Opinions may differ to the ACCESSIBILITY

that American boys and girls should be men

WILL BE LARGEST BUILDING
Mammoth Structure for Government
Use Is Soon to Be Erected in
South Brooklyn.

What is probably the largest
building in the world, it is an
nounced by construction company
Of New York, will be built in South
Brooklyn for the United States gov
eminent. Contracts have been
signed by the company and the war
department, calling fer the expendi-
ture of approximately $4O,oO0,0oo,
for a new supply base for overseas
transportation, to be erected.
The plans contemplate the cree
ton of a building with 100000
square feet of fireproof floor space
under one roof. The building is to
be approximately 1000 feet square
and from eight to ten stories high,
lighted with one street and three
courts. In addition there are to be
three double-deck steel, concrete and
timber piers 1900 feet long and $50
feet wide, together with ighterage
pier Of 1850 feet by 70 feet, one
story high. About thirteen miles of
railroad track will be installed, and
hundreds of tractors and locomo-
tives will be utilized to serve this
supply base.

SIX-HOUR DAY FOR LABOR
Lord LeverhuIme Believes 1t Would
Be for the Benefit of Both En-.
ployer and Employee.

The six-hour day proposal of the
Socialist party of New York is not
taken very seriously in this country
but Lord Leverhulme's similar plan
for English industry is not so light.
ly treated in Britain.
Lord Leverhulme is interested in
efficiency as well as in the happiness
and health of the workers. He be-
ieves that many industries would
turn out larger product with smaller
expenditure of money if the eight
hour day were abolished in favor Of
the six-hour day.
Many factories use few men in
comparison with the amount Of ma
chinery they require. 1t is most i'm
portant that this machinery should
be kept running at maximum speed
throughout the whole day. Three
shifts of eight hours are much less
Lord Leverhulme holds,
than four six-hour shifts would be.
Then there are businesses where
the office expense and cost Of adj
vertising and sales are high in COM
parison with the shop costs. These,
too, are ripe for the six-hour pro-
gram, the reforming lord believes.
He would not establish the short
er day in industries where the tools
are cheap and unimportant, at least
not at present; and he does not adj
vocate a six-hour day for farming.

MURDERS EDIFY RUSS MIND
Not Without Reason Has That coun.
try Been Known as the Land
Of Assassination.

Eichhorn and Dressler follow
Mirbach into the company OF
Plehve, Stolypin, Rasputin and Car
Nicholas on the further shore of
Russian despotism. "a cup to the
dead already; hurrah for the next
to die !" The habit of assassination
is strong in Russia, according to a
writer in Boston Transcript. Lee
nine and Trotzky have been threat
ened. If the hand of the assassin
should strike them down, too, would
it provoke a reaction in their favor =?
Not if there is any lesson to be
learned from Russian history in the
past. In other modern lands pub
lie sentiment recoils from assassina-
tons and from cruel executions. But
the Russian mind, like that of an
Gent Rome, is edited by them. If
the Russian people may be said to
rally to the support of anything,
it is to a bold assassination. That
is something to stand by! They
sprang nobly to the support of the
assassination of Plehve with the rev.
olution Of 1905-until the ear be-
gan his own assassinations. What
an impetus the murder of Rasputin
gave to the revolution of 1917!
1t is even quite possible that the
assassination of Gar Nicholas is so
widely approved by the Russian pub
lie mind as to stay the reaction
against the bolsheviki. Let us fer
vently hope not. But where will the
next blow strike? Will it bring just
such relief and joy to the Russian
soul as the thought of Rasputin
strangling under the ice of the Neva
brought?

COMING OUT OF sECLUsIoNI
Chinese Girls Arc Beginning to Adopt
Dress and Mannerisms Of Their
European Sisters.

Chinese woman are coming into
their own. In the World Outloob
Tyler bennett, describing a Sunday
afternoon in Picking, says that in the
Chinese-English park in the i'm
perial city, under the red and yell
low walls of the Forbidden city it
self, there are to be found things
never before seen on Chinese sea or
land.
There are Chinese girls, he says,
ranging from sixteen years to nine
teen, with their black glistening hair
in long braids, their pink trousers
reaching midway down to their up
to-date European pumps. With this
regalia they wear bright blue stock
ings, and some of them are to be
seen smoking cigarettes.
Only the two extremes of the Chi
nese feminine social order are ex-
posed to public view. The coolie
woman one sees hoeing the fields,
pulling the car, carrying her fair or
unfair share of every load. But the
lives of the great mass of Chinese
women beginning with the orders
just above this class are shrouded,
he says, in mystery.
The Chinese girls that one sees at
the race meetings, motoring down
Bubbling Wells road, are the eman-
cipated Chinese girls. i. While not
exactly typical, they are leading q
procession which grows larger every
year, and they indicate a tendency
which is causing no little harm.
