BAD HEALTH IN STEEL MILLS

Washington.-The United States Bu-
reau of Mines, which has in the past
been mainly interested in the reduction
of deaths by accidents among men con-
nected with the mining industries has
broadened its scope to include the health
OF the men, and has just issued report
on health conservation at steel mills
This report contains advice of direct
value to every one of the 10000 600
workers in the United States, and also
to all employers of labor. Director Van
H.. Manning, of the Bureau of Mines.
and Surg. ]. A. Watkins of the Public
Health Service, co-operated on the re-
port.
THE Importance of the prevention of
disease among workers can be realized
from the fact that the average loss of
time due to illness among approximately
3O,OOO,000 workers in the United States,
is nine days a year." SAYS Surg. Wat,
kins. IF medical attention be estimated
at 81 a day, and earnings at SO a dav,
this loss amounts to nearly $ssO,OOO,OOO
annually.
he statement that a man whose
health is below par has a working eff
cheney below par should need no ex-
pai!elioi NSlue. tleIl, IrO1n 1tS ntlman-
itarian aspects, the prevention of condi-
tions productive of ill health, is a plain
business proposition.
"ln the past, it has been customary
for the attending physician of an in
dustrial plant to confne his activities to
the treatment of those injured or taken
acutely ill while at work, and give only
part of his time to these duties. The
physician should be whole-time en-
ploye. His duties should include medi-
cal examination and supervision of the
health of the working force. Employees
Of experience and skill, whose services
are of value, may be living in such un.
hygenic surroundings that their period
Of service is being rapidly cut short.

CITY WILL PAY MORE WAGES

Baltimore Confronted with the ever
increasing demand for labor and the
willingness on the part of private cor
porations to pay higher wages, the city
will increase the wages of all men earn
ing So day to 1925, beginning January
1 of next year. At the last weekly con-
ference of department heads in the
Mayors reception room, the municipal
executive directed the heads of the va
rious departments, employing laborers
to include in their estimate of appro-
priations for next year such an increase.
The city has been sorely hit by the de-
man for labor. In all of the departments
where big public work has been under
way there have been delays because of
the inability to get men.

GREAT SHORTHAND RECORDS

The class in the Williams Shorthand
School that began shorthand the second
week in July were placed in fine positions
the second week in September. They
wrote on examination 100 words min
ute in shorthand and 40 words a minute
on the machine. Finished expert short
hand course in two months. How many
of your friends attending other business
colleges who began in July have even
now finished their textbooks?
AT the end of the usual six to nine
months term in the business colleges
the Williams students have expert
shorthand and have earned three to five
months salary. In other words, Will
lams has new simple shorthand sys-
tenn which enables his students to be-
come better stenographers in EIGHT to
TEN WEEKS, than the students of the
old style systems can possibly attain in
EIGHT to TWELVE MONTHS. The
Williams School owns this new system.
That gives Williams the great advantage
over all the others. 1t has enabled him
to place one private secretary this month
at $1,000 year and another i'll a 5000
year position to start.
Williams graduates write as fast as
business man can dictate and naturally
the demand is three times the supply
Your investigation will probably be q
surprise to you as it is to others. The
records made by Williams in teaching
German and Spanish shorthand are sure.
