Stigma of Laziness Not De served. The American army mule has been mentioned in the ltriti;:h war records, and honorably mentioned, too. His staying powers, his courage, his phleg matic performance of duty though stormed nt with shot and shell, have all been commented upon. There is an epidemic of awards for faithful service, as there should be, for this war has been characterized not by single conspicuous acta of bra very but by thousands of them. We honor our soldiers, our pallor, our of fieers, our privates, our civilians, our boy scouts, our airplanes, our guns, our horses for heaven's sake, why not our mules? Why not k!vg these stur- ly deft riders of thuir country's honor a decoration ami a title worthy of the service they have performed?

It N'o industry has been hit harder than mining in the process of read justment to a peace basis. The lottnm was literally knocked out of this industry over night. The government had been takic virtually the entire output of the mines for war purposes on the one hand and on the other hand restrict ing all building operations requiring use of metal products. As a rev.i't building operations wen at a standstill. Hence the mines were left with pro-duct-on at a maximum and consiiirp tiou at zero. .'lives o metal have fallen while wiurei h;ive' remained nt war levels. and tV mines have not tried to re- o them.
