YANKEE ATHLETE
 HAS WAR RECORD

BRAINERD, Minn-Jimmy Light body, who won many a long dis tance race for the University of Chicago, and who later tried to make an athlete of the German crown prince, was on the job in France when the Germans capitu- lated, serving as a lieutenant with the American forces.
 Mrs. Katherine Lightbody, of Chicago, mother of the noted ath- lete, who has been visiting with friends at Gilbert Lake, near here, received a letter from her son writ ten late in October He related his experiences at the front and assured her that "the war would end soon"
 Lightbody is married and has two children. When war was declared, he arranged his business affairs as quickly as possible and entered the officers training camp at Fort Sheri- dan. After he won his commission, he was sent to Camp Grant, where he instructed soldiers in German.
 After Lightbody graduated from the University of Chicago, he took up t-graduate work at the Uni versity of Berlin. His athletic prowess attracted the attention of the Imperial family, and Lightbody had the crown prince and other sons of the kaiser in his athletic classes.

OLD STAMPEDER
 HELPS WIN WAR

SEATTLE.-COuld Ezra Meeker, the pioneer who has driven his OK team back to the national capital over the old Oregon trail, have slipped some of his 87 years from his stopped shoulders, he would have been a private at least in the great American army. This being inn possible, however, he harked back to the days when men lived by the toll of their hands, and raised a war garden on an acre and third of ground east of Lake Washington.
 Only recently, the veteran walked into the Red Cross rooms and laid down $257.S0, representing the sum he had realized from his toll.
 ''lt was a duty, and therefore a pleasure" he said simply. "And do not think anyone should take credit for doing what he considers duty"
 Private" Meeker disdained the modern tractor, and even the horse for cultivating his ground. He waged war on the weeds with hoe. Eight tons of fertilizer donated by a pack ing firm enriched the ground. A citizen paid for the cost of bringing water to the land for irrigation. Two Red Cross women marked the produce. At one end of the garden appeared this sign:
 "This garden is dedicated to the Defenders of Liberty"
 It was Private" Meeker's answer to the Hun.

JOB FOR THE NAVY

War time increase of the naval personnel from $500 to nearly 5OO,- 900 to man 1900 vessels instead of 176, is described in the annual re- port of Rear Admiral Leigh c. Palmer, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, made public recently. Every one of the ships in commis- sion, from battleships to cargo car riers, Admiral Palmer says has complete complements of officers and men with excess personnel to provide for training new drafts. The navy also provided armed guard and radio crews for merchant ves- sels ir transatlantic service.
 The great task now, in the opinion of Admiral Palmer, who recently was relieved from the bureau to take command of battleship, will
The Nenana daily news., 1919-01-03

be in furnishing 220,000 officers and men for the Shipping Board's merchant fleet, estimated to com prise l,924 vessels, by December, 1919. To accomplish this the per manent training facilities have been expanded so as to accommodate 10000 men at once. These include the Great Lakes station, with a capacity of 45,000; Newport and Hampton Roads, 25,000 each; and Pelham Bay, N. Y., 15,000; Hund- reds of ships are used as floating schools, each being assigned a cer- tain number of men to be taught the rudiments of seamanship, and IA institutions are conducting regu- lar courses in the training of officers.
 Notwithstanding the enormous expansion of the personnel, the re- port says, "the various units of the navy have reached a higher state of battle efficiency than ever be- fore"
 Enlistment statistics show that every state in the union contributed to the growth of the navy, such states as Montana and Nevada each sending more than l,50O men. There were 2,203 assertions during the year, but the percentage of de- sertions dropped from l.43 to .93.
 Admiral Palmer reports that roughly, 412,OOO of the 435,OOO men in the navy are native born, and 15,000 are naturalized citizens. New York alone furnished 32 per cent of the native born.

MISTAKES

When a lawyer makes a mistake he has a chance to try the case all over again.
 When a carpenter makes mis- take it means an "extra."
 When an electrician makes a mis- take he planes it on induction, be- cause nobody knows what that is.
 When a doctor makes a mistake he buries it.
 When a judge makes mistake it becomes law of the land.
 When a preacher makes mis- take nobody knows the difference.
 When a plumber makes mistake he charges twice for it.
 But when a home-builder makes mistake he usually has to live with it for the rest of his life. r~>n.n. AIa.ka,s Yutarior Tue1 napot

Tn tralnlng Tn the Unlted SCateS. The general health of the army has been surprisingly good, the re- port shows; the death rate for all forces, at home and abroad, up to August 30 having been at the rate of 5.9 per 1000 per year, or little more than the civilian rate for men of the same age group. It com pares with rate of 65 per 1000 per year during the Civil War, and 26 during the Spanish Wad. Pnu- monia caused 56 per cent of the deaths
 There were 316,00O cases of in fluenza among the troops in the United States during the late sum mer and fall and of the 20,500 deaths between September IA and November 8, 19,S00 are ascribed to the epidemic.
 Discussing the authorization serv- ice, Mir. Baker says that in 19 months total of 2,075,S34 men and 5,153,000 tons of cargo were shipped overseas, the great bulk of these movements having been handled after January 1 of this year. When hostilities ceased the service was engaging 3,OO0,0OO dead weight tons of American shipping and 800,000 more tons had been allocated it's use, with half million tons additional per month being delivered.
 In closing his report, Mir. Baker speaks this word for the men who fought the war at home:
 ''I desire again to express regret for its (the report's) insufficient cies, 1 am conscious of how far it falls short in the matter of just recognition of the accomplishments of my associates, of exhibiting in adequate measure the heroic achieve ments of our soldiers abroad, or of our soldiers and civilians at home, who have worked together to make this demonstration of Americas purpose and efficiency successful.
 Perhaps special word ought to be said in recognition of those who from civil life have come at the country's call to places of exacting toll and have been denied the oppor- tunity to participate abroad in the heroic adventure, but have, never theless, worked on, sometimes in uniform and sometimes without even that badge of distinction. Theirs has been in an unusual de- gree the call to self-sacrifice, but they have been none the less sol diers and have contributed in no small way to whatever success has attended our arms"

WAGES AND HEALTH

Good wages generally mean good health, according to Arthur k. Holder, member of the Federal Board for Vocatioa Education. The higher the wage the better would be the health of the employe and the greater his output, he told the American Public Health Association recently in an address in which he advocated on eght-hour day and increased wages.
 MT Holder, reports an Associated Press Correspondent, writing from Chicago, proposed that the federal health agencies be concentrated into one department with secre- tary at it's head and that the secre- tary should be member of the Presidents cabinet.
 Panics, said MT. Holder, were brought about more by negotiable
 
 distribution of wealth than by any other cause. He quoted statistics to show that in 1850 the wage earner obtained 23A cents of every dollars worth of value he created, but that in 1910 he got only l6h cents
 "Formerly," he added, "when the laborer got 23 cents in wages for each dollar of his product, panics occurred about once in twenty years, as witness 1887, 1857, 1877. Since real wages shrunk to 16 cents on the dollar, panics roll around more frequently as the record shows-1S84, 1894, 1907, 1914.
 Nothing influences our individ- ual health more than severe changes in our economic life. During busy periods workers are literally rushed 
 to death. During panicky periods the workers and employers spend a large part of their energy fretting their lives away.
 "Since the union cigarmakers adopted the eight hour day in 1886, from twelve to fifteen years have been added to the average life of the cigarmakers, he added. Similar experiences have been recorded by other organized wage earners. The workers realize that health is their capital. To keep health or improve health means increased power to produce"
 The following provisions were in cluded in the labor program for health and safety which Holder ad- vocated
 "Continued agitation for a short CT work day to maximum of eight hours for all manual toilers; de, mand for a higher minimum wage for all labor; release from work at least one full day in seven; elimina. tion of the sweat-shcp system; en- forcement of rigid child labor laws abolition of mint work by women and minors; equal pay for equal work regardless of sex"
