Glass Workers union, assembled in
Memorial hall, Toledo, were told an In
spring story Of patriotic devotion by q
member Of their union at the unfurling
of service flag, with 866 stars, repre-
senting union men in the army.
+ After an Introductory speech, In

agent Of the Toledo Central Labor
union, told of the determination of
the unions to back the government,
President William p. Clarke described
the heroic death of Charles III. Nc
Carthy, who sacrificed his own life in
France for the sake of friend.
Not only had Mccarthy, a former
member of the Glass Workers union,
died heroically, but.he had lived patri-
otically, Mr.. Clarke said, for In taking
out $4,000 insurance when he entered
the army, he asked that the sum be

SAVING Man-Power.

One Of the recent devices designed
to save man labor is the slab-handling
storage battery truck, which is en-
ployed at the plant Of steel company
in Cleveland to haul heavy pieces OF
steel from the storage yard to the heat
ing furnaces, says Popular Science
Monthly. The distance apprOximates
500 feet. Before electricity was SUBJ
stituted for man-p6wer the slabs were
loaded on hand trucks. ~
The new truck Is similar to the ele-
waiting platform truck, except that for
its elevating mechanism q fitting plat
form is provided. This platform is se-
cured to the, rear axle by a pivot, be-
ing operated by horizontal ram. By
manipulating the ram the platform is
moved toward vertical position and
its front edges are lowered.

STRONG FOR CIVILIZED GARB
SartoriaI Variety Seems to BE Chief
Aim Of Natives Of Villages
Of Rhodesia.

Although we have not thought the
people of Africa to be much concerned
about clothes and fashions, yet styles,
such as they are, have entered the VII
lagos Of the dark continent and are
beginning to cause the people much
anxiety. Miss Pearl Mulliken, Metho-
dist missionary to Rhodesia, writes Of
the African dress as seen in q day
school, according to the Centenary Bull
letin.
4 Many Of the pupils, who range from
the kindergarten age to grandparents,
are dressed in store clothes. Their
store clothes, however, have largely
lost their identity beneath covering
OF many colored patches. Weather
has nothing to do with clothes in this
part of Africa. It may be real sum-
nier day and you are wondering how
you can keep cool, but not so these
boys who have been to town to work
and have clothes to exhibit to their less
fortunate brothers. If these riches
consist of somebody's CASTOR overcoat
he is sure to have it on and perhaps
a bath towel around his neck, while
most Of the small boys are content
with yard of unbleached cotton for
their entire outfit. But sometimes the
big boys are quite generous with their
little brothers and divide with them;
such is the case of one little. fellow
who is the proud possessor Of vest
Which about covers him. Two or three
others wear their big brothers shirts,
Which is quite sufficient for all pur-
poses.
'Some of the girls are dressed prin-
cjpally in beads, brass bracelets and
anliets; while others have cloth
draped around them forming skirt
aid they are without waist. One
girl wears pink silk waist with
dirty calico skirt. They often appear
In evening dresses, the CASTOR finery
Of the town women, and they may be
seen digging in their gardens with
these on. One came to school draped
In white bedspread." ~.
Styles in names changing as well as
in clothing. The following are some
OF the names which the African moth
ers have given their children: Spoon,
Saucepan. Hotel, Pumpkin, Gingerbeer,
Cigarette, Shilling, Sixpence, Penny.
Coffee, Sweet Pudding, Very Nice,
Office, Tomato, Fifteen. Vinegar,
Sugar.

| CHIEF OF CUSTOMS

Halstead as Head of
Treasury Division.

Appointment of George w. Ash
worth. chief of the customs division
of the Treasury Department, to sue
coed F. NJ. Halstead, who rendered his
nounced by the Treasury Department
last night.
Mr. Ashworth has been in the serv-
ice of the federal government since
1888 and has been in the customs di-
vision since 1903. when he was ap-
pointed as a law clerk. He was made
senior assistant to Mr.. Halstead July
l, 1916, and the vacancy caused by his
promotion will be filled by Joseph D.
Nevius- The present position Of Mr..
Nevius as assistant chief will be
filled by Charles Stevenson, confiden-
tfal clerk to Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury Rowe. The promotions
become effective June 26, the date on
which Mr.. Halstead leaves the gov
eminent service.
Mr.: Halstead is resigning to take
up the practice of customs law in
New York city, and in the letter ac-
cepting his resignation Secretary
Glass said:
TT is a source Of very keen and sim
cere regret to me to receive your let
ter of resignation. During the long
period of faithful and devoted service
that you have given to the Treasury
Department you have performed a
most important service to your coun-
try. AS chief Of the division of GUS
toms you have during the last eight
years contributed in a large measure
toward bringing this branch Of the
Treasury to its present state of ef-
ficiency.
Your going again illustrates a fact
which is becoming more apparent
with each day. viz, that this great
nation In order to secure and retain
the trained expert service which is
necessary in the management of its
public business, must be prepared to
oner remuneration which will at
least enable a man to maintain his
family in relative comfort and permit
him to provide for the education of
his children"
