1t is not often that an average
reader Of secular newspapers en-
counters the name of a sister Of a
religious order in print. CuStomarily,
the wish of a nun to avoid public
notice is respected. On occasion,
however, it is a duty as well as
privilege to mention a devoted men,
Der Of a church sorority because of
her contribution to the welfare of
the entire community. Such a time
is that Of the passing of Sister Mary

She was IS, a native Of Ireland
who entered a nursing convent in
her youth and remained a minis

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trace,OeU.

SO our correspondent was in very rare
company. indeed, if the bird was really
a catbird.
The chances are that 1t was a moCking-
bird, which shows white beneath its
wings when it flies.
The question Of sanitation in lunch
rooms and various other public eating
places is one which has long concerned
the local Health Department.
The staff Of inspectors is too limited
to permit as good coverage as the depart
ment would like.
With the tremendous increase OF peo-
pie and eating places in recent years.
the problem has become very much
aggravated.
Elaborate studies have been made in
recent years of the necessity for steam
cleaning of all eating utensils used in
public places. They show as one might
suspect, that the fork harbors the most
germs, even after what seems to be thor
ough cleaning, closely followed by the
spoon and lastly the knife.
Coffee mugs must be heavy with germ
life, judging from some of the rims one
sees.
Careful persons are advised to turn
the cup around, with the handle to the
left This puts to the lip section of
the rim which seldom is used by right
handed persons, who comprise most of
the populace.
1t is said that in Singapore and points
east, careful travellers in the old days
made 1t habit to carry small bottle
of alcohol and piece of cotton, and to
thoroughly apply them to every cup rim
and eating tool.
Perhaps this would be good idea to
use in any Of the dirty spoon" type of
restaurant, So-called.
Women make a practice, we have
noticed, of wearing their gloves until
they take their seat in a restaurant.
In this way they have clean hands,
without handling change, etc.
This, it seems to us, is good idea.
although we fear not many men will
put it into practice.
There Is no way, unfortunately, to
prevent people from sneezing and cough
ing while eating.
We have had a cup OF coffee handed
us, to be followed Immediately by blast
of a sneeze from the counterman.
Such things will happen, even in the
best appointed places.
The best we can do is to be as careful
as we can.
If this will not suffice, there is nothing
to be done except not to eat downtown.
No doubt going without lunch would
be good for many persons. Perhaps
rationing will take care of that. AL
! persons easily susceptible to colds must
| give thought to such matters. Others oi
tougher stock may do as they please
| perhaps.
Washington so far is evidently dupli-
eating Londons experience, with the frs
! war winter fortunately free from exag.
| gerated disease. Every care should bt
! taken to keep it that way, if possible.

The Kaiser Case

The move by the executive council
OF the American Federation of Labor
to have President Roosevelt call off
the National Labor Relations Board
inquiry into hiring practices at three
West Coast Shipyards of the Henry
j. Kaiser Co, where Federation
locals are maintaining closed shop
contracts over the protests of the
C1O, draws attention once more to
the serious threat to the shipbuilding
program created by the inter-union
rivalry.
The Labor Board entered the case
as the result of complaints that con-
tracts were executed with nearly a
score Of AFL locals when there was
only handful of Workmen at the
yards which now employ about IS 900,
and that since then, Federation
membership has been a condition
of employment. Even this has not
proved sufficient in many instances.
the board was told, TOO men with CIO
background being discharged despite
the fact they had joined the AFL.
In telegram to the President. the
Federation leaders accuse the board
of pursuing a stubborn, stupid pol
icy" which will decrease produc-
ton, lower morale, develop ineffi-
cheney and create confusion and
chaos" The Inference to be drawn
from this is that trouble will follow
if the AFL arrangement is upset, and
this may be true. So far as the
boards action is concerned however
it seems clear that once it was con-
frOnted with specific charges that
the Kaiser management was violat-
ing the Wagner Act by discriminate
ing against C1O members and assist
ing the Federation locals, it had no
choice but to nvestigate-unless the
law was to be ignored
This raises a question as to Wheth-
er there should not be some modif-
cation Of the law to prevent such
interferenceS with the conduct of the
war.
The case, incidentally. is a remind
pr that the AFI and CIO are sup
posed to be committed to policy of
settling their own disputes,
