HOW TO SAVE A BILLION A YEAR.
Cooperation Between Wage-Earner and WaGe-Payer VIII Save
 an Enormous Loss.

an Enormous Loss.
 There is an estimated waste of billion dollars annually in industry in the United States, due to labor trou- bles. This billion dollars could better be employed to the advantage of both the man who hires and the man who is hired. Capital can gain no advan- tage by fighting labor, and labor can gain no advantage fighting capital. The result of the battle is always an expensive draw.
 On all sides, however, are to be found evidences that both parties have begun to realize the futility of endless friction.-ImduStriaE Conservation, Neio York

MANY VISITORS
COME TO CALIPATRIA A

That the Calipatria Farm Lands of
the Imperial Valley Farm Lands AS
sociation are attracting more than
local attention is shown in the large
number of out-of-town visitors who
are coming to Calipatria almost every
day.
This last week there were a large
number of people who drove down in
machines, among who mwere several
very prominent real estate men and
capitalists, who had heard of the
building of the new Calipatria rail
road and who came down to see what
progress was being made on these
North End lands.
After driving along the new rail
road and seeing the actual construc'
ton also driving over this enormous
acreage which is tributary to Cali
patria and seeing everywhere lano
either in crop or being prepared fol
crop, they expressed themselves as
being surprised at the tremendous
amount of development work that is
being done and has been done on these
Calipatria Farms.

Harry Bryant, alias "Brownskin," is
to spend sixteen years in San Quen-

another negro, in Imperial, on the
night of December 10, that being the
sentence imposed by Judge Cole this

having recommended mercy at the
hands of the court. Judge Cole re-
minded the defendant that the time
had come to end killings and MAIN
ings in Imperial county and that the
sentence to be imposed should act as
a warning to others who get into
quarrels.
The court told Bryant that there
was not enough provocation and that
reconciliation had be shown accord
ing to the evidence. Bryan claims

ing in Los Angeles, having originally

Dress for the Part

All women employed in shops and fac
tories will be wearing overalls before the
years end, according to the president of
the Garment Manufacturers Association.
Employers favor the change, ten large
factories have already supplied their girl
workers with overalls, and what can few
cld-fashioned prejudices do before such a
national wave Of common sense.
Something, but not much, we predict.
Large, bunny women, of the type that
Peter Paul Rubens loved to paint, whose
figures refuse to be gracefully contained in
any two-legged garment, will write anti
suffrage letters to the newspapers resign
their jobs and die in their skirts rather
than yield. And quite properly, every one
will agree. Time and revolution can effect
sweeping changes, but they cannot get
ahead of the facts. The circumferential
measurements of given figure are facts
not to be lightly altered, as any number of
eaters who did not grow thin can swear
And to expect mere war to bring the
possessors Of such figures to don outra-
geously revelatory and unbecoming gar
ments is to expect far, far too much.
A few generations, however, and things
may be appreciably different. IF women
who work cease to be the exception and be
come the rule, they will end by becoming
the rage. The poor, old-fashionsd fragile
butterfly will be left unhonored and un-
sung, dull stuff, an item of duty to be
pitied and eluded. In such day women
will conceivably dress for their work with
cut thought of consequences. The work
will, in short, be the thing. Men will be
simply other human beings in overalls, or
at any rate, not the one conceivable goal
Of feminine desire, to be courted and pur-
sued at the expense of every consideration
of comfort and sense

Censoring Jofre

The appeal for American troops in
France made by the new French COM
mander in chief, General Petain, serves
to set at rest any misapprehension as to
what Marshal Joffre said in Washington
two weeks ago. The deliberate and sys-
tematic effort TO suppress the words of
the French soldier stands transparency
exposed now that his successor speaks.
In another place on this page The Trib-
Une prints an account of how the censor
ship operated i'm the case of Joffre. No
one reading this statement can mistake
the fact that deliberate effort was made
by the General Staff of our own army to
suppress the words of the French mar
shall because they advocated a policy Of
which the General Staff did not approve.
Let this fact go home TO the American
people: A General Staff, taking advan-
tage Of situation by which a man whose
words the whole country desired TO hear
was at their mercy, sought to prevent
the people of the United States from
knowing what their French visitor said.
Colonel Cosby's part in the episode is in
teresting. 1t is the typical military
method, and it indicates the reason why
military censorship is often brutal and
never intelligent.
The American General Staff is perhaps
to be congratulated for almost accom-
plishing that which the German General
Staff did not achieve, namely, disposing
of the victor of the Marine. SO far it may
be called the nearest achievement Of
that body since the United States went to
war with Germany.
