Az Al suggestions should be addressed to Ellen
LEDGER, independence Square. Philadelphia.
prize of 81 has been awarded to Flor
Gnce g: Dyer, 424e Westminster avenue.
Philadelphia, for the following suggestion;
At this season of the year it is desirable
to have ventilation in every apartment
without draught, yet If the windows are
raised and there is no ventilator the re-
suit is an unpleasant chilliness As the
purchase of ventators for every room
requires considerable outlay, ! have de-
vised the following which ! trust will
meet with the approval of all readers of
the EVENING LEDGER interested in this
matter:
Cut either an ordinary curtain pole Zone
or one and one-half inches i'm diameter) or
pasteboard tube. which Is proCurable
at trifiing cost, to correspond to the width
of the window in which it is to be i'm
serted. Close the window so that it rests
securely thereon. This VIII give an in
equality at the meeting point of the
sashes through which fresh air is admit
ted and the atmosphere of the room is,
therefore, purified. The windows have
sash curtains, so that my impro-
used ventllator is not visible from the
inside, although, even If visible, there is
no unsightlness, particularly If a curtain
pole is used. the wood of which corre-
spends to the woodwork of the window
framing.
Since the cumulative result of bad air
is poor health. I feel confident that this
inexpensive vcntilator will meet with
hearty approval.
4 prize of 80 cents has been awarded to
Miss Il. r., Miller, 25I3 North MyrtlewOod
street, Philadelphia, for the following sug-
grstiOn:
have noticed that the tips of kid
gloves, particularly womens wear out
sooner than the rest. Most of this is due
to the finger nails cutting the thin kld.
If a small piece of court plaster is
pasted in the tip after the first wearing,
when the glove has become fitted to the
hand, the finger tips win last as long as
the rest uf the glove,
A prize Of 80 cents has been awarded to
Mrs. A. +. Taylor, Grocer Campus, Chester,

Take hard-boiled egg, cut in half, take
yolk out, chop together leaf of lettuce,
few olives celery, mix with boiled
mayoanaise dressing, fill the halves with
mixture, then CRATE yolk over egg, Eggs
prepared in this way are especially good

Infinite gain, or woe Of bItterest loss.

has urged as of vital concern the
conservation of huma nlife and the

employees competent to perform their

with most appalling force.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The organ
ICED railroad men are demanding as
labor measure that the democrats
fulfill their campaign promises and
enact legislation for the regulation
Of railroad securities. The locomotive

issuing statements about this bill for
several weeks In the attempt to stir

legislation Of the capitalization that
goes into railroads as essential to any

SAFETY At SEA SUSTAINED

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Practical-
" every human act in grist to the
trade unionists' min in pleading the
workers cause.
This is illustrated by Editor Schar-
renberg Of the Coast Seamens Journal
who uses a decision Of Secretary Of
State Lansing to support the seamens
law. s
The federal premier, in his effort to
establish safety at sea, In these war
times, has declared that the placing
of American citizens in small boats on
the high seas Is not regarded as &C
cording them place Of safety" with
In the meaning of the term as used
in international law.
| The alert sailor man, who edits The
Seamen's Journal, makes this strong
point to justify the seamen's law:
sIf an open boat does not consts;
tute a place Of safety, what shall we
saw Of a nation which permits IFS
shops to go to sea on the longest pos
sibIe voyages with only sufficient life
boats to take IS per cent Of those on
board? And what shall We say when
ships are permitted to go to-sea In
the coastwise trade and for trafic on
the great lakes with 90 few h6eboats
ana rasts that lrcm ~ IL 50 psR ~

OF those on board will be without
either in case of accident?
AFTER all, it does not matter what
we might say about such policy.
The fact remains that the 'unreason-
able safety requirements in the La
Toilette seamen's act only calls for
lifeboats to accommodate rs per cent
OF those aboard vessel in the off
shore trade; and the same 'pernicious'
law requires lifeboat accommodation
for a much smaller number Tin some
instances as 10 was 20 per cent? if
the. vessel is engaged in the coast
wise trade or in navigation on the
great lakes.
Secretary Lansing's definition of q
place of safety ought to be helpful
in strengthening the safety features
in the seamen's law. If a seat in
hfeboat is not a place Of safety it
is surely immeasurably safer than
standing room on raft.
"tBoats for ALL is still an emin-
emily proper and reasonable demand

srElNMETz IN LABOR CENTRE

Charles P. Steinmetz, the electrical
engineering expert of the General
Electric Works of Schenectady, has
accepted the invitation Of the Labor
Centre" Association to act nits ad-
visory board. Others on the board
are Frank P. Walsh and Senator
Henri La Fontaine, of the Belgium
Parliament.
MIR. Steinmetz has taken much in
terest in the Labor Forum that is to
be held this winter in the Washington
Irving High School He now ex-
presses himself very keenly on the
principle operating behind the Labor
Centre, the idea of which is to acce-
lerate the tendency of labor agencies
to concentrate in the Union Square
district. When Carl Beck, who is d.
recting the work of the Labor Centre,
presented the plan to Mr.. Steinmetz,
he remarked:
"For the first time in this country
see sound and well-thought-out
programme which labor can use to in
crease its voltage. It is, a pity that
the labor movement is so split up as
it is now into factions, sects, and dis
senting groups. There seems nothing
to bind together the Independent
strands, If the factions are in reality

day. Another economy" device was
the absence of an engineer to oversee
the work of construction. When the
danger was imminent, there was no
one who knew and no one who could
give warning. Whatever was the
cause of the cavern, the total absence
OF precaution against such disaster
or to insure the safe construction of
the work upon which the safety of the
lives OF so many passengers will de-
pend, was in harmony with the policy
OF cheap labor. But cheap labor is in
accord with false notions of cost. It
is that ideal of cheapness that has no
regard for permanence, for conserving
productive power and for estimating
properly the value of the creative
genius that directs and controls the
muscles and the motions Of men. II
1t was significant coincidence that
at the time of the accident" the in
terests hostile to the welfare Of the
workers, who constitute the great ma
jority of the nation, were seeking to
have declared unconstitutional law
intended to raise the standards of
workmanship and manhood of those
employed upon the public works of
New York.
The labor movement has steadfast-
ly insisted that that which is of
transcendent Importance to any ma
ton is the protection and the develop
ment Of its people.
A nation will stand or fall as the
citizenship develops or deteriorates.
The material things of civilization
are intended for the service Of hui
man beings.
All power and policies of protection
ought to be in accord with the ideals
which portect tn ehuman at any sac
rffice.
. To employ cheap labor for muni-
cipal construction at the rate Of $3.50
per day is too high cost to be toll
Grated by any community. That saw
ing of public moneys means an ex-
penditure of unpaid human productive
power. It means under-nourfshmen
poor clothing, poor homes, lack of
the things that are essential for best
social intercourse, not only for the
individuals employed, but Of all those
upon them. It means de-
struction and thwarting Of human
power that might develop into valu-
able useful citizens. It is a brutal
waste of human life in the effort to
save few dollars.
It is high time that our municipali-
ties, GU rstates and our national gov
eminent should set all employers Of
human labor an example of proper
policies of conservation and real un-
Outstanding of what constitutes low
cost. Of production.
We can no longer tolerate cheap
standards, cheap wages. "cheap work
