I Monda' ON PINE MOUNTAIN Pathos of Conditions In Corner of Unknown Amerioa. Tt ' Kentucky Mountaineer*? Yearning to Obtain Advantage# for His Mother* less Brood of 8even Children Related by Woman of Set tlement 8chool. - The searching pathoa of conditions In a .small corner of what might bo termed Unknown America is mirrored In a communication received by the National Geographic Maga/.lue from Mis# lOthei De Long of the executive committee of tho^Plne Mountain Set tlement school, 1'lhe Mountain, llarian County, Kentucky. Striking indeed is thlH picture given by the correspond out in her simple yet supremely sym pathetic recital of the paternal yearn ing of a white Kentucky mountaineer to obtniu educational advantages for j his motherless brood of seven:' "A man has Just walked In from Illg Creek, thirty jnlles away, to try to en ter all of his seven children In our school. He would not cleave only the older ones, because as he said, 'If I part 'em while they're leetle fellers, they won't have uo feelin's fer each other when they're raised* I want ye to tako 'em all or none. Hit was their mammy's last wish that I keep 'em together. I'll Jest do fer 'em myself the best I ken, if you caln't take 'em all.* "He brought with him an irresistible appeal, a word ploture of the seven, and ^ls tale of how he had 'keered' for them. Thirty-four years old, worn, stooped, toothless, he has made a gal lant tight to raise his children right. He mentioned the children's clothes. .'I've made 'em all,' he said. *1 couldn't j hire nobody *to sew fer 'em, so I Jest made 'em everything they wear, my self. I've washed fer 'eiy, I've tended 'em, an' I've gone out in the cornfield ; to work fer 'em. I've raised 'em as i right as I know, but I caln't do fer 'em luk I ought. "'I get right sick with the phthisis, and I've studied about what would hap pen to 'em if I was to be tuk off from j 'em. When I have to go away from | 'em to earn a leetle money, hit's sech a dread on me, les' they git burned up j at night, s'posin' th6 house should ' ketch fire, an' leetle fellers alius so sleepy-headed at layln'-down time. Sometimes 1'ih afennl to go home.' "'Why didn't you marry again?' I asked, 'so as to get help in raising your children?' "Tears came into his eyes, 'Hit's tjest for leetle younguns to hev jest one! ! mammy,' an' s'posin' I'd thought to help 'em a-marryin' again, I might a got 'em in a mighty bad state.' " 'If we take the children, are you go !, ing to marry again?' said I. " 'No'iu, I'm done with inarryin'. I ' j Jest want my younguns raised right, ! J whilst I'm a tryin' to make the money j j for 'em.' I " 'Vou see, we don't want children ' whose parents want to get rid of them,' said I, 'but those whose parents want them to have a good chance.' "'Yes,' he said, 'I know. That's the reason I want 'em here. You want younguns whose parents has got dili gence and with innards to raise 'em toward humanity. Yes, I'll pay ye all I can make fer 'em, ef ye'll jes' raise 'em right. I've raised 'em to work. I've worked myself. I begun when I was seven, an' I couldn't git much ed- ; ueation. In my raisin'-up hit was one dtiy in school and the next day out; one week in school an' the next week out. I want 'em to git a chance to make their iivin's ? to live, an' not to ^f>e dowv*. ^gs> "'No, they don't sw'ar, ner cuss; an' | they hain't got no mean ways when i they're in my sight. I've brought ye a reecommendatlon from folks that met ye when ye come through Big Creek five or six years ago.' "We were moved with compassion, . although our annual pledges must be multiplied four-fold to care for the sixty children we alrendy have, be- 1 sides the seven 'leetle fellers,' from the 'chunk of a girl jes' goln' on five' to the fifteen-year-old boy who has hoed corn all summer. "How could we resist those faces and the patient father who had done the best he 'knowed?' We told him to bring them, all seven. An hour ago he started back on his long thirty miles to make the children ready." Wonderful Drilling Machlns. A remarkable example of concen trated labor saving is the new mul tiple-spindle drilling machine that at one operation drills the 40 holes re quired In ~nn "automobile transmission case. The holes vary In size from 3-10 to 27-10 Inch and some are on an angle, but ail^are drilled in two or three minutes, although the work for merly required five different machines and involved seven different opera- ; tions. A 25-horse power motor at the, rear drives the main shaft. This is connected to the horizontal heads by! steel gears and cloth pinions, and to, the vertical head by beveled gears and correct spindle speeds are obtained , through gear reductions in oil-tight j boxen on the head.
