MEW SKINNEE FACTORY SANITARY Here Scientific Cleanliness Is press a Excellent Brand of Article la Prod need for Won. Serial Sales In West. "How do they get the holes ln macaroni?" Haven't you often wondered about this very question haven't you often asked, "How do they set the holes in macaroni?" Tea, you undoubtedly have, and unless you have visited a macaroni factory you are probably still in doubt as to just how the holes are put Into macaroni. Omaha now has a modern macaroni fac tory within its confines, so it ia possible' for people of this city and state to learn a (rrat deal about the manufacture "of macaroni and its kindred products. Inter estlns methods are employed in biincins this food Into the form ln which It is placed before the public and the least of the Interesting- points is not that of putting the holes Into the food. Pnttlnc In the Role. ' J net to satisfy the curiosity of those who have read this far, it might be well to tell at this point how the boles are pro duced. After the dough has been well mixed and kneaded In a powerful machine. It is ready to form late macaroni, which la of a tube shape about one-fourth Inch ln diameter, or spaghetti, which Is 'a solid tick shape of Uui one-eignth inch in diameter. This is done by forcing the dough, under hydraulic pressure, through a cylinder with a flat circular bronie die or mold at the bottom. The macaroni die la full of holes about one-fourth Inch ln diameter and each hole has a small pin In the center of It which is attached to one side of the hole. This pin forms the hole in the macaroni and divides the dough on one side as It starts through the hole, but before the dough reaches the end of the hoi the divided side comes together and remains so, making a perfeaj tube. The spaghetti die contains only plain holes about one-eighth Inch in diameter arranged In group. When macaroni and spaghetti come from the presses or cylinders, they are cut Into certain lengths, the length depending upon whether the curing or drying Is to be don on trays or by hanging over rods. Skinner Company Mndrrn. The Skinner Manufacturing company has a modern factory on Howard street that la conducted along scientific lines. The food Is produced here under strictly clean and sanitary conditions and has been fives the highest recommendation by the stat food inspector. The air In the drying rooms Is absolutely pur and clean, kept so by frequent changing. In other words, the cleanest and purest processes are em ployed In the manufacture of the macaroni products at this factory. Much attention is paid to the flour used by the Skinner company, and only the best Is accepted. That made from the finest wheat Is used here. It is important for the producing of a perfect quality of grain that macaroni wheats should be har vested at just the right time. The heads must be entirely ripe. There are many other requirements for perfect macaroni wheat, and all of these are insisted upon by the 6klnner company, which Is now putting out the best grade macaroni man ufactured. In the west Determine on Qnalltr. The manufacture of macaroni does not really present any very serious problems if the right kind of flour is used. Freshly milled durum wheat Semolina Is of first Importance. Then a chemical analysis of the aemalina is neoessary to determine the percentages of gluten and starch and whether they are present In the proper pro portions to produce a product well bal anced ln proteids and carbohydrates. . In curing or drying macaroni the length of time varies, according to the process employed and to how much the process la affected by atmospherio conditions outside the factory and the standard of quality maintained. Some maker require only three days, while other take as many as six days. Macaroni, mad of fresh durum wheat semolina and pur water, will posseea a golden color, the sam a the semolina, and n translucent. The Imitation of this su perior kind of macaroni, made from ordi nary flour, and containing coloring mat ter, will resemble it ln appearance, but when held up to the light will not be translucent, but notloeably opalescent. Other cheap goods that are not colored show their Inferiority very plainly. Ho Coloring; Use. WOMAN HEADS MONEY MAKING Miss Margaret Kelly Tells of Work as Mint Director. HER RISE IS STEP BY STEP She la Now In Highly Responsible Position and Uncle Sam's Hia-nest Salaried Servant Among; the Fair Ones. Within one of the 'handsomest apartments of a great many-pillared mansion in the city of Washington there may be seen sit ting at ( o'clock every evening, a young woman. She is dressed in a suit of spot less white and every detail of her toilet marks the wearer as one possessed of a delicate feminine judgment, ln matters of taste. She is seated before a rosewood table, and, when the visitor, after sending in his card. Is ushered by a well trained waiting man, Into her presence, she gra ciously greets him and Invites him to be seated. From the hour, the environment and the charming feminine personality on might well fancy that the next move will be an Invitation to a cup of "five-o'clock tea." But no Sherlock Holmes could make a guess farther from the facts. This pleading young woman la no tea-pouring hostess, welcoming gilded beaux to bar hospitality. She la today the director of the United State mint and the apartment Into which she welcome her visitors 1 her private office in the Treasury building. She Is still 'her at t o'clock, after all her subordinates In the manufacture of macaroni at th.T'ava left, because she always remains and BKinner factory no coloring matter oi adulterants ax used, and the process Is thoroughly clean. Every car is taken to make the goods sanitary and pure. The factory is a model ft cleanliness. Every possible sanitary precaution is rigidly en forced by sclentifio supervision. The ef forts of this firm to put up a sanitary package of the best grade macaroni Is being rewarded by the largest kind of ale sales that have resulted in the fac tory being unable to supply the demand. Th company Is now leading many other makers and has an exeelient outlook for the future. The package made by this company sells for 10 cents. It la larger, much larger than the (-cent package, and contains a better grade of product, because it Is made from better wheat It Is Interesting to note that all products bearing the names of spaghetti, messanl, vermicelli, elbows. ,tc, belong to th gen eral classification of macaroni. Los Monotanons. Th caller had laid his trouble before the lawyer: What I want, as you readily under stand,'' he said, "la a divorce. I realise that there will be attorney fees, necessary ex penses and soma delay. What wUl be th total cost?" Th lawyer figured It all up and gave him his estimate. "Weil," said th caller, rising, "I think I shall go to Reno. Th cost will be juet about the same, and I'll get more ocanary, Oood day." Chicago Tribune. checks over the day's work of the bureau and she always stay until the check Is satisfactory. Mis Margaret Kelly, the young woman In question, occupies the enviable position of being th highest salaried woman of ficial ln the employ of the United States government. But this tact does not so much entitle her to distinction as this that. In her present position, she holds a place of responsibility that 1 second only to those of the cabinet officers, a place that la far above any other official position held by a woman that It may be ssld it is first and there, Is no second. Assistant Director. Recently Mis Kelly, who baa for year been employed ln the bureau of the mint ln th Treasury department, was promoted to be assistant director of the mint. Almost Immediately upon this appointment Director Roberts left for an absence ht two or three months during which time he will be thou sands of miles from his office and all its duties and responsibilities will be upon Mis Kelly. "Miss Kelly's appointment mark an epoch In the history of th advancement and development of woman In the business world," said Hon. Edward Taylor, member of th house of representatives from Colo rado, who was a member of th assembly of that stat whan, seventeen years ago, It voted to sir th women th right of suf frage. "I think even Colorado, as advanced as are its ideas ln the matter of the rights due to women, will open its eyes ln aston ishment when ' It learns that one of the most important offices In the national gov ernment has been conferred on a woman." Miss Kelly's appointment was due to merit. When, after leaving her native hills of New Hamphahire and obtaining th best education that' the private schools of Boston could give her, she determined to make her own way in the world and turned to the civil service, she had no Influence of any kind to aid her. Passing the examination for stenographer fifteen years ago, she was at once ap pointed to a place in the office of the appointment clerk of the Treasury depart ment at Washington. After a year's ser vice, she was transferred to work as a stenographer ln the Buerau of the Mint in the same department. Since that time she has remained ln that bureau, advanc ing steadily until she has now reached the highest point ln it Starts as Stenographer, "In the fourteen years I have been ln the mint bureau," she said, "I have held the position of stenographer, private sec retary to the director, adjuster of accounts, examiner, assistant director, and now, that Director "Roberta Is absent, I am acting director of the mint surely a most ad mirable record for one who, fifteen years ago, entered the service as a stenographer without Influence to aid me." Her training has thoroughly qualified her for the duties she has assumed. "When I was private secretary to the director, I had to know well, I had to know every thing about the bureau, from auditing accounts to how to coin gold Ingots into eagles," she said in discussing her school ing for her position. "Then when I was ex aminer, my duties took me traveling all over the country to the various mints; sometin ea 1 would go out to the Pacific coast; oftentimes I have gone to the Phila delphia mlat half a doxen times a mouth." A cursory glance at the details of the bureau will make on more appreciative of th burden that Is on this young woman's shoulders. There are three coin age mints, with their complicated .busi ness mechanism and nine minor mints, where bullion is bought, but no money coined. There are employed ln the mint service more than 1,400 people, many of them experts, detailed ln a high class of sclentifio work, whose Individual salaries are 15,000 a year or more. Miss Kelly's salary, be It said. Is only 3,0u0 a year. There was purchased by th various mints of th country last year about I1J,XX:,000 worth of told and about 12i. Ouu.ouu coined. Many Little D tails. Of course there is a thorough system of bookkeeping and accounUng, th details of which Mia Kelly must keep at her fingers' sad, but thar U ln addition a "yearly settlement." a It la called, which she must closely superintend. ln this settlement everytUog pertaining to the mint, Including not only th great heap of cold sola and bullion stored away, but every small Instrument aad utensil used ln the mints, must be accurately ac counted for, lest Uncle Sam be the loser by small particles of gold dust, Invisible to the naked eye, adhering to this or that utensil of humble wood or Iron. It was a delicate question, and one that could not be asked Miss Kelly, how the multitude of men, many of them scientific experts of large salaries, liked having a woman as their superior official. But so popular is this remarkable young woman among th clerks of the bureau that It needed but slight Investigation to learn that ah was universally approved of as their supervisor. "We think this much of her," said one Huge Telamonlan AJax of a man, standing more than six feet and weighing close t 200 pounds. "It It were left to popular voto among us all whom we should select for the position she now holds, she would carry the election unanimously," "You see, 1 have come up so gradually from one position to the other," Miss Kelly said herself, when asked if her appoint ment did not create a sensation In the bureau, "that it has never seemeu o strike any one at any particular time that the positions were not generally held by women." "Are you a suffragette?" Th question was bluntly put. "There!" laughed Miss Kelly, "I knew that question was coming. I hardly see what difference it makes whether one is a suffragette her ln Washington, where not even the men have votes. I do think, how ever, that women ought to have the right to vote. I am not radical or hysterical on the subject though. Indeed, I've never had time to attend a suffragette meeting; nor do I know whether If I had such time, I should do so. No, I'm not given to hobbles or 'fads,' as vulgarly called, though that is not due to any particular merit on my part, but rather to my not having suffi cient leisure time to Indulge ln such luxuries. "There is one thing I most cordially de test." she continued, when her likes and dislikes were inquired into. "That la the distinction on constantly hears made be tween the work of th sexes. Tile expres sion 'a man's work' or 'a woman's work' is particularly obnoxious to me, as are also their complements, 'a man's wages' and 'a woman's wages.' Now 1 cannot see any necessary distinction between work as a man does it and as It is done by a woman. The only distinctions or classes I recognise In work are 'good work' and 'bad work.' Th phrases, as used, how ever, always Imply some slur on the woman, as though a woman's work, or rather, any work that a woman does, were, by necessity of th fact that she Is a woman, inferior to the same work as done by a man. There should be no distinction Ither between th wages of men and women for th asm kind of work. "I am glad to say," concluded Miss Kelly, "that la all th years I have been In this bureau and in all th positions I have filled, I have never heard any reference to such distinction." It la plats to on who talks even a tew minutes to Miss Kelly, that she is wrapped up completely ln her work ln the mint bureau; an engrossment that is in pleasing contrast to the majority of those In the employment of the government. New Tork Times. TRIALS OF A STENOGRAPHER Self-Confldence Essential to Success and Bluffing; Is a Oood Thin. The timid new stenographer gave a little shiver of mingled admiration and awe as the president's amanuensis came Into the room and put her notebook on the copy holder and her pencils in the drawer of her desk ln preparation for her morning'' work. The timid stenographer folded her hands and gazed at the older girl admiringly, re lates the Chicago Tribune. "If he should ever ring when you're not htre," she said, with a little quivering laugh, "I'm going to put on my hat and run home." "Then you'll be a goose," responded the other. "You'd better be glad of the oppor tunity to try and see if you can do it. Do you want to keep on doing the same little easy things ail of your life?" "Of course not," said the other girl, "but I do want to be sure I can do things before I try them." "Then you'll never try," said the presi dent's stenographer, , decidedly. "How can you ever learn anything if you never try to do anything different?" "But I'm so afraid of doing things wrong, and I get so discouraged when I make mis takes," pleaded the younger girl. "Then don't let people know It," said the president's stenographer. "An over-bold girl Is an abomination, but you simply must have, or must act as If you had, a reason able amount of self-confidence." "But I'm such a miserably poor bluffer," sighed the timid stenographer. "I don't advocate bluffing too much," said the other girl, "but where there Is rfal capability behind it . (and there Is In your case), a little bluffing Is a mighty good thing. When I was In the shorthand school," she continued, after a moment, "the teacher came to me one Iday and asked me if I wanted to go out and try a certain position that she had to till. I told her that I didn't think I could do It and I wouldn't dare to try.
