BUY BONDS, SAYS BOX,
By Edward Box, editor of the Ladies' Home Journal

If every woman in American cor rectly understood the safety to her. self in an investment in a Liberty lean bond, l doubt if there would be many bonds left for the men to buy. These bonds should have an usual attraction to woman left with small means to invest, since she is gencr- ally not as well informed as a man with regard 10 safe Investments. She wants to put her money where it is safe, because, as a iaIlc, it is all that she has, but she does not know where to put it. There are thousands of such women all through the country who are naturally timid about invest ing their money, and I wish that my words might reach every woman so placed that she might look for herself into the unusual opportunity offered her for a safe haven for her money Her own intelligence would then quick
 y convince her that her dream of plac- ing her money where she can not lose it had come true. If any word of mine can help such a woman to reach de- cision, I am only too glad to speak it and to urge her to do the double duty that is hers; First, the duty to the safety of her own money, and, second, the duty that she performs to her country when she buys a Liberty loan bond.

TEACH MANAGERS ID SPEFD UP WAR
 WORK AT SCHOOL
Course Given Executives of War Industries at
 U. of Rochester.

Washington, April S--.Speeding up war production is given as the purpose of the six weeks course of management now in progress at the University of Rochester, at Rochester New York The council of National defense in a statement issued today outlined the need for employment eX- perts which caused the Industrial Ser vice Sections of several departments of the government including the Elmer gency Fleet Corporation, the Ordnan- co, Quartenmaster's. Labor, and Navy departments to ask for the course.
 Twenty prospective employment managers, representing firms engag- cd on important war work and parti cularly slipbuildin2, are enrolled in the course. Laboratory work is be- ing provided by fifteen Rochester factories.
 The traning will consist of an in l tensivc study of methods to promote aitiviities affecting tAc hunan rela- tions of the workers. The enormous labor turnover in shipEards which has greatly slacilencd production is evidence of discontent on the part o1 the workers and the present course aims to train men who will be able t( overcome these difficulties.
 Among the many activities dealing with human relations of employed are legislation, safety, education, rec reation, "hiring and firing" discipline the wage system, pensions, sick bene fits. etc. This type of work altho comparatively new was tried to some extent before the war and wherever a service department was organized tt look after the human welfare of tht employed it was never discarded. Int tendency has been to take out of tho hands of superintendents and fore men authorized over the management of the personnel and place it il charge of a special department.
 The war, tho Council of Defense points out, has given great impetus tt this new department. France an( England earl discovered the impor tance of giving special attention t the psychology of their war worker and assigned specmialists to give ex elusive attention to the mental ane physical needs of these employed ii war plants.
 A specific instance is cited in tn, United States where two factorie were working on war contracts. Ont plant although paying lower wage than the other had a specialized em ployment service and had less labo troubles.
 The supply of men competent to d such work is wofully inadequate an if the work is to be established mel must be trained for it. The success o short time intensive training has bee demonstrated to government official by the results of the three months training course for army officers.

EAT OSTRICH EGGS AND
CRACK HIGH COST OF LIVING

Washington, Feb. 7.-Ostrich eggs
to reduce the war cost of food are
referred to in a report from United
States Consul John Dye, at Port
Elizabeth, South Africa. He says:
''Since the slump in the ostrich
feather market occurred in 1914,
making it Improbable to raise os-
triches for their feathers alone,
schemes have been devised in this
country to minimize the losses to
ostrich farmers, many of whom had
no other capital than their flocks.
The eggs of the ostrich have long
been a stable product on the market
of Port Elizabeth and other ostrich
centers, and have been mixed with
hens eggs by bakers in the manu-
facture of cakes and pastry. Lately
two sealed cans, each containing
twenty ostrich eggs in liquid form,
have been shipped to London as an
experiment. The results are awaited
with interest. In large quantities.
ostrich eggs are quoted at Port
Elizabeth at IA to Is cents each
One of these eggs weighs between
two and three pounds, and is equi-
va ent to about two dozen hens
eggs
