WORKMAN IGNORED FOR CONTRIBUTION
 TO ALLIED VICTORY

The most important contribution to the winning of the late war was made by a-workman.
 That is the judgment of the Amer ican Society of Mechanical Engineers, which has been to considerable trou- ble to get the information. It has bestowed its gold medal of honor up on Hjalmar c. Carlson "a mechanic of Worcester, Mass, and has ac- claimed his contribution the out standing factor in bringing victory to allied arms.
 Carlson, according to the American Society, saved the War Department from a possible scandal in the manu- facture of munitions for use by the American Expeditionary Forces. The official announcement of honors be- slowed upon him states that 'his in vention making possible the produc- ton of 3o,ooo, ,ooo drawn steel booster castings, used principally as a com ponent of 75 nm. high explosive shells, and also extensively in gas shells and bombs," was the most note worthy aid to victory.
 The War Department was at its wits end, said Dr. Ira N. Hollis, president of the Worcester Poly technic Institute, when Carlson solved the problem that had bafled "the greatest engineering minds of the country"
 Carlson, son of Swedish peasants who came to this country at the age of B, thus takes his place on the hon. or roll of the society with Edison Westinghouse, Lord Kelvin and oth- CT scientists and engineers.
 No honor ever conferred by an American engineering society was more richly deserved than this," de clared Dr. Hollis, in announcing the Carlson award:

Cobbler Finds $5,0O0
 in Toe of Old Shoe
for Repairs Discovers Loss and Recovers Money

Frank Seville, a cobbler of Bayonne, N. J., early this month found $5 OOO in large notes tucked away i'll the toe of a shoe, according to dispatch to the New York Times. Just as the shoe maker and his wife were mentally pur- chasing the chicken farm they aspired to, Polish women dashed into the shop claimed the money and left a $20 bill as a reward
 The shoes had been left for repairs a few days before the cobb1er discovered the hoarded fortune. The shoemaker explained to the newspaper correspon- dent that he had picked up one of the boots-of the brogan type-but couldnt put it over the last until he had dug out what he thought was a roll of green paper Later he discovered that 1t con- sisted of one $1 ,OOO note and forty $1OO notes.
 Excitement, a poor memory, and worse English prevented Seville from supplying the name of the Polish financ1er-

THRIFT THOUGHTS

Man is SO constituted that he has a
 recurring series of wants. For in stance, however much food he may have on hand, he can not eat enough
 in one day to satisfy his hunger even
 for a week So with our income, 1t
 must be constant and continuous, and
 the individual or nation that consumes daily or yearly all 1t produces can
 never make progress; like the squirrel,
 we must lay something by. "Where
 there is no vision the people perish" !" Vision means Thrift.
 Money means the ability to meet
 our needs In this we have first, the pay envelope, i. e., the daily income; next, the wise use of the dollars thus received, having in mind future as we'll as present needs, saving some thing for the day of need instead of spending everything for today. The
 foolish person thinks only of the present and makes no provision for
 disaster or future needs; the wise
 man thinks of the morrow, when
 sickness, unemployment. the educa ton of children, old age or the like, will come upon him, and lays in a store for such needs. This is easy when the habit is formed.
 The thrifty man saves regularly
 some share of his income, invests these savings in something certain
 and secure, even though the interest rate is low. If he tries the hazard of
 high rate of interest or income, all may be lost. An honest business rare ly justiies high rates of interest; speculation and hazard always go with high rates of interest.
 Thrift soon becomes habit, and
 becomes real pleasure in itself The government can render the people no greater service than to lead them into habits of thrift by affording them op- portunity to invest small sums safely,
 with reasonable income

WOMEN UNDERPAID
 FOR DAILY LABORS
Official Survey Shows That in Many States Low Pay and High
 Hours Prevail.

Figures gathered by the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor show that less than living wage IS being paid to very large groups of women in industry. These figures have been gathered for more than 24,ooo women in three states and hours and working conditions for more than 10000 women in two other states.
 The state wage investigation show ed that in Kansas, with it's industrial court in force, 20 per cent of the women in industry were receiving less than $o week and 50 per cent. less than SIP a week.
 Tn Georgia half the white women were receiving less than $I2.5o per week, while the colored women re- ceived less than $6.2o week. Very long hours also prevailed in Georgia, where 73.o per cent. of the women worked 55 hours week or longer.
 In Iowa, which is one of five states that do not limit daily or weekly hours for women, it was found that some women were working as long as g hours week in candy indus try and 84 hours week in a food factory.

ECONOMIC CAUSES
 ARE BEHIND WARS

Cincinnati, Dec. 3o-Wars will not end until their economic causes are removed, says John P. Frey, editor International Holders Journal
 What the white race must do is to discover the means of preventing wars," says this labor editor. "This is the problem which our civilization must solve if it is to continue to de velop to the advantage of human race.
 Modern wars are not fought tc gratify the ambition of some indi- vidual; their causes are economic and commercial One nation, because it has the power, imposes its will and wish upon another so that a subject people can be exploited.
 "The international morality ha: been on a different basis than thai between individuals. Internationa justice has had a different meaning than national justice. The stronger have oppressed the weak and ere. ated bitterness and hatreds which rankle in mems breasts.
 "The international conference fo1 limitation of armament will have lifted crushing burden from the na. tions of the earth if armaments are materially reduced, but it will not have done anything to prevent flu. ture wars, unless the causes for these wars are removed. This is the great problem-the one which we, as trade unionists, are vitally interested in"

Refusal of Judge to Imprison Con
 spirators Rank1es Federal


 When Federal Judge Learned Hand refused to impose prison sentences upon members of the Terra Gotta trust who had pleaded guilty to violation of the Sherman law, United States District Attorney Haywood, in charge of the prosecution, walked out of a New York court room, plainly disgusted.
 Asked by Judge Hand if he had any objection to giving the guilty a few days in which to pay their $3,OOO fine, Colonel Haywood said:
 T don't care when they pay. 1 have not the slightest interest in the matter. "
 Later in a formal statement Colonel Haywood stated that the imposing of sentences is the sole responsibility of the judge. We can do no more than to urge, as we did for three days, that these se1f-confessed criminals mad vio1ators of the law, in high station i'll business, should be scent to jail. So far as this office IS concerned, we intend to push these pro- secutions vigorously and to continue right down the line in our efforts to clean out the criminal building ring"
 Samuel Untermeyer, volunteer chief council for the Lockwood committee. in vestigating the building trades, announces that h intends to ask the re-indictment of self-confessed law violators in the state courts and would also prosecute the mer- bers of the Tilt Trust who paid fines in the Federal court last month. These men MT. Untedmeyer charges, resumed their illegal operations immediately after pay ing their fines.
 The Lockwood committees public hearings have been temporarily sus- pended, because, in the opinion of Mr.. Untermyer, the fines imposed upon corn- pines have proved of no value as a means of stopping price fixing and other illegal acts.

 It was after that trip that Dicky had decided he would like to take such trips all the time when he grew up.
 Another time, later on, Dicky was invited to take a ride on a camel be- longing to the circus. That was the most thrilling of ak He rode right in the parade, right from the circus grounds, along the side streets, to the main street, and all the length of the main street he rode.
 Oh, how proud he wasl The camel wore a particularly handsome shawl and on top of the shawl was a mag nificent seat and upon that sat Dicky.
 A man walked along by the camel and led him in dignif1ed fashion, and the camel held his head straight down in front of him and looked neither to the right nor to to the left, but chewed constantly as though to show that parades meant nothing in his life.
 Oh, how proud Dicky wasl Re bowed to his friends down on the street. They sat along the curb and they sat in chairs and they stood, and they leaned out of windows. Dicky knew everyone In the town. They all knew him, too.
 No one missed seeing him on top of the camel.
 It was after that that Dicky decid- ed he would go in circus so he could ride in gorgeous parades with a band leading the way, and crowds along the street looking on in admiration.
 Another day Dicky went for a won- derful ride in an automobile. All over the neighboring country they went. They saw other little towns, and one quite big place, too.
 But all these different thoughts pug zled him.
 "I've decided on so many things" he said. And none of them are just what want to do when grow up."
 To be sure D1cky had quite a long time ahead of him in which to decide, but he seemed to feel he wanted to be sure long time ahead so he could think of his future work
 But the days went by and Dicky could not make up his mind. Some times he had a new thrilling adven- ture, and that would make him won der again whether he would ever be able to make up his mind for the future.
 Dicky was still puzzling and think ing about all the things he might do when, one day, a small stray dog came along. He was nmping and his eyes looked sad, very sad. He seemed to be suffering terribly.
 "Poor little dog" Dicky said. "Coms right here to me-
 And as Dicky said so the dog started to limp toward him. Dicky picked the dog up very gently.
 He saw that some other dog had evidently bitten his leg. It looked sore and as though 1t hurt so much. And the dog was trembling. for he was trying not to complain and whine though the pain was hard, very hard to bear.
 Dicky took the dog inside and bathed his wound. Then he put 8 little peroxide on 1t so as to prevent poisoning. And then he put soft, heal ing vaseline and bandaged the leg ever so tenderly and carefully.
 And then Dicky thought of food for the dog and he gave him some de- uciouS milk and later on a nice bone
 And oh, how grateful the dog was. He licked Dicky's hands and he

 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXIX.-IOWA
 ~ THE State
 MSSaMESM. 1of Iowa M%4ggssSS.ERSSSsM was originally NsS occupied by l(sE=sa Ell the Iowa h. NN % N dians. The ac- W@lxZW tual meaning
 ~ of the word has been interpreted in several ways. Some say 1t means beau tiful land," but the more likely derivation is the Algonquin word "ajawa" which means "across" or beyond" This was probably applied to this tribe of Indians by the Illinois tribes who were hostile to them, and resided on the eastern side of the Missis- sippi river. The early white wis itors to this region included Mar quette and Joliet, who landed here on their explorations of the Mississippi in 1873.
 The first settlement was made by a French Canadian named Julian Dubuque He obtained in 17S8 a large grant of land from the Indians, where the city which was named after him now stands. Here he fourished, mining lead and trading with the Indians, until his death in 1910, when this settlement was given up.
 With the acquisition of the Louisiana Purchase in 1903. Iowa, which was a part of this huge territory, came into the hands of the United States from France. At first Iowa was a part of the Louisiana territory, then of Missouri territory. Later H. AOAAcu a pO1I OA mlCAISdu territory and then of Wisconsin territory. In 1888, however, it attained a distinct Individuality when 1t was formed into the Iowa territory.
 Pioneers soon came in large numbers and about 1882 a sub stantial settlement was made near Burlington, and Dubuque was founded in 1883. The popu- lation grew so rapidly that in 1846 Iowa was admitted as the twenty-ninth state of the Union. Its area Is 56,147 square miles and 1t has thirteen presidential electoral votes.
