FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1918 PAGE FIVE EXPERT WORKERS IN DEMAND California by prohibition still can be Great Need for Those Who Are Capable and Willing to Do Special Tasks. “What we need In this country is expert workers,” says a woman who makes smart hats for smart people and who says business would be very good if she could get people to work for-her. “I hear it all along the line,” she continued. “They say there is a great need of employment, but it can’t be so0, for people don’t want to work. I want expert finishers and I can't get them. An advertisement won't bring the_m. It won't bring anyone. They won't even come. to see what you are willing to pay for them. Where are they? I don’t know. Perhaps the girls prefer to ride up and down in eleva- tors. “There were some I knew who went dnfl.ng the war to work on gas masks, but they can’'t be doing that now, and I don’t know where they are. They made good money, and perhaps they are still spending it. I want some models that I am having made in New York; but I have been waithig weeks and I can’t get them.. I suppose the others are having' the samé trouble” that I am. T talked with u Jeweler. the other day and he told me’ “he could useitiventy expert workmen if he could get. them. He can’t do it. He has found| one old man, and that is the best ke can do. What are we going to do? People don’t want to do any careful, expert work. They want to do something . that is quick and easy and make money doing it.”—Brooklyn Eaglé: JA_I:’f‘ WOMEN DEMAND MUCH Their: ideal Man Would Have to Be Something Above the Ordinary Run of Humanity. The Japanese magazine Chouquovo Gohano (virtuous woman) invited its Japanese women readers to send in their opinions on what constitutes an ideal husband. Here are the thirteen virtues they demanded of a Jap hubbys He should not be greedy. He.should not spend too much time “primping.” He should have a manly appearance. He'should not be too familiar with other ‘women. He should express himself clearly. He “should make prompt decisions. He'should have high ideals. He should never show himself in the - kitchen. He should never criticize the coif- fure or the gowns of his wife or any other women. * He should not bore his wife by tell- ing her all his pet tastes. He should not drink too much. _ He should not be a dude. He should not be too jealous, The symposium aroused the humor of the Japanese males, who sent in some. suggestions of what constitutes an ideal wife. They paraphrased the last of the thirteen points and all agreed that “she should not be too | Jealous.” . Invisible' War Vessels. Owing to the enormous range.and uccilracy of modern naval guns it is highly important for small war craft which depend upon speed rather than armor plate to weather the attacks of the enemy to render themselves as in- visible as possible. Heretofore a dark- gray paint has been considered the best color to apply. to. ar vessel. Now experiments are-bejiig made with va- rietles of colors. Ideas are being bor- rowed, from the mimiery of nature. We find certain animals coated with spotted fur and other ones upon the nature of their environment. In ex- actly the same way certain naval au- thorities are trying to render torpedo boats invisible by painting wavy stripes on them, which at great dis- tance are scarcely distinguishable from - the npatural wave formation of the ocesgn’s surface. ! Bidding for Wine Tanks. _ Wopden wine tanks made useless in counted in the asset column of their owners. . Buyers from Argentina, France and Italy, are already bidding for well-seasoned oak tanks. Red- wood tanks are not as popular, but may be purchased by the foreign buy- ers. H. Romera-Day of Buenos “Aires is the first foreign buyer in the field, says an exchange. He is trying to obtain options before Pierre Martens of Paris and M, Colini of Rome arrive in Cali- fornia. Only 4,000 of the 14,000 wine tanks in the state are of oak. It is said Mr. Romera-Day is authorized to buy a shipload of knocked-down tanks for shipment to his country. Norway’s Building in London. The British dominions now have great buildings in London, where their activity is (eptmll/ed and proclaimed to tlie world. So far no foreign nation has, an establishment of this kind, but Norway has acquired Victory house, Charing Cross, where Norwegian ac- tivity in London will be centralized. The sum paid for the building and site is $1,125,000, the whole amount belng raised by public subscription in ‘Norwayi S S N United States Wireless Stations. The govemment shore wireless sta- tions numbered 135 on June 30, 1918, of which eighty-eight were in conti- nental United -States, twenty in Alaska, nineteen in the Philippines, three in the canal zone, two in Hawail and one each in Porto Rico, Guam and Samoa. The government ship sta- tlons total 470. Famous American Patriot. In 1832, on the 14th of- November, Charles Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independ- ence, died at the age of ninety-six. He studied law in France and England and returned to America at the age of twenty-seven, where he soon be- came known as an able political writer and a strong advocate of lib- erty. Twenty-two years hefore his death he retired to private life. Ch an Era. The Christian era was not adopted as a means of reckoning time until several centuries after Christ's time. An error was made in the reckoning then and it is now agreed that the time assigned for the birth of Christ was at least four years out of the way; that is, according to the accept- ed reckoning, Jesus was born in the year 4 B. C. Sincerity. Sincerity is the most compendious wisdom, and an excellent instrument for the speedy dispatch of husiness; it ‘Inspirfls confidence in those we have to deal with, saves the labor of many inquiries, and brings things to an is- sue 1h few wotds; it is like traveling in a plain beaten road, which common- ly brings a man sooner to his jour- ney’s end than byways, in which wmen lose themselves.—Tillotson. Superstition. A _rabbit's foot may lucky be. In skepticiasm bitter I say: ‘You keep the foot. Give me The balance of the critter.” .Save Enough. +“T know a man_who is continually taking hush money and never getting into trouble rbout it.” “How is that?” “He sells oplates.” e g Johnson Knew Human Nature. Johnson wrote to Boswell on Sep- tember 22, 1777:- “When a man is in- vited to dinnér he is disappointed if he does not get something good . . . everyhody loves to have things which please their palate put in their way, without trouble or preparation!” Lion Had Long Life.
