Wilson and Garfield Figures.
Secretary of Labor Wilson proposed
that the miners be given an increase of
81 81 per cent Mr.. Norris explained
because he based his calculations on the
pay Of pick miners. In 1917, when
wages were rcadiusted the pick miners
were getting the greatest amount and
the scales were balanced by giving them
a lesser increase than other classes of
labor around the mines. This was neees-
sary in order to induce men to do the
other work.
DIR. Garfield decided that particular
wage group ought not to serve as ba-
sis for calculations and took the average
wage Of all workers. After arriving a.

per cent would compensate them for

whit kind of stuff its men were made

that information.
Much Trouble in Alsace.
American troops that saw service in
| the mountainous Alsace country had
the greatest difficulties with the spy
evil. Behind the Franco-American
lines were n large number of people
who were German-born and who re-
tained their sympathies for the kaiser.
| The country offered unusually good op-
portunities for spies because of its
hilly, wooded nature. On several
nights, when American troops were eli
tering the trenches to relieve other
units. rockets and colored lights shot
up from hills behind the American
front. The German artillery promptly
responded to this tip by pounding the

size, three and four feet across. For
this reason they should be given plenty
Of space. One plant will usually pro-
duce all the sage required by family
The broad-leaved variety is commonly
grown. Two or three cuttings of the
young, tender shoots can be made dur
ing the season. AS a rule, the tender
tips of the branches are cut about four
inches in length and tied in small
punches to dry. Sage is used especial
ly for fiayoring pork sausage and in
dressings for poultry.
Other savory herbs which are de
sirable for home use or marketing are
mint, taragOn, sweet basil, dwarf basil.
cOriander, balm, thyme, hOrehound,
summer savOry, sweet fennel and sweet
marjoram.
Curing and Storing Herbs.
The most important point in connec
tiOn with producing good savory herbs
is proper curing. The tender stems,
leaves and flowers, where included,
should be taken from the plants at the
proper stage and then dried in the
shade. A very good plan is to tie
them in small punches. allowing some
space on the string between each
bunch, then roll loosely in a piece Of
paper, leaving both ends of the roll
open SO that the air will pass through.
The roll may be held by rubber bands
or short pieces of string and hung up
in the shade to dry. In order to pre-
vent the punches Of herbs sliding out
Of the paper the string should be at
tached to the nail, or whatever they
are to be hung upon, and then wrapped
around the roll Of paper and tied.
After being thoroughly dry. the herbs
should be taken down and each indi-
vidual bunch Of herbs wrapped In par
affin paper to retain its color and
flavor and also to protect the herbs
from dust.
For marketing the small packages
can be packed in pasteboard boxes in
any desired number. They are usually
sold by the dozen. Much depends upon
the attractiveness and appearance of
the herbs when they are put up for the
market. Exposure to dust does not
conform to modern ideas. Care should
be taken that the herbs do not become
crushed in handling.

Thus far the fleet has covered an
area containing 1000 mines. OF these
45 per cent have been accounted for.
Where the remaining 65 per cent are
nobody knows. Captain Sexton esti-
mated the mine hunt would keep the
sweepers busy until October or No
vember. 1t involves a personnel OF
about $500.
When the word was first mOuthed
around through the ranks that Ameri-
can gObs were going to pick up the
mines they helped to lay II short time
before. the general opinion was that
1t would be one Of the most thrilling
Jobs yet And no one has been disap-
pointed. Equipped with maps show
ing approximately where every mine
was dropped, the flotilla started out
in twOs. each pair dragging cable be-
tween them.
Mines Sown In Strings.
The mines, the map said, were sewn
In strings. All the sweepers had to
do was to straddle the line. pass from
one end to the other, and the cable,
between them, would do the rest.
OF course, the particular mine In
question wouldn't be the only one to go
Off The concussion would always set
off others Immediately adjoining, and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two exigencies were provided
for on the map under the titles "zone
of extreme danger" "zone of possible
danger" and beyond that "zone of
safety" In addition, there would be a
few other mines free-lancIng around in
all three zones.
The first few days were rather dis
astrous. Captain Sexton and his staff
in London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually. with
Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans
seemed to be getting on top of the
job, until now Captain Sexton is con-
fident they are going to clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.

large number of spies against the
Americans Immediately after the first
Yankee contingents landed in France
and kept augmenting their numbers.
The American army was made the OBJ

Germans recognized that, If the war
continued until the summer of 1918
and then Tapped over into 1919 1t was
the American army that would figure
largely in allied operations. They
wanted to find out what kind of an

large amount of valuable information
