An acceptable gift for man is a
bag to hold two or three clean shirts
in his suitcase when travelling. The
bag is best made of gray linen, shaped
like long manila envelope, with the
flap on the end. Make it just large
enough to allow the shirts to fit IN
snugly. Bind the bag with colored
braid and fasten the flap by button.
On the flap the mans initials may be
embroidered.

The City of Metz
Under the 7ri-Color

son franchise" The streets which us
ed to have both German and French
names now have only French names,
though the German may be written in
brackets for the use of those who do
not know French All the same, you
hear great deal of German, par
ticularly from the peasant women, and
not in low voice either.
To a certain extent Metz protests
| little too much. 1t is not likely that
what has been the most German of
German garrison population, should
at bound become wholly French
! There are too mony French labels, too
many tricolor cockades. In the train
a German-speaking peasant women
with large basket was offered a seat
by French polio" She refused,
looking daggers at him. This is an
attitude commanding respect. For
the most part, however, the public at
titude approaches the servile. At the
hotels the proprietors-of clearly Ger
man origin-fall over each other to
serve you. The hig hotels are cheap
and the food excellent.
The shops are crammed with things
calculated to appeal to the foreign oc-
cupiers. Picture postcards and guide
books, souvenirs or all kinds, French
!, German grammarS can all be had in
any number at very low price. There
is a general tendency to enter into
conversation. AS the occupier of q
conquered country, one feels a certain
reserve in speaking to the inhabitants
but the further you get into Germany
the more Germans are anxious to
speak to you, to give you information
Of any kind and even to discuss the
situation. At Saarbrucken, for in
stance, where arrived at II o'clock
at night, the German waiter at the
German hotel informed me within
two minutes of my arrival that he had
not served: that his grandfather was
| French; that his mother had been in
| France, and that it was a good thing
| the war was over.
In Metz they are less genealogical,
but outwardly as anxious to oblige.
They usually begin a conversation by
saying genially that it is good thing
the war is over All the time they are
expecting you to bully them, and theirs
| is sort of paw-up attitude. And,
as a French officer told me, you have
to do it sometimes; otherwise they
take it that you have no authority.
The people have a fairly well-fed
look Compared with those in some
of the French battlefields they look
robust The fat difficulty is, of
course, the worst. The bread is dis
tinctly bad, though it varies in the
different towns. On the whole, it be-
comes worse as you get further into
Germany.
/ wonder whether. under the French
the population of Metz will lose its
beaten look. It does not look conquer
ed-there is not enough over ill-feel-
ing for that-but it does look as
though it had been kicked and expect
ed to be kicked again.

fish on hand, probably twice as much

and the quality, the specialists say, is
as good as the so-called fresh fish that

the price is more reasonable because
the fish were caught in the season of
overproduction. The holdings include
some excellent kinds noted for their

whiting, and herring. People in large
cities where hard-frozen fish can be

A Six-HOur Day
Not Practicable

A six-hour working day with two
hour lunch period for every industry
is labor's vision of the industrial Eden
as expressed in demand by the La
Dor Congress recently held in Chicago
A two-hour lunch sandwiched in be-
tween two three-hour slices of labor
looks good, if served out impartially
to every working mortal and guaran-
teed to be permanent.
But it cannot be made general no1
can it be guaranteed to be permanent
not yet. The foundation industry Oh
the world, the production of bread, but
ter and meat, cannot be pursued on the
six-hour plan. Sun and rain and frost
determine the work hours of one-third
the agricultural third, of the labor OF
America. Farming cannot be made
permanently profitable without dom
este animals. These animals cannot
be left alone for eighteen hours out
of the twenty -four. The human ami
mails on the farm cannot be fifty bed
ded and fed by six hours of work Any
intelligent farmers wife can testify to
that.
The model division of the day into
eight hours for work, eight hours for
sleep, and eight hours for play, may
some day be realized for all labor that
is not at the mercy Of weather and
season. Such division seems rea-
sonable, for a decent margin for re-
creation is every mans birthright. But
the farmer by virtue of his calling is
coranplInd fo Snond ar certain seasons
more than eight hours in the field and
much of the rest of his waking time
in "choring around" IL he works with
horses he must feed them two hours
before they begin work, and he must
spend an hour after they quit work in
making them fit for the next days la
Dor. A ten-hour day for the team IN
rush seasons is a necessity, and this
means a thirteen hour day for the far
mer. Less than ten hours for the
horse means rise in the cost OF the
standard foods.

Before the war farming was not
superprofitable industry. 1t was ra-
Their a mode of living. It will go back
to that basis. Much of the food pro-
duced on American farms was produc-
ed at fictitiously low cost because
the soil was being robbed. For exam
pie, dollar wheat is an impossibility
in honest farming. 1t cannot be pro-
duced on the farm at that figure to-
day, if the fertility of the soil is main
tanned.
The practicability of the six-hour
day then depends on whether six hours
work in every industry will maintain
human life satisfactorily.
