AMERICAN SAILOR INDUSTRY REV|VEb
.HONORED FAR AWAY IN FRANCE ON WAR

PARIS, March 21.-Oficial figures
just given out by the Department of
Labor Inspection show revival of in
dustry and a decrease in the number OF
idle workmen in France. More than
half of the industrial and commercial
establishments of the country closed at
the beginning of the war, when an av-
erage of twenty-four per cent of tfhe
.workmen were called to the colors.
Forty-two per cent were thrown out OF
employment by the closing of the es-
Establishments, leaving only thirty-four
per cent continuing to earn their wage
In about $4,000 establishments in
spected 100000 workmen were en-
ployed in time of peace. The figures
fell to one-third of that number in
August, 1914, then increased progress
ively to 100000 in January of this
,year, which is seventy-five per cent. OF
the normal. Taking into account the
twenty-four per cent modified, there
are actually employed now in French
industries one per cent more of work.
| Ia AZ
These figures would seem incompat-
ible with the fact that many industries
are still closed, but it is explained that
though building industries and a few
others have less work since the war
began, other industries have more.
1t cost the government 1874, 900
francs to support idle workmen in
Paris alone during the second half of
january, 1915. In the second half of
January 1915 this allowance had fallen
to 1,524,0OO francs. In some other
cities the number of people out of en-
ployment has been reduced to ten per
cent.
Excepting among such employees as
garment workers in Paris and kindred
industries, all wages are higher, ac-
ccrding to the official figures.

ST. GEORGES, Bermuda Islands,
March 21.-Many Bermudians, and
Americans who temporarily make their
homes in these Islands, made pilg-
rimmage on Washington's Birthday to
the grave of Rochard Sutherland Dale,
a midshipman of the United States
Navy who died here from wounds re-
ceived in the battle between the Amer
lean frigate President and British
naval vessels more than a hundred
years ago. In the quaint cid burying
ground around st. Peters Church here
large number of people gathered and
deposited floral tributes on the grave
of the plucky midshipman.
Dale sailed with Commodore Decatur
in the frigate President when that not
cd commander left the remainder of
his squadron, the Peacock, the Hornet
and the storeship Tom Bowline, at
New York to escape the British block
Eade. His vessel having grounded while
going to sea, Commodore Decatur de-
cided, after proceeding some distance,
to return to port for repairs. On his
way he fell in with squadron of four
British frigates on January 15,1S15. 4
terrific engagement followed in which
the President badly cut up the British
frigate Endymion, forcing her to re-
tire. The other three British frigates,
the Majestic, the Ponce and the Tene-
dos, surrounded the President and
finally forced her to surrender, but
not until % Of her men had been killed
and 60 wounded. They were one-quar-
ter of the Presidents crew.
The President was brought by her
capitors to Bermuda and the wounded
landed at this port. Midshipman Dale
lost leg in the battle. He died at
Stennett's Hotel here on Thursday,
February %, 1915. In announcing his
death the Bermuda Royal Gazette said:
This young gentleman was severely
wounded in the late engagement and
though sanguine hopes were at frs:
entertained for his recovery, he has
fallen another victim to this unnatural
war, unspeakably lamented by his
brother officers and deeply regretted
byall here who witnessed his exempt
airy behavior and patience under his
sufferings."

English Are
Wearing En-

LONDON, March 21.-The English
people are beginning to believe that
they are wearing shoes made of Ger
man leather through the fact that
many of their shoes are imported from
Switzerland where the manufacturers
are known to use large quantities of
German leather. Their suspicious were
recently confirmed by the fact that
British imports of shoes from Switz-
erland during February were nearly
double those of the corresponding
period in 1914. Information was given
in the House of Parliament recently
that the use of German leather to the
extent of % per cent in shoes imported
from Switzerland is permissible.

German Folks
Raise Prices
On Cigars

HAMBURG, Germany, March 21.-
Manufacturers and retailers have in
creased the price of cigars because of
the further rise in Dutch exchange.
The cigar that formerly retailed for Il
pfennigs, is sold today for 16, and the
more expensive grades the advance is
greater.
The German tobacco market, of
which Hamburg is the center, had
large supplies of tobacco on hand when
the war began, but these were used up
about year ago and since then Ger
many has been obliged to depend
chiefly upon such tabacco as came in
from Holland In addition to the in
crease caused by the rise in Dutch ex-
change, there may be still further ad-
Eances because there is talk of
higher tax upon tobacco in all forms.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 21-The
entire Florida East Coast Railway sys
/ tenn, according to dispatches to the
Manufacturers Record, is to be oper-
ated by oil-burning locomotives. Since
last summer the road has been expert
menting with oil-burning locomotives
Oh portion of its line. These expert
ments have been SO satisfactory in ,ev.
cry particular that the company is
now engaged in converting all of the
engines on its main system and on
most of its branches into oil-burning
engines, and expects by the first OF
January next to operate its entire line
between Key West and Jacksonville
with fuel oil.
The company will establish addition
al storage tanks, holding $4,000 bar
rels each, at South Jacksonville and
New Smyrna, with small tanks at other
places.
Mexican fuel oil is being used, and
an Official of the company wires:
Our experience indicates a oonsid-
cradle saving in cost with other salts
factory conditions not available with
COAL
The operation of this system by oil
will completely do away with cinders
! and smoke, and it will doubtless slim
Iulate other roads in other parts of the
South to experiment with oil as fuel.
The news in regard to industrial un
dortakings of large magnitude and the
a Editions to established plants coming

Attempts to mandamus Arizona rail-
roads doing interstate business to car

will be fought. Unless compelled by
court order to handle liquor, the rail-
roads will reject shipments.
This is the announcement Of Jack c.
Forrest, local attorney for the Arizona
Eastern yesterday on his return from
a long conference of attorneys and
traffic men representing every railroad
doing interstate business in Arizona.
Acknowledgment was made of threats
to mandamus the roads, and to sue
them for damages in the event of their
refusal to tote the "ed-eye.
1t was for the purpose of avoiding
possible suits that a tentative agree
ment was considered about ten days
ago, by the traffic officials, to carry
liquor. Although jealousy guarded by
the officials, the proposed plan was de-
scribed in The Republican. Suisse
quently, it was strenuously denied, but
it was not until Saturday, in the con-
ference of legal and traffic officers
that the railroad men definitely decided
to contest the issue. The discussion
lasted the entire day.

BLOOD Tells IN
RAISING Of CORN

Is peGigreed seed worth while? Is
10 answer in the negative. Yet there
IS ample proof that blood will tell in
seeds just as in livestock. This fact
was well demonstrated in the Boys
Corn Club at Whitewater last year,
which work was carried on under the
Joint supervision of Farm Advisor A
l.. Faschall and State Club Leader L.
6. Parkc of the L. of A. Agricultural
Extension Service cooperating with the
/. 8 department of agriculture. The
yields OF one acre plats of corn grown
ty three boys are reported as follows:
Dale Patterson, 66 bushels, variety,
Sacaton June; Willie Schultz So bush
els, variety Sacaton June; l. j. Patter-
son, 81 bushels, variety, common Mex
lean June The difference between the
low Yield and the high is believed to
of the Sacaton June variety. This va
r.ety has been bred for about six years
Cor southern Arizona conditions by Mr.
/ T. W. Hudson, formerly of the L. S.
experiment station az Sacaton and now
EgYrlian cotton specialist of the u.
OF A. Agr Ext. Service, cooperating
With the L. S. department of agricul-
ture. Wherever given a fair trial Sac
atom June corn has proved Its super
! iority to other varieties in the hotter
1 portions of Arizona. Other pure bred
home grown, adapted varieties of crops
/ are giving the same striking results. all

Another valuable publication is an
