GOVERNMENT RAISES WAGES
More Pay for Arsenal and Navy Yarc
Workers.


Workers.
Washington, Sept. 17.-Completion
of new wage scales for all navy-yards
and arsenals was announced yester-
day by the special Joint war, naval,
labor committee. The revision, which
becomes effective as soon as new
pay rolls can be prepared, is said to
make an average increase in maxi
mum rates OF nearly 10 per cent, and
much greater advances in the scale
for the lowest grades OF skilled labor.
The committee examined local
rates and was guided to a great e&-
tent by the aim TO make the rates as
nearly uniform in all sections of the
country as circumstances would al
low In regard to the new navy
yard scale" says the announcement,
the most important change Is the
reduction OF the number OF rates in
any one trade to three Heretofore
more of the skilled trades have been
graded into five rates, the men in
the lowest rates receiving often little
more than unshlled labor Hereafter
there will be but three rates, the
lowest to be paid not more than Sl.04
per diem less than the iirstclass
men. For instance, If the top rate
for machinists is $i64 a day, the
I third rate must be at least $3.50, in
stead OF as at present in somecases
| as low as $304.
The increases given in the maxi
mum rates viii be found to average
nearly 10 per cent. In some cases thf
recommendation Of the local navy
ward, as in the case OF some trades al
Puget Sound, have been slightly re
duced in view of the abnormal situa
ton in that locality, which is out Of
line with the rest of the nation; the
scale given by the committee shows
nevertheless, an actual larger Ter
centage of increases and higher
maximum OF pay than in any otneI
navy-yard on either coast. In othai
! cases, notably Mare Island and New
York, the increases given are greater
than the recommendations OF the 10
cal authorities.
| The committee has approved th'
recommendations of the commandini
officers at the arsenals. AT certain
of the arsenals in certain trades there
remain appeals on which no decision
has been reached. 1t is the inten
ton OF the committee to visit thu
arsenals in person or to send repre-
: senatives to adjust all outstanding
: questions.

Drinking Fountains.

Drinking fountains are of modern
origin. Among the earliest were those
erected in Liverpool about 1857. The
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain asso-
citation was formed in London in 1850
by Lord John Russell, Mr.. $. Gurney
and Others. In the brave days Of old"
little consideration was had for the
public" One of the most interesting
and encouraging signs Of the times is
found in the fact that such considera-
ton is nowadays in all civilized coun'
tries well nigh omnipotent, causing the
public servants" to look after the
comfort of the master they so long con-
temptuously ignored.--New York Jour
nal.

How to Wash Your Car So as TO Pre-
serve Finish and Luster.

Frank G. Carrie, New York repre-
sentative of a well known car, tells
how to launder an automobile as fol
lows.
Proper washing of the car will do
more to preserve the finish and appear
ance than anything else. 1t is just as
easy to wash the car properly as not.
All the mud should be thoroughly soft
ened by a gentle stream of clear cold
water. which also will wash away all
the dust Then all the grease and oil
spots should be removed with piece
of waste saturated in gasoline The
car should then be rubbed gently with
clean sponge, using an abundance of
clean cold water until all mud is re-
moved, The car should be rubbed drS
with gentle strokes OF the chamois
wringing it out as the water is alb
sorbed.
