Bill thought that he wasn't appre-
ciated. He was perfectly honest about
it. He hadn't the "big head" He did
not imagine that he was a wonderful
genius who would turn the world mp
side down if he were given half a
chance but he did feel that there were
some things in him for which he was
not receiving credit.
Bill was a gang boss IN a big ma
chine shop. He had working with him,
half a dozen men and two apprentices.
One day he wondered If other folks
g f.lt ahort +nerns so'ves as ie did ab ,ut
he very rarelv smoke a word of praise
or of appreciation to anybody in his
gang. And as he continued to TANK
about it. his I:le flew faster, as the
great stood o-t on his forehead, and
when he finished the job in his wise, his
bodv was all ag'ow-pot on'v because
of the physical exercise OF the last
ha,f hour. but because his mind had
been WORKING harder than his body.
With this thought fresh in his mind
he walked over to one of his appren-
tices and said: ".Tim, that's a pretty
neat fit-that patch you put onto that
lever" Jim looked rather sheepish
for moment. Then he murmured
somewhat indistinctly: 81 didn't think
that vou had noticed the job"
"That is all that was said. But at
the close of the day, when they nodded
goodnight" both Bill and Jim felt
that a new tie had bound them closer
together. When the apprentice told of
the occurrence at the supper table that
night, he remarked that Bill was the
most observing" gang-boss in the
shop. Jim's father was machinist in
another department. Next morning he
told the boys on his job that Bill was
one of the finest gang-bosses on his
floor. When the men got together at
lunch time, somebody remarked that
Bill Norton was "all right"
In less than week dozen men had
said the same thing. One night Bill's
wife told him that she had called that
day on Dick Sanders wife, and that

ONE GREAT PHASE
OF HOME DEFENSE
CARE OF DEFECTIVE Chill
DREN AND TRAINING.
Children's Bureau of United States
Labor Department Reports on
Study of Social Conditions of
212 Detectives in Delaware.

"Protect the defective children, pro-
vide for their training and proper care,
and you will lessen the burden of de-
tendency and delinquency" This is
the gist of the advice contained in a
new report on mental detectives issued
by the children's bureau of the United
States department of labor, and ap-
pearing with special timeliness now
that war conditions may tend to make
quent and dependent children.
The report is based on a study of
the social conditions of 212 mental de-
fectives in New Castle County, Della
ware A total of IT'S or more than
four-fifths we're in need of public sup
ervision or institutional care because
of bad home conditions, physical help
lessness, or pronounced anti-social
tendencies, and only twelve of them
were provided for in an institution
adapted to their care.
Institutions Handicapped.
Twenty-six Of the defective children
were in industrial schools for delin-
quent children, and of these the report
says:
quent children are greatly handicapped
by the presence of detectives, since
ert a bad influence over the normal
children. After short period Of resi-.
dence these detectives are returned
to the community without sufficient
supervision"
Other defective children with de-
linquency records were at large in the
community; in all, 90 of the 212 de-
fectives studied were delinquent or i'm
moral or difficult to control.
The report suggests that, while any
program for the care of mental de-
fectives must have as its central fea-
ture suitable institutional provision
offering training or custodial care ac-
cording to the needs of the individual,
other activities are equally essential
Most Humane Way.
1t is pointed out, for example, that
institutional care is not necessary for
all mentally defective children, for,
contrary to the popular impression. it
is found that there are certain types
who safely can remain at home pro-
vided they have the attention and
study which they deserve. However,
special provision should be made for
their safety, care, and education, and
out-patient work of an institution for
the feeble-minded, in cooperation with
schools, social agencies, and families,
is referred to as a new and important
method of providing in the most hu-
name possible way for such children.
The possibilities of industrial train
ing by which certain types of defec-
tives may gradually become in part
self-supporting and the Importance of
providing facilities for mental exam
nation and diagnosis of doubtful cases
are also brought out in the report.

WINNING OTHERS APPRECIATION
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

she had told her that the fellows in
the shop thought whole lot of him.
"Oh, get out" said Bill, "she's only
iollying you" But just the same Bill
felt pretty good about it. He forgot
to growl at the newsboy because he
delivered the paper fifteen minutes
fate.
But the change had really come a
week before-the day that he had
spoken the words of appreciation to
Jim. He had learned very import
ant truth that day. Long ago it had
been expressed by the Master Work
man:
"He that saveth his life shall lose
it; and he that loseth his life-shall
find it."
True, it wasn't heroic service that
Bill had rendered, but in forgetting
himself in his appreciation of others,
he had found the secret of winning
others appreciation.

DONLEY ACQUITTED
OJO MINERS INDIGNANT OVER
OUTCOME OF TRIAL.
Christ Mandas, the Victim, Had Been
Active in Organizing the Coal
Miners of Southern District.
Especial Correspondence.)

OJO, Colo, Oct. 17.-There is much
INDIGNATION here over the acquittal in
trial few days ago of William
Donlev. who shot and killed Christ
Mandas in January last. 1t is charged
that Donley was connected with the
Baldwin-Felts detectives during the
southern Colorado coal strike. Nearly
every local of miners was represented
in the court room during the trial,
and they had hoped to see Donley con-
victed on the charge of murder.
The defendant put up plea of self
defense and thru the craftiness of his
attorney was successful in securing
his freedom.
Christ Mandas stood high among his
fellow miners and had been largelv
instrumental in organizing this DIS
trict. His desire was to see the
southern coal field 100 per cent union
and that all the big coal companies
shorld recognize the union.
Many of the miners here feel that
his life was sacrificed in the cause Of
unionism, he being the only victim
since the strike of 1913-1914.

CONGRESS PASSES COMPENSA-
TION FOR LONGSHOREMEN.
Divided Opinion Of U. s. Supreme
Court Had Deprived These Work
ers of Adequate Protection
Especial to The BuiIetin-)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. O.
Congress has restored to longshore-
men and other workers in and about
vessels at the docks the protection of
state workmen's compensation laws by
the passage of the bill in the house
shortly before final adjournment The
bill passed the senate October 2.
This bill provides an urgently need
ed adjustment which will do much TO
assist in the effective prosecution Of
the war work of the government" is
the comment of Secretary John NJ. An
drews of the American Association for
Labor Legislation. when the divided
opinion of the United States supreme
court in the Jensen case deprived these
workers of the benefits of workmen's
compensation and ascribed their in
jury to maritime liability Jurisdiction.
the men and their families were placed
in a distressing situation. Much suf-
fering resulted when they were thus
denied just and certain accident in
IDENTITIES which they formerly en-
joyed in common with other workers.
The men who load and unload vessels
art at this time peciliarly indis-
pensable to the country and TO the
allies in the successful conduct of
shipping. In preparing the bill upon
official request it was aimed to open
the way for comprehensive applica-
tion of state compensation laws to in
dustrial accidents in marine employ
ment. A large army of workers are
benefited"
Among those interested in the
prompt passage of this bill rs an
emergency measure were Grant Ham
ilton Of the American Federation of
Labor: John Mitchell, chairman of New
York industrial commission: and Com
missioner Royal Meeker of the United
States bureau Of labor statistics.

HARVEST
COLORADO FARMERS RESPOND
TO CALL FOR FOOD SUPPLIES.
Wheat, Hay, Potatoes and Fruit Reach
New High Record, Says October
Government Report

The governments October crop re-
port shows a gain in every crop in
Colorado and points out that Colorado
has been no Stacker as far as her agri-
cultural duty in the war was con-
cerned.
Here is the glad announcement in
detail:
Colorado had wheat crop of H.
$4,000 bushels in 1916. The 1917 es-
innate is 13,5O00O0 bushels. or a gain
over 1916 of 1,615,000 bushels Last
year Colorado produced ,934, 900 tons
of sugar beets; this year the estimate
is 100000 tons or a gain of 100000
tons.
As to potatoes Colorado, in 1916,
raised 100000 bushels; this year it
is estimated the potato crop will be
9.140.000 bushels or a gain of 2,240,-
900 bushels. The Colorado apple crop
shows the highest increase.
In 1916 Colorado produced 735,000
barrels of apples. The estimated pro-
duction this year is 100000 barrels
or a gain of 495,000 barrels. Altho
the hay production for the country at
large is less than it was in 1916 Colo
RADIO shows a gain in hay.
Last year Colorado raised 2,411 900
tone of hay. The 1917 estimate is
2.691 900 tons or a gain of 280, 900
tons. The crops of corn, oats, and bar
lev also show gains in Colorado over
1916.
This report is not only convincing
testimony of Colorado's wonderful ag-
ricultural prosperity, but it also tells
why Colorado farmers can subscribe
most literally for the governments
