Labor Commissioner Hoff has written

Secretary Wilson of the department of
labor concerning conditions affecting
labor in the ship yards of this state. He
calls attention to the many accidents
occurring due to an insufficient number
of safety guardsmen or overseers - for
the ships in course of construction, to
protect and promote the safety of both
workmen and ships. He calls attention
to the fact that the sac has no funds
available for this purpose and suggests
that it should be done by the federal
government. He places his office at the
disposal of the federal department for
the purpose of carving out this work.

The January Crisis has the follow.
Ing editorial on the punishment of
the Houston soldiers:
They have gone to their death.
Thirteen young. strong men; soldiers
who have fought for a country which
never was wholly theirs; men born
to suffer ridiculc injustice aud at
last, death itself. They broke the
law. Against their pun shment, if it
was legal, we cannot protest. But we
can protest and we do protest against
the shameful treatment which these
men and which we, their brothers, re
ceive all our lives, and which our
fathers received, and our children
await; and above all we raise our
clenched hands against the hundreds

On last Tuesday morning thirteen
Negro soldiers were hanged at Hous
ten, Texas, by the verdi of court
martial, for the Houston riot last
August. Would it could have been
otherwise. American prejudice and
disobedienco to orders caused this
bloody splotch on the American sol.

toward hanging be q lesson to color

would scarcely be measured such fate

FRENCH CANT USE CORN MEAL

Perhaps no one question Is more
often asked than this. "Why can't the
French use corn meal as we'll as we?"
There are several reasons why the
United States does not ship corn meal
to France. In the first place, the
largo amount Of fat in corn meal con
tributes to its food value, but also do.
tracts from its keeping qualities. The
fat is likely to grow rancid in the pas
sage.
Second, tho United States does not
send the whole corn to France be-
cause France has no mills to grind it..
Third tho French, for years have not
done any baking at home, ara so
they have no household equipment
for that sort OF work.
1t doesn't take much Imagination
Tor tho American housewife to realize
what Il difficult undertaking II would
be i'll the midst of war and :.uffering
and the general upset of every kind
