which recently reduced its modest dividend rate,
a considerable number of men were employed,
at the full union rate Of wages The order was
received to reduce the force by One-half An in
dispensable few Of the men, being of that kind
which thinks Of the work first and the wages
afterwards, were retained on full time. AS many
more were laid off, and the remainder were re-
dueed to part time.
This complied with the order from the head
office, and apparently reduced the productive
capacity Of those shops so per cent. But in
the first. week the output was 20 per cent of
what it had been before, and in the third week
it was 50 per cent, at which figure it has con-
tinued without the Encouragement of a single
hand
This is true story. Where is the paradox?
Any labor union leader knows the answer. The
original staff, with the exceptions already noted
had been working union pace With some men
laid off, those on half time, knowing the pre-
.carious nature of their employment, worked
nearer to their capacity, putting out results, in
quantity and quality, such as any honest and
selfrespecting man wants to put cut if his fool
leader will let him.
Nothing has added more to the high cost of
living, bearing with peculiar hardship upon

to bring down the price of commodities. build
up again lost and wasted working capital, and
finally restore boom times, with ample employ

work, than an increase in the efficiency of labor

Lived on a Dime a Day.

John Hicks, aged 78, a basket
maker and well-known character
of Tacoma, Wash, is dead after
having lived for years on an al
lowance of ten cents a day. His
diet consisted of soup, bread and
coffee. Sigty years ago he was
the owner of considerable prop
erty in Chicago but lost it and
drifted to the West. He first
came into prominence in Tacoma
when he appealed to the county
commissioners for aid, more than
ten years ago. He then outlined
his simple method of living.

and coffee. | don't bother to eat
anything at noon. It's quite a
nuisance eating by ones self any
way" explained Hicks. Then
for my meal in the evening l

coffee and make it last a month

The young ladies of the league de-
cided to give an entertainment and re-
ception. The entertainment was bound
to cost little money for music and
incidentals. but it had to be given as
an accompaniment of the reception at
which a visiting pastor. who at one
time had been rector of the church,
was to be guest of honor.
A subscription to defray the expense
was started. 1t met with Il very gen.

vidual contributions. When the en-
tertainment and reception were finish

had the finances in charge began reck
Oning up. They found that they were
$3.50 to the good after all bills had
been paid.

send it back to those who contribut-

If you have biscuits or rolls left
from one day to the next and want
to warm them up, place in a pan and
cover tightly. Two pans the same size
do beautifully. They can then be
placed in hot oven for a few minutes,
just long enough to heat them thor
oughly, and when taken out they will
be like fresh baked ones, much more
delicious than when dampened before
putting into the oven. Bread and cake
that have become dry can be freshened

"Swat the Spy"

In times of peace the slogan of
civilization was "SwaI the fly"
With the gathering of the war
clouds and the breaking of the
tempest of death and devasta-
ton, the slogan was changed to
"Swat the spy" There is some
analogy, too, between the fly
and the spy. Both are omnipre-
sent, elusive and dangerous.
Each carries a malignant mes
sage. One bears infectious dis
ease which Stays its victim slow
ly, the other lays bare the hearts
of men for the bullet and the
bayonet.
Like the fly, the spy is not an
object Of sympathy. Though
Drawing perils every moment of
his life, heroics are not for him.
He works in secret and his do
ings are shrouded in mystery.
His reports are whispers which
must not be heard even around
his own camp fire. If he is
caught by the enemy he faces
the firing squad and his riddled
body is dumped into an unmark-
ed grave.
1t is not hard to understand
the indifference of the world to
the fate of the spy. While his
services are of vital Importance
to his army, they are. in their
nature, repugnant to the unim-
passioned mind. Void of any,
thing savoring of dishonor, his
acts inspire aversion instead of
sympathy. The glory of the
common soldier who dies with
his back to the field and his feet
to the foe" never comes to the
spy. AS artful and perilous as
his operations of necessity must
be, he dies unhonored and IN
sung. The spy is the gadfly OF
war. His elimination is a srate-
gic necessity and his passing ex-
cites no pity. Louisville Times.

The first arithmetic ever print

in 1875, was also exhibited, with
it's diagrams daintily Illuminated
in colors on vellum.
There are some queer things
about these early arithmetics.
How can boy do sums without
using the figure 0, for instance?
Yet in the arithmetics of IA A.
D., though the rest of the Ara
bic figures were all in use, 0 had
not yet been added Though it
was known in India long before
The children who did sums in
Europe then got along without
it, because they had to; but it
certainly was awkward work.
An arithmetic dating from 1491
the year before Columbus sailed,
shows the first example in which
lodg division, in its modern form
is successfully worked out. Co.
lumbus probably couldn't do long
division to save his life, except
in the old galley" form, which
was a complicated and colossal
process, in which the division
was done by scratching out.
1t was not until 1915, in an
arithmetic, published at Nurem-
berg, that cube root was worked
out and printed, AS for algebra
when a student in those early
days attempted to solve q prob

Militants and the Shamrock,

There is no reason to doubt the re-
port that attempts have been made re-
Gently by militant sufrragists In Eng
land to inture Shamrock ", Sir
Thomas Lipton's latest challenger for
the International yacht races. Such a
shining mark would be sure to at
tract the iconoclasts who are operat-
ing in England to the end of attract
ing attention to the suffrage cause and
rendering uncomforta bile the position
of the British government. 1t is of
no moment to these destroy-rs that
the object of attack is in no wise iden-
titled with the issue of woman suf-
frage. This has been proved repeat
edly in the furious onset against works
of art, in the burning OF churches and
dwellings and other acts of vandalism.
Sir Thomas Upton is not distinctly
hostile to the suffras lists, but his yacht
is just at this time an important ma
tional aspect, SO to speak, and doubt
less its destruction would be regarded
by the militants as a tremendous tri-
Americas cup races and render worth
less very heavy expenditure of both
American and English money. AS a
mere act of destructiveness 1t would
perhaps be the crowning achievement
Of militantism. though whether 1t
would influence anybody to favor wom-
an suffrage is another question. More
