Cora V. Thompson, chairman

following report:
From the December drive we

way Of several to Baltimore, and
feeding and lodging several of the
others. It is hard to discriminate
IN many Of these cases but we feel.
too, it is our work to help these
boys get settled back to regular
civilian life again. While they
probably have spent their money
foolishly, the change in their lives
has been upsetting to them and we
cannot see them want. We feel that
this IS putting our money to its
intended use.

day marked the elimination of nat

audience.
A program of sports followed. The

Just as coal. when 1t burns, leaves

leaves in the alimentary canal indi

A dark bill climbs behind it. dark with pines
Where may know not If tbs day night;
But, all in front, the laughing river shines.
And, the river bank, there is a seat,
So old none knows the time 1t not there,
Where many rest them from the summer heat
And breathe the COOL down floating, pine sweet air.
Then they who still are young enough to play
Toss one another's name across the stream,
And laugh to hear hidden mocker gay
In accents clear the cadenced word redeem
And there others, in youths later bloom,
Who of the dwelling nymph require
What fortune shall be theirs. who loves whom
tSay did that hidden grant their desire?)
How many voice since then is lost, is STILL
OF those that called with fresh and usty cheer;
Or if they call, It's past some heavenly hill
The voice responds-not heard Of earthly ear.

Since the airy magic put to test,

A friend you have to buy will not be worth

WoRK-sLACKING IS INDEFENsIBLE.

A large reduction in the amount of transpor-
tation produced in proportion to the number OF
men employed has occurred on the railroads
under government operation, the Railway Age
points out in an editorial in its current issue.
During all the years when the question of an
eight-hour working day has been under discus
sion, = says the Railway Age, it has been con-
tended by some persons that reduction OF
hours would result in reduction of production
and by others that it would not result in reduc-
ton Of production because the average worker
would accomplish as much in a working day of
eight hours as in one of ten hours, for example.
The statistics Of the railroad administration
demonstrate that the effect of reducing the av-
erage hours worked per day per employe has
been to make it necessary to employ over eleven
per cent more men to do a smaller amount of
work
Ihse statistics show that in December 1917
the number OF employees of the railways now
under government control was 1,703,748 while
III July, 1919, it was S94, 2S7, an increase Of
l90,539 or 112 per cent. The average number
Of employees on class one railways throughout
the year 1917 was ,732, S76, and it may be safe
ly assumed that this was approximately the
number employed in July of that year The
amount of passenger business handled in July,
1919, was substantially larger than the amount
handled in July, 1917. On the other hand the
amount of freight business handled in July,
1919, was substantially less than in July, 1917.
The number of tons of freight moved one mile
per employe in July, 1917, was about q, 900
while in July 1919, it was only 1850. The
number Of passengers moved one mile per en-
ploye in July, 1917, was about 300 and in July,
1919, about 2,400.
.'Director General Hines points out that the
Increase in the number of employees has been
almost entirely due to reduction in the hours of
work per day. He shows that in July, 1919,
with over 10000 more on the payroll,
the number of hours worked by employees as a
whole was actually less than in December, 1917.
The effect of the increase in the number of en-
ployes and also the increase in the wages paid
has been to increase the annual compensation
oil the employees of the class one roads from
81, 740O00,OO0 in 1917 to about $2,800,0O0,000I
in 1872
For a more intimate Illustration of the con-
iition set forth by the editor of the Railway
Age, reference may be made to the recent report
of the vice president of the Pennsylvania rail
road which shows that two years of government
operation leaves that great system with four

NEW WORK FOR BANKERS.

The American Trust company, OF New York
City, sends out a pamphlet in which it is argued
that great good would come if banks would ex-
tend their activities to sale Of securities over
their counters. Note is taken of the fact that
in large cities the sale of securities is made q
separate business, but it is argued that in
smaller cities and in rural districts and indeed
in many industrial districts, banks are the best
and most available merchants Of securities. 1t
is not out of line with bank S functions to sell
securities since the business of bank is to sell
end buy credit. The American Trust company
believes that if banks were to generally sell Sc
curities a means would be found of creating
funds for commercial and housing develop
ments. Workers have money seeking invest
ment. Were there ample security and conf
dence in it, much capital from this source might
become available for improvements needed in
the communities which are homes of the sup
possible investors. This is worth thinking
about.

present life in this country as a riot of crime

Some of our scenario writer's left fancy free

In the war period prices and profits went
soaring. Wage demands were easily granted
since earnings were abnormally large. Now
comes the time when demand is lessening; when
the abnormal is giving way to normal trade con-
ditions. Under all the mechanical devices and
theoretic planning for new industrial scheme
lies the unacceptable law of earnings conditioned
on demand. The real struggle is to make way
safely back to an industrial program where the
division Of earnings is just to all parties and
one that squares with economic law. No plan
will be able to distribute earnings which are
not earned.

ports would often indicate. Holland, Norway
and Sweden are already giving evidence that
they can restore their industries to normal
without an intervening period of depression.
The economic position of Denmark is stronger
in some respects than it was before the war;
This cannot but have helpful bearing on the
