"Well Milwaukeeize Los Ange-

from mouth to mouth in the CAPT.

The shibboleth has been coined
because of the uncompromising
war that is being waged against
organized labor by the Merchants
and Manufacturers association,
the city administration and the
Los Angeles Times.
The metal workers and brewery
workers are locked out, and to

RICH UNCLE SAM TOO POOR
To PAY FOR PAVING

Uncle Sam absolutely refuses
to pave the streets around the

Revenue Collecor Harrison says the
government will pay no part of

Now the question is who will
pay it.
The rest of the city will object
strenuously to paying for the i'm

general revenues of the city and
it may be necessary to make a

Resenting the efforts of certain
bankers and brokers to boycott
the bonds issued to build the mu-
nicipal street railway, the San
Francisco trade unions and their
sympathizers not only oversub-
scribed the funds on the first call,
but they are now going to retail
ate by starting a bank of their
own.
Among the 200 unions in 'Fris-
co many have substantial treasur-
les, and they are asking why they
should put money in hostile
banks to be used against them
and to block every progressive
move. OF the $4,000 worth of
bonds issued the union teamsters
purchased $4,000 worth, the
molders invested $4,000, and
other locals proportionate
amounts. The oversubscriptions
amounted to $125,00O.

ATTIC CHAMBERS
Quaint Retreats from Which

Many out-of-town houses. particularly in
New England. have quaint attic chambers.
with irregular ceilings and gable roofs.
which are especially adapted for "dens"
and studios. And what boy or girl does
not coVet room Of his or her very
own? It is the most natural thing in the
world for a boy TO experiment and invent,
and he wants IA room of his own TO do it
in. Girls. too are not without such in
feel the need at times of a quiet spot
where they can work in peace at what
ever interests them. undisturbed by the
rest of the family. For such a purpose an
attic room makes an ideal retreat. and
whatever trouble and expense it may en-
tail will be amply worth while.
Ordinarily the transformation of the attic
will involve more time than expense. 1t
must. of course, be emptied of sll the old
junk that has been accumulating, perhaps
for a generation or so, a problem that can
be solved only by a family council. No
doubt in the process some old relics. long
since forgotten, may be resurrected-cedar
chests, old bureaus and odd pieces of fur
niture which when repaired will be just
the treasures required to give the finishing
touch to the garret rOoEl.
When the debris has been disposed of and
the room thoroughly cleaned the actual
transformation from a dingy storeroom to
a den or studio may be undertaken. II

In our high schools said William Nc

probably have younger children they are
straining every nerve to educate. All
through New England aud in the West

some boys. who take the academic course

supports herself by making neckties nights

ing thG1 she won't meet the fate Of ''Ra-

was told in an essay written by a Wash

This tsaid the essay ':s the story Of
Rachel, whose father was a victim Of Rus

Land OF the Free that she might gain an
education. Rachel studied hard and thank

thar she might have bread 10 eat she
worked in q great factory making neckties.
All went well until one day she heard Of
the terrible Regions. who would examine
her and she said TO herself: Have l

prepare for the terrible Regions Rachel
took her books TO the necktieS factory and

study for the Regions. At last the DAY
came when she was examined by the ter
rible Regions, but when she sat down TO
write her stomach had so little blood in it
that It could not supply her brain, as
physiology teaches, and she fell fainting TO
the floor. Then her good, kind teacher car
