whatever service it suited her to

whatever service it suited her to
render.
In the face of all this generosity on
the part of the employer, she was
grumbling about the treatment ac-
corded to her, and the labor agitator
was talking about it in the state
labor convention and in the pulpit
When the employer learned of her
ingratitude in giving rise to these
damaging reports against their bust
ness, and stirring up the anger of the
public against the firm, it naturally
followed that they ceased to feel gen.
erous and loyal to her, and wished
themselves free from suclr encum-
brance. A delegation waited on the
Rev. Mr.. Hamilton to inform him
that he must have either spoken
without first learning the facts, or
having the facts, must have distorted
them. In either case they had little
use or respect for him and no longer
considered him safe adviser and
counselor
Hurts Every Working
Woman
The net result of it all is that
widow woman seeking employment
in Pocatello does not meet with the
consideration that she did before,
and all women seeking employment
are under more or less of a reproach
which this unfortunate incident has
brought about. Organized labor, so
far as 1t was stirring up this muss,
has discredited itself and is not re-
spected quite so much as before, and
men possessing the true spirit of
comradeship for their fellow men
land women) find that some of that
spirit has been dislodged or. de-
stroyed. Thus do the fool-friends of
labor overdo matters and block their
own progress.

BAKER SCORCHED By
AIR COMMITTEE

A house Subcommittee investigat-
ing aircraft production and expendi-
lures of the war department severely
blames Baker for ''woeful extrva-
gance, total incompetency, utter fail
ure and wild extravagenve." The
also rams" are Col Disque and Di-
rector Ryan.
The report recites that Col. Disque
an eX-penitentiary warden, in
charge of airplane lumber production
could not tell spruce from a fir
tree" 1t charges that with 10000
| soldiers including 1900 officers he
could not do as we'll as one lumber
| man in Canada, without soldiers or
government aid.
During a period of nineteen
| months 81 ,051, 100000 was used for
aircraft and only 213 DH-4 observa-
ton planes had reached the front
at the time of the armistice These,
the report declared, were utterly
dangerous, and were called "fam-
ing collins by flyers.
The committee found that no
fighting planes whatever had been
built. American air-men used good
many out-of-date machines that the
allies turned over to them, and
several hundreds of them were only
imitation planes, like wooden guns.
At the same time between 5000 and
1000 trained American aviators were
waiting in France for machines.
France had 1921 fighting planes
when the war was ended, England
had 1928 and Germany had 2750.
All the planes, good, bad and other
wise that America furnished her air
forces in Europe number 740. No
American bombing or pursuit plane
ever got across.
The report shows that 1000 of the
dangerous DH-4 observation planes
underwent $500 changes and cost
$5O,OOO,00O. With full knowledge
OF their defects they were neverthe-
ess shipped across the water The
sum of $6,0OO,000 was spent trying
to fit a Liberty motor into con-
verted Bristol machine, and then the
machine was thrown in the scrap
heap. About $17,0O0,O0O was spent
on standard training machines and
these also were scrapped.
All of which goes to bear out the
saying that where there's much
smoke there's some fire. The at
tacks on Baker for inability to handle
his job were not all contemplate
partisan politics.-F. c. K.

enough to live on was not worthy of
the patronage of the public and
ought to be listed as unfair, and be
avoided accordingly. He did not
profess to know whether the woman's
service was worth any more than
they were paying her, but merely put
it upon the firm that happened to
hire her, to see that she had all the

A Preachers :.
Mistake
Since that time another chapter
has been added to the case, related
by Theodore Turner, U. S. commits
sioner of Pocatello. He states that
a minister, Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, took
the matter up in his church, and de-
voted considerable energy to telling
the congregation how dastardly a
thing it was to employ a widow wo-
man with five children at her home,
and not pay her enough to live on.
They were giving her only $50
week, he said, and she needed twice
that much to keep her family Any

way was not entitled to the favor and
patronage of the public.
Now let's see what that philosophy
would lead to. Naturally she would
stop working for that candy COM
pany, and would seek other employ
ment. Or If she did not quit, the
public, by refusing to buy of them,
would destroy their business, and she
would lose her job, so in either case
she would soon be out of employment
by reason of the adoption of the new
code of ethics advocated by the min
lister, who sees the new light and the
new way of doing things on plans
savoring of righteousness plus, some
times called bolshevism.

ALCOHOL FOR FLU
AND PNEUMONIA

William Henry Porter, M. d. pro-
lessor emeritus in pathology and
general medicine, of the New York
postgraduate medical school, writ
ing in the New York Times, gives
it as his firm opinion that there is
nothing, so far as known, that can
take the place of alcohol in the
crisis where life hangs by the slend-
crest of frayed threads"
He declares that in his thirty years
Of active practice he has made it a
matter of routine to prescribe alcohol
early "in the pathological process"
to all patients in need of really
oxidizable stimulant. Whether this
method is better or one where
alcohol is denied he leaves to the
hospital mortality records.
The reason why alcohol can not be
replaced by any other therapeutic
agent with dependable results is, the
doctor says, that alcohol is the one
product that will yield heat and force
without the expense of any digestive
energy"
Alcohol is absorbed and immed-
lately oxodized, and each gram of it
thus consumed yields seven large
calories of heat, and without this
heat and energy production the pa
tient simply dies from nerve exhaus-
ton and non-eliminated toxins"
1t is reported from different parts
of the country that in the present
epidemic, in which patients are often
found in the lowest condition of
nerve and digestive vigor, prescrip-
lions calling for alcohol are not to be
filled for love or money, in spite of
the federal ruling which allows
alcohol on prescriptions by doctors.

place to work, and each employer
having work to do, knowing that 1t
will become his duty to furnish her
all the money she needs to support
her family, will hesitate about taking
on such a burden, and will be in
clined to employ widow who has
only one child, or to employ some
woman who has nobody depending on
her for support. Or he may adopt
the policy of not employing woman
at all, seeing that it imposes burdens
and risks upon his business, without
giving him any chance to make her
work commercially profitable. When
all employers reach such a stage in
their line of thought and their plans,
then the woman needing employment
has no chance at all, and the good,
loyal worker is placed on par with
the careless, INDECENT person who
does not give very good service.
Investigating the
Preacher
Now comes new phase of the
QucSJlOu. uC DuSlhCOo lACu IVA
tello investigated the case, and found
that the woman in question had COM
planned that she had to be at home
part of the time to take care of her
children, and had been allowed to
come and go about as she pleased,
working when it suited her and go
ing home when she got ready. This
lid not get the work done for the
candy makers, but out of biggness
of heart of the firm, they paid her
full time even when she was working
only about half time. Then when
she had some sickness in the family
and needed things which her wages
would not buy, the employer bought
and paid for them out of the till and
charged them to the expense of OPP
Grating the business. This some
times amounted to as much as her
wages, so they spent as high as $50
a week on her account and received

| Did you readers Of the PosT

ship averages of the pupils of the
Rockingham school, in last weeks
paper? 1t was a most remark
able compilation. To begin with
it showed a graduating class OF
16 and seven of the number
were boys. Next the school at.
tanned a record of SO pupils who
were neither absent nor tardy
during the entire school year.
Of this number one student
Carl Y. Coley-has the distinc-
ton of having been neither abb
sent nor tardy for EIGHT con-
secutive years! What a record
to be proud Of, and what a fine
business man this promising
student should make. Prompt
ness and punctuality are two
vital factors that tend towards
success, and it is a pleasure tor
the Post-Dispatch to chronicle
the record Of young Coley.
There are three pupils of the
school who have been neither
absent nor tardy for SIX consec-
utive years John William Gore,
John Alfred and Johnsie Henry;
and one, Mamie Mcdonald, who
has made this enviable record
for FIVE consecutive years.
Fine work, this.
