It will be observed that there areXay. Pigs may be pigs, but In the two general policies recommended in addition to avoiding contact with possible flu victims. One is good personal hygleue and the 'other Is good persoual psychology. The whole matter can be boiled down to a few words: Dodge germs, keep clean and don't be afraid. It develops that the personnel of the big fleet sent to' tiie Pacific is hot to Dieces. There are hardly enough nfen to handle the vessels on a peace basis, not to mention a " -war babis, and the recruiting is slow and unsatisfactory. The fault appears to be simply this the navy cannot compete with private industry in obtaining men. Naval officers by the score have lveu in their resignations, and are pledging to have them accepted, be cause they cannot live on their pay. Every married officer is obliged to maintain two establishments, paying his expenses on, shipboard as well as the expenses of his family ashore. The salary scale is said to be much too low to allow for this with present prices, and is also much lower than ' the present earning power in other occupations of men qualified for naval commissions. It is the same with enlisted men. The navy Is having special difficulty in keeping Its skilled mechanics. There is nothing surprising about this when thej men's pay 1s consider ed. Shipwrights designated as "first class seamen" are paid $3a.o0 a month, when they can ' get several times that much in private shipbuild ing plants. Even skilled mechanics in the positions of "first class petty officers" are paid at the rate of $66. ' 50 a month for shlpfitters, $61 for electricians, $61 for blacksmiths $55.50 for carpenters, $52 for paint ers, etc. They have their own living, to be eure: but all of them find more profitable employment else where, on merchant ships or in the communities they come from. What. is to be done about it? It is another manifestation of the grievous rise in the cost of living. It looks as if the navy payroll will have to be revised upward. That would cost a lot of money, and add its weight to the fof?Jboosting the Jiving expenses of the general public. PIUS AND ltltK "While live hogs have decliued from $23.90 to $16.50 -per hundred weight since the middle ot July," writes a markets editor, "consumers are now paying almost as much as they did in July for pork chops, loins? and bacon. "Here is a drop ot more than 30 per cent in the price of live hogs in two months, with the price still tending downward. There has been drop In wholesale prices, too. though not in proportion to the price of the animals on the hoof. Retail prices hare scarcely been af fected, in most sections. 1 Surely, In a properly conducted industry, a 30 per cent drop in the price paid the producer ot hogs should reduce retail prices, by a sim ilar percentage. The effect should be felt quickly In fresh pork. If chops, for example, were selling in Jnly at SO cents a pound, a mere consumer would expect them to sell around J 5 cents sow. "Somehow It doesn't work that mutter of Trice they have little re lation to pork."
