BOY HAD SPIRIT OF HIS RACE
How the Captains Boy, Maekinnon,
Of the cameronia Helped to
AIiay Panic.

In the report of the torpedoing Of
the Anchor liner Cameronia with
troops in the Mediterranean last sum,
mer. mention was made of the splen-
did conduct of the captains boy, Mack
innon. This youngster was on tho
bridge with the captain when the ship
was struck, and he did much to allay
the excitement by shouting through
the megaphone to the troops, keep
your heads. men. Dinna get excited.
It's a RIGHT. Nae hurry" and so on.
The sight of the small boy with a
megaphone as big as himself advising
the soldiers to keep cool made many
laugh and Quieted many nerves. Tho
boy did many other things, and at the
end the captain found he had dis
obeyed orders and was still on the
bridge when everyone else had left tho
ship. When the captain told him to
"clear out" he said, '1T'l NO go till you
60. sir" The captain then caught him
by the coat and slung him overheard
into the destroyer before jumping him
self. An eyewitness on the destroyer
described seeing the captain and the
boy on the bridge Of the sinking ship.

down in the Tuscania. Probably he

Knitted Braid.

The vogue for knitted trimmings,
such as collars and cuffs, pockets and
belts, has gained such Roadway that
now one comes upon frOck trimmed

Light summer frccks demand that
their wearers shall provide themselves
with summer wraps of some sort, to
be carried along in case of need. The
midsummer frOcks accomplish their
mission by looking pretty and comfort
able when the thermometer registers
high, and as the thermometer often
backslides to the region Of cold, when
1t hangs near the sea or in the noun
tains. the summer wrap must be re-
spOnSible for comfort.
In wraps the choice lies between
capes and coats and garments that
combine the two. For there are many
compromises that are part coat and
part cape. With the vogue for sleeve
less coats there comes about two-in-
one arrangement whereby a cape may
be added to coat and each of them
worn separately.
There are not many Of these but
there are several good combinations

Wars and rumors of wars failed to

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudse" On In.
fortunate Remark Could Not BE
Called Successful.

A number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in a neigh
boris house. Almost unnoticed a little
neighbor girl had entered. At this
point in the discussion she exclaimed:
SWELL. my aunt says she might just
as well buy a Liberty bond as to be
taxedr
Her remark caused a good bit of
comment. One guest, who has a son in
the service. became very indignant.
and exclaimed:
1.-The idea! Buying a bond to es-
cape taxation! That's patriotism for
you THAT makes me tired-anybody
as able as she is to buy bonds. or any,
thing"
With that last remark tho speakea

The little girl. beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to 'fudge" on her remark. ex,

made the remark. but some other WON,

her first remark, and were making il

she finally burst out with:

costs my aunt to live; snd how much

The laugh with which the women
greeted this innocent remark was Suf-

girl running from the room. Truly, her

places" that afternoon.

Dor should be unwisely and unneces-
sarily broken down."
This sentence sounds the keynote
of the industrial policy of the two
great divisions of the United States
army-today placing numberless con-
tracts of fabulous size and value
the ordnance department and the
quartermaster's department.. In "Gen-
eral Orders No. 49," from which this
sentence is quoted, issued not long ago
by the ordnance department and later
adopted by the Quartermaster general,
are set forth in some detail the prin-
ciples of this policy, and in no uncer-
tain words the reason for it's existence.
ut is a fair assumption" it goes on
to say, that for the most part these
safeguards are the m ,chanisms of eff.
ficiency. Industrial history proves that
reasonable hours, fair working condi-
lions, and proper wage scale are es-
sential to high production" Enlight-
ened patriotism, in other words, de-
mands not that the workers shall work
long hours at top speed for the least
possible wages. but that for the sake
of output they shall make steady
reasonable expenditure of strength for
a reasonable length of time under prop
er conditions. We have long heard
these things demanded for the good of
the workers, but now new partner
ship has been formed. Efficiency and
humanity go hand in hand.
From tho tinp of onr optrapoo into
the war. the Importance of conserving
labor standards has been emphasized
and re-emphasized by important Off
Gals in the government. The presi-
dent himself, in welcoming at the
White House the British labor com
mission which visited this country last
spring. said that nothing would be
more deplOrable" than ito set aside

Gals. an impartial tribunal. They
came to the unanimous decision that
long hours and Sunday labor were dis
astrous. not only to the health Of the
men and women, but to the efficiency
of the service and they were mani
nous in condemning long hours. And
we say without hesitation. having re-
gard to that experience, that it is un-
economical. it is unwise and it is bad
management to work men or women
abnormally long hours because it does
not pay in the end"
Proper regulation of hours alone,
however. will not solve the problem.
The ordnance department knows that
it will not help production to limit
hours If the men and women who work
these hours are not secured in the
fundamental necessities of life-if they
are hungry, poorly clothed and inn
properly housed. Therefore, 1t is
urged that standards of wages "al-
ready established in the industry and
in the locality should not be lowered"
that minimum wage rates bear a con-
slant relation to increases in the cost
of living" and that, in the case of re-
placement of men by women, there
should be equal pay for equal work.
In justice to our soldiers at the front,
the standards of the jobs they have
left behind must not be lowered by
these new recruits. who will. in in
creasing numbers, take their places in
the industrial army.
British official estimates state that
since the war began. some l. 400. 600
women have directly replaced men. ana
some 100000 are employed directly on
munitions. The replacement of men
by women has. comparatively, not
been extensive in the United States as
yet. But day by day We hear of new
occupations entered. and old ones ex-
tended. Women are the reserve labor
power of the nation. and, if the war
goes on. will inevitably be called into
| industry in greater and greater num-
| bers. Increasing demands will be made
upon them, unwise sacrifices will with

attempts will be made to break down
