MACHTNTSTS ARE
GIVEN WARNINGS
Commissioner Jackson Shows
How the Accident Rate May
Be Kept Down in State

PENNSYLVANIA machinists can mate
rally cut down the million dollars
lost in wages through accidents last
year if they will observe some simple
rules, declared DIR. John Price jack
son, State Commissioner of Labor and
Industry, in commenting to-day on
warnings being issued to machinists,
which trade is being "speeded up
because of war orders. The Depart
ment has been issuing from time to
time warnings for different trades,
having covered printing, milling,
numbering, paint and lead making and
the like.
Compressed air apparatus is use
full, but dangerous, and three deaths
resulted in Pennsylvania from men
'fooling' with air hose" said the COM
missioner. mo one should be allow
ed to point at or touch another en-
pIoye with it. Defective wrenches
and torn and ragged clothing have
been found to be causes of accidents
and one reprehensible thing is allow
ing tools or materials to lie on floors
or passageways. Tripping over such
things has resulted in many serious
accidents.
The warning to machinists is based
upon over a years observation in ma
chine shops, many of which are run
ming day and night throughout. the
State and most of which have taken
on many new hands in the last six
months. The results of the observa-
tions were checked up with studies
made of reports of accidents from

DEFENSE MEASURE
WILL BE PUSHED
Not More Than Two Weeks to
Whip Bill Into
Shape

Washington, ID. c., Feb. IA. =
Real progress is expected to be made
in Congress this week on national de-
fense legislation. The Military Affairs
Committees of the Senate and House
have closed their public hearings and
will get down to work on drafting a
bill. Just when the bill will be intro
duced is uncertain though both Sena-
tor Chamberlain and Chairman Hay,
of the two committees confidently be-
lieve that with the almost unanimous
sentiment for adequate defense not
more than ten days or two weeks at
the most will be required to whip the
proposed legislation into shape.
The bills, once introduced, are eX-
pected to pass both branches in record
time. Prior to the resignation of Sec
retary of War Lindley Nj. Garrison,
when there existed much uncertainty
as to what preparedness legislation
would be enacted, the antiprepared
ness element in Congress led by
friends of William j. Bryan threaten
ed to erect barriers that would have
caused trouble to the administration.
Break In Camp of Ants
Following Mr.. Garrisons retirement
there has been a break in the anti
preparedness camp and members of
the type of Warren Worth Bailey, of
Johnstown, Pa, have not been nearly
so active. Mr.. Bailey and his as
sociates say they have not given up
the fight, but are waiting the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Bryan on the stump
to espouse their cause. Mr. Bryan is
scheduled to begin this week a series
of speeches in opposition to President
Wilson on the defense issue.
Saturday saw the first real break in
Il N nj InE Co. I, snI. s.
fined to the Democratic party. Rep
Presentative Quinn, of Mississippi,
changed his mind, and in House
speech announced his conversion to
the cause of preparedness. Previously
he had been strong for the Bryan
peace-at-any-price propaganda.
Despite the changed attitude of
many Democrats there still is lack
of leadership in the House. Repre-
sentative Kitchin, of North Carolina,
the recognized leader Of the majority,
continues to hold aloof and refused to
move his support to the Presidents s
program, If a program exists. Just
now the leadership is distributed
among three or four Democrats, each
one attempting to bring order out of
chaos, but none making much head
way.
No Democratic Leadership
The President and his advisers ap-
preciate the lack of leadership and
realize that the only generalship dis
played to date has come from Rep
resentative Mann, leader of the Re-
publican minority. Speaker Clark the
past week left the presiding officers
chair long enough to make a speech
in an effort to rally the disorganized
Democrats, but got nowhere.
Speaker Clark issued a statement
to-day characterizing as nonsense talk
of ousting Representative Kitchin
from the House majority leadership
because of his opposition to the pre-
paredness program and other adminis-
tration plans. He said he expected to
leave the Speakers chair whenever he
felt it necessary to oppose or support
any measure, but would do so with
out any intent to supplant Represen-
tative Kitchin or any other commit
tee chairman or leader.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Mary would tell his wife of this
mans existence? Jane recalled how
he had warned her not to let Mary
talk freely to her. Why not?
And how had, he dared say the
things he had just said to this wo-
man if she was as decent as she
had always seemed to be? If she
were not a good woman, surely
Augustus Reeves would not have
had her here as his first wife's
companion and helper, then as
housekeeper, and now as the only
woman in the house with his young
wife. He would not have done that!
No-things would never be. the
same again now that her suspicious
were aroused. She would fight fire
with her. Her husband was deceiv-
ing her about something. She would
find out what it was even though
the only way to do this was to de-
ceive him in turn.
Jane" Augustus Reeves called
from downstairs, i've told Mary to
get ready for the next train. Jake
few minutes. You'd better come
down and see about putting din
ner on.
The play was moving on and she
must take her part. Her head was
so clear and her determination so
strong that it hardly seemed as if
there was anything on hand that
might involve her seriously. All
she could feel at the present mo-
ment was that she must know the
truth. 1t could not hurt her she
reflected. Everything in her that
could be hurt had been hurt by
this man to whom she was married.
Now she did not care. Even her
parents misunderstood her; her girl
friends were alienated from her. AS
for love - that was not for her. Once
she had been sure it was.
Jane Feels the Strain
BY the time she had thought as
far as this, she was down in the
kitchen and her husband was eX-
the noon train she would be able to
get back tonight.
The wife was glad that he was
talking to her, for if she listened
to him she might be able to turn
her mind from the subject at which
it had arrived just now. For an in
stant, she had recalled, with a throb
of the heart, the love she had
known. And as that was past and
dead, she wanted to forget it.
Mary had slipped from the kitchen
and upstairs to prepare for her
journey before Jane spoke.
Dinner is ready Augustus" she
SAID then quietly. shall serve
it now?"
She was conscious that her hus-
band regarded her anXiously and
that his manner was conciliatory.
What was he afraid OF that made
him so desirous to please her?
Let me help you" he urged Its
too bad to put this work on you.
But dropping his voice confiden-
TALLY, MARY has a cousin wo-
man that she's helped - and who
isn't the best kind in the world
She's sick and Mary wants to make
sure she's getting good care. So I
just told her I'd give her the fare
to town and back You see, Jane"
with a little deprecatory laugh -
even if I am a bit quick-tempered
at times, I am kind to anyone in
my employ, after ALL"
The wife, listening, could not re-
ply, for she knew that her husband
was speaking and living a false
hood.

Five Experts Give Their
ViewS on Militia Plan

EX-Sccretary of War EIihu Root
An effective army must be built up
on the principle of national control.
This can never be attained by develop
ing forty-eight different bodies under
officers appointed by forty-eigh diff
ferent Governors, and up to the time
of war. under the direction of forty
eight different commanders in chief.
Brig. Gen. a. Il. Mills, Chief of the
Division of Military Affairs. on the de-
fects of the National Guard.-A GER
tain degree of inefficiency in meth
ods of administration and training
lack of uniform and efficient standard
of physical examination; low attend
ance at assemblies for drill instruc-
ton; lack of cooperation between the
States; lack of uniformity in the
military codes of the several States,
no two of which are alike, and lack of
care of Federal property.
Major-Gcn. Leonard Wood. - The
militia has done all men and officers
can do under a rotten system. /. am
not criticising them at all. The militia
has 10000 officers and men enrolled,
but when | say they can turn out co.
900 men in fairly good condition, /
think / have stated the limit. You
might turn out more, but they would
be unframed and of little value.
EX-Secretary of War Henry l..
StimsOn. - Under the Federal Con-
stitution, the National Guard is
primarily a State force instead of a
national reserve, and / do not believe
that any effective national citizens
army can be created out of a force
dominated by forty eight sovereign
ties. History and statistics show this
beyond peradventure.
Ex-Sccretary of War Lindley NJ.
Garrison. - Under such a system
(militia) mobilization for war will
again be attended with confusion, de-
lay and embarrassments, and cam
paigns will probably be attended with
disaster.

Usually when the family has tired

desired, why not combine the two in
one and make an "orange-date cake%'
Cream the butter and sugar and stir
in the grated orange-rind, and eggs

juice. Sft the baking powder with
flour, and mix dates with two extra
tablespoonfuls of -four. Add flour mix
ture alternately to butter with orange

Put together with orange filing. If
one of the layers is sprinlSled with
finely candied orange peel before bak-

AS Mary flung her warning at heI
employer he recoiled, then recover
ed himself.
That's another lie!" he exclaim-
ed.
It's not a lie!' Jane spoke now
for the first time. She had a de-
tached feeling as if she were a
part of play and her turn had
come to speak. She has told me
nothing = not a thing except that
she has had bad news, that some
go to this person. But / mean that
she shall tell me, you or she, for
there's something l ought to know,
and that / mean to know
ITS nothing, Jane" Reeves de-
clared with an effort to assume his
you ought to hear. This woman -
I've tried to help her - and this is
the thanks 1 get. What she might
tell you is something that no de-
cent woman would want to know
A smothered exclamation from
Mary drew James glance to the
woman's face. The expression she
saw there shocked and almost fas-
cinated her.
The black eyes were fixed on
Augustus Reeves with an intensity
of hatred like that seen in a wild
beast about to spring at an enemy;
the thin lips were curled back from
as Reeves met this gaze the color
left his leathery cheeks.
Augustus Backs Down
We'll, WELL" he said trying to
speak easily, although his voice
was unsteady, 81 guess there's been
a great deal of fuss about little
matter. Perhaps l was a bit too
a NaVnr
ting her on the shoulder and emit
ting a shaky laugh, well fix it up
all right - Mary and me. I'll talk
TO her = won't I, Mary? - and I'll
try to fix things up some way or
other. If she wants to go away -
why she can = if you don't mind
doing her work, Jane?"
Slowly tn e CLEAN of hatred died
from the black eyes. 1t was as if a
cloth had been passed over the
Indian-like face, wiping from it all
traces of emotion. Silently, Mary
Baird turned from the husband and
wife and went downstairs.
"Ill be down in a moment and
talk about your getting off, Mary
Reeves called after her. eff you
have a friend that's sick, you can
go and see her, of course. You
ought to know anyway that I'd let
YOU"
Jane walked into the front room
and shut the door. She knew that
her husband was puzzled by her de-
meanor. Perhaps she was puzzled
by it herself. The only thing she
was sure of was that there was a
mystery here - mystery that
Augustus was now trying to make
light of. But she had seen him off
his guard, and things would never
be the same again.
She had practised deception late
ly, Jane told herself. Now she was
determined that, if necessary, she
would practice it again to discover
what secret lay back of the scene
