FACING STRIKE OF PRINTERS

Raleigh. - Employing printers in
RaleigE are facing now the most seri-
Gus strike Of workers in 10 years and
both sides declare they will fight to
the bitter end.
The demands of the printers upon
the employers is for a 44-hour week.
Several hundred men in Raleigh are
involved in the threatened walkout
and reports to state labor leaders
here indicate that a similar situation,
although on a minor scale, exists in
other cities of the state.
This city would feel the effects OF
q strike In many ways. Local print.
ing firms have the bulk of the con-
tracted state printing and this, for the
season of the year, is unusually heavy
due to highway and tax activity il4

OF printing in other departments is ON
an increase.

ers, who lead sedentary lives and get
almost no adequate recreation, is one
big factor in the low average Of
health. Doctor Raycroft also seems
to believe that many of the workers In
our great industries are doomed by
their occupations to i'll health. He
further believes that we are admitting
great numbers of weak immigrants
who are lowering the national, aver.
age Of physical fitness.
The fact is only limited at In the
hearings, but it is well to know that
malnutritiOn was a great factor in the
low average of health among the
drafted men, Many recruits gained
greatly in weight and strength as
soon as Uncle Sam began to feed
them. This is what gives it's great
value to the movement for feeding
schoolchildren. If the child gets plen-
ty to eat in his growing years, he
stands q better chance to make q good
living when he has grown up. Starve
him as a child, and you have little
chance of producing useful man.
Epidemic diseases, such as malaria,
hookworm and trachoma, which can
be eliminated or greatly reduced, are
another great factor, as was brought
out by Doctor Clark Of the public
health service.

Efforts Are to Be Made to Cor
rect Low Physical Standards
Revealed by War.
EXPERTS CONSIDER QUESTION
Work of Draft Boards Showed That
Nation of 100000, 900 People Could
Put Forward 100000 Men
Fit to Carry Gun.

Washington.-An annual survey OF
the young men of the nation to deter
mine their physical condition and
what can be done to improve it was
suggested the other day by General
Pershing in an address to high school
cadets here.
General Pershing was thinking of
his experience in the war. He remind
ed his hearers that 60 per cent Of the
men called for service were physically
unfit. and he pointed out the pressing
need for something to remedy this sit
uatiOn.
The state of the national health, as
revealed by the draft, seems to have
been really the most sensational fact
of the war, says Frederic J. Haskin
in the Chicago News. It has spurred
congress to project and hold hearings
upon comprehensive measures for
physical education. 1t seems to have
made a deep impression upon every
thoughtful person in the country. II
about half of the young men which
the United States produces are weak,
sick, understood, crippled or other
wise inefficient, what is going to be-
come Of us as a natiOn2
These seem to be the questions that
thoughtful Americans are asking
themselves. They stand out all over
the voluminous hearings upon the
Tess bill for physical education.
Bill Provides Fund.
This measure provides for a large
appropriation to be divided among the
states for use in promoting physical
education, on the condition that each
state must itself appropriate as much
as it receives from the federal gov
eminent.
Many Of the leading educators and
physicians Of the country appeared
before the committee ON education in
connection with the bill. They agreed
unanimously that the draft had re-
vealed an alarming condition Of the
public health and that nothing could
be more important than to. do what
ever can be done to remedy this con-
dition.
1T does not make any difference
how much water power we have, or
how many great projects there may
De at any time," says DR.. Joseph e.
Raycroft of Princeton university.
The real wealth of the nation is the
health and efficiency Of its people.
Nothing else matters to the same ex-

adopted as whole, for such penalties
would have resulted in every offense
paving the way for a feast in the viii
lage. This, officials decided, would
prove too much Of a temptation for
the natives.
It is the custom of the Samoans, and
was then, that when any offense is
complained of and the offender not
known, for the native pastor, or native
magistrate, to compel each person in
the village to declare his or her In
nocence by oath on the Bible.
On one occasion some church money
was stolen from the box of a Samoan
pastor, where it had been placed for
safe-keeping. The native pastor ina
mediately went from house to house
with a Bible, swearing in every in
mate, but everyone declared innocence.
He, however, forgot to take the oath
himself, and the thief remained a mys-
terry.
Some years afterward the pastor be-
came seriously ill and his relatives
were called together. Having made
certain that they were all in forgiv-
ing mood, he then confessed that he
was the culprit. Under the circum-
stances his people felt they could not
but forgive him. Thereupon it was
astonishing how rapid was his recOv-
cry.

Samoan Statutes Revised Along
American Lines.
Bio Contrast to Old System OF the Ma
tIves, Which Has Been In Force
for Many Years.

Page Page, American Samoa
new code Of laws based on American
statutes has developed in American
Samoa from the disturbance of last
wear which eliminated in the suicide
of the governor, Commander Warren
J. Terhune.
The revised laws, drawn by Capt
Waldo Evans, the new governor, and
Judge A. NJ. Noble, and submitted to
the native chiefs, mark an interesting
change from the early laws provided
for the Samoans.
When in 1900 the first secretary OF
native affairs, Judge Gurr, asked the
native rulers of the Samoan villages
tn submit laws to him for recon-
mendation to the first governor, he
received from various villages copy
of the ten commandments Of the Bible.
This was accompanied with the sug-
gestion that penalties for their VIOLA

shape of hog and a barrel of beef.

Poor Health of
i. S. Is Problem

nlttee that not only did the draft
Ooarus md 1t necessary to reject
ABOUT 80 per cent of. the men as ply
sically unfit, but that from 40 to 80
per cent Of those accepted in the vari-
Gus drafts were found unfit after they
were IN the army and had to be sent
~ hospitals or to developmental bat
talons. He points out that the ply
slcal standard was lowered FIVE diff
Ierent times in the effort to get
enough men. In this way 100000
men were raised. Shortly before the
armistlce, when it looked as though a
n1th million would be needed, he said
1T was serious question whether an
other million men fit to fight could be
found in America. In other words, a
nation of more than 10O, 1000, 900 people
could not put forward 100000 men
fit to carry a gun.
Reasons Are Interesting.
Most interesting are the reasons
which various experts assigned for the
low physical standard of manhood
prevailing in this country.
Doctor Raycroft assigns two princi-
pal ones. He calls them urbanization
and industry. BY urbanizatiOn he
means the crowding of people into
cities. He declares that, in spite Of
allegations to the contrary, the re-
cruits from rural districts showed a
higher physical average than those
from the cities. Undoubtedly the
