Of the Senate committee investigating
army hospital needs, yesterday re-
pudiared the report of Lieut.. Col.
John A. Hornsby who declared the
site of the Speedway Hospital project
at Chicago unsuitable and marshy."
"Col Hornsby acted purely as an
individual in making such a report, !"
he declared, land wholly without the
knowledge or authority of the Sur

Testimony before the committee de-
veloped these facts:
That the government is paying $lo,-
600 month rental for the West
Baden Hotel near French Lick
Springs, Ind .~
That there are 10000 wounded
American soldiers in hospitals abroad.
That there are 9.162 hospital beds
in this country, with 5000 of them
occupied by wounded soldiers.
During a discussion regarding medi-
cal methods of rehabilitation, Sena-
tor Franco said:
1T is inconceivable to me that
men could be so irrational as to dis
charge soldiers afflicted with incip-
lent tuberculosis and let them scat
ter all over the country and then
later attempt to hunt them up and
herd them in hospitals. 1t is case
of multiplicity of agencies.

C0MPERS HOPES
TO RAISE WAGES
Higher Pay in Europe Will
Boost Salaries in U. S.,
Says Morrison.

Higher wages for workers in Eu-
rope to keep up high wages in this
country is one of the main aims of
Samuel Gompers, president OF ,the
American Federation OF Labor, now
in Europe, it was learned in labor
circles here yesterday
Realizing that the products of
cheap European labor pouring into
the American market will force
wages down, probably despite tar
IFS, Gompers hopes to boost wages
in the old nations through the In
ternational Trades Union, which he
is now endeavoring to organize per-
manently to advise the Peace Con-
ference on labor questions. -.
Gompers plans to make, the inter-
national union a permanent sorgani-
zatiOn. and not only to be ac-
tive during the peace deliberations,
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American .FedFation of Labor said
yesterday. Its aim will be to better
the condition of workingmen in all
parts of the world, Morrison stated.
II believe the first step, of such an
organization will be to put the Amerf-
can standard of labor in force in Eu-
rope" he added. The war has drawn
the civilized world much closer to-
gether, and labor conditions in one
part of the world are certain to react
in other parts. The tendency will be
to pull down the higher standards,
and this Is what it is hoped to coun-
teract"
The International Union Gompers Is
organizing will be kept aloof from the
radical socialist and Bolsheviki infiu-
ences, Morrison stated. That Is why
the American labor delegates refused
to join in the Berne. Switzerland, con-
ference, backed by Arthur Henderson.
the British leader. who plans to admit
the Bolsheviki
1T rs because the Berne conference
will not truly represent the people that
the American Federation Will not
join" Morrison said.

matter how much it costs or who

in the place where his collar be-

him and took him to the lookup and

A Recipe for Popularity

Many of the letters that come to this magazine
says the Womsn's Home Companion, from young
people tell of fervent wish be ked-"to be pop
ular" they usually phrase it-and the questioners
seem to think there is some magic formula by which
popularity can be obtained overnight sort of
spiritual lotion which, if applied to rough, unlove-
ly disposition changes it at once to fine and lovely
one, soothing mixture from the medicine closet
changes chapped hands to smooth Ones
If popularity and sweetness could be so easily
won. no need be anything but popular and
sweet. But things do not go just that way Yet,
they are always popular. and the people who have
them need have no monopoly on them. They are
yours and mine for the cultivatng. For in
stance: No truly popular person shows bore
dom. no matter how dull and tiresome his compan-
ions are; and, conversely. bore is popular.
II is point of good breeding to be bored and
show 1t, and the habit of being interested in people,
if they interesting easily acquired
good table manners.
So much for that. But that other essential of
popularlty-how not to be bore. How about that?
Unfortunately, there be no rule about that But
you let the other person do least nine tenhs of
the talking it is fairly safe say that you will not
bore him, aud that your popularity will not be de-
creased thereby.

Loyalty

Loyalty is that quality which prompts q person
to be true to the thing he undertakes. 1t means
definite direction, tixty of purpose, steadfastness
Loyalty supplies power pose, purpose. ballast and
works for health and success Nature helps the
loyal man. If you careless. slipshod Indifferent
nature assumes that you wish to be nobody and
grants your desire. Success hinges on loyalty. Be
to your art your business. your employer your
school, Loyalty is for the who is loyal. 1t is
quality through the very fabric Of ones being
and never thing apart. Loyalty makes the thing
towhich you are loyal yours. Disoyaty removes it
from you. Whether anyone knows of our dsloyalty
is really of little moment, either way the
other. The real point is, how does it effect our
selves? Work is for the worker. Love is for the
lover. Art is for the artist The menlal is man
who is disloyal to his work. All useful service is

Wild Hemp for Binder Irvine

Wild hemp has possibilities for the manufacture
of binding Irvine and it's cultivation may become
part of Canada's postwar industrial program.
The Indians of the coast and interior of central
British Columbia have long been famous as carvers.
and boat builders. but it was only recently
that attention attracted to the fine rope which
they make from wild hemp. At Awiligate in the
Buckley valley New Hazelton there is village
of Indians who display remarkable skill in making
rope from the abundant wild hemp which covers the
surrounding country. They have been making this
rope for centuries by method of their own. and it
is strong that they it for towing their heavily
laden canoes up the currents of swift rivers. This
is vncing proof of stoutness. They also make
Irvine and thread from the hemp, but not in such
quantities as in the days before they able to
purchase these articles chiefly from traders. The
wild hemp closely resembles the common fire weed
of the United States.-Ex.
