Perhaps the excellent quality and

many OF her citizens to pass the Yule-

at any rate only two arrests for in

been made TO date. Where erstwhile
the celebrating cowboy would make
the town ring with his pistol-shots,
the peaceful pop. pop OF the fire
cracker now maintains.
The shopping season was lively and
the trade brisk Many citizens OF
nearby towns came to Plainview to
take advantage OF the complete stocks
handled by her merchants. On Sun
day the knight Templars, in regalia,
marched to the Christian church TO

shoppers every opportunity TO purchase
goods with such label so far used only
on women's undo. wear But was
found that shoppers did not call Tor
those goods. and they went out OF style
before they were sold.
There used to be fear, Mrs. Kelley
said. that the cost of making goods
on which theelabel could be put would
be greater than the cost of similar
articles made under cruel working con-
ditions. just it was feared that laws
against child labor would increase the
cost of production. but the fears have
been dispelled by actual demonstra ton.

explained, by h-ving workers fresh

a suggestion to the local branch of
the Consumers League was made by
Mrs. Kelley when she said. after de-
scribing the work of investigation in
many kinds of establishments in New

of Mrs. L. W. Bu.bey, Miss Cole and

Need of Organization.

When efforts have been mace in the past
to form a Consumers League in Wash
ington, Mrs. Kelley pointed out. the ques-
ton has often been asked as to what
need there is for such an organization
in Washington, a city with no sweat
shops and with not great number of
factories.
The answer is, she said, that the
intelligent people of any city who do not
have a Consumers League are Sinking
the duty OF every decent city. There are
factories and shops in other cities that
are insanitary. that require long hours
OF work, that employ children. And it
is the thoushtless shoppers OF Washing
ton who keep up those factories. They
ignore the conditions in the factories
where are made the things they buy. and
they get goods cheaply because women
and children are overworked.
As To what can bc done practically by
the women of Washington, Mrs. Kelley
firs; suggested that they could obtain
knowledge of industrial conditions. And
on. of the features of the work OF the
Consumers League has been the coming
