CAN YOU live
ON SIS WEEKLY
Government Experts Place This
Sum as The Smallest
Livable Income

Can you live on $15 weekly B?
Government experts say that the
smallest weekly amount on which
a woman living in what is known
as third" class city can main
tain herself decently, is $15.
Could you make $15 week COW
er all your living expenses, from
one years end to the other? And
if you are doing it, or intend do
ing it, just how?
Room and Board, S6.67.
Room and board, according to gov
eminent figures, should cost the $l5
per week feminine workers, 1857;
this sum to include lunches. Clothing
is placed at $3.50, with $3.50 left for
all other and miscellaneous expendi-
lures, such as car fare, dentist and
doctor bills, laundry, all purchases
not actually clothing, an occasional
picnic or movie, and so on. The
unreckoned weekly balance of 8 cents
may account for postage, but other
wise it will not go far.
War, it is to be hoped, is over for
ever, but changing economic condi-
tions at any time may work hardship,
to poorly or even well-paid workers.
The part of wisdom. therefore, is to
make some sort of provision, however
slender, however arduously accom-
plished, for such possibility. The
slighter the regular financial margin,
the sterner the necessity For such
necessities and emergencies Thrift
and War Savings Stamps most admir-
ably suffice

THIRD CONTINGENT
REACHES SIBERIA
FOR RELIEF WORK

vladivostok, Siberia (By MaiD At
lantic, Northern and Northwestern d.
visions Of tie American RED Cross ure
represented In a group of Red Gross
workers who have just arrived here
and are being sent to various stations
from Vladiyostok to Omsk, nearly
1000 miles. 49,
This group Is the third of series
made up of doctors, nurses, civilian re-
lief workers, warehouse men, army
camp service men and others, enrolled
through Washington in response to n
call from Siberia for additional help
for the American Red Cross men and
women who have been carrying on"
through the winter and spring. Cities
as far apart as New York and Port
land, Ore, have sent their representa-
tives. \ considerable group Is from
Seattle.
Ten of the group of twenty-five who
sailed from Seattle on April "a are
now on their way to Omsk, capital of
the present Siberian government.
Omsk is the western headquarters of
the Siberian Commission Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and from this head
quarters there will be further distri-
button of workers. Two days after it's
arrival at Vladivostok the group board
ed Red Cross relief train headed for
the west, which now is the scene OF
greatest Red Cross activity.
Hospital and camp service work are
rapidly expanding in the vast territory
covered by the Red Cross Siberian
Commission. The commission still
needs more doctors and nurses than
have reached here to date. The distri-
button of American troops along the
line of the Trans-Siberian railway al
most to Lake Baikal, which is half
across Siberia, expands the camp serv-
Ice, which heretofore has been concen-
trated around Vladivostok and at Ha-
barosk, to the north.

Delays in France

Early in the development Stone &.
Webster developed a schedule of
construction operations and progress
expected, and from this worked UP a
schedule of shipments necessary to
meet construction program. In the
early stages deliveries at port of en-
barkatlon were very satisfactory. A
supply of material in excess of sche-
dule requirements was allowed to ac-
cumulate at port, so as to permit
speeding up construction in France if
possible. After a few months, how
ever, the Railroad Administration
placed embargo on all shipments,
which closed down receipt of mater
ial at port of embarkation. How
ever, instead of possibility of speed
ing up construction beyond original
schedule, conditions were such that
the work proceeded at much slower
speed. Construction was impeded BIZ
lack of material in France, and there
was always a supply at port of en-
brkation to fill out cargo space avail
able.
Of $4,000 tons of material re.
quired for the complete project, As
600 had been ightered before the
armistice. The material was Skinned
in nearly $50 boats, and the only loss
was one consignment of 700 tons
valued at $250,000 on steamer "Mon-
tanan", sunk Aug. 10, 1918, pre.
sumably by German torpedo. OF
over 5000 cars shipped inland manv
were delayed and frequently re.
loaded, but only eight failed to reach
destination. 1t would be difficult f.
better this record even in times of
peace, and for it the army transpor.
tation department is entitled to high
credit.
Construction in France was al
times very slow and discouraging
owing to difficulty of determining
actual requirements, transportation
difficulties, continual shifting of Ia.
Dor, and scarcity of such building ma.
terials as had to be bought locally
However, storage space and shor
facilities were always ready in ad.
vance of requirements. Construction
work ceased Nov. 25, 1918.
Again at Hog Island this company
has done most remarkable work to
help win the war, as will be seen
from the following letter from
Charles A. Stone, president of the
Connecticut western news. [volume] (Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Conn.) 1871-1970, 1919-09-11

buildings not required by tentative
layouts were included in early pur-
chases, with expectation that addi-
tional storage capacity would be es-
tablished at different points.
Amounts Bought and Shipped
The following shows tonnage and
value of all material purchased, lost
at sea and landed in France:
Amount purchased-62,0 900 tons,
Value SIS, 100000.
Amount held in United States
1850 tons, Value $3,1OO,OOO.
Total amount shipped to France
500 tons, Value $12,400,000.
Amount lost in transit-700 tons,
Value $25O,O00.
Amount landed in France-47,8 800
tons, Value $12,150,OOO.
When the armistice was signed
shipments overseas were discontin-
ued.' Frames for IL typical store
houses and 60 or 70 smaller build
ings remained at point of embarka-
ton.
Electrical work covered light and
power supply for the seven subdivi-
sions and it's distribution Lighting
consisted chiefly of 200 to 500-watt
nitrogen filled lamps in steel refec-
tors, supplemented by flexible fix
lures on benches and extension cords
for machine tools. Shops with ex-
cessive fire hazard were lighted by
improved type of gasproof unit. Pow
er for machine tools, cranes, gun
shrinking furnaces, welding outfits,
ETC., was supplied at 44O volts, g.
phase, while machine tools that re-
quired adjustable speed drive were
provided with 230-volt direct current
motors. A total of $50 motors and
200 transformers were provided.
Mechanical service throughout
shops and storehouses was furnished
by travelling cranes, jib cranes,
handhoists, industrial track and
gravity conveyors. There are 40
electric travelling cranes of ten to
3O-ton capacity, serving larger ma
chine tools. There are 200 lib
cranes, $50 I-beam trolleys and 400

pair plant. For storehouses there
are 10 miles of industrial track, 400

FIRST Aid COURSE
TO help PREVENT
'WASTAGE' OF LIFE
Red Cross Plans instruction for
Industrial Establishments and
Schools in, America.

The Flra: Aid Division of the Amerf-
can Red Cross is mapping out plans to
advance proficiency n accident pre-
ventiou among industrial workers and
among the public at large, according to
an announcement made by Ethan Al.
len, Manager of the Atlantic Division.
1t is the hope of the Red Cross that
ultimately every man, woman and child
III the country will be trained In the
administration of standard first aid
methods. There is particular need of
immediate training I'm this respect in
Industrial plants and schools, and an
especially good field for this work Is
afforded In the great industrial CEN
tiers and factory towns in the territory
OF the Atlantic Division OF the Red
Cross.
In the very recent past there were
hundreds OF deaths annually as the re-
suit OF inattention during the first few
minutes Immediately following acct
dents in factories, mines and other In
dustrlal centers. Several OF the States,
recognizing this condition, have lately
enacted laws providing for First Aid
training in big plants, and almost
weekly greater and greater numbers
of establishments are voluntarily TAX
ing up the work In States where II is
not compulsory by law. 4
Based on Modern Surgery.
The Red Cross First Aid instruction
imparts the necessary knowledge to
care for sudden injuries by means of
lectures and practical demonstrations
based on the latest findings of modern
surgery, augmented by common sense.
In such knowledge lies a material con-
servation of the Industrial power OF
the nation to say nothing of the hui
manitarian advantage.
The value of First Aid is SO appar-
ent as TO need no explanation. The life
of child may often be saved by the
intelligent application of simple relief
methods that cannot be delayed except
with fatal consequences until a doctor
Is summoned. Many workman meets
with serious accident and dies on his
way to a hospital who might have re-
covered had there been an application
of First Aid in the few minutes imme-
uIately following nis injury
1t has also been proved that efficient
First Aid treatment shortens the time
lost by disabled workmen. Hospital
records have shown that patients who
have received First Aid treatment at
the scene OF their injuries are invarla-
bly, in better condition upon entering
the hospital than those who have not
and are discharged sooner. This has
been confirmed by railroads, by mining
md lumScr Industries and other large
concerns where the employees are es-
pecially liable TO accident
There is apparent also need for
such instruction and training in
schools. At formative period OF their
lives chi,drea and young persons learn
First Aid efficiency even more quickly
than adults,
