THE UNREST OF AUSTRIA

We have no way of securing exact information from Austria where the unrest to be increas- ing The strict censorship of the press coun- try, and the paines taken by Germany to it that nothing unfavorable leaks out, render it i'm. possible for us to obtain the truth as to the conditions But the many rumors and reports creep. ing out of the country justify the that the unrest is of more than local importance
 It would be the height of folly for us to assume that the unrest will until the war is brought to an end in the future. Indeed, it would be criminal and suicidal upon part to assume any such thing We must straight ahead, preparing for long war, getting ready to face the most gigantic enemy have faced. The man who wants to wait to what happens in Austria. anywhere else is either a fool or trai. tor. But it is encouraging just the same to hear of the disturbed condition of affairs Austria to have even these rumors of revolt and riotng

ALARM CLOCKS

A contributor to an Eastern newspaper that the problem of the alarm clock has not yet been solved. He admits that there are alarm clocks that jangle until they awaken the neighbors, but he fellow soon becomes used to the dangling. What he wants is alarm clock that doesn't sound the same every morning-so fellow will not get used to it's tngling.
 He is correct in stating that person can get used to everything People who sleep by the side of railroad track become accustomed to the noise that a passing freight train doesn't disturb them is said that boys sleep soundly in the trenches and at the battle front, with shells exploding all around them and have been known to take pleas ant maps inside boilers that were being riveted.
 But the complainant overlooks point. What is really needed alarm clock at all, but some thing that will induce him to go to bed earlier, and thus unable him all the sleep that is re ouired He will not then become accustomed to the dangling of an alarm clock to such an extent that if will soothe him to pleasant slumbers instead of awakening him.

there now is a shortage in war work
OF 100000 unskilled laborers and
that the reserve of skilled workers is
exhausted developed today al a con-
ference of field agents of the federal

The labor shortage is so serious tina

that the only way in which the need

The time has come for the entire
nation TO realize that business as us

Smith, assistant director of the en-

"If we are to end the war quickly the
production of Injuries and none s-
sentials in this country must come to
an end. 1t is a question of ending the
war quickly or having it dragged on
indefinitely.
Manufacturers must give up the
creation of needless goods. workers
must lie willing to change from non
essential to war production even at a
hardship to themselves; the public
at large must stop buying Injuries
and thereby make the problem OF
| curtailing non essentials easier"
Indication of how the non essential
may be combed out was given today
when the community labor board of
