quence, believes that the general sit uation of the .workingma has vastly | improved and thatshis wages, by and
 large, have gone up faster than the ] cost of living. @
 1 In arriving at this decision he takes into account the situation of the un-
 skilled workers, and in agreeing with
 MT. Steffen that their wage increases
 have not been appreciably great, be- 1ieves that the more and more favor able status of the country worker in conjunction with the rapid decrease in non-employment, over-ba1ances higher prices.
 The women, far more than the men have been the gathers in the unskilled trades, and to them, it is believed. is due the large and unexpected in crease in savings deposits which the banks have recorded. A portion of
 them-the minority it is estimated
 have, it is true, had to go to work alongside husbands and brothers who
 are not serving in the army bu4 a larger portion are comparatively
 prosperous.
 This is due, as MT. sKoersten ex- plains. roughly to two things. <. In the first place the biggest eater sand most expensive member of the family; the
 man, is gone and the expenses of his upkeep are being met by the govern
 
 man now has more than once source of ineome-her share of her husband g pay and what she herself earns. This applies of course only to the work ing woman
 Some fifty thousand women in Berlin are doing mes work. The greater part of them at the same time receive from the state at least some thing toward their support The exact ratio of the present family income to that of, say, fourteen months ago, is unobtainable, but it is believed in a large number of cases to be nearly as great as before.
 with the famiIy's chief expense away, it has been possible for the women to establish almost a record in
 saving. Thus the July deposits in Berlin savings banks this year were 12 365 ,00O marks, as against S,730 900 marks last year. The withdrawals reached 4,1O5, 900 marks. in compart- son with s,2S6, ,Oo0 marks in 1914, an unusually high figure caused by the war scare
 | At the Berlin Municipal Savings Bank alone the 1o7,681 depositors during the year ending August 31i 1915, banked 7,518,615 marks, an average of about 70 marks, where the average in 1918 and 1912 was only 1 5T marks, and in 1911 60 marks. Ir 1912 the savings books averaged ATS
 marks, in 1913 the figure rose to 4s7
 and in 1914 to 506 marks This aver
 age dropped in April only to 467 mark!
 after 1o.5o0,ooo marks had beer
 withdrawn by depositors within twelve days, and 18.0Oo,0oO and sO.-
 O0O,0o respectively had been put in to the two war loans.

efficiency. and by all who have sought 1t the answer has been found in the schools of Switzerland4s
 At the agetsof eight every Swiss
 schoOlsboy begins his course of physi-
 cal training It gradually takes up
 more of his time until he completes his sixteenth year.
 The whole course of physical iri-
 structionA even during the years of immaturity, is under. the supervision of the federal war department. There 1 is but one primer for the physical training in the schools and that is is- sued and edited by the war department The teacher is the primary military instructor of every Swiss boy. 1 Hand in hand with the physical
 training of the Swiss boy at school
 goes that of the cadet corps, where the lad undergoes all of the exercises. 1 of the school for the soldier to that of the school of battalion, and where, he receives a thorough and sys-- ternatic course in rifle practice and firing theory. Rifle practice for the youngsters is accorded in absolute
 military fashion. including range and field exercises.
 Preparatory courses for boys be- tween the ages of sixteen and twenty form another division of the pre-re- cruiting work These preparatory courses consist of exercises each Sum, day morning all through Switzerland under the leadership of officers.
 An infantry soldier enters service at his twentieth year, serves foR sixty seven days in a school for recruits, and after that serves for thirteen days each year until he is twenty-eight. He belongs to the first line for four years longer-until he is thirty-two, but iB not bound to do any yearly service during that period.
 From tairtv-tWO to fOrty-tFyO he. wehr In this capacity he serves for years, until he is forty. he serves in coIors twice for a period of one week $ In addition every Landwehr and Landsturm soldier has to present hiu2- self for annual inspection when he must account for the care of his uri- form and arms.
 In civil life every Swiss soldier. which means every able Swiss citf- zen of military age, is a member of a. rifle club, under the supervision Of which he undergoes a yearly rifle shooting test, consisting of thiry-six shots with a minimum of 75 per cent hits and 60 per cent. points for each exercise.
 Government shooting tournaments are held every three years and the
 highest award in these events is the title of Master Shot, given to those who make seventy-five hits out of one hundred shots within an s-tnch circle, in kneeIing position, at dis
 tance 33O yards. In 1910 at Berne, 12s Master Shots qualified.

not the interest of the American pota- to at heart They could. as a matter of fact, see it cut into chips or shot to Juienne pieces without shedding a tear, or, at least, only one.
 The circular makes 1t clear that the potato is to get a square deal for the first times in it's warty existence on the day specified, but no mention is made about what city dwelling per sons should do to show that they are in the party Apparently one may hang out anything from flag to a potato vine on that day without in suIting the committee.
 This is another movement very much like the .tbuy a bale of cotton" campaign and the purpose of 1t is to get the potato crop distributed. In the case of bale of cotton one found it necessary to play southern songs to it and keep it in the sun during the time that the south was being helped, but in the case of the potato there is no end Of novel table uses to which it may. be sentenced.

 For instance. do you personally know how to run potato fair We'll here it is in a mighty brief paragraph:
 To run a spanking potato fair one need simply exhibit plates of the diff ferent varieties of potatoes, each cor rect1y labelled; reports of their yield small and big crops with their why and wherefore. all the different i'm .pleme7ats, tools, apparatus employed in producing and harvesting the crop manHres, fertilizers, hrne agricultural chemicals for potatoes, with photos of their results: right and wrong methods of spraying, harvesting, storing, shipping, marketing; names and addresses of dealers and commits sion merchants who handle potatoes those who are satisfactory, and espe- eia1Iy those who are not reliable or who have proven to be sWindIers

SWISS MILITARY SYSTEM.

The Swiss system which results in 8 large citizen so1diery ready for in stant duty at a most moderate ex- pense, is often mentioned.
 The following information in regard to it may be of interest. The facts are on the authority of an ex-Swiss officer.
 On the third of August last. Switzer- land, the oldest of the republics, showed the world that within forty eight hours she could mobilize her army of 100000 men and have it dis tributed on the strategically important points along the French-Gernan- Austrian Italian border.
 Only a small fraction of the time consumed in the training of the best standing armies of, Europe is used in bringing Switzerland citizen-soIdiery to the same or a greater degree Of

BAKER Will PLAY
WITH THE White SOX
Information From New York
is That He Has Already
Signed
ANNOUNCEMENT
TO COME SOON

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Home-run
Baker will wear White soX uniform
next season. This startling infor-
nation is furnished by one who is
seldom wrong on big moves in the
baseball world It has been known
for some time that Charles Comiskey
was willing to go the limit TO
strengthen his team, also that he was
anxious to obtain the services Of the
Athletic holdout.
The information goes further ana
saws that Baker has already signed
White Sox contract. The announce
ment will be made at the American
Leagues meeting in Chicago accord
ing to the program. The addition Of
Baker TO the White Sox lineup viii
make that team start the season as
the best looking Of the bunch.
With Baker attached to the Chi
cago Club it will make the American
League more topheavy than before.
When the season closed last scal
there were only three teams in that
circuit-Red Sox. Detroit and White
Sox-that could be seriously consid-
cred. If the heavy slugger becomes
member OF that triumvirate It
makes the prospects more dismal for
the other five clubs and also gloomy
for the entire league.
II is also asserted that when Cap
tain Huston and Manager Donovan
went to Wilmington to talk busi-
ness with Baker he was practically a
member Of the Chicago squad. The
Home-run King did not let the cat
out Of the bag az that conference

was the case, and the two New Nork
