Quality and Service
Above all keep cheerful.
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."
