One glnm-e around the room and that is suitieient. Here is a hul sitting idly at his desk. His eyes are half open and his head is held up by both his hands. He is dreaming! Maybe he is thinkingy about something that shall soon hap- pen. take. fo' :111 example. :111 approaehing foot- ball game. This youth is probably wondering whether or not he will have 2111 opportunity to take part in the game when the team plays again. Anyway. he hopes the coach will let him play. nIf I do not play during: the entire game. he is musing: to l1i111self. Hmuyhe the vouch will let me 110 my stuff' in the final quarter. l'll he the hero of the day it' he lets me play. Herels what lill do: lill 111:1ke 1011;: end runs, dash through the line for many ym'tls. enteh fol'x'zu'tl passes. and finally run across the goal line for the winning touehtlown. Then after the game is over all the, fellows on the team will congratulate me. and put me on the hack. -:llling me the hero of the game. tAinit it a grand and glorious feel- ingi? ttListen. Johnnyf someone says to ttour hero. HHuh? thnt did you say? he tli'owsily asks. HThe coneh. replies the other speaker. i'the eoneh told me to tell you that you need not come out in :1 football suite. . hEDWARD ZIEGLEK. A Qirhia-ng Him nf a 71-31151; Svmwt FIRST OF ALL. in order to obtain this view we can take an aeroplane trip or climb to the tower of some very high lmiltling. Now. as we have no plane we ennnot use the first method. The other method. however. is the easier and the cheaper. so this is the one we shall use. We are now in the lohlty ot' the Milwaukee City Hall. In order to reach the top floor we can either walk or take the elevator. As the, walkingy part would prove Very tiresome. how- ever, we shall go by way of elevator. XVe step into the latter. 31ml up we go. In a short time we have l'Ptlt'hOd our destination. 31ml will no longer have to wonder how the world looks to :1 little bird soaring through the air. As we gaze downward from that dizzy height. it is a queer sight, indeed. to behold the lmsy street. It is lined on both sides by a chain of stores which seem to form the walls of some large eity. These walls are very far apart at the top. while toward the bottom the distance be tween them becomes very narrow like the jaws of some great chasm. At the very bottom of this chasm. the people hurrying: zlhout tsome with large bundles. oth- ers stopping at every window to see what is in itl look like large :111ts that are hard at, work gathering 1111 food for the winter months. or at lezlst senrehing for some to store :u'ay. Now our attention is attracted to the eenter of the seene. There on hoth sides of the street :1 eontimml string of dark objects is moving: to and fro. At tirst we may wonder what this can he. Fun it he :1 little ehiltlis toy train? Why no. that is just :1 line of automobiles stopping: and then moving again as the traftic signals tlii'ert. llnrk! What is that noise? It sounds like the fire hell. Sure enough. up the street comes the large red tl'lu-k, and as it sounds its siren the dark ohjeets below 1111 crowd for the, 011111. The truck has passed. and in :1 very short time the ears helow resume their journeys. One could stand up here for hours and hours viewing the busy street and never tire. but we have left our work. and must again return to it. eLOUIs F. SCH MIDT. ,QC'iGtLQDIQ-LQ- Page Fifty-one

The whistle blows the signal for the work to start. The switch is turned on by which the large presses are set in motion to begin the daily output, of printed matter. 'In front, of each of these gigantic machines stands a press- nian watehing its rapid movements to prevent anything: from going wroiw. Anyone passing by such a shop at this time. as he gazes through the wintlm' and sees a line of pressmen attending to their duties. must re- ceive the impression that the toil of these men is as monotonous as that of any other laborer. lie is lead to think. when he sees all the presses in action, that the only task of the presslnan is to guard his press. But. to this type of workman and to anyone who understands printing. his labor is far more, interesting: than that of any other kind of trades man. Duringr the few hours it takes a press to run off a job his work is dull and uninteresting: but as soon as the morning run is over he be gins a task which is an art. His next duty is to put a job to press. Now the pressnlan's duties first connnence. It is his task to put the form of type and the press into such a condition that the new job will be printed perfect. To make the job print right the pressinan must nn- tlerstantl the art of ttnialwreadyfi This consists in discerning which part of the form is printing too heavy and which too light and then makingr the whole form print with equal amount of ml- or; also. in placingr the guides of the Dress in eorrect positions so that the job is printed squarely on the paper. Perfection in this art is the goal of the press- inan. lie knows that in order to rise among his tradesmen he must improve himself in this one duty. It is his ambition to excel in that quality of his work. which makes the presslnanis task different from and more interesting than that of any other laborer. iANTllnNY BEYER. Elie Zlimhing Jlnhwatrg in my Hump 61mm oRT WASHINGToN. the city of seven hills. is Psitnated on the west shore of Lake Michigan about twenty-five miles north of Milwaukee. It has 2 good harbor. not very large. but suitable for small fishing tugs. Beingr ideally situated for tishing. that business is its chief industry. There are about, five concerns carrying on this trade. The Delos Smith Co. is the largest. They have a large. steel. steam tug. a large store. and in addition have two trucks which carry fish to inland cities and towns. The men who go out in the boats are a hardy lot. In former days sailing vessels were used. and on choppy days it was a dangerous way to make a living. In modern days, however. the staunch steanl tugs make it nmeh safer. At 5:30 in the morning; you can see the little tiers plowing: out, in weather cold or warm. fair or stormy. The fishermen usually set their nets ot't' Sheboygan. because it is a noted tishing grounds. After settingr their nets they return home about 11:00. From then until two obloek they work in the shanties. helpingr to make, clean, and pack the Iish. Then at two tfcloek they . :Jail go out to tthaul in their catch. On a good day the Smith boat brings in as high as four thousand pounds, and on poor days as low as seventy-tive pounds. As I said before, it is a hardy trade, which demands hard work and sacritiee. li'reqnently the boats run into a heavy fog: which is usually accompanied by a rough lake. The families of these men experience much anxiety when their husbands and sons are out in a small tishinf.r tug. on a dangerous lake. and enveloped in a heavy fog. Sometimes it is as late as 1:00 before they come home on batl nights, Then in winter it is so cold at times that the whole boat is covered with ice. and the men are forced to work in the bitter eoltl, loweringr and 'aising: the nets. The Iishing industry is building up the city of Port Washington. and already is it widely known as a place where good tish are obtain- able. Many people come from Milwaukee to Port to buy tish. XVhen this city grows to be large in population and prosperity. it will owe its success largely to 0111' hardy fishermen. eEnwlum HIVETTMANN. Page Fifty .39me 9 2 9 Zeta: -- u ;

K A N Extrm'ting Hum; ONE OF MY tasks duringr the snnnner is to help my father extmet honey. This Work is done some time in September. usually depending 1111011 the kind of weather we had during the past s1n11111e1-. If we have an early spring and a warm summer. the bees will produce :1 greater amount of honey than they will if we have :1 late spring and :1 rainy summer. In the ease of the latter the boxes which are to contain the honey will have to remain on the hives longer. After the boxes have been taken off the hives. we take the separate frames from each box and with 21 knife cut the little wax eappings off on both sides. 1Vhe11 the eappilws have been out off two of these frames, we put them into the extractor. 111 this extractor the frames eon- tuining the honey are. revolved :It a very great speed, and the centrifugal force causes the honey in the outer side of the frame to 11y out against the side of the exti'm-tor and run to the bottom. XVhen one side of the frame has been emptied, the other side is acted upon. This same work must he done with 2111 the frames we have. At the bottom of the extractor is a spout out of which the honey tiows into :1 container. The honey is then strained and heated so the small pieces of wax which have fallen into it 4-1111 he gotten out. The vessel containing the honey is not put directly on top of the fire. but into 2111- 0111el' container which is partly filled with water. The reason for heating the water around the honey is to keep the honey from hailing. After the honey 1121s heeome perfectly clear, it is put into large eontaliners where it is left to cool. This process is not used by 1111 honey 111'o- duvets. Many have not enough honey to bother with 1111 ext 'uetor. so they heut, both the honey and the vux in one large container. This way. when the honey has been cooled. the wax which has hardened 0n the top of the, honey can be taken Off and sold. XVe do not, do this heeuuse it makes more work for the bees the following; year. It has been estimated that, it takes the bees about three or four pounds of honey to produce one pound of wax, so one can see how much more honey :1 prodneer will get by saving the wax forms from the previous year.
