Undoubtedly there Is 1 great rela.
ton between the elements and certain
complaints In the same way that some
seasons Of the year render certain peo-
pie liable to Illness more than others.
The lower We investigate in the ami.
NAL world the more prone are its sub

cat for as much as three days before
hand feels coming storm; q horses
fine nostrils can sniff approaching rain
In an uncanny manner. The birds Of
the air have but to be watched to see
the way In which they seek their nests
at a hint OF danger in the air. The very
trees and plants tremble in a peculiar
manner before a severe storm. Many
human beings are Just as sensitive to
the march of the elements, but do not
always realize the Significance Of their
sensitiveness. People who suffer from
govt, rheumatism or neuralgia know at
once when bad weather is approach.

at certain times, and the stumps Of

pain. Medical men have never sat.
isfactorily explained these strange phe-
nomena, neither can they tell why
some people instinctively become rest
less and excited or moody, or sullen be-
fore thunderstorms.

JOBS FOR 1000 FIGHTERS |'||!| |:


k0fe than ten thousand former SOL
Aiers and sailors are new, working at
jobs 'obtaitied for them ~ the Knights
Of Columbus, cooperating with the
United, States Labor Department. Ten
times ten thousand soldiers and sailors
will probably find Jobs through the
knights within the next twelve
months, because this organization Is
conducting more than seventeen hun
dred employment bureaus especially
for this service.
The Government recently, went on
record commencing the Knights of
Columbus work Up this direction.
To inform employers regarding the
men returning from Europe who de-
sire and are eligible for jobs, the
Knights have Instituted q card sys-
tenn that covers every avenue Of In
formation.
These cards, issued by the X. Of
operating with the United States en-
ployment service, call for detailed in
formation regarding the soldier, his
qualifications, experience, etc. He is
asked to state where he worked be-
fore and where he now desires to
work. The cards are presented to re-
turning troops while at sea, giving
the men ample time to fill them out.
Before the soldiers debark on this
side the cards are collected by the
Knights of Columbus secretaries, who
forward them to headquarters at New
Haven, where they are sorted and
then sent to the X. of c. man in
charge of the job-finding service in
the locality where the soldier desires
employment.
In this way through Its LOO coun.
ellis, through its secretaries engaged in
transport work, and its secretaries at
naval stations and home camps, the
Knights will bring to the problem of
returned defenders well organized
and efficient machinery.
In home camps secretaries have
been cooperating with the Depart
ment Of Labor and with the Govern
ment's Employment Service, aiding in
the replacement in civilian occupation
Of many hundreds of soldiers. The
men returning from overseas have not
had the same opportunity to get in
touch with employers as the men sta
toned at home.
Through the Knights Of Columbus
about one-third of all applicants for
work are placed in positions within
one week after fling an application.

Are Building Costs
Less Than Estimates?

Bids just opened in the Bureau of
yards and Docks Of the Nevy De-
partment, for ne construction Of the
Seaman and Navigation B;lilt.1y in
Annapolis, Md, Indicate that b,:.ld-
ing estimates now current may be to
high The Departments estimate Cor
this granite building is S8cO0O
Eighteen Of the responsible general
contractors Of the country bid on the
Job and all but one submitted figures
below the Department estimate.
1t can not be stated at this time
who was the successful bidder for the
reason that alternates in the specifi-
cations may make enough changes in
the bids to justify the awarding Of
the contract to someone other than
the bidder whose lump sum figures
now are the lowest. The lump fig
ures, however, have challenged the
attention Of the Division Of Public
Works and Construction Develop
ment of the U. S. Department Of
Labor, because they appear to verify
the opinion that. prevalent estimates
on construction and building works
are too high, and. when contractors
have specifications and details Of
work before them, they can work out
construction costs much lower than
is popularity believed.
Where the Navy Departments es-
innate for this job was $4,000, bids
were had as low as S658927. Most
of the bids were $4,000 below the
Department estimate. Among the
low bidders were such firms as Lew
| ering & Canriques of New York:
George E. Wyne of Washington
Irwin & Leighton of Philadelphia
Crampt & Co. of Philadelphia and
Warren-Moore Company Of Phila-
delphia; and the John P Brady Com
pany of New York.
| For some time, it has been observ-
ed by the Division of Public Works
and construction Development that
architects and prospective builders
asking for general estimates on work
witho at reducing the project to spec
| ifications, have been getting estimat-
ed costs which appeared to be out
of proportion to actual market con-
ditioons. In the Navy Department
project bids there is about II per cent
difference between the estimate Of
the Department and the lowest bid
as the figures now stand and without
considering the alternate features.
This tends to confirm the Division in
the helief that where prospective
builders call for actual bids on de-
tailef specifications, SO contractors
may figure with certainty on the pro-
posed projects. the actual bid may be
fromS ten to fifteen per cent lower
than 'the general estimates. 1t is
certain that so many successful con.
tractors, on Government job where
there is rigid inspection, would put
in bids lower than a sum necessary
to do the work and provide reason
able profit.

DELAWARE MEN IN WAR.
Delaware College Authorities COmpil-
ing a Record for Preservation

Letters have recently been sent out
by Dean Edward Lawrence Smith of
Delaware College to 275 men who
were in either military or naval ser
vice during he World War. The list
is made up of graduates, undergrad
uates and former students of the in
stitution.
Dean Smith began the compilation
of information concerning Delaware
men in government service as soon as
war was declared. His sources of in
formation for the most part have been
from the columns of the local papers
and the city daiHes. He feels that
the information compiled is neither
complete nor absolutely accurate in all
cases. A letter has been sent to each
individual who was in government
service, requesting him to forward to
the Deans office at the College all
data concerning his period of service.
Each letter was accompanied by list
of the members of the class of which
the recipient of the letter is a mem
Der, with the request that if the name
of any member of his class whom he
knew to have been in the service was
not given in the list that he notify
Dean Smith of the omission immedi-
ately and give any information he
might have concerning the man whose
name was omitted.
At the request of the committee on
arrangements for the alumni banquet,
to be held at the college on February
%. Dean Smith will speak briefly of
the part Delaware College contributed
in the service of our country.At that
time the speaker will give come sta
tistics concerning the records of Del
aware College men and will have lists
of men who were in the service pre-
pared by classes, which he will distri-
butte to the members of the alumni
Association who attend the banquet
with the request that they help him
make his records and statistics ac-
curate and complete.
The authorities of the college fee
that it is important that accurate re
cords of Delaware men in the world
war should be obtained and properly
preserved at the college.

Our neighborhood has a real, hon
est-to-g goodness scandal: A two-year-
old girl baby lay down in front of
two four-year-old boys and kicked up
its heels. The old ladies talked about
it over the back fences-and blushed.
The old men shook their heads and
said that girls didn't do such things
when they were young. The young
matrons pass on the other side of
the street. There is some talk of
tar and feathers, but the more con-
sentative ones prevail with good
council and it is likely that nothing
ever will come of it. But the town
is disgraced forever-The Pink Rag.
