TRIBUTE TO MOTHER JONES

EQILoT Day BOOK:
Misstatements of facts appearing
in the public press should be correct
ed in justice to every one concerned,
even though we may have reason to
believe they were made unintentlon-
ally. For that reason l wish to note
an exception to Miss O'Reilly's state
ment to the effect that "the United
Mine Workers of America having ap-
parently shown that union workers
were blacklisted, which creates the
impression that the U. M. w. OF A.
were the moving spirit behind the
strike in w. Virginia and the inVes-
tigation resulting therefrom, and
were opposed to blacklisting.
Far be it from me that l should
take the credit away from the U. M.
w. of A. if they have any credit COM
ing, but the fact is that the organ
ization had no control over the
miners until Joe Vesay was sent
down there to organize them, and
this same Vesay was taken out OF the
employ of the mine owners as their
agent to undertake to organize these
strikers so that they could be con-
ttoTled. Let me cite what Fred H.
Merrick, editor of Justice" Pitts
burg, who personally investigated
this outbreak, has to say on this
point. Says he: "But at the present
moment if things go the way Joe
Vesay and his co-oficials want, the
Imprisonment of Mother Jones,
Brown and Boswell and the sacr-,
fee of lives of miners has all been in
vain. In all labor history it does not
seem there has been a more bare
faced betrayal of workers than the
effort of union officials to join hands
with scab-herding governor and
drive the men back to work. If the
men go back it will only be because
they have been driven by the officials
of the U. M. W. of A. into doing some

alton without protest OF all miners
who refused to work under condi-
tions that were no improvement over
those in effect before the calling of
the strike, when the miners were un-
organized. This is a wonderful
brand of unionism and for one am
opposed to it, even though am not
looked upon as a worker, any more.
There is but one person who is to
be given credit for the, investigation
down there and that is Mother Jones.
1t was her untiring zeal and her sac
rifce that finally compelled public
decency to demand an investigation
of the !orrors of Liberty under the
American flag in West Virginia. 1t
was her determination to fight to the.
bitter end that kept the miners from
allowing corrupt officials of the .. M.
w. of A. to barter their liberty and
right to live after the noble struggle
they had already put up.
1t was she, who like Louise Michel
and the Mother of the Gracchi, % was
needed to keep the courage of men up
to the fighting point Of rebellion if
need be so that mankind could pro-
gress towards freedom and the es-
tablishment of justice. AS long as
such women live the world viii not
need another saviour and in grateful
acknowledgment to an old woman's
services to humanity and to justice
let us not detract from her labors,
but give her full credit for her noble
work, for the result would never have
been obtained or effected if it had not
been for her. So here is to Mother
Jones' and may her kind never die,
but live to increase and replenish the
earth so that all men may become
free. John L. Metzen.

THIS CAT PLEASED BY ATTEMPTS OF
 DOCTOR TO KILL
Regularly, Having E'Died,'' She Returns to House, Last
 Time With Kittens.

New Rochelle, N. Y, Dec. 1.-The unwelcome cat that attached herself to the household of Dr. F. King Rich ardson has only one more of her nine lives to live, if the tradition is true and Dr. Richardson's determination and his chIoroform hold out. Per haps realizing the situation, the cat will be survived by a, litter of kittens to still further test the perseverance and the chloroform.
 When the kitchen door of the Rich ardson home was left open on one of the recent summery days the cat first appeared, ate the remnants of 9. cold roast chicken and went to sleep in a basket of clean linen. Although the cat was pursued Q half block down the street and catnip was sprink1ed in an opposite direction to delude and
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-12-17

lure her away, she reappeared in the kitchen within an hour with what the cook described as a "disgracefu1 cat nip jazz
 As Dr. Richardson did not propose to temporize with this kind of un- seemly conduct he place the cat in Q flour bag, tied the top and sent her down to the creek that runs toward the Sound, intending to have her drowned. But there was water in the creek and she was abandoned, sound asleep in a disgraceful stupor, still tied in the bag. pr. Richardson was surprised a few hours later to find the cat welcoming him in the front door, with an apo1ogetic expres- sion in her eyes.
 Immediately he sacrificed another of her lives under a washtub in the cellar, releasing her and a pint of chloroforrn simultaneously under the tub. She was good and dead this time, all right, but to make certain he carried her to the rear yard, dug a grave and inferred her without cere- mony.
 She failed to appear as usual and Dr. Richardson believed all day that the cat was gone at last, forgetting that it was Sunday and that no union cat works on Sunday. He still was

FOR THE STOUT WOMAN

The stout woman who aims to be stylishIy and fashionab1y gowned is, I know. inclined to think there are no woes in all the world equal to her woes; and when she is short as well as stout she is inclined to believe her sartorial troubles are certainly doubled As a matter of fact, they are. The short, stout woman has more cause for complaint than any other type when it comes to questions relating to the wardrobe.
 Tn the first place, it is a very rare thing to find a stout woman who act uaIly prefers styles and colorings un- doubtedIy best suited to her, as rare indeed as to find a fat woman eating dry toast in preference to bonbons It seems a perversity of fate that plump women always want to eat and wear the very things they should avoid. But if she would look her best she is often called upon to eschew a pretty toilet she would just love to wear" Her own good sense tells her it will not be becoming At the same time she is inclined to wonder after all whether ingorance is not better than knowledge and to envy the per fectly tranquil-or triumphant-air, as the case may be, when she meets the woman who has evidently chosen her costume to suit her own taste rather than with judgment.
 
 wearing clothes we like, and when we have to dress to suit our individuality and not our taste, we do not always appear to the best advantage. We may feel that we are correctly gowned but that does not always bring the peace of mind it should. To be quite at ones ease a woman must like her clothes. But the stout woman who has been told she must put aside all pretty colors and up-to-date styles and wear instead dark or somber coIors fashioned into the plainest models feels she cannot do this. Her tastes run to bright coIors and pretty frocks, and I want to show her how she may gratify her taste and also dress becoming1y.
 When she knows how, it will be her own fault if she Is not perfectly happy and entirely at her ease, consequently looking her very best.
 The three main points to be consid- cred by the stout woman, be she young first, color, then design and, lastly, material
 Colors are divided into two classes namely large and retiring" It is generally believed, I know, that all light coIors. are large-that is, they have a tendency to make the wearer look larger than she really is-whi1e all dark or retiring co1ors will appar- ently decrease the size of the wearer. This is only partly true.
 For instance, a golden brown is a dark color but it will make the wearer appear larger than she is, while white, the lightest of tones, will not. Itis only fair to say, however, that some
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-12-17

authorities differ from me in regard to the latter assertion. But I have proved my point both by photographs and in the flesh. To be a complete success. however, the toilet must be entirely white from hat to shoes. ;, know so many stout women who would wear white from preference, but have been deterred from doing so by this popular fa1Iacious opinion. I have in mind a woman who faithfully believed she could never wear white, though she loved it, and was only con- Vinced to the contrary after being photographed in a white gown. She was most agreebIy surprised, for she had expected to look Hike an eIeph- ant,'' she said, but instead she seemed to be actually a .'reasonable' figure White is only unbecoming to stout women when it is cut up by contrast ing trimming or accessories. For in stance, colored belt should not be (no objection to b1ack), no matter how dainty. A relief may be given by wearing an inconspicuous ornament at the throat hanging from a slender chain, or perhaps gold bracelet.
 And now as to the list of co1ors the stout woman can wear, I should in clude white, cream, black, dark green, very dark red, dark plum, dark old rose, dull wistaria, deep sapphire and cadet blues, very dark seal brown, ana navy DIue as COlOrS TOT entire gowns, the lighter daintier tones being reserved for trimming or sman access ories. Such co1ors, however, as pale pink, pale green, mauve, or baby b1ue as a whole costume, will be fatal even if worn by a debutante, be she stout. As I have said before white is the only light tone-this includes the ivory and cream tints-that should be attempted when an entire gown is in question.
 Having disposed of the becoming coIors, we will take those claesed as trying Now gray is one of the
 largest colors known, yet, strangely enough, it is also known as the fav- orite color of the stout rniddIe-aged matron. It really is about her worst choice, though the fawn, ecru,- cham pagne, and "natural'' co1ors are about as bad. In fact, in some cases worse. For instance, when the complexion is inclined to be sal1ow or muddy, certain tonss of gray will help to clear the skin while the neutral tints of lawn and ecru will only serve to increase the SallowneSS.
 All lawns, pale tans, linen shades ecrus, and champagne tints must be strictly avoided in any case, and of course gray, too, if the vearer would not look unduIy large.
 For evening wear black is far and away the best choice for the stout woman, whether she be fair or dark, salIow skinned. or with a. pink and white complexion. Most stout women have pretty necks, and if the top of the gown is outlined with something white, or even a dainty color, it is safe to say the gown will surely be becoming.
