4 THE STAR—TUE JAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1910, Published Co, Press Publishing United The Star Member of Daily by ~The Carnegie Mill Boy and the Hook I a youth working in the Carnegie mills at Youngs town, Ohio, who is doomed to carry two buckets of water to and fro all his life He’s a one-armed boy, too—and thereby hangs this story. This boy wasn’t always a one-armed boy, Not so very fong ago he was a two-armed boy, carrying water in the Car ny some Carnegie negie mills at Youngstown. He got machinery lacking adequate safety guards, and after that he too near was a one-armed boy So he went to the hospital, and while there received visits | one from Carnegie claim agents, who told him that they would | peitev« »ss of his arm by giving him a job for life | doubtedly confess it square him for th at $1.50 per day. and he accepted, signing away all claims against the company for a life job at $1.50 per day Presently the boy got well and went back to work, He was given his old job, carrying water. Also he was given an arti- ficial arm. But whes the boss under whom he worked learned that he avas getting $1.50 per day—full man’s wages for such work he went about it to re the obvious discrepancy between the boy’s work and his wages. So the boy's artificial arm was taken away from him, and another of more approved and utili tarian pattern was given him, ‘This arm has a hand thre aded at the wrist, so that it may be quickly unscrewed and taken off In its place there appears every morning after the whistle blows hat sounded like man’s wages to the boy, edy a neat little hook, admirably adapted for engaging the handle of | now. & water bucket. So now the one-armed boy is equipped for carrying two buckets of water instead of one, and the Carnegie steel company has neatly adjusted what might have been a loss so that it begins already to figure on the credit side of the ledger. The boy lost an arm and his chance of ever making any thing more than the minimum man’s wage The company gained the life service of a man at the mini-| tention of | plight of her mum wage Slick work. d The boss who conceived the hook scheme deserves a Car- negie medal ; ‘ We respectfully recommend him to the attention of the laird ef Skibo. Should such intelligence and zeal go unrewarded, when most any common hero who has dragg re luctant suicide from the welcome water can command Carnegie medals ad libitum? We trow not. Uncle Sam, People’s Banker During the next few weeks Uncle Sam will open 50 new banks fn 50 cities to receive the savings of his people. The youngster of ten may Open an account by buying a 10-cent postal savings card. When he has one dollar to his credit he will get a certificate of deposit The married woman may have an account of her own, the law providing that such an account “shall be free from any control or interference by her husband.” No one may deposit more than $100 in any calendar month, while the total balance is limited to $500. Exoept for these limita- tions, it is feared that the postal banks would have depleted the private savings banks “something awful.” Depositors will receive 2 per cent annual interest, and Uncle Sam expects to use the money for enough more to pay all ex penses of the enterprise. While this new project of Uncle Sam's was carefully guarded, so that it might not “interfere w th business” or do the too much good ali of a sudden, it i: » gratifying step forward If Uncle Sam can be a banker—why, he can be lots of other things. Perhaps he will be some day. OBSERVATIONS BACON 40 cents? ° EDNA PLAISLATT walked the train to the next station.
