Not long since British inventor
proposed the installation of mirrors az
all highway crossings, and now the
English town Of Woodbridge, SUFFOLK, Is
blessed with just such safeguard Tor
the traffic about one of its narrow
street corners The mirror is placed in
such a way that motorists and drivers
Of other vehicles when approaching the
danger point are enabled TO see the
nature OF opposing traffic and to govern
themselves accordingly. AS most acct
dents and collisions occur at cross
roads and street corners, the general
adoption Of mirrors would certainly
prove a boon to motorists.

A basketball quint that promises 10
make strong bid for the scholastic
championship of the District IS Ma
tional Cathedral School Ave, which Is
experiencing its first season.
For the past few weeks candidates
have been praoticing In the school gym

is composed Of eight men, including two
regulars and a substitute from the Ra-
cine Academy quint, academic cham
pions Of Wisconsin last season.
The recruits from the championship
team are Crane, former captain and

stitute gard Besides these players.
Miller, a Washington player. and Hard
ing. Hayden, Wilson, and Small, all Of
whom have played with District prep
school quints, are candidates for posi-
tons.
That Technical High will put a strong
basketball team IN the field this season
is evinced by the fact that three of its
candidates are regular members Of the
crack Northminster quint which beat
the Georgetown Props In recent game.
Gill, Morris. and French are the three
players. The Props easily defeated
Western in a game played early last
week.
The Business High track team has
started active work in the school gym
nasium. The present squad is composed
Of the veterans Rathbone, Bridget, and
Davis and a host Of new material. The
team is at present working under cap
tain RathbOne, but Boernstien. who
coached Il last season, will probably
take charge after the Christmas hOli-
days

A. A. A. TO ABANDON
THE GLIDDEN TOUR
National Body Will Promote
Contests Under Changed
Rules.
By HARRY WARD.

The creation of the new office OF
chairman of the executive committee
OF the American Automobile Association
viii probably materially change the
methods, but not the objects. Of the
annual Glidden tour. 1t has been sug-
gested, and the suggestion viii un-
doubtedly be carried out that this
classic event hereafter be known as the
American Automobile Association en-
durance run. The Manufacturers Con
test Association will be asked to draw
up rules for such a run at the close Of
which every entrant shall be given
certificate of performance made in ac-
Cordance with the rules adopted by the
manufacturers, but that no trophy be
awarded to any contestant. This idea
has met with general approval and a
special committee Of three, with Presi-
dent l.. r. Speare as chairman, has
been appointed 70 confer with Charles
J. Glidden regarding the disposition of
the trophy he offered several years ago
for the tour that has since borne his
name. II is interesting TO note that
Mr. Glidden has stated he is in hearty
accord with any arrangement for the
disposition Of his trophy which may be
for the best interests CT the motoring
game.

Western automobile manufacturers
are complaining Of the shortage OF
freight cars in which 10 ship their
product. All through the Middle West
the cry for freight cars is heard. Les
ter u. Moore, jr., the REQ agent, has
been advised BY the REQ Motor Car
Coupanv that its inability 20 get sufh-
cient freight ears is holding back many
autos that are ready for delivery. The
REQ makers are daily increasing their

According to Russell Huff, chief en-
gineer Of the Packard Motor Car Com
pany, who has just returned from a
visit to the London automobile show,
there is very little that is radically
new on the European automobile mar
ket. "All the tendency is toward small
fOur-Cylinder loW-pOWered cars said
Mr. Huff. "The European makers have
stopped building large cars altogether.
Simplihcation is being pushed TO very
fine degree, the parts being reduced as
low as possible in order TO make the
car cheap to produce in the first case
and easy to maintain when in the hands
Of the private owner. There is a strong
tendency in England toward the adop-
ton of what is known as the torpedo
type Of automobile body. It Is straight
line body, with as little resistance as
possible combined with maximum pro-
lection against the wind. The cars have
high side doors for both front and rear
seats, while the seats are very low 70

. ALDERMAN SHARTEL,

All good union men in Minnesota
and all citizens, of every class in Du-
lIth who like to see the rights of
the people and the public interests Of
the community carefully guarded and
wisely promoted have occasion to re-
joice In the triumphant reelection Of
Joseph Shartel as an alderman Of
the zenith City last Tuesday. Mr..
Shartel has long been an active and
leading member of the Cjgarmakers
union Of that city, and has been firm
and constant in his devotion to union
principles all along the line. He has
been wise, careful, capable and
progressive alderman for several
years, and his reelection by largely
increased majority last Tuesday is
more than a tribute to mis- worth and
efficiency; it is an evidence Of the
good sense, public spirit and devotion
to right ideals in government on the
part of the electors Union

AFTER THE MEAT TRUST,

The government has a good-sizei
task on hand in running down the
beef trust: This Is a Job 1t has had
on the calendar for some time, but
heretofore the results have not been
very gratifying, at all events so far
as consumers in Duluth are concerned.
Now the agents Of the department Of
justice are at work again with the
hope Of succeeding in finding out just
who the big man is who makes prices
for millions of consumers to pay.
Enough evidence has already heen
collected to show that there is a beef
trust. It seems that one man starts
things going each morning nat the
Chicago stockyards. He tells the
buyers what they shall offer, he says
what prices shall be paid for labor
in the various packing houses. He
gets mis- general instructions once a
week from a meeting Of the heads of
departments Of the various houses.
Besides this, there is evidence that
system of indirect rebating is prac-
ticed. 1t is said that live stock ship
ments are sometimes wrongly billed
in order that special rates may be
secured. Fresh meats are sometimes
billed as salt for the same reason.
The government has compiled a mass
of material showing these and other
evil practices, and will subpoena
prominent railroad men to testify on
the subject
This is a fine state of affairs It
will not be cheering news for the
people of this country to learn that
the price of one of the principal foods
of life, something they can not do
without, is arbitrarily fixed by a single
man. 1t is true they nave suspected
something OF the kind for long time,
and the high price of meat has been
circumstantial evidence. The govern
ment should spare no pains to get at
the bottom Of this matter and root
out the evil once for all.

HATTERS GET JOBS
IN UNION FACTORIES
Union Hat Company EnIarses Plant
to Supply Big Demand for
Union Label Hats.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE strik-
Ing matters claim that their union
label would be a strong factor in
compelling the manufacturers to sur
render was born out Thursday by
an announcement at meeting of the
men at the Brooklyn Labor Lyceum
that the Unien Hat Company of this
city is charging it's plant to BE able
to supply the Increased demand for
union label hats. It is expected that
over 80 strikers will be given en-
ployment in that factory.
It is also announced that a large
hat factory in Brooklyn, which was
independent and non-union for many
years; has applied at the headquar-
ters Of the United ,Hatters of America
for the union label. This company
promises to displace it's non-union
employees with members Of the union.
The name of the company~will soon
be made public as soon as the con-
tract is signed.
It is expected that other hat firms
will soon sign agreements with the
ing to the concerns that can supply
union ldDel naLS. Inc demand IOr
union label hats is being stimulated
by organized labor and the friends of
the strikers all over the country.
The union. has commenced the pay

THE RurTERlck COMPANY.

The Typographical Union in it's
fight against the Butterick company
actually represents the interests of
the whole working class. Every per-
son who buys any Butterick puhlica-
ton before that company accepts the
eight-hour rule and the other rules
of the union is helping the capitalists
to resist tine shortening of the work
day in every trade. Every person
who helps to discourage the pur-
chasing of Butterick products helps
to shorten the workday' in all trades
and, by so doing, helps to distribute
employment to larger number Of
persons and to increase the chances

ANOTHER TERRORIST HEARD
FROM.

Here it il again. In another column
Of this paper will be found a Chicago
article wherein it is stated that Dean
Davenport Of the Illinois college Of
agriculture, probably a man we'll
qualified to speak on the scientific
breeding Of cattle and horses, Launches
upon an unoffending world an elabor-
ate plan for improving the human
species by establishing a systematic
selection of men ard women for breed
ing purposes, picking out the "un-
worthy ones. isolatins them in COLO
MES and allowing them to die off
without reproducing.
Every once in a while some spe-
cialist in biology. or in some narrow
subdivision Of biology, succeeds in
bringing himself and natural science
into disrepute by trying to apply the
conclusions of his special study to
social problems, without ever stopping
to think that the conditions OF human
N'OAASAoAA liz ooSASCJ oA . "AOCHy AAtLCt0
ent from the conditions Of the organic
evolution of wild or iomesticated
animals. This is to be regretted. The
biologist would be the first to protest
against even tine most learned astron-
omer or mathematician setting nim-
self up as an authority in COMPARE
tive anatomy or physiological chem
istry; yet altogether too often he
thinks the principles Of his own
science can he carried over into the
sociological field and applied off-nand.
DR.. Davenports scheme is not en-
tirely new, and is not likely to. be
adopted, nor even seriously consid-
cred. His plan would be to substitute
the caprice of bureaucracy for ''the
eomon sense Of most" which, after all,
is more likely to be right in the long
run than the judgment of any spe-
cialist in one line based upon super
fetal study of some other line.

DEMAND THE LABEL,

The strike of the hatters has caused
larger demand for the hatters' union
label than was ever known before.
Union men are doing their share in
helping their striking brothers by in
sisting on the union label on all hats
purchased.
1t is expected that through the ad-
vertising given to the famous Dan
bury Hatters' decision the hatters will
receive better moral support from
organized labor than was at first
expected.
There are IS unios, label hat fac
tories in the country, and they are
preparing to increase their output 70
supply the big demand that has been
created by the strike. 1t is expected
that the business Of the struck fac
tories will be turned to the union
factories, thereby giving employment
to many strikers.
Central labor bodies and local
unions throughout the country are
using their influence on retail stores
and jobbing houses to have them order
union label hats only.
The strike situation is the same to-
day as on the day when it COM
menced. There are $4,000 men out,
who are resolute and determined ito
win if it will require all winter to
do it.

tary of the American Federation Of
Labor, the unions of America today
have a greater membership than ever
before in the history of the labor
movement. In the American Fedora

III national and international labor
unions, representing approximately
$4,000 local labor unions. The num-
Der of state Federations of Labor is
