There are vast tracts of cut-over pine lands in the south and those in Alabama are especially suitable for farming. Of wonderful economic value would be the carrying out of Secretary Lanes plan, for thousands of soldiers settled on small farms in Alabama would add immeasurably to the productive possibilities and wealth of the state.

By Joyce Kilmer
 I think that shall never see A poem lovely as tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair;
 Upon whose bosom snow has lain Who intimately livea with rain. Poems are made by fools like me.

One of the strange things which found as boy at school in private school in Paris was that the French boys learned their lessons in the same way that some of our forefathers used to learn theirs in the old district schools. for they studied them aloud in sing song fashion, that sounded nlore like a music than a literary class.

State director of the Public Service
Reserve, United States Department of
Labor, for the State of Washington.
In an appeal to the loyal people of the
State of Washington, he writes:
utilization of our man power to
the fullest extent is going to be the
deciding factor in winning the war.
president Wilson. in his address to
the State directors of the Public Ser

Employment Service, at the close Of
their conference in Washington a
short time ago, said:
"The raising of an armed force is
relatively easy, but the mobilization
of the industrial army is infinitely
more difficult"
I'VE have just two classes of citi.
zens in the United States in time of
war. The first class volunteer, or, at
least, respond promptly on call for
service in the Army or Navy, or they
are now engaged on useful work. The
other class includes those who would
prefer to lend aid to the enemy, then
comes the Stacker and common loafer.

PREVENTING INDUSTRIAL
ACCIDENTS
Education of Workmen to be Cautious
is Most Effective Means of
lnsuring Safety

By educating workmen, industrial
accidents can be largely prevented,
according to c. w. Price. field secre-
tary of the National Safety Council.
Speaking before an audience in Sc
attic Wash, recently, Mr.. Price said
Education of the workingman has
prevented about Sc per cent of the ac-
cidents usual in certain plants. About
one-third can be controlled by me-
chanical provisions. The manager
and superintendent of plant must
believe thoroughly in the safety-frst
movement; foremen also must uphold
it,"
1t was pointed out that in every
plant there should be man who
studied safety methods and had pow
er to apply them. Mr.. Price declared
also that every plant should tell by
word and picture on bulletin board
all minor accidents and that a com
mittee of workingmen should be ap
pointed to investigate and report on
all accidents.

REDUCING SHIPYARD
ACCIDENTS
Less of Labor Power Through Injury
will Soon, 1t is Hoped, Be Made
Almost Negligible

So successful have been the pre-
vention methods introduced in ship
yards that within few months, it is
expected, the percentage of accidents
in such places will be much lower than
in most private employments. The
Department of Labor has received fig
ures showing what has been done.
Already accidents have been re-
duced to a point far below the figures
for days preceding the war, and the
campaign is still progressing. In one
month at Hog Island, for example
there were only 107 accidents among
20, 4O7 employees.
