THE TANNING OF BILL FILM.

"F1inn sat down" And that was Bill
Finn.
We fear that Bills nerve is not the
reliable thing it was in the older days
when he had his glory with him. Look
at old files OF Pittsburg papers and
you will discover that whenever there
was an encounter with Bill Finn it
was the other fellow who sat down.
Sometimes It was necessary to knock
the other fellow down, but a little
thing like that got prompt attention.
Always the other fellow was the one
TO go down.
There are times when It seems to be
different at Chicago. Just read the
convention story and then try 10 won
der what it can be that has overtaken
Finn and makes him sit down.
A speaker had the stage and told
that Penrose is a better man than Finn
Then there was a demonstration from
Finn and the Pennsylvania delegation
The convention story tells that the
/ Pennsylvanians went wild. They
climbed on chairs and branished
naked fists. They yelled words that
in language that will go through the
mails were called "epithets and vitu
peration." OF course Finn led the
demonstration, for he never asks an
other to 20 the front in a scrimmagt
of that kind.
And then came that man Root Il

long and lean and menacing finger a

"Flinn sat down
Then he must have asked himself
what was coming over him. 1t was
not until after he dropped into hi
chair that he realized he had sat dowI
at the order OF the other fellow.
Finn was game and he came bacl
for another round, getting TO his fee

standing even If the earth fell from VI

THE DAMAGING REVELATIONS.
And now come the most damaging
revelations of all in the report of the
New York state factory investigating
commission, showing that there are
296, 900 women at work in the highly
! protected factories of New York cities,
and that the average weekly wage OF
these women toilers is S.. The pro
prietOrs of the factories told the in
vestigators time and again that they
use women in place of men wherever
possible, as they are cheaper and do
not strike for better wages or condi'
ditions"
The report of this commission has
been gone over and substanuated by
Independent Investigators of a big
New York newspaper. Here are some

who buy stocks when they sell low and

But one should exercise Just as much
care In one transaction as in the other.
Have nothing to do with those who
offer glittering opportunities to get

money. 1t may sound very nice TO
say that one owns a thousand shares
