Girls to Decrease the Cost of Graduation

The twenty-eight young ladies' Of tne
class Of 1911, Of the Kenosha high
school, says the Kenosha Evening News,
have handed to the Superintendent the
following resolution, which is signed by
every girl in the class:
owe, the girls Of the class Of 1911,
hereby agree to lessen the expenses to
our parents Of our graduation by wear
ing the same simple and inexpensive
white dresses TO the graduating exer-
cises and to the Junior Prom. We al
SO agree not to have extra dresses for
class day and the class play.
This is a good example for girls in
other high schools to follow. The cost
of graduation has gradually increased
in many communities to point where
some young people are even obliged to
foreeo completing the high school
course. while in many cases families
undergo hardship in order that com
mencement expenses may be met

ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG GIRL.
She Should Try 70 Initiate Some Older
Woman Of Marked Grace and
Charm.

Good manners are not hard to eul-
tivate, but it is difficult for the young
girl to realize their importance. Yet
if she will only stop to think she will
remember some older woman who, in
her eyes, holds everything Of grace
and charm.
Then why does she not try to imi-
tate herf Why does she not study
this wOman's personality and find out
her enarmf
The young girl should be considerable
of all things. In being that she will
find nearly everything else will be
comparatively easy.
She will not talk in loud, breezy
tones, because she will know that in
doing so she is disturbing others.
She will not hurry through the
streets in a bold and pushing manner,
nor stand on the pavements with a
group of giggling girls, because she
knows she is making of herself 4
nuisance.
Nor viii she enter shops and engage
in high pitched conversation Plenti-
fully sprinkled with slang and ineom-
moding other customers by blocking the
counters.
Once a girl accepts consideration as
a foundation she will soon find herself
possessed of a charming personality.

You Would Smile
at an English Gas Range

They call it cooker. In this country
Gas Company must carry over 40 different
shapes of ranges. In London they have
but one-a boxlike affair with deep oven
that extends from surface burners to the
floor. The roast hangs on a hook and the
drippings fall through the bottomless oven
into pan that sets on the floor underneath.
From our point of view it is rather a crude,
insanitary affair. Yet there are almost three
quarters of a million of them in use in
London. Without question Chicago house
wives have all the best of it. We think our
new Composite" type of gas range is
miles ahead of anything they have in
Europe. Or miles ahead" of anything in
the range line ever built in this country.
The Composite" range makes it possible
to cook meal of seven sorts of food all at
once with one and the same FIRE. Thus
saving much time and fuel. No kitchen is
complete without range of this type. We
explain the good points of the Composite"
and the small payment selling plan at our
downtown or any of our many outlying
stores. Or we will be pleased 90 send
you our illustrated catalogue on request.

Washington, August 5.-The Labor
Committee of the House, to which
had been referred by the Committee
on Rules the Wilson resolution call
ing for an investigation of the al
legged peonage in Westmoreland
County, Pa, held hearing on August
l. Attorney McNair, who has been
attorney for the miners and other la
Dor organizations, appeared on be
half of the resolution. The testimony
brough ont in reference to the Irwin
field coal strike showed an appalling
state of affairs. During this contest
sixteen miners were killed by depu-
ties of the company, many of them
in cold blood and without prevoca-
ton, and the extreme sentence for
these murders by the courts in West
moreland County has been on the
average three months in jail. In con
nection with this hearing, Attorney
McNaH and a Mrs. Fox brought out
a most terrible condition of affairs
which existed during the strike in the
Pressed Car Wheel Company's plant
at MeKees Rocks, Pa among unor-
gained workmen. When the strike
occurred men were brought in TO take
the strikers places under false pre-
lenses and were not allowed to leave
their employment even though they
desired, the company claiming that
they must work until their transpOr-
tation had been paid for. This is in
direct conflict with the statutes and
has been decided to be peonage un-
der the law. Attorney McNair filed
information of peonage before United
States Attorney Jordan at the time
of its occurrence, but Mr.. Jordan re-
fused to issue a warrant on the infor-
nation produced. A little later an
immense mass of information, charg
ing peonage came from men who had
been held against their will in the
works, declaring that they had been
made prisoners and forced to work
for the Pressed Car Company against
their wishes. This evidence was pre-
scented by witnesses under oath and
subject to cross examination by the
Company before the authorized re-
preventative of the United States
Bureau of Labor This information,
however, up to the present time, has
not been made public. 1t developed at
the hearing that United States Dis
trict Attorney Jordan had taken up
the matter with the Department of
Justice at Washington and the De
partment of Justice had refused to
take cognizanee of it. This is one of
the most reprehensible acts ever
by the Department of JUS
tice and also places the legal repre-
sentatives in a peculiarly conspicuous
position of disregarding the laws re-
Iating to labor. II was stated before 4
the committee that where the men
who were compelled to take the place
of the strikers refused to work, they
we're placed in a box car and fed on
bread and water until they would
gree to again return to work. While
he committee has not yet taken any
iehnite action, as soon as the testi-
nony and brief is printed the entire
natter viii be certified to the Rules
