ONE-PIECE STEEL SHIPS. Once mor, her it something new in j-hipbujlding W hay become accustomed to the miracle of "mono
lithic" .hin inr concrete rme into ui as a sub
stitute (or wood and .teel. Now we have what might be cHd. after the ame high-brow word-pattern?, a "monochalyhlc" hip in plain English, a essel consisting of a. ingle plate of steel. The hip 1 not made of cast steel, by the "pouring" process, but made of steel plates an usual, except that the plate instead of being riveted together are fubed edge to edge, by the electric welding process. The first ship ever built in this way has just been launched in England. The United estates shipping board, it is said, intends to use the process experimentally on jeveral standard 10,000 ton ships. If there is a paving of 20 to 2 percent in time and material, an reported. the
process may FOon be used on a big scale.
Thus science adds one more link to the new chain of tea-power we are forging for the kaiser's undoing and the world s freedom.

FARMERETTES' FEET. "Watch your feet!" a woman expert advices jfirls taking up farm work, and adds: "The most important part of a farmerette's uniform is her hofs. thuush you never hear th,em dl;cue(1. Don't ignore footgear. You have to have a good ipinal column to keep up with a ?ood jo. The condition of the spinal colurrn depend greatly upon the feet. Wear comfortable shoe, which don throw your body cut of balance. le picturerrjue if you wish, but be eeneible." This means shoe long enough and wide enough to pive the fee' plenty of room. It means olej strong enough o that a pebble cannot be felt through the bottom, and tight enough that moisture will not soak through. It means uppers rfbitstant nough not to be torn by briars. It means most of all, a broad, low heel. 'Trench heels." it hardly seems necessary to say, are not worn by French girls doin? any kind of physical work. Unelish women engaging in war labor have adopted "a stout, unlovely boot" which suits the purpose admirably. American women must do likewise, if they want to do the arduous work they are undertaking nd at the same time preserve thtir health and the health of thr race. This advioe applies to women in the city almoet as much as women in the country. There is neither sense nor utility nor health nor patriotism in most of the women's shoes een on the street. Civilians' feet, especially women'g, are as important as soldiers' feet. It is time to ptit shoes on a war bais.

PASSING ON PRICE BOOSTS. The new principle that w have been recommending In price-fixing has been introduced by the fuel administration, not because we recommended it but because the jubtice of the proposition is so apparent. In conanting to a rise of half a cent a gallon In the wholetale price of gasoline and kero&ene, to meet increased freight rates, ii hat specified that the advance In tho jetnil price must be no greater than that. The ffe n era 4 practice, as the public know? only too well, is to Increase. a price raise at every step as it is passed alonjf. Generally a wholesale jump Is doubled in th? retail trade. A rnt added by the manufacturer may become three or four cents by .the time it reaches the consumer. It ia too much to hope that this practice, so largely unwarranted, will be abolished all at once, but the prebent ru'.ini? wets a. good precedent. It explains. a we have said previously, rauch of our present high prices. . A slight boo?t beyond the increase paid by a dealer himself may he justified in many cases, because of the increased investment made necessary; but everybody knows that The boost generally made for thie purpo."o is out of all proportion, and an unwarranted imposition en the man who pays the bill.
TROUSERS OR KNICKERS? The tailors are scheming to make u wear short breeches ayain or in more elegant sartorial terminology, knickerbockei The question was solemnly discussed at a recent convention of the International Custom Cutters' afcsociatior:. The cutters ergue that if men wore knickers instead of tuii length trousers, thousands of yards of cloth would be evved, the price of clothing would be reduced, and everybody could afford to buy a new suit oftener. All this may be true. But how abuv the woolen hose or leggings or puttees necessary t) cover the rest of men's nether extremities? Would there really he any saving in material, or in cost? And would there be any rial rain in convenience and utility? We hae often been assured that breeches of the golf or bicycle or military tyre are more comfortable and useful for nearly every purpose: but if so. hew are we to account for the fact that een now Great Britain. France and Italy Hie planning to put their armies iv, long trousers? It is a very difficult problem Masculine brains seem inadequate to grappie with it. Maybe feminine brains can solve :, now that women in their war activities are trying e ery ort of garb. What shall it be knickers, bloomers, troupers or skirts?
"GOOD ENOUGH FOR SOLDIERS." In a certain town where troop trains frequently pass through, carrying men to rhe seaboard enroute to France, the ladies living near the railroad hae a pleasant custom of grabbing up anything good to eat or drink that happens to be In sight when a train stops, and passing it around amcn the boys. Needless to say, they always meet with an enthusiastic reception, and the soldiers' appreciation wheu their generosity. The other day one of these good ladies, in gathering
up her usuil armful of pies and cookies, happened to in- j elude a hex of cipars belonging to her husband. They I were a specially f.ne brand, bought for a party. When i
the owner discovered what had happened, he was much annoyed. "Those smokes coat a lot of money," he complained. "You could just as well have bought cheaper cigars to rie away to soldiere." "You and your friends can smoke, the cheap cigars yourseHcs:' retorted his wife. She va.-: right about it, too. Nothing is too good for American soldier.
Other Editors Than Ours
"bTKAPPEI TO TIIC GINS" (Fort Wayne Journal-(iaottc.) When the American troops, Fred ijims's "broom fctick soldiers," took Epieds the other day, they found the German soldiers strapped to the machine guns. Why? It would not have been necessary to strap Americans to the guns; nor Frenchmen; nor Britishers. Had any of these been told as the German soldiers were that Epieds had to be held at all costs they would have stayed with the guns until the last man fell fighting at his post. Are the German soldiers less brave? They certainly are inferior, infinitely inferior to the American soldier, but we hesitate to deny them physical bravery. Does it mean then that the German war lords are no longer able to depend upon their men? That the German army is growing weary of the hopeless sacrifice? That after all there may be some reason In discriminating somewhat between the Germin people and tho German government? The men strapped to the guns were annihilated by the Americans. They didn't have a chance for their lives. Their officers saw to that. And it is precisely that spirit on the part of the military autocracy that made German militarism so hateful to the thousands who left Germany to make their homes in America. Had they not left, many of these might have been amonjj those strapped to the guns. The sons of these now with the American army will not be strapped to the guns. That is not the American way.
YAXKKE 'SVAXK.M (Indianapolis Times.) That least, communicative of all informants, the English dictionary, says that "swank" is a word of iscots origin, meaning "an active, alert young fellow." And our British cousins, yearning bashfully toward us in a late confessed emotion of family pride, do love to tell of "Yankee swank." What they mean ia "cheek," of course grim, trim and grinning Cantigny cheek; no less. Marne-mauling cheek, the which Fritzie does not care to kiss either on the right or the left, but which he would admire to mightily smite on both if he could 159 to 1 and get away with it. Well then, we plead guilty to being some swanky in both the dictionary and the later definitions, though we do not like the sound of that word in the roof of our nose; it grates; but let that go. If we've got to be swanky to be Yanky. we'd a whole heap rather be swanky than not Yanky, and by heck, swank rhymes with bank (that's US) and crank (which we thought Cousin John used to be) and frank (we were with William but he wouldn't believe us) and flank (ask that crown prince i and prank and spank an-1 rank and thank. And Sank, and Y'ank: Let it stand.
POPULARIZING PORK. Herbert C. Hoover has gone to Europe, as he told a friend before he sailed, "to be the greatest pork salesman in the history of the world." He explained that he was undertaking to "convert F.ngriand. France and Italy ro an appetite for pork." Laft year he called on the farmers of America to raise hopa. They responded o patriotically that the porcine population suffices for our oeeds and proides a bis surplus for expert. Fork is now more plentiful than oeef.
KEMKMUKR THESE, ALSO. (C 111 caff o I IcraJd-Examiner.) It was just a tiny paragraph in the story which told of Germany's shame in bombarding a hospital behind the lines in France. "Among those who felt the full force of the attack," it read, "were the sisters nursing the sick. They stayed bravely at their posts. Several were either killed or wounded." Rarely do the.e brave souls find their way into the public prints. Their lifelong work of mercy is taken for granted. It is ltss spectacular than, that of the secular organizations and their workers. Yet it appeals, even more mightily than that of the othern, to the human imagination. Theirs is not only a patriotic impulse that drives them
to their present work Theirs is a lifelong vocation, i i
lifelong consecration to the work of bringing surcease and comfort wherever there is misery and suffering. On all the fronts in Flanders, in northern France, in Italy there are hosts of these noble women who hav pledged all of their lives to the work of mitigating the harsh fortunes of life. Although we hear of them so rarely, we may yet be sure that they are there at the post of duty; doing whatever comes to their hands to do. and doing it eer with the beautiful inner approval that they are performing God's work, to which they have offered their life's strength.

f fl IfUiTl 1 v a l I vi 4 1 , -r MT it r Vlli'iUri kir CIIUl UiV'UC J scope and variety of the purchases The fact, however. ! is no mitigation of the offense that occur. The disco ery that several New York manufacturers hae been sell- j
ing the army rotten rain coats arouses all the greater t
indignation because their conduct Is in such glaring
beef appetite When they don't want beef they want lamb or mutton. Pork nils a m.nor role in their dietary. Mr. Hoover means to change that. There src good reasons for it be:de this temporary plethora Pork is more q-ickly and e.s'.v produced than reef, and more convenient to transport. It "keejs ' better. It is more nourishing, pound for pound. Mr. Hooer will do the Europeans a favor by persuading thern to eat moje rf it. lncidnt:liy. he w:!l he providing a r-elter market for th- American producer, and in.ijrin him a liberal profit.
It happens that our European friend hae mostly a contrast with tht of the big majority of firms with
which the government ts dealing. Tt might be supposed that now, of all times, .-i nusi-
r.ess man would be impelled by patriotism to up press j
any ord.nary penchant for double-dealing. There is no more contemptible dishonesty than cheating the soldier who are fighting their country's battles. It :s literally those soldiers, rather than an impersonal government, that the crooked manufacturers are cheating, and they are doing it in s matter that may mean life or death to the victims of their cupidity. Any f.ne imposed would be too light for a crook caught furnishing rotten food or clothing to the armv Almost anv terms of imprisonment would be too easy.

Christ' Socond Coming. Editor The News-Times. There "appeared in your . newty paper on July 10 an article stating Evangelist Johnson predicted "the end of the world .and coming of Christ," further stating th end of the world is near will come in the present generation." The greatest mist-ike of chu-ches making this claim is the eettlng of time, often giving dates in face of the fact the Master himself when asked as to the time made reply (Matt. C4:3i) that the time was known to the Father only. That Jesus will come again in the near future to reestablish the kingdom of God is unquestionable. That the kingdom ruled over by the Judean kings from David to Zedekiah wa God's kingdom and that they ruled for hlni is plainly stated and I mention a few citations: 1 Sam. 12:12, 1 Ch- n. 29:23. 2 Chron 9:8, and 13:8, which kingdom for the wickedness of the various king culminating in Zedekiah. was overthrow! (Ezek. 21:26-27) as God there states (through the prophet) "until he comes whose right it is and I will give it him." Now every Sunday bchool pupil knows that Jesus was born to be king of the Jews and the angel Gabriel instructed his mother Mary that she should hear this son and instructed her that God would give him David's throne over Israel and he should be king forever. (Luke 1:31-33). As I stated before the time of its takiner place is known only to God. The filling stars of 1833 and dark day of 1 T SO have nothing to do with
it ae the dark day was but local, j extending only over the New Eng- j land states. Also other dark days j of like kind have been known In i various parts of the world. The I falling stnrs were only a meteoric i display and every one who will work his gray matter a little knows that every star that ever shone in the Zodiac still graces it particular part of the heavens. When j this war closes and the Israelitish ; nation (which is Clod's fig tree or j sign nation) is re-established in' Palestine, their home land. with their flocks and herds and wealth and become a nation again, then will come persecutions from the king of the north who will come to take a spoil from them and persecute them. These are the days of "Jacob's trouble." which will culminate in the final battle of Armageddon which is staged for the valley of Jehoshophat and when his people i about to be overthrown in the greatest of all battles and while the battle is raging "the Lord shall go forth and fighr against those nations as he fought in the day of battle." See Zech. 14. The falling of stars wil! he from the political heavens and the dark day cr day. will not be in a little corner of the earth but will be universal especially to those who have not made their calling and election sure with the Lord. The generation that see the beginning of thee sien will ee their close for God's word is ure.

VOU SITOFLD HI THE IJOS OF YOFKSELF. It is a mistake for you to allow yourself to think that because, apparently, your boss has not noticed your superior efforts', and your services do not command more wages than those less conscientious and energetic, it is foolish for you to continue to give the frort of service you do. As soon as you practice lazy, slipshod methods you lose out with yourkelf. You yourself are the boss whom you should etrive to please. Don't go backward, man, for that is what you would be doing by such procedure. That sort of spirit lessen your pride. That sort of spirit weakens your energy. That sort of spirit dulls your initiative. Forset you are working for the other man, and go ahead full steam at your very best. But don't bpoil yourself by falling down on your job. Don't class yourself with the blockheads.
