HOW MUCH DO STRIKES COST
THE NATION?
Curious Figures Based on Department
of labor Statistics


Washington, July 6.-Statistics 6. Is
sued by the Department of Labor show
that strikes in this country average
more than $500 per year. 1t is not
contended by the department that its
figures are accurate, since they de-
pend upon newspaper and trade paper
reports for the most part, but that
they are under, rather than overstate-
mentS.
1t is impossible truthfully to esti-
mate the average cost of a strike. since
they vary so in duration, number of
workmen affected and economic loss
through whatever industry is wholly
or partially shut down. But If the
most conservative possible estimate be
adopted, and it is considered that the
average strike affects 100 workmen,
and that the average strike lasts ten
days, the total arrived at is 100000
working days lost per year. If the
average cost to each workman is IS
per day and the average loss to each
industry does not exceed three times
the loss to the workmen, then strikes
cost this country some S66,OOOOO0 a
year.
1t is not believed that these figures
are anything but suggestive. The
average strike undoubtedly affects
thousands, rather than hundreds, and
for many more than ten days.

A middle-aged woman said the other

used to hear her mother and grand
mother talk about the good old days

"Well, anyway, I'll never have to do
that" But today she is doing Just
that same thing-talking about the
good old days before the war.
Perhaps that is the way Of the
world. Perhaps our Colonial ances
tors used to remember the pleasant
conditions before the Revolutionary

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"SABOT.iGE"

THE spread of strikes and the
4 resultant efforts Of certain
dissatisfied elements to cripple
industry n every way possible
brought into use the French
word sabotage" in such a way
that 1t may be said to have
been Anglicized. much as
valet" 'barrage," ballet" and
"camouflage" have been Angll-
cized.
By sabotage" as currently
used, is understood the act of
producing poor work or other
damage either TO machinery or
to the good will Of some COM
mercial organization. The work
man who is deliberately careless
in the manufacture of some ar
ticle, is as guilty of sabotage as
Is the workman who wrecks the
machine itself-for both of them
tend to injure the company for
which they are working, either
In Its reputation or in its opera
ton.
In its original French sense
the word was a harmless one,
entirely uncOnnected with crime
of any kind, and meaning the
cutting of shoes or sockets for
rails IN railroad Les, "sabot" be-
ing French for wooden shoes"
During the strikes which par.
alyzed internal commerce in
France toward the end of the
last century, many of the strik-
ers tore up the railroad tracks
or loosened the shoe so that the
rails spread, thus giving the
word its new application and
the significance under which 1t
has slipped into the language on
this side of the Atlantic.

 But I say, Miss Susanna May, you were going to dine with me" pro- tested Max Hoadley, some of his old gruffness and desire to be of prime importance coming into his manner.
 Miss May looked up and smiled. The only word that describes her ex- pression and the quality of her smire, is "exquisite.' She was as fragile and sweet as an anemone, and as firm and sturdy as a deeply-rooted oak as she settled matters with him in a phrase or two.

Fire: Master or Servant Which?

Fre Fire! The wild cry and the warning revolver shots they ring the still night air sounds which bring tremor to the stoutest heart Something bar barrie in nature responds chord roughly plucked by rude hands and reverberates through octave of fear
 It is some lingering atavistc strain from the age old days of mans dwelling years when he half worship ped the bright warmth giving flame the blackened stones of his shelter but feared its scorchng breath it eapt uneashed through the whitening forest aisles
 When the first nippng daysof autumn have tinted the sumach with their radiant vermion, when the cotton. woods along the arroyos stand like torches of yellow flame. when the wild duck sweeping southward sends his haunting upon the listening air. then it is that with welcome smiles to the fire on the hearth
 Branches of cedar and pitch pine with oozng gum fall victim to the unsuitable of the glmmering, dancing flames within the fireplace Beneath the flames lie the glowing embers the bright coas with their hints of fortune telling and hidden tales of fe half hidden in the ashes. And out from all steals the welcome warm th penetrating, enveloping filling the chilled frame with new vgor and the torpid mind with hope and for the daily tilt with fate
 Fire is marvellous servant but poor master It is time that we follow the lead of the Town Council and provide ourselves against its forays The time is past when shall sit idly by with helpless hands and hope less hearts to watch its hungry inrOads cherished mand. Water is our servant. Use one to keep the other in abeyance Help with the Volunteer Fire Depart ment
 Keep Fire the servant and never again let him have the mastery in Holbrook Safe upon the hearthstone may his life be long, but never let him roam Make and bound his home for him but never give him yours.
 Safe within his appointed station let him dance and sparkle as he will Sit down before his lambent flames and enjoy his slavery Rejoice in his subugaton, feed him we'll and carefully and he is your servant for aye Sit round the open fire at night in peaceful untroubed content for Fire chained upon the hearthstone is servant and the hearth is the heart of the home.
