Washington, Dac. 1G.-War workers
don't want to quit. In the reduction Of
forces in practically every govern
ment department since the signing CT
the arnlisltice, thousands of war work
"rs are being dropped every week, and
every worker seems to be looking for
a job elsewhere. Yesterday stream of
women, old ar.i young, of all descrip-
tons, registered at the U. S. Depart
rent of Labor Employment Bureau
on Pennsylvania avenue Many C
them registered for holiday help in
the stores. "The Civil Service Com
mission is busy turning away appl;-
cants," said Mr. Halloran of the Com
mission.
The War Industries Board will soon
c2ase 70 exist. and all other branches
ct the Council of National Defense
are rapidly reducing their forces. The
Housing Go-nr5ttee will continue for

School Teachers Must

Teachers In the public schools can
be Of great service in these times In
patriotism In the hearts Of
their pupils. Some Of the boys and
girls attending school come from
homes where the prevailing feeling

toward the war. Upon the teachers
the government must depend for in
stilling lessons In Americanism that
will make the growing generation
feel the thrill of the great adventure
upon which democracy has entered.
For this reason teachers must give
something more than proof merely
that they are not actively disloyal.
The three teachers who have been
dismissed from the public schools Of
New York City for acts Of question
able loyalty are seeking reinstate-
ment on technicalities. 1t Is to be
hoped that the courts will be chary
about encouraging them in this pur-
pose. They may not be consciously
ro-German. but their records show
that they have been slow to grasp
the Significance Of the issues at
stake In the war, as those issues af-
feet the United States, and that
they have been lukewarm In patriot
ism when they should have been
earnest and enthusiastic.-New York

Modern Road
/, Building

As labor has greatly increased In
cost. the expense Of stone roads has
become very large. Many engineers
have abandoned the formulas recent
ly thought essential. and have re-
duced the thickness Of the stone lay
ers to six inches. and sometimes rs
low as three inches.
Just how permanent any road with
only. q three inch stone layer can
be is yet to be determined. 1t is not
wise policy to lay wide road thru
most country districts. The traffic
on ordinary roads can get along on
a 10 foot strip of macadam very
nicely. and allow the work to cover
q proportionately greater distance.
The use of coal tar and oils with
an asphaltic base to make a solid
crust has become very general. IT
seems an almost hopeless proposition
nowadays to lay macadam road
without some such binder. The as
phaltic material must be mixed very
thoroughly with the stone forming
the crust. 1t is recommended that
the base of the road be coated with
aspAaItie cement. about gallon be-
ing applied to the square yard;

This War Of
Science

Some months ago the success Of
the American airplane program was
jeopardised by strikes In the spruce
industry. German sympathixers re-
joiced. and German spies we're sus-
pected Of working to foment such
strikes. In so far - they may have
done so, their congratulations were
short lived.
No satisfactory substitute has yet
been found for spruce in building
planes. It is light and has great
strength, the two essential qualities.
Spruce is not as plenty as It was
before the days Of its free use for
paper making. But there Is consld-
cradle left. particularly in Washing
ton and Oregon, and the Canadian
supplies must be fairly good.
When It appeared that there would
be trouble In getting out the spruce
regiments were organized Of men ia
miliar with numbering. The great
difficulty occurred after the spruce
was got out. on the problem Of sea-
soning the wood, After II IL Just
cut II Is far too wet and sappy. Or
dinarily seasoning takes ~ to IS
months. The scientists got up 4
process that would do It in four
months. But the army men said II
was too long. Now Z seasoning pro-
cess BY saturation has been devised
that does the business In about ten
days.
II takes about 125 feet Of spruce
boards to build an airplane. This all
has TO bs good smooth wood. with
out knots. or other irregularities. An
the wood IL largely defective. II &C
tuaily takes over 1000 feet a. 4
runs for each plane. This Of course
makes tremendous demand on our
spruce resources.
80 the technical men are studying
the question Of substitutes. Steel
does not stand the high attitudes
very we'll. and most woods are toe
heavy. No doubt some substitute
can be found II the available spruce
supply should ever BE- exhausted.

First On The
Ground

Great fortunes are not always the
result Of superior skill. Quite as fire.
quently they come from ability to
think quickest. The merchants who
make the first appeal to a certain
popular want. are the ones that get
the cream OF the trade. The way to
attract attention in retail trade Is to
tell the public about q line Of goods
and advertise It thoroughly.
When that IL done the idea gets
into the minds Of q great many peo-
pie that the merchants whose notices
they have seen are showing push and
enterprise in handling certain lines
Of goods.
People will 90 down and see an
attractive line displayed In the win
dow OF a on-advertising firm. But
IL they read a few days before the
advertising OF a similar line Of goods
somewhere else. the first man who
called their attention keeps 1t. They
will 60 around first to look at the
store that first told them about it's
product.
Every week the enterprising deal
er has some new line Of goods that
the public wants. Advertising enables
him to get those goods promptly be-
fore the public. While other deal
ers will wait for weeks or indefin-
itely for the public to come around
and see their stuff. the advertisers
get their appeal In first. People look
upon them as the headquarters for
those goods. the places where thsy
can be had to best advantage. where
the largest assortments-are kept. and
the best prices are given.
It 10 . hard proposition to beat an
advertised store. BY the time its
competitors have caught up to where
II was in any particular. the adver-
tised store has closed out that par
tlcuiar line OF stock and taken up
something new. II Is always ahead
Of the game. and 1t pays for the pub
lie to patronise that kind Of place.
