RESTORATION Of LABOR
STANDARDS ON IN EUROPE
Warning Nations Discover That Re-
Taxation Has Failed to Bring
Desired Results.

Restoration of labor standards, which
were relaxed on the beginning Of hos
Titles when mobilization made tho en-
ployment of many women and children
necessary, is taking place in warning
nations Of Europe. according to re-
port made public by the children's
bureau Of the Department Of Labor.
The countries, the report says. have
discovered that the relaxation OF labor
standards failed to bring about the re-
suits desired. and definite steps have
been taken to restore the provisions OF
the labor laws to full force. This was
found essential not only for the con-
servation Of the available workers, but
also to maintain the quantity and quail
ity Of their output.
One Unmistakable Point.
THE point which stands out unmis-
takably from tho foreign experience,
the report continues. sis the general
realization that the labor standards
achieved in times Of peace are none too
the intensity Of output and the general
level Of health which are absolutely
essential to the nations welfare In war
time.
"In practically all countries some
movement for restoring standards is
reported; in England. France and italy
official action has been taken. From
these countries and others come reports
of dissatisfaction of the workers and
testimony Of physicians concerning the
effects Of excessive hours. The greater
efficiency OF a reasonable working day
is mentioned frequently"
England and France have gone even
further than the restoration of old
standards, and are planning new sys-
TENS of continuation schools and addi-
tional opportunities for industrial edu-
cation. Part-time school attendance of
boys and girls now exempt from COM
pulsory attendance laws will be re-
Quired.
Attendance at Schools.
In England 1t is recommended that
the school-leaving age be raised to
fourteen years without exemptions and
that all other young people under
eighteen be enrolled in part-time
classes France proposes to require
part-time attendance of girls under
eighteen and boys under twenty. after
they finish the prescribed number of
years Of full attendance.
There has been no weakening Of la
Dor laws affecting women and children
in Canada or New Zealand. and Mani
toba has reduced tho overtime per-
mitted to women and girls The re-
port adds:

There was a sailor who wrote in to
the soldier guest editor offering to
amuse his hostess on Thanksgiving day
by explaining why the sailors trousers
are made SO large at the bottom
there's reason. He got special in
vitation today from Mrs. a. NJ. Sparrow,
1219n c street northeast. who writes:
May I extend through your paper a
cordial invitation to the Missouri sailor
to spend Thanksgiving at my home i
have son and brother in the United

sailor would receive a hearty welcome.
Dinner will be at 1 o'clock. and I shall

pleasant for him. 1 hope 1 shall not be

Cabaret Dinners Planned.

The volunteer entertainers who have
been furnishing vaudeville entertain

camps are to turn their talents into
series OF cabaret dinners. These will
be at those places where invitations
have been extended for large numbers
of the men in uniform-for example, at
the Interior Department. where the
woman employees are to serve dinner to
100: at the Elks' Club. where there are
to be 125 uniformed guests; at the
Central Union Mission. where the
board will extend hospitality to 100
fighting men: at the Commercial Club
and similar organized hospitality.
All of these activities for the pleasure
