Where. Do You Stand2

Someone has divided mankind into four classes-those who consistently do less than is expected of them; those who do what Is expected of them but no more; those who do things without having to be told, and finally, those who have the magnetic power of inspiring others to do things.
 All the failures in this world are recruited from the first class. The second class comprises those who scrape along in some form of drudgery or hackwork. Men of the third class are always in great demand in the fac tory and in the office, but the fourth class represents the highest rung in the ladder of success.
 Tn the world of industry the fourth class is attained by the diligent few who have caught the spirit of their task and are able to impart 1t to the men under them. They are the men who, without being slave drivers. are able to increase the output of an in. dustrial plant - Industrial ConsercG- ton. ". r.

 Under the industrial constitution drawn up matters of wages. hours of service and other vital factors in the company's relations with it's employees are settled by a written contract h. creases in wages are worked out in conference between company officials and the workmen's representatives.
 In all matters of industrial better. ment the employees representatives play an important part They are as signed to joint committees on which they serve with representatives of the company. The names of these com mittees-Safety and Accidents, Sanita ton. Health and Housing. and Recrea tion and Education-give an adequate idea of the broad scope of the compa. ny's interest In its employees. To carry out the schemes endorsed by the committees the company has spent money and effort unstintingly, although it has always avoided any sembance of paternalism.
 Since the inauguration of the plan the company has enlarged its previous programme of providing model homes for its employees who live on company property. The company Is fencing. free of charge. each employees home. 4 series of prizes is given every year for the cultivation of lawns and gardens Many of the workers own their own automobiles.

Will Act Promptly if War
 Comes With Germany.

Every amateur wireless station in she United States will be dismantled by order of the president if war comes, according to authoritative announce nents from Washington. This would he one of the first moves to protect military and naval plans.
 Officials admitted reports of hidden German wireless stations are causing hhem much more anxiety than the seri- GUS matter of bomb plots. Federal search for these stations has been re- doubled not only in the United States, hut in Mexico and Central America.
 After the dismantling of amateur stations would come rigid supervision and censorship of every public plant in continental United States and the insu- lar possessions.
 While the hunt for hidden wireless goes on the government also is redou- bling its efforts to break up German attempts to create suspicion, uneasi- ness and actual revolution in South and Central American countries. Off, cfals still refuse to discuss this phase Of plottings ill detail, but admit that Ran-Amer1canism is being subjected to ele most trying test in years through German intrigues.
 The government Is said to have evi- dence that German agents not only are Somenting i'll feeling against the Unit ad States, but they are also arraying country against country and even at tempting to stir up revolutions inside countries in South and Central America.

ndIIOU oi WdOcTOs
 Elections were held Sunday through out the republic of Mexico for presi- dent, senators and deputies. The cleo tion of Venustieno Carranza, who as first chief of the Constitutionalist revolution has dominated Mexico since the overthrow of the Huerta govern ment, was conceded.
 It was the first national election since that which lodged Francisco Madero in the presidency for his short lived term of office This fact caused much enthu- siasm among the people. There were several disturbances reported in some places, due directly to the electoral campaign. But these were bloodless affrays.
 According to an official statement, the house of representatives will be in- stalled April 15, and it's sessions will begin May 1, when Carranza will as- sume the presidency.

 Will Leave Harbor at Night and Date
 of Departure Will Be Kept a Secret.
 Seamen Threaten to Strike Unless
 They Get 75 Per Cent War Bonus.
 The actual work of arming American merchantmen was begun at New York Monday. Tugs from the navy yard ran alongside an American freighter and put aboard steam beams and plates for the construction of gun platforms.
 Next in line for armament are Amer ican passenger liners.
 Passengers are being booked for the early departure for England of the St Louis. No bookings, however, are be- ing made until applicants for passage exhibit passports, and even then they are only informed of the vessel on which they may take passage. Pros pectiye passengers are requested to leave their addresses so they may be notified by telephone just when the vessel will sail. No change has been made in the tariff for either first, sec ond cabin or third class accommoda- tions.
 Ships to Sail at Night
 At a conference of officials of the navy yard and the steamship company it was practically decided to arrange for the sailing of all passenger vessels at night. Passengers will be told to get aboard before o'clock.
 Agents in New York of the French line have been notified from Washing to that permission had been granted to the French liner Rochambeau to clear with guns mounted fore and aft. The state department rule that the Ro- chambeau, as a passenger carrying vessel plying usual routes, is a peace able merchantmen, entitled to take adequate precautions against illegal at tack.
 This ruling, it was said in shipping circles, will lead to a general policy of arming vessels to the fore. The Ro- chambeau has been regarded as a test ship to ascertain the policy of the Unit ed States government, which had noti- fled the owners of the White Star liner Adriatic when that vessel arrived here soon after the beginning of the war with guns fore and aft, that it would be we'll to dismount the forward guns.
 Sailors Threaten Strike.
 P. A. s. Franklin, president of the International Mermantile Marine, con- ferred with Gustav Braun, secretary of the International Seamen's union. Braun demanded that the men signed to man the St. Louis be paid a war risk bonus of 75 per cent.
 Franklin refused to meet the demand. The line is willing to pay 50 per cent bonus. A mass meeting of seamen has been called, and a strike is threatened.
