according to
their conclusions. The methods con
form strictly to the scientific codes of
the most progressive cities and carry
a minimum of fire rUk because of the
necessarily slow spread of combustion
In houses following the new type of
construction.
