NEWS ITEMr -- U^SJL FACTORIES ORDERB) TO ADOPT AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL METHODS %tI«i Mating Pioneer Ait for American Women Samplers, examples of needle art, are part of our country's history. In the past young and old women alike made at least one sampler, and often more, during their lifetimes. Making these was a requirement in schools as well as at home. That object over which the girls had toiled and groaned in early days assumed more value later and samplers were carefully taken along to new homes on marrying or moving to new localities. Actually, Sampler making is not indigenous to America, for it first appeared in England, but while references to samplers were made in literature as early as 1502, the first known was made in 1610 by Ann Gower who later moved to this country. There are, so far as I know, writes Rae Lewis in the Washington Post, scarcely more than half a dozen samplers of the Seventeenth century left in this country. In the beginning, "sampler" was literally the name. There were no needlework books and every time a new stitch was learned from an old- Fage Seven RIN6W00D of Winnebago spent Sunday afternoon with the former's parents,*- Mr. Mrs. C. J. Jepson.

The use of adobe was introduced to America by the Spaniards in the Sixteenth century, according to a correspondent in the Rural New- Yorker. They taught the Indians of Peru, Mexico and Arizona how to make and use it in building. Most of the Spanish missions built in California, from 1770 to 1823, were built of adobe. Adobe is used quite extensively in the arid Southwest for all types of building. This is due to the fact that it is cheaper for building; because the cash outlay for materials is not large, and as the ordinary workman is skilled in this type of construction, the labor cost is low. Another great advantage is that adobe is a very poor conductor of heat; therefore an adobe house is much cooler in summer and warmer in winter, than an ordinary house. Adobe is also fire-resistant and durable. Old Spanish missions built of adobe, that has been covered with plaster for protection, have stood for centuries.

Sterling Morton, a Nebraska politician and secretary and acting governor of the territory in 1858. In January, 1872, at a meeting of the Nebraska state board of agriculture, he introduced a resolution setting aside April 10 for tree planting, and on that date more than 1,000,000 trees were planted throughout the state. In 1885 the Nebraska legislature passed an act changing the tree-planting date to April 22, Morton's birthday, and making it a legal holiday. Three years after the founding of Arbor day in Nebraska, Kentucky and Tennessee adopted the idea. Ohio and North Dakota followed in 1882. Arbor day is an event in the calendar of every one of the states, but there is no uniformity of that date. In some states it is a fixed one, while in others the day is set by proclamation oi the governor or by county school superintendents. , Where Men Wear Veils' In the Tuareg tribes of the Sahara desert men wear veils until only the eyes are exposed, but for no religious or stylish purpose. The custom is founded in necessity--to keep blowing sand from lungs, says a writer in the Washington Post. So firmly is the custom established, the men refuse to appear--sand or no sand--in any public spot without the lower folds of their turbans hiding their features. Even Paris was surprised wh£n a couple of visiting tribesmen appeared fully veiled. Of obscure origin, Tauregs are tall and well built. Their skin is reddishyellow, deeply browned by exposure. They call themselves Imoshagh, "the noble people." Arabs call them "People of the Veil." Placer Mining In placer mining from alluvial deits the gold-bearing gravel is shoveled down 9/sluice whose stair-like arrangement of uniform wooden blocks about an inch high catch particles of gold dust and allow the lighter sands to pass over The gravel is then taken from the sluice and washed in a prospector's pan. Large flakes are easily picked out, but the dust is amalgamated in mercury and later separated, usually, by straining the niixture th 1 - L * Come in for your FREE Thermometer .
