Wonder Of the twentieth century, auto - aeration, first appeared in Britain raearly 200 years ago, when a mail reamed Arkwright brought,auto- »elation into the cotton industry end proved it would work for the good of everyone. Arkwright, who started life as al barber, was run out of Preston by the guilds for cutting his price. For thirty years he lived on the edge of starvation, cutting Teak, making wigs and doing odcl 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 has was middle-aged he had only sine suit and that was so shabby Qat he never went out until it was dark. He developed an idea for a *pinning 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 - bet. Five years later Arkwright was wealthy but the most detest- ed man in Lancashire. Then he invented a machine Qat handled raw thread at one and 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 .stat, if only they would be pa- tient, there would be work for till of them, far more than they could cope with. They didn't believe him. They threw stones at him, brolte the windows of his home and even 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 raster than ever before. Orders rolled in from all parts of the world -- orders so huge that, without his machines, the indus- try could not have coped with them. Factories doubled and Trebled their staffs, and Lanca- ehire rode on the crest of the wave. Ten years after inventing his . ,iainning jenny Arkwright own - d a string of mills in Chorley. Then a distastrous fire destroy- ed them all. A few years earner %such a catastrophe would have thrown hundreds of workers on the scrap heap for years, but the ether mills were able to absorb them, while Arkwright still had sufficient money to build more mills at Nottingham and bring prosperity to that city too. 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, "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." CAN'T TOTEM — These kids couldn't budge 'em, no matter Blow hard they tried. Totems which make up this Alaska -style totem pole were carved on the spot. It brings good luck to a novelty shop proprietor, who finds It lures camera -toting tourists. DOUBLE PLAY BALL - Bill Virdon of the Pirates is out at second as Junior Gilliam throws to first base to complete the double play in the first inning of the Brooklyn -Pirate game in Pittsburgh. Candies ,` ;n;rs Honey Go Together Usually a business goes from father or mother to sen. 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 homewhere the bees had an abundance of fruit blos- soms from which to make their honey. Later, he started hives at home in Lawrence and at the home of another uncle in Derry,. N.H., where he spent same 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 them, Mrs. Ross explained. At one time Robert had 300 hives in various places, includ- ing a summer camp where the family spent vacations. Bees- wax accumulated and Mrs. Ross continued her candlemaking, She worked out a way of mak- ing two at a time, them three, and finally four. She exhibited et the Topsfieid Fair gaain and again and began selling candles Ile re and gathering in blue eihhons like a honey crop each season. Then Mr. Ross devised for her a "machine" at which she a,an 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 flow operating for the sec- ond summer. On Saturdays when the largest number of visitors strollalong 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 from the liquid wax, drips, and dries, the bars are turned so 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.

IMOONJYS EMERALD OIL Is sold by druggiflta everywhere. A. real .discovery for thousands who. have found blessed relief. Thus the candles are made by the hand -dipping process with the aid of Mr. Ross' little device which multiplies the hourly production from one to 16. Each candle is dipped and dripped 50 times before it is completed. The Bosses 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 wildflower honey and honey spread, as well as comb honey, wtib 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 especially 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.) Theis t f The Trade Crippled by an incurable dis- ease a clever crook devised e series of brilliant crimes and fashioned the keys which made them possible. Sentenced to three years' 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 'safobreakers' 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 only police headquarters to have a crime museum. The Paris police also have an odd collection of curios. Here are queer -looking revolvers and knives and apparently harmless cane which contain a sword er stilletto designed to come free at a wrench, Other walking sticks are merely disguised guns or con- traptions from .which hidden blades shoot out at the touch of a secret button. Among all these grim weap- ons is a woman's stocking, a dainty thing but with one pc- euliarity: it has no toe. It was used by an enterprising French womas shoplifter. Having selected an article, she dropped its on the floor. then, her movements screened by a long skirt, she slipped her foot out of her shoe, picked up the article with her toes and transferred it to a large pocket in her skirt! 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 throligh 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 01 the seat until the last, you can steady the chair while dabbing into diffi- cult corners.
