MAKE BOTH HANDS WORK.

Army training officers say that one
of the hardest things they have to cor
rect in recruits is the tendency to
stoop shoulder, and the occupational
sag of one shoulder.
Among bookkeepers, accountants,
Office clerks and salespeople, the sag
shoulder is common, because no eff
fort is made Ia counterfeit RE tenden-
cy by giving the other side of the
body a chance to participate in physi-
cal activities. Every person ought to
be an ambidexter. If bookkeeping
must be done with the right hand, the
other should hold the pen when fig
ures are added The work of opening
books and turning pages, generally
performed with the right hano, should
become service for the other MEM
Der. In carrying books from the safe
to the desk, each hand should per-
form so per cent. of the work.
With salespeople the rule is to take
down goods with the right hand, the
left assisting only when two hands
are required Box-covers are raised
and goods removed VITA the right
hand, while the left for the most part
merely contributes unimporta11t secon-
darY motions
Really, why shouldn't the left hand
do it's full share of the work? It re-
quireg only little thought and prac--
tice to- enlist the Stacker left in ser--I
vice, aad in an amazingly short timei
its performance will become thorough
" efficient and the tendency to- sag
shoulder will be 0verU1me.

THE SUBMARINE RAID.

No doubt there has been, and for a
time will continue to be unnecessary
alarm over the submarines raid on our
coast, but there should not be. We are
in the war and this is only one of its
Incidents for which we should be pre-
pared. Further than sinking few I'M
protected Merchantmen they can do no
harm. Should they attempt to bonn
babrd any of our coast towns they
would only invite speedy destruction.
Notwithstanding the assignment of a
large part of or naval force to duty in
European waters, our coast guard is
large enough and amply able to take
care of all the submarines Germany
may be rash enough to- send here. It
is safe to hay he will soon find the ex-
pertinent an exceedingly costly one.
Whatever may be Germany's motive
in sending out these piratical raiders,
be they two or a dozen, there can be
but Que outcome of the adventure-dis-
comfiture. What does Germany ex-
pect to accomplish? Is it to brighten
the American people? She betrays a
puerile misunderstanding Of their tenn
per. Does she expect to draw off pro-
lection from the transports leaving
our ports or approaching the shores
of Europe? Little she knows about
the power and vigilance of the United
States navy. Is it her purpose to in
flict serious losses on our coastwise
commerce, and thus cripple our do
nestle economy She undertakes he
magnitude of the task. Even if her
raiders could survive to accomplish it
we could suffer the loss of great
many more vessels that she can hope
to destroy, without being seriously
hampered in domestic affairs.
But whatever the German motive, be
it one or all of these enumerated, 1t
betrays ridiculous differentiation of
American resolution and power That
America cannot be frightened or sway
ed from her inflexible determination to
win this war, Germany, TO her cost,
will discover sooner or later She may
as well read at once, as she must in
the end the writing on the wall
AS to the submarines that have VEN
tured over here, 1t is by no means a
rash prediction to say that any one G
them will be extremely lucky If it ever
returns.

The Orange N. j., battalion of the
Militia Reserve went futher and placed
the ban, not only on Hearst news
papers, but on all Hearst publications.
But already the wave of indignation
is spreading. The Cincinnati public

products notably cotton-have been
left free. This discrimination has
