Once upon a time there was a man
who said, Il will work no more, and
God will take care of me-" And so he
gave away all he had and sat down to
wait for God to take care of him.
After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But in the dis
lance he saw some horses laden with
packs which he knew contained food
to eat. And SO he grew so hungry that
he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the fOOd-laden
horses. They led him a fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day,
and there he found food that had been
left over.

OF The Vigl0ntes

II had to hire them for my farm be

boring farmers who borrowed some OF
them later hated to admit that they
! were more efficient than man workers.
=. but had to-"
The farmer who wrote those words
employed 25 girls last summer to get
in his crops, some of them girls from
the seasonal trades" out of job,
others students or college graduates
out for vacation, but few, if any, of
them experienced farm hands. He
made two important discoveries. First,
that they were good workers. Second,
that this kind of work was good for
women, and as this farmer is none
other than Doctor Sargent, the direc-
tor of physical training, he ought to
know.
He adds that he did not have q
chance to try them at blowing or heavy
work, though they can do that too, but
at other kinds of farm work he found
them in all ways the equal and in some
ways the superior of men. They do
not average as strong as men, though
in proportion to their weight they are,
but they made up in care and thorough
ness what they lacked in theft" and
they did not loaf on the job when the
boss was not looking. Women are
nearly always more conscientious than

The WOman's Land Army of Amer
lea is still new thing in most parts
Of the country, but it has come to stay
and the sooner the farmers of America
get that idea through their heads and
live down their Old-fashiOned preju-
dice against this ''new-fangled notion"
the better for them and for the coun-
try. Every man released from the farm
means one more man for the army
or for other war work not done by
women.
A year ago almost every farmer in
the country shared this impractical
and unpatriotic prejudice. Such preju-
dices die hard. All our prejudices
about women die hard. will give an
amusing illustration. Last summer u

and it depends for it's existence upon
the goodwill, the brotherly equality,
the fair play of all concerned. When
this fundamental intention of right
dealing has been replaced by a pride
that desires to crush and drive other
men, there can be no peace, no matter
how many agreements may be signed.
When goodwill has been banished
and peace has fled. the only way to
end the trouble which governments
can use. is to max" an effectual con-
quest of the offender.

MEETING THE
EMERGENCY
r.
By VIVIAN M. MOSES
OF The TigiL0ntes

When H. G. Wells called the present
war the war of machines he had in
mind the vast quantities of engines of
war used at the front-the ordnance,
both large and small, the bOmb-mOr-
| tars and mine-thrOwers, gas-prOjectOrs,
airplanes and tanks employed in the
actual fighting. But there is another
sense in which this is the war of ma
! chimes even more truly than that in
which the great British novelist used
| the term: for ON the machines in the
shops and factories of the allied ma
tons depends an allied victory-On
the machines and the men who drive
them.
AS has been the case with each of
her allies, the United States since 1t
entered the war has had to increase
stupendously the output of it's machine
shops. This result is being accom-
plished by the erection of new plants,
by the enlargement and increase in ia.
cilities of the shops already engaged
in the production of war products, and
by the conversion to this purpose of
plants previously engaged in other
work. The problem of multiplying the
shops to work in is comparatively
simple one; more difficult is the prob
lem of supplying the skilled workmen
to fill these shops.
Obviously we cannot quadrupie our
skilled workmen by the old methods of
apprenticeship and training fast
enough to meet the nations needs.
The old method has been found want
ing. 1t consisted in taking the raw,
unskilled labOrer into the shop. start
ing him at the simplest work that
could be found, and letting him fight
his way slowly and painfully to the
status OF a trained mechanic. 1t was
a method which wasted the three pre-
cious elements. time, material and
man-rower.
New Way Was Found.
The training accomplished by pri-
vate and public vocational and tech
meal schools brings far better results,
but produces too small quantity of
skilled mechanics to meet the emer-
gency.
France found new way. Great
Britain has adopted it. And now
America must get in line-is already
getting in line, in fact. with gratifying
results. For the new method is swift,
is sure, is comparatively cheap. 1t
turns the grocer boy or the school
teacher into a skilled mechanic with
equal facility. 1t is the method of
the shop training school.

SEEMED TO UPSET THEORY
Meat Eater Had No Chance at All
With Vegetarian Supposed to Be
Meek and Lowly.

Many Of the things we are quite sure
of are probably not true. For instance,
one cannot rely upon the theory that
the diet controls the man-that the
vegetarian is, by virtue Of his diet,
meek and docile, while the confirmed
and habitual meat eater is ferocious
animal when aroused.
Mr.. Brandon, in our block, is a con-
sistent vegetarian-nOt only believes
in it, but urges the merits Of his sys-
TEN upon his friends. He was ecstatfc
about the fine, tender spinach he was
permitted to enjoy. and made the
neighbOrs weary singing its praise,
says writer IN the Seattle Post Intel
ligencer.
Well, yesterday morning when l
slipped over to pay my meat bill. Mr..
Brandon was wrangling with the
butcher about his account. 1t appears
there was cipher too much in his to-
tai. or something-it was SO and Bran
don thought 1t should be 81. Well. any
way. the butcher lost his temper and
called Brandon liar. and you ought
to have seen that vegetarian land on
the butcher! He banged him first on
one side of the face and then on the
other, slammed him down in a corner
and kicked him in the ribs; 1t looked
like he was intending to take the
butcher apart when the help inter-
fered.
If man can work up that sort of
action on spinach, radishes and gra-
ham gems, why should anybody buy
meat? And another thing, what was
the ferocious meat eater doing while
the vegetarian was at work on him?
Nothing, absolutely nothing! No. in
deed; he didn't even have time to get
It seems to be plain that
this theory Of vegetarian docility has
got to be revised.
