TRAINED WORKERS ARE BEST
Do Much More Efficient Work in Fac.
tories Than Those Without
Training.

ngtOn.-InfOrmation reaching
the training service, department of
labor, from establishments where fac.
tory training systems are in operation
indicates that fOremen, after brief
experience with the training system,
their departments, for the reason that
they do much more efficient work than
those who are put into the factory on
production work at the start. Many
wOrkmen also ask for training, in or.
der to increase their earning capac-
ity, and so valuable has training
proved for peace time that last week
II factories adopted training systems,
a number almost equal to the average
installation of training departments
during the war.
In one large plant there was a feel.
ing Of hostility to training at the
start on the part of a number Of fore
men. When the first graduate Of a
training department was put on pro.
ductiOn work within week and was
found fully qualified for production
work, the foreman insisted that the
worker was exceptional. Under the
old system from three to six months
were required before workers were
able to produce the quantity and quail.
ity of work required for fair days
output.
When a considerable number of per
sons had been promoted to production
work after week or ten days in train.
ing, however, the foremen's views
changed very radically, and they re-
fused to take any applicants for work
who had not had the advantages of
the training system. At one time
when the training department was
full, new hand was sent at once to
the factory for production work, and
the foreman protested vigorously.

SAVED BY U. S. FOOD
Destitute People Of Roumania Are
Grateful to America.
Timely Arrival Of Supplies Prevents
Growth of 6oIshevisrn and
Revolution.

Bucharest.-American -four and
clothing are saving the lives Of thou.
sands of destitute people throughout
ROumania. The United States food
administration has already brought in.
to the country nearly 10000 tons of
-four, while the American Red Cross,
which has large mission established
here, is distributing clothing and gen.
eral relief supplies of all kinds among
the needy population.
The -four from America arrived at a
time when conditions were at their
worst and when local supplies for the
ROumanian people were almost ex.
hausted. 1t was feared that the want
Of food would result in a state of Dol.
shevism and revolution.
This American flour has been a ire
mendous factor in preventing the I'M
rest. From it's relief stations estab-
lished at Bucharest, Jassy Constanza,
Galatz, Focsani and Pitesti, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is distributing its sup
plies, and in every important village
an American Red Cross soup kitchen
is helping to feed the population.
Queen Marie, who has taken the
greatest interest in this relief work,
has assigned Prince Carol to cooper
ate with the American Red Cross. Col.
Henry w. Anderson, Red Cross COM
missioner to the Balkans, said that
three large cOnsignments of relief sup
plies had already arrived in Rouma-
mia, and that the fourth was already
on its way from Toulon, so that the
American Red Cross would soon be
able to care for every destitute person
in Roumania.

1917MEATOUTPUT
SETS new RECORD
Production, Stimulated by War, 3d.
1856, 100000 Pounds Last Year
NATIONAL SURPLUS
is VERY HUGE
Agricultural Department Report
Shows Producers Did Great
Work

Washington, D. C.-Under the
stimulus of wartime demands, meat
production reached the enormouse
total of 1886, 100000 pounds last
year, which, the department of agri-
culture announced, undoubtedly
never before had attained in this
country. and certainly not in any
other country by long odds.
Meat producers met the war sit
uation magnifciently in 1918" the
department said. "They increased
meat production in one year by "a
per cent, and thus made possible an
increase of national meat surplus in
one year by 70 per cent and an in
crease in per capita consumption by
IL per cent. Notwithstanding the
very high prices of meat in this
country in 1918, AMI with prices
rising above 1917, a large fraction
OF the population must have greatly
increased its meat conservation in
that year.
The national surplus Of all kinds
OF meat was 2,458,OCO, 900 pounds
in 1900, while last year it was a.027,
100000 pounds, or nearly double the
surplus of 1917.

ALIENS QUIT COUNTRY
Are Leaving for Europe at Rate
of 1000 a Day.
Custom Officials Fear Exodus Will Re-
suit in Great Labor
Shortage.

New York.-Enriched by war work,
aliens are leaving this country at the
rate Of more than 1000 a day, it was
learned here from custom officials, who
expressed fear that, with the possibil-
ity that congress may limit immigra-
ton for the next four years, the United
States will face serious labor short
age, instead of condition of unem-
plOyment.
Since the signing of the armistice,
it was said, Italians, Greeks, Span
iards and Portuguese have been pour
ing out of the United Staes through
this port. Since November 1921 pass
ports have been vised at the custom
house, and since December, $4,000
aliens have sailed. Every ship clear
ing for Mediterranean ports has sailed
with full steerage, so that rates have
jumped from $40 to $50.
Custom officials estimate that an
enormous sum has been taken out of
the country since the exodus began.
Each alien, it is said, carries with him
from $1,000 to $1,000 to enable him to
live in his native land in greater ease
than he ever enjoyed before. Since
April 2, when all outgoing passengers
were forced to pay their income taxes
before leaving, more than $6S,00O has
been collected.
Byron r. Newton, collector Of the
port, who has been asked by members
of the United States senate and house
immigration committee to reduce the
exodus to statistics, said today more
than 90 per cent of the aliens are
Italians, and that something ought to
be done to check the outflow"

MARRYING SOLDIERS.
Many Women are Trying to Entran
returning Soldiers Into Hasty
Marriages.

me government is taking notice
OF the fact that many women are
trying to entrap the returning SOL
diers into hasty and i'll considered
marriages. The motive in MANY cas-
es Is declared to be merely a desire
TO profit by the soldiers insurance
money. In others it is mere infatua-
ton with anything in uniform. That
may not be blameworthy but it in
dicates a silly and ill trained girl.
She should have some one looking
after her. Licensing authorities in
many centers where soldiers gather
nave been given questionnaires cover
ing these points. They will endeavor
to dissuade soldiers from too great
matrimonial haste.
The soldiers will find themselves
the center of unlimited admiration
when they get home. The fellow who
didn't go will be dead one in So
ciety. 1t will be sight to see the
girls cluster around the khaki. These
boys will come pretty near having
their pick IL they wish to marry. It
will be hard for some of Their, TO
Keep their heads from being turn.1.
1t will be such relief for the
boys to get back and resume ordinary
social life. that any wholesome Am
erlcan girl will look awfully good to
them. But they have seen more Of
life than when they left the good old
town OF bonneville. Not many will
care to hitch up with vampires and
insurance seekers. They realize also
that they have their way to make in
the world. They have probably ac-
CURED some worldly prudence.
They will find right in old Home
vile just the right kind of home
making girls that they ought to
have. Chance acquaintance they may
make on the way may be very charm
ing, but not so likely to be a sure de-
pendence. Some from the old home
town, from the setting and environ
ment they were always used to, will
usually be more dependable.

TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS
Canteen Workers Don't Know What to
Do When Officers Slip Them
Quarters.

New York.-Young women of rich
families who serve the officers canteen
at the Pershing club of the war camp
community service, Forty-fourth street
and Madison avenue, are perpleXed as
to what TO do with the tips sometimes
left by officers.
How to act when an ensign or lieu
tenant hands one quarter is a puzzle
that has put wrinkles on the brOws of
several of the junior league members
who wait on the tables. They do not
wish to humiliate an officer by refus-
ing his we'll meant gift, but of course
1t is impossible to accept it. Many of
the young women have fathers who
could buy at least one battleship
apiece.
The trouble reached its climax re-
Gently An embarrassed ensign left the
canteen after presenting two thin
dimes to the daughter of steel king.
Puzzled at her manner, he sought in.
formation from the woman in charge.
II tipped that swell looking waitress
20 cents and she seemed put out" said
he. "She got all flushed. Wasn't 1t
enough?"
'Not enough to buy her poor dog a
BONE" was the answer. "She drives
her own car and has an income about
equal to the presidents pay. She's a
volunteer worker"
Light dawned on the bOyish naval
man and he streaked for the door,
muttering something about never tip
ping another waitress.

THE RURAL CHURCH.

The lonely country church is to
pass out of existence.
In its place will come the seven
day church, with rooms for reading,
recreation and choral societies. This
is the prediction of DR.. C. H. Taylor,
recently executive secretary for the
Y. NJ C. A. with the 9TH Army
Corps in Germany.
DR.. Taylor is pastor of a Bloom
ington, Ind, church, now on temper
AIRY service in Kansas.
Eleven million dollars is to be
spent in the development of the
rural Methodist church. 1t is antici-
pated that the improved church will
improve living conditions and cause
the young folks to stay on the farm.
The new plan is not magma
tive asserts DR.. Taylor. "On the
battlefield, in the camp and with the
army Of occupation we have proved
that the church can serve all the
time. 1t costs money, but people are
willing to pay the money when it is
shown they will get full value for it,
We believe that by the new plan
spiritual leadership will be recog-
nized to a greater extent than it now
is"
Under the proposed plan there will
be fewer churches, and they will be
farther apart, but they will pay
preachers living wages, and will at
tract larger congregations.
