PRESIDENT WILSON'S TOUR CUT
SHORT BY ILLNEESS.

President Wilson's speaking tour
across the continent, cut short by
sickness, was nevertheless, a great
success. Many of the largest cities

his own lips lucid and simple ex-
PLANTATION of what the League of
Nations really is. His speeches were
photographed to and printed in all the
leading dailics of the United States.
The impression prevails among those
who have the right to know, that
the treaty will be adopted practi-

Saving Time in ShipbuiIdino.


In place Of using rivets to fasten the
plates and the framing of a ship to-

Quoted on a 40-foot length of a $780,
ton cargo steamship. Both spot weld
ing and continuous arc welding will
be used, the spot welding for connect
ing the frames and plates, and the arc
welding for joining the seams Of the
plates. The hull to be tested will be
filled with water and subjected to va
rious strains in order to judge of the
strength Of the joints. Should the test
prove successful, it will result not only
in the saving of 10 per cent of weight,
but also in a great economy Of time.
1t will eliminate a great deal of work
in marking out, punching, and fitting Of
the members, as well as a reduction in

like Their DESERT
Bedouin Women the Possessors
Of Savage Beauty.
Barbaric Ornaments, With Which They
Load Themselves, Do Not Seem
Out Of PIace-Abandoning An.
cient Customs.

All the women Of the Bedouin village
came to see us, writes Elizabeth Coop
err In Asia. They had magnificent
p%hysiques. tall and supple, and carried
themselves with stately grace. They
were dressed in long, straight cotton
gowns of blue or black, and a many
colored sash was wrapped around the
waist.< The only foot coverings were
the anklets Of silver that fell down
over the instep. Over their hair, which
was braided in many braids, and in
which were plated small gold coins
that clinked unsteady as they moved
their heads, they wore wells of black
with a colored border, which added to
their dignity and beauty in a most
charming manner
From the lower lip to the neck, and
lost In the coverings of the dress, were
three dark blue lines Of tattooing. This
t%attooing is seen now only on the older
women, and is being thrown on the al
tar Of modernity by the daughters of
the Bedouins who have peeped into the
outer world and are trying to be more
like their city neighbors. The hair Is
straight and black, and with many has
been given a tinge Of red by washing
it in henna. I saw no gray-haired WON
en-, because those who have been
touched by the finger of time have
been allowed by kindly custom to dye
their locks, and there were many fam
ing heads above wrinkled faces. Hen
ma is also applied to the nails of the
fingers and toes, and the under side
of the feet and palms are not forgotten
by the Bedouin woman who has con-
served the customs Of her mother and
has not yet relegated the henna pot
to the lumber room along with the tat
tooing ink.
Great masses of jewelry were worn
by all, not the diamonds and rubies
found in the cities, but the true orna-
ments of a barbaric people. Hoops of
gold We're in the ears-one hanging
from the top of the ear, another from
the lobe. The neck was covered with
chains formed of balls Of gold or of
coins, and on the arms were many
bracelets. In writing coldly Of the Bed
ouin woman, her tattooing, her henna-
cOlored hair, her kOhl-blackened eyes,
and her massive chains Of gold and
anklets of silver, 1T seems as if she
were still in an age of barbarism, yet
her ornaments are becoming to her
rich coloring and she is not over
dressed. Ornaments belong to the time
and the place, and are made for these
women, who need strong settings for
their w savage beauty.

made by labor to resist general wage
reductions.
Turning now from those agencies
ana laws ll:at have been put in opera
ton during HE wur to the general sub.
.Ject of labor legislation and problems,
we are glad 10 note that there is no
longer any serious objection urged by
impartial! persons against the legal
minimum Wage. The several States
should enact laws providing for the
establishment of wage rates that will
be a: least sufficient for the decent
maintenance of a family In the case of
all male adViis and adequate to the de-
cent individual support of female
workers. IN the beginning the legal
minimum for male workers should suf-
nee only for the present needs of the
family, but they should be gradually
raised until lney are adequate to fiji
lufe needs as Well-ll;t is, they should
be ultimately high enough to make pos
S-ole that amount OF saving which is
necessary t" protect the worker and
his family against sickness, accidents,
mNalidity alnl old age.
Labor Participation in Management.
The right of labor to organize and
to deal will. employers through repre-
Sentallvcs has been asserted above In
connection with the discussion of the
Wan Labor Board. 1t is. to be hoped
that this right will never again be
called in question by any considerable
nh of employers. In addition to
his. labor ought gradually to- receive
greater representation in what the
English group Of Quaker employers
have called the Industrial part of
business mAnagement-'tlle control of
processes and machinery; nature of
product engagement and dismissal of
employees: hours Of work, rates of
pay. bonuses. etc: welfare work shop
discipline: relations with trade un-
ions. The establishment of shop COM
mittees. working Wherever possible
with the trade union, is the method
suggested by This group of employers
for giving The employees the proper
share of industrial management.
There can b" No doubt that a frank
adoption OF |heS" means and ends by
employers would II" only promote the
welfare Of The workers, but vastly i'm
prove the relations between them and
their employers, and increase the eff
cheney and lIr"ducliveness Of each es-
tabliSllmpnt.
There is no need here to emphasize
the Importance of safety and santa
1ion in work places, as this is pretty
generally recognized by legislation.
What is required is an extension and
strengthening of many OF the existing
statutes and a better administration
ana enforcement of such laws every
where.
