 working excessive hours rapidly de- .creases his ability; to employ women at prohibited occupations means the physical decline of the race, and to employ children means their mental incapacity for future effectiveness. The unions oppose these abuses as det- rimental to the best interests of soci- ety. And the unions are right.
 During the address of Mir. Bollinger, an attorney of Kingman, he related an anecdote bringing out pleasing simile as follows: An old negro preacher had chosen certain passage of the Bible (describing a woman) as a text for his sermon, which came to the knowledge of some mischevious young fellows, who thereupon pasting two pages together caused the preach CT to read the passage this way: She was (and then reaching the bottom of the page, on turning over the pasted pages) twenty cubits and six cubits high and lined inside and outside with hard wood. Then closing the book the preacher commented:' Brothers and sisters, I've read the Scriptures 40I years and I've never seen that pass

 "Why 1 became an American citi- gen." responded to by T. c. Andrews, a member of Chloride Miners Union, and recently naturalized citizen, was a short address of patriotic sentiment which filled all who heard it with a thrill of pride for native land, and was as follows:
 '"This is no doubt an imposition on the part of some of my worthy friends who met and decided to call on me for speech. However, owing to the im- portance of the occasion and as Q member of the Chloride Miners Union I will make a humble effort to ex- plain to you some reasons of my pride and deep appreciation in being under the protection of that symbol of liber- ty and justice, The American Flag

KEEP BUSINESS GOING"

Our country prosperous can pay our
war costs, as they come, and have
enough left wei to aid our allies.
Our country un%prosperous, with
business hating, money boarded,
through fear of false economy, will be
hard pressed to keep food on the table
and clothing on the back.
keep business going" is a patri-
otto slogan. Keep money in circula-
ton. Keep employment for every
body. Keep wages good. Keep on
making money that we may have
money to spend for wal sacrifices.
The worst thing that could happen
to the world these days would be a
business depression in our United
States.
War in itself does not cause bust
ness depression.
The billions of dollars of money to
be expended in war preparations will
be put into circulation in our own
country, and this in itself will create
new wealth for use in the world strug-
gle for humanity.
The one thing that might halt bust
ness now is an unpatriotic psychologist
cal feeling of panic and a false idea of
patriotic economy.
Patriotic economy means the elm
ination of waste and extravaganza. 1t
lee the conservation of our food
products, our natural wealth, our
health, our energies, our labor, our
very lives. 1t means putting more
efficiency in everything we do so that
each unit of money, energy and intel
lifence may accomplish it's utmost.
Patriotic economy does not mean
the lowering of Americas standard of
living, which would make us less eff
cient physically and mentally, nation
