Secretary Wilson.

serving of Consideration-Cause
of Children's Ills.

The establishment in the new Depart-
ment of Labor Of bureau which with
other things, would so develop and apply
the science. of household economics that
instruction In household arts and sciences
would become the basis Of the Amer
lean girls education. and TO be known as
bureau of woman labor is urged by
Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Thompson Of 2JOC
CHHDourne place, in a letter to Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Labor
"A bureau of labor is indispensable to
emc1ency In government as relating to
labor. and equally inseparable from JUS
tice as applied to the human interests
not OF women alone, but the whole Amer
lean people," the writer states
1t should be one of the basic opera
tons of the Department of Labor to pro-
mote the establishment of bureau OF
woman labor and delay on the part OF
the Secretary of Labor in making any
incidental recommendation to that end to
Congress might reasonably be overcome
by Congress initiating the effort and ac-
complishing the task"
Mrs. Thompson calls attention in her
letter to the fact that the activities, du-
ties and powers of the present bureaus,
commissions and departments so far as
they relate to woman labor and it's con-
ditionS. are found in the bureau of labor
statistics. in the census bureau, in the
Department of Agriculture and in the
children'S bureau.

TAG DAY PLANNED
BY THE BOY SCOUTS
Next Saturday Is Date Set-Funds
Needed to Garry on
the Work.

Eleven hundred boys are now regularly
enrolled in the various troops Of Boy
Scouts of the District, and have made
fine progress in all the activities and
studies of this great boy-uplift move
ment.
To continue the training Of these boys,
and to bring hundreds of others into
the circle of the Scout discipline Is the
earnest desire Of all who are active In
the work.
Just now Scout Commissioner Edgar
s. Martin is laid up with a severe attack
of sickness, and most Of the work at
headquarters in the Municipal Building
devolyes upon Assistant Scout Commits
sioner Wood, who is working day and
night. +.
A second assistant Scout commissioned
is badly needed, and will be enlisted just
as soon as the funds will permit.
The tag day" Of the Scouts on next
Saturday is the only source of revenue
which the management has IN slgnt TO
provide means for current expenses.
Elaborate plans for that day have been
worked out, and the management hopes
that all citizens will encourage the boys
bv taking one or more tags. If the day
is fine it is expected that the receipts
will be sufficient to take care of the rum
ming expenses for the ensuing year.
All the Scout masters, embracing COM
manders OF about fifty troops, have been
invited by Arthur G. Moses, president.
TO a luncheon on Tuesday, at which all
details for tag day. will be fully dis
cussed,
