ManpoWer-Make Il Pay.

When production falls behind and

the wise captain of industry, now
sends in a hurry-up call for the doc
tor, the new type of plant efficiency
expert who has more than made
good.
The world war cleared the field for

America races with other nations in

Manpower was never before re-
garded as such an important factor
in industry. Every diseased man
on company payroll is liability
rather than an asset. Business ex-
perts have failed to take this into
consideration. They have allowed
for a maximum loss Of time among
employees, attempted to tighten up on

power and he tackled the biggest
problem first. venereal diseases.
He had learned his lesson well
from thu army. 1t was that venereal
disease disabled more soldiers than
any other ailment. It was safe to
assume the same cause disabled more
employees in civil life, as the highest
rate of infection in the army was
among the drafted men.
Remarkable results have already
been secured. A big manufacturing
concern in West Virginia followed
the advice Of a health expert and in
stalled a clinic for the free treat
ment Of venereal disease at a cost Of
between $1,000 and $4,000 for the
drst year. The plant had a payroll
during this period Of $l25.000. The
president Of the company has in
formed the United States Public
Health Service that as q result of
the clinic treatment labor efficiency
was improved 80 La per cent. which
he said made the return from the in

Editorial Comment
Kicked Into War.
(Riddeford Journal)

(Rlddeford JournaD
Mr.. McAdoo twhere have we seen
that name before?) hobs up serenely
with the remark that "a Democratic
administration waged successful
war" Perhaps Mr.. McAdoo thinks
such statement will help his party.
4 majority of the people of this
country arc. not fools. however. and
they know that the war was waged
by the whole nation, and that this
action was more or less in spite of
many Of the leaders in the party of
the administration. It is all a matter
of history. IN analysis Of the votes
in congress upon all measures of
preparation and the declaration Of
war itself will show conclusively that
the Democratic administration to
which McAdoo refers had to be
kicked into line and then propped up
to keep it from turning tail and run
ming away.

SHE SAYS.

Perhaps few people know that
Harry G. Hawker. pilot of the miss

Amusement to those who know him
by reason Of his incredible tough
ness" He flies high on cold days
without extra clothing. and he at
without the use OF oxygen. Most
pilots. would without oxygen. have
become insensible long before they
reached that height.
On this occasion Hawker returned
to earth by tipping his machine into
nose dive and coming down like
rocket stick. Only a man in the
prime Of physical fitness could have
stood such long test. Mr.. Hawker
is lifelong teetotaler and non
smoker. He is an Australian Of
Cornish origin. He was taught to
fly at Brooklands on a Burgess
Wright biplane by T. o. NJ. Sopwith.
himself one Of the earliest british
pilots.
Hawker like Glenn H. Curtiss and
other airplane manufacturers in
this country. entered the flying game
by way of the motor trade. He was
IN business in Australia when re-
ports Of the development Of aviation
! lured him with half dozen other
young men Of the country to the
motherland. There Hawker found
employment with the Soowiths and
has been with them ever since.

! Pilot and navigator wear patent
suits. which are unsuitable in water
and are extraordinarily warm.
Should Atlantic be forced to des-
cend on the water. the airmen will
use wood and canvas collapsible
boat forming the upper side Of the

will remain afioat long enough for
| the boat to be launched.
If the engine fails or should anv
mishap occur making it impossible
to continue tie fight. the airplane
will remain in the air twelve minutes
gliding down at an angle OF one in
six from the height Of 10000 feet at
which the fight will be made.
Hawker's wireless set will allow
him to receive messages from ships
long distance off and the radio
calls he will be able to intercept
will aid his navigation greatly in
keeping on his course
But the sending apparatus cannot
transmit more than $50 miles. it is
said and once beyond the transat-
lantic shipping lanes it is doubtful,
whether an S O S would be picked
up by steamship. This is one of the
few drawbacks in the supposition
that Hawker is still safe.

to the Americans. Once more we
quote from his story:
They (the Americans) are rather in
c!ined to shield the Germans from the
exaggerated demands of the French.
Most of the American soldiers naturally
regard German soldiers With slight
sentiment of contempt. But they are
frank and open with the German people.
The situation is somewhat more COM
pick in the officer corps. which is sharp
ly separate from the common soldiers,
as understandable caste. The
Germans soon became conscious that
any of the officers had entertained a
degree of sympathy for Germany. 1t is
significant that these officers were care
full to avoid any indication OF their
friendly attitude.
You often see pious American soldiers
salute Catholic priest upon the streets.
but you never see any Of them pay anv
attention to French officer. The
youngest American lieutenant will pass
a French general upon the street with,
French obviously have an instructive
dislike for each other. Many of the
express their opinion Of the
French standard OF civilization which
front. and complain of the bad condi-
ton Of their quarters in France. They
are fully convinced that America de-
cideA~ the war and resent having the
French parade it as their victory.
For almost any American the mere
reading Of such vaporizing is enough.
True to form this Hun has made the
mistake Of thinking that everybody
else is IS stupid as he. and he tries to
put the same old stuff over on the
public. The Huns know they are
licked, but they don't want anybody
else to know it, and they still suppose
the trick can be done.
