LEVEL-HEADED LABOR. Th" präsent attif.ido of the railroad union?, as inh:atc(i by htatonuntM from their represontatives, i.e a'lminibl'. A disposition oward hasty, ill-con-i'lf rod action has lo on o( rcome. The fixec'itiv ff?cors at the shop workers, the proup from whom rash actio'h was most f-arcl, have urKi them to bo content for the present, and foe how the povf-rnment's program works out. They "It is our honest .hnlnipnt that a fatal mistake would 1 made by our membori to asKrim' tho rrsponsiMlity of tying tip the railroads at this time, when the president is evidently din all possible to i educe the high cost of living." They add the very practical comment that if the sdiop workers should strike now, they would be bearing, alone, the burden and criticism resulting from a general tie-up. and fighting the battle of the whole remaining 78 percent of railroad men who have shown no disposition to strik" at this time. Innsmuch as the same treatment is being accorded all the railroad workers by the government. it is simple common sense for them to hang together, whethr they stick to their jobs. ,r strike. Th men concerned have evidently been much Impressed with this view. Thr-y are also intluenced by the fact that the four percent raise granted them is realiy larger than it looks, because it is based on 10-hour pay for an eight-hour day. If this determined effort to lower the cost of living fdiould fail, it Is understood that all the railroad men will demand higher p;ivc and w'll consider themsehes justified in striking, if need be, to get itMeanwhile, they are to be commended for their patience, patriotism and good m ne in cooperating with tne public authorities and trying to square living expenses with present wage standards instead ff resorting to the old, futile method of jacking up wages in hopeless competition with prices.

NO MORE -FLU: Authorities differ as to whether the "tluV peril is really over, but most of them seem to agree that the tpidemie has really run its course, and there is little chance of another outbreak next winter. "The nation has been pretty well immunized by the disease." says the health otficer of Cincinnati. "f course there will be Decisional instances of intluenze hereafter, the same ns we have had every year; hut I do not anticipate a recurrence of the dist-ase in epidemic form " Thus, in th mid-t of economic and political troubles, there is still some balm in (Jilead. For a long time the persistence of this virulent epidemic, Rnd its renewed outbreaks in communities already swept by it. made doctors and laymen alike despair of ever getting it stamped out. Hut all things run their course, and the dreaded flu proves to be no exception, even though it hung on more tenaciously than any other plague of recent times. With the assurance that it is rrallv conquered, the winter can be faced more cheerfully.

UNREPENTANT GERMANY. Samuel (Jompers. who arrived t few days ago in this country after a long stay in Kurope. during which time he had amp'o opportunity to study the prfsent mood of the (lermans, as well as other matters cf deep orld interest, is quite convinced there b as been no change in the H'.n disposition or determination. He said he had absolute proof that the (itrnuns are unrepentant and elomination is uppermost in their minds It is encouraging to learn from him that t-oNhevism S on th- w..n and a steadying inMuer.ee is making its appearance in the eastern Kuropean countries Russian boishevists have not full. !h-d a single promise through which they gained püwrr. and this failure is having its effect. Another corroboration of the unchanged Hun nature comes from 'h.;rie 1'. IVnnctt. the American Ited Cross agent in Switzerland, who has been spe. iking in th.s country on the threat work done by Americans in the p!ion ramps of Germany, and x ho has written bo, k on the subject. This hook, by the way. contains an illustration of the medal struck by the flerrnin 2oernmtnt to commemorate the . xpcted trnmi'hant ntrv of its armies into Park? m P. 14. Ti-...- triumphant entry did not take place, owing to ::nfi'!'t . en c:rt umstances. but the rue-da I w. prepared. v tt.u true Co nuaii forethought.

Muh!on. former e ir rtor of the Krupp works: "Prussia bt lieves only m brute force, both in the . xt M ior and interior. She r cogr.i . U" c'hr power than fore."

THE INFLUENZA THREAT. p.. re.rs ale tiaiiing on the pr babii.iy of anOther ir.Miituza outbreak in the coming autumn and

winter. Dr. Hoyal S. Copeland. New York health commUioner, is quoted as taking an exceedingly p ssiir it . view of the future. (ie luring sc ience to b he'plr.-s against the d's'-.is - and predicting Its return to s r,:rge th" wirbl. Not oniy do s he prophesy th return of the dread dis'-ase. but he names October as the time when it is to come back. On th other hand. Ir. William S Peter.', health officer of Cincinnati, commenting on Dr. Copelands gloom:.' ieu, takes the opposite position. He does not expect a recurrence of the disease in epidemic form, for the reason that "the nation was pretty well immunized by the disease last fall and winter." He .".dds the reassuring comment: "r'plclemics of such charactei do not as a rule, strike twice in the same place." A warning, however, is sounded by fr. Peters, when he says the mortality rate may he high next winter, since many persons whose power of resistance to disease h;i.s been lowered may suecuml to cdher causes more readily for this reason. Precaution to maintain one's physical condition at a high standard are always wise, and they vrouM seem to bo especially imperative in the near future, for when the doctors cannot agree, whore is the "exactness" of their science, and what is a poor devil of a layman to do but get scared tD death at the worst?

More Truth Than Poetry BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE WOMEN'S LABOR CONVENTION.

Representatives of the railrcad brotherhoods will meet at Washington on Oct. S, and the international labor conference will convene "her on Oct. 29. Between these two conventions there is to be a world congress of working women, beginning Oct. 23. The National Woman's Trade Union League of America is calling this conference. Invitations have been sent to labor organizations in Great Hritain. France, Holland, iVnmark, Norway, Spain. Switzer!and. Italy. Portugal. Rumania. Serbia. Relglum. Poland. Czecho-Slovakla, Canada, Canal Zone, Porto Rico, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay. Peru, Fcuador. Rolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Republic, of Salvador, Venezuela, South Africa, New Zealand. New South Wales. Victoria anil Japan. Tliis is an astonishing list. Americans are used to the fact that women labor and organize upon almost the same terms as men in America, (treat Ilritain and France. But that the rest of the countries named above would be at all likely to send delegates to a woman's labor confeTence is surprising, to say C the least. National and International labor problems, says the announcement, are to he discussed-. Woman's part in the organized labor of the world is no longer a vague future generality. It Is a very present reality, vividly and concretely to be reckoned with, and by no mians to be underestimated.

The U. S. senate Is now considering the wrongs of opposed nationalities who faileel to have justice promised them by the Paris conference. 'Maybe the senate has some scheme of its own for giving those peoples justice. A disinterested observer cannot quite figure out, though, how they are going to have their wrongs risthted if the senate kills the peace treaty and throws the world into chaos again.

Massachusetts golfers are to be allowed to play on Sunday, provided they do not keep any score. Without score, the legal authorities hold, there is "No game," and thus no breaking of the law which forbids ('taking part in a game on the Lord's day." There's a convenient compromise between modern sperrt and old fashioned religion.

"If women only realized how much a real pearl necklace dresses the skin, instead of using pounds of face-cream, poweler and roue, they would spend less on that sort of thing and own some real jewels." say? the president of the Retail Jewelers' association. Even the jewelers arc coming into the skin game.

They say you can get a pretty fair sandwich now in a New York hotel for about TT cents, not counting the tip to the. waiter. Of course, .it hasn't as much bread or ham in it as the one you used to pay a nickel for at the countv fair.

CONCERNING CLOSE-UPS. While motion play actors career in and out The mind gets a grateful vacation. For one can perceive what the play's all about. Untroubled by tense cerebration, But, when in the close-ups, their maps are displayed As alternate passions distress 'em. Except for the sub-title's generous aid We know that we never could guess 'em. For instance, we see an elongated chart A picture of suffering sadness. Which we know for the visage of William S. Hart, That Western exponent of "badness." Wc think that that look was produced by the wares Of some crude Arizona distiller. But no! the sub-title out and declares: 'THE LIGHT IN THE EYES OF THE KILLER." We see a young lady with two bulging tears And a three-wrinkle frown on her forehead, And think she intends them to register fears Or something that's equally horrid. "She's showing," we say, "how a woman can hate. Or her look means insanity, maybe But no! for the sub-title hashes to state: "A MOTHER'S GREAT LOVE FOR HER BABY." Arriving some time in the midst of a play A close-up we see of the villain And think he's been poisoned. "Good gracious," wc say, "This sure is a scene with a thrill in. For once this low scoundrel is laid by the ears. The hero has actually tricked him I" But we're wrong, for the sub-title swiftly appears: "HE GLOATS O'ER THE DEATH OF HIS VICTIM." (Copyright, J01SO.

HISTORY ON THE TOWN DUMP.

"I'ickinirs on the town dumo are not what they

used to be," says one scrap collector. "People are much more careful about what they throw away than they were in the days when things were cheaper." The particular junk man who is thus complaining of his hard lot pays a city $81 a month for the privilege of salvaging what he 'an from one of the city dumping places. When it is considered that after he has paid nearly $100 a month to the city he still makes a good living from his sales, it is evitlent how much salable material finds its way to the city rubbish wagons. Soaring prices are a hardnip, but the testimony of the salvagg man shows that they are teaching a lesson in thrift which is of no little value in itself. It will be interesting to know whether as prices descend living on the town dump will become profitable as in the days before the war. If mo, it will show that people who complain of the H. C. I., at least some of them, do not deserve the advantage of lowered prices since they abu?e it by resuming their old wasteful ways. Providence is using humble instruments indeed when the town dump becomes the historian of the public thrift.

To this shrine thousands of Americans will pay homage in coming years."

Trafalgar Square is one of their favorite "drill grounds." Battered tea trays, biscuit tins and pans are made to serve as drums, a bit of petticoat does for regimental colors and there are generally more drummers and color bearers than others for apparently none of th youngsters relish the idea of being a common private.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2 Callingl on every school to plant a tree this' fall the American Forestry association directs attention to the p-! proaching Arbor days and the importance of the month of September j in the life o. a tree. "Organize youri

school and plant a Memorial tree." says Charles Lathrop Pack, presidenr of the association, who points

to what a fine memorial a living tree! will make in 194". if the class of 1920 plants a tree now. The association will send free tree-planting in-i structions and a tree-planting day; programme to any one who asks forj them. Important points '.'or Septemher are: lnme Dead Branches. j Prune all dead branches of lmpor-i tance. Do not prune unnecessarily;' prune as little of the live wood as: possible; make all cuts close to the-

trunk or main limb, and cover all wounds with coal tar. Remove and destroy egg ma.-ses of

the tussock moth and like self-seat-irg insects. For removal in winter mark all hopelessly infested and dead trees. You can mark these better before) the leaves drop, but you can cut them down to better advantage in winter. Plant evergreens in early September. Move them with a ball of soil. I "very Day Arbor Day. , Every day this fall will be Arbor day, the association says and it urges that all memorial tree planting be reported, that It may enter these on the national honor roll it is compiling, and for which it is sending out free certificates of registration.
