Sees Pennsylvania Dry

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 25.--Prediction
that Pennsylvania in the near future
will join the list Of prohibition states
was made by Governor Martin G. Brum-
baugh in n Thanksgiving address to-
day in the Second Presbyterian Church.
Designating a number Of things for
which the people Of Pennsylvania
should be thankful. the Governor said:
II thank God that King Alcohol Is on
the retreat. Isn't il significant that %
q time of worldwide test, when a man
is called upon to do a mans part, II IS
recognized he cannot do il unless King
Alcohol is first banished? There are
now twenty-eight white states m
America, and the outlook is better now
than it has ever been for Pennsyl-
vania 20 become one OF the white
states in the very near future"

TRAINING SKILLED
MECHANICS NEXT
PROGRAM OF j. 5.

Training skilled mechanics and
high-gra helpers is the next step
in national preparation, according to
the department Of interior, which has
sent broadcast, through the bureau
of education, an appeal to trade
schools, manual training high schools,
and all schools with shop-work de-
partments, to prepare to meet the
demands that will come for semi
technical workers in the metal trades
and other industries. President Will
son, Secretary of Commerce Redfield
and other government officials are
also vigorously behind the effort to
enlist vocational schools and classes
everywhere in the establishment Of
this second line of industrial defensa
ut is impossible" says the depart
ments statement, TO forecast defi-
nitely the numbers Of mechanics and
operatives of various kinds that will
be required. Officers of the army,
navy, and civil service commission
are agreed, however, that during the
next few months there will be an
unusual demand for capable foremen,
mechanics, and high grade helpers in
a number Of important occupations.
The following are some the workers
who will be most urgently needed:
Automobile mechanics, bakers, black
smiths. boat builders, chauffeurs,
cooks, craftsmen, electricians, engi-
neers steam, engineers (gas), ma
chinists, motorcycle mechanics, paint
ers, pipefitters, riveters, saddlers,
shipfitters, shipwrights, tent-makers,
textile workers, wheelwrights, Steno-
graphers, typewriters.
1t is pointed out that the demands
for these workers Will come from the
regular enlisted corps of the army and
navy, from the enlisted reserve corps
of the army and navy, from the ELI
gible registers of the civil service
commission, and from private employ
ers whose workers are called into gov
eminent service. After the war there
will also be a continued demand for
similar workers in the reorganization
and rehabilitation of industry.
Maintaining school throughout the
summer months, encouraging stu
dents between 16 and 20 years of age
now enrolled to continue their train
ing, and discouraging premature en-
trance into industry, are urged as ne
cessary. The bureau warns particu-
larly against any relaxation of stand
ards. pointing out that half-baked me-
chanics will in the end inevitably i'm
pair the efficiency Of any branch OF
the service Young persons now en-
rolled in technical courses should be
urged to complete their courses, even
at the cost of some temporary sac
rifice, # necessary. in order that they
may ultimately contribute the maxi
mum Of service when needed" say
bureau Officialsj
Schools are urged also to offer Spe-
cial intensive courses through the
summer months to train mechanics
and machine operatives Of various
types.
There are over 500 special schools
available for service of the kind in
dicated now on the lists of the bu-
reau Of education according to the
statement, and these
schools have been asked to notify
the commissioner Of education at once
as to the plans that will he adopted
for carrying ont the suggestions OF
the government.

PLAN TO insure
Army and Navy
MEN PROGRESSES

Work on the plan OF Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdOO for life and in
demnity insurance to the soldiers
and sailors OF the United States IS
rogresSing The advisory committee Of
- prominent insurance men and othef
committees and the secretary are work
lng out details and a bill will ultimate
y be drafted and presented TO con
gress for action The report of the
various committees and the secre
tarys action furnish tangible WORK.
iRg basis for the legislation
The inspring II our soldiers an |
sailors vii! he only-a new application
Of a well-knOwn principle. Employees
insurance, especially for those engaS
ed in hazardous employment, has lOnG
been recognized as a just and Wis
and profitable TOiiCy in private bus
ness, and HIS been successfully Oper.
atad for years. In fact through the
United States Employees Compensation
Commission civilian employees OF the
government are now insured against
accidents occurring in the course Of
their employment
The wisdom and justice OF a great
government applying the principle to
its citizens who for Their cOuntry'5
sake engage in the eXtra-hazardOuS
employment of war are apparent to
all. Our soldiers and sailors in de-
Tense Of their country are daily
hazarding their lives and safety and
they certainly deserve the same pro-
lection, and their dependents deserve
the same protection, that great bust
ness corporations give their employees
and the United States gives certain Of
its employees.
Secretary McAdoo before the con
ference of insurance men outlined his
views as follows: 1T seems to me
that we ought not, as We send our
men into this war say to them that
they must be dependent upon future
legislation for the granting of com
pensatiOns which have heretofore,
under our policy, taken the form Of
pensions. Our brave men should not
be left in uncertainty or doubt MS to
what is going to be done for them in
case of either death or total or par
tfal disability. A man who goes out
to fight for the United States is en-
titled to know in advance what just
government is going to do for him"
One Of the great uses Of the pro-
ceeds Of the Liberty Loan Bonds is
to protect our fighting men, to supply
them with everything that will make
them powerful, effective and as safe
as may be. That those who meet
with disability in the course of their
duty should be given compensation
and that the dependents of those who
die for their country should be given
compensation is exactly in line witt.
and really a part Of this use of the
proceeds of the Liberty Loan Bonds.
