There are some waist-line sweaters
offered of rather fancy sort. One has
bishop sleeves finished with narrow,
tight cuff of contrasting wool, and square
neck with very high collar is also of the
contrasting WOOL Then the bolero has
even invaded this field, we are shown
the bolero sweater with half sleeve and
open in front. 1t seems to us not par
ticularly sensible garment.
The surplice sweater is graceful; and
we also have one that buttons down the
front, is plain, but distinguished by a
very broad belt, which looks like a
baby's knitted band. The first is much
the better Collars liked are gray and
red, and red alone is popular. There are
nice white ones with color in the trim
mings, but they are too fine for the real
outing girl, whose clothes are meant for
utility rather than display.
Leather belts and tailored stocks ars
best for occasions informal enough for
the sweater to be called into requisition.
Leather to-day comes in such pretty
tones, and sweaters likewise. Green and
copper are very effective, and blending
of cOlors is often seen in the knitted
wraps.
Hats are simply trimmed felts of easy,
comfortable appearance, like the rest of
the costume, suggestive of ability to
stand wear and tear. Skirts are at least
three inches from the ground, and some
autumn athletes go in for even brief
er petticoats. BY now one has got
used to the informality Of summer
costume, ready to exaggerate it's COM
forts a bit.
But the summer has been marked by
the vogue Of the hated, rather than the
hatless girl, the outing hat is an
important part of the costume. The
sailor wound about with scarf is
liked, and a Tam o'Shanter effect is
in favor.
White serge and white mohair will be
worn very late in the fall, two of the
popular summer styles. The serge is
made up in strictly tailor fashion, the
mohair may be bit dressier. With
bolero or Elton, the white mohair is very
dainty; the jacket short enough to dis
close the fancy lingerie waist, and itself
often trimmed with double or triple
frills of lace. A white summer it has
been, and the Indian summer will also
continue the vogue of white.

at New York city in 1884, in effect
that all labor parades should there
after occur on the first Monday in
September. This was before labor was
accorded the honor Of a holiday in any
part of the country. After the pass
age Of the resolution workingmen'S
organizations throughout the land be-
gan agitation to induce state legisla-
lures to make the day legal holiday.
The Colorado legislature was the
first to take action and the first Mon
day in September, 1887, became, in Col
orado, the first legal Labor day ever
celebrated. Three or four of the east
ern states soon followed and now near
ly all of the states and territories have
committed themselves.
The present labor movement in the
United States and Canada received its
first real impetus with the organiza-
ton of the knights of Labor in 1869,
although the first trades union in the
United States was established as early
as 1903 by the tailors. Politics at that
time appeared to offer the most GER
tain field for labor reforms and politi-
cal organizations of laboring men were
not uncommon at the end of the first
quarter of the century. In 1929 a dele
gate was elected to the New York
state assembly on workingmen's
ticket and few years later the general
trades union of New York city was
successful in electing it's representative
to congress. Various minor political
movements were coincident, about this
time, with the formation of a. more
concrete labor sentiment, and out of
political activity, at different points
grew various municipal declarations or
trades unions. In 1881 local union
of printers was organized and this was
followed by the launching of other
unions.

Well, sir. we have been through the
Suez canal, and for a great modern
piece of engineering it doesn't size
up with a sewer in Milwaukee, or a
bayou in Louisiana. 1t is just dig
ing a railroad cut through the desert,
and letting in the water, and there
you are. The only question in its
construction was plenty of dredging
machines, and place to pile the dirt
and water that just came in of its own
accord, and stays there, and smells
like thunder, and you see the natives
look at it and keep away from the
banks, for fear the banks will cave in
on them, and give them bath before
their year is up, cause they don't
battle but once year, and when they
skip year nobody knows about it.
Our boat went right along, and got
out of the canal, because it was a
mail boat, but the most of the boats we
saw were tied up to the bank, waiting
for the millennium. We saw some Rus
sian boats waiting for the war to
blow over, and as we passed them
every Russian on board looked scared,
as though we were JapS, that were go
ing to fire a torpedo under them, or
throw q bomb on deck, and when our
boat got by the Russian boat the crew
was called to prayers, to thank the
Lord, or whoever it is that the Rus
slams thank, because they had escaped
q dire peril. l guess the Russians are
all in, and that those who have not
gone to the front are shaking hands
with themselves, and waiting for the
dove of peace to alight on their guns.
The Suez canal probably pays, and
no wonder, cause they charge what
they please to boats that go through,
and if they don't pay. all they have
to do is to stay out, and go around a
few thousand miles. 1t is like a

igan and Canada, than goes through
the Suez, and We don't howl about 1t
very much.
Well, sir. | have studied Gibraltar
in my geography, and read about it
in the papers, and seen its pictures in
advertisements, but never realized
what a big thing it was. Now who
ever thought of putting that enormous
rock right there on that prairie, but
God. 1 suppose the English, when they
saw that rock, thought the good Lord
had put 1t there for the English to
drill holes in, for guns, and when the
Lord was busy somewhere else the
English Smouged the rock away from
Spain, by playing a game with loaded
dice, and when England got it, that
country decided to arm it like train
robber, and hold up the other nations
of the earth.
When a vessel passes that rock 1t
has to hold up its hands and salute
the British flag, or get a mess of hard
ware fired into its vital parts, but that
is all it amounts to, cause it couldn't
win any battle for England, and could
only sink trading vessels. The walls
of the rock are perforated from top
to bottom, with holes big enough for
guns to squirt smoke and shells, but
if the enemy should stay away from
right in front of the holes, they might
shoot till doomsday, and never hit
anything but fishing smacks and ped
dlers of oranges.
Gibraltar is like white elephant in
a geological garden. 1t just eats, and
keeps off flies with it's short tail, and
visitors feed it peanuts, and wonder
what it was made for, and how much
hay it eats. Gibraltar is like a 500
gold piece that a man carries in his
watch pocket for an emergency, which
he never intends to spend until he gets
in the tightest place in his life, and
it wears out one pocket after another.
and some day drops through on the
sidewalk, and tramp finds it and
goes on a bat and gets the worth of
his money, and has a good time, if he
saves enough to buy a bromo-seltzer
the next morning after. 1t is like the
Russian war chest. that is never to
be opened as long as they can borrow
money.
If Gibraltar could be put on castors
and rolled around from one country
to another, England could whip all Eu-
rope and Asia. 1t would be Trojan
horse on larger scale, and be ter
ror, but. say, if it got to America,
we wouldn't do thing to it. We
would run standpipe up the side, and
connect it with an oil pipe line, fill
Gibraltar's tunnels and avenues, and
magazines and barracks with crude oil.
and touch match to it, and not an
Englishman would live to tell about 1T.

and she gets chesty about Gibraltar,
and says it is impregnable, and de-
fies the world to take it, I bet you ten
dollars it could be taken in "a hours.

except to wade or go around, and the
old ferryman sizes up the wagon load

Gibraltar, in Spain and England
My Dear Foster Uncle: 1t seems good
to get somewhere that you can hear
the English language spoken by the
Irish, and the English soldiers are
nearly all Irish. When you think OF
the way the British government treats
the Irish, and then you look on while
an orderly sergeant calls the roll of a
company, and find that nine out Of ten
answer to Irish names, and only one
out of ten has the cockney accent, you
feel that the Irish ought to rule Eng
land, and an O'Rourke or an O'Shan-
messy should take the place of King
Edward IT makes a boy who was
brought up in an Irish ward in Amer
lea feel like he was at home to mix
with British soldiers who come from
the old sod
Dad says that there is never an
army anywhere III the world, except
the armies of Russia and Japan, that
the bravest men are not answering to
Irish names, and always on the ad-
vance in a fight, OF in the rear when
there is a retreat. Dad says that
in our own army and when the north and
south were fighting, the Irish boys
were the fellows who saved the day.
They wanted to fight nights and Sun
days, and never struck for an eight
hour day, or union wages. When the
fighting was over, and soldiers were
sick, or discouraged, and respondent,
an Irish soldier would come along,
maybe on crutches, or with bullet in
his innards. and tell funny stories and
make the discouraged fellows laugh in
spite of themselves, and when another
fight was on, you had to tie the wound
ed Irish soldiers to their cots in the
hospital, or put them in jail, to keep
them from forgetting their wounds
and going to the front for one more
fight. Dad says if there was an Irish
nation, with an army and navy, the
whole world would have to combine to
whip them, and yet the nation that
has the control of the Irish people
