CHURCHILL ON HORRORS Of WAR

London-"The only epitaph history
eouia write upon such catas-
trophe, said Winston Spencer
churchill, first lord of the admiralty
III referring to the possibility of
general war as result of the Balkan
situation, would, be this-that a
whole generation of men went mad
ana tore themselves to pieces"
he said that while a strong feeling
naturally existed between Russia and
austria over the Balkan question, a
resort to war by them would be a hor-
ror utterly disproportionate to any
cause existing or any compensation
that might be achieved.
christian civilization" he con-
tlnued, looks across the tangles of
diplomacy to the sovereigns of those
august empires and asks whether
klngship might not in these modern
democratic days win for itself new
luster and proclaim to the multitudes
OF enfranchlsed toilers. in whose
hands power Is being increasingly
reposed, the fact that the monarchy
Is the bulwark of European peace"
A great gulf, Mr.. Churchill said,
separated the affairs of Russia and
Austria from those of the other Eu-
ropean powers. and that they had only
to pursue the policy Of trusting one
another, which they had been pur-
suing, and nothing could drive them
from the path OF sanity and honor.

GREAT SHORTAGE IN
SKILLED LABOR HERE

There Is a shortage OF skilled labor
in Detroit that is seriously hamper
ing business operations" says Capt.
A. e. Stewart, supervisor of the Board
OF Education.
Il find that contractors engaged in
work on the schools have trouble
finding men who will work. steadily.
Il notice the sign Carpenters Wanted
on nearly every building operation as
go about the city. Ii is apparently
impossible to get stone settlers. Every
delay caused by contractors inabil-
Iity 10 find workmen makes an incon.
yenience for later contractors who
are waiting to do their work on the
job, and who find 1t difficult to hold
their men until the job can be turn
ed over to them. The offer of higher
pay makes the men change their jobs
and look out for easier work"
Capt. Stewards observation are cor
roborated by other employers, even as
to unskilled labor.

Job
John j. Whirl, secretary of the En-
ployers' association, says:
L would say that the labor market
is better now than ii has been in the
past three months. There are not
many demands for labor that we can
not fill. On the other hand, we can
place all good applicants for jobs.
There seems to be a tendency for
the pratially equipped man to claim
for himself a higher rating than he
can maintain in practice. o coure
these men do not hold their jobs long
II better men can be found to take
their places. For a presidential year,

CHART is ON EXHIBITION

CHART is ON EXHIBITION

"The Board OF Health can tell the
hospitals OF Detroit where to get the
best milk, but so far. Grace Is the
only one that has asked us for ad
vice." said an employe OF the Board
of Health, explaining a chart which
is being exhibited in the convention
OF the American Hospital association
in the Hotel Pontchartrain.
The chart shows that a sample OF
the milk supplied to Grace hospital
had a meteorological count OF only
140,0 900, while samples from other hos
pitals showed in one instance $40, 900;
in another, 100000; in a third. 4S0,-
600; in a fourth, 1,T4O,000; while 10
one institution the sample showed a
count of 3,780,000.
On the other hand, the count in the
institutions directly under the Board
of Health showed: Detroit Board o.
Health, $1,000; Herman Kiefer hos
pital, 4,000.
"As these are tests OF individual
samples. they cannot be called con.
elusive; they are merely Indicative,
was the explanation. They show
however, that the Board OF Health
can advise the hospitals as TO the
best source of milk.
THAT the board Is able TO do this
IL due to our card score system, hv
which each dairy receives a grade
denoting its condition when the milL
department of the Board of Health
made its inspection"
The chart on exhibition shows that
the Board of Health and the Herman
kiefer hospital receive their milk
from dairy wich has a score of 773
out of a possible 100.
This is a dairy of the better class,
where special attention is paid II
cleanliness" continued the lecturer.
I'm the health tests, the dairy scored
so out of a possible 40; in the test
of methods, 47.3 out OF a possible co.
The cows were clean, the stables
were clean. the utensils were clean.
This score Is about as high as the or.
dinary dairy can achieve. There are
producers of certified milk who can
make higher mark, because they
have the latest devices. the most
modern construction, and take the
most precautions and they get a
much higher price for their product.
The dairies from which some OF the
hospitals take their milk show a
score as low as AZ
The conclusions drawn by the
Board Of Health are printed on the ex'
lhibition chart:
High scoring farms produce
the best milk.
2.--Milk received idrect from
the farm is usually IL 10 "a hours
fresher.
3.-There is less visible dirt,
and lower bacteria count, when
shal-top milking pals are used.
4.-Pasteurized milk has high
er bacteria count than raw milk
under good conditions, in this
count
The figures showing that pasteuri.
zation does not always produce the
best milk were derived from a com.
parlson of two hospitals which use
