The lower head in the accompany

of .'oursine," which is an almost exact
imitation Of the quaint hats worn by
the drivers of stage coaches in olden
times. This may be said to be the
most popular shape of the present
season and it is exceedingly becoming
to pretty faces, writes Idalia de Vii

Color of Coats.

The world that is tired of colored
coat suits and suspicious of colored
topcoats takes to the dried peat and
heather colors because they fit into
the landscape of other costumes.
They're not rebellious. They do not
shrek at gown or a hat. They melt
into the color scheme given by the 9TH
er parts of the costume and, therefore.
prove delight instead of burden to
the woman.

of Great Britain, France, Canada, and
other countries in dealing with labor
in the production of the largest guam

reprint of eight memoranda published
by the British health of munitions

that hours should not exceed fifty
six per week for men engaged in very
heavy labor, or sixty for men engaged

own studies of hours of labor, em-

the character of the work performed.

WOMEN TO RECEIVE MEMS PAY.
Those Employed in the Industries Dur

Equal pay for equal work in the
case of women employed in the places
of men drafted for military duty, is
commended in the letters received by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National American Suffrage
association, in reply to her circular
appeal to the chamber of commerce of
500 cities.
Unqualified pledges of support or
cordial promises of careful considera-

Mrs. Cats appeal to conserve the
woman power of the nation has met
with such widespread approval that
the national association feels confident
that only in cases of necessity will
hours of labor be increased, that prop
er standards of health and well-being
for women workers will be maintained,
and that their wages will not be re-
duced below the wages of men pre-
Iviously employed.

cheney is, other things being equal,
he way TO improve output" The med
ical examination Of all workers before
employment is recommended, and it
is suggested that factories should pro-
vide proper sanitary facilities, safe
guard machinery, make arrangements
for adequate medical and nurse
schemes, etc. The value of first aid
is emphasized.
The report on special industrial
diseases gives the causes, methods of
prevention, and treatment for the
principal industrial diseases which
have been found to affect munition
workers. Particular attention is di-
rected TO the importance of adequate
lighting and ventilation which are ab-
solutely essential for the maintenance
Of health and comfort and therefore,
the efficiency and capacity Of the work
ers. Special measures TO prevent un-
due strain upon eyesight and to re
duce the liability Of accidents 20 q
minimum are recommended.
In addition 10 "A presentation Of

Of 1915. and the amendment thereto
Of 1916, the rules for constituting and

count Of compulsory arbitration in the
munitions industry in France.
The committee calls attention TO
the added danger Of industrial acci-
dents: Moreover at the present time,
the introduction Of new labor. and of
employees unaccustomcd TO the pro
cesses concerned, particularly in con-
junction with the need for speed and
pressure, overtime, and night work

cvitably lead TO greater risk of acci-
dent"
This corresponds exactly with
American experience as stated in a
safety bulletin on the effect Of the
war on Industrial accidents. issued
by the Utica Mutual Compensation In
surance Corporation.
The war has caused indirectly an
enormous increase in the number. Sc
verify and cost Of industrial accidents,
especially during the year 1916.
The principal reasons for this
large increase Of industrial accidents
are as follows:
al. Employment Of incompetent,
unskilled and inefficient labor
-. Increased pressure for larger
output
"3. Disregard and non-enforcement
of safety rules and regulations.
During the past few months, the
accident rate has been somewhat re
duced. because employees have become
more accustomed TO their work How
over, many of our industrial workers
will now enlist to fight for our coun-
try, and the services of many skilled
workmcn will be placed at the dis
posal of the war department. To fill
their places. new employees will have
to be hired. who are unfamiliar with
their Jobs. In fact, women Will prob
men who are called for service. With
these changed conditions there will be
even greater necessity for safety

there should be no ground for the

How the committee and its aims are

THE AMERICAN EAGLE

An emblem of Freedom naughty and high,
Is Americas eagle, that king of the sky!
He the bright the gay places of Garth
BY the mountain and torrent he springs into birth
There rockd by the wild wind, baptized in the foam,
He's guarded and cherishd, and there is his home!
When shadow steals back DER the empires of kings,
Deep terror, deep heart-shaking terror, it brings.
When wicked oppression is armed for the weak,
Then ruthless his pinion, then echoes his shrek;
His flames with vengeance he sweeps his
And his talons bathed in the blood of his prey.
o, that eagle of Freedom When cloud upon cloud
Syvathed the sky native land with shroud;
When lghnings CLEANED ercely and thunderbos rung,
How proud to the tempest those pinions were flung!
Tho the wild blast of battle swept fierce thru the
With darkness and dread. still the eagle there!
Unquailing, still speeding, his swift flight
Till the rainbow of Peace crownd the victory won.
Now the dread cloud lowers DER again
And threatens land with its death dealing
That eagle of Freedom prepares for the blow
And defiance shrieks out to our arrogant foe
He spreads his broad pinons and arches his neck;
He will that proud foe blood dripping wreck
Or open his eyes his duty's full rays
And show Lberty's beauty to his raptur d gaze.
His prey is Autocracy his missions to break
All chains forged by despots of men slaves to make.
He revels in lifting mankind into power
And tearing from Tyranny its usurped dover.
O. that eagle of Freedom! Age dms not his eye!
He has earths mortality spring. bloom and die!
He has the nations flourish and fall!
He mocks at times changes, he riunphs DER all!
He has seen with wild forests o'erspread;
He it with sunshine and Joy its head;
his presence will bless this his chosen cline,
Till the archangers fiat is set upon time.

ST. PAUL, MINI, May 7.-St. Paul
Cigarmakers Union No 9S, in its his
tory and general trend, furnishes
striking illustration of the real vital
ity and effectiveness of the principles
of trade unionism. This union has en-
countered many difficulties in the wears
of its existence and its members have
been compelled TO undergo numerous
periods of privation and hardship.
But, in spite of every obstacle and all
dlScouraging conditions, the members
have held fast TO their faith and the
union has not only preserved its or
ganization but has made steady and
substantial progress.
Some weeks ago it submitted to n
referendum vote of its members n
revised bin of prices, and the vote ap-
proving 1t was finally received and
acted on at the meeting of the union
held on Thursday night, April 26
Then committee was appointed to
lay the revised bill before the union
cigar manufacturers in the city and
try to have il accepted by them. II
is pleasing to note that the commit
tee met with no opposition to its re-
quest, every union employer of cigar
makers agreeing to the revised prices
readily and cheerfully, the whole ne
gotiation being harmonious and salts
factory all around. The revised bill
of prices provides for an increase in
pay of 81 thousand for making ci-
gars all down the line and became
effective last Tuesday. May /.
All the members of the union are
now employed at the new prices. and
the prospects for greater prosperity
for them and their union are bright
and give promise of better conditions
than they have had for long time.
with the additional indication that the
present state of harmony and advance
ment will be enduring and productive
of still greater good for both employ
ers and workers.
