FRAME-UP GANG
ON ITSLAST LEGS

The San Francisco Clarion has
dug up some cheerful information
relating to the "Law and Order
Committee" of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce. F. J. Kos
ter, head of this gang of "frame-up"
criminals is now posing as great
sympathizer with the 8-hour cause,
as in Eureka, California, his coop
erage business is now conducted on
the 8-hour basis. The Clarion says:
"For some time past it has been
rumored that the so-called Law and
Order Committee was looking for a
graceful exit, that it had exhaust
ed it's famous million dollar fund,
and was experiencing difficulty in
getting more money from the mem
bers Of the Chamber of Commerce,
who wanted to be shown that the
work of the so-called Law and Order
Committee was worth while. Now
comes the news that the so-called law
and order committee has discontin-
ued it's publicity department and
has dispensed with it's publicity man,
well-known writer of fiction, who
was receiving $500 per month for
"peddling the bull" for the law and
order committee so-called.
"Also comes the news that the
report on the industrial survey of
San Francisco, made by one Miner
Chapman, has been placed on the
secret files of the so-called Law and
Order Committee and will never be
made public.
at is also reported that the U. S.
bureau of censorship has taken cog
nizance of the infamous and mali
ciously false stories concerning the
labor movement of San Francisco,
written by German for the Law
and Order Committee, and published
in local magazine subsidized by
the L. and o. Committee, and that
arrangements are being made to
have the series of stories come to
an abrupt end.
when all is said and done, the
local labor movement has made great
strides since the formation of the
so-called Law and Order Committee.
During the life of that committee,
practically every union has nego-
tiated a closed-shop agreement, with
increased wages and improved work.
ing conditions, and several new
unions have been organized, despite
the fact that the L. and o. Com
mittee, although denying it, has done
it's utmost to destroy the organized
labor movement"
The German editor of local mag
azine referred to is Walter V.
Wohlke, editor of Sunset Magazine,
owned by the Southern Pacific Rail
way. This fellow is now in Tacoma
trying to stir up industrial trouble
and the Tacoma Central Labor Coun-
Gil last week adopted resolutions,
asking the Government to intern

H. L. Hughes, member of the In
dustrial Insurance Commission, who
was drafted" by Secretary of La
Dor William B. Wilson for a 30-day
lecture trip on "The War and What
1t Means to Labor" returned to his
duties on the commission the other
day.
Commissioner Hughes left Olym-
pia January 80, for this work on
leave of absence from his duties
here, granted by Governor Lister.
He went direct to Washington, d. G.,
and spent four days in the Labor
Department, comforting with Secre-
tary Wilson and others on various
phases of the war situation and the
part that labor is playing and Is to
play in the great war drama.
In these conferences were IL 9TH
err men, prominent in the labor move
ment of the country, who had been
selected by the department to carry
a message from Secretary Wilson to
the workingmen in the shipbuilding
plants and other war industries of
the nation. These II speakers were
all placed under the direction of
Honorable E. P. Marsh, member of

director of the speakers bureau in

Commissioner Hughes was direct

vicinity. He arrived there February
y, and by covering frequently as
many as three meetings a day, he
succeeded in getting before most OF
the laboring men of San Francisco
South City, Oakland and Vallejo
where the Mare Island navy yard is
situated, after which he returned
home. He says that the spirit OF
the men working in the big ship
building plants in that section is
fine and that the work is going

Not for Publication.

Here is one story that H. e. Bar
nard, the state food administrator,
should not overlook. Ed Lane, one OF
the prominent citizens of Colfax. Clin-
ton county, became worried several
nights ago because he couldn't
sleep, and thinking that perhaps a
salt water bath might restore his
restful slumbers, he got up and pro-
ceeded to experiment with his
theory. The next day his clothing
stuck so tight to his body that he
had to have assistance from his wife
to get it off, and when she inquired
as to the reason, he Informed her
that he had taken q saltwater bath
the night before. But Mrs. Lane then
realized where her sugar had gone,
and she proved to her husband that
he had got the graduated sugar
instead of the salt. The result was
painless, but Lane doesn't think that
it will do to have Mr.. Hoover or Mr..
Barnard find out he took his bath in
sugar water.-Indianapo News.

Safety Belts.

On the question Of safety belts DR..
Graeme Anderson gives it as his opin'
ion that before leaving the ground all
aviators should see that their safety
belts are fastened and should be fa-
miliar with the method of their quick
release; the belt should never be UNI
done in the air.
In II crashes on tractor machines
with II injured the belt held on seven
occasions and gave way on ten, OF the
AZ crashes in which the pilot escaped
the belt held in % instances and gave
way In IA.
DIR. Graeme Anderson advocates the
wearing of safety helmets by all pupils,
but emphasizes that they should be
well fitting and not be easily dislodged
from the head while flying.

Small ISLAND ALL AMERICAN
On. of Uncle samueI's Most Valued
Possessions Is Little Scrap OF
Land in the Pacific Ocean.

Midway, tiny scrap of an island in
the Pacific. is one OF Uncle Sans
most cherished possessions. 1t is one
of the most valuable bits OF sand and
rock in the world. The little island,
a relay station for the Pacific cable,
is link in the chain binding Asia to
the western world, the Philippines to
the United States. A message sent
to Pekin or Manila from San Fran
cisco must pass through Midway be-
fore if reaches its destination. The
island listens to the gossip of two
continents.
Once the most desolate and forsaken
atoll in the two oceans, Midway today
promises to rival Hawaii as the para
disc of the Pacific, a paradise created
by man. A tiny paradise, to be sure,
but the island has never been able
to boast of a population of more than
forty at one time, and. nearly half Of
them were only visiting. A superin-
tendent with the imposing title Of
Guardian of the Island, his family,
doctor Wlln very SlndII pIdCllCe,
an engineer or two and the servants
are the sole inhabitants.
The island today is triumph of
engineering skill. 1t was necessary
that the stations of the cable be under
the American flag. The second link
in the chain could only be Midway, 50
the nameless, pear-shaped heap Of
sand in the Pacific was transformed
into a blooming bit of land with flow
ers, vegetables and even diminutive
trees. The American flag was raised
over the government house, an Amer
lean colony was transplanted to the
new island and Midway stepped into
prominence at once.
Midway is just half way around the
world from London, almost directly
over the 1SOth meridian. When it is
midnight in England the noon sun is
shining on the smallest single bit Of
American soil in the world.

Gauze Masks.

This letter is explanatory Of the e.,za
mask, the use OF which is urged by the
State department of health as a nrotec-
ton against the infection of influenz, and
the group of other diseases spread by the
droplets or particles of infectious matter
elected from the air passa ges. For Ions
while the surgeon has been wearing the
gauze mask to protect the field of opera
ton from any infectious germs that MIGHT
be given off from his own mouth or nose:
but there is now wide movement to give
physicians, nurses and other attendants
and the associates, with the sick, the pro-
lection which this device gives bv hold
ing back the infection which might other
wise be breathed in.
The results following the use of this
protective measure have been so remark
able that those members of the medical
profession who have been observers have
been deeply impressed. For instance, at
Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, there was
early this year, as in many other military
camps, a great prevalence of disease
spread by respiratory infection until the
general use was made of the gauze mask.
There had been many cases of infection
of those who were exposed, but after the
use of the mask became general, the sys-
tenn may be said to have been efficient in
95 per cent of the exposures to scarlet
fever and in 100 per cent of the exposures
to measles, so the surgeon at the camp
reports.
From gauze, (often called cheese cloth
in the dry goods stores), one yard wide,
not of tine mesh and preferably woven
from thread somewhat fluffy, cut on the
selvage edge piece 43 inches long Cut
ting again on the selvage, divide this
piece into strips inches wide
Fold each strip into halves, then into
thirds, thus making thcknesses of
gauze. Turn in the raw edges and stitch
the four Sides The mask now measures
by inches.
Put in pleats on each of the inch
ends, the lower to be deeper than the
other two, to make room for the chin
When finished the pleated ends should
be hardly more than inches wide At
tach to each extreme corner a piece of
tape one-fourth to one-half inch wide
and IA inches long. One pair of tapes
ties around the head above the ears and
the other around the neck below the ears.
This style of mask fits the face better
and is preferable to the kind earlier
made by Red Cross workers without the
pleats. Each person using these masks
should have supply so that he may
change them frequently-after two or
three hours use. The used masks are
ready for using again as soon as they are
steril1zed by boiling five minutes and
then dried

Trenches Not So Bad!

He was small boy about six years
old, and like most youngsters of his
age, was more or less opposed to hav-
ing his face washed any 'oftener than
was necessary. During the course of
one of these operations he looked at
his father and asked:
''Do the soldiers in the trenches get
vacations?" F
mot while they are fighting" an
swered the father.
81 guess they don't have time for va
cations" unused the boy, 'I'll bet they
don't even have time to wash their
hands and face"
81 suppose that is right, replied the
father, after which there was a long
pause during which the washing oper-
atiOns We're continued.
At last the irksome task was COM
pleted. The boy heaved sigh of re-
lief, and as he left the bathroom his
father heard him say, Gee, l wish l
was soldier fighting in the trenches"
