Uncle Harry Tells AbOut
MObilizing The Nations Industries

"what do people mean when they
talk about 'mobilizing the nations
in-'?"
Jimmy stopped suddenly; he wasn't
sure what the word was.
Industries? Is that what you
mean?" asked Uncle Harry.
Yes that's it-mobilizing the an
tion's industries; what do people
mean when they say that?' added
Jimmy
Mobilize means getting all the
soldiers together at different places
and you can't do that with factories
and business" suggested Joe.
But that's just what the news
papers say" said Helen, looking at
Joe And then turning to Uncle
Harry: you tell us; explain to us
just what is meant
THE word mobilize is generally
used about soldiers" said Uncle
Harry "Or rather, I should say that
it was generally used about soldiers
before the European war. But since
1914 the world has learned many

things about warfare and one very
important thing is-that factories,
machine shops, railroads and other
industries not generally associated
with war, play just as big a part in
modern conflicts as men and warships.
There has always been, in every war,
the problem of supplying ammunition,
guns, food and clothing for the SOL
diers. but this problem in past wars
has been insignificant compared with
the present war"
And there are lots Of things like
chemicals that are being used in this
war that were never used in any
other war; aren't there, Uncle Harry?'
asked Joe.
yes, indeed" said Uncle Harry.
an this war the people working in
the factories and on the railroads are
Just as important as the soldiers. And
that brings us back to the word mobil-
ize The dictionary man says mobil-
ize means to make ready for active
service and he also says that the word
is related to the word mobile which
means movable"
Like automobile" said Jimmy
quickly. and then ne laughed. He
thought he had made a good joke
Uncle Harry smiled as he said
Jimmy thinks that's funny, and may
he il is but it is also correct. Mobile
movable; mobilize-making ready
for active service; modifying the ma
TONS industries simply means making
the nations industries ready for &C
tive service-ready to turn out extra
big quantities Of whatever is needed
and move these goods to where they
are, or will be, needed"

Uncle Harry "Of course there has
been more talk about this work dur

eminent officials at Washington and
their representatives throughout the
nation have been making plans along
this line ever since the European war
started There has always been the
possibility that the United States
might get into the conflict, and the
Government officials, having seeh
what was done in the European coun-
tries, have been going quietly along

Tell us about mobilizing a nation, "
said Joe.
Suppose we take Great Britain as
an illustration" said Uncle Harry. 81

facts about Great Britain and these
facts will give you an idea Of what
has been going on in each Of the big
nations. because they have all done
about the same thing.

One of the big eastern structural companies having contract to build travelling crane above cOal-handling plant at a dock, decided to employ surgeon to remain lon the job" The hon0red one was given note which read: "Please hand this to the fore man in charge and tell him that you will look after any of the men who may be injured by falling from the work" The doctor without ado went out to the plant. He looked up at the false work that was being built in preparation for the crane, and it was so high that the men on it looked like Lilliputians.

Remarkable Bread Baking.

Th< Marylebone guardians lent their bak cry for trial. The bread was tt bear chemical tests, and to contain nothing prejudicial to health, but th( process by which it was made was te remain the secret of the two French men, who offered a demonstration o1 their skill. The experiment was de clared at the time to be perfectly sue cessful. Two sacks of -four, under seal, were issued by the workhouse at thorities. One was worked up by Eng fish bakers, and produced 90 loaves weighing 38O pounds; tbe other wal worked up by the French bakers, and yielded 1884 loaves. weighing 52( pounds.

 Already local business houses are delivering their goods and wares by automobile truck to customers many miles from the city, and the great eX- tension of the good roads system will vastly increase the trading radius of the business men.

 Pine Bluff representatives in the general assembly returned home last evening, tired but well satisfied With the results of their labors the past 6o days.
