IRISH WAR INDUSTRIES
RESULT IN PROSPERITY
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Feb. 27.—The development I
of aircraft factories and shipyards in '
Ireland this spring is expected to open
up a new industrial era in many sec
tions of the country Lack of facilities
for technical training tn the South of
Ireland has been a long standing prob
lem which the new yards and factor
ies will help to solve.
For the present, the business of air
plane manufacture will be carried on
in existing buildings that are being
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment, but as rapidly as possible new
factories of the most up-to-date type
Will be erected. The development is
not intended to be merely of tempor
ary character.
Flight stations and training depots
which are being erected in various
parts of the island are permanent
structures, as It is believed that Ire
land from its geographical position,
will have an important share in the
post-war commercial development of
aviation. It will be the gateway for
every attempt at trans-Atlantic, flight,
attempts which are expected to be
fostered and encouraged by the gov
ernments of both the United States
and Great Britain.
Shipbuilding will center in Dublin
and Cork. Efforts are being made to |
secure a national shipyard for Dublin,1
which will also be the site of the
largest of the aircraft factories, em
ploying 2,000 skilled men and 2,000
girls. The minimum wage paid to
women workers in the aircraft fac
tories, it is announced will be $7.50 a
week, which is about three times the
average wage paid to women at pres
ent, except in munition works.

HUMS MINTED
FROM IIS. KIMS
There are many articles which can
not be sent through the mails. The;
postal authorities warn the public
against mailing a number of prohibited
g ods. A recent circular calls specia |
attention to the fact that solidified
alcohol, matches and like articles are
in the prohibited class. The list also
includes cigar lighters, fuse, lighters,
storm lighters, etc. The circular in
part says: i, < ,u j
“As it is not deemed safe to admit1
solidified alcohol (including the prep-1
aration called “Sterno” or "canned1
heat”) to the mails for foreign coun-,
tries, or to the mails for the American'
expeditional forces and United States
naval vessels, including marines on
shore in a foreign country, owing to
the long transit and frequent handling
incident to the dispatch of packages
overseas, notice is hereby given that!
the preparation in question is excluded
from said mails.
“Every effort should be made by
postmasters to advise the relatives
and friends of the soldiers, sailors and
marines of the foregoing prohibitions,
that all packages are thoroughly in-'
spected before being forwarded, and
that any such prohibited articles found
therein will be confiscated.”

“FARMOR FIGHT" TO BE
SLOGAN OF CALIFORNIANS
(By Associated F’ress)
SAN BERNARDINO. Cal.. Feb. 27.—
‘‘Firm or fight,” one of Canada's slo
gans. was urged upon the farmers of
California recently by Dean Thomas
F. Hunt of the University of Califor
nia's college of agriculture, in an ad
dress to ranchers assembled to hear
the country’s cal! for increased farm
production. Dean Hunt told his audi
ence how the farmers of Canada had
responded to calls of war without in
troducing an appreciable amount of
foreign labor, and this despite heavy
drains on the man power of Canada
caused by three years of war.
A patriotic rally wan arranged, and
business and professional men of the
city laid aside their affairs and united
with the farmers in welcoming Dean
Hunt. The latter, who recently re
turned from Canada, declared that the
United States must prepare to do all
that its neighbor has done. Canada,
he says, has maintained one-fourth of
her men iii the army and in war work,
has increased her acreage 40 per cent
and her production 46 per cent, and
also has maintained an immense army
on her own soil and doubled her food
production. This, said Dean Hunt,
has been done by sacrifices, and the
United States must prepare to do the
same.
A portion of the lecture was devoted
to an explanation of the steps by
which Canada has managed to in
crease production, with lessened re
serves of labor. The working day has
been lengthened, he said; men have
been shifted from non-essential work
to productive industry; boys from the
cities, soldiers furloughed from camps,
and women from homes have all aided
in production, with the result that it
has increased while at the same time
Canada has sent overseas an army pro
portionate by population to one of five
million men from the United States.
The meeting here was one of the
first of a series at which Dean Hunt
will speak, and which will enable him
to carry word of what he observed in
Canada to almost every agricultural
community of California.
