workers. It will correct the abuses and the troubles growing out of the large labor turnover with the conse- quent disruption of regular work.
 Every safeguard must be taken to protect the standard of living and the morale of the wage earners Es- pecially must great care be taken to keep the age limit of those who enter industry at high level. lest we rob our future citizenship of it's right growth and time for education. We must also take knowledge of the dan gers attendant upon the large entrance of women into heavy and hazardous industries.
 The exigencies of war times should not be made the occasion for the
 breaking down of those standards of hours, wages, and conditions of work which are designed to protect the childhood the Wcmanhood, and the motherhood of the present and of the future.
 Experts tell us it takes from s to 10 workers at home to keep one sol dier on the firing line in Europe Whatever, therefore, helps to mobilize distribute, and energize those who dc the work of our war industries has become as important a factor in win ming the war as the prowess of oul armies in the field or our Navy on the seas

 TO be strong for victory the Nation
 must let her children play" said Charles Frederick Weller, associate secretary of the Fairgrounds and Rec
 reation Association of America. No time nor money can be spared from war winning activities, but the winning of the war depends on man power and man power can not be sustained in any
 nation without health and wholesome
 ness in the children.
 Far worse than exhausting Ameri-
 ca's financial capital would be the ex- haustion of child life, which is man 1 power capital.
 England and France began as the United States has been tempted to be- gin-by letting the children pay toe heavily for the war in child labor iS-
 creased delinquency, overtaxed nerves weakened bodies. and premature l deaths, but England and France turned 1 70 lift war burdens from the. children tby giving them a chance to play | There is urgent need to give our boys

Uncle Sam Practices Thrift by Patch
 ina Soldiers Garments.

Methods of thrift now enforced in the Army Quartermaster Generals S Office, including the repair of clothing and shoes, where possible, have cut down the issue of new clothing and shoes from 30 to 40 per cent. in some instances
 The plants where mending is done are run in connection with forts and camps by the Camp Quartermaster. When a soldier tears or rips a garment he turns it in to his supply officer. When the sotes of his shoes wear out or the heel runs down, the. shoes g back to the same officer. These gar ments and shoes are taken to the re- pair shops managed by the conserva- tion and reclama ton officer. When repaired and put in order they are re- turned to the original owner if possi- ble and if the original owner can not be located they serve some other sol- , .dier.
 | Hundreds of women are being employ ed by the War Department in the work of repairing the garments Of soldiers and in the laundries at camps and can comments. Preference in this employ
 ment is given the wives, sisters, and mothers of men in the service. By paying s1 a month a soldier is en- titled to a weekly bundle of laundry in which the number of articles is not ! limited The women mend and repair
 all garments before they are laundered

 oa the Canada Registra tion Doard, officially donounces as without founda- ton reports circulated in Canada and in the United States to the effect that visitors to Canada from the United States will 5e compelled to register at a post office before being able to secure hotel accommodations or transporta- ton, that women visiting Canada, will be detained and that Americans travelling in Canada will require pass ports.
 He says that neither in the law. in the regulations for Canadian registra- tion, nor in any instructions issued or contemplated, is there anything that would indicate desire or intention to impose restrictions upon Americans or allied or neutral aliens entering, travel ing in, or leaving Canada.
 The registration act applies only to people permanently resident in Canada and does not affect anyone living in the United States. No registration at d post office is necessary for Ameri cans, and no passports are required.
 On entering Canada, visitors give assurance that their usual place of res idence is not Canada and are supplied with Identification cards by the Can adian immigration officials, which en- abel them to travel freely where they wish without any interference.

Russia Has Corner on World Platinum Supply,


 The needs of platinum in war in dustries and in the sciences are ex plained by Dr. Charles L. Parsons chief chemist, Bureau of Mines De- partment of the Interior. in an arsu- ment for discontinuance of the use of platinum in jewelry.
 The war can not be won without platinum says Dr. Parsons. and i+ is equally essential in times of peace Is our country is to excel Germany in the development of chemical science aid industry. With the aid of platinum from one ordinary wedding ring about 100 pounds of nitric acid can be made every A hours. This 100 pounds of nitric acid converted into high expio- sives will send a number of 3inch shells against the Germans and help to bring the boys back home.
 "Pla hum rings, pins, cigarette cases and mesh bags are not factors in winning this war-explosives are. wonder if the purchasers and wearsrs of platinum jewelry know that expio- sives can not be manufactured wi .hcut the use of sulphuric and nitric acids; that the manufacture of these acids re- quires the use of supplies of platinum that airp1anes must Have platinum for | important instruments they need; that platinum is absolutely necessary iiH the manufacture of special promoters that pyrometers are necessary in all steel instruments; and that no guns can be made without the use of pyro- meters.
 There is a shortage in the supply o1 | platinum. Russia has corner On the worlds supply. and Germanv is in Russia Our domestic production oi platinum is negligible, while our mnl- tary requirements are increasing at d rapid rate"
