Wages depend upon production When
they exceed the value of the labor that

of the product the factory must close its
doors. Farmers will not exchange food.

WILL MAKE INDUSTRY SAFE.
Division Charged with Removing Dangers
in Daily Work.

How safety work will be carried on
BY the working conditions service, de.
partment of labor, is explained in a cir
cular letter and pamphlet now being
sent to thousands Of manufacturing
plants and other employers throughout
the country.
One of the first steps is a study Of
the dangers in certain industries and
the formation of safety regulations that
will eliminate much of the hazard. The
service will also encourage experiments
on safety appliances and practices and
the interchange of safety ideas in indus
try.
In establishments where exceptional
dangers are an integral part Of industry
such as mines and explosive plants, the
service ia trying to develop the best pos.
sIble plans for cooperation by safety
and medical officials in the event Of emer.
gencies.
Plans for shop safety organization are
being developed for different Industries
and for various skilled and unskilled
trades These plans viii be adapted in a
way suited to diversified nationalities
in different stages of Americanization,
where this is necessary.
Record cards, survey forms, filing sys-
TENS, charts and analytical procedure
have been standardized in order that
safety engineers may have uniform sys.
TENS for collecting and interpreting data
on plant hazards and injuries,
Systematic elimination of the princi-
pal dangers in industry, and protection
for workers generally, comes within the
field of the service A wide program Of
education through publications, confer
ences, lectures, and organization now en-
gagged in safety work is contemplated.

It's easy enough TO pick at the flaws
In the work that others have done,
To point the errors that others have
made.
When sour own task you haven t
begun
It's easy enough to fuss and find fault
When others are doing their best,
To sheer at the little that they have
achieved,
When you have done nothing but rest
IT'S easy enough to cavil and carp.
To criticize, scof and deride,
For few Of ua ever have done perfect

A rousing reception was given the
Jennings Calvary in New Orleans
Tuesday and in Jennings Tuesday at
ternoon and all day Wednesday,. 1t
was a real welcome home to the boys
who as whole unit from this state
saw more active service than any one
unit from Louisiana. They saw SER
vice, covered themselves with glory
and are entitled to all the honors
shown them and more. They evidently
were impressed with the welcome, as
it exceeded all previous efforts. This
unit was with the famous 42nd Divi-
sion, the Rainbow Division, and was
one of the first units to go to France.
Among this unit was Mr.. Nolan Tay-
lor, son of Mr.. John B. Taylor of this
town. His mother went to New Or
leans to meet and greet him. We can
all feel and appreciate the happiness
of the mother, father and family In
having their son safely back home
again. A number of Thibodaux people
went to Schriever Tuesday to see the
boys go by and told Nolan hello. Nor
gan City and New Iberia gave the
boys rousing receptions on their way
to Jennings.
There are also two other Lafourche
boys with the Jennings Calvary in the
person of Messrs Nathalie Lee and
Mr.. Paul Marcombe, both from the
tenth ward in the vicinity of the Cut
Off.

EARLY ONE
Back HOME.

Lieut.. Clarence Bourg, son of Mayor
N. T. Bourg, reached here last Friday
afternoon after we had gone to press.
He just reached American
shores from France with
the Headquarters of General Per-
shing, where he was in the Office, since
the early summer of 1917. He saw the
building of the American Army in
France, being in close touch with Off
cial headquarters, being of the official
family, saw our handful grow to huge
proportions until the enemy hordes
were by our numbers driven back to
cover, to utter defeat, dismay and
route. Saw the signing Of the armisti-
ce followed by a period of suspense.
When he left France the enemy only
remained to sign the peace handed to
him. Clarence is looking the pink of
health and the homecoming was agree
able. although touched with sorrow,
because of the fact that brother had
departed for the Great Beyond, and he
had not learned of it previous to his
reaching Louisiana. He will spend a
few weeks here after which he will re-
turn to Washington, from which point
he enlisted for over seas service, ac-
cept Government position and take
his last year in law at Georgetown
University.
