FOUR WAGE COMPARISONS

There are two outstanding argu-
ments in favor of a protective tariff.
One is to furnish protection to a suf-
ficiently varied number of industries
that the country may be self-support-
ing and Independent of supplies fur
nished from abroad. The other and
more important reason for protection
is to preserve for the American work.
ingman wage that will enable him to
live according to the American stand
ard. That standard is the highest in
the world. When it is lowered by
reason 0f an unrestricted competition
from cheap foreign labor, not only
the Workingman himself suffers, but
the whole social structure OF the ma
ton is brought down.
1T is not open to dispute that if
goods made in foreign factories By
workers receiving $1.50 a day are Of
fered in the American market along
side of similar goods manufactured
by american workers receiving SIS a
day price is made possible that abb
solut9ly shuts out the home product
The result is either the shutdown Of
the American factory or the reduction
Of wages to the point where the cost
of the product equals that of the for
eign article. 1t is the object of the
protective tariff to avoid either of
those disasters by assessing sufficient
duty against goods as they enter our
ports to offset the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad, and put the foreign product
before the American consumer on the
same basis as the domestic article.

THE NEW PLATTSBURG
From New York Times


Our apostles of Americanization
have been somewhat too prone to
think of it as consisting in a knowl-
edge of our language and the Declara-
ton of Independence, in respect for
the Constitution and the flag. True
Americanism is in ourselves or it does
not exist for us, and it may be lack
ing in those of the oldest line as IA
tally as in the raw immigrant. This,
we take it, is the idea that inspires
the new Plattsburg movement, which
is to begin it's first Red" or elemen-
tary camp on August z. AS stated in
the folder issued by the War Depart
ment, its object is "to bring together
young ''men of high type from all sec
tions of the country under the most
favorable conditions of outdoor life"
Many who once oYervalued them
selves as Americans find potent
magic in that phrase about outdoor
life. Without actual experience, they
could never have known that the
sweetest sleep of all is to be found in
a raw-boned army cot; that the fair
est comradeship is that of elk ut men
from eight widely differenL walks of
life who are packed into leaky squad
tent like sardines. They never could
have known that to bathe and shave
in chill northern water, to eat the
simplest food, to be eternally subject
to the command of corporal and SER
geant and to be always saluting COM
officers is the condition pre-
cedent to the best of physical we'll
being and to all that is most stimulat-
ing to the mind and inVigOrating to
the heart of citizen and patriot. With
in three days the most particular and
private individual finds brilliant wit
in the jests of the mess table, inspira-
ton in the songs of the march. Out
on the rifle range the shot that makes
the difference between craftsmanship
or the lack of it figures for the mo-
mentor days and weeks, perhaps
as the triumph of a lifetime, or the
despair. Under favorable conditions
Of outdoor life" men have the grace
to be men.
All this was known, of course, to
The chiefs of the old Plattsburg be-
fore the war. They saw in universal
the greatest opportunity for
our youth, the surest means of an
worthy of that high |
name. What we should have done |
without them for officers to lead our
lrmy in France is a question so ser
GUS that only the most resolute can |
ace the answer in terms of blunder-
ng in the field and the sacrifice of |
he lives of our best. For various rea-
ions, many of them quite valid, uni
-ersal service is for the present i'm
possible. Yet Congress has provided
literally for voluntary training. Be
ides that at Plattsburg, there are to
'e eight camps in the other Corps
areas of the country. Expenses, in
luding transportation, are to be pro-
-ided by the nation. The best of all
acatiOns is the cheapest.
If we can trust the old Plattsburg
ong, many who have taken the Red
,ourse will continue in subsequent
ears with the White Course for non
officers and the Blue
curse for a commission.

ONE DOLLAR SAVED REPRESENTS
TEN DOLLARS EARNED.

The average man does not save to ex-
ceed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living expen-
ses for every dollar saved. That being
the case he can not be too careful about
unnecessary expenses. Very often a
few cents properly invested, like buying
seeds for his garden, will save several
dollars outlay later later on. 1t is the
same in buying Chamberlain Collie and
Diarrhoea Remeky. 1t costs but a few
cents. and a bottle of it in the house Of

are not so satisfactory. although
there are some lovely faded blues
that are well worth using
And II is in the clever combining
of these different shades that the
woman with an eye for color has
such chance TO do interesting
work.
As sash ends you can work out
effective designs. These ends can
be made OF woven or braided rafia,
with an applied design of tho sash
material sewed on thems or they
may be of the sash material, en-
broidered and fripRed. IL you wish,
with raffia.
In France the making of rama
into different interesting knicknacks
has been taken up. and there raffia
table mats, in lovely Ncolors. are used
In the country. That idea would be
worth trying here. You could work
the raffia into a woven mat. like the
one in the sketch. or else you could
work a raffia border around a coarse
mat of crash or linen. Either way
would be effective. Remember again
that the chance for an interesting
mingling of colors is the thing that
makes the work especially interest
ing. You could work out a border
design for a set of ecru crash table
mats or runners. a border design
combining the colors in your cottage
china, with results that would be
really very interesting.

the thing that makes one proficient

all their petal edges with raffia.
Larger hats of silk or organdie

broider big designs in raffia on
them.
In the same way these clever ones
weave raffia slippers. OF course
one of the most attractive things
about raffia is that il comes in such
attractive colors. Lovely shades OF
