LABOR IS LIKELY
ORGANIZATION OF BOARD AT,
i SPOKANE TO KEEP ALL MEN
AT. USEFUL WORK

SPOKANE-Virt conscription of
labor will soon be established in the In
land Empire through the government S
new community war labor boards, now
being organized These boards are to
be formed in the larger cities and will
have jurisdiction in the territory ada
cent. They will be empowered to make
labor surveys, listing all persons in the
various employments, and then make
such redistribution of workers as will
give preference to war essential indus
tries. They will also see that all indus
tries are cared for in their relative i'm
portance; will prevent the unnecessary
moving of men to distant points and in
a general way will equalize and stabilize
the labor of the country.
The boards are composed of three
men, representative of labor, a repre-
sentative of employers and government
labor agent, the latter acting as chair
man. The community boards will have
sweeping powers, but the right of appeal
to the department of labor at Washing
ton is allowed Selection of board mem

PERSHING APPRECIATES
THE SALVATION ARMY

Colonel William Barker, represen-
tative of the Salvation Army tells of
touching incident upon his arrival
in France, and his first interview
with General Pershing. When he
sent in his card he expected that the
American Commander would be too
busy to receive him. He was sur
prised, therefore, when General Per-
shing came out, extending his Land
and said: "I always have ,f5 spot
in my heart for the Salvation Army
I'll tell you why. When my wife and
children died, out on the Pacific Coast
a Salvation Army officer wrote me
letter of coincidence. This was more
than any other minister of any de-
nomination thought of doing. And I
appreciated it."

GOVERNMENT WANTS MEN
WITH COLLEGE EDUCATION

Closely in line with the war de-
partment's recommendations to. make
the draft ages 18 to As, with pro-
vision for training Of the younger men,
is the report of Secretary Lanes
special committee on higher education
and industry, just made public,
wherein the nations need for tech
nically trained men is defined and a
specific higher education program
urged. w
The committee, which consisted of
Fuller E. Galloway, a financier of
Lagrange, Ca, Samuel M. FELTON,, di-
rector-general of military railways
for the war department, and Presi-
dent E. A. Alderman, of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, seeks to show how
essential it is, if the governments
far-reaching military plans are to be
carried out successfully, that the pro-
cesses of higher education be main
tanned at the highest possible effici-
ency-especially those having to do
with the future supply of men and
women trained in scientific and tech
nical subjects, including teachers in
these fields.

conduct of military operations, but
indirectly in the essential war indus

port says:
The engineering problems con-

LATAH COUNTY MICA USED
IN MAKING GAS MASKS

Another instance of unusual de-
mands created by the all-nations war
is found at Yakima. The federal
government has made contract with
the big cannery at that place for all
the peach pits that can be saved.
The pits have been found of unusual
value in producing charcoal used in
the manufacture of gas masks. This
kind of charcoal has superior absorb
ent qualities.
The gas mask industry continues
to give employment to a score of
persons in Spokane where the Idaho
Mica Manufacturing company oper-
ates its plant on a big order for eyes
for masks. The mica taken from de-
posits in Northern Idaho makes q
fine quality of transparencies.

"Of Importance to the public in gel
