SAYS LABOR AND CAPITAL
ARE GETTING TOGETHER
Secretary of Labor Wilson Declares
Industrial Peace in the U. S.
Is Near.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Strikes and
lockOuts are rapidly decreasing in
number, Secretary of Labor Wilson
said in an interview.
with the decision of the executive
committee OF the United Mine Work
ers to urge their membership to re-
turn to work Immediately in accord
ance vita the proposal of President
Wilson," said the secretary, 1.-The ma
tional Industrial situation, from the
standpoint of increased production,
seems to wear better aspect than at
any time since the period of unrest be-
gan more than a year ago with the
signing Of the armistice.
"The Cancellation division of this de-
partment now is being called upon to
handle fewer strikes and lockOuts than
during the summer.
although the division does not get
reports on all strikes and lockouts,
since it can act legally only when re-
quested by one Of the parties con-
cerned, the cases coming to the d.
vision are representative Of the gen
eral situation. Just now they seem to
indicate that employees and employers
are finding it easier to settle differ
ences peacefully than through strikes
and lOckOutS."

tinued Doctor Merritt, and with SUI
preme satisfaction the young physician
viewed the five reunited ones IN a
maze of embraces, kisses and tears.
Rhoda, clinging to Mrs. Bruce, hid her
face in modest confusion, as Doctor
Merritt recited her brave battle
against the elements in a great storm
upon a battered raft until she had
brought the children to safety.
"But you, Doctor Merritt? pro-
pounded Mrs. Bruce wonderlngly-
'how came you to be at Fair Villa"

was the reply. 81 had gone there On

ankind, to become my wife," and as
Rhoda extended her hand he covered
it with kisses and pressed it to his
happy, happy heart.
IF there was a mistletoe here I
would march you two promptly under
t!' threatened Mrs. Bruce, immersed
in thrilling joy and gratitude.
"There shall be one before Christ
mas morning arrives! ~ cried Doctor
Merritt in tones that rang out like a
cheer. "Come, Bruce, you and on a
hunt for Santa Claus and the choicest
gifts he can bestow, Oh! nowhere in
the world, and never to any others,
has there come a happier, merrier
Christmas than the one we shall cele-
brate!"

back when Harold Bruce had come
home from the funeral of his mother,
bringing with him wistful-eyed, sad
faced mite of a girl.
Laura" he said to his wife, "this is
Rhoda Marsh, a poor orphan child
whom my mother adopted, who has
given her the tenderest care to the last
hour of her life and was a blessing to
her old age. She is left without
home. Should we give her one?"
1--WE should, and we SHALL" came the
quick reply, as Mrs. Bruce gazed into
the earnest longing eyes of the girl of
fourteen, and read there truth and in
nocence and a soulful appeal to all
that was maternal and Sympathizing
in her nature.
1t proved to be wise and fortuitous
choice. AS the children came along
Rhoda proved to them a true and low
ing sister, nurse and friend
Then came a test Of the fidelity and
self-sacrifice of the girl just merging
. into young womanhood. Both of the
children were taken down with a dan
gerous contagious malady. The house
was quarantined. Rhoda braved the
perils of infection. Day and night she
was the constant attendant of Don
and Eta. She found so sure a loving
place in the hearts of those she had
benefited, that her eyes beamed with
Joy and happiness whenever she was
in their presence.
The physician who attended the
children was Albion Merritt He had
entered the profession the protege of a
wealthy man, and had acquired a
clientele of prominence and a Urge
income. 1t was when the little ones
were convalescent that he had come to
Mr.. Bruce, who was a close personal
friend.
Bruce" he said, "I cannot find
words to express my admiration and
respect, yes, and something deeper, for
that sweet little heroine, Rhoda, whose
studious care Of the children, far more
than my ministrations, is responsible
for their recovery"

and his wife, Laura, sat. They were
awaiting the arrival of a taxicab or
dered in time to catch an evening train
Tor the South. Both were somber-
raced and wearied Of mien. They had
not spoken for some time, for it was a
situation where words meant nothing
The wife never lifted her tear-Stained
eyes, the husband wore set express
sion upon his face as though exerting
the utmost will power to repress the
poignant emotion which consumed him.
Without, joyous shouts echoed, the
sound of merry sleigh bells tinctured
the air with Christmas eve fervor, and
the contrast Of this long-anticipated
holiday presentation with what they
mad hoped and planned for, wrenched
their souls to the point of anguish.
Their lives desOlated beyond repair,
poignant memories ever present, they
scarce dared to rest their glance upon
the portraits of two smiling, happy
faces looking down from a heavily
framed picture, for only that morning
they had received the terrible news
that the originals, their only chill
dren, Don, aged six, and Eta, two
years his junior, had been victims,
with many others, of a disaster by
cyclone and flood that had devastated
the district where they had their Win
ter home in Florida.
All they knew was that the pretty
bungalow and many others, with their
occupants, had been swept away, and
hundreds were said to have persisted,
and no word had been received as to
the fate of their two little ones, nor Of
Rhoda Marsh, who had them in charge
Rhoda Marsh had come into their
thoughts almost as frequently as little
Eta and her brother. Each recalled
that it was Christmas eve four years

DISCOVER GERMAN SECRET.
Process of Making Artificial Mother

London, May 20.-The secret OF
another German key industry has
been discovered, the manufacture of
artificial mother-of-pearl. DR.. ]. W.
H. Dew. a fellow Of the Royal So
ciety of Arts, found the process after
much patient experimenting.
DR.. Dew was engaged during the
whole period of the war in recon
structing, step by step, the method
of manufacture.
Artificial mother-of-pearl is used
for making fancy buttons, dress trim
mings and many other articles. BE-
fore the war most of it came from

MeXico's Floating Gardens.

The so-called floating gardens of
Mexico do not live up to their name,
for they have never been known to
float, but they do supply the capital of
Mexico with a large part of its flow
ers and vegetables.
To get to these stationary floating
gardens you hire a canal boat, and
are showed and poled along the Viga
Canal as part of boat parade, which
cannot be escaped because it is per-
petual. The gardens are far up the
canal. They are square patches of
island covered to overfowing, some
with flowers of every hue and others
with homely vegetables. They are
literally the garden spots of Mexico.
Though the gardens do not float,
they have their unusual points. They
did not just happen like most islands,
but are homemade by the gardeners
or their predecessors. Masses of Wa
ter hyscinths and other water plants
were thrown into the water and on
top of that a layer of earth. The hya-
cinth roots floated down to the canal
bed and moored the garden and the
gardeners Immediately went to work.
The products of these patches can
be seen travelling back up the canal
to the market of Mexico City. Some
boats going to town are loaded with
human freight, but the majority in
the returning parade are piled high
with sweet peas, lilacs, poppies and
other gorgeous blossoms, or with
radishes, turnips and the odoriferous
onion.-San Francisco Chronicle.
