Men's work gloves comprise 66 per cent. of all American leather gloves. The rude glove of primitive man or woman was made of skins and used largely as a protection against the cold. Remains of gloves found among prehistoric cave dwellers in- dicate this fact. During ancient and medieval times gloves continued to He made of tanned leather and were used by priests, knights and ladies, when riding and hunting. and as the lining to the steel gauntlets worn by warriors. During the seventeenth and eight~ eenth centuries the glove was a nec- essary article to the toilet. Then the glove had e huge gauntlet reaching far up the sleeve. Gloves figured much in the romance of those two centuries. and far on into the nineteenth. The slave was used in challenges to combat. by throw~ ing it at the feet of an opponent. Until a. very recent date the com- mon way of precipitating a. duel in Europe was to throw a glove in the race or ”the antagonist. Miniature gloves were often carried by women and given to their lovers. When a woman held out her hand to be kissed. e. custom still prevalent in southern. central and Russian Europe, she always took on! her glove. ' Until a. very recent period. gloves were made of leather. and dress gloves of kldskin, 9. name used to cover the common use of deer. sheep. kid and calf skins. Now lea.— thdr gloves‘are made of dog. cat, fox. bear. horse, kangaroo. hog. rat and other skins. The English dog~ skin glove is made of Cape’ahecp- skin from South Africa. Many moo- ern gloves are made of cotton, silk, wool and other cloths. France was once the home of the glove, then Italy. England and Ger- many encroached on this great in- dustry. and now the United States is rapidly becoming the world‘s glove center. The total glove out- put in 1900 in the United States was $17,740,335. Now the whole- sale output ranges far above sew enty million dollars in value. The first. glove makers of the United States came from Scotland. in 1760. at the instance of Sir Wil- liam Johnson. They settled on his land in Fulton County. New York. hence the name Glover-evince. This county has remained the center of the glove industry in the (United States. although \Vlsconsin, Illinois and California have large manu- facturing plants for gloves. Work and automobile Bloves and gauntlet: are manufactured principally in (ac-4 torles located in the Mldfle \Vest. Boxing. handball and sport gloves have become an important line in this industry. In the making of leathers gener- ally the United States is dependent on foreign sources for thirty-five per cent. or its cattle hides, forty- two per cent. of its calfsklns. sixty- flve per cent. of its sheepskins, and practically all of its goatsklns. Am- erican industries import seventy per cent. of the crude tanning material]... Imports of cloth and leather gloves for 1923 were 8,225,113 pairs, valued at $10,916,730.

The sounding of a new note from the pulpit toward the press in re- cognition of mutuality oi! service is encouraging. It is an ancient cus- tom projected even down to the present for the voice of the. church in its ofllclal utterances to decry the voice of the press in its news purveyance. Blanketing all daily papers as members of the guild of Satan, it is not unusual for the ecclesiastical opera and the average pulpiteer to c arge the sins of the world to the chronicler- of their unlovellness. To the irreligious editor and the ir- responsible repnrier who, with lit- tle spiritual happiness and less ma- terial profit. deal with life and life's issue in current recital of facts and what follows them that is wrong with the world is considerately as- cribed. It is an unsportsmanllke proceed: ing. furnishing easy escape for much pent-up dissatisfaction with things as they are. ~But it fails to aid in making them what they ought to be. It registers no relief from sin and suffering, wickedness. wrechedness and woe, however much it may re- lieve the souls or the shifter‘of the bulk of bruden in salvage from the sectarian of secular shoulders. There has been manifested now and ihen of late a change of heart and reversion of judgment. Light has begun to break in upon the darkness that simply would not see. The new note has begun to sound out clear in conviction that for the propagation of the grace that saves. discriminating use of the daily pa- per is far better, far more efficacious in spiritual as well as material be~ half. than indiscriminate. incon- siderable abuse. We welcome the testimony of Dr. Roy B. Guild to the Cincinnati Fed- eration of Churches that the news- paper of today is not the handblll of the devil. unrighteously devoted to the performance of his works. The declaration of Dr. Guild that “never have the newspapers given so much space to religious news as they are giving today" eminently is competent evidence of fact. It is true, as he further testifies. that' “what the churches are doing is considered to be news." And it rests with the churches just how much of what they are doing is ligitimate- 1y to be considered. Also how much of“: is competent matter for editorial comment, for cordial com- mendation or constructive criticism. It, is e self-evident truth that somehow but slowly pentraies the consciousness or the cloth that the newspaper deals with life values. that it mirrors with emphasis those phases 'which most vitally have hearing on life manifesting its best expressions or its worst: thit it reveals for good the worst phases in contrast with the best in evidence or what is in illustration of what should be that it stands for civic righteousness in the highest inter- est of upright citizenship; that it condemns the wrong and commends the right and covers neither with the cloak of concealment. Jn the matter of news values just in proportion as an egency for life‘- best expreslons — of which thl. church is the oldest and most tar- reaching —- makes demonstration of its dealings with life it makes new and attractive comment. And as a companion agency 15!- good, al- ways the power of the press is at the service of the pulpit for the sav- ing of the people, the conservation of' upright citizenship. the promul- gation of the truth that makes men free oi! will, sound of mind, clean of heart. ‘ Water Heater.
