In which the drafted men travelled:
Some people were made to be soldiers
But the Irish were made to be cops.
Saurkraut was made for the Germans,
Spaghetti was made for the wops.
Fishes were made to drink Water,
Buns were made to drink booze.
Banks were made for money
And money was made for the Jews
Everything was made for something,
Most everything but a miser;
God made Wilson to be president,
But who In hell made the Kaiser?

thirteen Red Cross divisions In the
United States, details Of campaign
were agreed upon. subject to such

the direction OF local chairman,

there will be great zest in the rivalry
of the various chapters to make a
showing at the finish.

THREE: MONTHS
MAKE: MINER
INTELLIGENT AMERICAN LABOR
ER SOON TEVElOPS INTO GOOD
UNDERGROUND WORKER,
METAL OUTPUT INCREASING.

Three months WORK underground
will make a good miner from willing
material backed by average American
intelligence, according to informa-
ton just given out by the Arizona
chapter OF the American Mining Con-
gress. Four months from the same
material makes an above the average
miner III competence.
This is not correspondence school
talk nor yet mining school prog
pectus, but 1t is leaf from the ex-
perience OF mine operators in the
state who reconstructed their work
Ing forces in June, July and August,
to considerable extent from green
men drawn III much part from the
agricultural sections, notably of
Texas. Some Of this green material
has now been In the mines four
months, and a good deal Of it for
three months. Proof Of its rapid
transformation into seasoned mater
ial Is established in the weekly re-
ports recently filed from the mines
and which since the middle Of Octo-
Der have been showing steady IN
crease in efficiency. The two weekly
reports Of the present month have
heen most convincing Of all They
~have thoroughly established that
the mines are rapidly coming into
possession Of as thoroughly capable
forces as they ever enjoyed. The
green men have come from negligible
usefulness at the beginning Of en-
ploymert to more than so per cent
OF maximum efficiency, On the way
they halted around 65 and 70 Der
cent, and from that Jumped quickly
to the present figure The latter Is
pretty close to the average attain~
ment for the bulk OF employees over
q long stretch
The newly made minars promise 70
raise the old average OF maintained
efficiency to above 50 per cent. War
time need Of efficiency III the rrodUc-
ton OF copper for tho army is g factor
III this ambition, the new men rank
ing high In patriotism in the coruet
camps Of the state IN which they sra
a factor, but 1t is not the only cause.
Another that is entitled 10 much
credit is the spirit o2 instruction
which has been behind their rand
advancement IN skill. Mine bosses
and seasoned miners who have had
the green men In hand have had
plenty OF patriotic spirit In their
motives also ard have spared no eR-
forts to get the now men into the
efficiency column.
By reason OF the rapidly gaining
efficiency among green men IL is now
indicated that November will carry
some surprises in point of metal out
