CASUALTY LISTS
SWELL RANKS OF
17TH INFANTRY

CAMP MEADE Nd, July 2s.-cas-
uaIty lists have served as calls to the
service to many men-below and
above draft age-who are here as re-
eruits for the Seventeenth Infantry,
which was doing guard duty in
Springfield arsenal before being sent
here to train and to help handle the
hundreds of recruits recently sent to
this unit These recruits are distinct
from men Of draft age who are in
Quoted into the service in advance OF
calls or for special duties.
Joseph .Palastra, one OF the hun
dreds of lads in this regiment, had
two chums in an orphan asylum in
Brooklyn, N. Y, who went into the
army almost the very day that war
was declared. The two soldier boys,
only eighteen years old, took turns
IN writing letters to Joe. The boys
told how great the army life was af-
fer the old life OF studies in the or
phan asylum and school
The letters became more and more
persuasive. One of the best OF the
letters came on the very day that a
long casualty list was published. On
the list were the names of William
Reedy and William McCutcheon, the
lNO
Palastra then realized that he would
get no more letters. The war meant
something more to him then than be-
fore. He was only eighteen years
old, and he had thought about wait
ing another year or so. Having no
one dependent upon him he had no
one to turn to who would chill his
ardor for service. When he went to
the recruiting office he found others
there who had read the list and de-
cided to go, too.
All the lads are eager for the day
when the regiment will go to France
TO fight Some Of them seem so young
that older men OF the draft age refer
to them sometimes as the Boy Scouts
Many were Boy Scouts. The regi-
ment is enjoying the strenuous train
ing program after the tedious period
Of guard duty. They have had a
course on the target range at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, but hope to shoot
here soon.

SAY GIRL METAL
WORKERS ARE
FASTER THAN MEN

BOSTON, July 2s.-Fovorable re-
suits from the wartime employment
of women in the metal traces are as
serted in a report issued by the ma
tional industrial conference board.
In summarizing information obtain
ed for 131 establishments the report
said that employers generally COM
mended women as more thorough and
producing less spoiled
work and being more careful with
tools. Even where the quantity of
work produced was less than that Of
men, the quality was frequently bet
ter. Women also were reported as
.'more teachable," more regular in
tendency to restrict output which the
report said, was sometimes character
istic of men.
In the main, women's work had been
confined to the lighter processes in
which rapidity and dexterity were
more important than technical skill
acquired by long training. Comparing
the output of women and men, the re-
mort showed that in establishments of
the ninety-seven furnishing specific
information on this point, and where
men and women were employed on the
same processes. the output Of women
was equal to. and frequently, greater
than that OF men.
In a munition plant manufacturing
fuses, women operatives on drill press
es and milling machines were found
to be from 25 to so per cent faster
than, that of men.
General acceptance by employers OF
the principle of the equal pay for
equal work was indicated. A COM
~ men engaged on the same processes
in the II2 establishments making
complete statements on output and
wages showed that in fifty-six women
received equal pay and in twenty
eight equal piece rates, but lower
time rates. In only twenty-eight es-
Establishments were the women paid a
lower scale than men for both piece
work and time work

.RATTLESNAKE BITE
|. KEEPS MINER OUT
/. OF j. S. ENGINEERS

CAMP MEADE, Nd, July PA
rattlesnake and a jug OF rum resulted
in a duel years ago, which has now
kept Thomas Muldoon, OF Arizona,
out of the Twenty-seventh Engineers
and out OF his one best chance to help
blow up the Kaiser and some OF his
soldiers. Muldoon has been left be-
hind in the development battalion on
account of injuries and complications
that grew out of q snake bite many
years ago.
The rattlesnake bit Muldoon's
finger. To keep the poison from
spreading through his system he bit
the end on the finger himself. That
shows that Mr.. Muldoon is a man for
quick action when there is an emer-
gency. The next thing needed was
rum and plenty of it as a remedy for
the snake bite. Down the road there
came q man with a jugful. Muldoon
had 10 have the booze and all of it.
and there was no time for parley or
ceremony. The fellow seemed very
unwilling. He did not buy the booze
for good Samaritan use, but for per-
sonal consumption.
1t was time for quick action again
and Muldoon seized and drank in
haste what he had to have of the
rum. The owner became abusive and
with q sore finger and plenty OF rum
inside, Muldoon was not equipped for
making a stand. 1t was his time to
run and he did, but the other fellow
opened hre.
Muldoon got a bullet in his back and
he lay there in the roadside until
somebody came along to pick him up.
Muldoon's health has not been the
same since then.
