2 Automation Began Centuries Ago : There's nothing new! Wonder : « of the twentieth century, auto- a mation, first appeared in Britain nearly. 200 years ago, when a man named Arkwright brought auto- mation into the cotton industry and proved it would work for the good of everyone, ; - Arkwright, who started life as a barber, was run out of Preston by the guilds for cutting his _price. For thirty years he lived on the edge of starvation, cutting hair, making wigs and doing odd jobs. His wife died of malnutri- tion and his children never wore boots. His second wife had a bank balance, but they squandered it between them. And by the time he was middle-aged he had only one suit and that was so shabby that he never went out until it was dark, ; He developed an idea for a spinning jenny -- a machine that would spin carded cotton -- and took it to a Preston philanthrop- ist named Smalley. Smalley thought it was worth develop- ing and paid Arkwright a week- ly wage while he worked on the model.. . In 1769 it was put on the mar- ket. Five years later Arkwright was wealthy but the most detest- ed man in Lancashire. Then he invented- a machine . that handled raw thread at one end and gave out woven thread at the other. This made him so famous and so powerful that he was able to persuade Parliament to remove the excessive tax on cotton. . The workers, however, could see nothing but poverty ahead of them. His machines cut down manpower by over one half. They threatened his life. So Arkwright - fearlessly met them and promised that, if only they would be pa- tient, "there would be work for all of them, far more than they could cope with. They didn't believe him. They threw stones at him, broke the windows of his home and even a tried to smash his machines. . Arkwright was right and the workers were wrong. . The tax . relief made cotton goods: cheaper, the new machines turned it out faster than ever before. Orders rolled in from all parts of the world_--- orders so huge that, without his machines, the indus- a try could not have coped with ' them. Factories doubled 'and trebled their staffs, and Lanca- shire rode on the crest of the wave, Ten years after inventing his spinning jenny Arkwright own- - MERRY MENAGERIE or $e Pat vedlgar J. - 1 EAS > 9 fod =. . we Badd by Bot fates bodom or *"Tick-tock -- tick-tock --" ed a string of mills in Chorley. Then a distastrous fire destroy- ed them all. A few years eariler such a catastrophe would have thrown hundreds of workers on the scrap heap for years, but the . other mills were able to absorb them, while Arkwright still had sufficient money to build more mills at Nottingham and bring prosperity. tg that city tog. Before he died he was employ- ing 5,000 people who, for the first time in their lives, knew the com- fort of regular employment. Painting Under Difficulties By flying for hours in a heli- "copter artist Claude Muncaster drew a series of views which won great praise from the crit- ics whes they were on exhibi- tion at the galleries of the Roy- al Water-Colour = Society in London recently, His "helicopter-eye" views are a novel approach to land- scape painting which it is be- lieved other artists will copy. Such a method of "getting the picture" was undreamt of by earlier painters, but they, too, sometimes achieved great mas- terpieces by unusual means. When the artist Turner wish- ed to paint a snowstorm at sea, he lashed himself to a mainmast and, - despite the numbing cold, spent four hours executing rough sketches which resulted in an authentic and graphic pic- ture, Another artist; Caledon Cam- eron, made drawings for his picture, "Niagara in Winter," * suspended by a rope over the boiling waters beneath the falls. To paint pictures which were later acclaimed when displayed in London, Zahr -Pritchard went to Tahiti, hired a barge and a diver's costume and descended thirty feet to a coral reef. He found a convenient ledge of coral on which to stand his easel and then gave a signal to | the men on the diving barge to lower his canvas, palette and brushes. The canvas had- pre- viously been coated with lin- seed oil to which the thick oil paints adhered. 'As Pritchard sat in his under- water "studio," strange fish of- ten swam close to the crude transparent covering over his face, encircling his neck to in- vestigate the strange creature that had come among them. Nearly all his pictures include gaudy-hued, queer-shaped fish which he saw at close quarters 4 ~ during his series of strange un- dersea visits. Scores of sketches were made by artist: A. D. McCormick while: he was roped to guides and perched on narrow ledges with sheer drops of many thousands of yards at his feet in the Himalayas. The Russian artist, Borisoff, used to disap- pear for months among 'the desolate wastes of the Arctic solitudes, "I have painted when the {thermometer registered sixty degrees of frost," he said, "and when my paint brushes split with the cold and my oil col- ours became congealed." "My wife says that if I die she will remain a widow." "She must think there's not another man like you." "No. She's afraid there is." #9, i ; id a By FT pm Be © wad BM EL i 1g WATE 3 ® 8% iy 2 fs er ' bid * af a} @ ri Lie Y 3 ny 4s 2 PR PE End (0 4 i PE Hapa BETTER LATE THAN NEVER-Dr. William Frederick Durand, oldest living graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., dis- plays evidence of the, honor he has been awaiting for for 76 years--his diploma.

RRA Candles And Honey Go Together Usually a business goes from father or mother to son. In the case of John and Beatrice Ross, Proprietors of the Ross Candle House on Bearskin Neck, in Massachusetts, the parents are following a path blazed by their ~ son -- a path lined with bee- hives, and flowing not with milk and honey, but with bees- wax and honey. : When the Rosses' son, Robert, was about 12, he went from their home in Lawrence, Mass, to North Andover on frequent visits to an uncle 'and there be- came interested in bees. He had hives . in the orchard .at his uncle's home where: the bees had an abundance of fruit blos- soms from which to make their honey. Latér, he started hives at home in Lawrence and at the home of another uncle in Derry, N.H., where he spent some of: his summers, He extracted the honey and his mother sought ways to use the fragrant beeswax. She ex- perimented with candlemaking and, one at a time, made 32 for disply at the Topsfield (Mass.) Fair. She worked till 3 o'clock in the morning to finish the lot before entering them in the fair. Her reward was first prize, The trick in making hand- dipped candles is to get them smooth and perfectly shaped without "wrinkles" in Mrs. Ross explained. . At one time Robert had 300 hives in various places, includ- ing a summer camp where tho family spent vacations. Bees- wax accumulated and Mrs. Ross continued her candlemaking. She worked out a way of mak- ing two at a time, then three, and finally four. She exhibited at the Topsfield Fair gaain and again and began selling candles there and -gathering in blue ribbons like a honey crop each season. Then Mr. Ross devised for . her a "machine" at which she can make 16 candles in an hour. "See Beeswax Candles Being Made Here" reads a sign in the window of the Ross Candle Shop which Mr. and Mrs. Ross are now operating for the sec- ond summer. On Saturdays when the largest number of visitors stroll along Bearskin Neck, lingering over the dis- plays in the quaint little shops that hug either side of the lane, the Candle House will be crowded with eager watchers. Mrs. Ross works over an elec- trically heated double boiler which Mr. Ross rigged up for her. Above it on a metal rod which extends up from it, there are supporting metal crossbars. On each end of these there' is a strip of wood to which four candlewicks of equal length are tied, each with a small weight at the bottom. The crossbars turn on the center rod. As one set of strings comes up front the liquid wax, drips. and dries, the bars are turned go the next four can go down. By the time the rods revolve so the first set of strings get an- other turn, the wax on these has dried sufficiently for the next dippping.

Each candle is dipped and dripped 50 times before it is completed, The Rosses sell other candles as well as their own beeswax ones. Those of wax have the special virtue of standing with- out melting, through any kind "of summer heat, 'Mr, and Mrs. Ross also sell extracted wlidflower honey and honey spread, as well as comb honey, wtih various accessories for both honey and candles -- attractive honey pots, candle holders, snuffers, and so forth. Brass is a perfect holder for the natural beeswax candle, says Mrs. Ross, because of the beautiful blending of the na- tural colors. . ~~ Mr. Ross and his son set up a solar extractor at their home in Lawrence to take the honey from the comb and melt the wax. In the melting process any dirt in the wax drops to the bottom, leaving the clear wax above. The capping wax with which the bees cap each cell of their comb is especlally desir- able and makes a candle of a richer nd unusual shade. The wax is, of course, merelted as it is needed for the candlemaking. (By Jessie Ash Arndt in the Christian Science Monitor.) Tools Of The Trade ~ Crippled by en incurable dis- ease a clever crook devised a series . of brilliant crimes and fashioned the keys which made them possible. Sentenced to imprisonment re- cently he heard his fate im- passively and then bequeathed his collection of instruments to Scotland Yard's Black Museum. This museum contains a unique and weird collection of exhibits linked with violent crimes of the past. The folding ladder used by Charles Peace for his burglaries and the concertina case he hid it in; knives and daggers used in various crimes; false arms and legs used in disguises; the hat and gloves belonging to Crippen and the boy's clothes worn by Ethel Le Neve when she fled with him to Canada-- they are all there, - Among "tools of the trade" are assorted safebreakers' in- struments, jemmies and keys. Other implements include ham- mers and saws and the mallet which Rouse used on an un- known man whose remains were found in a burned-out car. But Scotland Yard is not the a 4 oo ¥ EXPORT CANADA'S FINEST CIGARETTE "traptions from which only police headquarters to have a crime museum. The Paris police also have an odd collection of curips.

Among all these grim weap- ons is a woman's stocking, a dainty thing but with one pe- culiarity: it has no toe. It was used by an-enterprising French womas shoplifter.

There's an easy way and a messy way of painting a chair. You've probably been caught by the messy way -- painting the outside of the legs and rungs first, then having to reach through to paint the in- side parts, The easy way is this: Turn the chair upside down on a table and paint the under- neath parts first, Put it back on its feet, then finish the legs. Next do the back. When you leave the top of the seat until the last, you can steady the chair while dabbing into diffi- cult corners.
