WITH THE EDITORS
ONCE MORE MEXICO

In some sections Of the American press there
is plain evidence that propaganda against Mex
leo is getting under way. There is also much in
trigue going on under the surface. American in
terests in Mexico are by no means resigned to
the disabilities the Carranza regime has imposed
upon them. Even less are the various religious
groups in the United States resigned to the status
accorded to their co-workers in Mexico Besides,
the impression prevails widely in America that
during the war Mexico, if neutral, was malevo-
lently neutral and would have been pleased with
German victory. This impression is mistaken.
Mexico had hep pro- Germans and pro-Allies but
the overwhelming majority Of the Mexicans were
genuinely neutral. But mistaken or not, the i'm.
preston has its potency and will increase the
chance that occasion may be found for strong
demand for intervention. The Mexican govern.
ment, if it is wise, will take cognizance of this
situation and do what is possible to reduce the
friction between the two nations. The friends
of Mexican independence in this country ought
not to be subjected to embarrassment through
needlessly intransigeant attitude on the part of
Mexco.-The New Republic.

A LIVING WAGE

DR.. w. G. Ogburn of the war labor board testi-
fled that family of five in New York city needs
$500 year to live upon 300 if it is to live in
comfort, according to American standards. The
man must earn S. day, or more than one men,
Der of me family must work for wages, or they
VIII suffer in physique or in social value.
These facts were elected before subcommit-
tee investigating the harbor strike, and bear upon
the wage scale that gives cooks, deckhands and
iremen monthly rate netting $40 a year if no
time is lost They apply equally to all trades and
professions while prices remain as high as now.
Dr. Ogburn's figures allow $615 for food. A
man doing hard manual labor needs more food
than clerk, and in other respects requirements
vary. The great crises of illness and death recur
to swamp all budget reckonings. Car fares and
other incidentals vary much. But as q general
statement the estimate is surely not excessive
Cost of living advances, and wages follow
Wages advance, and cost of living rises for those

break in the endless chain until somewhere prices

Here is model service flag for the American
business house today. In the center is a golden
star for soldier who has "gone vest Three
of the blue stars in the corners covered with
stars of white, slightly smaller, showing that
three employees who went to war have been taken
back; and n/the margin, three other white stars
show three soldiers employed who did not before
work for the firm
Mr. Business Man, are you taking back the
soldier boys who went from your business into
the army? -s.....-.s.. ~ "a ...s
Are you finding places for other soldier boys
who come to you seeking work? Us.
If you are, you can make your example felt
through the medium Of your service flag, and per
form duty as patriotic that which first led
to its display. %1. @a1:-..t
Whenever one of your boys comes back to his
job put white star, slightly smaller; over, one
of the blue thus leaving rim of blue appearing
around the white
Whenever you hire a soldier boy whom you did
not employ before, put white star in the red
border Of your service flag. f. 10y t~
If any of your boys have given their lives in
the service, you will, of course, have placed
golden star for each over the white of the service
flag.
Two years ago our boys began to leave their
places in civil life to cross the water and fight
the battles for the freedom of the world.
AS each one left you proudly placed white
star on your service flag and showed to the world
the loyalty of your workers.
Today they are coming back.
Others have filled their places while they were
gone, or the places have not been filled. But most
Of them went with the promise that there would
be a place for them when they returned. : 4
It's time for you now to show your loyalty
to them. m ~
They have given months of their lives, made
money sacrifice, often suffered in health or been
crippled by war 80
You owe it to them to so adjust your BUSINESS
that those who want to return to you may do so.
You may be twice proud of your service flag
when white stars cover the blue. And if there's
well filled margin of white stars you'll be help
ing Uncle Sam to solve his biggest problem, the
problem of the returning soldier.

But wonders in this day of science
will never cease, for new uses as an
instance have been discovered for

as much as As per cent. by weight
of the corncobs, and the grade B to as
much as 80 per cent. additional. If
this materia, should replace all other
adhesives, er7,leh could be manufac-
tured from 8 per cent. of the corn
cobs produced in the United States to
meet the demand. Us of this substance
in place of starch, dextrine, and flour
paste would make possible an enor-

Corncobs have always been one OF
the great waste products of American
agriculture, yet the chemists of the
Department of Agriculture have proved
that practically the entire cob can
be converted into crystalline glucose.
The cellulose remaining after the adj
hesive are removed is practically
pure product very absorbent, and
might be used for a number of pur-
poses. Alcohol can be manufactured by
fermentation of the corncob glucose.
A certain amount of sugar may be
obtained from the cobs About 2.5 per
cent by weight of acetic acid is re-
covered as a by-product in the manu-
facture of the corncob adhesive.
Whether it will prove profitable to re-
cover all of the by-products in the
manufacture of adhesive can only be
determined by commercial develop
