The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits a foreign nation finds it hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of a uni versa] language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal Ian guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited
 Central America or met the tribes
 men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns 1t in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held a conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and vet neither one knew word of the oth. CTS language. This universal Ian. guage is, of course, made up of signs

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books. like well-built houses. must have tradition behind them writes Henry Scdel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so well mo- where else. The little writers--hacks, who scntimentalize to the latest order, and display tleir plot novelties Ike bargains or an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ ence Is that their tradition goes back io books instead of life. Middle-sized suthors-the very good and the prob- ably enduring-are successful largely because they have grippcd tradition and followed 1t through to contem' porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanitv Tair." Howells h "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But back-touature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature boeks-are the most traditional of all, For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American suhconsciCusnesS

A Eairyland Mine.

To the n:ineraltgist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbec. .Ariz., has been for many years kind of fairy1and. yielding rare treasure in copper and lime minerals, of muth h variety and marvellous beauty of crystallizat tion and coloring. A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with 4talactites and stalagmites of delicate green and blue tints, was brought to the notice of Dr, E. o. Hovey before destruction by the miners, and this made possible the transfer of the section of the forma- tion that is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grotto thus preserved, in a space II feet high and 10 feet square, is lined with some 50 boxes Of carefully col lected and restored cave material, the outside being roughly built up of lime stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to a height of nearly If feet by water Grp- ping for an estimated period of G5.OO0 years.

Fresh Greens for the cararx.

Canaries are very fond of lettuce celery tops and othe- young and ten. der greens, as all birdlovers know When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con. trary to advice Is strong, for we sym. oathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, a little oirdseed was spilled on the earth in large tub containing rubber plant soon these seeds spmuted, usd we hit upon the idea of removing the bottorc Uom the cage and setting it over th> young sprouts. The joy the canaries round in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that the birds were really gaining in health and song con. Vlnced us that box of sproutinc bird seed was the thing to keep ou hand for them.-Exchange.

An Eight-Hour Day, Satur- day Half Holiday, Ade- auatc Meal and Rest Per- ] iods, Are Required to At-
 tain Efficiency.

"In view of the urgent necessity for prompt increase in the volume of production of nearly every article required for the conduct of the war, vigilance is demanded of all those in any way associated with industry lest the safeguards with which the people of this country have sought to protect labor should be unWlsely and unnecessarily broken down..
 This sentence sounds the keynote of the industrial policy of the two great divisions of the United States Army,-today placing numberless contracts of fabulous size and value -the Ordnance Department and the Quartermaster's Department. In general Orders No. 13.' from which this sentence is quoted, 1s- sued not long ago by the Ordnance Department and later adopted py the Quartermaster General, are sex forth in some detail the principles of this policy. and in no uncertain words the reason for it's existence
 "It is fair assumption" it goes on to say, that for the most part these safeguards are the mechaniSmS of efficiency. Industrial history proves that reasonable hours, fair Worklng conditions, and q proper wage scale are essential to high production.' Enlishtened patriotism, in other words, demands not that the work CTS shall work long hours at top speed for the least possible wages, but that for the sake of output they shall make a steady reasonable eX- penditurc of strength for reasonable length of time under proper cOnd1- tions. We have long heard these things demanded for the good of the asss, nerS, but now a new partnership N>.s; been formed. Efficiency and numanity go hand in hand.
 From the time of our entrance ln- to the war. the imnortance of con serving labor standards has been emphasized and re-emphasized by important officials in the govern ment. The President himself, in welcoming at the White House the British Labor Commission which visited this country last spring, said that "nothing would be more de- plorable" than "to set aside even temporarily the laws which have safeguarded the standards of labor and of life" when we are fighting in a cause which means the lifting Baker, as Chairman of the Council of Defense. in April of last year stated in letter addressed to the Igovernors of the states a resolution passed by the Council, That the lCouncil of National Defense urge tupon the legislatures of the states, las we'll as all administrative agencies charged with the enforce ,ment of labor and health laws, the 1great duty of maintaining the exist ling safeguards as to the health and welfare of workers. and that no de- lparture from such present stand lards in state laws or state rulings taffecting labor should be taken Etvithout the declaration of the 6Councn Of National Defense that hsuch, a. departure is essential for the 1AfseatsNax xpursnst of the national de-

fense." The Council has since strongly reaf1irmed this stand, and the Woman's Committee of the Council has taken, a,s it's official standards for the employment of women, the standards issued by the Ordnance Department as part of General Orders No. 13. The De- partments of Women in Industry of the Woman's Committee through out the country are doing and will do all in their power to put this en- dorsement into practical effect, with the cooperation of the Department oe Women in Industry of the Woman's Committee at Washing ton.
 What are these standards, and why are standards for working women of such inc importance 10 the nation at this time? Proper conditions oi women'a labor have always been of peculiar importance to the state. In peace times the

 Now as the war went on ,bo sickness returns showed an ;larm' ang increase. The general health n, the people was going down, lInE' days you must remember wero abandoned and the strain was ha. ginning to be felt. The Guvernmen, set up a committee compospd If employers, trade union representa. tlYes and government officials an Impartial tribunal. They came n ,o the unanimous decision that lonr hours and Sunday l;.bor were dis. astrous. not only to the health If the men and women, but to lhe efficiency of the service and they were unanimous in condemnins long hours. And we say wj1hon, hesitation, having reeard to that ex. perlence, that it is uneconomical, it is unWise and it is bad management to work men or women abnormally long hours because it does not pay in the end"
 Proper regulation cf hours alone. however, will not solve the problem, The Ordnance Department knows that it will not help production to limit hours if the men and women who work these hours are not se- nnrnd thn +ol sites of life-if they are hungry, poorly clothed and improperly housed. Therefore. it is urged that standards of wages already estab- Eshed in the industry and in the locality should not be lowered, "that minimum wage rates bear g constant relation to increases in the cost of living" and that, in the case of replacement of men by women. there should be equal pay for equal work. In justice to our soldiers at the front, the standards of the jobs they have le4 behind must not be lowered by these new recruits, who will. in increasing numbers, take their places in the industrial army.
 British official estimates state that since the war began, some L. 100000 women have directly replac- ed men, and some 600,000 are em' ployed directly on munitions. The replacement of men by women has. comparatively. not been extensive in the United States as yet. But day by day we hear of new occupations entered, and old ones extended' Women are the reserve labor power of the nation. and, if the war goes on, will inevitably be called into inc dustry in greater and greater nun" bers. Increasing demands will be made upon them, unwise sacrifices will without doubt be demandea. short-sighted attempts will be mado to break down labor laws. But oe' cause, in the light of Englands e1@ perience, and of our own best ln"l dustrial practice, we know that e1s nausted workers mean decreaseG: production,-and because in ths case of women workers, they mean, too, & deterioration of the race, fhe people of the country must DO on guard with that vigilance" oe, by it's Chief of Ordnanccs Hest the safeguards with which tns Is people of our country have sougas to protect labor should be unwssM and unnecessarily fsoksn eeH''
