ON THESE MEN DEPENDS, ALMOST ENTIRELY, THE FUTURE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR IN AMERICA

Safety First" Miscarries in Japan; People Think No Harm is Possible

TOKIO, Sept. 6 Tokio had her first Safety week "No Accident Week," was called but obviously something went wrong with It. Reports show that the number of accidents was greater than in the corresponding week of last year. The Yamato, a

leading Tokio paper, thinks It knows how this come out. The idea of the thing, says this paper, entirely miscarried with the bulk of the people, who took the Safety First emblem a green cross to be a sacred alisman of the gods which would protect them from accidents, no matter what they did. The paper cites one instance of a man being restrained from jumping from a car and replying that nobody need worry about him so long as he wore that badge. One accident was caused by a motor

car containing officials who were overseeing the Safety First operations in--various parts of the city. The officisijrdrove into the forbidden, crowded part of Asakusa park at considerable speed.

URUGUAY 8TOP8 CORN AND FLOUR EXPORT8 WASHINGTON. Sept. 6. A bill to prohibit the export of corn and flour and to fix maximum prices in order to combat speculation has been decided on by the Department of Commercial Statistics, Uruguay.

Left to right, top row: Daniel J. Tobin. treasurer of the A. F. of L.; Samuel Gompers, president; Frank Morrison-secretary; Matthew Woll. vice president. Back rowt T. A. Kicker, Frank Duffy, -James Duncan. Joseph H-Valentine, all vice presidents.

On these men depends, almost entirely, the future of the relatione between capital and labor in America. They comprise the executive covncil of the American Federation of Labor, and they have been holding lone meetings in

threshing out the numerous questions arising out of the dawn of the new era in the status of the American working man. Wages, working hours, increased production and a greater share in the operation of industries all these ..are .being ..discussed exhaustively

by this council, which has been meeting daily. Such was the acuteneas of the situation in the United States that President Gompers cut short his visit in Europe in order that he might come home to help iron out the voluminous problems.

ENGLISH GIRL'S CHANGES OF MARRIAGE ARE ONLY 1 OF 2; YOUNG MEN KILLED

The odds are something like 2 to 1 against a woman, however coy or however willing, winning a husband in England. Of course, women are as charming and as much sought in marriage as always. But the melancholy fact is that there are not enough men to go around. These odd3 are based on the latest official figures available, the report of the register general of England for 1917, just published. Carefully compiled, the report states that there are between the ages of 15 and 40, 9,542,655 women and only 4,492,827 men. It should be emphasized that these figures apply to the civilian population. The register general estimates that there are in England 19 females to 14 males, the figures being 19,625,000 and 14J85.300. Eligible maidens will grieve to learn from the report that bachelors are becoming oblivious to "those endearing young charms," and are marrying widows, some of whom, however, are youthful. The proportion of bachelor-

to-spinster marriages shows a sharp decline. "It looks as if the increase in the

marriages of widows is not wholly due

to the war," says the registrar-general, "and as if the increased tendency to remarriage shown by widows before the war has now extended to widowers. An appreciable increase in the number of widowers marrying has occurred since 1913." "One curious fact," the registrargeneral says, "is that between the ages of 15 and 45, the ratios of male to female deaths have risen so greatly that they are now wholly abnormal, the mortality of male" being more

than double that of females. The death figures are those of civilians only." The open season for marriages has changed. Most marriages used to be celebrated or solemnized, as you please in July, August and September. The favorite months now are October, November, and December. About half the divorced people marry again. The youngest bachelor to marry was 15, and the youngest spinster 14. No fewer than 29 males married at the age of 16 and 389 at the age of 17, two of the latter marrying widows. Twenty-six spinsters married at the age of 15, one of them to a widower; 187 women were 16 when they married, and of 1201 marrying at 17 years, 15 married widows. The earliest second marriage of males was at the age of 18. Of 39 men marrying when they were turned 80, only one, aged 81, had never tasted the joys of matrimonial bliss, the rest being widowers; but out of nine women marrying beyond that age two were spinsters. The oldest man to be married was a widower of 92, and the two oldest women were aged 85, one a widow and one a spinster. A girl of 15 married a man of 40; one woman of 66 married a husband aged 24. A man of 70 married a girl of 20; others, aged 68 and 66, wed with 17, and 140 couples married when they were past 70.

DAD LOWDEN, IS OLDEST DOUGHBOY 60 AND FIGHTER

FT. WORTH. Tex.. Sept. 5. -The keen-eyed youths from the United States who helped turn the tide on the western battle front were indefatigable fighters daredevils with the fire of youth. But take Dad Lowden; his sixty years became as twenty as he went tearing into action. And he saw considerable action, as his two wound btripes attest. The pals of this young old doughboy called him Dad, but the company records lifted him as Private Robert Lowden, from Albuquerque. X. M. He is a cou?in of Governor Lowden, of Illinois. Recently back from France, Dad arrived at the Camp Bowie hospital to recuperate. "Like recuperating from a vacation," is the way he sees it. for wars always did appeal to him as vacations. Was in Spanish War. Back in 1S9S he took his first "war vacation" in Uncle Sam's service, .fighting Spain; then in 1916, when the Mexican trouble developed, he enlisted and went to the Texas border. When the United States entered the ! European war Dad hurried to the recruiting station, beating out his two , sons and a eon-in-law for the privilege lot first representing the family in the j gigantio conflict. They all got in Quickly, the sons sre

still in the army and the son-in-law is serving with the naval forces abroad. None of "the boys" has been wounded, however, and that's why Dad chuckles.
