Good for Looks Only.

An experienced housewife, who
has never taken any other course in
domestic science than that afforded
by wrestling many years with the
problem of three meals a day, felt
much interested when her college
bred daughter told her that she was
going to spend the week end with a
friend who was the last word in the
high-br world Of the cooking spe-
cialist.
Mother. it was wonderful ex-
claimed the girl on her return. "On
one side Of her white-ti!ed laboratory
she doesn't call it a kitchen-there
is the dishwashing machine, and on
the other the long tables for the con-
structive work. The arrangements
are perfect. and everything is clean
and shining. I'm just crazy about it.

of stew. And the rest of the stuff

Ruei r. Mcclellan Of Portland

Ruel T. Mcclellan of Portland died
Wednesday evening after long ill.,
ness. Mr.. Mcclellan was born in
Portland and had lived there all his
life. He was a son OF Jacob Nc
Lellan. mayor Of Portland 1S63-4-5-S,
and this Is one Of the oldtime Port
land families. Singularly enough. he
had always lived in Ward Five, as its
lines are now drawn. had always
taken a very keen interest in the af-
fairs Of the Republican party. had
served as chairman Of the city COM
mittee and many years as warden in
Ward Five. Until appointed park
commissioner by Mayor Chapman
two years ago. he had not aspired to
any political position, with the ex-
ception Of two terms, 1886, he was
a member Of the Common Council.
After the election Of Mayor Wiiford
G. Chapman in 1915, when he was
chairman of the city committee. he
refused to consider any Of the SUBJ
ordinate city ofilces which were filled
by Republicans when the new ad-
iuinistration was inaugurated.

MORE STRIKES WAVE
IN 1918 THAN IN 1917

Albany, y. Y.-Forty-eigh CEN
turies of lost time may be charged
against the 265 industrial disputes in
New York state in the year ended
June 80. 1918. as shown in the an
nual report Of Deputy Commissioner
Frank Bret Thorn. in charge Of the
state industrial commissions bureau
of mediation and arbitration. In
other words. the 265 strikes are
charged with 1.519,8S4 days OF idle
ness of the $3.50 persons directly in
volved and 6.355 persons thrown out
of work thereby.
Mr.. Thorn's report shows that while
there were 265 strikes and lockouts
in New York state in the year ended
June 80. 1918, as against 234 in the
year ended June 80. 1917. there were
144,951 persons directly involved and
1875 indirectly with a totalr of
2.500.335 days of idleness. In the
nine months ended June so, 1916,
there were 1928 strikes reported with
222,325 persons directly and 31,6:9
indirectly involved and 9.5S1,163 days
Of idleness.
THE records of strikes and lock-

in New York state" says Mr.. Thorn.
teach a certain lesson which ought
to be impressed upon the employer
and employee. and which justifies the
claims of many students of industrial
relations that spirit Of cooperation
would help much to do away with
serious industrial disputes.
In 1914 out of a total Of 123 strikes
and lockouts reported to his bureau
~ were won or compromised through
friendly direct negotiation between
the parties involved. In 1915 out of
a total of 104. ~ were SO won or COM
promised. In 1916 out of total of
32S strikes reported. 1856 were so won
or compromised. In 1917 out Of a
total OF 234 reported. 80 were SO ad-
justed and in 1918. the period covered
by this report. out of a total of c65
disputes 107 were won or compro-
missed through direct negotiations. no
outside agency intervening.
THE lesson of these figures is that
the employer and employee should
through cooperation and by Joint
consideration. adjust all problems
which may arise out Of their rela
tions wherever possible. Where dis
'putes unavoidably arise which they
cannot settle themselves any inter-
vening agency should approach the
matter in an unperjudiced spirit of
cooperation. and not of arbitrary in
reference. In the many instances
in which this bureau intervenes in
labor disputes. it always advises and
encourages the establishment of
methods by which the parties may
maintain by direct negotiations:
friendly relations. after the immediate
dispute is settled.
"Of the strikes reported in this pe-
riod 1873 arose out of a demand for an
increase of wages and only one arose
from an attempt on the part Of the
employer to reduce wages. Demand
for the recognition Of unions was the
cause of strikes in 81 cases, and in
eight cases working conditions caused
strikes. Longer hours Of labor were
the cause of no strike during this
period.

A woman who labored under the
delusion that men were always on the
lookout to speak to unaccompanied
females was rather nervous walking
along a city street one evening. Two
men were just behind her. laughing
and chatting in a very queer fashion,
she thought.
May join you?" she asked of two
women walking in front Of her.
Certainly" they replied. The three
walked along. Still the two men fol-
lowed. They were still laughing and
making comments which though in
audible the woman felt were directed
toward her.
Thank YOU for letting me go along
with you." she said to her two COM
panions as she left them at a sub
way entrance. "As a matter of fact
those two men walking back of us
made me very nervous. think they
have been trying to speak to me-"
The women glanced back.

drawn? On the ground that because
Italy demanded these things and
many moro (including the Trentino
as far az Brenner Pass. including the
whole Of the southern Tyrol:
Trieste. Istria. Fiume. the larger part
Of the Dalmatian islands. a protec-
torate over Albania, islands in the
Aegean taken from Turkey, and the
province Of Adalia-if France and
England should take territory in
Asia Minor) before she went into the
war on the side Of the entente, is she
to be deprived Of all, in spite Of the
sacrifices she has made and the con-
cessions she now offers: Is the fact
that this agreement was secret to
rob her of such just considerations
as are granted other powers:
Do We look to see Japan driven out
from possession Of the Shan Tung
peninsula and the Pacific islands
turned over to her by secret con-
nivance with Britain without by
your leave" to the United States and
other powers: Do the peace dele
gates expect the people Of America.
Great Britain and France will per-
nit their armies and navies to drive
Italy out Of the Italian and Illyrian
populated city of Fiume and turn
these people over to the tender
mercies of the Jugo Slavs who fought
with Germany? We rather think not
in spite of the high moral position of
our representatives" at the trouble
conference. For are we not prating
about the self-determination" of
peoples
If Italy has agreed 10 the self de-
termination Of peoples why should a
c.tyful OF Italians escaping the domi-
nation of Austria be dumped into the
hands Of Jugo- -Slavs, because Italy
had secret" understanding before
she entered the war that these
Italians should be rescued? Grant
ing that the stand against secret
treaties is right. should the existence
Of secret agreement be used
AGAINST any more than FOR. a
power affected? Should the Wilson,
ian doctrine of self determination be-
come delusion for the city of
Fiume and snare for Italy?
Italy, as we understand it. offers
TO concede her claims in Dalmatia but
prefers rupture and physical defense
Of her rights rather than betray the
confidence and hope of her people in
Fiume. And Italy has the nine points
of possession in Fiume. as Japan has
in the Pacific.
The situation is critically difficult
We have grave fears for the fate Of a
possible league Of nations that can be
Of any immediate material effect.
We are FOR a league of nations. the
best to be had. and the better it is
the better we shall like it. But if a
possible league is to be robbed Of the
moral and physical power of Italy,
what remainder is likely to assume
the responsibility OF removing Italy
from Fiume-or Japan from Kiao-
chau and the CaroIines and other
islands that were German possessions
and turned over to her by secret ar
rangement with Britain: And are We
likely to underwrite this latter pact
with its menace to us and to China !:
1t seems to us that Italy is as
necessary today to a league Of ma
tions as she was to the entente when
she saved it from complete collapse
under Germon power.
Whether Italy be right or wrong.
are we not confronted with the fact
that the fate Of our hoped-for league
Of nations may hang upon this one
decision:
