The census of manufactures, 1919, Ilfke that of 1914, excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighbor- hood indusfifes, and took account only of establishments conducted under the factory system. In this census also, as in that for 1914, statistics were not in- cluded for establishments having pro- ducts for the census year valued at less tha n$500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during began operation during that vear, and whose products 4or such reason were 2 mortlon of the census vear, of which valued at less than $500. The word “establishment” as used.in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are own- ed or controiled and operated by a sin- gle individual, partnership, corporation, or other owner or onerator. and are lo- cated in the same town or city. The reports were taken for the calen- dar vear ending December 31, 1919, or the business year of the establishment mest nearly conforming to that calendar year, Percentages of Increase. The summary shows a consistent In- crease at the census of 1919, as com- pared with that for 1914, In the order of their Imnortanee from a percentage standwoint, the Increases for the several items rank as follows: Value added by manufacture, 175.6 per cent: wages, 158 per cent.: value of products. 155.7 per eent; sealaries. 145.4 per cent: cost of materfals, 138.1 per cent; canital, 116.fyper cent: number of -|salaried emnloves, 67.3 per cent; pri- mary hersepnwer, 41.8 per cent; number of wage earners, 29.6 per cent; proprie- Number of establishments Persons engaged in manufactures .

The ecapital invested, 2s reported in 1919 shows a gain of $723,706,000, or 116.7 per cent., over that in 1914. The average capital per establishment was approximately $276,000 in 1919 and $151.000 in 1914. In this connection it should be stated that the inquiry con- tained in the censms schedule calls for the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, invested in the business, but excludes the value of rented prop- erty, plant, or equipment which was em- ployed in the conduct of manufacturing The body of Oliver Chenade, the first man from Somers to give his life in the late World war, has arrived at Hobo- ken, N.

The cost of materials used in 1919 shows an increase over that for 13914 of $398,331,000 or 138.1 per cent. The ave- rage cost of materials per establishment in 1979 was approximately $141,000, and In 1914 $70,000. In addition to the com- ponent materfals which enter into the value of products, the cost of materials in this summary includes the cost of fuel, mill supplies, and rent of power and heat, Value of Products. The value of products in 1919 shows an increase over that in ‘1914 of $849 521,000, or 155.7 per cent. The average per establishment in 1919 was mately $286,000 and in 1914 $133,000, Value Added by Manufacture. The value added by manufacture rep- resents the difference between the cot of materials used and the value of the products manufactured from them.

All Waists REDUCED 25% TO MAKE ROOM FOR FALL GOODS Hagberg’s Saving Worn Machinery by Nickel The high cost iron and steel ha, “stimulated engineers to develop effi- cient means of restoring parts which have become so worn that they are fit only for the scrap heap. A typi- cal example is an engine crank shaft, which after a certain degree of wear gets out of line to such an extent that it is useless. Welding has been largely d in the work of restoration fresh iron or steel being welded on the worn parts, and the whole then made true in a lathe. There are ob- jections to this process in certain cases and in order to overcome these ob- Jections a British engineer has devel- oped a method of depositing nickel on the worn parts. The piece of machin- ery to be treated is first made free from grease and dipped bodily - intg a bath of molten wax. After the wax has cooled it is removed from the parts which have to be restored and is left on the other as a protective covering Cleaning in a bath of acid is [ ed by emmersion in an electro-pluting bath which deposits nickel on the ex- posed su-faces. The coating of nickel adheres with remarkable tenacity to the metal on which it has heen de- posited. Crank shafts, spindles, axles, pistons and similar objects can be made quite serviceaile again by the nickel layer at a cost bclow that of replac- ing the whole part Deposits up to one eighth of 2n inch ran be applied suc- cessfully. Strange Hoarders Though it striker a strange note to hear of people living and dying in the midst of poveriy-striken surroundings while they are possession of quite decent fortunes, yet we hear now and then of this happening. A case occurred in Dublin where an old woman died alone. When the po- lice searched the house they found hid- dn away in egg cups, teapots and other utinsels, geld amounting to a thousand pounds. Some years ago an old woman was kn~~ked don and killed instantly by @ dray in the west of Ireland. When tne police n spected her wretchd dwelling-they found it packed almost to the door with branches of trees and chunks of wood for the winters fuel. Further search revealed a hoard of money. An old-age pensioner died alone in a kent village, yet when the authorities searched her poor dwelling they dis- covered three bags of gold. A remarkable case comes from Gen- eva, which is something of a contrast to these sordid onmes. An old widow had lived in abject poverty for 50 years, and then, on her seventy-sixth birthday, she presented a large clock worth §4,000 to the commune.
