" on the virtues of slsip-stops.
You will remember that in Lesson No.
I. you began your research with the
admonition to Know the Truth" Les
son II told you of Skip Stops in Other
Cities" In this the merits of the sys-
tenn in some cities were set forth, others
being neglected Study Of these presum-
ably were postponed for a later time.
Then, in Lesson III, the power of public
opinion was impressed upon you under
the caption, Your Say" and you were
advised that You Ride and Rule, and
Finally You Shall Say IL Skip-stops Stay
or Co."
This brings us again to the lesson for
today, No. ". in which We are provided
an opportunity to review part OF Les.

The lesson for today appears in large
type on the front of trolley cars OF
the Rapid Transit Company reading
proverbs xii, 49," Inside the cars re-
main the signs You Ride and Rule
We will turn now to the lesson, which
may be found on page T19 of the Amerl-
can standard version OF the Holy Bible
The nineteenth verse of the twelfth chap
ter reads as follows:
THE lip Of truth shall be established
forever;
But a lying tongue is but for q
moment"
Having been told to know the truth,
we now learn that truth shall prevail
finally, no matter how great the obstacle!
that may be thrown in its path.
You must remember, children, that i
is the nineteenth verge which must bt
studied under the rules of the teacher
| The lesson for today has nothing what
ever 10 do with the twenty-eighth vers
of the same chapter, which reads a.
follows:
I'm the way OF righteousness is life !;
And in the pathway thereof Is n,
death"

ORIGINAL AMERICANS.

Contrary to prevailing notions, the
red Indian is coming back" Govern
ment reports show that, instead OF
passing away, the American Indian IN
the United States Is just coming into
his own. The commissioner Of Indian
affairs reports that he has furnished
the Indians nearly three times as much
seed as during any previous year. and
there is every Indication that they are
becoming thoroughly aroused to their
Industrial opportunity. A number or
Indians are becoming successful farm
ers and stock raisers. In public life
and In public Office, in the professions,
and in the trades, Indians are quite as
prominent and successful as whites,
In proportion to their numbers. 1t Is
true that the Indian Of the blanket
and wickiup is disappearing. The
change has not always been for the
better. Too often he absorbs the white
mans vices and diseases, along with
his modern improvements In a
tardy day, we are trying to do our
duty by the Indians.

Making Life Worth While.

To increase your earning capacity
you must be an energetic, live speci-
men of humankind. You should be
throbbing with surplus power. You
should possess n degree of strength
that will give you confidence and cour-
age and endurance. Then you can go
on day after day, relates n writer, add
ing to your skill and knowledge and
power in your profession. And when
you have climbed TO the highest point
on one sphere of endeavor, you will be
ready TO look around for other work
and continue to experience the delights
that come only with the daily strug-
gle, required for the attainment of the
objects one has in view. Do not forget
the value of systematic effort. Do not
waste your energies. Intelligent dlrec-
tion is all-importart. Force, to be OF
value, must be applied nj the proper
place. Effort, to be productive of re-
ward must be directed by superior in
telligence.

DRIVING RlVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
Of Them Are Needed In a
Steel Ship.

The largest single item In the labor
Of fabricating steel ship Is In the
riveting Of her hull; therefore the
driving Of rivets Is taken as standard
Of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build 10000 ton
ship week means the driving or
about 100000 rivets In that time. The
Union shipyards Of San Francisco, as
mt present equipped and freed from Ia
Dor troubles, can drive about 3OO,OOO
rivets, although I'm record week 1t
drove 1000 rivets; the four next
largest yards In America-at Fore XIV
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va, mt
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-can drive 10000 to 275,OOO
rivets week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
$4,000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed II up, remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists OF two men and two boys
the riveter. his "holder-on." the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 300 to 1915 rivets in the
course of a ten-hqrr day and is tired
at the end of 1t. But when you know
that 1t takes four men all Of a working
day to drive an average Of little less
than $50 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size of the labor problem OF
driving at least 100000 rivets week
necessary to turn out 10,OOO-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words. you need 1000 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships a week-the tremen-
dous program for 1918 to which we
stand committed-means 100000 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity of
our five greatest yards-with total
working force of $4,000 men at the end
of 1917-was but 100000 rivets
week. And riveting represents only
about 20 per cent in the construction
of n ship.
