Jumps for that machine and ties the

For this work Oscar Heineman

Youngest the law allows. He holds
the record in the state of Illinois for
the number of girls employed. He
has 402 under 10 and 313 over that
age. Average pay week for girls
under 10 is 81 and none of the little

Heineman cheats his workers out of

FORD BACK HOME ONCE MORE
AVOIDS CEREMONIES

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 5-Henry Ford
came back to his home yesterday.
He arrived from New York, accom-
panied by his wife and son, Edsel;
Dean Marquis, who was with him on
the European peace voyage; William
Livingstone, Detroit banker, and
several secretaries and employees.
A score or more of Detroit citizens
who braved the chilly winds of early
morning and went to the station to
welcome the returning peace leader
were disappointed. Ford didn't put
in an appearance at the depot. Later
it was learned that his private car
had been detached from the train
and towed to point in the western
part of the city, near the Ford home
in Dearborn.
All plans for an official reception
by the city were abandoned.

BAD FEATURES CROPPING OUT

Ever since the shipping bill which
has been fathered by the present ad-
ministration has been urged, there has
been serious objection made to it. 1t
has been recognized as unnecessary.
It has been shown that it would not
accomplish the object sought and it
has been strenuously opposed on the
ground that it would be unfair for
the government to enter into compe-
titions with private interests in the
manner which is proposed, when it
continues to do nothing to relieve the
existing situation and lend encour-
agement to private capital to make
greater OUTLAWS in order to solve the
unusual shipping problem.
Attention is now being directed to
the provision of the bill which men
aces the tugs and lighters These yes
sells under the terms of the measure
would be made common carriers and
subject to the regulations of the COM
mission to be created by this bill,
when as matter Of fact the difficulty
in the way of any such step is such
that even some of the enthusiastic ad-
vocates of the bill agree that it should
not be attempted. and that this fea-
ture should be eliminated.
ms is OF course only one of the
many defects and if it has been pos
sible to uncover these before the bill
has been put through it is highly
probable that there are other detri-
mental provisions which would be
equally unwise and do more harm
that there are expected to do good.
The bill was such as to receive the
defeat that 1t deserved when first pro-
posed and it deserves like treatment
in its present form.

ENCOURAGE THE MILITIA.

There is nothing but commendation
for those employers of labor who are
holding open their Jobs for those who
enlist and in some cases keeping up
their pay for the benefit of their fam
lilies, but If there was more of this
spirit manifested throughout every
year there would not be depleted milf
tia ranks or an inadequate state of
preparedness, as far as these organi-
cations are concerned.
1t is the experience OF the command
ers Of military companies every year
that many are prevented from enlist
inG because of the fact that they
would be unable to get away from
their employment, while those who
are already in the ranks have felt
obliged to get out when their term of
enlistment expired because of the diff
culties which were encountered in get
ting away for the annual tour of duty
In normal times instead of their being
general spirit OF encouragement
manifested towards the militia, and q
recognition Of the protection that
comes from the maintenance of eff
cient military organizations, there is
apt to be the feeling that the young
men cannot be allowed the time of

campment where they get some of the

His suggestion applies to Norwalk and
every other city. Correct use Of the
telephone is an art little understood.
Even ordinary telephone courtesy is
too often neglected and business men
and their employees many times fall
into habits of sheer boorishness and
are guilty of incivilities of which they
would never dream in personal cen
versation. BY all means school pupils,
particularly those studying business
methods, should be taught telephone
etiquette. 1t would also be well to
teach them how to make their tele-

them how to get the most out of it.

The great impression left from con-
tact with the Russian prisoners was
the absence of ali realization of what

must shift for themselves? Such
thoughts seemed not to enter their
