While Men Are Giving Their Lives

Writing from France several
months ago, when he acknowledged
the receipt of $1,000 sent to the
American Committee for Devastat-
ed France, Lieut.. Carl A. Johson said
Money has ceased to be a part of
our lives here. We gave our money
away and we will give our lives, if
need be, that our mothers may not
need to suffer the fate of these wo-
men,"
Lieut.. Johnson did give his life.
Miss Elizabeth Perkins, of the COM
mittee, in referring to the service of
this American officer, said:
"We are not asked to give our
lives. We at home are asked only to
give our best. Whether that be of our
money or our work, let that be the
best we know how to give. Our men
abroad can give their lives but once
we at home can give our work six
days a week. Let us dedicate that
work every hour of every day with
the same spirit of heroic brotherhood
which animates our fighting men, for
it is this spirit of service which is
bound to win the war"

WHERE WOMEN MUST
HELP THEMSELVES
Labor Commissionsr Pointed Out
Difficulties in Safeguarding Them
When They Do Not Cooperate with
Eforts fer Their Protsetien-

While the Government is doing all
possible to safeguard women who are
taking the places of men withdrawn
from industry to serve in the war,
it is imperative that the women them
selves should cooperate with the De-
partment of Labor.
At a recent conference of State Of
ficials charged with the enforcement
of State labor laws, which was held
in Washington, it was brought out
that in many cases women choose
night work and prefer long hours.
Both of these tendencies are easily
explained. Night work enables wo-
men who have household cares to
look after their homes, and they
know that their children are safe in
bed while they are working. More
over, they have time for necessary
shopping and for recreation. Long
hours mean more pay, and women in
industry have been always paid less
than men, so that it is necessary
to give added time and strength in
order to obtain equal pay.
The remedy for the wholesale en-
ployment of women at night and for
overwork is in the establishment of
equal pay for equal work. 1t has
been proved. that in many places
where women in large num-
bers work at night the wages they
receive are less than men could COM
mand. 1t is the inference that if the
standard of equal pay for equal work
were maintained employers would
not be so likely to employ women at
night.
In view of experience in Great
Britain and France since the world
war began, the United States is max
ing every effort to avoid the exploita-
ton of women and to protect them
from labor conditions that will break
down health and affect not only this
but the next.
The high standard of education
among workers will enable them to
look beyond the present and to pre-
pare for the future, labor experts be-
lieve, and as more women are alb
sorbed by the factories and other
lines of industry the need of conserv-
ing strength will be recognized. While
manufacturers are providing rest
rooms, cafeterias, and sanitary en-
and while the Government
is watchful everywhere, it is neces-
sary that the women should realize |
that it is their patriotic as well as
their personal duty to comply with all |
the provisions of the laws for their
protection.

DON'T SHAKE-SALUTE
Quit shaking hands.

1t is a custom that does not mean
much anyhow. True, it is time hon
ored and stands for friendship and
good will.
But when a custom becomes a
menace to public health; when it is
a means for the transmission of in
lection and disease from person to
person, an enlightened and progress
sive community should be able to
find a substitute that will meet all
social and friendly observances and
yet be safe.
1t has long been known that human
hands are seldom clean, that is, clean
in the sense that they are not con-
taminated with invisible dirt that is
dangerous. Even hands that look
dirty may not be dangerous. The
hands of the plasterer or bricklayer,
covered with lime and mortar, or the
hands of the man at the pillow, grimy
with soil, might not be nearly so
dangerous as the hands of those in
other callings and which appeared to
be clean.
You have been told to smother the
sneeze with your handkerchief or a
paper napkin. When you sneeze into
the open hand and then shake hands
with a friend, you are handing him
the germs of disease.
The hands are in contact with the
mouth and nose scores of times daily.
From the mouth and nose come dis
ease germs which cause influenza,
tuberculosis, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and sore throat of var
ious kinds. When you shake hands
with a friend, infection from the
mouth and nose is conveyed to your
hand from the friend and to the
friend from your hand. Then the
hand covered with germs goes to the
mouth and disease results, and you
wonder how it came about.
Let society pull down the senti-
meHt that keeps up hand shaking and
insist on the salute instead. The
salute is also a safe substitute for
kissing.
A recent decision, rendered by the
Supreme Court of the State of Wash

In the case cited, the writ of he

irmed the finding of the Municipal
Commissioner of Health. The de-
denfant then petitioned the State
Supreme Court for a writ of habeas

case the Supreme Court held that,
