ATTEMPTS MADE HINDER
 MODIFYING PORTO RICANS

San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct , Cor respondcnce of The Associated Press.) An attempt to prevent or impede the mobilization of Porto Rican labor CTS for transportation to the main land for work in war industries has been discovered by the United States Emplovmtnt Office in San Juan. Special Aegnt Roberts declares such action is directly against the vital in- terests of the nation and that if the persons responsible are found out they will be severely daelt with by the Fed eral authorities.
 The fact that 5000 Porto Rican workmen have already left the is- land and that many more may leave has aroused resentment and opposi- tion and an effort to discourage men from joining the outgoing army of workers has been going on for at least a couple of weeks.
 In one large town where two weeks ago last Sunday it as arranged to hold mass meeting to explain to the laborers the purpose for which they were sent north an dthe treatment they would receive. it is said that the agents employed by the sugar men of the vicinity were out offering all the cane workers s1.5O to continue work during the entire day. Recent ly the assistant examiners in C,lay- anna stated that the work of fillinc the quota was being held backcby the discouraging reports and accounts of the war work disseminated among the men.
 Ut is the kind of thing that the l. w. w. has been charged with do- ing in the mainland says Mir. Ro- berts.

RIVETING IMPROVES
Hog Island Shipbuilders Gaining Ell.
ficiency Rapidly, as Is Shown
by Weekly Gang Records

Hog Islands experience has shown
that riveting can be steadily improved
even by the experienced journeymen
riveters, provided the men realize the
necessity for consistent and sustained
effort in turning out work.
In the month of October, the aver
age number of rivets driven per hour
by the gangs at the yard advanced al
most steadily from 10 to 26, and even
the student riveters improved their
average from II or IL an hour to 16.
The best record in an October week
was made by Yard Number 8, with
an average drive of $3.50 rivets an
hour for each gang. Yard Number 10
followed close with an average of 8;
rivets each hour.
Increased efficiency on the part of
the riveters will soon, it is believed at
the yard, lead to the fulillment of
Mr.. Schwabs prediction that Hog Is
land would eventually be driving
100000 rivets a day.

"DON'TS, FOR
CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
(By a Store Man,

Don't enter a store unless you
know what you are going for.
Don't ask the salesman to show you
goods unless you have intentions OF
making purchase.
Don't take up the time of a sales
man with idle talk, family history,
etc.
Don't be unreasonable in your
wants. The salesman is only human
like yourself.
Don't bring your children in the
store and amuse them by trying gar.
ments on them; these garments cost
money.
Don't think that the clerk is lying
to you when you are making a pur-
chase. 1t may be your ignorance that
keeps you from approaching the
truth.
Don't think that you are the only
customer to be waited upon; Others
may be waiting on the salesman who
is serving you; therefore release him
promptly.
Don't think because you have more
money than some others that your
dollar is worth more than another's;
it is only worth one hundred cents,
just like the other fellows dollar.
Don't tell the salesman how much
cheaper you can buy goods in New
York, Chicago or any other city. In
the first place you are here; and in
the second place you are wasting your
breath as the salesman does not take
any stock in idle talk.
Don't be grouchy; don't be a crank.
don't be unreasonable But be pleas
ant, be patient, be considerable, be
reasonable, and then you will get the
best result in your shopping expedi-
ton.

THE SUNSHINE OF PEACE

This world has been upside down
Mankind has been killing off its best
lives of young men instead of con
serving them. See the wealth it has
been shooting away in the roar o:
battle. Many hands have contributed
to destruction. The wheels of prog
ress have been blocked. It's attitude
toward about everything has met with
a marvellous change, even the thoughts
have been greatly twisted and warped.
This present peace we hear about at
this time finds nearly the whole world
III a chaos. We are now facing q
new beginning and we may expect
revolution in larger or smaller de-
gree and old King Solomon with al
bis wisdom would, l believe, fail ut
terly to predict the final outcome, or
to say where and how far we should
go, but with all the confusing and
uncertainty Americas duty seems
clear, so let the new house be built
wisely and we'll and permanent. This
house should be planned to comply
with every one as of common fam
lly-no cramping should enter into
it, whatever. 1t would be, I think, very
short-sighted to build in such man
ner as to divide up the family with a
part in the house proper, another
part in the woodshed. What we sim
ply have to do l believe is to sweep |
aside all the garbage of hate that has
been gathered through the war and
now that the smoke of battle is no
more seen on the blackened windows
and doors, let's now go ahead and
repaint in colors of the best beauty
possible; have it SO dedicated that al;
may learn that right is ever nigh.
and must and shall prevail now in
peace as well as II did IN war. Amer q.
lea pays an awful share in the great
est conflict ever known on earth in
the loss of thousands of our best
young men and the enormous treas
ure, and we should remember that
Germany, Belgium, Austria and Ser
bia have to start the rebuilding with
little or nothing. And here is where
America can prove up that as PEG
pie they are ready to extend the glad
hand and tide over these devasteG
I think this will be done
showing to all the world that this is
.ruly the land to succor anud help the
Door and the forlorn hope. n
Sincerely, W. S. B. II

A TOAST TO THE FLAG
By John Jay DAILY
or tho Uto;Iorfa.

By John Jay Daily
OF the vigilantes..
Here's to the Red Of it.
There's not a thread of 1t,
No, not a shred of it
In all the spread of 1t
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for il,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it.
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
But feels the might Of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for 1t,
Purity's prayer for it
Keeps it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it
Beauteous view of it,
Heavenly hue of it,
Star-spangled dew of it,
Constant and true.
States stand supreme for it,
Diadems CLEAN for it,
Liberty's beam for it
Brightens the Blue.
~
Here's to the whole of it.
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Body and soul of it;
on to the goal of it,
Carry it through.
Home or abroad for it, :"
Unsheath the sword for it,
Fight in accord for it,
RED, WHITE and BLUE!

THE MORNING READING.

Get up early and read your
morning paper. when your mind
is clear and your heart is warm
Then is the only time to catch a
true impression Of the events
that are going on. A person
can think better in the morning
than in the evening; and one
may not know it, but it is fact
that reading a newspaper is en-
titled to the best intellect a per-
son has. Then is when he gets
his views of life and acquires
some idea of his own duty to
society. The morning paper
comes with the fresh air OF the
morning, when nature is at its
best and truth has a chance.
Don't say you have no time to
read the paper in the morning.
Make time. That is possible for
every man who feels his life Is
worth anything. It is possible,
also, if you notice right closely,
that the best thinkers in a COM
munity are those who read their
newspapers in the morning.

4. Trained attendants.
5. Practical Nurses.
6. Midwives.
I. Women who have taken Red Gross

Prince Georges County Chapter will
carry out this Survey through its
auxiliaries. 1t is very important that
every person in any of the above class
es shall fill out the questionable at
once. Will you help in this work by
appointing committee without delay
who will make a complete survey Of
your neighborhood? A house to house
canvass is advised as the most thorough
way. In order that no nurse of any

that each Auxiliary arrange with ad-
