~ ETTING the dollar to do

- enough to persuade II to give
one hundred cents worth of work
may sound like frenzied finance.
But it Is the actual accomplishment
of American workers of the Near
East Relief in the Levant where
living costs are constantly striving
for new altitude records.
Due to high prices Of native pro-
ducts and the difficulties of import
ing goods into interior stations,
these workers have found it cheap
er and an effective aid to child
training to manufacture their own
supplies in the orphanages scattered
throughout the entire region from
Syria to the Caucasus, in which the
Americans are caring for approxi-
rnately one hundred and ten thous-
and children.
Mot onk has this method been
found to furnish superior products,
according to workers who have
been responsible for these activities,
but il prepares the children for oc-
equations that will eventually make
them self-supporting, such as print

straw or excelsior that has been slight

It's funny thing, but people never
give their eyes thought unless they
have trouble with them. A person
5uldn't run or walk all day long with
S4t giving his legs rest. A woman

Clothes. e
Ing, carpentering, tailoring, dress
making and dozen other trades.
The same plan is said by these
workers to have been followed with
considerable success in the admin
istering of general relief. Because
1t was found that the indiscrimin-
ate distributions of money and food
tended to make permanent beggars
of those that received this form Of
relief, industrial shops have opened
where employment is given to those
in need. The products Of these
shops are either sold or used In
caring for the orphans and adult
refugees.
Though such methods cannot be
adopted In relieving such wide
spread suffering as now exists in
Armenia and elsewhere in the Cau-
casus, where famine conditions and
accompanying disease are reported
to be causing the death of thous-
ends, they have been found to be
practicable in regions where tho
suffering is not so acute or wide
spread and have resulted in the
saving of large amount Of money,
which it has been possible to apply
to an extension of necessary relief
activities.

Life insurance is an outgrOwth Of

SAY MOST ROADS WILL
ADOPT PIECE WORK PLAN
Officials Declare Company
Unions VIII Grou.

Railroad operating officials estimates
that 70 per cent of the countrys mile-
age is not represented in settlements
with the striking shopmen and that con-
sequenuy the company union" will have
an important growth when conditions
approach normal. The roads which .
already have formed company unions's
are confident that the plan will prove .
permanent institution and that the policy
will be adopted by practically all ysys-
TENS which have not yet made agree
ments with the national union.
Figures available here indicate that
the earning power OF the men in the
Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has increased under the piece work
system, which is expected to be one or
the chief items in company union agree
ments. That the organization OF the
company union" has the hearty support
of loyal shop workers is the claim Of
every line on which such action has been
taken. Satisfaction Is evident on the
part of executives who have formed the
company union on their roads, the chief
cause for rejoicing lying in the fact thar

stitute a days work" has been changed

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Bituminous Coal Roads.

Railroad experts are awaiting with
keen interest the August statements OF
Glass l roads to get some idea OF the
position OF the carriers hauling btu
minous coal as a result Of the resumption
last month of soft coal mining. II is
generally admitted that the expenses Of
the roads throughout the country were
very heavy in August, due TO the fight
against the shopmen who went out on
strike Resumption of the mining OF
soft coal started about the middle of the
month and the f1ct that the movement
OF the coal mined brcught added rev.
enue to a number OF lines brings up the
interesting question as to whether this
increase in earnings was sufficient TO
offset the fnroads made by the strike.
No benefit from coal traffic was derived
from the roads handling anthracite be
cause resumption Of operations in this
field did not come until September.

Of last Saturday. September 16," said
Mr.. Clarke's statement. while pre-

The member companies are now
quoting directly for their own account

wolves drastic reduction of personnel,

Webb law, wnich permits competing con-
Germs to combine for the purposes OF

The decision to liquidate the present

to the merger OF the Bethlehem Steel

Company and the impending consoliga-
tion OF the Republic-MIdvale-In Inland CONF

Recent developments have supported
the belief that an extension OF the busi-

where operations have been appreciably
oartailed and the advancing season

Local railroad officials enthusiastically
supported the optimistic predictions for
next year made by II. Il. Byram, presi-

yesterday. Mr.. Byram was quoted as
having found conditions in the West
very favorable for active business. He
further announced the Termination OF
the shop strike on the company's line.
The chief factor which works for OPP

Warlike African Tribe.

The Nasal are the most arrogant
and warlike tribe Of all the native
tribes of Africa and, man for man,
they are possibly the weulthiest peo-
pie in the world. Their wealth has
been acquired by waging ruthless war
on all the other tribes in the vicinity
and appropriating their worldly goods,
which are chiefly in the form of huge
herds. But, with all their wurlike
tendencies, they have never risen
against the white man. Scarcely $4,000
in number. they held sway for genera
lions over millions Of their more
peaceful neighb0rS.
The Nasal are the exact reverse Of
vegetariuns, for they live ON nothing
but meat, considering everything
grown in the earth as despicuble food,
tit for monkeys, but not for men. Their
favorite drink Is secured by tapping
the large vein in the neck of an OK
and drawing Off Il quantity Of his
blood, which Is sometimes drunk
mixed with milk and sometimes
"struight." The OK is also their chief
food.
