Patriotic Appeals a Factor.

Earnest appeals by Secretary Lane
and the other mediators to the patriot
ism of the railroad managers are be-
lieved to have been an important fac
tor in bringing about a settlement. The
critical situation in which the country
finds itself because of the sinking OF
American ships by German subma-
rines was impressed upon them, and
they were told that if strike were
permitted at this time it would be a
national calamity. Similar pressure
was brought to bear upon the broth
erhood chiefs.

MANAGERS, SEEING NATION FAC

AGREE TO s-HOUR DAY.
VICTORY FOR BROTHtRHOODS
Mediators Are Authorized to Make a
Full Settlement With Train Men
After Hope for Peace Had
Grown DINNER.

New York, March 19.-The confer
ence committee of railroad managers
early this morning authorized Presi-
dent Wilson's mediators to make what
ever arrangements were necessary
with the railroad brotherhoods to call
off the threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this au-
thorization was made, signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers COM
mittee, was as follows:
In the national crisis precipitated
by events of which we heard Sunday
afternoon, the national conference
committee of railroads join with you
in the conviction that neither at home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficient operation of the
railroads of the country will be ham
pered or impaired.
Therefore, you are authorized to as
sure the nation there will be no strike,
and as a basis for such assurance we
hereby authorize the committee of the
council of national defense to grant to
the employees who are about to strike
whatever adjustment your committee
deems necessary to guarantee the un-
interrupted and efficient operation of
the railroads as an Indispensable arm
of national defense"

Victory for Brotherhoods.

The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have won
an important victory, although it does
not bring them all their original de-
mands. By the agreement, it is as
sumed they will be awarded pro rata
time for overtime on the basic eight
hour day which they have been as
sured.
The original demands called for
time and a half for overtime on the
same basic day,
The men will get their present pay
for 10 hours for eight hours work
under the agreement. These conces'
sions on the part of the managers
are virtually what the employees con
tended they would gain under the
Adamson law if it were declared con
stitutional

Eleventh Hour Concession.

The announcement of the managers
that they had yielded apparently came
as a surprise to the brotherhood chiefs,
for they were in bed when summoned
again to the conference room. Earlier
in the evening there had been a dis
tinctly pessimistic telling as to the
prospect for averting a strike.

Various Types of Home

There are four types Of canning out fits suitable for home use, according to the home economics specialists of the New York College of Agriculture, who are urging every housewife to pre- serve some of summers bounty against winters wants.
 A homemade hot water Canner may be made out of a tin bucket or a clothes boiler or any utensil deep enough to allow cans to be covered by an inch of boiling water A rack or false bottom is necessary to keep cans off the bottom of the Container and in- sure free circulation of the boiling Wa ter A tight fitting cover will help re- tain heat and save fuel. The commer- cial hot water outfits will hold hlore cans at one time. and they have per forated racks with handles, which are q help ill handling the cans. Some commercial canners have a fire box, so they can he used oat of doors.
 Steam cookers are light. easily han dled and it the stove better than the boiler types. They can be used for ordinary cooking as well as for can ming.
 Water seal canning outfits are so made that a so called seal of water holds tie cover down and creates a slcht steam pressure in the space above the cans This pressure in- crcaSeS the temperature somewhat above that of boiling water.
 The steam pressure Canners are de signed 70 increase temperatures much above tue boiling point by holding the cans under considerable pressure.

SOUTHERN SITES
 BEST FOR CAMPS
Mild Winters EnabIO Men to Work Out of Doors Continually. y.
HAVE PLENTY OF FRESH AIR

Much of the Time Not Taken Up by
 Training Will Be Devoted to ReorOa-
 tion-This Is of Great Value to the
 Men In Attaining Mental AlsrtnSSs.
 Long Autumn Coming Soon.
 Major General Gorgus, surgeon gen. eraI of the army. met the criticism Of those who are opposed to the establish ment of training camps Tn the south by announcing thnt the best sites in the country had been picked and that no man qualified to judge of their value from d military standpoint would think of using northern localities for such purposes.
 "I am strongly in favor of sites in the south for training camps because of health advantages to the men, Major General Gorgas said.
 "The outstanding fact is that men trained in the south will have weather conditions permitting their being out of doors practically all of every day." he couEuded. Tn certain regions, wisely cSoscn for our national guard camps, rain is scarce in the winter, when the heaviest training will be done, and at night soldiers there will sleep in quarters where there Is free air circulation.
 PI,p+v oF Fresh Air.
 Plenty of fresh air all the time means that any germs which may be about arc kept on the move and have slight chance to Increase. Fresh air and health are synonymous in mili- tary as well as in civil life.
 "There Is. Of course, a military ad- vantage involved beyond the funda- mental gain of having soldiers phys ically fit for their work. It is obvious that men in training should have the maximum hours per day and days per week for drill and exercise.
 And there is no doubt that a soldier gets more out of a given time devoted to training under good weather condi- lions than from the same amount of training in surroundings of physical discomfort induced by severe cold, for such discomfort tends to distract the soldiers attention from his work.
 Much of the time that Is not taken up by drill and other definite mill tary work will be available for recre- atioY. The commission on training camp activities has undertaken to pro vide q coach and director of recrea- tional work for each camp. Outdoor games. field sports, etc, should be an important cont.i' ution to the ideal Of physical perfection set for the sol diers.
 "Outdoor games and contests also have a value for the men In attaining the mental aIertneSs which is quite in opposition to the sluggishness that Is apt to result from the indoor life ne- cessitated by hUrsher climate.
 "The few weeks of summer weather which soldiers in the south may en- counter will be more than offset by the long autumn and mild winter" ."
