The Caution of Knowledge The cable brings word of British shipbuilding unions debating an offer of the government to sell them, at much less than cost, a great shipyard. There is much doubt as to the decision. ’ : At the moment when untrained, poorly organized and illy-disciplined workers in Russia, Hungary and Italy are Seizing industries by violence these well organized, trained “and self-disciplined workers debate an offer of ownership. These shipbuilding unions are not conservative, They Were the center of radical activity during the war. They “have been jealous of every right and quick to resent every wrong. A majority of them have declared in favor of lized industry. A large percentage are co-operators, epaaged in the management of big business. ney 4 i his experience and knowledge causes hesitation.

Judge Gatens thinks many divorces are due to the fact that women hold down their old jobs after getting married. You can't treat ’em rough unless they depend on you for rations. Man is never again as helpless as he was the day of his birth, except when his wife goes away on her va- cation.
