was the assemblagc of people who oil
"Wednesday night surrounded tile tn
blcs at the annual bnnquet of the Cen
trnl Labor Union, In Militant Hall.
Akron does, and well may she, pride
herself In the intelligence and progress
siveness of her working people. They
have always been the bulwark of her
Industrial Supremacy. and by their
skill and perseverance have reared
| and maintained n standard of excel
lcncc IN mechanical enterprises that
has placed Akron where she is today.
| Never before has labor been so thor
| oughly organized in this city;
never before have the relations be-
tween employer and employc been
more pleasant. and in consequence of
this happy condition. the annual ban
quet was never more joyous.
Politics will not be discussed here
tonight" said Toastmaster John A.
Wintrode. 1--WE have much to he
thankful for In the way of trade con

which we trust will bring us closer to-

and give inspiration 10 each and all to
continue In the ways that have made
possible such grandeur of character
and influential citizenship among our
great and cver-growing band of work

very well, and politics had no place on
the program.

We can always excuse vanity in wo-
man when she is pretty and admired,
and has an adoring husband always at
her feet. 1t seems only natursl. and oil
this cultivates the weed. While you
can see the flowers through the weeds it
is all right. When the weeds top over
and the woman's vanity becomes hys-
terra, it's all over with her. She is abso.
lutely impossible as friend. sweetheart,
wife, mother, sister-sny OF the roles

then, beware of over vanity. my sisters!
We women are all vain. OF course. We
