about %, or over three times as
hard as pure tin.
The mixing of this cooper and
antimony with the tin is not an
easy matter, because tin melts at
45S deg. f., antimony at 7S6 deg.
r., and copper at 1882 deg F. In
order to get the copper and ant
imony properly introduced to this
mass of tin requires an under
standing Of how to handle these
metals at their widely varying
temperatures. There is more to
it than just putting them all into
a pot and melting them, Genuine
babbitt properly made shows a
.matrix of tin and all throught
the mass are crystals composed of
tin, antimony, copper and ant
imony and tin and copper. These
crystals constitute the bearing
points in genuine babbitt. All
other lining alloys to tin, copper,
antimony and lead are of the same
structure to a more or less extent.

lents. A fair wage determines
such a reward.
We hear on every hand strong
condemnation of high prices. Yet
why should prices be lowered?
Thousands of business men have
thousands of dollars tied up In
ihigh-priced raw material and 'iher
chandise. Should extent these
men will be forced to sell at a loss.
Many would go bankrupt. Their
loss will reach out and affict
others. Labor likewise will suf-
fer in unemployment. The mo-
ment prices begin to take a gene
raj tumble downward we can look
for an industrial crisis very soon
afterwards. Instead of lowering
prices or allowing conditions to
arise which will force them down
ward, let us raise all wages and
salaries up to ther proper level
with prices.
About three-fourths of our pO-
pulatiOn, which is gainfully Oc-
cupied, are wage and salary earn
ers. Hence they are in a big ma
jority. Anything that is good for
them, then, is good for the major
ity, and in all democracies major
ity must rule. But the theories
+ have advanced are also good Tor
the minority. A proper s0lution
of the wage, or a wage scale in its
correct ration to price schedules.
The fair wage, when 1t Is pro-
perly determined, will establish
industrial democracy, universal
peace and the brotherhood Of man.

AID FROM EVERY SIDEL
Ererybody acGaots the disabled
soldier to, make good.

Washington, July 16.-Educa-
tional institutions have altered
their courses to suit the desires
of disabled soldiers applying for
entrance. Intercollegiate courses
are being offered, in order to
meet the requirements of students
without sufficient preparation for
work of regular college grade.i
Entire new subject have been
introduced into the curriculum.
One State College is providing
for camp cooks which
is that particular locality offers
good openings, as the demand is
large and the pay good.
State legislatures have made
appropriations sufficiently large
to cover all expenses Of tuition
and other fees Of disabled ser
VICE men.
Employers advertise for the
services of discharged disabled
men, not with the idea of exploit
tation, but because Of their en-
larged vision and broader expe-
fiences gained through their ser
vice, makes them satisfactory
employers.
Workers in the various and
commercial establishments in
which disabled men have been
placed have almost universally
welcome the opportunity of as
sisting them by kindness and
consideration in their efforts to
refrain and reestablish themsel-
yes in the work they have under
taken, as self-reliant, indepen-
dent, self-respecting American ci-
tizens.
The Federal Board for Vocatio-
nal Education, whose central Of
fee is located at 200 New Jersey
Ave, Washington, is the admins
tratiye agency for the reeduca-
| tion Of the returned soldier. Any
desired information on the sub
ject may be obtained by writing

1915 both wages and prices had
increased the same per cent, or so
per cent, we will say. Then in
1915 the wage Garner would be
receiving $3O'per week for his liv-
ing expenses and saving $3.50. His
savings would be the same per
cent. they would represent the
same purchasing power that they
did in 1909. In other words, his
dollar would be exactly the same
size that it was in 1909. So a
fair wage establishes an invaria-
BILE measure of value and all
business would profit immensely
from this.
A fair wage, or a wage in its
correct ratio to prices, solves the
foreign market problem, because
then, when universally establish
ed, we can consume so much Of
our production at home that we
can very readily find foreign mar
kets for the balance.
A fair wage, or a wage in its
correct ration to prices, builds up
home, the standard of living.
Thus fair wage builds up the
nation and all share the benefits
thus obtained.
A fair wage, or a wage in it's
correct ratio to prices, will sloye
the greatest Of all reconstructive
problems. Industrial democracy
must be the solution Of these great
problems. And Industrial demo-
cracy is simply rewarding men
industrially according to their ta-

What is a fair wage? This is a
very broad and deep question. It

this time that will point the way

But / wish to impress the impor-
tance of the question upon my
readers attention. Great minds
of all schools of thought must
yield their time to its discussion
and solution. Much depends upon
it.
And as we begin to look into,
this question, the first fact that is
called to our attention is that a
wage to be fair must be fair to
everybody concerned. Three part
les are directly concerned in the
wage question. They are the EN-
|ployer, the employe, and the mer-
chant. A wage to be fair to all
of these parties must represent a
certain value of proportion of
production. If the employer pays
more than this certain value he
is not receiving sufficient returns
for his invested capital, hence
this capital can not be at all
sufficient to the labor involved
and as a result both this labor
and capital, will be shorn Of its
efficiency and decay will tend to
set in. If the employer does not
pay as this wage as much as this
certain value of production the Ia
Dor he employs will be handicap
ped, its efficiency will be lessened,
and consequently both employer
and employe viii suffer. The mer-
chant is simply the factor Of ex-
change in society. A wage to be

wage will stimulate demand and
thereby enable the merchant to
receive his just share of the fruit
Iof production.
A wage to be fair must guaran-
tee the worker more than mere
existence for him and his family.
He must have funds to educate,
his children with, that they may,
be benefit to society. He is ent--,
tiled to certain periods of rest;
and recreation, that his labor may
be the more efficient. He is ent---
tiled to a comfortable, well-fur-t
nished home, and society is bene-
fited by the fact he can enjoy
such conditions. He makes a bet
ter workmn for his employer and
a better customer for the mer-
chant. &.
Then again, l repeat, a wage to.
be fair must be in it's correct
ratio to prices. This is the point
to. strive for. This is what we
must discover-fhe correct ratio
between wages and prices. When
We have found that, we have solv-l
ed the great wage question. Stat
fistics prove that as a general rule.
prices advance more rapidly than
wages. Somehow or other wages
can't keep up.
From 1909 to 1915, a normal
business period, wages in this
country advanced on the average
of only 11.5 per cent, while prices
on the average increased 25.9 per-
cent. We Will presume that in
1909 a wage Garner was receiving
E$15 per week and that his actual
living expenses were $12'per'week
allowing him a saving of $500 per
week. Then, according to statis--
tics, this same wage Garner would
be receiving in 1915, $16.72 per
week, paying out $3.50 for his
living expenses and saving only
E$1.62 per week against So per
week in 1909. Thus he is in a
worse condition than he was in
1909. This tends to cause the
workingman's dollar to CONT
|nually grow smaller, because in
spite of his wage increases his
dollar purchases less than before.
Economists have studied the
theory OF value and have become
fquite well agreed that the value
of a commodity is the amount of
labor its possession will relieve.
All agree that labor is essential
to create value, but they are very
much puzzled over how to measure
this value. They are much divid-
led as to what should constitute an
linvariable measure Of value. The
dollar is by custom and law the
measure Of value in this country.
But it is not inyariable, as / have

Men at Torpedo Station

Concerning the erection of houses
in Alexandria for the mechanics who
will be employed at the Torpedo
Station the committee composed of
N. B. Harlow and w. Albert
Smoot that several days ago DIS
cusscd the situation with Rear Adj
imral Ralph Earle has ascertained
that the Bureau of Industrial Hous-
ing and Transportation will not
erect any houses.
This committee had Rear Admiral
Earle take up the matter with l.. K.
Sherman, director of the Bureau of
Industrial Housing and Transporta-
ton. Mr.. Sherman among other
things in letter written to Rear
Admiral Earle says that he has au-
thority only to rent. operate and
sell its buildings and lands con-
structed or acquired since the first
of last July.
This. therefore. means that the
citizens of Alexandria will have to
get together and erect houses if
they desire the Torpedo Station to
