Hensley's congressional activi-

his stipend from the national
treasury regularly and sending
out his quota of garden seed.
During the special session last
summer we failed to note his
name mentioned among the con-
spicuOus members Of the House,

an effort on part Of the Washing

Whom were the McNamaras
serving with their dynamite
plots? Certainly not organized
labor, for which John J. Nc
Namara stood as an official re-
preventative, for it was as newt
able that these Outrages would
react upon organized labor as it
was that they must sooner or
later be traced to the guilty par
ties. 1t is, therefore, almost in
credible that men of ordinary
intelligence, and John J. to have
reached the position in labor
circles that he held, must be
somewhat above an ordinary
caliber of intelligence, would re-
sort to such practices with the
idea that he was helping the
class of society he represented.
That these men have confessed
their guilty really does not fur
nish the solution of the problem,
for in their confession they fail
to show wherein the act confess
ed to was to benefit the cause
they represented. The vested
interest, while they have suffer
ed slight material damage from
these neutrality-suspicious., are
the real gamers from them, since
their prestige before the country
gains in the same ratio that the
McNamaras have brought odium
upon organized labor.

Concrete Furniture.

Thos. A. Edison, who recently
announced that he would make
it possible to build a concrete
house for $1,000, has gone furth-
ec and declared that in the
near future he would put on the
market concrete furniture. The
inventor already has made a re-
inforced concrete cabinet for the
phonograph, and pieces of furni-
ture made in the new style are
on their way to Chicago and back
to show what they can stand in
the way of resisting handling
by freight men.
Atpresent the weight of the
concrete furniture is about 33I,
per cent greater than wood, but
Edison expects to reduce the eX-
cess to p per cent. The con-
crete surface can be stained,
Edison claims, so as to look like
any kind of wood desired. I

ture on the market" said the in

on the installment plan, | feel
confident that we can give him
more artistic and more durable
furniture for $500. I'll also be

Home Occupations For Children, Play
and Play Materials, Toys and
Toy Selection.

Toy Selection.
By Mrs. J. T. Rice, president of the
Irondale Mothers Circle.
| The child should be started
right by giving him a home
where the housing conditions
are good, the furnishings sani
tary and appropriate, the food
and feeding healthful. and the
clothing comfortable. These
things can be obtained at large
or small expense. according to
our means. but high cost is not
necessary to god results. The
one thing necessary is informa-
ton as to what are proper hous-
ings. furnishings, foods, feeding
and clothing.
Having started the child right,
he must be led along the right
way. In accomplishing this ar
important place must be given
to Home Occupations, Play and
Play Material. The home made
coll house and the home made
work bench are valuable in the
production of a good home made
child.
Empty minds, empty words,
empty hands draw IN vicious
habits as a vacuum draws in air"
Every child longs to make real
things, and so become a part of
the life around him. In produc-
tive work, he will learn initiative.
application. self-reliance, self
control. concentration and re-
sourcefulness. By it. the bond
which holds him to the home
will be strengthened, and the
relation of parents to children
will be rendered more close and
intimate.
Can you contrive some some
sort of workshop where your
boy can use his mind, his will
and his his hannds in active
healthful employment at home:
A workbench can be made from
a dry goods box costing 80 cents
or less, and the outfit with which
all sorts of crafts, from wood
carving to cabinet making, can
be carried on may be secured for
a moderate sum. Printing out
fits may be had at varying prices,
depending upon the ingenuity,
resourcefulness and persistency
of the boy who hunts for them.
Apparatus for all sorts of nature
work, such as collecting, pre-
pairing, mounting and classifying
specimens. can be made at home.
With simple tools and materials,
shelters for pets, bird houses
similar to those shown in the
homes exhibit, and other de-
vices for the humane care of
domestic and wild animals can
be manufactured. The making
of such things will serve TO fix
the humaneprecepts which every
home should teach. Kindness
to the lower animals is not sim
ply duty to those patient crea-
lures which always repay love
with love; but its exercise pro
notes the growth of those quail
tiles which make men better in
all relations of life.
Do not think that costly outfits
add greatly to the pleasure Of
the work done with them 1t is
the finest kindness to the boy to
let him use his own ingenuity.
Stress on the purpose and the
work done rather than on the
price of the tools. If occupation
can be furnished by the daily
work of the home, and parents
know how to enlist their boys
and girls as comrades rather
than task servers. fortunate are
the households and the boys and
girls.
Play is one of the basic needs
of all children, and we have at
last learned that it is a great
