T WAS noon, and tlio blc whistle nt
tliu pliint of n largo manufacturing
concern In Sclionuctndy, N. Y., hnd
Just summoned the shop-workers
nnck to ninchlue und bench, whqn
I.ulKl'fl foreman toudiod htm on ttio
Klioulder. "Five o'clock tonight,
Lulgl, nt the Works Itestntirnnt," lie
said briefly. "Good supper, good
music, good time, tenrn English."
Lulgl, only dimly comprehended,
but n fellow-workman passed the message along
'In Italian. "Good supper, good music, good time"
those three phrases danced through his mind
all the afternoon. At the close of the dny's work
he made tils way to the restaurant, designed by
engineers to serve a million meals u year. Crowds
of men were surging through the doors nnd tio
rushed Ills way In and to a seat, his black eyes
hlniug with expectation.
Yes; the'ro was music to set Lulgl's blood ting
ling, and his feet tapping the floor, for the bund
ivns sending our Its most spirited strains. And
( ins for the supper not once sTnce lie had been on
American soil had Lulgl so enjoyed n repast. IIo
glanced over at Cushntr, his Polish neighbor,
whose face was lighted with smiles.
Then n keen-eyed, pleasant-faced man mounted
a platform, nnd n whisper, followed by a hush,
ran about the assembly, for the speaker was Mr.
'Emmons, vice president nnd general manager of
tho company. He spoko with such goodwill that
LuIgl caught tho spirit of tils message, If not
the actual meaning. To his delight, Futher Ney
roz, of Lulgl's own nationality, stepped forward
with an interpretation of Mr. Emmons' words In
Italian, and n Polish priest also Interpreted like
wise. Lulgl and Cnslmlr listened eagerly and
joined In the applause nnd cheers.
"Wo have Invited you here tonight," explained
Mr. Emmons, "to tell you nhout n new American
llzutlou plan. Wo represent many nationalities
nd races. Tonight I welcome you ns Americans,
nnd hope '.lint nil of you who have not made this
country tho land of your adoption, nre thinking
of doing so. The company Is glad to have you
ns Its guests nt this Amcrlcnnlzatlnn supper, and
lioiles flint many of you will be Interested In tho
work to be undertaken, which will not only tench
you something of our language, but nlso teach
you our American standards of thought and life.
We have much to learn from the nations you rep
resent. You nre well able to tench us many
things.
"Wo wish, however, to tench you the language
fn which nil our shop work Is done. Several
reasons make It Important Mint you should talk
English. You will lie snfer In your work und less
liable to accident If you understand alt safety
Instructions. v You will progress faster In your
development you understand better nil that Is
Bald from dny to day. You will enjoy more of
tho shop life If you enn share what other men
ure talking about.
"If this country Is now your home and tho homo
of your children, you should know Its language,
should possess Its citizenship, should obey Its
paws, and follow the spirit of its Institutions.
"I wnnt you to feel that the company for which
jou work and the executive officers nre Interested
1n helping you become Amorlcnns of the best kind,
not forgetting tho hinds In which you were born
nnd their languages, but remembering flint Amor
Jen Is now your homo und the homo of your chil
dren. Your sons fought In the American armies.
JMuny of them died for their country. Wo honor
i them for tho sacrifice. You niny honor them ulso
by sharing tho citizenship they fought nnd died
(for.
"I greet you as Americans of, tho future, If not
iof the present, and appreciate your interest In
ithft meeting."
Tho lnternrotcrs then told how an Amerlcnnlzn
tlon secretary had been engaged by tho company,
to devote all his tlmo to tho foreign-born workers.
First, thero was to bo Instruction In English.
Tho shop was to bo tho classroom. Regular
classes were to be organized with sessions each
wek. The clnsses were to bo graded so that tho
I iL'li"tors might study together, and -those moro
j&zpj?' cz.4&zi&&y&zri&-
advanced be grouped uccordlng to their knowledge,
of the language.
It was emphasized that these opportunities wero
to be purely voluntary. No one wus compelled to
lenrn against his will.
Then, when sufllclent progress hnd bon mnde
In mastering English, ft would be possible to take
out citizenship papers und to become u real part
of the country of their ndoptlon.
At G o'clock, If any one had told Lulgl nnd Cas
Imlr that before they reached homo ut night they
Nvould not only understand but speak, live sen
tences of English, they wouldn't have believed It.
Hut thnt Is precisely what occurred and all In
tho short space of twenty minutes.
Fred Itlndge, Jr., an industrial service worker,
brought to pass this seeming miracle. Grouping
fifty of the men before him, Mr. Itlndge named
five simple words see, find, nwnke, look, nrtse.
Pronouncing ench word distinctly n number of
times, he nsked his henrers to repeat them after
him. When this hnd been thine to his satisfac
tion, nit was In readiness for the first lesson.
"Getting up In the morning," said he, yawning
nnd stretching his arms. "Now altogether re
pent after me. 'I' (pointing to himself) 'I, 'I.'
No-, 'nwnke,' 'awake,' 'awake,' 'awake.' Now,
'from bleep,'" nnd so on, until within twenty
minutes the entire class s,ald fluently and with
perfect understanding:
"I nwako from sleep. I open my eyes. I look
for my watch. I see what time It Is. It Is six
o'clock."
Deep down In tho heart of Lulgl, a new respect
for the company which employed him, a new
sense of responsibility, nnd a new ambition took
root before long. Ho felt that ho had been given
an opportunity. IIo wns not going to spend his
best years ns a strnnger In n strango lnnd, strug
gling with nn unfamiliar tyngue, unrecognized,
n mere cog In tlio wheel of Industry. Soon lie
would speak English readily. He would under
stand all that wns going on In the shop. IIo
would work hnrd, would buy n little house, would
give up the Idea of hoarding his money nnd some
dny taking steerage piiBSiigo ,to Italy. IIo would
give Mnrtn nil sorts of comforts, would touch
her, English, too. A uew day hud dawned In tho
life of Lulgl.
As for Caslm!r, It hnd seemed to him thnt he
wus no fnrthe: nlong than when he hnd first
came, years ago, from Poland. Ho hud mnde
no effort to learn English, for tho simple reason
thnt nobody enred whether ho. did or not. Now he
had chnnged his mind. His employe'rs were mak
ing uu effort to undorstnnd him; very well, ho
would mnko nn effort to understand his employers.
Thero wns no question hut thnt If ho understood
nnd could tulle English, ho would get ulong bet
ter, Lulgl and Cnslmlr ere typical of tho men In
whoso behalf tho company bus launched this
Amerlcnnlzntlon cnmpnlgn, which Is being watched
by Industrial managers tho country over. A cau
vuBS of tho alien workers wns made In tho Sche
nectndy plnnt, disclosing tho fnct thnt thero are
1,000 Italians, GOO Poles, and five hundred of
other nationalities, all aliens. Of tho Italians
:sr7 do not read or write their own language, nnd
cannot speak English, 302 rend dnd write Italian,
but have no similar knowledge of English. Tho
remainder can speak, write und rend both Italian
nnd English.
Of the COt) Poles, 179 neither rend or write tho
Polish language und have no knowledge of Eng
lish; and 231 ure wholly unfumlllur with Eng
lish. Tho campaign undertaken by tho company hns
given nn Impetus to Amerlcnnlzntlon work In
the city proper nnd all Industries and organiza
tions have expressed hearty Interest nnd sup
port. E. E. Fink, superintendent of night schools,
is perfecting nn urrungement whereby clnsses in
English mny be held in tho homes of the foreign
born. The foreigner is naturally Inclined to bo
sociable und hospitable and it Is thought thnt If
ho may invito his friends nnd neighbors to study
English nnd citizenship nt his own fireside there
will be more pleusure und less effort In the now
tusk.
A. L. Ilnhn, tho Americanization secretary of
the company, has hnd yenrs of successful experi
ence. Mr. Hnhn's ofllce Is In building 44, nnd his
duties nre not only to mnko 100 per cent Ameri
cans of tho foreign-horn employees, but to nsslst
them In the problems thut they mny bring to his
attention, from matters of personal hygleno to
the bending of money to relatives In Europe.
The company hopes thnt this cnmpnlgn, which
Is so unique In muny respects, will soon grow
from an experimental stage Into n permnnent
and successful work, incidentally It Is supple
menting Us shop work In tho plnnt by nn Inten
sive advertising cnmpnlgn In the forelgn-lnngunge
newspapers, showing tho foreigners of the city
tho many opportunities they have to lenrn Eug
llsh nnd become real American citizens.

Interesting chapter In the records of

THE WISE YOUNG LADY.
"Tho successful man," said Viscount Grey at a

Engstrom Killed the Leader.
I'osen, III. The husband was making
u good living, selling automobiles, and
the wife worked the little truck farm.
Their nearest neighbors, with one
exception, wero several miles distant.
There were two sons nt the nearest
neighbors1, and men of rough character
begun to visit this place. One day,
when tho husband wus absent, these
men abducted his bride. Several days
later he found her at the other house
nnd, after a hard fight, rescued her
und took her home.
A few evenings later n slx-ycnr-old
boy came to Engstrom's house nnd
begged to be taken In, iih the men hnd
threatened to kill him for telling Eng
strom where they had hidden his wife.
Two members of the gnng came after
the boy nnd In the ensuing light, Eng
Htroni killed the lender. Police sny nil
tho gnng nre murderers nnd fugitives
from Justice nnd thnt the house wns
n resort nnd hiding place for n no
torious gang of professional murder
om, many of whom nro now In custody
and awaiting trial.
When you wnke up with bnckach
and dull misery In the kidney region it
generally mentis you have been entlng
too much meat, says a well-known au
thority. Meat forms uric Held which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to (liter It from the blood und they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all tho
body's urinous waste, else you linva
bnckaclie, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue Is con ted,
und when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine In
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scnlds nnd you
nro obliged to seek relief two or threu
times during the ulglit.
Either consult a good, reliable physt
clan nt once or get from your plmrtnn
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tiiblespootiful In n glass of
water hefoie breakfast for a few
days and our kidneys will then act
fine. This famous suits Is made from
the acid of grapes nnd lemon Juice,
combined with llthla, nnd has been
used for generations to clean nnd
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize, acids In the urine so It no
longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jnd Salts Is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It Is Inexpensive, cannot
Injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent llthla-wnter drink. Adv.
