ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
in Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

"How snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlet wOolp was the
fayorite speech Of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother,
who, If history Is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed OF
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool Is no longer
scarlet but khaki Worse yet, the
maiden sits before a cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks In as many
minutes as 1t takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance

of the New York County Chapter there
Eight of these are In the model work
room at 20 East Thirty eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions. Here instruc.
tors teach the use Of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair of socks can be
made on the machine In 25 minutes
The machine looks like cross between
fishing tackle and a pile driver. The
worker threads 1t through the arm and
carrier on to the threader, The body
OF the machine is circle OF needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the socl
machine, the strips sewed together ant

Strike
Unsettled.

The strike of the local plumbers is
yet unsettled There has been much
talk of the Journeymen Plumbers and
the Master Plumbers getting together,
but up to the time of going to press
practically nothing has been done.
The master plumbers pledged them
selves that they would never agree to
the demands made by the journeymen,
and the journeymen are just as de-
termined to get what they have asked
for and agreed to stick tight until
they do get it. The journeymen have
not weakened and up to this time it
looks like they have little bit the
best of the scrap.
The journeymen plumbers say that
some of the master plumbers would
like to settle on the terms Of the
strikers, but they do not feel like
signing the new agreement unless all
sign it. The only reason that the
master plumbers give for not want
ing to sign the new wage agreement,
is that some Of the journeymen plumb
rs are not worth the increase, while
on the other hand the journeymen say
some of the master plumbers are not
worth what. they are asking, from
85c to $1.0O per hour
I In the past week some Of the jour
neymen have left the city for the
south, where they have secured jobs
and getting more wages than they are
asking here The wage scale in the
northern part of the state is from $50
to $500 per day. Dayton plumbers
will get soc per hour on and after
July 1st.
Donald Metzler has signed the
agreement of the Journeymen Plumb
ers' Union and is in position to
take orders for all kinds of work. lie
has employed several plumbers and
as orders come in he will put more
men to work. He is located at 211
Hooven avenue and can be reached
by Bell phone 1690-L.
The plumbers are in session every
morning in their hall, corner Thirc
and Maple avenue. They have all the
confidence in the world that the mas.
ter plumbers will in time sign THEN
agreement.

Clerks Needed In State
Department.

The demand for male clerks in state
departments is far above the supply
and the State Civil Service Commits
sion at Columbus has called special
examination for young men between
the ages of 18 and 25, for June 5th,
of applicants for appointment to such
positions.
The salary to start with is $840 a

after one years satisfactory service.
A number will be appointed just as
soon as an eligible list can be pre-
pared. The June issue of the official
bulletin of the commission, which will
be sent free to all upon request, gives
complete particulars regarding this
examination.

One WAY The RED CROSS HAS TAKEN

1000 Ragged, Sick and Homeless People Are

At the first onslaught of the Huns,
before the French were able to with
stand their invasion, the Kaiser Sc
cured a goodly section Of France.
With the captured cities and villages
he acquired many thousands of French
men.
True to all the rules of Teutonic
efficiency, the noble German worked
and starved these French close TO the
point of death, then saw to 1t that an
impressive number of them caught"
tuberculosis and finally sent these poor
wrecks back to burden France.
It has taken the Kaiser from two to
three years to suck the healthy blood
from the veins of these sturdy rural
French, but now he is sending them
back at the rate of about 1000 day.

SETS EXAMPLE OF LOYALTY
Organized Labor Has Shown Itself
Ready and Willing to Make Sac
rif1ces to Win the War.
BY CHARLES p. FORD,
Secretary International Brotherhood {
trical Workers

BY CHARLES =. FORD.
Secretary International Brotherhood of Eec-
trical Workers.
The loyalty of the officers and men,
bers of organized labor to their coun-
try cannot be questioned.
The opportunity my position gives
me to obtain the individual sentiments
of thousands OF members of the or
ganiZation l represent as well as men,
bers of other organizations and trades,
show clearly that the toiler realizes
the causes which lead up to the pres
ent conflict as well as the importance
of fighting this war to a victorious
end that the light of freedom may shine
on the people of Europe and the civ
iliZed world. 1t is evident from the
ready response of labor to the call of
their country that labor is ready and
willing to sacrifice their all to aid
and assist in this struggle.
The attitude and action Of some
of those who claim to be exponents
of the cause of labor and humanity
and who are endeavoring to hamper
and harass the government all possible
should not be considered as represent.
Ing the feeling or sentiments of the
great mass of organized labor Of this
country.
Naturally this condition gives the po
litical and social anarchist, and the
advocates of other creeds and isms
an opportunity to spread their propa
ganda. Quite often the reading public
misunderstands the utterances of sucf
persons as voicing the sentiment of or
ganized labor which is entirely er
roneous. Labor's position has beer
fully demonstrated by its willing co
operation ,and labor will continue t.
fight to establish better conditions
throughout the entire world.

sumptive germs. We have q hospital
of 80 beds for children in Evian. These
are reserved for the children who are
too Ill to take farther. Then our Red
Cross has a conyalescent hospital out
side the town and yet another in a
nearby village. 1t also keeps six am
balances busy transporting sick wom-
en- and children. Yet even then the
strain upon our workers Is so great
that for eight long months one Ameri
can nurse has had to look after 120
beds.
We, through our American Red
Cross, are doing great things toward
defeating the Kaiser in his efforts to
turn France into graveyard, but we
have just started, and our duty de-
mands that we work fast and without

FITTING FASHION TO FUNDS
Homemade Garments Can Be Finish
ed in Manner That Will Do Away
With Amateurish Stamp.

In making ones own clothes there
are many little points about which one
needs. advice-things which give a
more finished appearance. and do away
with the homemade look that is apt
TO be the result Of amateur work.
For instance, says a writer in Good
Housekeeping, wherever stitching is
visible. such as on the cuffs, collar and
bottom of the skirt, do 1t by hand, and
an exceptionally good way TO finish the
bottom Of a suit of heavy material is
not to turn in the edge of the hem,
but TO leave the raw edge on the I'M
derneath side, and finish it with a
feather stitch on the wrong side; care
must be taken to make the stitches in
visible on the right side. This looks
so much better than the usual machine
stitching which is very often used for
finishing the hem.
The lining for a suit should be made
| separately and fitted to the figure just
the same as the coat itself. When 1t Is
sewed into the coat, it will be neither
too large nor too small. IL an inter
| lining is necessary for the waist of the
| coat, outing flannel is good.
In getting a skirt to hang straight
the best results can be obtained by
first putting the skirt on TO regular
skirt banding, which can be bought by
the yard. For a One-piece dress, de
tachable collars and cuffs of linen, or
candle, or satin, add greatly, and are
easily made end washed.

FROCKS OF SIMPLE CALIC0ES
Conservation Of Wool and Silk Make
Call for Material Which Will
Lessen Demand for Others.

News comes that n of the latest
DEVELOPMENTS for war time fashions
will be frocks OF simple calico, says
Women's Wear. Some of the smart
est houses which specialize in gar
ments for women whose happiness de-
pends on being chic are creating mod
els In this fabric which certainly be-
fore all else should appeal to the war
economy instinct.
Women have been warned TO con-
serve wool and TO go lightly as to silk,
so naturally when they are offered gar
ments of so humble q fabric they will
believe they are demonstrating their
patriotism by accepting ii and a calico
frock will be the reward of virtue.
The c~alicoes that are engaging the
attention Of designers at the present
moment are those of quaint printed eff
fects on light grounds.
1t appears that many of the frocks
will be given n certain lightness not
| expected of calico by combination with
| sheerer fabrics such as %organdie and
| net and that the extreme of femininity
| and quaintness will give them a dis
tinction of their own which will mo-
permit them to be scorned by even tht
most exclusive of fashionable women
