Keeping Workers Amused

1.-THE greatest problem with war workers Is
keeping them amused says J. II. Conner, who IS
in charge of the welfare work at the United
States Explosives Plant &C" a. Nitro, w. Va. "Fcr
unless the workers are able to find entertainment
they won't work.
cat the present time there are $4,000 workmen
at Nitro and it Is planned to Increase that number
to 100000 But despite the high wages it is diff
cult to keep the $4,000 there. Wages are almos.
unbelievably high. For example: Office boys are
started at SIS month sienographers at slice,
and have the weekly pay envelopes Of
many carpenters with more than 500 inside.
However it is an actual fact that 20 per cent al
the workmen who are transported there at the
expense Of the government disappear route
and more than so per cent of those who arrive DO
not stay more than two or three days.
"You see, Nitro Is a new town about twelve
miles from Charlestown, w. Va. It's in dry Sec
ton of the country with absolutely nothing to at
Z tract workers except high wages. And as soon
the majority of workers bank roll they
depart for pleasanter and wetter climes.
That's why welfare department has been es-
tablished at this plant where million pounds of
powder will be manufactured daily when every
thing Is in operation. 1t found that unless
the men We're amused when they finished their
work they simply wouldn't reman-no matter
what wages were paid.
"Of course we do all the welfare work that IL
being done il, the most modern plants. We hare
various kinds of hospitals free medical attention
and all that sort Of thing We even fill the teeth
of the workmcn free of charge. Houses are be
ing built so that the workmen may bring their
families and there is everything for their crea-
ture comforts, but that isn't enough. The work
men miss the excitement of life in the big cities
they miss the lights. the rush and that feeling
of being in the SWIM so to speak. White they
were merely onlookers they felt that they were
taking part In the days events. When they get
to Nitro they soon become dissatisfied and de-
pressed
"a person who has never worked in place of
this kind cannot appreciate how essential amuse-
ment is to his well being. But must say that we

In the Gottingen street area
the houses are grouped around

NEW YORK, Nov. 27. - Shipping shares monopolized the bulk of spec ulative attention in tOday's stock mar ket, their activity and strength far outstripping all other issues ill which irregular or reactionary tendencies, most often prevailed.
 Announcement that the Washington government had made tentative oIter for the huge tonnage of the Mercan- tile Marine company, thereby halting the negotiations with British inter: ests, resulted in highly spectacular movements.
 Marine preferred made an extreme advance of almost 16 points, forfeit ing One-third of its advantage m the heasy realizing of the last hour, the per cent bonds showed a gross gain of points and the common shares 412 points, with substantial gains in associated issues.
 United States Steel and independ- ent industrials, also leading and sec ondary equipments, reacted l to 5 points. Studebaker and oils reversed their upward course of the previous session, Mexican Petroleum declining almost points.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27-Corn tended downward in price today despite frequent rallies due to pre-holiday evening-up. The market lacked az gressiye support and closed unsettled at B to 2sc net decline, with Decem- Der 1.243l and January 1.25%s to 1.255s Oats finished 5sc off to 1ac up. In provisions the outcome was 4n advance of 10c to $1.
 It was a choppy market throughout the day in corn, but sales on the bulges were too heavy for the de- mand Eastern houses took a con spicuous part in the selling, and it was said that shipping industry from the east was slow. Orders to pur- chase came almost entirely from the shorts. Favorable weather conditions for husking and shelling gave an ad- vantage to the bears, and led to con tinued predictions of larger receipts. Feeders were reported, however. to be after cash grain at interior points. Besides, gossip was current that farmers as a rule showed but little disposition as yet to let go of their holdings. Receipts meanwhile con tinued small, and country offerings light
 Oats followed corn, except that pro posed liberal shipments from here

 Frequently Luke and Wehner went out together, his brother officers have said It was their plan for Weh- ner to fly high. while Luke kept closer to the ground in their search for bal looms and airplanes of the enemy. Luke had a reputation of being able to maneuver his plane at higher rate of speed than any other man in his squadron.

 Born in Phoenix
 Many thrilling stories have been written about this Phoenix boy and all declare they are unable to tell half the real truth of the wonderful ex- ploits of this young man who has brought undying fame to his name and town.
 Frank Luke, jr.. was born in PhOe- nix. He was commissioned before he was q years of age. While in high school he was captain of the football team and was graduated with the class of 1917. In September. 1917. Luke enlisted in the Austin. Texas. school of aeronautics and made such progress that in seven weeks he had finished the course that usually re- quired nine weeks. While there be set the record for assembling a Lewis machine gun while blindfolded

 On March 3 of this year he sailed for France and in France he finished his training first in flying and second in handling of machine guns. From that date until the night he flew away and did not return Luke has made his name a household one in three countries.

the Phoenix high school lie was one or boys of that school.
 After having received his cOmmis- sion as a flyer, and declared compe- tent to drive his machine against the best of the Hun aviators. Luke was sent overseas and attached to the 25th aero squadron. Within six weeks he was a recorded 'ace" and his name was heralded all over France, England and the United States as one of the wonders of the air.
 Luke's specially. that which made him famous, was in the destruction of German observation balloons, an act that required more daring, more skill and better judgment than in attacking Hun airplanes. It required sweeping down near the earth, of slowing his machine so that accurate attack could be made. In this Luke became the most proficient of all in the American army of ayiators.
 These to His Credit
 In the short time of five and one half months after Luke joined the 25th squadron, he had the following to his credit:
 August Is. at Chateau Thierry. air plane
 September F. at Marleuiles. bal loon.
 September If. at Bienville, balloon
 September 15. near Chaumont. bal loon.
 September Is, at Reville, balloon.
 September IT. at ROmagne, balloon.
 September IS, at Laleuyille, balloon.
 September Is, at Laleuville, Halber- stadt plane.
 September IS. at LaleuVille, Fokker plane.
 September IS, at Laleuville, balloon.
 September 19. at Laleuville, Fokker plane.
 September 20. at Cansennoye. bal loon.
 September "A, at Bantheville, Folk ker plane.
 September 2S, balloon.
 September 29. airplane.
 Modest in Bearing
 Luke early in his career on the  western front became a lone airman. He did not care to have a companion with him in his forays on the Hun supply stations and over the enemy lines after the big observation bal loons Often this Phoenix wonder went out after the dusk had settled over the battlefield and did not come back un- til some time the next day. He had settled to the ground wherever he de- cided to spend the night, slept by his machine and was off at the break of day.
 The closest friends of Frank Luke, jr., among those of the 25th aero squadron was It J. Wehner, who came from Everett, Mass. Like Luke, Wehner was modest and unassuming.
