STEEL MILLS DOUBLE FORCE,
BUT DON'T RAISE WAGES

An investment of $25,OOO,OOO is to
be made at Gary, Ind, by the United
States Steel Co. 1t is expected to dOu-
die the. present force Of 10000 mis-
erabIy paid workers who now occupy
huts and novels in and about that
city.
This announcement was made by
the steel company the same day that
Ebert H Gary, millionaire steel mag
nate, was indicted in Youngstown,
O., for conspiracy to keep down the
wages of common labor
The steel company is now spending
$15,000,000 on new blast furnaces.
These two late additions will make
Gary the largest steel plant in the
world. The wages of the men in these
mills average $500 a year. But they
don't work all the year round. Many
are employed only months of the12.
A 10 per cent increase in the steel
corporations payroll was made by
Gary about two months ago. The U.
S. committee on industrial relations
said this move was made because of
the Youngstown riots, where 5000
men held a little revolution and de-
strOyed property and lives.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND LIQUOR.

1.-The United States public health service brands
strong drink the most efficient ally of pneumonia =
This sentence taken from warning recently issued by
the United States public health service constitutes one
OF the strongest prononnceens against excessive ndug
in strong liquors that has from an official
culture tried under the pure food laws to interfere with
the making of distilled liquors Now the health service
has taken step ahead of this in issuing such warning
not voice governmental opinion favor of total absti
It merely states that at this time of year. when
pneumonia is easily contracted by persons whose vitality
is somewhat reduced moderation in respect to alcoholic
liquors is advisable
Fifty, twenty-five years ago. before the prohi-
biton movement received practical support the ground
of efficiency the government could have issued such
warning without the least fear of resentment Today,
however there is likely to be dissatisfaction among
those engaged in the manufacture and sale OF the kind
liquor referred to. But far-minded person who has
observed the deferoton of given to inemperance

DEFECTS IN THE NAVY.

If the testimony of Captain SIMS given before the
house naval committee is correct it shows that the most
serious defects Of the navy OF long standing We are
told that some of the ships which have been
toned to think Of the best in the world OF compare
lively little value The famous Oregon is said to be the
worst naval design put afoat The Kentucky, the
Kearsarge and the batteshps of the Connecticut type
not much better Captain Sims says that the whole pre-
dreadnought fleet would if ptted against the British
fleet topple like ninepns because colossal mis-
takes i'll construction have been rectlhed Per-
haps unreasonable to ask why there should have
been colossal mistakes in construction OF course cond
lions have changed since some OF these SHIPS were pu
and the question of keeping them up to date But
others were according to this Witness defective and in
felior from the start.
All of which would suggest that former secretaries of
the navy and former experts should observe restraint
in their discussion of the present situation The trouble
seems be with the organization of the navy department
that has prevailed for years We have had no general
staff and as result of this lack there way of get
ting respectful consideration of the criticism Of seagong
officers We told further that the naval college
had existed twenty-five years without student Secre-
tary Daniels had recognized the vital Importance of this
institution-being the first secretary to do soand
full complement of officers is kept there regardless Of
whether the fleet is short OF officers not AS
suit defects in the navy weakness III plans and
sentas any scheme of preparedness being brought
to light Already there has been an Improvement IN the
organization for Captain Sims said that with the present
chief of operations pass criticisms to personnel
and material there little danger that those criticisms
would not be considered.
We have heard much from former secretaries and from
others supposed to be authorities of the decline in the eff
cency Of gunners The natural inference that there
had been neglect of this very important matter But the
witness showed that this decline began far back
1909 when short-range target practice abandoned
And it continued to decline till 1913 By 1915 there hac
been 10 per cent improvement but the standing il
1913 only thirty hits possible hundred the show
ing still poor being only forty hits But there is
steady improvement and the ground lost will be
cred. These facts also ought to chasen somewhat thu
spirits of those who had charge of the navy in fome
years. 1t is comforting to know that Ships tn
dreadnoughts are all that could be asked They wei
built and most efficient

patient and kind in spite of my heart
lessness, and cold neglect. Is there any
hope OF his getting well?"
MY dear Mrs. Townsend, there Is
very little hope that your husband will
ever be well again, but. that does not
mean that he is sure to die soon. Para
lysis Is caused by ciot on the brain.
The danger is sthat conditions that
caused the clot in the first place may
cause another before that has had
time to be absorbed People rarely live
through the third stroke. IT. however,
there is no second stroke for some
time the forces rally and the clot is
absorbed. The patient slowly rallies
and sometimes 1t is years before an
other stroke comes He looked pity
ingly at the girlish figure before him
'will he ever talk again y she
asked.
