young giant Of the West and how
American democracy was raising men,
money and supplies to end the war. He
has what so many really brave men
have a modesty that amounts almost
to shyness.> And amid his cares he has
retained his sense of humor. With
twinkle OF the eyes and gentle laugh
be told me many stories OF his verbal
encounters with his American dentist"

FOR MAYOR"
SAYS WARE ON TAX
Senator Frankly Admits City's
Chief Magistrate, Not He,
Desired 1919 Rate

Senator Ware who, for more than II
week was given credit for declaring
the 1919 rate shall not be higher
than at present. now frankly admits
that he merely acted as spokesman for
Mayor Smith and not in his capacity
as the leading political power Of the
Administration.
This declaration followed a statement
by Mayor Smith hat he six months ago
told Senator Vare that the tax rate
would have to be reduced and that he
would not. under any conditions, stand
for an increase.
In speaking Of his action in an
nouncing a possible reduction to the
real estate men Of the city, Senator Ware
THE Mayor is not stealing credit
from me In his plan to lower the tax
rate" said the Senator. He deserves
all the credit. l have don nothing but
carry out the suggestions he made some
time ago both to me and Chairman
Gaffney, of Councils Finance Commit
tee. When the real estate men came
to me l merely passed on the Mayors
word that the tax rate would be de-
creased. The Mayor took the initial
steps. o may say this: Give Mayor
Smith all the credit for this move"

WELFARE OF WORKERS
MODEL FOUNDRY IDEA
Pusey & Jones Co. Introduces
Innovations at Its
New Plant

Comfort for the shipworkers is receiv-
ing special consideration in the erection
OF a model foundry at the Wilmington
plant of the Pussy & Jones Company.
One of the principal features for the
men is the washroom with It's rows Of
showers. Another is a drying room,
where the employees can dry out their
clothing in. a short time. Each man is
to have a private locker for clothing and
tools.
The new building will be about three
times the size of. that 1t replaces. The
casting floor will have an area Of about
1856 square fest, n safety devices
are to be installed. La~bor-saving de-
vices to 20 into the building can be de-
pended IN. 1t is said. to speed up pro-
auction at a great rate. One Of these
will be for treating and grinding sand
In preparing Y for the molds. The sand
will be conveyed by an endless belt to a
egHllery, from which it will pass directly
&to the TASKS by means of special spouts.
Large cranes will be one of the notable
Improvements. Travelling electric cranes
will replace the old ones operated by
steam. Special runways and doors will
enable the cranes to run out into the
yard some distance, facilitating the
movement of materials to and from the
foundry. Large electrically operated
trucks, with platforms that move up or
down on the sides, will be used in han
ding pig iron and coke and also for
moving castings from the foundry to the
machine shops n storage department.

friends that the safest place to meet Is right
At the depot. or. better still. right on the

tri-colored carpet rag was spirited
n ball bringing the goodly sum of
$3.50. With such a spirit DISPLAYED
by the community and through the ef.
ficient au%ctioneering of Mr.. Barnett
the total sum of s84.10 was raised for
the Junior Red Cross work. OF course
the most credit for this notable result
is to be given to the men present who
were generous and brisk in the bidding
for the rag balls. One of the interest
ing events of the evening was the sell.
ing Of a cake made and donated by
the girls Of the school, which was cut
into fourteen pieces and sold for near;y
eleven dollars.
This school being so close to the
city we feel a little personal pride in
the teacher and pupils who were able
to carry out such a successful benefit
for the glorious work of the Red Cross.
Miss Mabel Blakeslee, teacher, is en-.
titled to great credit for this splendid
showing.

we should count ourselves fortunate
in that our government is willing to
pay us a fair rate of interest for a vol
untary loan. The least we can do is 20
take UP these bonds as fast as they are
offered, thus showing that we are not
waiting for a chance to take advan-
tage of the Nations greater need.
All of us. rich and poor, must share
in this Third Liberty Loan or we will
find ourselves face TO face with a
forced contribution. My own feeling
is favorable TO a loan without interest.
The President can quite as logically
call upon capital 10 lend its aid as to
call upon labor to grant its skilled co-
operation.
The struggle has now become titan
ic. We must meet it in the spirit of
patriots. Thus far we have not felt
the miseries of war in the slightest de-
gree. No real sacrifices have been
required of rs. All that the govern
ment asks of us at present is the priyi-
lege of paying us 4 per cent for our
money. Surely we should give all we
can spare at this rate-in the hope
that the forced loan may not be neces-
sary.

THE CROW'S-NEST

II is decreed that we shall have Ia
adopt the daylight saving plan as a war
measure. Our clocks are TO be turned
ahead one hour at two O'Clock a. m. on
the last Sunday in March. Most OF us
are patriotic enough but it Is doubtful
whether many of us will get up at
that time of the night to turn our
clocks ahead. The new order is going
to disarrange things for a while. In
the first place, it will be hard to
change some of our life time habits.
We awake at about a certain time ev-
cry morning and the matter of setting
our clocks ahead will not change that
get out our alarm clocks to help us
get used to the new order. 1t will be a
hardship at first to get off to school
or the new schedule. Those who are
late to church now will not get there
in time to hear the benediction. After
we become accustomed to the time the
early lawn mower will not be so apt
to disturb our morning nap. We shall
be out as soon as he is. probably. If
the railroads observe the new ruling
shall get our newspapers an hour
earlier and be able to read them
