 urnable to the September term.

THEE AND ME
By E. RICHARD SHIPP

Nineteen Seventeen, Goodbye.
Only yesterday thee and me were
at the christening of Nineteen Sew
enteen.
Now the tolling bells are calling
thee and me to stand beside his war
torn, pain-racked and aged form as
he goes away.
Father Time, swinging his scythe
with ceaseless, untiring energy, draws
nearer and nearer to thee and me.
Yesterday thee and me were chris
tened and those who were at the
christening have gone.
Tomorrow the tolling bells will call
others to stand beside thee and me as
we go.
For the time gone thee and me have
much to regret.
To the time yet to come thee and me
can look with joyful anticipation, firm
in the belief that health, and happi-
ness, and honor and wealth will be
thine and mine if God wills it so.
Hold the door of thy heart, as the
door Of thy house, ever open to a
friend, and increasing years will bring
enduring happiness.
Nineteen Eighteen, Good Morning!

STANDARDIZATION OF DEPARTMENT

Injustice Which May Have Ap-
parent the Past Conduct of Office.

Soon after taking charge of the fac
tory inspection branch Of the state la
Dor department, w. L. Morrissey, la
Dor commissioner, decided that there
was need for standardization of its
work. and as n result n special study
of the safety provisions of the law and
n systematic attempt to eliminate the
most dangerous risks has been made.
Unguarded emery wheels. gear saws,
planers, sprockets. shafting with eN-
posed or protruding set screws, stairs
without guard rails, in fact all exceed
ingly dangerous conditions have re
ceived the special attention of the de-
partment.
A custom that had been in operation
in this department in the past of
furnishing any establishment with n
certificate of inspection by mail upon
the receipt of written notice of a COM
pliance with the orders made to install
certain safety provisions, has been
discontinued to as great an extent as
possible and at present every effort is
being made to recheck the institutions

soldier happens TO spit on the floor OF
a building he must at once stop and
scrub. 1t is truly wonderful the way
in which the health and comfort of
the men are taken care of. and the
best of discipline is maintained. Near
ly every man in camp feels it prlyl-
lege TO be there, and is going to fight
hard for Uncle Sam, not only as
matter of patriotic duty, but to show
appreciation for the splendid treat
ment during the months of training in
camp. For myself l feel as tho /
would always want to be one of Uncle
Sans soldiers were it not for being
with my folks at home. The fine
spirit of the boys in camp is an in
spiration and this is going to tell when
we go over there"
William F. Secord returned to Bat
tie Creek Thursday and expects soon
to be transferred to Philadelphia. Jo-
seph remains in Denver until tonight.
The boys greatly enjoyed the holiday
with their parents, which is perhaps
their last visit home before going to

The state labor bureau has been
guided largely in its work by a uni
versal safety code which tends to
standardize the work and assure the
same class of orders to apply to all in
stitutions in which the risks are the
same.
Some comment has been made by
the employers of labor about the diff
ferences prevailing between the or
ders of the department and the recon-
mendatjons of the compensation in
surance inspectors. The department
realized that these complaints were
just and that the present system not
only results in friction between the
two classes of inspectors but that it
also causes an injustice being done to
these employers. The attitude of the
employers in general in attempting to
safeguard their employees is to be COM
mended and the department has de-

.SECORD SOLDIER
BOYS VISIT HOME
SPEND CHRISTMAS FUR
LOUGH WITH PARENTS.
Speak in Highest Praise of Treatment
Accorded by Uncle Sam to Men in
Training Camps; Plenty of Food
and Warm Clothing

Home on furlough 70 spend the
Christmas holidays, William F. Secord
and Joseph f. Secord, sons of William
f. Secord, 1866 Xavier street. promi-
nent member of the Denver Switch
mems Union, made a welcome call at
The Bulletin office this week, both
emphasizing the good care taken of
American soldiers in the training
camps, and the phenomenal progress
made by the army department in mo-
bilizing men.
William F. Secord is stationed with
the quartermaster's department at
Battle Creek, Mich, and Joseph E.
Secord is in the infantry at Camp
Funston. The former has gained fif-
teen and the latter ten pounds in
weight since going to the training
camps four months ago, and look the
picture of health and vigor, able to
give a good account of themselves on
the field of battle.
When a million young Americans
like the Secord boys go up against the
Hungry Huns next spring the parade
toward the Rhine and on to Berlin can
be announced with assurance.
Treatment of the men in camp is
all that could be desired, and these
sensational newspaper stories about
lack of food, clothing and arms are the
result of a few discontents writing
home disparaging letters, said the
boys.
"In our camps the full complement
of winter clothing has been given out,
including three suits Of woolen under
wear for each man said the boys.
"The food is of the best and in suf-
ficient quantity. Sanitary conditions
