Employment Of Alien Workers.

Large employers of labor have been cautioned
by the government against dismissing aliens for
the reason that it might set up the appearance
OF discrimination and possible division into
classes, course that it is desirable to avoid The
action of the government in dealing with this
delicate question far is notable for its humanity.
We have as people no disposition to work hard
ship on any alien Not all those who are d.
rectly involved In the matter are to be classed
as alien enemies, Many have been careless or
negligent as to naturalization, fact shown by
the great numbers of those eligible to citizenship
securing their final papers since the United States
entered the war. This Is not an essential point
however.
For many years aliens have been employed in
the United States with no thought of their ever
becoming citizens. Thousands Of these still are
within our borders and are working steadily in
the great mills and factories OF the country, in
the mines, on the railroads and elsewhere, doing
just as they have done for long time The
cause Of liberty would in no way be now served
by disturbing them, while the course of produc-
ton, Immediately vital to liberty, would be inter-
fered with seriously
Alien enemies who have been domiced in the
United States for years are in different position
They are subject to internment, if need be, and
already have been placed under certain restric-
tions as to movement, to the end that they may
not be deprived of ordinary freedom and at the
same time be held within CONTROL Some Of these
have lately sought naturalization, that they may
enjoy all the privileges of citizen, but this has
properly been denied them while the war is on.

grander meaning. We will honor this year the
dead of our own wars for freedom, with the
thought in mind that before another year has

boys are soon to march away to join their COM

in the same holy cause for which the soldiers Of
the republic ever and only have made the sacri-
fee. While we are doing this may we not re-
member that countless thousands Of soldiers of
our allies have given their lives for the ideals rep
resented in the cause to which we are devoted?
Are not the soldiers OF Belgium, France, Russia,
Serbia, Great Britain, Canada, Australia-all that
glorious company who have joined to make the
world free or die in the effort entitled to be re-
membered with our own dead? Let us give valor
and good faith full recognition on this Memorial
day, without looking at the uniform or the name

The Motor Truck on the Farm.

One of the possibilities of the development
of the motor truck industry in the United States
lies in the direction Of the farms. The latest cen
sus discloses the fact that have 100000 farms
OF fifty acres or more each of which is capable
of using at least one motor truck to good ad-
vantage. This is not necessarily to supplant the
iorse. but to supplement him. Some things about
he farm can be done so much better by the self
propelled vehicle that it is real economy to use
,ne for the work. Hauling to and from market
$ one ofthese operations; with the coming If good
roads it will be sheer waste OF time and effort for
farmer to transport his goods in either direction
by horse-drawn vehicles. But this question of
the economic application of the truck will be
solved by the farmers themselves, who are fast
learning that their prosperity depends on their
sbty to keep up with the procession. New
Methods shorten processes and time saved Is
money earned; moreover, in these days Of close
calculation time saved is the difference between
profit and loss. The motor truck goes with the
tractor and its uses are unlimited

Getting Back to First principles

Home economy professors are pressing home
their propaganda in most energetic fashion these
days While they all urge the practice OF certain
OF the neglected arts Of feminine occupation they
are not unduly stressng these to the exclusion
of other opportunities for saving For example,
girls are told the value of being able to sew and
to make and mend their own garments neatly,
but are almost at the same time admonished that
the purchase Of tailored coats, waists and skirts
will prove true economy because OF the better
wearing qualities of the goods This is happy
combination Of the desirable and the practical. A
girl who is at work may have spare time sufficient
to produce her. own clothing, and yet find some
opportunity for the recreation that is needful. But
generally speaking, she will serve herself better
by careful purchase Of such clothing as she needs
from the shops, being particular to buy with an
eye to wear as well as to appearance, and then
exercise normal prudence in its use SO as to get
full value from it. No better advice has been
given to any class at the food congress than that
offered the women and girls. They are asked to
get back to first principles and then to connect
these up intelligenty with modern ways, with cor
responding benefit to all

for all. Young men from Venezuela came to
this country for education and took the game
home with them; it's seed fell on fertile soil and
now it is the national game. The humble cit-
zen, who not so many years ago found his amuse-
ment as well as his occupation in trying to keep

lethal missiles promiscuously loosed by the con-
tending factions Of the perpetual revolution, gets
his JOY in listening to the crack Of the home
run or the smack OF the swiftly-driven ball into
the glove of the fielder. The technical language
OF the game is purely American, but what is said
to the umpire is usually couched in unadulterated
venezuelan, tongue unsurpassed for its OBJ
jurgatory potentiality. If we can keep them play

King Corn to the Rescue Again.

: No food shortage, real or imaginary can exist
in this country while we have the corn crop to
fall back upon. Wheat may turn out short Of
requirements, potatoes may disappear from the
table, meat may be served only on special occa-
sions, but always we may have cornbread in any
one of number Of appetizing forms and be
sure Of nutritious as we'll as palatable food A

A total Of nearly 5000 cadets have grad

The largest naval hospital in the United

first established ninety years ago.
The modern torpedoes, such as used by
the submarines, cost from $4,000 to $4,000
each and require several months to build.
So-called torpedo boats were used IN the
American civil war, but the first torpedo
boat of the modern type was built in Nor
way in the early '7os.
The E-s of the British navy, which sank
the German cruiser Hela in Heligoland har-
bor on September 10, 1914, was the first
submarine in history to sink a hostile war
ship without also sinking itself.
More than one hundred years ago Robert
Fulton built a submarine boat, which carried
a crew Of four men. was able to dive quickly
and stay submerged Tor perlOu OIL SIX nours
and could also cruise for many miles on the
surface.
The first victim of submarine navigation,
so far as history records. was an English
mechanic named. Day, who perished while
experimenting with an undersea craft of his
own invention in the harbor Of Plymouth,
England. in 1774.
The first submarine torpedo Of the modern
type. self-propeing and capable Of being
steered with a fair degree Of accuracy, was
invented by Mr.. Whitehead. manager of an
English firm of engine manufacturers, and
tried out in 1866.
The first submarine craft to sink hostile
warship was the Inflated 'Hundley" of the
confederate service. which sank the United
States steamship Housatonic in Charleston
harbor the night of February II. 1864. and
was itself destroyed In the venture.
One of the first to suggest the idea of a
submarine boat was William Bourne. an Eng
lishman, who. in a book published in the
latter part of the sixteenth century. spoke
of the military value Of 4 boat that could
be sailed below the surface Of the water,
with hollow mast to serve As Q ventilator.
