Bryan Hord stated that he was born in 1896 and if his statement is cor- time he signed a paper in September 1916, releasing the Rock Island from all liability for his injuries.

TALKS ON RECONSTRUCTION From Washington to Speak Monday XiRUt on Social and Industrial Problecis. Social and industrial problems will be discussed by Nicholas Van der Pyl, one of the staff speakers of the United States department of labor, at the Lincoln Commercial club at 8 o'clock Monday evening. Business and professional men of the city are asked to turn out in large numbers. The department of labor has started upon a reconstruction plan for which. it seeks the widest publicity.

For aev- eral months Mr. Vati der Pyl has been speaking over the country for the department in the interest of co-operation to organized bodies of Jjusinessi men. It is claimed for him that be4 knows the industrial situation bptk. from the economic and the practical" side. In.

a circular from the department of labor has this to say in regard to the work cut out for its staff speaker. "The war is orer and the great, problem before the country is the transition from a war to a peace basis. The industrial radicalism that has held Russia for eighteen months and is now battling for supremacy in Germany, lies beneath the surface in many other lands. Unemployment is the prolific cause of unrest, and the present tendency toward a surplus of labor is a matter of great concern to those interested in the stablility of industry and the harmonious relationship between management and workers."

The service rendered our fighting men by aluminum utensils under the rigorous conditions of war on land and sea has strikingly shown that "Wear-Ever" aluminum utensils will withstand the severest kind of usage.

It emphasizes what so many thousands of women know: although perhaps higher in first cost, "Wear-Ever" Aluminum Cooking Utensils are far cheaper in the end, because their enduring service makes unnecessary the constant buying of new utensils. Aluminum Cooking Utensils are not all the same. There is a difference. "Wear-Ever" utensils are made in one piece from thick, hard sheet aluminum. They cannot chip, scale or break--are pure and safe.

It is now possible to resume inaimf acturLag a complete line of "Wear-Ever" in quantities sufficient to meet the eyer- growing national demand for these sturdy, dependable utensils--some of which have been unobtainable during the war, because thousands of tons of aluminum have been used in making cooking utensils for soldiers and sailors.
