YEARS ACTIVITIES
PASSED IN REVIEW
Secretary Wilson Describes
Varied Achievements of the
Department of Labor.
GOOD OFFICES INVOKED
IN ADJUSTING DISPUTES
Division Of Information, Value of
Labor Statistics and immigration
Service Also Discussed.

Taking the past achievements of the
Department of Labor as criterion,
Secretary William B. Wilson. head of
that branch of the government. de-
cIared. in a statement made public last
night, that the hopes of the sponsors
for the infant department are in a
large measure possible of fulflllment.
The Secretary's statement is a resume
of the accomplishments of the depart
ment up to last July.
Reviewing the steps leading to the
establishment of the governmental
branch, and outlining the purposes OF
the department, Secretary Wilson said
that up until July l last the good
offices of the department have been in
voked and amicable adjustments ef-
fected in some seventy trades disputes,
affecting directly or indirectly some
100000 men and millions of dollars
worth of property. The amount of hard
ship and suffering and the property
losses which have been averted are in
calculable.
"An instance will convey an idea OIL
the proportions which some Of these con-
troversies assume and the results Whlch
are frequently achieved through the IN
tervention of the department In April,
1914, the department was requested TO
intercede in an effort to find basis OF
agreement in connection with a contro-
yersy which had arisen between the
Great Lakes Towing Company ard the
Licensed Tugmen's Protective Assocla-
ton, and which threatened to result in
the tying up of commerce in nearly every
port of the great lakes.

Exhibiting Fowls Is Educational.
Advisable to Specialize.

Breeding for exhibition, especially
after a reputation has been gained, is
very profitable. but not all men can be
fanciers. 1t is a talent that must be
born into Il man and nursed by good
common sense and wise judgment. To
gain prominence a man should have a
speciality. Fame is never secured with
a half dozen breeds.

Demand for Harvest Hands.

THE first large undertaking of this
nature occurred in May. 1914, when
requests began to pour into the de-
partment from the officials and farmers
of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and
South Dakota for assistance in their
efforts to procure harvest hands.
Through cooperation with the post
Office authorities the department was
enabled to give the widest publicity
to the needs of these states, with the
result that within comparatively
short time approximately $4,000 men
were directed to employment, and the
farmers were enabled to gather their
wheat crop in due season.
Hand in. hand with the movement for
the betterment of conditions of the wage
earners in the country has been the ef-
fort to improve the welfare of our chill
dren. The same spirit of enlightenment
which resulted in the creation of the De-
partment of Labor was responsible for
the establishment of federal children's
bureau, which is inquiring into tie
causes of infant mortality, as we'll as
other conditions surrounding and affecting
the lives of our children. 1t endeavors.
through it's teachings. based upon facts
disclosed by exhaustive Investigations, to
develop children into healthful, intelli-
gent and useful citizens. In the field of
child labor the bureau is rendering valua
BILE service, and it is anticipated that its
efforts in this direction will be effective
in reducing or eliminating the evils which
have crept into our complex system of
industry and which have operated to de-
prive so many of our children of the
opportunities for education and the de-
velopment of sound and healthy bodies.

Value of Labor Statistics.

1.-THE bureau of labor statistics is en-
gagged in the compilation of authoritative
information concerning labor in the most
comprehensive sense of that word, and
especially with regard to its relations to
capital, the hours of labor, the earnings
of laboring men and women and the
means of promoting their mental, social,
intellectual and moral prosperity.
AT the various immigration stations
throughout the country which come un-
der the jurisdiction of the bureau of inn
migration much has been done in the
way of humanizng the facilities for the
reception of aliens. Female employees
have been designated to exercise a care
full supervision over unaccomDanied wom-
en- and girls and to guard them from the
perils which constantly beset the un-
Sophisticated women who arrive at our
gates At Ellis Island, through which
the largest number of our immigrants
come, notable results have been achieved
In its administration of the immigration
laws, which bring before it all the ills
and woes peculiar to the human race the
physical, moral and mental welfare of
the immigrant is ever uppermost in the
departments mind

Most women. measured by an ideal
standard Of beauty, are too tall or too
thin. too short or too stout: they do
not stand well; they walk badly; or
they have spoiled their compilations by
hook or by crook-something 10 wrong.
The dressmaker's art is to cover these
defects so far as possible. to draw At
tention away from defects toward the
good points OF the figure.
The ideally beautiful woman can wear
anything from Greek gown to peas

very few exceptions allowed for the
perfect woman. designs In dress must
be adapted before they can be adopt
