MAKING THE OFFICE PAY

For the business man who wants
practical, profit-making ideas to APP
ply in his office, Making the Of
flee Pay" just issued by the A. w
Shaw Company Of Chicago, is one
of the strongest works along this
line we have yet seen. 1t lacks en-
tirely any Atmosphere of theory
or conjecture, and its 1872 largc-size
pages are crowded with tested plans,
methods, and systems that make for
better everyday office results.
Actual investigation made possible
the compilation of these plans and
methods. Hundreds of offices were
visited and many hundreds of plans
were siftcd out to secure those which
appear in the text. More than zoo
illustrations complete the helpful
ness of the work.
With chapters OH hiring and train
ing office help, better working con
ditions, shortcut accounting, and so
on, the text practically amounts to
a complete. up-to-date office pract-
ice. w. II. L~effingwell, author of
Scientific Office Management" and
well-known efficiency engineer is
the editor. The price, bound in
cloth, is 81.

LABOR AND FREE TRADE

Can Mr.. Compers tie American
labor to the chariot of international
Free Trade?
He tried to do that at Laredo,
Texas, international labor conference.
His other four propositions seem
reasonable.
But when MI. Compers attempts
to crusade for his free trad. belief
BY declaring that organized labor in
America wants a plank in the peace
agreement to prohibit any or all
political or economic restrictions
meant simply to benefit some ma
tions and to cripple or embarrass
Others" he goes beyond the bounds
Of his authority and influence.
II is a serious matter for Mr..
Compers to speak for organized lab
or on that issue. He has no more
right to do that than he would have
TO say that organized labor must
vote to a man for a certain political
party.
American citizens, union or nom
union, want American standard OF
wages and living to be maintained.
II is inevitable, hat some Of the
abnormal wages now paid in war in
dustries will have to come down. But
il is to the national welfare that the
general range of wages in non-war
industries shall be maintained.
The Spokane Spokesman Review,
Progressive, says: These wages
can not continue if we throw open
the markets Of this country to the
fierce competition that is coming with
the laying down of arms. American
manufacturers and products made and
produc I under American high stand
ards of wages and living can not
stand under open competition with
manufacturers and products created
BY the lover standards &C Europe
ard the yet lower standards of
China and Japan"

THE PUBLIC HEALTH

Up to date New Mexico mourns
the loss of 258 of her sons who have
died on the field of battle, or from
wounds or disease while fighting for
the cause OF democracy against the
forces of the Beast of Berlin.
We were at war from April, 1917
to October, 1918 inclusive, a period OF
nineteen months. Basing our cal
culations on the estimates of the
Children's Bureau of the Department
of Labor of the Federal Government
in the absence of actual figures in as
much as New Mexico has no reliable
records of vital statistics, there were
20l9 helpless little children between
birth and five years Of age died in
New Mexico during the same period
most OF them OF preventable disease,
War is a terrible thing but the
indifference that permits the death
ly in a state with SO small a popula-
ton as New Mexico's is still more
appalling.
While tuberculosis in the United
States generally is said to be slight
ly on the decrease, it is known to
be on the increase in this state.
especially among the native people.
The fact that of the first 200 New
MeXicans discharged from the army
on count of tuberculosis. oD
have names indicating them to be of
Spanish origin, places it beyond
doubt that this dread disease is very
prevalent among our Spanish-Ameri-
can population.
1t is "a matter of record that the
death rate from tuberculosis among
the Indian, in New Mexico is over
twice that OF the average in the Reg
|istration Area and that disease is
estimated TO cause over 800 deaths

nually in our State.
Probably we will never know the
extent OF the toll taken from our
citizens during the influenza epidem-
ic, but records compiled by Surgeon
lohn w. Kerr OF the United States
Public Health Service during the
time he was in the State showed
upwards of 10000 cases and over g.
OGO deaths. DR.. Kerr estimated that
UP to the time he left the state
late in November there had been
at least $1,000 cases and a proper
donate number Of deaths. In many
cases entire families and in some
cases small communities were com-
plctcly wiped out.
Concerning the prevalence of
disease in general throughout the
state, the case of a small settlement
in Valencia County may be cited as
typical of many of the less enlight-
cned communities. Among this
small group of people who today
number about 800 souls all told, 100
cases of small pox occurred in 1914,
In 1915 they had an epidemic OF
