The national war labor board has de-
cided against establishment at this
time of minimum wage to be applied
generally throughout industry. 1t
adopts an attitude firmly opposed both
to unjust profits on the part of capital
and unreasonable demands on the part
of labor, stating that capital should
have only such reasonable returns as
will assure it's use for the worlds and
the nations cause, and that the phySi-
cal wellbeing of labor and it's physical
and mental effectiveness, in comfort
reasonable in view of the exigencies of
the war, likewise should be assured.
The board declares the war to be an
interregnum in which the wheels of
industry should turn only in the COM
mon cause and for common ends, and
neither for unjust profits on the part
of capital or unfairly inflated wages
for labor, stressing maximum produc-
ton as the paramount necessity and
unSelfiSh cooperation as the prelim1-
nary essentials to this accomplishment.
There is reaffirmation by the board
Of the principle that the worker is en-
titled to wage sufficient to sustain
himself and his family in health and
comfort, and a restatement Dy the
board to apply this principle in each

The Liberty motor developed by the
department Of military aeronautics, is
to have a special engine oil which is to
he known as the Liberty aero OIL"
1t was developed by the fabrication
branch while the latter was still a part
of the signal corps. 1t is mineral
oil and will be used not only on the
Liberty motor but on all stationary
cylinder aircraft engines of the army
and navy.
Its development is due to the energy
and skill of a staff of men who worked
exclusively on the problem for year.
Capt. o. J. May, who deserves greatest
credit for its production, so exhausted
himself by his labors that he could
not recuperate from an illness and
died.
When the aircraft program was an
nounced in 1917 no one in authority
had a definite idea as to the proper
kind of fabrication required. There
was no uniformity. For every engine
there was a specific oil. Some en-
gineers insisted on castor oil, others
mineral oil, still others castor and
mineral oils mixed. 1t was estimated
that 100000 gallons of castor oil,
costing So per gallon, would be re-
quired and that quantity was not avail
able.
Captain May and assistants set out
to develop a suitable lubricant for the
Liberty motor at an average cost Of Is
cents a gallon, and also system for
retaining oil already used. In %
days Captain May supervised the run
ming of 81 engine tests in laboratory
where five engine tests week would
be complete program. These en-
gines were run with different kinds of
oils and each oil was analysed and
measured before and after tests. The
work required ceaseless vigil. -Alti-
tude tests were made in an alright
building capable of having the air
within it partly exhausted.
From these tests the Liberty aero
oil developed. 1t will cost about one
fourth the price of castor oil, saving
the government perhaps 81, 100000 Q
year. system of retaining used
oil was developed and at least so per
cent can be made fit to use again.

STOLEN AUTO
IS LOCATED
IN MAYSVILLE
valuable Automobile Stolen From
Youngstown, Ohio, is Located in
Local Garage-Thief Makes
n Get Away.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort yes
terday received telegram from the
Chief of Police of Youngstown, Ohio,
asking him to be on the lookout for a
stolen Auburn automobile which was
supposed to be on its way from
Frankfort to this city.
The police at once threw out a net
watching all strange automobile COM
ing into the city from any direction
expecting the car 10 be driven into
the city at most any time from any of
the pixies entering the city but they
were unable to locate the car in this
way.
The word was then passed out to
the local garages to be on the look
out for an Auburn automobile and it
was learned last night that such a
car had been driven into Kirk & Kinks
garage in lower Sutton street yester-
day morning by man who asked that
the car be stored there for a period
of two weeks. The car was viewed by
the police and it was found to be the
stolen car bearing all of the serial
numbers furnished by the owner at
Youngstown. Ohio, from whom it was
stolen.
The thief could not he located how
ever for the police learned that he
came to Maysville yesterday morning
early and left here on the morning
train for points east. Immediately
Chief Ort wired the Chief of Police
at Youngstown, Ohio, and the officers
along the C. & o. were advised to be
on the lookout of the thief but so far
nothing has been heard of him.
The car is a beautiful seven pas
senger touring car in good condition,
| In searching the car the police
found a letter addressed to w. ]. Ken
nedy care of Frankfort Hotel, Frank
fort. Ky, and this letter may serve as
a clue to locating the auto thief.

MISSION HEAD OFFERED
POSITION IN MARION
Miss Mary Frank Hughes is Offered
Position Of Secretary Of the As
sOciated Charities Of Marion,
nd. - Holds Conference
There Today.

Miss Mary Frank Hughes, Superin-
tendent of the Maysville City Mission,
is spending today in Marion, Ind, in
conference with the directors of the
Associated Charities of that city Miss
Hughes has been offered position as
Secretary of the Associated Charities
in Marion and the purpose of her visit
there today is to look over the field
and to go into the proposition with the
directors of the institution.
The city of Marion is a much larger
city than Maysvlle and offers broad
er opportunities but Miss Hughes has
not fully made up her mind as to what
she will do about the proposition.
The Superintendent's many friends
in Maysville are hoping that she will
decide to remain in Maysville, where
during the past year she has been
able to accomplish so much through
the City Mission and the hearty CO.
operation of the splendid board of
managers of that institution. The
Mission Home has recently been
moved to a much better location and
the work is starting off we'll. 1t is to be
hoped that Miss Hughes will decide to
remain here and continue the great
work she has begun and carried
through so successfully thus far.

is "PEACE OFFENSIVE"
Hun Prisoners Say Present Drive is
to Enforce Terms of Peace on
the Allied Governments.

With the French Army in France
July 13 - Mareuil-De-Port, on the
Marne, was the scene this morning OF
terrific fighting in which French and
American troops were resisting most
valiantly against the heavy odds.
Other fierce struggles were in pro-
gress north of the Marne in Rodemat
wood and around Morefaux where
Italian troops are participating
Several German prisoners, which
interrogated declared they had been
told that this offensive would enforce
the German conditions of peace on
the Allies.
The battle has been christened by
them the peace offensive,
The captives added that the number
of men thrown in to the line on this
occasion was fully equal to the forces
utilized in any attack heretofore
made.

POSTOFFICE
EMPLOYEES GET
PAY INCREASE
First Pay Under New Salary Schedule
Made at MaysNille Post Office on
Last Monday.

All employees of the local Post
Office when they received their regu-
lar semi-monthly pay check on last
Monday found that check somewhat
larger than usual. This increase in
pay was due to the bill recently pass
ed by Congress increasing the pay of
every government workman who was
not working under special contract.
The increase will amount to consid-
cradle to many of the employees. City
Carriers and Post Office Clerks here
will receive an increase of two hun
dred dollars per year in their salar-
les while rural route carriers will re-
ceive the same where their route is
no longer than twenty-five miles.
Those driving routes of more than
twenty-five miles in length will re-
ceive more of an increase and this
will apply to three of the Maysville
routes as only two of the five routes
out of this city are as short as twen-
ty-five miles.
Mr.. Charles Huff, fireman at the
Government building and William
Whaley, janitor, will each receive an
increase in salary of 1920 per year.
This increase puts all of the postal
employees at this place in very good
condition as to salary as the major
ity of them will now be receiving
more than twelve hundred dollars per
year. The little increase found in
the pay check Monday will do much
toward solving the problem of the
high cost of living.

EX-CONVICT is
HELD AS ASHLAND
MURDER SUSPECT
Negroes Did Not XIII G. & o. Detec-
tive-White Man Arrested and Pal
Makes Confession of the Job.

Ashland police early yesterday
morning arrested a man who gave his
name as e. II. Smith and formerly
charged him with the murder of r.
l.. Kinnan, railroad detective, in the
Ashland yards of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Monday night.
Smiths travelling companion, Thom-
as Masterson of st. Albans, was also
taken into custody and it is claimed
by the police that he has made a
confession in which he accuses Smith
of the murder. Both men are being
held in the Ashland Jail.
It was acting upon clues picked up
at the scene of the crime that CHIEF
of Police r. b. Payne of Ashland laid
plans which resulted in the capture O!
the alleged murderer before the break
of dawn following the tragedy
The first impression of the officers
was that the crime had been COM
mitted by one of four negroes who
had been seen near the scene of the
crime and who had been acting in a
suspicious manner. One of the quar-
tet was arrested hut, following an ex-
animation. the chief became convinc-
ed that the guilty man was one of a
gang of West Virginia bootleggers'
as he describes it.
shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday
morning the chief and several officers
started on a search which resulted in
the discovery of Masterson and Smith
asleep in box car, not far from the
scene of the crime
Under rigid cross-examination it is
declared that Masterson broke down
and confessed that Smith had killed
Kinnan.
1t appears that Kinnan and John
son, who was wounded by the same
bullet which killed kinnan. were in
the Chesapeake & Ohio yards investi-
eating some box car robberies when
they discovered Masterson standing
along side of box car. They search
ed him and found about 90 pints OF
liquor.
The officers were examining the liQ-
uor with a view of ascertaining an
address showing the destination OF
the liquor when. without warning. a
man crawled from under box car
and fired three shots. The first shot
passed through Kinnan'h heart and
then struck Johnson, inflicting SER
ious but not fatal injury.
Smith. according to the confession
of Masterson to Chief Payne, was the
man who had been concealed under
the box car and the man who had fir
ed the fatal shot.
The negro who had been interrogat-
ed by the officers just before the
shooting was apprehended soon after
the shooting. but he established his
innocence and was given his liberty
yesterday morning.
According to Chief of Police Payne
Smith was recently discharged from
the West Virginia state prison at
Moundsville, where he had been sent
to serve a short term on a charge of
killing woman His home is said to
be on Cabin Creek, near Charleston,
Smiths age was given as thirty years

FATHER HAS NOT WIRED AGE OF
son HELD HERE

When William Mills, who claims
his home is in West Virginia and who
claims that he is not old enough to
register under the selective draft, was
arrested by the local police, they
wired to his father to learn his exact
age. AS yet they have received no
reply and it is likely that the boy will
be tried under the vagrancy law and
held for further investigation as to
his liability to serve his country.

tectives in the Ashland yards on Mon
day night but it has been learned that
negroes did the shooting. The men
are being held. however, as they may
know something about the tragedy.
