"Now is the time to keep the Home Fires Burning"
It is hard to imgaine the world
without electric light, yet it is only
a few years since gas lamps illumi
nated out streets and gas or kerosene
was used in our homes.
"Going to bed with the chickens"
was an actual fact centuries ago, al
though the chickens we know had not
been bred to their present state.
When darkness came there was noth
ing else to do. It was dangerous to
be abroad. Human foes or wild ani
mals might lurk behind a near-by
tree. Ancients, with the coming of
darkness, hied to their caves for
safety and stayed there until dawn.
The earliest form of light was a
burning stick taken from a camp
fire. Later, coals in an open pan or
brazier were nursed into flame. Then
torches of resinous wood were used.
Sometimes slender branches were tied
together and saturated with fat or oil.
The lamps used by the Greeks and
Romans were made of stone, clay or
metal. They were covered, and a wick
of flax or tow produced the flame.
Many of these lamps have been found
in ancient ruins.
The development of the candle was
a great improvement in lighting, be
cause, when it was protected from
drafts, it burned with a steady, even
flame.
Near the end of the eighteenth cen
tury a flat, woven wick was invented
for lamps, and this gave greatly in
creased light. Afterwards the circu
lar wick was introduced. The great
est improvement in lamps was the
glass chimney. This controlled the
draft, so that flickering and its strain
on the eyes was no more. The dis
covery of petroleum, and from pe
troleum kerosene, simplified illumi
nation.
Gas lighting was tested and found
practical in seventeen ninety-two. It
was first used in the United States
at Baltimore, Maryland. It won its
way because it was cleaner and safer
than kerosene. Several scientists had
tried to develop an electric light be
fore Edison, in eighteen seventy-nine,

The Evolution of Light
gave the world this great method of
illumination. The Jablokoff arc light
was introduced to London at about
this time, and a few years later the
Pear street Edison station was ready
to supply electricity for lighting to
the people of New York.
Today we live in a
wonderfully
lighted world. Power lines carry
electricity to remote hamlets. The
day has been extended, and opportun
ities for study, recreation, and many
useful activities greatly multiplied.
Lapland boasts the farthest north
generating plant. It is at Porjus, on
the Lule river, and is the "farthest
north" power plant in the world.
Many miles north of the Arctic circle,
this hydro generating station has a
capacity of seventy-eight thousand
horsepower, and furnishes power,
light and heat to several widely scat
tered mining towns. It also serves a
modern electric railway that connects
the mines with ports in the Baltic
ea.—W. T. Bonney.
DOES YOURS?
Why sure, our union runs itself.
There's not much work to do
The by-laws they take care of that.
Why worry me and you?
The officers they sit around
Arranging plans and such,
And really, all that they do
Does not amount to much.
The entertainment job's a joke,
It makes a fellow grin
The talent that we hear each night,
Why they just happen in.
And all the secretary does
Is to see the dues are paid
And keep our members up to date,
A cinch, if ever one was made.
Why sure, our union runs itself,
'Tis the best that ever was.
You think so? But just try it once
And you will say, "The h—11 it
does!"

WHAT IS A FRIEND?
What is a friend? We will lei!
you. It is a person with whom y« u
dare to be yourself. Your soul u:
go naked with him. He seems to a i
of you to put on nothing, only to
what you are. He does not wfcnt
you to be better or worse. When jcu
are with him you feel as a prisoiu
feels who has been declared innoceni.
You do not have to be on your guani
You can say what you think, so lorn
as it is genuinely you.
He understands those contraai
tions in your nature that lead othi r
to misjudge you. With him you
breathe free. You can take off your
coat and loosen your collar. You can
abuse him, neglect him, tolearate
him. Best of all, you can keep still
with him. It does not matter. He
likes you. He is like fire that puri
fies all you do. He is like water, that
cleanses all you say. He is like wine,
that warms you to the bone. He un
derstands, he understands. You can
weep with him, laugh with him, sin
with him, pray with him. Through
and underneath it all he sees, knows
and loves you.
A friend, we repeat, is one with
whom you dare to be yourself.
PAY CUTS HIT
ALL ACTIVITIES
When the income of a man is re
duced, it follows that he must buy
less of the products of other men.
Plainer clothes are worn. Table
foods are more simple. Fewer books
are bought. The pocket change is
counted more carefully. Even the con
tribution plates in the churches get
less. Merchants and manufacturers,
religious activities and social wel
fare suffer with every wage reduc
tion.
To protect the wage volume of the
mntry is a fundamental need, for it
)ntrols the material prosperity
without which neither business, in
us trial, social nor education forces
can grow.—B. C. Clarke.
TED SMITH

gateship to Trades Council, represent

PUT THE UNION MEN
AND WOMENTO WORK
What we want to see just now is
more employment for union members.
We talk about "giving" employ
ment. When an employer takes on
hands when a householder provides
a man with a job, he ia said to "give"
employment
This is all to the good and the
more employment that can be given
the better.
But lots of union members think
they can't "give" employment, be
cause perhaps they are not in a posi
tion to hire anyone to work for them.
If they only realize it, however,
they can "give" employment and the
way they can do it is by "buying"
employment.
Every time a person purchases an
article or a service produced by union
labor they are "buying" employment
and doing their bit to keep their fel
low trade unionists from joining the
ranks of the unemployed.
They are not simply buying a hat,
or a pair of shoes, or a suit of clothes
or what you will, they are helping
to buy a job for some fellow trade
unionist as well.
Think of your buying power in this
way and you will realize what a serv
ice you can render, even with a small
purchase, when you make sure your
money is being spent on union label
goods or service.
You are really buying employment
