The District Commissioners were
called upon today to arbitrate wage
differences between the Capital Trac-
ton Company and its employees, who
ere, embraced in the wage agreement
signed a year ago.

both sides and was the result OF
agreement. after a number OF con-
ferences between officers OF the com
psny and representatives OF the men.
The conferences. It was stated by
both sides. were marked by the best
or feeling, but they failed to bring
sny agreement. This morning it was
determined to ask the Commissioners
10 arbitrate under the terms Of the
three-year agreement signed last
spring, which provided that in case
change was sought by either party
and agreement could not be reached
between them, the Commissioners
should arbitrate and both sides would
bide by the decision.

The truly nice evoke gratitude by
bringing TO the fore peoples best
traits, not drawing to the light tine
silly or inferior facets. That's why the
nice people are sought and have al
ways been able to go anywhere.
Negative qualities do not account
for social niceness. The nice man or

making other people appear at their
best, that is. to bring out cleverness
and geniality.

Note the Difference

The attention of Governor Milliken
having been called to the fact that
some confusion might arise over the
similarity Of the terms OF the two
drives now in progress, for shipbuild-
ing and securing sailors, he said:
1T is true that some confusion has
arisen through mixing the terms and
expressions used in these two drives.
The enrolment III the National
Merchant Marine which the United
states Shipping Board Recruiting
Service is carrying on 50 successfully

building drive which is being carried
on by the United States Public Service
Reserve. The former is recruiting
Young men between the ages Of l. and

Service Reserve is carrying on, Is 70

Both are of tremendous Importance
and both should receive the earnes,

REPORT CHIEF SouLE
BUREAU INSPECTION

A. NJ. G. soule Of Augusta, chief of the
Bureau of Inspection of the Department
of Agriculture, in his annual report
which has been filed with the Governor
and Council, states that during the ~ast
wear. or since April, at least, the Value
of the food and drug law was realized
more than ever before as prevention
of fraud and sophistication.
Owing to the greatly Increased prices
Of food stuffs and the extensive propa-
ganda advocating the substitution OF
cheaper articles of diet, the temptation
was and still is, to carry substitution
even to adulteration, but this trend, how
ever, was checked to a large degree
through the existence of the statute and
its yigilant enforcement, says Mr..
Soule in his report.
Until disabused of the idea, the opin-
ion seemed prevalent that unusual len
iency and disre gard for the enforcement
of the food laws would be the policy OF
the executive officers during the unset
tied conditions brought about by the war.
On the contrary, however, it was the be-
lief of the executives that a more rigid
inspection, if possible, than III normal
times was essential to the needs of the
consuming public and consequently
when reports of violations were received.
every endeavor was made to carefully de-
fine the position of the executives and
the great necessity for insisting upon the
observance of not only the statute, but
the rules and regulations created under
its authority. In war as well as in peace
af
ton was pursued. In the administration
of the food laws, as we'll as those regu-
ating the sale of other commodities the
attempt was made to temper justice with
mercy as l. was fully realized that bust
ness conditions were greatly disturbed.
The number of SAMPLES inspected was
