Henry Ford says his un successful "peace ship" venture in 1915 taught him something "that most of the world is just now find ing out that war was a profit-making business." The automobile manufacturer made this statement in a Christmas greeting he wrote for the official magazine for the Greenfield Asso ciated Schools of the Edison Insti tute which he maintains at Dear born. "Nineteen years ago this Christ mas I was on the high seas return ing from Europe," Ford said in his message which was addressed to the students. "The world was at war. The ocan was covered by ships of war. I had gone to Europe because there seemed some hope of doing something to stop the war. I found that this was not possible for any one to do at that time. Others tried to do it later, but they failed too. So. teeing there was nothing to be done that way, I was returning home. And that is how it happened that I was on the sea on Christmas day. "Now, we can learn something from everything we do even from our failures. I failed in what I want ed to do in Europe, but I learned that war was a profit-making business, and that there are men in the world who stir up wars for profit."

LADIES TOGGERY Matthews Hits Plan to Merge Labor Bureau Tells Governor Bryan in Biennial Re port That Labor Will Oppose "Eureaucrtic Movement." Cecil Matthews, state labor com missioner and compensation commis sioner in his biennial report to Gov ernor Bryan, warns of a "bureau cratic movement on foot" in "cer tain quarters" to establish a bureau or commission of no-pay members appointed by the governor, who shall select a director to administer and have personal supervision to con solidate and control the bureau of social welfare, bureau of health and bureau of labor. Matthews adds: "I am furnishing you this infor mation so that you may fully under stand the movement under way be hind closed doors, so to speak, to the end of the establishment of a mighty and powerful bureau in state gov ernment. I can assure you that la bor, both organized and unorgan ized, will oppose any move seeking to consolidate this department with that of any other. "The federal government is de sirous of a consolidation of its re employment bureau with that of the department of labor. To this end it has offered to match dollars up to a specific sum now in the hands of the state treasurer. It is a matter subject to the will of the state legis lature and not one for this depart ment to pass upon. It is material however, that the state lose none of its authority In the matter of the conductance of Its own business in entering into such consolidation. In other words the right of the state to dictate policies and personnel should remain with the state." Matthews, claims a nearly half million dollar reduction in work men's compensation costs in Nebras ka since 1932. The figures were contained In his biennial report to Governor Bryan and orally he expressed the hope the economies effected in handling in jury cases will enable a reduction in premiums for compensation Insur ance in this state. Matthews estimates in 1932 the to tal compensation payments for dis ability and medical and hospital bills was $51.19 per man or $720,889 In 14,081 accident cases coming before the office. In 1933, he said, the per man cost was $41.54 and the aggre gate cost $526,532 in 12,027 cases; for 1934, the per man cost was $21.46 and the aggregate $260,984 in 13. 268 cases. He reports that the decreased com pensation In three years was $347,' 853 and the decreased hospital and medical, $112,051, making a total reduction of $459,904. He credits the reduced compensa tion cost to greater efficiency in his office, educational safety campaigns co-operation of the medical profes sion and hospitals. The commission er also pointed out a decline In the number of appeals from decisions of the compensation commissioner. The commissioner makes no recom mendation regarding the proposed Joint state-federal operation of the re-employment service, but urges that, If the plan is adopted, protec tion against invasion of state author ity be made. Chief legislative recommendation made by Matthews was for revision of compensation statutes to clarify the benefits due men injured on short work week Jobs, especially In the case of relief workers, who are on duty two or three days a week Matthews said the present statute was based primarily on the six day work week. The report also included a state ment by F. V. Cornell, director of the federal re-employment service in Nebraska, showing a decline of reg istered unemployed from 87,465 on April 1 to 62,944 on Nov. 1. PREDICT ON 30 HOUR WEEK New York. The national Indus trial conference board estimated an average thirty hour week would in crease employment in manufactur ing industry by 11 percent, or ap proximately 700,000 workers, tak ing September of this year as a basis. The board's survey shows that for employes at present engaged uch a reduction by law would result in re duced hours, increased hourly earn ings, stationary money income per week and an Increased cost of living. For the manufacturers, the sur vey showed, it would result in small er output per man-hour, increase in labor cost per man-hour, and a larger increase in labor cost per unit of product. --si iiappy iSidsfiiias and few fear m m m m m Jncoln Telephone & Telegraph 60. : vvtD(Sf$rm WATTE 1 ypv fifovoHta.'

Many cities suffer simply because the citizens generally do not know the attractions of their city and what it provides for the entertain ment and comforts for the tourists. Post-war experience has shown time and time again that rapid re vival of business is Invariably fol lowed by a fresh set-back and that all healthy progress is made by small steps brought about by slow adaption to changing conditions rather than by resh experiments. Up-to-date business men realizte that newspaper advertising is a service they owe the public. The fact that they back the goods they sell with their name shows that their good are honest goods. It Is always safer to buy from concerns that ad vertise. The people of this country are the ones who will keep it ahead in the March of Progress not our poli ticians. Some people are citizens of a city and others Just live there. There is often a vast difference be tween, what men honestly intend to do and what they actually do. What most cities need are fewer pessimists and a greater number of citizens with more faith in Its fu ture. A little carelessness often causes an accident that a lifetime cannot re pair. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound cf cure." Brains and work and capital are needed in the upbuilding of a city. Japanese newspapers are quite en terprising and are of great assist ance to their government In expand ing foreign trade. Last summer one of the most im portant of their newspapers sent a mission of investigation to the coun tries of the Pacific and the Mediter ranean to report on trade prospects. A lot of countries, including this one, may lose some trade if they can't stop and think and get busy. Seems that a wholesale invasion ot American and Canadian markets will also be made. The phenomenal cheapness of Jap anese manufactured products, on ac count of cheap labor, is noticeable, also the cheap quality of products, none of which can compare in qual ity or service to those manufactured and nationally advertised by United States and Canadian manufacturers, panions.
