ENTRAyAGANCE WILL. NOT
WIN THE WAR.

kless borrowing and
spending OF money will not win
the war. Faster production of
the goods necessary for the
prosecution of the war Ia very
essential. but causing these
goods To cost more money and
creating a larger debt will no,
help.
We all hear Of the waste
OF time and money In some of
the defense industries. | have
heard workers in the ship
yard tell me that they are not
kept busy producing and much
of the time there is not any
thing for them TO do. Hard
working. conscientious men
who like to feel that they are
earning their pay are not en-
couraged To do fair days
work. You do not hear any of
the employees In a sawmill say
that they are not kept busy.
Why Because there II no
politics in II. and there Ia some
one at the top who knows his
business. He has to meet COM
petition. These defense indus
tries have steadily increased
wages thereby drawing the
workers away from other bus
inesses that do produce neeessi-
ties. They can not bid as high
as the government.
The great majority of these
workers arc conscientious. They
would rather work than kill
time. Killing time Is really
harder on a good man than
work. II Is not their fault.
Who then is TO blame for this
condition We had the same
thing in World War No. !.
There must be something wrong
with the system Of operation.
The employer is paid ON a cost
plus plan. The more ship
costs the more money he gets.
Economy and efficiency are dis
couraged. and waste and ex-
frssagance are encouraged.
Any amateur business man
knows that that is poor bus
mess. And being that IL Is
poor business. ii Is good poll
tics, for there is no business
sense in politics.

explain why this cost Plus plan

not a better plan be worked

Some Helpful Hints
To Girls on Caring
For Their Clothes
BY KATHERINE HOUISON.

by hATHEKlNE HOUISON.
These days, when so many of you
girls are wearing rings, costume
jewelry and earrings even to school,
this tip on cleaning them will be
welcome:
Take an old toothbrush and any
dependable tooth paste and give
them light but thorough brush
ing, then rinse them carefully in
running water. They'll look like new
again.
If you get a spot on your very
loveliest formal, you can safely clean
it yourself with a good dry cleaning
preparation if you apply 1t with a
piece of white chalk. The chalk will
absorb the stain and when it is
dry 1t will brush of without the dam
ger of leaving a ring" on the dress.
What the well-dressed young lady
will not do: =.
Spoil the effect of a frilly dress by
wearing anklets or sport shoes, or
q tweed outfit with de-brimmed,
dressy hat.
Prove that she wears a slip by
letting it hang below her skirt.
Have shoulder straps slipping
down on her arms, or showing at
the back Of a formal. Sew tapes
to the shoulder seams of your
dresses, with snap fasteners to keep
the shoulder straps where they be-
long, and get a formal that isn't
cut 80 low.
Buy q skirt 80 tight III cups"

Let her hose seams initiate a

These were traded to the Indians
for furs. The Dutch we're clever
at driving bargains and the trading
brought good profits In 1913 four
small houses were built on Manhat-

they formed a colony" but huts
were at least beginning. They
were built on land through which
the famous street, Broadway, now
runs. AS the years passed, more
houses were built and the village of
New Amsterdam became firmly es.:
tablished.
While trading with the Indians in
the Hudson region, the. settlers
learned that the Iroquois tribes were
the most powerful and that the war
riors of those tribes wanted to OBJ
tain guns. To discuss the question
of guns, the commander of Fort
Orange (where Albany now stands
invited the Iroquois chiefs and a
group Of white men to 4 friendly
conference.
An agreement, or treaty" was
made by which it was agreed that
for the white mans guns and pow
der the Indians were to give the
Dutch many fine furs. AS a sign of
friendship the Indians passed
around pipe for all to smoke. To
make peace doubly sure, hatchet
was buried deep in the earth and
the Dutch promised to build a
church over the spot.

Dutch leader said, mo one will dare
to dig up the hatchet because if
that were done the Great Spirit
would punish him" Thus peace
was established between the Dutch

Students Combine
Arithmetic With =
Patriotism

Third grade pupils at Spencer
Street Elementary School. Hyatts-
vile, Md, this month are demon.
strating patriotic method of ap-
plying their arithmetic lessons.
Twice each school day two STU
dents act as cashiers at War
stamp booth which the children
built and decorated. The fact they
are dealing with Uncle Sam S
finances makes the cashiers par
ticularly careful that they know
their arithmetic lessons so they can
give the proper change.
The booth Is operated by two
different students every day so that
all may have a part in aiding the
war effort. For the month Of No.
vember, only third grade students
will operate the booth, but first and
second graders will take over in
months that follow.
Mrs. Margaret Footen, third grade
teacher, who is in charge of the
project, said more than $50 worth
Of stamps were sold during the first
three days "in business" And that
record was made despite the fact
that the cashiers are on duty only
when school opens at 9 am. and at
the luncheon recess at l pm. Last
spring similar enterprise set
record Of more than 5000 in one
month and students are now trying
to break that record.
The booth is sponsored by the
Mothers and Teachers Club Of the
school. When stamp books are
filled. arrangements have been made
for their conversion into War bonds
which will pay dividends when the
children are 10 years older.
