Prince of Wales Is
Modest When Under
Fire of Publicity

RITIS H HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Nov. 1.-THE Prince Of
Wales's desire to- refrain from attract

when he entered the freed city Of Val

Horn, commander of the First Army;
the commander of Canadian division
which was operating about the town
itself and other divisional commanders
and staff officers. In the ancient
square where stands the beautiful
Hotel de VILE platform had been re-
erected. Here the prince and British
commanders were received by city Off
cials and local dignitaries, while the
troops drew up two deep about the
square. Addresses of thanks for de-
liverances were made by the officials,
to which the prince and generals re-
sponded

then the prince. with characteristic
bnshfulness, slipped quietly away from
the platform and disappeared into the
crowd, leaving his generals to attend

of khaki made his escape easy and he
was seer no more.
Only one really unusual incident oc-
Cured during the ceremony and that
revolved about the goat mascot of one
of the divisions in the parade. The
goat had followed in with his men. as

the square he was rudcly relegated to
the rear ranks. 1t CHANGED that mum

their position in front of the goat and
stood during the inspection ct 'atten-

under their arms. When the inspection
was over the officers stood at ease
again and looked TO their bouquets
They were holding only stems The
mascot had taken sweet revenge and
a square meal for the insult to his

French Women to
Have 5-Hour Day,
Says M. Citroen

Labor Law Fought Here

According to Andre Citroen, the
Paris Industrial leader, French women
are to work five hours day if the
present plans Of labor leaders are
carried out. In this way they will not
be overworked, they will not keep out
of work men who are coming h. me
from the war, and every woman who
needs work will have chance to
get it.
While France is thus preparing to
solve. the problem of women WORKERS,
Americans are offered an opportunity
the employment of children between
establishments and business Offices
during the summer.
George Hall, in the Child Labor
Bulletin published yesterday, said this
law did much harm last summer, the
first summer of it's application. He is
strongly in favor of its repeal.
"As the need for children to work
on patriotic grounds" he says, "wiil
be removed by next summer, and .as
the opportunities for employment
should be made available to enlisted
men and others thrown out of wal
work, the argument in favor of q
repeal of the vacation permit law is
greatly strengthened.
"Such move will, undoubtedly, have
the acti/e support of organized labor
of the officials of the state industrial
commission, and of many others in
terested in child welfare throughout
the state -

Revoked

In the hearing yesterday before
Magistrate McAdoo to determine
whether complaint should be issued
against the Washington Heights Ice

satisfactory relations between com
pany and its employees personnel de-
partment is important, charged with
responsibility for selection, assignment,
transfer or withdrawal of workers and

Where women are employed com
petent woman should be appointed as
employment executive, with RESPONSE
Women should also be appointed in
supervisory positions in the department
employing women.
3. Selection of Workers-The selec-
tion of workers best adapted to the
required occupations through physical
equipment and through experience and
other qualifications is as important as
the determination of the conditions OF
the work to be done.
The responsibility should not rest
upon the management alone to deter
mine wisely and effectively the condi-
tions which should be established. The
duction can be secured only if definite
channels of communication between
employers and groups of their workers
arc established The need of creating
methods of joint negotiation between
employers and groups of employees is
especially great in tho light of the crit
ical points of controversy which may
arise in time like the present. Exist
ing channels should be preserved and
new ones opened, if required, to pro
vide easier access for discussion be
tween employer and employees.

T,UO Air CreiUs Fly
BY Compass and Chart
Without Seeing Earth

MlNEOLA, Long Island, Dec. To-
Aviators operating TWO De Hayiland
bIplanes demonstrated to-day that nav
igarlon Of the air by compass and
chart has become an exact science.
One machine flew from Buffalo to
Hazelhursu Field, and the otner. from
here to Boiling Field, Washington,
neither of them sighting earth lrom
start to finish. ii
Captain W. P. Jacobs was the pilot
and No4onel L. W. Mcintosh observer
on the trip from Buffalo. They lett the
rolling in from the lake so dense that
safety compelled them to take high
altitude at once. They took the Sus-
quehanna course and travelled 307
miles, all of it above the clouds, reach
ing Hazelhurst Field at 1850 p. m.
Lieutenants James J. Gambs, as
sistant adjutant Of the Long Island
Provisional Wing, and Don P. Nomand
had an even more trying trip of 232
miles to Washington, carrying i'm
portant messages. They had to COM
bat not only fog but rain, which the
wind drove in their faces in stinging
blasts, twice forcing them to descend,
but never making them quit for good.
All four of the aviators entered the
air service from civil life, without
previous experience in flying. All of
them soon are to receive honorable
discharges and return to civil employ.

World of Drug Fiends

German scientists had intended to
make drug fiends of all the nations
which opposed Germany, according to
Alex Aabel chief engineer of the

Iceland. Mr. Aabel TO d yesterday of a
conversation he had had IN Iceland

man said. "we the scientists and
chemists of Germany, could have IN
fused poison into the blood Of the
whole world so skilfully and so nsld-
iouslv that in the course of compara-
lively few years Germany would have
had to fight only an alliance of drug
iiend nations.

and powders, in various well known
and much used prophylactic prepara-
tions. we had planned to introduce our
