chine, made detail drawings of it for patent
application. When no one was interested, he
used the drawings as Christmas cards. He
writes for national magazines and has written
four books - one of them being the best
seller, Country Editor"
One thing makes him really angry
when someone challenges his right to
print news. During small outbreak OF
typhoid fever, authorities were afraid that
printing it would drive away summer visitors
with their lucrative trade. But Hough printed
the story. Local citizens learned that stub
born man resides behind Hough's mild ex-
terror. They also recognize his unassailable
reputation for fairness and square dealing.
Hough is, in sum. city boy who made
good in the country. He respects small things
the way other men respect big things.
He says that up to now all generations have
found it difficult to understand bigness: tre-
mendous figures, cities, steamers and wars.
But he thinks perhaps that now it is more
difficult for people to formulate an idea Of
smallness. Many think that anything small
is simply an early and imperfect version OF
something big.
This says Country Editor Hough,

occasion he slipped. Through an advertising
trade, he acquired 500 razors. He ran an ad,
offering razor free with each new subscrip-
ton. No one was particularly interested and
one old man was openly hostile. Asked if he
wanted razor when he paid for subscrip-
ton he looked long and hard at the editor
and said: 'I'd ruther not have razor

OCCASIONALLY, visitors to the Gazette are
an irritation - especially the ones who con-
slider the paper quaint" Nearly all are free
with advice on how it should be run. Hough
keeps his unruffled good manners. But Joe
Allen. the paper one reporter, says: Il would
throw them out like cordwood."
Another irritation: professional journalists
who insist that country editors should be
good businessmen. Hough's contention is the
opposite. He points to the case of man who
was billed for subscription. The stubborn
New Englander wrote back that he would
pay in equitable" time.
He sent the same reply to second bill.
Hough waited to see what equitable" time
would be. It was six months. The man wrote

HouGH writes obituaries, sets type day or

bicycle soliciting advertising. His beauti-
fully written editorials have been reprinted
in many major u. S. newspapers. They cover
everything life ON whaling ships, barn swal-

Sheridan Says Life May Depend
on Winter Condition Of Car

HELENA-This is the month to be
thankful that you have a car, but
it is also the month of be doubly
thankful if your car is in apple pie
order to meet the added driving
which winter months bring, Super
visor Charles L. Sheridan of the
state highway patrol, admonished
Montana motorists today.
Your life may depend on how
well you can stop and see this
winter" Sheridan said, because traf-
flee experts predict that auto acct
dents will set a new all-time high
during this snow-ice season"
The reason, he said, is a combina-
ton of more cars, more gas and more
restraint weary" drivers. If prac-
tical precautions are not taken for
protection against the two major
hazards - inadequate traction and
reduced visibility-this will result in
the worst traffic accident winter in
history.
Motorists themselves, weary of

wartime restraints, T inclined to
be exuberant, and to take unneces-
sary chances. Millions of motorists
fail to realize that during the years
of the compulsory 35 miles an hour
speed limit, their driving skill may
have grown a bit rusty, particularly
at higher speeds. On snow or ice, 25
miles per hour car be dangerous.
This is especially true of their
ability to judge the distance in
which they can stop their cars on
snow Dr. ice covered pavements. AS a
result, he said, all motorists should
exercise more than usual care this
year, and the care should begin with
getting their cars in the best pos
sible condition for the added winter
hazards.
This should include, he said, the
checking of brakes. tire chains,
windshield wipers, ~defrosters, head
electrical and cooling sys-
TENS, and wen the exhaust.

PLANE OUTPUT HIT
NEW HIGH IN 1914

Washington, d. C.-In a production
effort corresponding to the record
breaking achievements of other war
industries last year, the country's air.
craft plants turned out 96,369 planes
of all types in 1914, with a total air
frame weight of 1,1l2,000,000 lbs,
j. A. Krug, chairman of the War
Production Board, announced in u
year-end report.
Even with planned reductions in
aircraft production undertaken as
early as last summer, when the first
cutbacks were announced, the output
in 1914 was substantially greater
than the previous record of 85,946
planes delivered in 1913. In air.
frame weight, the achievement was
even more impressive, since total
weight of all planes last year ex-
ceeded by about SO per cent their
total air-frame weight in 1913.

tics reported.
Man-days Of labor lost due t.
strikes during the month represented
less than one-fourth Of the amount
lost in the same month in 1913, ac-
cording to the Bureaus official
records.
In all, there were 375 small strikes
in November, a reduction Of 81 frord
the previous month. The number Of
workers involved totaled 100000, as
compared to 100000 in October.
None of the strikes was authorized
by the American Federation Of Labor
or its affiliated national and inter
national unions.

Washington, d. c. = Reconversion
of war industry henceforth will be
entirely dependent on the progress OF
the war, President Roosevelt told
Congress in his budget message.
Because of the present war situa-
ton in Europe, the war production
has brought practically all reconver-
sion moves to an abrupt halt.
In his message, the President made
some important recommendations for
action by Congress on human aspects
of reconversion which have as yet
been ignored. He said:
"The human side of reconversion
requires effective organization to aid
each discharged war veteran and war
worker to find his way back into pro-
ductive peacetime employment. AS
far as veterans are concerned, the
basis is laid by the Servicemen's Re-
adjustment Act. | have already en-
phasized the need to strengthen our
Social Security program.
with respect to the reconversion
period, | am particularly concerned
over the fact that broad categories of
workers are not covered by present
legislation and that present stand
ards for unemployment compensation
are not adequate in many States. To
promote employment opportunities
and to assure the proper occupational
adjustment of returning veterans and
war workers, strong, integrated sys-
tenn of public employment offices is a
basic necessity.
"We can best accomplish, through
permanent legislation, of an effective
national employment service with
adequate coverage throughout the
nation.
"For the reconversion period We
should provide assistance for travel
and retraining of war workers.
"We must also see to it that our
administrative machinery for the adj
justment of labor disputes is ready
for the strains of the reconversion

Labor Department and advising or
ganized labor to measure up TO It's
responsibilities in the postwar era.
Labor in the United States has a
status today never before enjoyed ia
any nation of the world" she said i.
at has therefore definite public re-
sponsibilities and since the public law
of recent years is now so important
to the labor movement itself, one
realizes that any failure to perform
in the field Of public responsibilities
will result in the weakening Of those
laws which today give such oppor-
tunity.
"The next decade or two in the life
Of the labor movement should be de
voted to development Of program Of
public service.
"The right to strike is a precious
defensive weapon, but the effort
should be to develop an orderly pat
tern based on justice and realistic
knowledge of industrial and economic
facts so that like many another old
fashioned weapon the strike, too, can
be put 'unloaded' behind the door and
not used"
For Centralizing Agencies
Miss Perkins reiterated her opinion
that all "the ministerial functions" Of
the scattered and varied agencies
having to do with labor should be
gathered into the Labor Department.
This would include such things as
the employment service of the War
Manpower Commission and the labor
planning and occupational training of
the War Production Board. The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board should
remain entirely independent, although
a part of the department, she said.

$500 Blind Workers Earn
$4,000, 900 In War Work

five hundred blind men and women
employed on government orders since
1889 have earned wages exceeding
S4,000,000 by their manufacture OF
brooms, mops, pillow-cases and SINH
lar items for the armed services, NJ.
c. Nigel, president of the American
Foundation for the Blind, announced
in his annual report, submitted at the
organizations headquarters here.
The bind work in 60 workshops in
80 states, Nigel said, under the Ma
tional Industries for the Blind, which
was started by the foundation in
1888, and acts in liason capacity
between government departments or
dering goods made by the blind and
the workshops.
"Among other contributions made
by the foundation to the war effort, "
Nigel said, "is the present coast-to-
coast goodwill tour of Army hospi-
tails by DIR. Helen Keller, staff mem
Der. Already her visits are bringing
highly favorable reports of their in
spirational and morale-building value
to our wounded men,"
Another useful practice by the
foundation, Nigel reported, is the
presentation of braille-marked
watch to each service man blinded
during the war.
at has resulted to date in the
distribution of 260 such watches, each
engraved with the recipients name, "
he said. Learning to use his watch
to tell the time without having to
ask for it-may seem seem a simple
thing. But for the sightless service
man it marks an important first step
i'm his readjustment to his new, dark
world"
