GARMENT BADGE OF IDLENESS
Real Significance of Joseph's Goat of Many coiors" May Not Be Gen.
 orally Understood.

Do you know the real reason why Joseph's brethren hated him and sold him to a band of Ishmaelites and into slavery and after first deciding to slay him?
 You remember the story in Gene sis-which, by the way, is the most in- teresting book in the Bible-that Jo- 5eph's father gave him "coat of many colors."
 The father did not give the other brothers coats of many colors, for, as stated in the story, he loved him more than the others.
 Now here is the real reason Joseph was hated:
 "A coat of many colors" of that time, in the land of Canaan and ad- joining civilizations, was a badge of idleness.
 The sleeves of coat of many colors came down almost to the finger tips to indicate that the wearer did no manual labor.
 AS late as the French revolution in Europe, and even in our Colonial time here in America, certain gentlemen wore lace on their coat sleeves that covered their hands, thereby indicat- ing that so far as they were con- cerned there was nothing doing" in the way of actual work.-Cottrelrs Magazine.

Philippines Grow Best Hemp.

Hemp may grow all over the world, but the famous Philippine fields are the ones we know best as yet. They have a real monopoly on the crop, as their soil seems to be especially adapt ed for it. The abaca, as they call 1t looks very much like the banana tree. They belong to the same family, but the fruit of the hemp tree is not edible and the fiber of the banana is not trong enough to use.
 The very best quality of hemp grown in the Philippines comes from the fields about Mount Mayon in Luzon The dust and ashes of this majestic volcano have formed the most perfect soil for its culture, soil that is found nowhere else in the world.

 Sophia the mosque of Yeni Valideh Sultan, the wife of Ahmed l, is the most wonderful. The effect of these tile-lined walls, as seen from Galata bridge, with their elaborate interlac- ing patterns and borders, is extremely striking and there seems to be nothing quite comparable to it. The tiles in this old mosque are considered to be among the finest in all Constantinople.

 pn Friday evening there will be a meeting at the Misses Palmer and D4nning's to which all are invited. Rev. and Mrs. Bacheler are pleased tol receive calls at any time, but will make point of being at home every Monday afternoon from until 5 o'clock.
 Rainy Sundays are discouraging for church workers, but when on April 9th the time changes on the Hill to afternoon an increased attendance may be expected.
 Mrs. G. V. Smiths party on Wednes- day afternoon, that included all the npighboring ladies for social visit and to meet Mrs. Theodore Bacheler, was very pleasant and the invitation was generally responded to. The sick ones, Oscar Hemmeller, Howard Pratt, Clarence Eldredge, Ernest Wilson, Miss Mascinda and several others are all on the gain, but are still enjoined by their friends, in cluding the faithful physician, to be careful.
 It will be seen by the usual legal notice that immediately following the special town meeting, called for 2 o'clock next Monday afternoon, at the hall in South Wilmington, the annual
 meeting of the Wilmington Cemetery association will be held. This associ ation is incorporated, but it is not in tended to be a close corporation, and if the management is left to the few faithful ones and the meetings are at tended by the officers only, and other voters do not join in course of events, there will be no association. This is matter of general interest and a town pride, and without specification it may be said that this year of all years it would seem natural that par ticular interest should be shown in
 this meeting by large attendance
 and by the enrolment of new mem-
 bers.

Into Violations of the
Laws of War.

LONDON, Thursday. January 8
Proceedings against the former Ger
man emperor are advised in a special
report by a subcommittee of the COM
mission charged with inquiring into
violations of the laws of war, ap-
pointed two months ago.
The parent body has done great
deal of work through its subcommit-
tees, each of which was assigned
some particular phases of violations
charged against enemy countries.
Plans for tribunal which will try
cases in which violations of the laws
of war are alleged have already been
submitted.
One of the most difficult phases of
the work has been the inquiry into
i'll treatment of prisoners, their en-
ployment behind the firing lines. i'll
legal methods of warfare. misuse of
the Red Cross flag. bombardments of
hospitals and the executions of Miss
Edith Cavell and Capt. Fryatt. The
subcommittee having this work in
charge has already examined about
100000 cases of ill treatment of pris-
oners and has about $50. 900 more to
investigate. The subcommittee has
already submitted an interim report
on the employment of prisoners be-
hind the firing lines and in German
mines and quarries.

Would Limit Activities.

Senator Calder recommended that
the activities of the fleet corporation
in connection with the work OF
privately-owned yards having con-
tracts for ships should be limited to
the proper inspection of the work
and to rendering assistance in the
supplying of materials and facilities,
and that the work in government
owned yards should be carried on
under the immediate control and di-
rection of the fleet corporation.
Statistics show, the New York sem
ator said. that the shipping program
is progressing at approximately 40
per cent of scheduled speed" and that
the final completion of the work
under contract will probably take
nearly a year longer than the time
allowed in the contracts"

Labor Discipline Disregarded.

I'm the policy adopted toward labor
there has been practically no effort
made to enforce ordinary discipline or
to indicate to the workingmen gener-
ally that they were expected to rem
der fair return of work for the high
wages paid, The records indicate that
in many instances men being paid by
the piece. with the pc ssibility of MAX
ing from $50 to $50 a day, did three
times the quantity of similar work
performed by men on per diem
basis.
This condition is due in large
NJ Measure to the apparent disregard for
expense. the grossly excessive office
and supervisory forces employed and
the knowledge among the working
men of the very high salaries being
paid. 1t is an interesting fact that
the Hog Island shipyard overhead ex-
penses are averaging today the sum
of Sl.1o0,o00 month. and since the
start of the work in this yard the

have exceeded sl6,S00.0o0.

Mr.. Calder Says Men Without

Have Served.

Senator Calder of New York. repub-

charged that the shipping board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation have
operated in an unbusinesslike manner
with apparent disregard for expense"
and urged that Congress determine the
boards general policies and limit the
scope of it's activities. Senator Calder
is A member of the Senate commerce
committee, which has been investigat-
ing shipbuildnG for many months.
The shipping board" said Senator
Calder. has at no time been made up
of men with knowledge of shipping
or shipbuilding problems. There have
been many changes in personnel, and.
consequently. in it's policies. A very
large part Of the time and the energies
of the fleet corporation has been given
over to building up a great and cum
berSome system of supervision with
reports and statistics on every con-
ceiVable subject connected with the
work, rather than to the building of
ships as an emergency measure.
