French Nation Fosters Time-Keeping Industry The making of time-keeping {nstruments is one of the oldest and most highly developed of French industries. When the teaching of apprentices in the shops of watchmakers became inadequate for the development of the trade, professional schools were established, fostered by the state and supInaddition, a municipal school of watchmaking was founded at Paris, a nationalized school at Lyons and a private school at Dreux.

We do not subscribe to that idea, for never was it easier for a man to get the necessities. The fight of 90 per cent of the people is for luxuries. Almost any man can go out and make a living, get enough food and clothing and shelter so that. he will not suffer. But it is the luxuries of life that we all demand and not a mere living. We want motor cars, better clothes, a better education; amuSement and -a certain amount of leisure time, all of which is laudable and an ambition worthy of our time.—Newcastle Times. Tree Is Sugar Factory Plants require the same kinds of food as animals, with the important difference that the plant manufactures its own food and animals obtain theirs by browsing. on plants or devouring other animals. The tree is a factory where starches ‘and sugars _8re manufactured out of substances the tree finds {n the earth beneath it, in the air above, and in the sunlight, says Forest and Mankind. There are just three principal groups of food for both plants and animals—carbohydrates, fats and proteins. These are all formed in the living plant, primarily from the simple sugars, “Climax” Forests When undisturbed by man or fire, nature works constantly toward the perpetuation of certain forest types, says Forest and Mankind.
