GAVE IMPETUS TO INDUSTRY
Effvet of Application of PHncIploo ot
Sowing Machine to Manufacture of
Boots and Shoo*.
On April 29, 1862, • patent wai
Issued to Gordon McKay for a setr-
ing machine for shoes. After the
breaking out of the Civil war, Mr.
McKay began to make army shoes.
He set up five machines in R&yham;
secured a factory at Farmingham;
took government orders and manu-
factured on his own account.
The practical utility of his ma-
chine was demonstrated by his suc-
cess, and in June, 1862, these ma-
chines were first ordered for sale.
Mr. McKay adopted the plan of leas-
ing rather than selling his machines,
and in 1862 made contracts with 62
firms for their use. In 1876, 1,500
were in operation throughout the
country. These machines are now
used in foreign countries and Can-
ada.
Over 100,000,000 shoes are made
annually in the United States by
these machines. The application oi
the principles of the common sewing
machine to the manufacture of boot*
and shoes was an important addition
to industrial science and entitles Mr.
McKay to a prominent position
among inventors.—Chicago Journal
WHAT AN OFFICER SAYS.
IT —
i There is a glamor and It pathos
about the private soldier, especially
when, as often happens, he is really
only a boy. When you meet him in
the trenches, wet, covered with mud,
with tired eyes, speaking of long
watches and hours, of risky work, h«
never fails to greet you with a smile,
and you love him for it, and you feel
that nothing yon can do can make
up to him for it. For you have slept
in a much more comfortable place
than he has. Yon have had unlim-
ited tobacco and cigarettes. You have
had a servant to cook for you. You
have fared sumptuously compared
with him. You don't feel kis su-
perior. Yon don’t want to be
“gracious without undue familiar-
ity.” Exactly what you want to do
is a bit doubtful—-the major said he
wanted to black his boots tor him,
and that is the bsrt way of express-
ing it.—Donald Hankey, “A Student
in Arms.” - -.•*

CURTAIL JUTE PRODUCTION.
Owing to the rather critical condi-
tions prevailing in the jute indus-
tries in Scotland the Dundee jute
spinners and manufacturers an
largely in favor of resorting to a
stoppage of a certain proportion oi
machinery in their works. The gov-
ernment has made known its desire
for a reduction of 10 per cent on the
1916 consumption of raw jute, and
at a recent meeting of the spinner*
and manufacturers it was unani-
mously agreed that the reduction
should he effected by a curtailment
of machinery rather than by running
on short time.
BOASTFUL.
Patience—My brother is id thi
cavalry.
Patrice—Oh, is he? How man]
horses does he have to drive?
“Why, one, of course.”
‘Well, my brother ia in the artil<
lery. He drives a four-in-hand."
A GLIMMER OF RESPECT.
“Has Bfiggins any respect for the
truth r
: “A little. But about as far as I
ever knew him to go in expressing it
was to celebrate Washington’s birth-
day."
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
“Do you know what Kamerad
jneans, Mr. Huggins?” asked the
sweet young thing’s little brother.
“Oh, yes. It means surrender.”
“Righto! Well, you might as well
say it. Sister’s decided to get yon!”

THEIR FAILURE.
“I see where they have caught a
gang of thieves who have been loot-
ing apartments."
“Evidently, they wen not sharp
enough for Bat burglary."
URGED TO FOREGO SAMPLES
Sacrifice Asked of Women Would
Moan a Great Deal to the Coun-
try Just New.
Every woman loves them—those
nice little bundles of fabrics the
stores have pampered us with for
years. It’s such fun to look them
over, and feel them and hold them
up to the light and wet them and
twash them. The sample fever ia
isdmething awful once yon catch it—
comes in flashes, like malaria—sends
jyou scooting into a store just to get
;a few, or rushing out to the mail bon
Jail hours of the night with a letter
[requesting others.
; This is no time to a$k for samples
jof wool goods—or cotton or silk,
[either. The National Retail Dry
‘Goods association furnishes figures
which show there is an average oi
jl per cent given away in samples
jThat surely is altogether too big a
[waste for war times—and an abso-
lutely needless waste, too.
Suppose we just forget that thers
.ever were such things as samples for
a while. It’s a mighty little thing
lone way—the way that affects the
[individual; a whopping big matter
in its effect upon the cloth-making
inductries of the whole country.—

lantes.
