ones hands before eating. but the
habitual performance of these and
nine other health chores" becomes
obligatory.
In the tournament the standing OF
school classes will be measured by the
average lumber Of credits won by its
members daily in performing the pre-
scribed chores. Twenty minutes a day
for one month sEd ten minutes a day
thereafter |1il be all the school time
required.
The crusade will also embrace work
in community health and sanitation
including anti-fy, rat and mice drives

PAYS TRIBUTE TO WORK
OF CIVILIAN EMPL0
Admiral Earle Compliments Vast
Army of Workers in Ordnance
and Munitions Plants.

Rear Admiral Ralph Earle. chief
of the bureau of ordnance, has paid
high tribute TO the work done by the
civilian personnel of the bureau and
OF naval plants and depots and thou
sands of employees of private plants
engaged in making ordnance and mu-
nitions for the Navy.
At the time of signing of the ar
ristice there were employed more
than $4,000 civilian, $4,000 men and
1000 women. Many of these were
employed at plants which are part
of the regular establishment of the
bureau. such as the naval gun factory
here, where 5,529 men and 81 women
were employed: at the proving
grounds at Indian Head Md. 1880
men and women: at the naval ord
nance plant, Charleston. W. Va, S12;
at the optical annex, Rochester. n. Y.
552 men and 329 women. In addition
to the above. 2,274 men ard women
were employed at the various naval
ammunition depots on the east and
west coasts.
A far greater number were enga ged
in the manufacture and production
of ordnance material at the privately
owned plants. Many of these never
lad any experience in this line. They
net the test successfully in every
case.
Admiral Earle says the credit given
the civilian personnel for helping to
win the war belongs to men and
women alike. as the latter We're al
ways efficient, whether employed as
clerks. machine operators, primer
workers, inspectors, benchworkers,

ence here this afternoon with a brief
address, showing the difficulties he.
Samuel Gompers, the president of the
American Federation of Labor; Albert
Thomas, the French labor leader, and
Emile Vandervelde, the Belgian social

name of Hjalmar Brantirg, the Swed-
ish socialist leader. for president. He
was elected unanimously.
1t was officially announced that
eighty delegates representing twenty
one different countries were peresent.
and that more were expected soon, in
Guiding seventeen Americans. Camille
Ruysman, Belgian leader. explained
briefly that only two countries had re-
fused to participate-Belgiu because
the socialists there considered the
conference too radical and the Swiss,
because they thought it too moderate.
1t was announced that Japanese
socialist was present. A cordial mes
sage of greeting from Gustave Muller,
the Swiss socialist leader, who re-
signed on Saturday after his party re-
fused to participate in the conference,
was read.

Transportation by Red Cross.

The first idea preached was to have
the cast give an entertainment out
at the hospital. The inadequacy of its
stage arrangements for a production
of the character in which they are
acting. however. led subsequently to
the suggestion of a special perform
ance and the bringing of all the men
able to make the automobile journey
into Washington. The motor trans
port service and other branches of
the Red Cross are to attend to the
transportation details of this exodus
of patients.

of supplies and accounts of the Navy
Department who is a local motor
transport expert and in whose hands
were placed all the details of the vol

the influenza epidemic here, will be
asked to cooperate in the work of
getting the boys in and out of the
city.
The Red Cross will also probably
be requested to provide companions
for the men during their journey and
ushers for the occasion, while several
plans regarding music for the occa-
sion and other features are now
being worked out jointly by The Star.
the National Theater and the Red
Cross. Col. Schreiner. superintendent
of the hospital, has given his cordial

the world nameless calamities and
threatened to harrow up civilization it

that all hopes Of a Just and lasting
