TOO COLD FOR THE GURKHAS

contingent of prinnng, brown,
understood soldiers in billiard cloth
green uniforms and blacq turbans
passed through New York the other
day on their way to some place on the
other side of the globe They called
themselves Gurkhas, and said they
had been taken out of the trenches in
France because of an attack of cold
feet.
The Gurkhas themselves were will
ing to let the statement stand at face
value, but British officers in the city
fastened to correct any mistaken no
ton about the fighting prowess of
their Indian allies. The Gurkha tribes
come from NeDal, on the southern side
of the Himalaya Mountains. They
made peace with the British in 1914,
and since that time have been rated
amonk the best troops of the Empire
"If anybody thinks the Gurkhas
were recalled from France because
they were afraid he has another think
coming" said an officer at the British
recruiting mission. "They did have
cold feet in the trenches, but the trou-
BILE was due to the weather and not
nerves. Almost all sugered from
! frostbite.
"Give the Gurkhas a warm climate
and they'll Outright any bunch of men
on earth. It's almost impossible to
kill one of them. The harder you hit
him the wider he grins and the worse
it's going to be for you later when
he gets out his koorkri.
! "A kookri is a foot-long, triangu-
lar-bladed knife which every Gurkha
carries when he goes into battle. At
Loos the Gurkhas used to lie out be-
tween the trenches at night or crawl
into the German lines with only their
knives for weapons. Mention at hook
ri to a German who faced that crowd
and it will take a bullet to stop his

CONSIDER THE MOTHERS

Don't make the mistake of assum-

paramount consideration in making
your Liberty Bond purchase.
1t isn't by long shot.
1t is about the smallest. The most
selfish. 1t represents a matter of two
per cent. or whereabouts, for there is
no question of safety involved.
Compared to the menace of trium-
prant Germany and the staggering in
demnity demand she would impose it
is insignificant.
1t is utterly dwarfed by the possible
magnitude of the debt that will result
from an indefinite continuance of the
struggle.
And when it comes to the sacrifice

Thousands have already paid the
supreme price. Thousands more will
do so.
Every day the fighting is growing
more desperate. Germany now on the
defensive, is doing her worst, is over
looking no resort, may be expected to
forget all the rules of civilized war
fare once her plight becomes hope
less.
Our policy should be to win this
war with just as little loss of time as
possible. For the sooner the job is

CARE NEEDED
IN FACTORY POSTERS
Good Intentions Are Not Sufficient
For Bad Judgment May Lead to
Results Actually Harmful.

Factory posters, designed to stimu-
late the productive effort OF workmen,
must be used with discretion, accord
ing to d. p. Carpenter, who writes in
Printers Ink on the subject, Want
ed a New Vision in Factory Posters"
lie points out that the employers
point of view is considerably different
from that of the employee, and that
posters thoroughly admirable. in the
opinion of the factory proprietor, do
not make any kind of hit with the
workmen.
Mr. Carpenter points out very Wig
orously that there are two points of
view in such matters. He cites, for
example, the statement by that we'll
known dreamer, Leon Trotzky," in
which the Bolsheviki leader an
nounced the intention of ruling all
factories democratically and paying
the owners 5 or per cent. interest.
On the other hand, there is the point
of view represented by those factory
owners who put up such posters as:
"The soldier works "a hours a day;
the man who doesn't do the work that
is asked of him is a 'slocker, and II
he were over there he would face a
firing squad"
Between these two extremes some
where the right ground must lie, "
writes Mr.. Carpenter. at is happily
true that a great many manufacturers
seem to have the new vision now. In
the first place they have come to real
ize that labor can no longer be con-
sidered commodity, that the labor OF
each individual is a part and a very
important part of tmhat individuals
life, and today America depends on
the vision of her employers and en-
ployees almost as completely as she
does upon the valor and bravery OF
her troops on the battle field"
The United States Department OF
Labor has prepared a series of fac
tory posters which are designed to in
sure the cooperation of workmen with
the Nations war program, and which
have been chosen most carefully by
men expert in the psychology of the
workmen. These posters are avail
able to factory owners for placing on
bulletin boardsS In order to conserve
paper It is aimed to make few pos
ters cover the ground wherever pos
sible, The posters are distributed by

ELECTRICALLY WELDED SHIPS
(Science American)

80. (Science American)
In place of using rivets to fasten
the plates and the framing of a ship
together, test is being made by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, at the
Federal Shipbuilding Company's yard
in Kearney, N. j., in the use of cleo
trio welding. This test is to be con-
Quoted on fort-foot length of a
9,600-ton cargo steamship. Both spot
welding and continuous arc welding
will be used, the spot weldinf for con-
Meeting the frames and plates, and
the arc welding for joining the seams
of the plates. The hull to be tested
will be filled with water and sub
jected to various strains in order to
Judge of the strength of the joints.
Should the test prove successful, it
will result not only in the saving of
10 per cent. of weight, but also in a
great economy of time. 1t will elimi-
nate a great deal of work in marking
out punching and fitting of the mem
bers, as well as a reduction in the
railroad transportation from the roll
ing mill to the fabricating plant. 1t
is believed that the total saving will
amount to about $40 per ton of the
steel structure.

WORKING CONDITIONS
SERVICE IS FORMED
Grant Hamilton, For Many Years
With A. +. Of L., Has Been
Named Director.

In order to guard against the mis-
takes that England and other coun-
tries made early in the war through
working employees too long hours and
otherwise disregardin gproper work
ing conditions in industry, the De-
partment of Labor has established
Working Conditions Service, the OBJ
iect of which is to maintain the most
helpful conditions possible for the
great body of war workers in the
United States.
This service will be intrusted with
the task of examining into working
conditions in the various war indus
tries. 1t will determine standards
which shall be maintained in the war
industries, and. will adopt rules en-
bodying and explaining these stand
ards. 1t will also determine the best
means of insuring the adoption and
maintenance of such standards and
will cooperate with State authorities
for the purposes mentioned. Grant
Hamilton, long with the American
Federation Of Labor, is director.
The inspection work of other de-
partments will not be duplicated, but
the service will endeavor to combine
their functions in way that will COW
