A sensational report from New York on how chilled steel safes resist normal force and how electric power from street lights enables drilling and melting through hinges, locks, and bolts. The piece notes the growing wartime surge in innovative offenses and mentions a London shop signaling “Flags Cleaned Here” amid curiosity about restoring old banners and symbols of patriotism.
The piece explains a modern safe cracking method using ordinary electric power and carbons from street lamps with copper wire. It notes burglars can pass as linemen and avoid incriminating items, prompting concerns about safe security in offices and the ease of access to wiring in buildings. It also mentions historical orders and portraits linked to Nelson and Majuba.
London Mail argues no modern life develops without new tasks for busy hands and even revives old callings, suggesting the growth of specialized labor streams as society evolves. The piece reflects on how trades adapt to changing urban needs and consumer demands.
The Twelfth Census employs the Union Paper Mills cards and Hollerith machines to record 80 million residents. Clerks punch cards detailing birth, occupation, language, literacy and more, then feed them to an electric tabulating system that counts by sex age race and district, promising a 50 percent time saving.
A couple plans to move but receive a telegram from a Richmond associate forcing immediate travel. The husband departs for Richmond, the wife delays moving, and upon return discovers their goods unsettled as they confront the unexpected change and the irony of a delayed move. The tale closes with a stray line about a California woman earning a substantial salary as an Insurance manager.
