Plain Work. Fancy Prices
[From the Philadelphia Ledger.

IErOm the Phfladelpnla Ledger
Men in a Harrisburg factory earn
ing in normal times $14 a week have
raised their pay with bonuses by
$50. $60 500 and in one case $13s be-
cause of the abnormal initiation of LIsi-
ness due to the wartime demand for
their product. Young men at college
in the neighborhood of the Bethle-
hem Steel Works have thrown up the
course to get IS to $40 per diem at
lathe and forge and furnace instead
of continuing experimental research in
the laboratory. "Why pay out money
when you might be earning it?" is their
philosophy. Farm laborers are almost
impossible to secure because of the
fancy prices offered in the munition
factories The bread line has dwlndled
to nearly nothing. He must be poor
stick, indeed, who cannot find work of
some kind at some price. But let the
eXultant and aff1uent artisan not al
low himself to be drunk with sight of
power" in his new house and his fine
raiment, or as he boards the trolley
car and notes the air of exclusiveness
and refinement that pervades even that
plebeian vehicle when he decides not
to use his motorcar. The years of
plenty cannot last forever. Even from
the ant and the squirrel one may learn
the wisdom of storage against a pos
sible day of adversity. England be-
fore the war, when it was simply i'm
possible that the Germans could menace
her insular and imperial supremacy,
dwelt in the FOOLS paradise of those
Americans who can see nothing ahead
to threaten their money or their lives.

TN Montclair you can send your cook
to the Board of Health for phys
ical examination, and competent
physicians will certify whether or not
she ought to be handling your food.
Montclair has taken the final step in
sterilizing the dinner table. The whole
nation is protected by the Pure Food
law. That applies to the factory. A
rood many cities inspect people who
handle community milk and similar
easily contaminated products. That
applies to the retailer. 1t remained
for Montclair to step into the kitchen.
Note that in Montclair the ordinance
does not say that you must have your
cook examined. Montclair does not
go quite so far as yet. AS a result,
the Board of Health has not been
over-run with servants applying for
certificates, indicating that the respect
which the mistress of the kitchen in
spires in her employers is no less here
than elsewhere. The new plan, how
ever has only been In operation for a
short time, and indications are that its
effects will be more widespread in the
future than they have been up to now.
Any housewife will testify that it is
delicate matter to approach a cook
that you have been employing for
years and order her to apply at the
town hall for a searching physical eX-
animation and return with a certifi-
cate showing that there is nothing the
matter with her. The plan, however,
is intended to apply TO two special
classes of cases rather than to cooks
and nursemaids in general. These
two classes are the new servant and
the suspected servant.
Even in Montclair, people have been
known to lose their servants. In
such instances, the usual practice is to
Newark or New York to select new
ones. When woman employs a SER
want through such a source, she usual
ly knows very little about the new ac-
QUESTION, and it is a considerable sat
isfaction to be able to get expert tes-
timony at least to the fact that the girl
is healthy. Moreover, it is a great
deal easier to explain to a new servant
when you are hiring her that she will
have to be examined as part of the
contract, than to make a similar prop
osition to one who has been managing
your kitchen for years.
The system is even more welcome
as applied to suspected cases. In
stances are common where a cook OIL
nursegirl is apparently ailing and yet
1t is impossible to find out the exact
trouble. Sometimes 1t is some simple
and comparatively harmless ailment
that the girl is afraid to divulge
through ignorance. In other cases
she may be suffering from some really
dangerous disease which she keeps
concealed through fear of losing her
position.
A case of the latter kind occurred
here recently, and was partly instru-
mental in having the new ordinance
passed. 1t was that of family maid
who had the care OF small children
She was obviously sick, and consult
ed physician frequently, but her mis-
tress was unable to rind out the trou-
BILE. The girl put her off with vague
and evasive answers, while the ply

Good Manners Help

4 merchant who returned from
England just before the war broke out
has been voluble ever since on the
manner of the children he happened
to meet abroad. Apparently American
parents and schools do not lay on
good manners the emphasis that they
receive abroad. Yet good manners,
like the gold at the foundation of all
money, are current the world over.

"Give boy dress and accomplish

Just when the juniors at CentrsG
high school thought the class confer
ton between their class and the senior
had come to an end. those seniors the
other night surprised their under
classmates by decorating the school
mouse on exterior and interior with
their colors. A large banner of blue
and gold was very securely placed on
the top of the building and in every
room In the building paint was placed
In a conspicuous place.
Early as usual the janitor came to
the school to assume his daily duties
and saved the juniors the trouble of
exercising their plans in removing the
colors.. The tanitor, after some time
searching for pruning hook, mounted
a ladder to the top of the building and
with the long hook clipped the colors
from prominence. The paint on theI
floors was removed with coal oil.
The sudden rise of the waters of the
Susquehanna caught a lot of boat own
ers mapping, especially in the lower
end of the city. and had it not been for
the fact that many had moored their
boats to the iron rings placed in the
river front steps for the purpose
many a boat would have slipped out
to the port of missing ships. Under
ordinary circumstances sudden rise
OF water and the swiftness of the cur
rent would cause anchor stones to roll
at the tugging of the boat. Not so
with the iron braces in the concrete
wall. "Hold?" grinned a waterman
yesterday as he watched his boat
swinging securely off the wall. well,

pull out chunk O. these steps!"
When Detectives Shuler and Speese
were notified by Chief of Police Zeil
that woman was wanted by South
Bethlehem authorities on a charge of
larceny as bailee and that she would
arrive in the city with two children
en- route to Youngstown, Ohio, they
were armed with all the facts needed,
they believed. The woman, however
had three children, and another one
who was with her had five. The officers
caused quite a sensation as they
marched out Market street to police
headquarters with the two families
At the station the youngsters turned

The Quakers' Objection
[springfield Republican,


The New York Quakers who say
that they will refuse to permit their
children to receive military drill will
incur, it appears, only the penalty of
having to send their children to their
own private schools and lose for those
schools the right of recognition for
their diplomas by the State Board of
Regents. This would be very moder-
ate martyrdom, and the Friends as
a body are probably better equipped
to meet it than are many other equally
conscientious objectors to New York's
rigid law.

I DON'T DANCE
by Wing DInger

Last Saturday P. NJ I went
Out on the course to play,
But ere I started long there came
A thunderstorm that way.
1t rained an hour. soaked the course
And robbed me of my fun
I wandered back to town again
With heart that weighed a ton.
I know we've got to have some rain,
And that's all right but gee,
Out of the many hours each week
II seems so strange to me
That it must pick out those three hours
In which have a chance
To play some golf-why can't It rain
Some night and spoil a dance?

srEEIroN MOVES FoRwARp

n PROMINENT of a Park and
IA Fairgrounds Commission for
Steelton is just one more step
the busy industrial town has taken
toward giving its people a government
of which they may be proud.
Perhaps there is no branch of a
municipalities government in which so
much pains should be taken to keep
it out of partisan politics as its parks
and Fairgrounds.
In appointing men of the type Sc
lected by President ]. ". w. Reynders
to places on the borough's first Park
and Fairgrounds Commission it is
plainly indicated that there shall be
no politics in Steeltons conduct of her
recreation facilities.
Charles S. Davis, principal of the
high school; Robert M. Rutherford,
president of the Steelton National
Bank and Trust Company; Ross M
Frey, John B. Malehorn and H. Rus
sell Rupp, clean-cut citizens who have
never been identified with partisan
politics. are to be the men who will
direct the big project of establishing a
system of Fairgrounds. 1t would be
hard, indeed, to find five men better
equipped to carry out such a big
undertaking.
The Telegraph can only reflect the
views of a majority of Steeton's citi-
zens when it says that President Reyn-
ders did a real service to the borough
when he showed such care and fore
sight in choosing men of such high
type to handle the borough's recreation
facilities. 1t can now be hoped that
citizens of the borough will rally to
the support of the new park board and
lend every aid in the difficult task of
supplying adequate recreation facili-
ties for the boroughs youth.

A Caution 10 Both Sides.

Everyone must admit that the labor situa-
ton In Omaha Is far from reassuring. Al
though the difficulties so far encountered are
not particularly serious, they are sufficiently
80 to call for an appeal for caution and sober
thought IN order that they may not become
more serious or spread to other occupations
than those that have been already involved.
II Is particularly important that the contest
II 80 II may BIO termed, between employer and
employees be kept free from disorder and
turbulence through resort TO Violence. Every
one who has witnessed labor conflicts knows
what the temptations besetting idle men are
and how great the proyocation seems when a
payday or two is missed. But the Just cause
OF labor IL never forwarded by lawless reprisals,
which invariably ALLEVIATE public sympathy.
Employers, whose men are on a strike,
should also know and observe the bounds they
cannot oycrstep without needlessly inviting
trouble.
Both sides should above all remember that.
In the long run, they must get together on sc-
ceptable terms and work together for their
mutual benefit.
