The total, which in- ceed even this huge sum, possibly by $100,000,000. Thus far it stands at $985,342,387, with Saturday’s spend- ing not included. For the 23 work- ing days thus far counted, it shows average expenditures of approxi- mately $42,600,000 daily, or almost $30,000 every minute of the day and night. tures is greater at the present time steadily growing. A $2,000,000,000- month, officials assert, is not far off. It may be reached with the retire- ment of short-time treasury certifi- cates—to be met out of Liberty Bond receipts by midwinter. Expenditures for the fiscal year thus far have reached the total of $3,446,6589,764, of which $1,770,700,- 000, more than half, is represented by loans to the allies. These loans and the interest upon them, are to be repaid to the Government by the borrowers and, therefore, do not rep- resent actual expense to the Amer- ican people. Expenditures Go. October’s huge volume of funds paid cut is made up as follows: For the army and navy the ship- ping board, the aircraft production maintenance of domestic govern- mental machinery, and all other Fed- eral Government activities, $395,296,- 200. For interest on short-time certifi- cates of indebtedness and interest on the public debt, $3,458,798. For maintenance of the Panama Canal, $1,523,062. For redemption of certificates of indebtedness issued in anticipation of Liberty Bond receipts of the second issue, $133,934,862. For the redemption of one-year Treasury notes, $5,057,000. For the retirement of national dank and Federal reserve dank notes, 1,872,265. ; For loans to the allies, $444,200,- 000. Total, $985,342,387. During the corresponding period last year, before America's entry into the war, the total was $81,026,866. The total expenditures of the curront fiscal year to date are $3,446,659,764, compared with $331,238,313 during the same period last year, an increase of more than 900 per cent. Receipts Are Large. Because of the large issues of sbort-time certificates of indebted- ness this month, the Government’s receipts have been greater than its expenditures and total $1,060,064,807. This is almost 20 times the amount, $54,651,308, received during the cor- responding period last year. Receipts are divided approximately as fol- lows: Short-time certificates of indebted- ness, $973,880,000; final payments, including interest on the first Liber- ty Bond sale, $13,419,179; Panama Canal tolls, $277,158 (an increase of more than 60 per cent over last Oc- tober); deposits for the purchase of one-year Treasury notes and the re- tirement of National Bank and Fed- eral Reserve notes of $5,064,000 and $232,595 respectively, and ordinary revenue receipts of $67,191,874. The last named item compares fa- vorably with receipts of $52,114,650 last October, when virtually the same revenue laws were in effect, and is due to show shortly a tremendous in- crease under the new revenue law soon to become effective in its main yrovisions. The present month's rev- enue receipts are composed of the tollowing items: Tariff dues at ports of entry, $11,- 452,962, or a decrease of more than $5,000,000 compared with last Octo- ber; ordinary internal revenue in- cluding the taxes on whisky and beer and other stamp taxes, $41,136,367, an $11,000,000 increase; income tax receipts, $5,653,217, an increase of 350 per cent, and miscellaneous items $8,949,388, an increase of more than $5,000,000. Receipts for the fiscal year, in- cluding $513,108,572 obtained in pay- ments on the Liberty Loan and 62. 029,222,000 obtained through mu- ance of certificates of indebtedness, total $2,856,212,027, or about $590,- 000,000 less than expenditures. There still remains, however, a balance of $547,071,940 in the Treasury, the big balance of more than $1,100,000,000 the first of the fiscal year—the result of first Liberty Bond paymente— having more than offset the excess of disbursements over receipts.

By Associated Press. BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND’ BELGIUM, Sunday, Oct. 28.— The highly important victory by the French and Beigian armies over the marshiands of Flanders was won by men who battled over morasses and through wator sank literally to their necks at times. With rifle and cold steel they conquered the enemy ina strip of territory, which includes such places as Kippe, Merckem, Aschhoope, Verbrandesmis and Kostermolen. | The striking feature was played by large and vital reached the neighborhood of Luy- ghem in the afternoon, and began their assault, the Belgians, who had been watching from their lines across the floods, joined in, and numbers of them, piling into ferries, poled their way to the eastern shore and hurled themselves on the cealed in concrete defenses in the region north of Luyghem with such good effect that they quickly cap- tured this entire northern tip of the so-called Luyghem peninsula. The territory conquered is a strip about 7000 yards long and varying in width from 1500 yards to 3000: A line drawn from a point just north of Langewaede westward almost Sevekoten, would constitute the base Germans con- From this base it extends in northwesterly direction to its tip, the Luyghem Peninsula, yp into an inun- dated area formed om the west by Yser waterways above Driegrachten, and on the east by the Steenluisvaart River, and a large lake known as Le Blanckaert, and streams ‘lowing southward from this body of water. The French began thelr attack at dawn after heavy artillery prepara- tion. In their push Friday they had moved forward over a 1000-yard front to the lines which ran east from Langewaede, at the end of a marsh which was impassable for large bodies of infantry. Small vodics of poilus, however, had waded through the deep water and capture! two farms, one on either end of the line of advance. Those farms provided a »ridge- head and, by a wonderful feat of the engineers, lines of pontoons were slung across the marsh Friday night, the men working in water often reaching above their shoulders. Over these bridges the infantry. advanced at 5:15 o’clock yesterday morning and at the same time the troops cn their right shoved ahead along dry ground. The poilus rapidly reduced re- maining concrete fortifications with hand grenades, bombs and rifles. Be- tween Kloostermolen and Aschhoop they encountered the Eighth Bavari- an Reserve Division, which had come into line Friday night. Sanguinary fighting occurred here at close quarters. The French were faced with fresh troops, but they hurled theniselves on the enemy with bayonets and won their way to the line which included both these villages. ä The advance northward was a heart-breaking task. The ground was vile and the whole region was pitted with machine gun nests. The attack on Merckem was made under a terrific fire from the German ar- tillery. This place lies close to the flooded Martievart and mud lay deeg all about it. Merckem was not strong- ly defended, but even before the Frer.ch reached it German guns had begun to shell it heavily. Through this barrage of high ex- plosives the poilus floundered to dry ground in the outskirts of the village and flung themselves on the defend- ers with rifle and bayonet. In a comparatively short, but intense struggle in Méckhem, the French- men won their way through, leaving many German dead behind. Similar fighting occurred at Kippe. where the assaulting troops again came under a heavy German artil- lery fire. But the French kept on. At Luyghem a bitter struggle was staged. Luyghem is on the roid which leads across the otherwise im- passable marshes to Driegrachten. This road was heavily defended and barricaded with wire. The French fought their way about Luyghem and gained posses- sion of this road. The village held out against repeated assaults. By late afternoon the road had been cleared and troops were rushed across from Driegrachten. The at- tack on Luyghem was renewed and the Germans still alive were forced to surrender. Belgians Swept Forward. It was at this time that the Bel- gians to the north beyond the floods came into action and as many Be- gians as possible were rushed across to assist in the attack. There were not many men who landed on the shore of the German territory, but they were enough. The sector left for them to conquer was about 2500 yards wide at the extreme width and some 3000 yards long. In the north ern part was Vyhufzen and therv were many more fortifications scat- tered over the sector. The Belgians — Erker 8 Datablished 1879. Do your eyes bother you?

Detroit Cincinnat! — w — | | MACEDONAN FRONT 13 Shows Correspondent What the Army of the Orient 3 Is Doing. 350-MILE LINE GUARDED American Officer Has Been Ad- ded to Staff—About 25 Divi- sions in the Army. Correspondence of the Associated Press. SALONIKI, Oct. 4.— We are glad to see Americans here and we want to see more of them,” said Gen. Sarrail, Commander in Chief of the army of the Orient, to a correspond- ent of the Associated Press, who was received at grand headquarters to- day. Gen. Sarrail is a man of large build, much like Gen. Pershing, with gray hair and heavy gray mustache, big chest and shoulders. Three bronze stars on his sleeve tell his rank as Major-General in the French army and generalissimo of all the al- lied forces on this front—seven ar- mies in all, French, British, Italian, Russian, Servian, Greek and Alban- jan. “Yes, we want to see the Amer- loans,“ he said, their reputation has come ahead of them. We hear the most flattering reports of those who have landed in France—just the kind we need. “This army of the Americans has had a stimulating effect on all our fronts,” the General went on. “It was timely, and our men appreciat- ed it, for they have been bearing this burden a long time. They have carried on a noble and devoted work but they are naturally gratified to find that the great American repub- lic has thrown tremendous weight in the scales and that the vigor and youth of America will soon be fight- ing with the allied forces in the cause of humanity. For the morale of the troops as well as the great in- ternational effect, nothing could have been more stimulating than the entry of the United States into the war.“ What Army of Orient Is Doing. The General desired that the am- plest facilities be given to see just what the army of the Orient was doing. Reports had been spread in America, probably through German propagandists, that the Sarrail army was in a bad way and was going to withdraw. Nothing could be further from the facts, and the General wished an American correspondent to make his own observations. The whole range of this huge op- eration was gone over as dispatches from these fronts will later show. The main features can be summed up about like this, omitting only the number of men and divisions, for obvious reasons: The army of the Orient has a front of about 350 miles, running across Macedonia, Servia and part of Al- bania. It sweeps in a great arc about 60 miles back of Saloniki, beginning on the Aegean Sea at the Gulf of Orfano on the east and running to a point 38. miles west of Koritza, Al- bania. Here it connects with the Italian front, across Albania, which is separate from the army of the Orient. About 25 Divisions on Front. Roughly speaking, this 350 miles of front is divided between the British on the right, the French in the center and the French, Servians, Greeks, Russians, Italians and Al- banians on the left. This is a huge front, with not far from 25 divisions guarding its whole length. It is a composite army, with Generals, Princes and Pashas on the roster of the supreme command. The latest fighting has been in the Monastir region, where three big lakes lie at the point where Servia, Macedonia and Albania come togeth- er. Here the French offensive has made a forward drive of 40 miles, from Pograda, at the foot of Lake Ochrida, to Padahodja, far up on the west shore of the lake. Besides the fighting, an immense amount of construction is being done along the whole front, with a network of splen- did roads, for the quick shifting of troops, substantial bridges of steel and masonry and vast camps of sup- plies and ammunition. Everything is being done with the evident purpose of permanency and there is no evidence of withdrawal, now or later. n Added to Staff. Gen. Sarrail makes frequent visits to the front, going to Monastir. Koritza or some other point ag an offensive is delivered. Maj. Davis of the United States army has just been added to the staff of allied officers with Gen. Sarrail. The sign on Maj, Davis’ office reads: “American Liaison Officer“! What lies ahead of the army of the Orient is partly a military question and partly political. The military 75 authorities are united in the view that this Balkan front must be held as a vital link in the chain encircling | & the central Powers.

ISAAC 1 TAYLOR, SAAC S. TAYLOR FOUND DEAD IN HOMIE Architect's Death Due to Heart Disease and Chronic Nephritis, His Physician Says. | Isaac Stacker Taylor, 67 years old, architect and director of works of the Louisiana.Purchase Exposition, and designer of many public and business buildings in St. Louis, was found dead at his home, 6814 Bart- mer avenue, at 7:30 a. m. yesterday. Dr. John M. Grant, his physician, reported to the Coroner that death was due to valvular heart disease, with chronic nephritis as a contribu- tory cause. Taylor was a bachelor and the only members of his household were serv- ants. The discovery of his death was made by William Andrew, his butler, who went to call him for breakfast. When there was no response the but- ler called a policeman, who forced open the door of Taylor’s room. Taylor was at his office, 717 Lo- cust street, Saturday afternoon. He retired about 10 p. m., after com- plaining to his butler that he had a pain in his chest. He had been un- der medical treatment for about six months. Brother in Mexico. 80 far as is known, Taylor's only living relative is a brother, George, who lves in Mexico. He _ notified, | Already widely known as an ar- chitect of the first class, Taylor achieved international fame as the designer and builder of the’ St. Louis World's Fair, which opened in 1904 and in which practically all civil- ized nations participated. The gen- eral architectural scheme of the Fair was under Taylor's direction, and he personally designed some of the buildings., These were of “staff” and were torn down after the Expo- sition closed. He was the destgner of the Jefferson Memorial erected by the Exposition management and turned over to the city as a perma- nent monument to Thomas Jeffer- son. Several of the first large buildings in St. Louis were planned by Taylor, including the rebuilt Southern Hotel, the Planters Hotel, National Bank cf Commerce, the Globe-Democrat, the Rialto and Columbia buildings, Mer- cantile Club, Board of Bducation Building and the Liggett & Myers to- bacco factory group. Taylor was born in Nashville, Tenn. He came to St. Louis in his youth and was graduated: by St. Louis University in 1869. He began his professional career in the office of George I. Barnett. These two noted architects were long asso- ciated. For the ‘ast 25 years Taylo- has been in business for himself. Taylor in his prime was a man of great physical bulk and was reputed to have the largest head in St. Louis. There were published statements that he wore an 8% hat. At one time he was noted for 51. fondness for the good things of tu table and for his great capacity in their consumption. One of the sto ries often told about him in this con- nection was that one night after ho and another well-known citizen had dined well at Faust's Restaurant they bantered each other to an oys ter-eating contest, and Taylor’s op- of build, defeated him by standing at the oyster counter and eating 256 Con- servation had not been invented a: that time.

Nearly 2000 persons, according to Justice of the Peace Sturdy of Valley Park, are destitute in that town and result of the closing of the Missouri Plate Glass Co.’s plant, which has gone into the hands of a recciver. Four hundred men were thrown out of work and practically all of them have families. They had not been paid for four weeks, Justice Sturdy said, and have claims against the company ranging from $60 to $200, aggregating $25,000 to $30,000. Sturdy reported the situation to- day to Miss Marian L. Griffin, secre- tary of the St. Louis County Welfare Association, and urged that relief be given at once. He wil lalso bring the situation to the attention vf the County Court tomorrow. He says the men have no money to go away and get work elsewhere. Water Supply Is Cut Off.. The water suply of the entire town has been cut off by the Valley Park Water Co., a subsidiary of the plate glass company. It closed Saturday. Most of the well-to-do residents have cisterns, carry water from the Meramec Riv- er. The glass company was thrown into bankruptcy in the United States District Court last Thursday by cred- itors. It ig a $1,500,000 corporation as the successor of the St. Louis Plate Glass Co. The plant was dam- aged by flood in August, 1915, and by fire later. William J. Vance is the receiver.

Devobter of a Russian Count and herself a member of the Imperial Court before the Revolution. CHAPTER IV (Continued). FTER having beckoned to me to sit down, Rasputin poured out some A tes in a glass and proceeded to drink it, sipping the beverage slowly = = out of the saucer into which he poured it out of the glass whieh he =~ just filled. Suddenly he pushed the same saucer toward me with the ＋ fink. 2 1 did not in the least feel inclined to take his remains, I declined the tempting offer, which made him draw together his black and bushy eye bra th the remark: , ‘*Better persons than thou art have drunk out this saucer, but if thou wantest to make a fuss it is no concern of mine.’’ "Abd then he ¢alled out, ‘‘Awdotial Awdotia!’’ The elderly woman ho bed opened the door for me hastened to come into the room. “There,” said Rasputin, this per- has been my fate to do some good son! 2 toward me with his tor others. What dost thou require | “this person refuses to of me?” 3 drink out of the cup of life; take it thou instead.” The woman instantly dropped on her knees and Rasputin proceeded to open her mouth with his fingers | and: ony down her throat the tea ‘ avhich I had disdained. She then | prostrated herself on the ground be- | fore him and reverently kissed his | feet, remaining in this attitude until ne pushed her aside with his heavy - ' the Lion in His Den. I proceeded to explain that I want- ed nothing in the matter of worldly goods, but asked this singular per- sonage to be kind enough to tell m- tor the paper which I represented whether it was true that but for him Russia would have declared war upon Austria the year before. “Who has told you such a thing?” he inquired. : It is a common saying in St. Pe- tersburg.“ I replied, and some pec- ple say that you have been right in doing 80.“ ö “Right? Of course, I was right,” he answered with considerable irri- tation. “All these silly people who surround our Czar would like to see him commit stupid&ies.

I only spoke the truth when I told our Czar that he would be ruined if he allowed himself to be persuaded to go to war. This coun- try is not ready for it. Bestdes, God forbids war, and if Russia went to war the greatest misfortune would fall upon her. I only spoke the truth; I always speak the truth, and people believe me.’ “But,” I remarked, “no one can understand how it is that your opin- ion always prevails in such grave matters. People think that you must have some strange power over men to make them do what you like.” „And what if I have,“ he ex- claimed angrily. They are, all of them, pigs—all these people who want to discuss me or my doings. I am but a poor peasant, but God has spoken to me and He has al- lowed me to know what it is that He wishes. I can speak with our Csar. I am not afraid to do 80, as they all are. And he knows that he ought to listen to me, else all kina of evil things would befall him. I could crush them all, all these people who want to thwart me. I could crush them in my hand as I do this piece of bread,” and while he was speaking he seized a biscuit out of a plate on the table and re- duced it to crumbs. They have tried to send me away, but they will never get rid of me, because God is with me and Gricha shall outlive them all. I have seen too much and I know too much. They are obli- gated to do what I like, and what I like is for the good of Russia. As for these Ministers and Generals and all these big functionaries whom ev- ery one fears in this capital, I do not trouble about them. I can send them all away if I Ie. The spirit of God is in me and will protect “A Silly Lot Are These red Thou canst say this to those who have sent thee to see me. Tho. canst tell them that the day wil come when there will be no on worth anything in our holy Russia except our Czar and Gricha, th servant of God. Yes, thou canst tel them so, and be sure that thou dos it. IL I protested that I should conside: this my first duty, but at the sam. time begged ‘the servant of God, as he called himself, to explain to me by what means he had acquired th: influence which he possessed. “By telling the truth to people about themselves, he quickly re plied. Thou probably thinkest tha‘ all these fine ladies about the cour: told about their failings. But there it is that thou art mistaken. The; me call them by their proper names and remind them that they are bu b———s, and the daughter of b——-s. that they immediately fall at my who come to me do not care to be feel so disconcerted when they hea 4 one point which interested my friends. watt Thou must not be curious, shouted Rasputin. I am not here to tell thee the reasons for what I choose to do. It should suffice thee to know that I would at once return to Pokrowskole if ever I thought my services were useless to my country. Russia is governed by fools. Yes, they are all of them fools, these pigs and children of piss.“ he repeated with insistence. But I am not a fool. I know what I want, and if I try to save my country, who can blame me for it?“ Rasputin’s Influence Over Ministers. “But Gregory Efimitsch,’” I insist- ed, “can you not tell me at least whether it is true that some Minis- ters do all that you tell them?” “Of course, they do,” he replied angrily. They know very well their chairs would not hold them long if they didn’t. Thou shalt yet see some surprises before thou diest, daugh- ter,” he concluded with a certain melancholy in his accents. Awdotia entered the room again. “Gregory Efimitsch, * she said, “there is Father John of Ladoge waiting for you, “Ah! I had forgotten him.” Then he turned toward me. “Listen again,” he said; “this is a parish priest, very poor, who is seek- ing to be transferred into another parish somewhere in the south. Aw- dotia, call on the telephone the sec- retary of the Synod and tell him that I am very much surprised to hear that Father John has not yet been appointed to another parish. Tell him this must be done at once, and he must have a good one. I require an immediate answer.“ The obedient Awdotia went out again, and we could hear her once more talk on the telephone. “The socretary of the Synod presents his humble compliments to you, Ba- tiouschka,” she said when she re- turned. Who cares for his compliments?“ interrupted Rasputin. ‘Will the man have his parish or not? This is all that I want to know.“ “The order for his transfer will be presented for the Minister’s signa- ture tomorrow,” sald Awdotia. “This is right,” sighed Rasputin with relief. And then turning to me: „Art thou satisfied?” he ~ asked, | ‘and hast thou seen enough to tell to thy friends?” I declared myself ent deus satisfied. Everybody Comes to Me for Some- | thing. hen go,” said Rasputin. “I am busy and cannot talk to thee any longer. I have so much to do. P- erybody comes to me for something, and people seem to think that I am here to get them what they need or require. They believe in Gricha, these poor people, and he likes to help them. But as for the questian of war, this is all nonsense. We shall not have war, and if we have, then I shall take good care it will not be for long.“ He dismissed me with a nod of his head, and his face assumed quite a shocked look when he found that I was retiring without seeming to no- tice the hand which he was awkward- — # ly atretching out tomes But 1 knew that he expected people, as 4 of course, te kiss his dirty fingers, and as I wae not at all inelined 40% 40 #0, I made es if I did net notice } his gesture. As I was pasting inte the next room, I could perceive through a half open door leading into another apartment the yuung lady whom Rasputin had called Ma- tlie Iwanowna. She was prostrated Before a sacred irrage hanging u a ¢eorner, with a lamp burning in front of it, with her eyes fixed on Heaven, aud quite an illuminated expression on her otherwise plain features. St. Teresa might have looked Ie that. But seen in the light of our Incredu- lous twentieth century, she appeared | a worthy subject for Charcot, or some such eminent nervous doctor, and her place ought to have been the hospital of “La Salpetriere”’ rath- er than the den of the modern Cagli- ostro, who was making ducks and drakes out of the mighty Russian Empire. (Continued Tomorrow.) We A eee feet. and Gricha is not such a fool as one thinks. ought to be treated. Wilt thou se how I treat them?” I said that nothing would give me more pleasure. Rasputin went to the door and called Awdotia. “Go to the telephone,” he said when she came in, ask the Countess I to come at once.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1917. Be ela hoy e ST.LONIS POST-NISPATCH ST LONMIS POST-DISPATTH an opinion that Police Sergeants, un- der an old law, had the power to pass on qualification of bondsmen desir- ing to obtain the release of prison- ers held on charges of misdemeanor and alleged violation of ay ordi- nances. For many years it had been the custom for the police to accept bond from only those bondsmen who had qualified in the Circuit Court or the Court of Criminal Correction. These were known as professional bond- men and the rates they charged for their services were in most cases rather high. A prisoner who wished to furnish bond with a personal friend or rela- tive as surety was prevented from doing so because the prospective bondsman was not qualified in court. The professional bondsman got a lot of business as 4 result of that system. Under the new order the professional's business will be re- duced. 0 Wade to Speak at T. M. O. A. Festus J.

Jopene at the Jefferson last night, symphony jazz orchestra in itself, and DROP IN LATE IF YOU VISIT “DEW DROP INN” First Part of Musical Show at Garrick Suffers From a Stupid Plot. By CARLOS F. HURD. HOSE who accept the invitation T contained in the title of “Dew Drop Inn,” at the Shubert- Garrick Theater this, week, may properly be advised to do their drop- ping in rather late. For the first hour or so, a half- dozen capable principals and a good- looking chorus, with some pleasing music to sing, struggle to overcome the handicap of an exceedingly stu- pid plot. In the latter part of the evening, .having apparently discov- ered that nobody in the audience cares a hang about the burglarious (or as the program says, bulgarious) ambitions of the chief character, the showfolk forget about the plot and Percival Knight wastes no little time, and almost destroys his stand- ing with the audience, by his in- sistence on the idea that there is something funny about a young man’s desire to go crooked, and to take two others with him. This crook stuff, as here handled, is wholly without comedy value, and the play would be improved by dropping it, and introducing some other reason for the presence of the young men in a run-down hotel. This would eliminate the opening scene on a park bench, which sug- gests the cheaper grade of vaude- ville. A Vivid Pajama Show. Later, when the charms of burg- lary have been fully exploited, a dis- play of pajamas, which looks like a wall paper exposition, helps to di- vert the audience, and some laughs are enjoyed with the physically tre- mendous Florence Morrison, with Bliss Milford, who plays a slavey role prettily, and with Knight himself. Knight’s principal song is Little by Little and Bit by Bit,” which Roger Gray used to sing at the Park The- ater, in the musical comedy days of that house, and before ‘Dewdrop Inn“ existed. Florence Webber looks attractive, especially in a Red Cross costume, and sings accepta- bly. Arthur Aylsworth, leading male singer, also does well. One of his lines, addressed to a member of the chorus, is: “What can you do? Nothing? You'd make a good wife.“ Each of the chorus contributes a bit, the lisping specialty of the red-haired member being the most amusing. She tries to say “sassafras.” Of the songs, “You Kind o’ Look Good to Me,” sung by Knight and Miss Milford, Travel On,“ by the principals, and I'll Be Coming Home to You,” sung by Miss Webber, are enjoyable. O'Brien’s Blackface Show a Treat for Lovers of Minstrelsy. One of the catch lines in Neil O’Brien’s minstrel show, which is: “Everything is secret; everything is mystery.” That’s the way it is, as it were, when we try to figure out the perennial success of this corpulent burnt-cork impresario in putting over a form of entertainment which was popular when our leading fami- lies burned coal oil lamps and padded their ingrain carpets with straw. The fact that O’Brien’s black-face aggregation of entertainers has been keeping in close touch with the camp kitchen through six campaigns is evi- dence, as the end man might say, that there are still “a pow-ful passel * folks” who enjoy minstrel shows, just as there are others who will sit up all night and wait for a century plant to bloom. Methuseleh was an enthusiastic minstrel . first-nighter until his whiskers grew so long that they tickled the horse-fiddler, and they wouldn’t let him sit in the front row any more. Neil O’Brien needn't worry about his ability to keep minstrelsy alive. For one thing, he is showing right in the same building with the Union Electric, which has a pulmotor ga- rage, open day and night, and sec- ondly, which is more to the point, he has surrounded himself with as fine an aggregation of ballad war- biers, foot-shakers and joke slingers as it would be possible to find.

It is noticeable that there is . ly a war note in the two and one- -half hours’ entertainment. “Down South Everybody's Happy,” “When It’s Moonlight on the Levee,” “Back to Alabama in the Spring,” “All I Want is Ireland,“ and “My Hawaii, You're Calling Me,” are titles which indicate how the wind blows in minstrelsy in these troublous times. The nearest thing to a war song was c ballad in praise of the Red Cross nurse.

TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 29.—Declar- ing that $50,000,000 was taken out of the pockets of the Kansas farm- ers in 24 hours, when the Govert. ment fixed the price of the 1217 wheat crop, Gov. Capper, in a letter to Food Administrator Hoover, de- clares that “the sacrifice apparently has been made in vain, because the millers, the bakers and the retailers have not reduced their prices ac cordingly and they show no dispo- sition to reduce them.” “The farmer,” the letter contin- ues, “who still is paying as much or more for his flour and everything he buys, is losing confidence in the pow- er of the Government to enforce a square deal and the general effect of the situation as it stands is deplor- able. /There can be no defense of a eystem that takes profit away from the producer through Government authority and yet fails to give the consumer the benefit of that saving.” Millers are making a profit of $2.55 a barrel above what formerly was considered a fine profit, the Gov- ernor asserts. l LETTER CARRIERS ARE INSPECTED Prayer for America’s Success in War Combined With Event. The eighth semi-annual inspection yesterday of the uniformed em- ployes of the St. Louis postoffice was combined with a patriotic service in observance of the day of prayer f America’s success in the war. The invocation was by the Rev. E. Com bie Smith, pastor of the Maple Ave- nue M. E. Church, and another prayer was said by the Rev. B. T. Kemerer, rector of St. George’s Epis- copal Church. The names of 56 Smployes of the postoffice now in the armed service of the nation were read. Postmas- $1,000,000 worth of Liberty Bonds (6 lighten the work of letter g. in the campaign just closed.

The baker would not buy flour unless it had its standard weight printed on each sack or barrel. have a standard weight same as other things we buy? Bread was advanced in price and low- ered in weight when flour was at its highest price, then quoted at $16.80 per barrel, Now flour is at least $6 a harrel lower and the loaf of bread is kept down at the same weight and up at the same price. That's not fair and I am going to agitate for a -standard weight loaf of bread; even if it has many qualities as a baker told me once that was the reason they could not make a standard loaf. He would be the first one to complain if his barrel of flour did not weigh 196 pounds or his half barrel or 98-pound sack did not weigh that weight; yet he seems to ob- ject to let people know how much they are getting for their money. and some places in the United States they have bread a standard weight of 16 ounces, sell it for 6c and get most all their flour from the United States. Now let the bakers be fair like other erchants. Have a regular weight of better than other foodstuffs. We are not asked to deny ourselves anything for full health and strength. We are not even asked to deny ourselves the pleasure of eating good things. We are asked only to eliminate all waste of any kind of food, which shculd at all times be a fundamental rule of life. We are not asked to deny ourselves beef, pork and pork prod- ucts, wheat, butter and sugar altogether, but to use less of them; to use cornmeal, oatmeal and Price and Weight of Bread. Wheat and rye mixed with wheat flour, or to substitute occa- sionally cornbread and rye bread for wheat bread. All are good to eat and good for health and strength. ‘So with the meats; find excellent and tasty substitutes, of which we produce an abun- dance. With economy and without waste we can live abundantly, we can control without legal inter- ference the prices of foodstuffs and we can supply suffering Europe with plenty of food to sustain life and strength.

Their con- clusions in general may be summed up in these words, adopted in the form of a resolution: The first object in education is the train- ing of human beings in mind and character, as citizens of a free country, and any techni- cal preparation of boys or girls for a particu- lar profession, occupation or work must be consistent with this principle. The investigators represented two distinct groups, teachers of science and teachers of the humanities. One of the things they agreed upon was that while both natural science and literary subjects should be taught to all pupils under 16 the curriculum should not be specialized but general. Specialization should be gradual for pupils even beyond that age, they hold, and Of this descent, as follows: Otto The ed the other to tell him about the settied America, that the Irish the idea that the Germans settled C.

Whenever they think it is time for them to get another raise in wages, which is every few weeks, they throw a monkey wrench into the cogs of coal production and stop the machinery for a week. They call it a strike, but it is not a strike. It is sabotage of the worst sort. It is unauthorized and in violation of the laws of their own making. Its purpose is to terrorize operators and coerce the Government into giving them more money. The procedure is simple. Led by pro-German agitators without official standing, they throw down théir tools on the most trivial pretexts or on a demand for more wages than they, by their oint agreement with the operators, have bound themselves to accept. Production is stopped for a few days or a week. Just fh time to avert the ex- pulsions threatened by their officers and escape the slow wrath of the Government, they go back to work for a little while, and then repeat the performance. The motives are disloyalty and greed. The dis- loyalty consists less in a definite desire to harm the country than in indifference to its welfare and a purpose to make that secondary to their greed. Although, as shown by payrolls, they can earn from $26 to $75 a week, if they will work, they want more and the operators, under the pressure of sabotage in the ‘guise of strikes, have agreed to give it to them if the Government will let them charge the consumers more, and the Government, with full knowledge of the sabotage to which the miners have resorted and the unprecedented wages that they are receiving, is reported to be ready to grant it. It is fine for the coal operators and the coal miners but deadly on the coal users and the country’s war-pressed industries. A continuation of this destructive policy will force the Government to use a stronger hand. = = * — ST. LOUIS COUNTY HOME CONDITIONS. As to any question of relative efficiency in law enforcement among the officials of St. County, the people have a tolerably clear idea, of the facts. Results cannot be minimized by charges of political incentives. The Excise Com- missioner took the lead in measures against gambling hell nuisances and law-defying rum sellers and in organizing for their restraint. If officials others than those who have co-operated with the Commissioner have been vigilant and energetic in the movement to make St. Louis County a better place to live in, it has not come to public knowledge. The indictments against 11 keepers of resorts y no means represent all that has been ac- complished. The mere announcement of an im- partial purpose to invoke the law has caused the suppression of many resort abuses. At the same time it may be suspected that a grand jury which should do its duty with the thoroughness. of the grand jury which lately investigated lawlessness in East St. Louis could discover facts on which many more than 11 indictments might be based. = = * a ae OCONSTITUTION-MAKING IN WARTIME. After the labor and expense of obtaining an or- der from the State Assembly for a convention to draft a new State Constitution and the holding of an election for delegates, Arkansas finds new hurdles in her path. Several well meaning delegates suggested that during this time of war and stress, local prob- lems were not likely to obtain the full and com- plete hearing they should have and that it would be a good idea to delay the drafting of a Con- stitution until after peace. It was suggested that the delegates be polled.

The question put to the delegates was whether or not the convention | should meet, organize and then adjourn for a year. Almost half of the 114 delegates approved of this plan. Thirteen advised going ahead with the job. Eleven were unable to make up their minds and 33 did not answer. Altogether, it would ap- pear that the delegates do not appreciate the task before them. The special reasons for wanting a new Con- situation are: That the present basic law pro- hibits cities from issuing bonds; that State offices are limited to a two-year term and to a salary of $4000 a year and that the referendum section is ‘faulty. There are many minor defects, due to the age of the present Constitution. = = * „ AMERICA AND ITALY IN THE AR. Lieut. Baldioli’s scout plane made 330 2 Monday in 175 minutes. Lieut. Besanti covered | the same distance with his second-size Caproni in 265 minutes. To make nearly the same trip | from New York to Old Point ordinary trains take twelve hours, and ocean steamships eighteen and more, Planes even faster than Baldioli’s are in action, but they are for machine gun fighting purely, are very small and cannot ordinarily fly at night. Baldioli’s carries 390 pounds of bombs at an ex- treme speed of two miles in a minute. The smaller Caproni of Monday’s flight bore a pilot, | two mechanicians and six passengers. She could | transport from half a ton to a ton of bombs, ac- cording to distance; the largest Caproni two or three tons. : From points behind the American front in France a return distance of 300 miles would bring within the range of air action almost every ammunition dump, railway junction, bridge, fac- tory and camp in occupied France and Belgium, and many in Germany. Bombs rivaling in ex- Plosive force the giant shells that wrecked the forts of Liege may be whisked through the air at eighty miles an hour, and smaller ones at much higher speed. The surface of land and sea are strewn with fighting men; they have dived and burrowed be- neith the surface in submarines and bomb prooofs. The air is conquered; it is not yet fully occu- pied. Conviction grows that the way to end the slaughter of nations is to occupy the air and blow German militarism out of its dug-outs. To that end, Italy is doing her splendid share and the United States 1s eagerly preparing. | — 181 >> AI Cc 4 ) | bed C) 7 | » c MR. ANTWINE ON THE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN. (0 HAVE had for some time an impression that “I the war on the Italian front was really more of a mountain-scaling contest than anything „Mr. Antwine said. ‘ . * news from Italy now confirms that impres- sion. What is war on the western front is something entirely different from what is war on any other bat- tleground. There the Germans have met more than their match; but that, alas, is not the case in Russia, in Italy or in the Balkans. On those fronts the con- quests of the Germans are easy. It is merely a mat- ter of getting around to them. Knowing this, let us not make the mistake of believing that the war is to be decided some place other than on the western front. It is there the allies are making their stand. It is there they are pouring in men and supplies. It is there our blow is to be delivered. There, too, the Germans must finally measure themselves with the foe—and there they will lose. This is not a mountain-scaling contest, nor is it a competition, as we are sometimes induced to believe by the spectacle on the Russian front, to see who can cover the greatest mileage. It is something aside from all these—a measuring of the best on the fields of Flanders.“ ° * = = ‘THE PAST. NLY a flicker of candle light * a dark, high ceilinged room.

An airplane is nothing more than a large kite, the thrust of he pro- peller taking the place of the pull of the kite string. An airplane is sup- ported in the air, however, by its motion through the air rather than by the motion of the wind past the machine stationary. The basic principles of the flying machine can be learned from an or- dinary blotter, as shown in SHEET 1, Learning From a Blotter. In FIG 1 is shown a blotter with lines drawn crosswise from the cor- ners. These intersect at the center of the blotter. This point is also the center of weight as may be proved by balancing the blotter on the point of a pencil at this point. If the blotter is held in the air horizontally, and dropped as indicat- ed by the arrows at the corner of the blotter, the blotter will fall straight down without upsetting. This is because the wind pressure, coming up from beneath as the blot- ter falls, has its center at the same point as the center of weight of the blotter, as shown by the arrow P. FIG. 2 shows an entirely differ- ent condition, when the blotter is dropped with a forward motion. The center of weight of the blotter is of course at the same point it was be- fore; but as the blotter moves for- ward through the air, the air presses harder toward the front edge of the blotter than at the rear, so that the center air pressure moves forward toward the leading edge. Since the weight center W is pushing down, and the wind pressure P is pressing up and forward of the weight center, the blotter will spin, as shown by the dotted lines in FIG 2. Thus, the blotter in this form will not fly be- cause the center of wind pressure does not coincide with the center of weight.

W. B. Stout, Chief Engineer of the Aircraft Division of the Packard Car Company, has written a book, “Ac- quiring Wings,” published by Moffat, Yard & Co., N. Y., in which he sets forth in simple terms the explanation of the theories on which the airplane is constructed and how it conquers the air. The original draft of the volume was given in type-written form with blue print illustrations for use of a small corps of men who were sent abroad by the Government to study aircraft pro It presented the matter in such concrete shape that the demand for copies resulted in a redraft of the material in concise volume, making | it available for the layman as well as the great body of American men who are taking up the study of aviation. | The author thus submits the explanation of “ac. | SAW SHEET 2.—How to construct so that one may I flying principles by actual experience and at no expense.

We have now made the center of weight coincide with the center of wind pressure, and if we drop the blotter, with the weighted edge in front—and with the blotter creased a little as shown by the dotted line to give it a slight stabilizing “dihedral” angle instead of whirling over—it will take a di- rect line of flight, and if not too heavily weighted, fly clear across the room. Thus, we have made a very inef- ficient toy glider; but have discov- ered from it that the secret of flight is to get the center of pressure at the center of gravity, or, as an en- gineer would state, to get the C. P. at the C. G. A Toy for Practice. | N the blotter glider we took the most inefficient way of get- ting flight by adding useless weight to the machine. A better way would be instead of making the center of gravity come forward to meet the center of pressure, to add more sup- porting surface at the rear to make the center of pressure go back to the center of weight. This can be done by gluing a little strip of bamboo in the V of a bent paper wing, this bamboo being about two-thirds as long as the wing. At the outer end of this stick, a small wing surface is added as a balancing plane. A model so made is shown in sheet 2. The surface of the front plane can be very small compared to the big one, and yet do its work. By using a small sliver of bamboo, little gliders of this type only a few inches long can be made with ordinary writing paper, and which will give successful short flights. These small models fly tail first much more successfully thun with the large surface leading, on account of the. difficulty of obtaln- ing rudder action. An airplane only differs from a glider in that it substitutes motor power for gravity, and if you imag- ine the glider of Fig. 3 with a small engine in the place of the paper clip, turning a propeller to draw the glider through the air at the speed at which it would fall as a glider—or in other words at its sustaining speed—you will have the whole idea of what an airplane is. Wing Theories. HEET 3 shows the general theory of an airplane wing. The up- per drawing shows a weight-lifting wing of somewhat usual deep sec- tion, moving forward in the line of the arrow along the line of flight,“ as marked. Dotted lines show the action of the air currents, and you can see at once that the greatest air disturbance is above the wing rather than below it. Ordinarily, the deep- est curve in a wing comes about one- third of the way back from the lead- ing edge, and this point is generally pretty close to the center of press- ure of that wing. Following the dot- ted lines beneath the wing, one can see how the air striking the lower surface of the wing is gradually di- verged downward. At this point the ‘air is under pressure, pushing up against the under surface of the wing. Over the upper surface, how- ever, the opposite action is taking place, and the air stream acting over the front edge creates a negative pressure or partial vacuum above the upper wing surface, and it is this very largely, which gives a plane its lift. The dotted lines show the eddies in the current which repre- sent the partial vacuum area. It will be seen that the higher speed the plane is put to, the greater will be the pressure belonw the wing and also the vacuum above, so that after the vertical pressure on the wing equals the weight of the ma- chine, any further pressure on ac- count of higher speed would tend to flatten out the angle at which the wing is flying, making it take on a more horizontal flight, until at high speed the wing has an attitude some- Lewis in bed made some frantic motions with his hands and dived under the clothes. “Come on, Mary.“ said Hunter.

He has prob- ably sobered up ky this time.” The Gregories were out. The next stop was the Simpsons’ place. “Tf these people are home,” threat- ened Hunter, “I am going to get sick and get out quick. They are un- doubtedly the greatest pests in the world.” “For once,” sald Mary, “T agree with you.“ The Simpsons’ place looked desert- ed. Hunter and his wife walked into the apartment house corridor, rang the bell and waited with fast-beating hearts for fear that the door might open. | | “Thank God,” said Hunter as they passed out of the door, “we didn’t have to chew the rag with those pests.” A curtain on the Simpson sun par- lor rattled viciously and closed over a partly opened window. “Good night,” gasped Hunter, “they're home and they heard us.” „I don't care if they did.“ returned Mrs. Hunter. Nettie Simpson gives me a pain, anyhow. She's so stuck up. I'll never miss them.” “Have you had enough,” asked Hunter, “or would you like to take a few more chances?” „Let's finish it,” replied Mra. Hun- ter doggedly, “now that we've start- ed it.“ The next three families were out. “Pretty good,” said Hunter. “That only leaves one more place to go, your aunt's.“ Miss Semple, the old maid aunt of Mrs. Hunter was in the sun parlor knitting. “Well, well,“ she greeted the visit- ors; “it’s a wonder you found where I lived. Nobody ever bothers to call cn me.” “My dear Aunt Serah”"—— began Mrs. Hunter. 8 “Don’t dear me,“ snapped the old lady; “nobody comes to see me un- less they want something. What do you want?” “T don’t want anything,” gasped Mrs. Hunter. “I thought you might like to see the baby, your nephew.” “I don't care anything about ba- bies, especially boy babies. They al- ways cry. Hm, it doesn’t look much like a Semple; low forehead, small shifty eyes. Must take after your husband's folks. The Semples are good looking even if they haven't much sense.“ This was the first time that Hunter had run into the peevish aunt and he was stunned. “Good-by, Aunt Sarah,“ said Mary after what seemed an eternity. “Come see us some time.“ “Why should I?” snapped the vir- ego. “Nobody wants me to call.” “Good heavens,” gasped Hunter out in the open, what's the matter with her?” “Oh, she’s just a little peculiar.” “A little, eh? I must say we've had a good time calling on your friends today.“ „What's the matter with yours?” “Mine,” returned Hunter, “have the good sense to be out on Sunday afternoons.” Next Week—“A Theater Party.” — — ASTORIA For Infants and Children .

This is not as unreasonable as it sounds, for there stom of certain hot springs which is excellent for blotting purposes. The stone is a sediment that has formed in the bottom of the springs, and may be had in inexhaustible quantities. It is highly absorbent, though not soft in the ordinary meaning of the word. When placed on a sheet of paper that has been freshly written upon it will absorb the surplus ink more quickly and satisfactorily than the usual blotter. The scarcity of all kinds of paper caused by the war and the growing demand for varieties more important than blotting paper make it proba- ble that we may be buying a yard of stone before long to use as a blotting pad. When one side becomes heav- ily inked it can be cut off with a knife and the remainder of the stone used again. ö thing like that shown in the second view, sheet 3. Here there is a tre- mendous resistance and loss build- ing up at the front edge of the wing on the upper side, and any increase in speed by adding horsepower to the plane will merely bank up more air in front of the wing at this point and create greater instability so that we see at once that the shape of a wing, rather than the horsepower of a plan, is the great determining fac- tor in airplane speed. Wing Range. OR heavy lifting at steep angles of attack, a deeply curved wing, as shown, is an advan- tage, but when speed is desired a wing of this deep curvature is of smal] use. High speed wing curves must be flatter and have less resistance at small angles. On the other hand, these speed curves lack lifting power at steep angles, and hence lack slow speed performance. A little study of how these wing curves act will show you why alr- planes today must be designed for specific uses. With a fixed wing curve, if one de- signs for high speed, he must sac- rifice great lift per square foot, and if he designs for extreme lift, he must sacrifice high speed. On the other hand, if one designa a machine to fly at high speeds it cannot land at slow speeds, and if one designs for the safety of slow speed landing and getting off the ground, you will have a plane which is not capable of extremely high speed. This was especially true in the early stages of airplane develop- ment. The early Wright machine, for instance, got off the ground between 35 and 40 miles per hour and flew to a maximum of 50, having practically no speed range. Wonder was that they flew at all, although today it is doubtful if there is any machine more efficient from a strictly me chanical sense and for small horse- power than was the Wright layout. The danger of small speed range was soon found out, for when f. @ gust of wind might strike the ma- chine from the rear while it was fly- ing and if this wind-gust was of greater speed increase than the fly- ing range of the plane, then the aviator was in what was called an “air pocket,” for all support tempor- arily would be taken out from under the wings, and the pilot would have to drop for some distance, acquir- ing forward speed before he got to going fast enough to support himself again. It is rare that a wind gust appears ‘with over a 20 miles an hour in- crease in air speed, so that if any plane today has a speed range of 20 miles per hour—say from 40 to 60 or 60 to 80-——this plane is practically free from the effect of this type of “air pocket.” The chief aim of designers today then, is to accomplish speed range 80 that a machine can get off the ground and land at the safest pos- sible speeds, and yet accomplish in the air maximum speed also. By using a wing curve of low lift per square foot and increasing the wing spread to take care of the total weight to be carried, rumors are afloat that the allies have produced a machine with a speed range of from 60 to 150 miles per hour. Eventually, by the use of a wing curve which is variable in the alr, we will be able to have heavy lift curves for getting off the ground and landing and to flatten out these curves for speed work after we get in the air. When some one invents a variable- camber wing which will be infallible in its working and of absolute sim- plicity for safety, the airplane will immediately enter a new field of ac- tivity. Other views of Sheet 3 show dif- ferent wing curves, a modern speed aerofoll, a ‘heavier lift reverse curve, which gives a large degree of hori- zontal stability by its own shape, and a new double-convex aerofoil which has been used for control surfaces, but which offers promise for exces- sively high speed airplanes. 4 „He's indifferent to suffering.“ Not to his own, I'll bet.“ — Judge. — — Best for. Light - THE SANDMAN STORY FOR TONIGHT BY MRS. v. A. WALKER. : The Disobedient Toys. 33 er Was ready to do just the thing her mother wished her to do. If she was told to sit down and read and be quiet for a little while she wanted just at that minuto more than ever before to make a noise and roll rer toys across the floor. | One morning Betty came down to breakfast with a frown on her face. “I don’t want that toast with but- ter on it,” she said. “I want it with milk.“ “Very well, I will pour milk over it,” said her mother. “I have some hot milk right here on the table.” “I don't want it that way. I want cook to heat it and put it in a deep dish,” said Betty, sliding down in her chair and looking very cross. “I think you better send this little girl upstairs and let her find our Betty,” said her father. “This cross girl is not our little girl, although she has on our little girl’s clothes.” Betty looked in surprise at her father, but he did not look at her again and her mother took her by the hand and led her upstairs. “T'll bring you your breakfast,” said her mother, “and you can star here until you find our little Betty.” Betty ate her breakfast, feeling very cross. [I'll wait until mother woes out and then I'll go up to the playroom,” thought Betty. So she lay down on the bed and listened for the front door to close. It seemed a long time to Betty, but at last she heard the bang of the front door and up she jumped from the bed. She opened the door very softly and looked out. It was so still in the hall that Betty felt queer, but she tiptoed along until she came to the stairs. “Better not, better not,” Betty heard close beside her. Betty looked up and saw she was right beside the tall clock on the stairs. “Better not, better not,” it said. “You keep still. I shall go up- stairs if I want to,” said Betty. “I never heard you talk before.” *Better not, better not,” was all the clock replied, so Betty put her fingers in her ears and ran upstairs. She opened the door of the play- room and went in, but to her surprise the toys were all running about and The big doll that was Betty's fa- vorite was standing on one foot on the top of her J harnessed te and all the paper dolls began and rustle about. “Now, I will not have guch bed toys,” said Betty. “You all step at once and be quiet.” We don’t want to be quiet,” erled all the toys at once, “we want to play: you never do what your mother wants you to do, so why should we mind you?” “But I am sorry,” said Betty. “I am going to be good. I never knew how naughty I was until now.“ “We will wait and see,” said the toys. “If you are good we will be.” Bang went the door somewhere and Betty jumped. She was sitting on the side of her bed. She knew she had been asleep and dreaming and that the bang she heard at first must have been her father going out This time she knew it must be her mother. Betty ran to the window and knocked on the pane. Her mother looked up and Betty threw her a kiss and smiled at her. Her mother saw her and came back and in a minute more the door of Betty’s room opened and her mother came in. “Oh, my good little daughter is here,” said her mother. “I am glad she is found.” “Oh, mother, I am so sorry I was cross,” said Betty, putting her arms about her mother’s neck. “I am go- ing to be a good girl and never be naughty again. “YT dreamed all my toys were naughty, mother, and they said they wanted t odo all the things I did and I felt so unhappy because they would not mind and be good.” „That is the way I feel, dear, when you are cross,” said her mother. “I love you so much that I cannot bear to have the cross little girl take your place.” “Please forgive me, mother dear,” said Betty. “I will try ever so hard not to be cross again.” When Betty felt cross after that and did not want to mind she thought of her toys and how un- happy she was when they did not mind her that day in her dream, and — 8 8 Wu cannot buy gas mantles by their looks.

If the war is to last another year, the condition will grow worse, with the withdrawal of more yourg men for military service. The New Republic, in commenting on the situation, believes that the best solution can be found only in making 4 scientific survey of the labor field with a view of adapting women sap bilities to all industrial potentialities. cited to show what can be done: “Before the war the industrial employment of women was at least as general in England, France and Germany as it is in the United States today. Under the necessity of war, those countries have found it pos- sible greatly to increase the number of women in industry. The women recruits to industry have not indeed filled the places of the men called to the colors. Total output has suf- fered decidedly, especially in the ex- port industries. But it is not too much to say that it was this addi- tional employment of women that saved the allied cause and enabled England and France to place the Germans on the defensive. “It is now incumbent upon us 0 see how far we can substitute the labor of women for that of men. Be- fore the war it would doubtless have been urged that the private interest of employers had already introduced women’s labor wherever this would pay. We have now learned that mere inertia is an important deter- minant of industrial arrangements. The British Government is employ- ing women where it formerly em- ployed only men, and with results that are satisfactory from a financial point of view, as well as from the more essential point of view of econ- omy of national resources. „At the Woolwich arsenal, for ex- ample, only 125 out of the 10,866 persons employed in August, 1914, were women. According to the latest available reports, 25,000 out of 73,- 500 now employed are women. Wom- en make up over 60 per cent of the personnel of the department of de- sign and inspection. In private in- dustry women have found their way into numberless employments for- merly monopolized by men. In this movement toward the employment of women the private interest of the employer has been reinforced by pa- trtotic considerations. Doubtless in many instances women are employed where it would be more profitable to employ men, even at scarcity wages. But in time of war such a consideration is of no determining importance. “What we especially need is a thorough survey of our industries with a view to determining for each the possfbility of substituting wom- en’s labor for that. of men. The The lesson learned in England is an industry; and the industry in question was one that did not prom- ise well. “Suppose, however, that such a survey had been effected, and exten- sive opportunities for the employ- ment of women discovered, how should we find the new supply of women's labor? May it not be taken for granted that practically all, tho women are now employed who find themselves under the necessity of seeking remunerative employment? What is necessary is to enlist the services of that very large body ot women who would not be attracted to industry under normal conditions, but who are eager to do their share toward American victory. “It goes without saying that any attempt to increase the proportion of women in industry could be success- ful. only if it were part of a thor- oughly worked out scheme of labor distribution. If a certain numberof men can be released from an indus- try by the substitution of women, this would be desirable, provided en's work that no suspicion iteering could attach to the of 0 a prof “It also goes without saying that by be labor itself, as represented trade unions, would have to listed to the support of the p this would mean that the ment would have to safeguard the interests of the skilled trades. The British Government has secure the consent of a far more self- conscious body of skilled trades than our own to a “dilution” of skilled labor by unskilled. Our Government ought to be able to attain to similar agreements with organized labor. “If we are to meet the industria requirements that are sure. to be laid upon us we cannot escape the necessity of drawing in some such manner upon our only considerable labor reserve. The social and po- litical problems involved are serious There are serious technical problems involved also. Much of the available labor is not trained, and how shal! our industry, strained to its utmost capacity, find energies for the work of training new hands? Where the skill required is considerable, a com- prehensive labor program would the en- and 8 make public provision for it. The British have broken in hundreds of thousands of new women .workers many of them to employments re- quiring a high degree of skill: We T is part of a polite education in Japan to understand the art of knot tying. In that land knots take the place of buttons, hooks and eyes, buckles and other devices of civilization for fastening the compli- cated clothing of today. The Jap- anese depend upon cords and knots instead, which is an equally satisfac- tory way and permits of more artis- tic effects. But the knot hag much greater sig- nificance in Japan. In fact, each knot has some special meaning, many of which go back to the time when history began. This also is true of the ancient Chinese and Peruvian races, which wrote their earliest his- tory in a series of knots. This was based upon the same principle as she quickly drove away the cross thought by minding her mother, while the old clock on the stairs ticked: “Better now, better now,’ and Betty knew what the clock meant.

It was simply a question of adopting a certain kind of knot as the image of a particular thing. And all languages, written and spoken, are merely a col- lection of images. A Japanese sending a holiday gift to a friend knots the cord in a certain way, signifying well wishes, afféc- tion. A funeral wreath would be tied with another kind of. knot, meaning sorrow, sympathy. And every step between the two cases illustrated would require a particular sort of knot. So the study of this quaint art is by no means so easy as it ems.
