Boston.-After waiting 12 years,
Harry Gorham Farnum, young busi-
ness man of New York city, has
claimed as his bride Miss Viola Evelyn
Trueman of Boston and thereby hangs
story of a most unusual cOurtShlp,
for the bride was but seventeen years
old when she married, being chubby
child of five years when Farnum first
proposed. At that time he was twenty
two years old and a freshman at Cor
nell university.
The romance that persisted to cul-
mination rarely attained outside OF
story books had it's inception at PrOvi-
dence, R. l., where the Trueman and
Farnum families had homes in close
proximity. The young mans father had
made a fortune in the leather business
and during college vacation periods the
junior Farnum spent the time at home.
There he first noted the little girl
happy with her dolls.
Wrote to Girl Through Mother.
He played with the little girl and
when he returned to college he wrote
her letters, through her mother, re-
counting his adventures and pranks in
college. According to Farnums con-
fession, he was unable to get the baby
countenance out of his mind for min
ute. He attended dances, met the
eligible girls of the college set, but his
mind constantly reverted to the little
tot at home.
Three years after their initial meet
ing, when Viola was nine, her faithful
suitor received his degree at Cornell.
In most college romances that would
have been an opportune time for the
lover to have claimed his bride, but
Viola continued to play with her dolls
and Farnum hastened to New York to
pursue postgraduate course at Co
lumbia university.
Took Journey Through South America.
The college man continued his love-
making and the strange persistency of

Praises Compulsory Work Law.

That the compulsory work law of
Maryland has proved a big success
was the assertion today Of George A.
Malone of Baltimore, director of
the bureau which is attending to
its enforcement. Said Mr.. Malone :
"The compulsory work law has now
been in effect for about two months.
The eastern shore counties have been
visited once by a representative from
this bureau and the counties on the
western shore have been visited at
least twice by representatives from
the Compulsory Work bureau. While
in some of the counties there have not
been any registrations, from reports
received it has been demonstrated
without doubt that the law has fully
justified it's enactment and that idle
ness unquestiOnably has been re-
duced."

Labor Is Beneficial to En-
! pIoyer and Employees.

Concrete illustration of the fact
that as much or more is sometimes ac-
complished when the daily working
period is reduced were given at the
last meeting of the American Associa-
ton for Labor Legislation by Ethel
bert Stewart, Statistician of the fed
leral bureau of labor statistics.
Mr.. Stewart cited flour mills in
Louisville, KY, in which it had been
found that when the "a hours was d.
vided in two shifts Al men were re-
quired to pack the plants output.
When a change was made to three
shifts of eight hours each 45 men
were employed with no change in the
output.
Mr.. Stewart said further: "In con-
nection with my work on paper for
the tariff board, 1 found that one pa
per company had made two wage in
creaseS amounting in all to 2112 per
cent, although during the same time
they changed from a two to a three
shift system, a reduction in hours Of 33
per cent. The labor cost per ton of news
print paper was less in the year the
investigation was made than it had
been ii years before on a 12-hour
basis and at lower wages. The paper
mills out West have not been COM
PEELED to establish the eight-hour day,
but they have done it because there
Is more money in it.
''The argument that reduction of
hours will drive the manufacturer out
Of business makes me think of a con-
versation l heard up in Pennsylvania.
An automobile man was roasting an
agent of the Ford company for paying
S5 a day and reducing the hours to
eight, on the ground that it was a
purely selfish, mOneymaking scheme
The mans answer was: Mr.. Ford has
not patented the S. a day nor the
eight-hour day. If you think you can
make more money that way, go to it.
80 am not prepared to concede that
changing a continuous industry from
twelve-hour to an eight-hour basis is
going to be hardship"

For Night Work in shipbuTIdinq.

Construction Of ships by electric
light, employment of two or three
eight-hour shifts and the addition Of
a committee comprising three produc-
ton engineers are a few Of the things
planned by the shipping board to ex-
pedite production.
Chairman Hurley wired coast ship
ping builders to arrange if possible
for the employment Of two or three
extra shifts. He said that the excel
lent climatic conditions prevailing in
those localities at present should be
made the most of. The plans would
Involve ship construction at night. A
New Jersey plant has started ship con-
struction at night. The government is
to pay for the electricity and increased
equipment.

LABOR NOTES.

A general strike of employees at the
factories of the Minneapolis and On
ItariO Power company, International
Falls, Mimi, was called. The reasons
given by the men are that the hands at
the new Kraft mill have not been ac-
corded the increase in pay granted to
employees at the paper mill, causing
the strike, and that the paper mill men
went out in sympathy with the Kraft
mill men.
A strike of chemists in Petrograd is
on. The strikers themselves desig-
mated 80 of the 250 druggists in the
capital whose stores may remain open
in order to meet the urgent needs of
the population.
Conditions in this country could be
made a great deal better and accidents
lessened to a remarkable extent by a
wider Standardization of safety meas
ures and accident prevention equip
ment.

LITHOGRAPHERS AID

According to information sent
out by the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, the
AmaIgamated LIthographers Of
America are furnishing skilled
craftsmen to the government
whose duty it will be to revise
and print daily field maps, show
Ing troop movements in France.
Soon after the selectiVe draft
act went into effect Charles J.
HohIweek, president of Local
No. 1 of the LIthographers
union, New York, was ap-
preached by army officers, who
sought his assistance in deVising

the union has furnished 800
skilled men for the task, and ex-
poets to offer more.
