As the "Antis" See 1t

The House of Commons by an over
whelming majority has done something
which, as everybody knows, an over
whelming majority of the House of
Commons detests. 1t has decided to
admit women into Parliament No
doubt the bill will be prepared and
passed forthwith. 1t does not inccease
our opinion Of the House Of Commons
which, to be quite candid, did not
stand very high before-that the pros
pect of general election and some
millions of women voters should have
inclined the minds Of it's members to a
resolution which they would otherwise
have rejected. Nor is it seemly that
when the manhood of this country is
showing in the most dramatic manner
the differences in the liabilities of citi-
zenship the stay-at- homes should steal
such march on their brothers in the
field. The fighting man knows that the
basis Of citizenship rests on the power
to defend it, and he has to defend the
freedom not only of himself but of his
sisters. If the final liability is with
him the final decision should also be
with him.-London Morning Post.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-16
Our Responsibility to Russia

The Allied governments cannot BE-
acquitted from their share of blamo
for the Russian Terror. Frome tbs
outset they should have recognized Bol-
shevsm for the unclean thing it is
They should never have dalled for
moment With the Bolshevist leaders
who made no secret Of their desire n
shatter the structure Of civilization
The semi diplomatic mission sent to
them by Great Britain was foolish
device which should never have been
attempted. The broadest count in tba
lrng Indictment against Germany Is
that she tried to undermine the founda-
tons of freedom and justice on which
human society is based. The crime Of
the Bolshevists IS of precisely similar
character; only they set about it from
another angle of approach The word
cannot allow the broad territories OF
Russia to remain much longer d scene
of wholesale massacre and loot. To
leave her in her present condition
would be as great danger to the
future peace of the world as would be
the emergence from the present strife
of a Germany triumphant and still
militant.-London Times

Girls Who Are Sacrificed

While we arc devoting much and
just attention to the young men who
dropped their profitable employments
to enter the army and bear the ma
tlon's burden, we must not lose sight
Of the fact that il was not men
alone who sacrificed the privileges
of peace.
Thousands Of girls and women, ex-
pert stenographcrs and proficient in
hundreds of clerical ways, gave up
comfortable places to turn their abil-
ity to the purposes of the govern
ment. How are they to stand in the
demobilization and Encouragement Of
employment? Are they to shift for
them selves or are their patriotic ac-
tions to be rewarded and they safe
guarded?
We are properly invoking the ma
tional strength in the project of set
ting, each soldier in as good a job
as the one he left. We must surely
employ the same means in providing
for the stenographer who resigned
from a secure place so that she might
do all in her power for victory. MANY
of the men in service were assigned
to clerical regiments and thus set at
tasks no more important than the
tasks assigned to girls. Of course,
the men were nuearer the front and
their work attended by more danger.
But the sacrifice was no greater.
therefore. we plead for some assur-
ance for the girls They have been
soldiers Of the republic and they are
entitled to the treatment accorded a
veteran.-Chicago Tribune.

Cellar Wintering of Bees

The cellar wintering Of bees is prac
tcable in Connecticut, and if strict at
tention is paid to a few important
points satisfactory results should fol-
low, says Lloyd r. Watson,- specialist
in bee culture for the Extension Ser
vice of Connecticut Agricultural Col
legc, at Storrs.
Bees which are to be placed in a eel
lar should be provided with fifteen to
twenty-five pounds Of the best honey
of the season. Poor quality stores may
sometimes do for bees wintered out of
doors, but never should anything but
the best honey be depended upon for
cellar wintering, according to Mr.. Wat
son. Dextrin occurs in most autumn
honeys and in most dark honeys, ex
cept buckwheat, and renders them unfit
for food unless the bees are allowed
cleansing flight occasionally, such as
may occur if the wintering is done out
of doors. In the cellar the bees must
remain in the hive continuously from
the stores in the hive is in doubt, which
is usually the case, it is a wise pre-
caution to feed at some time in No
vember about five pounds of granulated
sugar. The bees will place this in a
circle around the brood nest and will
consume it during the first part of the
winter. thus leaving poorer stores till
toward the end Of their long confne-
ment.
A suitable cellar for bees is one in
which the temperature does not fall
much lower than fortv-five degrees. It
must be absolutely dark and quiet and
it should be fairly dry-Bulle of

In Sixteen Sections
The sidewalk beam fitting, which.
after all, looks like nothing more than
a small iron framework, must be made
by careful workmen and several times
examined by skilled inspectors. On the
perfect material and Workmanship of
the sixteen sections depend the work
of the plane and the lives of its occu-
pants. Seventy-fve operations and
about half as many inspections must
take place before the fitting can find
its place in the sky. Even the cost of
$lO0 seems very little compared with

ting has to pass through the following
preparation before it loses its identity
by the welding: A piece of steel must
be cut out large enough to make the
part. The exact outline is stamped. If
the material and stamping arc perfect
the inspector allows the work to pro-
coed. A pilot hole located from a
hardened steel pattern is drilled and
buried. Again the inspector must eX-
anime the work. The necessary ears
and angles are formed and the part is
placed with others for final inspec-
tion before welding And again it is
inspected after Welding and after in
stallation.
The story of complete inspection is
the story of these two parts multiplied
indefinitely. Only by such care can de-
pendable aircraft be constructed.

1t does not show nerve to round

1t does not show the courage of
man who would "go over the top' first
to pass oncoming cars with margin
of three or four inches.
Remaining half way over in the
course of the oncoming car till it is
close to you IN order to see what the
other driver will do is no indication
of bravery.
The fact that you "like to step on
her just to see what the old boat will
do" along crowded thoroughfare
where there are several cross streets
does not make your companions sure
that you would risk trip into No

Capital and Labor
Body to Readjust
England's Business
PLAN Outlined Would De-
termine Life of War Work
and Decide the Nature
of Production Thereafter
NeW Yorh r rib u n g

FOFe'Uh iTcSS bureau
England, of course, finds herself con-
fronted with the same problems as
does this country Of changing indus
trially from u war to a peace basis.
In England the following plan has been
outlined for making the change:
First we must instruct all producers
to go through the postwar orders on
their books, and also determine how
Tar they can manufacture for stock.
They must then make out lists of ma
terials required and the order in which
they shou be delivered and from
whom they used to purchase. Next
there must be appointed in each manu-
facturing district throughout the coun~
try body Of labor and business men
with adequate local knowledge and
endowed with the necessary powers
lndcr the ministry's general direction
to
I. Go into the case of each producer
and determine how long he must con-
tlnue his war contracts and how soon
and in what order he can switch over
to peace products without serious un-
employment.
2. Value and settle on behalf of the
government the price Of partly finished
work. and what, if any, compensation
should be paid in each case to clear up
contracts.
3. Allocate raw material to manu-
tacturers on the basis more of mini
nizing the dislocation of labor than
upon the necessity for the goods to be
produced
q. Distribute orders for raw mate
rials among producers as generally in
dicated by those requiring them. and
as directed by the Ministry of Muni-
tions on plan which shall. as far as
practicable, result in the most economic
production by keeping works on limited
classes of kinds and sizes.
5. Advise manufacturers what classes
C. articles are being produced else
where, so as to avoid as much as pos
sible overproduction and unnecessary
competition.
6. Keep in touch with the govern
ment departments interested, and by
periodical meetings of representatives
from other districts coordinate and
balance their activities as much as
