Of the Work.

The "supers" of the moving pictures
to the number of ten thousand have
appealed to the American Federation
of Labor to help them. The days
when in the Legitimate" they could get
several dollars a night for looking the
part have given place to long hours
Of exposure to bumps and thumDs and
thrilling mauling and falling. for a
wage scale seriously reduced, they
maintain, by the exorbitant commits
sions demanded by the agents. The
public is no longer satisfied to let a
dummy fall from a cliff or jump from
a motor car to a train, or stab a man
eating shark, or purloin the cubs Of
she-bear in her den. 1t expects the
"super" himself to be an "injiarub-
Der idjit, blithe and resilient, wheth-
er he is dropped from a house roof or
smOthered under a haymow. He must
be a gluten for punishment, and unite
to the indurated symmetry of mar
Bile faun the lungs of a Ted Meredith
and the muscles of a Howard Berry.
Yet for all this he is to have the pay
of a steyedore or a station porter He
thinks he deserves the wages of a Mex
ican bullfghter, at least. He suffers
from competition. He is a "supernu-
merary.D He gets the wages paid in
callings that put little or no premium
on mentality. Bruises, sprains and
gashes, in a world dripping with gore,
have a lessened market value since
they have become part of the accept
ed order. The trivial wounds Of civil
ians are little noted for the real and
widespread suffering among the sol
diers. The "super" would win at once
as a warrior the sympathy that is de-
MED in his cinematographie trials and
sufferings.

the Southern railway, asked the inter
state commerce commission to super
wise closely the postoffice department
test of the space basis for railway

partment's proposal to substitute the
space basis for the weight system, ask
the commission to direct that mail
handled on space calculations during
the test be weighted also for the sake
of comparison and that the period Of
test be limited.
Under the law the commission final
ly will decide whether the space basiT
is to be made permanent.

YORK FOR LIVERPOOL.
NEUTRALITY BOARD ACTS
Presence of U-Boats Near the AmerI-
can Coast Declared Obnoxious.
U. S. Has Right 30 Consider
Them AS a Nuisance.

New York.-Headed by the $4,000
ton White Star liner Adriatic, with a
$1,000, 900 cargo and 1886 passengers, a
fotilla of nine British merchantmen
with munitions of war slipped out to
sea on the night of Oct 12. The ves-
sells had been at anchor within the
three-miie limit off Sandy Hook.
AS soon as darkness shut out the
shore line the propellers of the Adri-
attic commenced to turn, and she crept
away on her voyage to Liverpool, the
richest prize on the seven seas today.
A squadron of British cruisers sum-
moned by wireless from the West In
dies, Bermuda, the Bahamas and Hall
fax by Admiral Montague Browning
met her. They will act as an escort
for the big liner and the eight freight
ers that followed in her wake through
the danger zone in which Admiral
Browning thinks the U-53 and her
companions may still be waiting.
When-the Adriatic passed the Mar
rows the Cunard steamer Panonia,
WHICH has DCOu Wd1IAuS S4uCC Ouuddy
with her cargo of explosives in Graves
end Bay, left her anchorage and fol
lowed astern of the big liner.
Later in the afternoon the British
steamers East Gate, Upton, Toftwood
and Strathstey, all under charter to
the French Line and loaded to capac-
ity with war munitions, left their an
ehorages and Joined the Adriatic and
Panonia off the Hook. The last two
of the fiotilla; the freighter Ardgor-
reck and the Atlantic transport steam
er Minnehaha, with 400 tons of muni-
tions on board, passed through the
Narrows.
The reasons for the movement OF so
many munition carriers at one time
are said to be the availability at this
time of the cruiser squadron as an es-
cort and the superstition that so many
shippers have about sailing on Friday.
The United States battleship Ne
vada and several torpedo boat destroy.
ers were sighted of the coast, and
their presence was attributed to the
known arrival Of the British and
French cruisers, and the determine
tion of President Wilson that there
shall be no violation of American neu-
trality.

NON-PARTISANS ARE CHOSEN
President Announces His Selections
for the New Advisory Commission.
VIII Serve Without Pay.

Harrisburg Pa.-President Wilson
has announced the appointment of
members of the advisory commission
to be associated with the council Of
national defense created by Congress
at the last session. At the same time

visory commission named by the pres
ident are: Daniel Willard, president Of

ueI Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; DR.. Franklin
H. Martin of Chicago, Howard E. Cot.
fin of Detroit, Bernard Baruch of New
York. DIR. Hollis Godfrey of Philadel-
phia and julius Rosenwald Of Chicago.
The presidents statement follows:
4The council of national defense has
been created because the congress has
realized the country is best prepared
for war when thoroughly prepared for
Ieace. From an economic point of
view. there is a very little difference
between the machinery required for
efficiency and that re-
quired for military purposes In both
cases the whole Industrial mechanism
must be organized in the most effec-
tive way. Upon this conception of the
national welfare the council is organ
lied, in the words of the act, for the
creation of relations which will render
possible in time of need the immedi-
ate concentration and utilization of
the resources of the nation The or
ganization of the council likewise
opens up new and direct channel Of
and cooperation be-
tween business and scientific men and
all departemnts of the government,
and it is hoped that it win, in addition,
become a rallying point for civic
bodies working for the Aational de-
lense."

RAIDS HELD OBNOXIOUS.

Neutrality Board Recommends u
Boats Be Refused U. S. Hospitality.
Washington.-The joint state and
navy neutrality board has submitted
to the State Department its report
and recommendations concerning sub
marine warfare of the American
coast. 1t is understood that the find
ings of the board are unfavorable to
a continuance by Germany of activi-
ties similar to those on Nantucket
lightship October IL, when the U-5S
sank five merchant vessels.
1t was said that the neutrality board
declared such operations in close prox-
unity to American shores constituted
a nuisance which should be abated
and that in that view the United
States should refuse hospitality to all
belligerent war vessels.
The board found, it was stated, that
belligerent operations close to Ameri-
can shores were obnoxious and tha.
the United States had the right to con-
slider them as nuisance. Being asnui-
sance, committed at our DOORS" it
was asserted, such operations would
come within the purview of municipal
regulations.
The board is said to have recon.
nSended that the State Department no
tify the government of The Neither
lands at The HagueA of any change in
this country's regulations affecting
hospitality to belligerent war vessels,
in accordance with convention XIII,
article 27, of The Hague conventions.

sight for the Greek naval officers to
watch for three hours their ships be-

case of resistance being offered. Rus

the cruiser Averoff and battleships
Kilkis and Lemnos, while French tor
pedo boats, ready for action, cruised to,

"The ceremony of ordering the
crews to pack their personal belong

were so proud, had been a touching in

leasing every man who wished to re-
main with his ship and join the allies.

tIeships With Greater Gun
Power.

Washington Navy officials antici.
pate that American battIeships author
lied next year will be armed with IL
16-inch rifles, as against the eight 16
inch guns of the ships for which bids
will be opened Oct. 25. Members Of
the generol board are said to be in IA
vor of radically increasing the size of
the new battleships in order that the
so per cent increase in gun power may
be attained.
To carry - 16-inch rifles it has
been roughly estimated that the ships
would require a displacement of prob
ably $4,000 tons, as agoinst the $4,000
tonnage of the four ships to be laid
down next year. The first of the larg-
er ships will not be laid down, in all
probability, before 1918.

Meat More Heating Than Sugar.

Recent experiments at Bellevue hos
pital, New York, show that $50 calories
of dextrose, or 26o calories of protein,
increase the heat production of the
body u per cent during a period of
three to six hours. In fact, they show
the stimulating effect of protein upon
tissue activity to be three times as
great as that of sugar. These observa-
tions confirm the experience long ago
noted by thinking people that meat is
a heating food. Under the influence
of the stimulating effects of meat the
tissues expend in its digestion more
energy than they receive from it.
