• A VISIT TO AN ENGLISH JAM FACTORY
You, would hardly expect to find a
ltlaclfsmlthr s shop in a jam factory,
would you? Yet that is what I found
in one, and what is more, the smithy
was just shoeing a spledid, strong
horse -a Perchoron.
No doubt this sight is not to be
seen in every jam factory, but this
particular factory, 'which is not far
away from that town famous through-
out the world for its university, Cam-
bridge, ]Eng., is situated right amidst
trolleys run on a miniature' railway,
there being miles and miles of track
all over the factory. So the fruit
reaches the kitchens where it is made
into jam,
TFIROLIGN SILVER• -LINED emseS..
The bottles then have to be filled,
and sothejam is sent through silver -
lined tubes from the kitchen to a ma-
chine which has a horizontal revolving
circular platform on which the empty

bottles are placed. Only one operator

fective rand Its cost is small; but i
means that the bottles are useful for
other purposes- after the jam has been
used.
The 'bottles have, yet to be labeled,
packed, and then stored or dispatched.
The labeling is an easy matter -a
ntachiue, doing this job' very quickly
and efficiently.' The bottles are put
onto a moving platform, and as they
are carried along they are first smear-
ed with' gum and then each one picks
up a label winch automatically wraps
itself round the bottle.
MAKING}} BOXES:
Before the bottles can;be packed,
the boxes in which'to pack'thenm have
to be made, and so inside the jam fac-
tory is a boxtn'aking factory. Tree
trunks are brought in at one end and
complete boxes ge out the other. First
of all, a sawing .machine saws the
tree -trunk up into a nunnber of planks
of a certain thickness. These planks
are then put into a machine which
cuts them into pieces of a certain
length for the ends, The side pieces
are put in a machine which stainps
them with the 'firm's name, and nail`
ing machines finish the job.
The thing .that interested me most
about this box -making .department
was that all the' sawdust and waste
wood is collected in sack and taken
upstairs to a: machinery. room. It `is
there made -into'. a. gas, which in turn
becomes the fuel for developing the
power for driving all the machines in
that department.
The can -making shop is somewhat
similar. There sheets of tin are first
cut into the sines required for the cans,
Each piece is put pito a machine which
shapes it into- cylindrical form and
also solders it together. The joint is
then tested to see that it is airtight.
In the same way the bottoms are cut
out. and soldered on. Finally, when
the cans have been filled with fruit, the.
tops are placed on, soldered and tested,
and then the cans are labeled in the
same way as the bottles.
t jauts is dispaached every night, and-
nd a
fleet of motorleraies is also packed;an
sent,aff' each day to all parts of En
land,
' Down in the engine room are si
huge'`urnaces. Four of them are a
burners, which are much pleasante
for the men :to work.than the co
burners. There are machines of a

As there is; an engineering staff

These 'machines ".have to be kept in
order, so theme is a' big` repair shop
and there they inake new machines,

You will remember that the jam is
sent .through: silver -lined tubes and
this means thattheremust be a silver
plating shop for re -plating these tube
and all parts of the machines, oven
and so on through which the jam
passes.
CONTE] TED. WORKERS...
You will not be surprised to hear
that it requires a great. ninny people
to work in all' these different depart-
ments—and there are other depart-
ments in'addition ea those described
-so an important part of the business
of the firm is the welfare of its em-
ployes. Clothes' are provided for their
use in the factory'and a laundry is
maintained so that. they may always
have them clean. There is a very large
canteen for the midday meals. Play-
ing fields are provided, and' a fine old
country house has been converted into
a club fax them. -Instruction classes
are held in various subjects which any
of the -employees are at liberty to at-
tend. And so going round the factory
it is natural that one should notice
the happy, healthy, and contented• ap
pearnnce of those who work there.
—A. E. S. T.
Possessions.
Wherever men has tried to possess
others he has lost possession of him-
self. That is the' price inevitably paid
by any class orsectionof the com-
munity which seeks to dominate the
lives andrestrlct the liberty of its fel-
lows.
And as with individuals so with na-
tions; there is no greatness' of posses
stow Igehoiding• that which involves•'
the. depreelon;of others, the dlmimt-
tion of,iireil�e 'their happiness,
their pilose 1 -lie elopment. That
is not tine kingtleite It is the manu-
facture of slu'vee. But if we lay up
treasure . in the development of
our sense" of beauty, our` faculty for
Joy, we have sonpetimes here on earth
which neither moth nor rust can cor-
rupt, nor thieves steal. Our posses-
sions then aro things that can arouse
no baso covetousness, we need not
hold them under lock and key, or make
laws for their protection, for none can,
deprive _us of them. And while you
so hold them on such free and noble
conditions,. you do not fail to dispense
something of their 'bety and worth
to those with whom you associate.
These. possessions, with which you
have enriched your Lives, make no
man poorer, rob no fellow creature of
his right, conflict not with the law
of charit o ll
yt a
Seeking possession upon those lines,
you shall findh
that noble. things s do
g
tend to make possible a form of pos-
session in which all alike may sharp;

and .painting do offer themselves to

A thousand may look upon the beauty
of one picture, and detract nothing,

The Superlative :Starling,
The starling es a bird is an inter-
esting study; he•has'a very prettily
marked coat, with all sorts;of gleams
and gl'ooms and iridescences in it, He
suits his colors to the day. On a grey,
dull morning; the starling: is habited
in decent pepper and salt,like a res-
pectable farmer; on a day of sunlight
he has the changeful sheen of the
dove, the radiancetof the rainbow, .the
broken lights of spilt petrol! Then' hie
hill is so sharp and long, and.. used so
vigorously, that it is a pleasure to see
him at "work.-' He never takes any-
thing quietly or. tranquilly, He is al
ays in supeelatives. He is .forever
in a tremend'eus hurry , and fuse,
frightfully hungry, desperately busy.
He goes about as if be were catching a
train. `'lie cats as if, it Were his first
meal for weeks, and his last chance
of food for a month , .
Some years ago I spent a winter in
Scotland.:.. The starlings had
taken a fancy to roost,in a little island
on a lake, which was overgrown with
thickets of rhododendrons.., As
the sun set, one used to see troops ar-
riving from every direction, until at
last there was a dense mass of birds
all on the- wing, flying round and
round over the island. From a mile
away one could see the mess like a
great shifting, shadowy balloon,, how
densely packed, now bursting out at
the top or the side like a waving flag.
At last, when the muster was com-
plete, at some given signal, they sank
silently on to the island. A minute or
two were spent -in finding their perch-
es, and then arose a wild din, a sort
of evening `hymn, every starling
shrieking its loudest. After .a few.
minutes again, as though by a signal,
the noise suddenly stopped, not gradu-
ally, but dike steam shut sharply off.
The starlings in their flight are a very
satisfactory kind of community. They
are healthy, sensible, greedy and
strong. None of them ever seem out
of sorts or out of spirits. . , They
do not seen to be conscious of the
pressure of social problems.. They are
on a splendid, level of common sense
and activity. It is true that they are
a thoroughly bourgeois type. One can-
not imagine a starling singing under
the moon, -in a fine' rapture, like the
nightingale.... They are eminently
courageous and , humorous; but
they no doubt consider the lark a fool
for spending
his time e and strength in
singing and soaring, and as for the
nightingale, they would no doubt de-
spise a bird which wasted time that
might be devoted to refreshing sleep,
in ec to ie
s c s about the moon and the
garden -scents. — A. C. Benson, in
"Along the Road."

The Superlative :Starling,
The starling es a bird is an inter-
esting study; he•has'a very prettily
marked coat, with all sorts;of gleams
and gl'ooms and iridescences in it, He
suits his colors to the day. On a grey,
dull morning; the starling: is habited
in decent pepper and salt,like a res-
pectable farmer; on a day of sunlight
he has the changeful sheen of the
dove, the radiancetof the rainbow, .the
broken lights of spilt petrol! Then' hie
hill is so sharp and long, and.. used so
vigorously, that it is a pleasure to see
him at "work.-' He never takes any-
thing quietly or. tranquilly, He is al
ays in supeelatives. He is .forever
in a tremend'eus hurry , and fuse,
frightfully hungry, desperately busy.
He goes about as if be were catching a
train. `'lie cats as if, it Were his first
meal for weeks, and his last chance
of food for a month , .
Some years ago I spent a winter in
Scotland.:.. The starlings had
taken a fancy to roost,in a little island
on a lake, which was overgrown with
thickets of rhododendrons.., As
the sun set, one used to see troops ar-
riving from every direction, until at
last there was a dense mass of birds
all on the- wing, flying round and
round over the island. From a mile
away one could see the mess like a
great shifting, shadowy balloon,, how
densely packed, now bursting out at
the top or the side like a waving flag.
At last, when the muster was com-
plete, at some given signal, they sank
silently on to the island. A minute or
two were spent -in finding their perch-
es, and then arose a wild din, a sort
of evening `hymn, every starling
shrieking its loudest. After .a few.
minutes again, as though by a signal,
the noise suddenly stopped, not gradu-
ally, but dike steam shut sharply off.
The starlings in their flight are a very
satisfactory kind of community. They
are healthy, sensible, greedy and
strong. None of them ever seem out
of sorts or out of spirits. . , They
do not seen to be conscious of the
pressure of social problems.. They are
on a splendid, level of common sense
and activity. It is true that they are
a thoroughly bourgeois type. One can-
not imagine a starling singing under
the moon, -in a fine' rapture, like the
nightingale.... They are eminently
courageous and , humorous; but
they no doubt consider the lark a fool
for spending
his time e and strength in
singing and soaring, and as for the
nightingale, they would no doubt de-
spise a bird which wasted time that
might be devoted to refreshing sleep,
in ec to ie
s c s about the moon and the
garden -scents. — A. C. Benson, in
"Along the Road."
