EXTENDS AND UNIFIES ALL
LABOR ACTIVITIES OF U. S.
Representative Keatfng Offers Bill
to Establish a Federal Employ
ment Service.

A bill to establish government en-
ployment service has been introduced
by Senator Robinson and referred to
the labor committee. A board of three
would be named in each state to CO.
operate Practically the same bill was
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Keating of Colorado.
The bill extends and unifes all labor
exchange activities Of the government.
placing them on an independent basis
in the Department of Labor in charge
of a director to be appointed by the
President.
1t also provides an inducement for
improved service by granting financial
aid to state and city employment bu-
reaus cooperating with the national
service.
Comprehensive System Now Lacking
The war. work Of the government, IT
is pointed out, is being seriously ham
pered because a comprehensive system
of labor distribution is lacking in this
country. The service proposed in the
bill is in accord with proposals for the
labor placement on a nationwide scale,
but goes further toward meeting the
situation by providing for unified con-
troll and uniformity of policy, specify
ing clearly the functions of the new
service and giving direct financial in
ducement to states and cities for fit
ting into the governments plan.
The measure, which has the indorse-
ment of the Association for Labor
Legislation and the Association of Pub
lie Employment Officials. has been pre-
pared in cooperation with the De-
partment of Labor and other federal
government bodies.

WATER Power BILL TO Be
URGED UPON CONGRESS
Has Support Of President-Develop.
ment by Company in Utah Saved
Million Tons Of Coal.

Effort to put through Congress a
water-power development bill. which
will be supported by President Wilson,
will be one Of the outstanding fea-
lures Of the legislative activities OF
this session
This bill is now being drafted. The
solicitors offices OF the War Depart
ment. the Department of Agriculture
and the Department of the Interior are
trying to prepare such measure as
will reconcile the differences of opin-
ion between those who are eager for
water-power development and the con-
servationists.
Emphasized in Presidents Message.
The need for water-power develop
ment was empha sized by President
Wilson in his message this week to
Congress. Secretary Lane has pointed
out that two big things that must re-
cefve the early attention of Congress
are water-power development and the
opening up of withdrawn oil lands.
Leaders in Congress are prepared to
carry forward both of these measures
and to make a hard fight, il necessary,
for their passage. just as soon as the
administration gives the word.
Several bills have been introduced in
the Senate for water-power develop
ment on public, lands and navigabIe
streams. Bills relating to water-power
development on public lands have twice
been passed in the House. The diff
Guilty previously has been to get those
urging water-power development and
those urging conservation reconciIed to
any bill.
What the passage of a water-power
development bill would mean is
brought out in forcible figures which
have been collected by the Department
of the Interior. They show with par
ticular emphasis at this time, when the
shortage Of transportation facilities is
forcing the pooling of the railroads of
the country under government opera
tion. and when the shortage of coal has
been SO persistently felt.

Speakers Humor Interjected.

The young Americans irrepressible
humor leavened the narrowing descrip-
tions of trench experiences. He told
how a Scotchman and an 1rishman SIM
ulated shell shock. But he was the
butt of most of his own jokes. There
was the time when "Old Pepper" nick
name for his commanding officer, sent
around a request for volunteers.
"Empey. here's your chance. says l..
he continued. About eighty Tommies
will offer to go. They don't want but
twenty. Here /, with my five feet
even. will look like a valley between
two mountain ranges of men. l could
lust hear old Pepper saying. Step out.
Empey,' and, Men. l want you to look
at this man. an American, who volun-
teered to come over here and see this
war through; now he offers to per-
form most dangerous duty. Empey.
my man, we all admire your courage.
But you are too small. Fall out. There
may be reward for you later"
But Empey miscalculated. Only
twenty volunteered, he among them,
and from that raid only three returned
alive. That was where Empey had his
shoulder shattered by boche bullets,
and the side of his face torn off by
shrapnel That is why he is now in
this country.

Power In Producing Health

Large audiences continue at the Y.

of the lecture by J. C. Elliott Saturday
will be "Power of Relaxation and Rec

J. c. Elliott says in discussing relaxa-
tion:
" Under the high pressure life of the
present civilization, relaxation and rec
reation are the greatest assets in health.
Thousands are driving at the speed mad

out the delicate sewage of the kidneys
by their abnormal food supply and the
sedentary life. and the abandonment of
all exercises. They are burning out the
brain cells and destroying the virrility
Of the brain, and the keenness of the in
tellect. They are wreeking the nerve
force and energy of the body, destroy
ing the muscles, and robbing the intel
leet of its keenness and power, by the
persistent grind of the business and pro-
fessiOnal life. There can be but one re-
suit under the high pressure of the age,
and that is physical, nervous, and intel

and public Fairgrounds for the nation.
The states have followed her example.
and has set aside great public parks for
many OF the various states. These are
good in their line but they are aeces-
sible only TO the few. The masses are
untouched by these public Fairgrounds.
Our cities have recognized the need of
public parks and Fairgrounds. and
through purchase, or through philan-
thrOpy, they have acquired great public
parks and Fairgrounds which have been
made accessible to the masses. Oftimes
they stand as an oasis in the heart of

Public Fairgrounds.
These parks may be worth their mil
lions from a financial standpoint, they
are worth more as health asset to the
city, and must for ever be perpetuated.
Many cities have missed the mark and
have allowed their opportunity to pass
by for acquiring such parks while the
property is cheap. There is one avail
able remedy. Transform the unsightly
vacant lots into parks and Fairgrounds
for the wage Garner, the mother, and
the children. This will beautify your
