BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder.
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying S200OOO 00o year toward the
cost of it,
Ali the grain grown in Great Brit.
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated WIZ bread leaf uf four pounds
TO sell at lS cents. the two pound loaf
at cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, Under conditions some
what similar. hut with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loat sells for

The Prayer Meeting
That Is Alive
B. Z. Mullins, Pastor Methodist Ch.
Its Name.

(COnUlnueu from last week.
Every child should have a
name. What shall we call it?
Shall we perpetuate the old
fashioned one of plain "Pray-
er Meeting?" Old-fashioned
names are coming back into
style again. There really
should be no more question
about its name than there was
in the mind of Zacharias about
the name of John. People had
their personal ideas and pref
erences, thinking, of course, he
should be named for some rela-
tive. But Zacharias simply
wrote, His name is John"
That settled the question. So,
let every one write indelibly,
so that it can never be erased,
whatever others may say
about naming it forss2msfheap
relative. It's name Is F'Pray-
er Meeting" But even John
was afterwards given an addi-
tional appellation: John, the
Baptil err" and there is prob
ably no harm in adding some
thing to the old-fashioned
name Prayer Meeting," if by
so doing the people will under
stand better the meaning and
character of the service. Such
names as these have been add
ed, Social Service" Family
Gatherings" "Mid-Week Ser
vice." Congregational Ser
vice" Prayer and Praise Ser
vice" or simply Public Wor-
ship" If anything is to be
gained by these or other SINH
lar names in letting the peo-
pie understand that the meet
ing is not meant for the faith
full few, but for the entire con-
gregatiOn, we see no reason
why it is not just as lawful as
to add "The Baptist" to the
name Of John, because he was
baptizing the people that came
to him. But do not forget that
Zacharias said "His name is
John" not John the Baptist,
but John. Hence, we say,
Prayer Meeting" So don't
omit its real name, christened
of God before its birth, "Pray-
er Meeting"
Its GOd-PmentS.
A godfather or mother is
one who stands uD with the
parents of the child, and as
sumes the same obligations,
and agrees to cooperate with
the parents in the training and
bringing up Of the child. The
leader of the prayer-meeting is
cooperating with the officers
OF the church in directing the
life and influence of this child
OF the church. This honor and
duty most frequently falls to
the pastor, and probably most
frequently should. But he
should understand his position
here as simply sponsor and not
the whole thing. A godfather
is not to live the life of the
child, but is simply to assist in
directing it.
A leader of a meeting should
not be the meeting, but simply
direct it. AS this is distinctly
the peoples service. They can
hear the pastor speak several
times a week, but this is their
one chance to be heard, to ex-
press their experiences, and
views. A sermon, address or
lecture is too formal and to

SEN. HALE MOVES TO AMEND.

The war finance bill is under considera-
ton by the Senate. Among its provi-
sions is paragraph which gives the War
Finance Corporation authority to make
money advances to public utilities and
businesses necessary to the war. To this
paragraph Senator Hale of Maine offered
a very sensible amendment which reads
as follows: "Provided that the corpora
ton shall make monthly reports to the
Congress, giving the name and place of
business of the firm, corporation, or asso-
citation to which such advances have been
made under the provisions of this sec
ton, the amount advanced, and the Sc
cprity accepted therefor" Senator Hale
evidently believes it to be unbusiness-
like, if not unsafe, to advance money to
corporations or individuals who are hiding
behind corporation name, unless the
representatives of the people are to be
given chance to investigate.

ASIATIC LABOR.

The first Chinese exclusion act in this
country was passed III 1882, and SINCE
that time additions have been made
thereto until 1902 when the law as it now
stands was enacted The labor unions
have always favored and upheld this law
and they still uphold it very strenuously.
There has been until recently no consd
cradle opposition manifested to this law
either by the press or by the people. The
Pacific States, California in particular,
have been even belligeTent against the I'M
portation of laborers either from CHINA
or from Japan A great many Chinese
have been smuggled across the CANADIAN
border into the United States in spite OF
the law and many of them have been ar
rested and sent back to China, Today
we are facing labor shortage which not
only delays our war preparations but IN
farming communities, the shortage is
such that it is not easy to see how sutfi-
mands of the coming year Even Cali
fornia cries out for Chinese labor. Why
should we longer refuse this labor? We
have opened our doors to the scum of all
the earth and welcomed a horde which is
now either actively or passively working
AGAINST U.s. The figures of the last census
showed that there were 9, 900. 900 German
born people in this country and an equal
number of Austro-H ungarians. Many OF
the Germans are loyal to our cause but
large number of the Austro-Hungarlan
are members of the l. W. W., while
manv of the Germans here are the mean
qasr dogs ever fed by human hands. The
chinese are not in all respects desirable
citizens, they are not people which
loses nationality by mixing their blood
with that of other nations, but they are
patient workers and outside their local
and congested haunts in cities they have
made little trouble.
There are now more than 100, 600 China
men working in France and we need halt
a million here, to work on our farms.
This is not the time to be swayed by
racial prejudice. 1t is near the time for
planting and sowing, We need labor and
we shall need it more as the war con-
tinues. We wish it were possible to ex-
change the entire |. w. w. for the
sheathen Chinee." We do not love him
but he "velly good man Workee alice
samee" We can send him back to
China later on. He will not seriously

AIRpLANEs.

The American airplane program is
lamentably behind time in its results.
We have 1000 or more training planes
for use in our aviation camps but no
great supply of fighting planes are prom
Used till about July first, and it is openly
charged that but one has yet been built.
The failure is charged to the activity of
the l. w. w. in the Pacific lumber camps
and mills, where the needed quality and
supply of timber was to be obtained.
Other and no less grave reasons have
been limited at, but we shall do well to
avoid rushing to hasty conclusions. 1t
will not be long before an investigation
will be started. The importance of con-
troll in the air is so great that the truth
of the rumors afloat must be proved or
disproved The public will demand this
and if proved, "why is this" will be
question which must be answered. If,
as stated, large sum has been spent fol-
planes, we shall expect to know who got
the money and what use was made of it.
If the l. w. w. is responsible it will be
very good training for our soldiers in the
environments to be dispatched to kill a
few thousand of them.

CONCRETE SHIPS.

The first ocean going vessel ever built
in the United States from reinforced con-
crete was launched at a Pacific port
March 18th. This ship is the largest YES
sci of this kind in the world, and is ap-
propriately named Faith. This ship is
to be propelled by steam generated by
the burning of oil and is expected to
make 10 or II knots an hour. Her carry
ing capacity is 5000 tons dead weight
The sides and bottom of the Faith are
about 4 inches in thickness and the con-
crete is reinforced by many tons OF steel
and iron welded with an irregular mesh
and embedded in the concrete. Inc
weight of this vessel is only little great
er than that of steel vessel of the same
tonnage. Very little wood entered into
the Faith, except that the main deck is
of that material Several concrete boats
have been built in this country and are
proving serviceable in certain lines of do
mestic transportation, but the adaptation
of concrete ships for ocean service has as
vet lust fairly entered the experimental
period. If the experiment shows that
these ships compare favorably with those
Quilt of wood or of steel, very great
advance will have been made IN solving
the yroblem of adequate and consequent
~ cheaper water transportation. The
s.ost of plant for building concrete ships
nee6 not be more than one twentieth that
Of 4 plant for building of steel, much OF
the labor needed is unskiled and the ma
terjal used in making concrete is COM
oaratively cheap. In addition to these
low cost factors the plants will be located
near where very large part OF the con-
struction material is abundant and there
viii be a great saving in the cost of rail-
road transportation. Perhaps of greater
importance than anything we have men
toned is the fact that ships like the Faith
can be built and launched in 90 days A
steel ship seldom is seaworthy after 70
wears. 1t is a we'll known fact that con-
crete improves for at least nine years
after it is moulded and it is reasonable
TO suppose that a concrete ship will out
last any other. 1t seems, therefore, that
a great change in the ship building busi-
ness is at hand if the Faith proves sea-
