SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. G. "A. L. Reed

VoU may or may not be an In
4 dustrlal worker. BY this
mean one engaged in some large
industrial enterprise. But whether
you are employer or enploye you
are interested in the welfare Of
the worker.
In Europe before the war the
few employers who attempted to
provide better conditions for their
staff were looked upon as i'm.
practical sentimental During
the war, however, when the ma
tional physique III England,
France, Germany ana Belgium
was tested to its utmost in the
battlefield and In industry, such
q large proportion Of the popula-
ton were found to be C-3 instead
of Al In efficiency that it became
obvious that. unless the countries
were to 60 under, something had
to be done at once.
The governments then set UP q
national welfare scheme forced
upon them by sheer necessity.
These schemes produced marvel
ious results in q very short time.
The strength Of q chain Is as its
weakest link, and IL ID obviously
no use expending money and en-
ergy on prenatal infant and child
welfare and on school medical

trialisYn, which sees that the out.
lay on the upbringing will have
been entirely wasted. Legislation
may do much. but unless en-
ployers become Intelligent and
humane, priding themselves on
doing a great deal more than the
law requires. win be Of little
value.
Welfare il and always must be
primarily humane. 1t does not
deal directly with output, hours or
wages. 1t may have 8 consider
able influence on them, for no
welfare scheme can succeed Ia 4
factory where the wages are in
adequate and the hours too long.
Nor can Il succeed except through
the cooperation 81 every one,
from the directors to the young
est messenger boy.
The following are offered by
Kerr az the heads and subdi-
visions Of the scope of welfare
work In a large factory:
1. Health. This includes the
cleanliness of workshops and
their efficient ventilation, light
ing and heating: sanitation; pro-
tective devices and clothing: rest
rooms and cloak rooms; first aid
and ambulance: medical. dental
and convalescent services. and the
canteen.
2. Education. This includes con-
tinuation classes, technical In
struction, practical training and
the maintenance Of q library; also
lectures on hygiene. factory acts
and INDUSTRIAL history. Many
works use cinematograph and
debates and inter-work visits are
very instructive and stimulating.
3. Leisure. The workers insti-
tute or club; outdoor activities.
such as games clubs. indoor
games, hobbies, lodging, and CO.
operation with local organiza.
tiors.
5. Cooperation. An efficient
mechanism for airing suggestions
and complaints: works and safety
committees; the running Of 4
works magazine, and fire Grill.

"A man may admire an intel1i-

The average man could accom-

IL he did not spend half his life
In telling woman how to do

After woman through her In

No doubt. after I'VE discovered
the use of fig-leaves, Adam spent
all his Sunday mornings telling

OAK FIRM IN SEAT
ON FOREST THRONE
SerUiceable and Beautiful
Wood Supreme.

"Sturdy as an oak" What school
boy doesn't know this monarch Of the
forests as the symbol Of strength and
character1
In multitude of hallowed assOcia-
lions, oak has rooted itself deep In
the affections of man, and from the
earliest days of recorded history to
the present time has been highly val
ued for Its utility and beauty, with
the widest range of use of any known
wood.
There was even q law In the an
Client Twelve Tables" concerning the
ownership of acorns, should they by
chance fall upon another mans
ground. Scattered throughout the
countries of the Old world are indi-
vidual oaks, preserved and treasured
through centuries because Of some In
cident or ceremony that took place
beneath their widespread branches
The extraordinary strength OF oak
made this wood most servlceable to
primitive man, and as civilization re-
fined itself and found room for express
slons of beauty, this same durability
led woOdcraftsmen to trust their finest
inspirations to the staunch fiber OF
oak.
In the Middle ages oaken shrines,
halls, churches and public edlHces of
matchless beauty were created which
still stand in good preservation today.
When the old London bridge was
taken down In 1897, oak piles from
the old foundation were found appar-
emily as sound as when first driven,
over 600 years ago.
Breakwaters In the Severn In Eng
land are still in use, whose oak piles
were driven by the Romans. Ancient
shipwrlghts found that elbowed
branches, knotted and gnarled, made
excellent ships timbers, to protect
brave men who went down to the sea
in ships"
From the time when massive furni-
ture and beams Of oak graced the
halls of medieval nobility, through
periods of more delicate design, to the
present day, dominated by the demand
for utility, oak remains the wood you
can trust and the wood by which all
others are Judged.
"As strong as oak; as beautiful as
oak; as enduring as oak"-such ex-
presslons are common. You never
grow tired Of oak. Scars do not seem
to mar oak as they do other fancier
woods; as In man, they seem rather
the marks of character.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, In his eau
tocrat of the Breakfast Table" has
this to say Of the oak: "Take the
oakland we find 1t always standing
as type Of strength and endurance.
wonder II you ever thought Of the
single mark of supremacy which dis
tlngulshes this tree from all our other
forest trees. All the rest OF them
shirk the work Of resisting gravity
the oak alone defies 1t. 1t chooses the
horizontal direction for its limbs. 30
that their whole weight may tell, and
then stretches them out 90 or 90 feet
30 that the strain may be mighty
enough to be worth resisting"

Wireless Fog Warnings

Alaska, says the Pathfinder Magazine.
Every spring just before the salm-
on run up the rivers to spawn, Ioguk
goes to the river mouths, where he
performs queer incantati0ns and
magic rites. He wears a wooden mask
resembling salmon trout and dances

hit and Hoffman tried again. This
time the shot grazed the match, light

then picked 1t up and lighted a cigar
