messenger came, bearing away
the spirit of our beloved sister,
Mary +. Black. Death who is
no respecter of persons and who
is not stald by breaking hearts
has robbed us of devoted moth.
er, faithful friend, and loyal
P. E. 0. She was a woman of
high ideals, lover of young life
and entered into their joys and
problems with sympathy all
her own. She was loyal and un-
flinching in her friendships and
principles, modest and retiring
in her disposition, and' to those
who we're privileged to know her
best, loving and sympathetic.
She was never too weary to open
her home to us, seldom failed to
attend our meetings. AS Sis

Consider, for instance. the fourth an

A few thoughtful and well-informed peo-
pie are aware that we have now in the
Cabinet a new position. which began with
President Wilson's administration. and of
which William B. Wilson has thus far
been the only incumbent. Secretary Will
sons fourth report deals directly with
the two great subjects OF employment
and mediation in labor disputes. He
deals In a supervisory way with the
Bureau of Immigration and the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Within his depart

der his purview.
Report on Commerce.
Secretary Redfeld's report OF the work
of the Department of Commerce is ar
admirably arranged document. Its last
section is devoted to the Bureau of Navi.
CATION, and we have timely summary
of the American merchant marine, a
comparison with the shipping of other
countries, an account of current ship
building here and abroad, and much else
relating to our commerce by sea. Pre-
ceding that comes the section devoted to
the steamboat inspection service. Their
we find more than thirty pages devoted
to the remarkable scientific exploits OF
the Coast and Geodetic Survey Passing
over the work of the Bureau OF Light
houses, we come to that of fisheries
with a notable range of information on
every phase of fresh-water and salt
water fishes, fur-bearing animals in
Alaska, and other kindred topics. The
Census Bureau and the Bureau of stand.
ards come under Secretary Redheld's
Jurisdiction.
We have perhaps kept our readers
more closely in touch with the work OF
Secretary Houston and the Agricultural
Department than with almost any other
field of Federal administration.
