EPITOME OF LATE DOINGS
WAsEINeTcIl NEWS.

The number of persons employed
in the United States continued to de-
crease during February, the depart
ment of labor's employment service
announced this week. The decrease
for last month, as compared with Jan.
uary, was estimated at l per cent.
President Harding has ascertained
that under provisions of the trading
with the enemy act, still in effect,
he has power to declare an embargo
against importations of wool, as was
strongly urged by members of con-
gress from the wool producing states
this week, but he is reluctant to en-
ploy the power, which savors Of a
war measure, if he can avoid it.

HEAVY TAX ON
ALL INDUSTRY
Loss Through industrial Fa-
tigue" Reaches Enormous
Amount Yearly.
FIGURES GIVEN BY EXPERT
DR.. Bernard Newman Shows How Hu-
name Working Conditions Will Be
of Benefit to Both Employer and
Employee-WouId Test Physical Ca
pacity.

Every civilized country pays a
heavy price for what is called indus
trial fatigue" This is defined as "the
sum of the results of activities which
show themselves in a diminished ca
pacity for doing work." and in case of
industrial fatigue responsibility for its
elimination necessarily rests upon in
dividual establishments. Fatigue
COSTS" it is said, "may be expressed in
terms of the effect upon health, lOngev-
ity, safety, labor supply, employment,
stability, industrial cOntentment, pro-
ductive etticiency-on aIertness, speed,
accurate work, minimum waste-aS
well as output and profits" 1t has
been estimated by a recent writer on
this subject that there is a loss be-
cause Of fatigue of 20 cents a, day each
year for each employee, which would
reach the staggering total loss to the
United States for the 100000 work
ers of about $2,5OO,OOO,OOO a year.
While these figures are estimates,
DIR. Bernard Newman, writing in Ma
tiOnal Safety News, considers that
they are logical and show that the
loss is national one and needs a ma
tionwide preventive program to com
bat the condition. He considers that
the following measures are essential
in program which will result in hu-
name working conditions and mutual
profit to employer and employee:
First, there should be a physical
examination of all applicants for en-
ployment, in order that their physical
capacity may be known by the employ
ment director, this examination to be
followed periodically by re-eXamina-
tiOn and requirements according to
the health of the worker This ply
sical examination is In addition to the
usual training and experience ex-
aminations Second, there should be
a physical examination Of the jobs, to
find just what mental and muscular
ability is required for maximum eff
fCiency in output. Third there should
be physical examination of the plant,
to discover the working conditions
which may injure the health of the
worker, cause unnecessary fatigue and
reduce output"

EXCELLENT AS FORAGE CROP
Cowpea Will Thrive, on All Types Of
Arabic Soil and Requires Very
Little Attention.

For feed the cowpea is especially
valuable. specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture say,
because it will grow on all types Of
arabic soil, requiring little attention
and producing most excellent forage.
In addition, it is of great value as a
green-manure crop to increase the
humus and the nitrogen content Of the
+0Ns upon which 1t is grown.

UNION COLLEGE NOTES

The students and faculty made a
free-will offering one morning last
week and the result will be a pre-
sent to the school in the form of the
bell which formerly rang from the
Southern Methodist Church. This
bell will he put in place as soon as
the tower can be strengthened by
some heavy timbers. We expect
the bell to ring in a New Year and
work for us all.
We had pleasant change in our
Chapel program Wednesday morn
ing. over half the members of last
years Academy class are back this
year as College Freshmen. They
laid aside their Freshman dignity
for this occasion and came in once
more as High School Glass of 81.
The occasion was the presentation
to the school by this class of a large
picture in sepia of st. Gauden's
statue of Lincoln in Lincoln Park.
Chicago. Kenneth Tuggle, who is
home from the State University,
made the presentation speech. It
was very naturally somewhat eulo-
CYSTIC of the Glass of '21 but it rang
with patriotism. The speaker touch
ed eloquently upon the play, Abra-
ham Lincoln, given last year by this
class, using it as a fitting transition
to the presentation of the picture
to the school. Pres. Franklin ac-
cepted the gift for the school in q
fitting and graceful way. The pic
ture will hang on the wall of the
landing of the north stairway. This
is the first gift of the kind to the
school.
School closes Friday noon. Glass
work will begin again Wednesday
morning at o'clock, January 4th,
1922. The Junior of the College
notes wishes all readers of the Ad-
vocate very Merry Christmas and
many Happy New Years.

WoNS4kSIA<yW 1t was the
Wt&s$sHsE/ search for
S9msr mythical
Fountain of Perpetual Youth
that led Ponce de Leon, the
Spanish explorer, to land near
the present site of st. Augustine.
His rediscovery of Florida In
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which is from
Pascua Florida or Flowery Pass
over, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French were the next set
tiers, founding a colony on the
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action to maintain her own
ership Of this region and sent
over an expedition which erected
a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at st. Augustine in
1865 and exterminated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine is the
oldest city in the United States.
There followed a period Of hos
tility between the English col
onists in the Carolinas and the
Spanish in Florida. BY the trea-
ty Of 176S Spain ceded Florida
to England in exchange for Ha-
vana, which England had cap
tured a few years previous. II
remained an English colony un-
til the last years Of the Revolu-
tion when Spain recaptured 1t.
There were two provinces,
East and West Florida. As the
Spanish ruled Florida with q
very loose form Of government,
this region became the refuge Of
pirates, smugglers and lawless
characters. Such an element to-
gether with the unruly Seminole
Indians naturally caused a great
deal Of trouble. To overcome
this, President Monroe pur-
chased Florida from Spain In
1919 for $5,O0OOO0 or about
eleven cents an acre. II was
organized into a territory and
In 1s45 was admitted to the Un.
ION.
Florida Is sometimes called
the Everglade State on account
or the vast swamp-land In its
southern part. II is also known
as the Peninsula State and Is the
southernmOst State OF the Union.
Its area Is $500 square miles.
