CHURCH NOTICES.
It Means to the Man What Conserva­
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
tion Does to the Nation.
The movement to encourage the peo­
ple of this country to curb extrava-
fence and to save money is rapidly
growing, and it is a good thing that
it is so. We need such a campaign,
and its gospel of thrift should be
spread broadcast throughout our land.
The American people must save. They
can no longer afford to waste.
It was the tremendous natural wealth
of this country that made Americans
a nation of spendthrifts. Now the end
of nature’s bounty is actually in sight.
All of the better public lands have been
taken up. The government is carefully
estimating our resources of coal and
oil. Water power is being developed
and husbanded. Wealth is not half so
easy to create as once It was, and for
that reason there is a nation wide ap­
preciation of the necessity for conserv­
ing it Thrift means to the individual
life exactly what conservation does to
the nation.
This movement for saving money
means a good deal more than the curb­
ing of individual extravagance.
It
means more capital available for the
uses of commerce. It means that when
you have saved $1,000 you will find it
a good deal easier to borrow another
$1,000 if you have a good investment in
view.

Big Chains Are Handmade.
In this day of machine manufacture
it will perhaps surprise some to learn
that the making of big chains is large­
ly, if not entirely, confined to methods
dependent on band labor, says the Sci­
entific American. There are probably
no big chains being made In the Unit­
ed States by the use of machinery.
There are various appliances employ­
ed, but these are band operated or per­
sonally controlled. This situation ap­
pears to be due to two things. First as
the proverbial expression has it. "a
chain is no stronger than the weakest
of its links.’’ A handmade chain is
naturally made link by link. If the
workmen are not only careful, but con­
scientious as to details, there is a
considerable opportunity for attention
equivalent to continuous inspection.
The making of big chains is largely an
old time blacksmith's job.
Wasted Power.
Professor Charles Baskerville, head
of the department of chemistry in the
College of the City of New York, stated
in a recent interview regarding the
work of modern chemists :
’Tn any chemical problem there is
no telling where the chemist will stop.
Just now there are many chemists
working on the problem of free gas.
An immeasurable lot of power is wast­
ed in the dumps of our coal mines. If
this waste were reduced to gas by the
retort process enough ammonia might
be produced as a byproduct to pay for
the whole cost of the operation, making
the gas free. The gas could then be used
to generate electric power. Really, one
big railroad ought to be running on
the power it is now throwing away in
theea supposedly worthless dumps.”
Employment Managers.
The function of securing the right
kind of help and seeing to It that that
help makes continued progress toward
maximum efficiency la second to no
other in any factory, and for this rea­
son the manager of the employment
department must have absolute author­
ity over those functions or at least
must have first baud access to the ear
of the supreme administrative author-
Ity — R. C. Clothier tn Industrial Man
agement.
Coolness Under Difficulties.
The grammar school principal went
from room to room explaining what to
do tn case of Ore. The pupils listened
with respectful attention until he came
to his Anal instructions, then smiles
and giggles disturbed the principal's
serenity.

clothing catches fire remain cool.”
