They were out on little canoe pier in
the moonlight when Buscoe outlined THE
Perfect Play to Hartley.
'The heroine he began rapidly, "must be
pretty girl and good girl, unsophisticated
and trustful While still a young woman
she falls in love with man. Not really in
love, but she thinks she does. She believes
she is in love with the man to such an ex-
tent that when he proposes an elopement
she is romantically charmed. She has no
family to consider, and there is no reason
why she should elope with the man except
that he is the sort of a man who could not
come out openly with proposal of mar
riage without arousing the opposition of her
guardian. So she elopes. At their destina-
ton she leaves him, having come to her
senses en- route. Naturally she breads to
gos shack to the people who have been all her
life long kind to her, SO she goes away alone.
''Some years later she meets the real man.

The author of this very attractive volume
has been for years an enthusiastic student OF
gulls and waterfowl whose habits arc not as
familiar as other kinds, and he has used his
camera with good effect, as the pictures In
this book testify, for they are of a rarely
fine quality, and very close inspection with
glass reveals the faithfulness OF the senstized
Photographic plate.
The author was drawn to the study OF birds
by the bird pictures of the sreat naturalist,
Audubon, and he followed his master in bis
hunger for close and intimate acquaintance
with birds and their habits. He chose the
seacoast as his sphere of study, where sea-
fowl abound. He found that the students
purpose is accomplished by the camera and
shooting birds to get specimens is no langer
a necessity. He wei! asks If it would not be
"a wise policy, to interest our boys in nature
study, and the camera as applied to 1t, ana
discourage shooting at living things?' 1t
would indeed There are about one hundred
illustrations, which show how the camera
reaches effectively every phase OF the bird
life The fifth part Of the book is study
Of the breeding habits of the ducks and geese
of North Dakota, where they are found in
great numbers in the lakes, small and large.
The author interestingly describes the fine
opportunity he there enjoyed for studying the
breeding habits of the birds. North Dakota
was found to be a very Paradise for the
naturalist with camera. His photographs
are wonderfully true and beautiful.

The WAGE CONTRACT

!; In the absence, of official boards of ar
b.tration in the United States, there is
growing UP custom of avoiding labor
difficulties by means of agreement. be-
tween capital and labor covering ascertain
period. The union representing labor
agrees that during that period there shall
be no strikes. On the other hand, capital
promises that during that period certain
wage scales shall be maintained.
Such an agreement was that made in
Chicago between team owners. and team
sters. The owners recognize the union,
deal with it and make an agreement.
That is quite sacrifice of independence
on their side. But in return they re-
ceive guarantee from a powerful organi-
zation that they will be free from troubles
with their employees for one year. There
will be no sympathetic strikes. A mu-
tually advantageous contract has been
made to preserve peace for year and
submit all disputes to arbitration during
that time. Both sides are expected to
live up to it. -. ~
1t has been charged, and not altogether
without reason, that labor unions haven't
so good a record for living up. to con-
tracts as they might have. Intention and
ability to observe an agreement are an
essential to the success of collective
wage fixing. In the arbitration courts Of
New Zealand the unions appear as cor
porations, 50 that there is a means Of
enforcing the courts DEGREES. The Amer
ican plan of voluntary agreement and ar
bitration might be helped along if the
unions were corporations.

1t was all rather new to Hartley, this talk
about "spot lights, 'back drops" and
"tormentors." He didn't know until Bus

he was good deal interested in theatrical

Congressman Robinson Of Indiana, had
the nerve to say in the house yesterday
that the irrigation bill was beneficial to
the arid. land states and injurious to all
others. If this is a fair sample of Rob-
inson's logic and craftsmanship, it is
hard to understand how he ever escaped
from some such intellectual occupation
as hoeing potatoes. It has been long
time since it was considered sound rea-
soning to hold that what benefited one
part Of the American union injured other
parts.
