Uncle Sam Sets Example in Safety-First Crusade Uncle Sam, through the medium of a safety-first special train, is showing the people of the country how the various departments of the govern ment are guarding their lives and property. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is responsible for the unique exhibit. The train, which is composed of twelve steel cars, carries exhibits ol apparatus used by the various fed eral bureaus, and each of the bureaus has representatives on the train to give motion-picture lectures depicting the part they are p1"- ing in the safety first movement. The bureau of mines, department of the interior, shows the modern life saving apparatus which it has been responsibla for introducing in the mines of the country. This bureau has as one of its duties the safeguarding of the lives of more than a million men who work under the ground. The statistics gathered by the bureau show tnat since it was created in 1910 there has been a steady decrease in the death rate among the men, the saving of life each year amounting to between 500 and 1,000 over previous years. The bureau is also charged with the development of mere efficient methods of mining and the more effi cient use of minerals. Some time ago it developed a new process for the manufacture of radium from carnotite ore, which reduces the cost of making radium to such a point that it is j thought hospitals can afford to pur chase a supply for medical uses. An exhibit of the wonderful radium is shown on the train. The reclamation service, depart ment of the interior, which has charge of the reclamation of 40,000,000 acres of land in the great American desert, shows hy colored transparencies what it is doing toward making homes for millions of people. An interesting feature outside of safety first is the exhibit of the na tional parks service of the interior de partment. In one of the cars is a pic ture gallery, large transparencies in rich color showing the range and magnificence of the incomparable scenery of the national parks. Tho forest service and the weather bureau of the department of agricul ture, the coast guard service and the public health service of the depart ment of the treasury, the war and the navy departments, the American Red Cro^s society and the interstate com merce commission are all represented by interesting displays. im CF SHIPS E UP MODERN NAVY ming on the high seas, protected by leavy armament, including some guns 16.000 tons displacement, having a y of heavy guns, 8-inch or above; from 4-inch to 7-inch, inclusive, and ms less than 4-inch. of 18,000 tons displacement or more knots.

S. j Federal Tests of Electric Lamps Gov ern Manufacturers and Other Purchasers. Uncle Sam buys 1,250,000 electric lamps every year and to be sure that he gets his money's worth he has them all tested and inspected by the bureau of standards, department of commerce. The specifications under which these Hmps are tested are published by the bureau and are recognized as stand ard by the manufacturers as well as by the government. They are used also by many other purchasers of lamps. The lamps are first inspected for mechanical and physical defects, this being done at the factory by bureau inspectors. Representative samples are selected and sent to the bureau, where they are burned on life test at a specified efficiency, at which they must give a certain number of hours of life, depending upon the kind of lamp. About five thousand lamps are thus burned on test each year. For this test great care must be taken in the measurement of the lamps and in the adjustment and regu lation of the life-test voltage. GAIN IN DYESTUFF OUTPUT Census Figures Show Increase of 47.7 Per Cent in Manufacture in the United States. Preliminary figures of the 1914 cen sus of manufactures announced by the department of commerce show an in crease of $2,299,281 or 47.7 per cent in the manufacture of dyestuffs. The to tal increase over the 1909 figures of the dyestuff and extract industry was $4.552,446 or 27.1 per cent, with 133 establishments operating in 1914, nine more than when the 1909 census was taken. Slight changes are expected to be made in these figures by the final report. Among the general increase is re corded a 53.9 per cent jump in mor dants, assistants and sizes, $1,767,424 worth above the 1909 output; and a $719,750 or 10.1 per cent .^crease in tanning materials. The total value of the 1914 products was $21,341,122, in cluding dyestuffs valued at $7,i 18,528, tanning materials valued at $7,840,057, mordants, assistants and sizes valued at $5,044,225, and other products worth $1,338,312. Many Sand-Lime Brick Sold. Uncle Sam says sand-lime brick to the number of 179,643,000 and valued at $1,135,104 were sold in the Unked States in 1915. BAD TO HAVE A COLD HANG ON.
