ELIMINATION OF =.
MEN|AL SERVANTS
DURING WAR Time
Is Urged By Prof. veb|en, Who
Suggests Heavy Federal Tax
i: To Release Labor.

NEW YORK. June 20.-Elimina-
ton Of menial servants during the
war, thus releasing hundreds of thou
sands of men and women for neces-
sary service and greatly reducing the
consumption of superfluities, is urged
by Prof. Thorstein Veblen, professor
of economics at the University of
Missouri, author of 1.-The Theory of
the Leisure Glass;" and a member of
the statistical division Of the food ad-
ministration.
In the Public, New York, Veblen
proposes a government tax on en-
ployers of menial servants, beginning
with 100 per cent of the wages Of the
lowest paid servant, and increasing to
zoo per cent of the wages of the Sec
ond lowest paid servant, 800 per cent
of the third, and so on.
Much Labor Wasted.
Says Veblen: I'm the production
and competitive sale of superfluities,
we'll as in their decent consumption,
very large aggregate of labor is en-
ployed; at the same time that labor
power is urgently needed for produce
tive use in industries necessary to the
prosecution of the war. It would be
hazardous to offer an estimate of the
total volume of labor which is so de-
voted to deliberate waste, but no man
doubts that the total is very large
Not all of this wasted labor force is
suitable for use in the war industries
And yet there is little of it that can
not be used to good effect; partly by
direct participation in useful industry,
partly by substitution to displace
other workmen who are fit for useful
work.
Servants Property Proof.
''The chief use of mental servants
is to put in evidence their employers
ability to pay. This invidious use of
their services commonly masquerades
under the profession that they min
lister to the creature comforts of their
masters. But it is plainly the spiritual
comfort, the sense of elf-compla-
cency and invidious distinction, that
is catered to by this class of service,
rather than the physical well-being
of the employers. 1t is the better
classes that employ mental servants
better in point of social prestige.
Servants have prestige value as
the economists would call it: This
prestige value, which represents the
output of such, work, IS a matter of
invidious distinction. It is altogether
Of the nature of spiritual or intangi-
bic product; something in the way of
a pleasure ble@ state :of mind on the
Fart of the employer; an article Of
psychic income.'"

HOW GOOD ICE MAY BE
ASSURED FOR FARMS BY
USING NATURES SUPPLY

To have good ice on your farm be
sure the supply Of water is pure. Clear
the pond or stream Of vegetable mat
ter; otherwise it will be frozen in the
ice. Protect the water supply from
drainage from communicating sources
such as privies, barnyards. and refuse
heaps. Keep the ice surface clear of
snow, as it retards freezing.
Mark off the surface into cakes OF
the desired size, being sure that the
lines form rectangles. Cut out a strip
of ice the width of the cake desired.
Force this strip under the surface
of the ice field, thus opening a chan
mel to the landing. Saw off large
cakes and float them to the landing,
where they may be cut into smaller
cakes.
For the average farm the only tools
needed are two saws, two pairs OF
tongs, two ice hooks, one pointed bar,
one straight board for marking.
Where cream only is to be cooled,
allow at least one-half ton of ice per
COW in estimating the size of the ice
house you need. For cooling milk
allow one and a half tons per cow
These quantities should be enough to
leave a margin for household use; but
it is better too have too much than toe
little. Whenever practicable, build the
ice house in the form Of a cube. AL.
low as cubic feet of space for each
ton Of ice.
Locate the ice house in a shady place
near the dairy house, and where there
is good natural drainage. If wate1
from the melting ice is not removed
melting will proceed at a more rapie
rate. If the house is built on sloping
porous ground, natural drainage viii
be sufficient; but if or clay soil, ar
tificial drainage should be provided.
Use plenty of insulation. If saw
dust or mill shavings are used, SCI
that they are dry. Commercial in
~sulation is more efficient and durable
than either but is. more expensive
Wooden houses insulated with sawdus
or mill shavings should be ventilated
Houses with commercial insulation
and a cement finish need no ventila
ton.
The dairy division, United State
department of agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c., has further information
about ice houses and the use of ice o.
the dairy farm. Don't wait till tn
last minute, or you may be too late
AS soon as fall work is done, begi1
preparations for storing ice.

HOW WAR CUTS ROAD WORK

Indicating how the wartime policy
of restricting highway construction to
projects of military or great econom-
ic importance has been enforced, the
bureau of public roads announces that
from the day in January, 1918, when
the secretary of agriculture called up
on the states to conserve money, Ia
Dor, transportation. and materials as
far as possible, to September 30, the
payments on federal-aid post-road
projects aggregated $852,943.84, or
less than one-thirtieth of the amount
which theoretically could have been
paid in that period. In the admins
~tration of the federal-aid road act,
Sol projects, involving construction
of 1918 miles. at a total estimated
cost Of $50, 673 1893. IA, of which fed
eral aid comprised $19, 843,315.02, were
approved by the secretary of agricul-
ture in the period from July II, 1916,
when the act became effective, to Oc-
tober l. 1918. The total amount OF
federal aid available for administra-
tive purposes was $29, 100, 900.
