Jack Comes Saline Home

Frank Bear, who in company with
Elmer O'Leary left last July to en-
list in the U. S. N. for a cruise from
Portsmouth, N. H. to Mare Island. Cal.
returned to the city Monday. Elmer
was taken i'll with malaria fever while
in the Central American country and
is now in the Navy hospital in Mare
Island, where he will be for the next
month.
The sailors left Portsmouth on the
last day Of July aboard one of ten
Eagle boats which were to be taken
around the coast. So much trouble
was experienced with the boats that
four of them abandoned the trip and
only after considerable delay did the
other six arrive in Mare Island on
Thanksgiving afternoon. The cruise
was planned for two months but was
heightened to four because of the in
ability of the boats to make faster
time. The fleet was laid up in New
York for three weeks, in Cuba, in the
Panama Canal, and at various ports
along the lower western coast for re-
pairs, SO that the sailors aboard had
considerable liberty to go sightseeing
along the way. Frank reports that
all OF the ships are undermanned and
that some of the first lire battleships
of the Pacific fleet are now in the
yards in Mare Island with a crew
aboard. Very few of the old timers
who are being discharged at this time
are shipping over and the recruiting is
far below the number required to
keep the ships manned.
The Eagle boats are the boats which
the Ford plant constructed during the
war. 1t is now found that they are
not balanced. four of them keeling
over in the Maryland river just be-
fore the start of the cruise. They
were then loaded with ammunition and
pig iron which kept them righted.
The driving shafts are also found
to be unequal to the strain of high
speed and after short squirt at high
speed they would break.
Frank is very much pleased over
the trip. as he not only saw a great
deal of the country and cities along the
coast but confirmed his rating, so that
it is now permanent and he will draw
two months pay every year as men,
Der of the U. S. Naval Reserve Force.
He is liable for call at any time DUR.

Pitchins were about to disturb their
meditations.
TT looks as if you had found that
spot called heaven.' John startled the
girls into an upright position with his
greeting.
The rich crimson that flung across
MurieFs cheeks was not due to the
sunsets rays. Her meeting with John
was a very lovely moment, for she had
learned that giving freely and without
restraint was one of the routes to
heaven.
She slipped for a moment straight
into the arms that swung around her,
then laughed happily. So great love
as theirs was in no way averse to ex-
pressing itself.
And while Pitchins gathered drift
wood and rocks toward the prepara-
ton of dinner Enid and Muriel and
John drew together the cords OF the
summer.
I'VE have been traversing Long
Island looking for desolate farms and
isolated humanity" said Muriel. and
we have gone straight in and offered
our stock of cheer and hopefulness
Not only their minds and hearts have
we bucked, but Enid and / carry a
regular travelling store of chintZ and
cushions and cheerful accessories to
drab homes and we have just done
wonders-haven't we, Enid %
while IT, said John, have done
nothing but keep we'll within protect
ing distance of you just in case the
steering gear broke or the roads be-
came too E-uch for two wonderful
girls to travel alone" He laughed
at Muriefs utter amazement. "And
now, if steering is still good, think
we will blaze a trail tomorrow morn
ing for quaint wee church that is not
too far from this spot. What do you
say, dear?"
The urge in Ends eyes. and the ex-
pectant expression in the face of Pit
chins, who had lowered sufficiently
near to hear. prompted Muriel into
quick response.
II told you 1 was going to steer my
bark toward heaven she said with a
triumphant smile proclaiming the fact
that she had reached her destina ton.

ONE ROOM-INSTEAD OF AN
APARTMENT.
Chapter

CndpIer
Robert had given up his room in the
bachelor rooming house. and we had
taken the second floor front in the
house where 1 had lived for nearly a
year. 1 had only a small room on the
third floor. but as we were both work
/ ing we thought we might take the sec
ond floor room.
TT seems rathe, ridiculous to pay
as much for one room as flat would
COST Robert remarked rather visit
fully.
But we have no other expense
no house laundry. mo lights, ice, or any
extras. When we pay our board and
room rent. the rest is ours to do with
as we please. l have heard people
anything for themselves because there
is always something coming up to take
the money-sone household expense"
perhaps they get more comfort
and that means a lot to a great many
people" Robert returned. the wistful
note still in his voice, as his eyes royed
about the room.
1t was our first day at home We
had sent our trunks at the boarding
house. and each of us had gone to
business. So we were to spend the
evening unpacking, and getting ready
to live, as l expressed it.
But. Robert. we shall be quite COM
Portable here Really the room
seemed almost palatlal a1ter my small
quarters. THE bath is on this floor
too 1t was oRe of those old fash
Toned houses with only one bath room.
DO you know, Gerry, that to me is
one of the greatest comforts people
who live by acknowledgements like
us who haven't much money, I mean.
Nowadays all the apartments. no mat
ter how small. have bath room. 1t
would be a great luxury to have one
others didn't use" go
Some day when we get to be mill
lionaires we'll have two! One for you
and one for me-" L replied lightly.
Now get busy helping me unpack.
Wen have this place looking more
like living in little while" The room
was rather dingy. The draperies and
carpet were faded and old, and the
furniture had surely seen better days.

II offering what it terms a "politi-
cal tip" to its readers the Grand Rap

"The state of I1ansas-laboratory for
many a new thing-has a new kind of
governor; young in years. young in
vitality, young in purpose-yet mature
in Judgment, mature in capacities, ma
ture in Americanism, mature in cour-
age; the kind of a governor who. when
his commonwealth needs coal, pro-
ceeds to mine the coal; the kind of a
governor who, when his common
wealth needs Industrial peace, assem-
bles a special session of his legisla-
ture to attempt the organization of
industrial courts; the kind of a gov
ernor who isn't afraid of experiments,
who isn't a slave to precedents. and

BoRING FRoM WIrHIN.

| There appears to be in progress in
the legislative halls of Kansas an eff
fort on the part of opponents of the
industrial court bill, or their friends.
to bore from within" and so change
the measure that it will not do what
its trainers intended or will fail to
stand the test of the courts. There is
TO apparent reason, for~instance, why
the Simpson amendment regarding
profiteering should be engrafted on
the bill, unless it be to endanger it's
final passage or hamper the laws en-
| forcement. 1t will be to the ultimate
| advantage of the workers to aid in
passing a law fair and just to every
body.
Samuel Gompers has made it clear
| that organized labor will have nothing
to do with any plan for the adjust
ment of labor disputes which does not
recognize trade unions as the sole or
CARNATIONS thru which arbitration
may be undertaken. or in other
words, which does not give them die
tatorial authority over workers who
may not be affiliated at present with
trade unions.
1t is unfortunate for organized labor
to have at its head at this time men
who will not stop within the bounds
of reason, for the chief sufferers in
the end will be the members of trade
unions. They have had privileges
which have placed them in a position
many times to enforce unfair and ar
bitrary demands. They have used the
strike frequently when it was unjus-
titled, and now they are in danger of
losing certain rights which they
have had. but which according to all
standards of justice they were not en-
titled to have. The pressure for laws
to govern trade unions is growing
stronger every day.
Trade unions either must accept re-
sponsibility. recognize the rights of
others as well as their own and agree
to settlement of disputes by means
fair to both sides, says the Iron Trade
Review, or laws must be passed to
define clearly the rights and respon-
sibilities of both capital and labor.
And it is more than probable that if
such a definition be made trade unions
will lose many of the prerogatives
which they felt were theirs by divine
right.
