WOMAN LABOR BUREAU
WILL Be CONSIDERED
Secretary Wilson to Include
Proposal Along With Other
inquiries.

The proposal for the establishment Of
woman labor bureau in the Department
Of Labor. as proposed as Mrs. Flora Nc
Donald Thompson. will receive considera-
ton by William b. Wilson. Secretary of
Labor. along with Investigations which
he VIII conduct to determine whether
certain bureaus of the government
should be concentrated or divided. Sec
rotary Wilson has copy of Mrs. Thomp-
sons letter on his desk with the Senate
document containing an outline. OF her
plan for the new bureau
However. he asserted that no had M.
Yet mad sufficient time to consider the
matters. In fact. lie declared il would be
some time before he would be in > pos,
,lon either TO recommend or disapprove the
rraa,o l,i'ient OF bureau such as that
proposed by Mrs. Thompson He de-
cared that he intended soon Ia s.ar. an
lii.estigation with the idea of determining
whether there were any other bureaus
VI the government which should come nm
Ger the Department OF Labor. and also
whether there was any conccntra.ion ~
merging OF existing bureaus necessary IN

VI iHausuratlng a separate bureau
Tor woman labor would receive con-
slderation. He declared that the bureau
Oh iaDOr statistics had in the PAST done
much work in the matter of woman
iaDor investigation. and that the work
along this line would be continued i'm
that branch of the government service
for the present. He declared that the
establishment of such a bureau would
have to come by congressional action.
To Correct Duplication of Work.
The Secretary pointed out that the in
vestigation which he would soon begin
was required by the act creating the
Department of Labor.
Secretary Wilson, who was instru-
mental in having the provision for such
an investigation Incorporated IN the or
ganfc act. said that he had been of tile
opinion for some time that there was
too much duplication of government
work.
He believed at the time that no
bureaus should have been taken into the
new Department of Labor except those
provided for in the organic act.
He declared that he thought an in
vestigation should first be pursued to
develop just what other bureaus should
come under the new department. and
also to determine whether or not there
was not needed a concentration of GER
tain bureaus which were doing prac-
tically the same work

The Ties of Home.

His home was in valley with high
mountains round about;
1t seemed to him a prison and he
struggled to get out.
For the world was wide and lovely
far beyond that mountain range,
And the restless heart within him
longed for freedom and for change
And he left the quiet valley with its
simple, sheltered life,
And he roamed across the CONT
nents and he trod the ways of
strife.
Met with many sore temptations,
hurts and wrongs he often bore
Yet he knew the feel of freedom
and of knowledge gained a store.
But his dreams were of the valley
with the great hill circling round
And at last he came to know that
only there was pleasant ground,
That its well gave purest water and
its orchards sweetest store,
And his heart beat high with rapt-
ure when he reached the home
stead door,
Fathers words were full of wisdom,
mothers smile his being cheered,
All the old time friends and COM
radeS seemed doubly to be en-
deared
And the bed beneath the gray roof
was the softest he had found,
And the once forSaken valley was
the best the whole world 'roundl

The Dependable Everyday Folks.

Most of us consider ourselves
fortunate if, year after year, we can
make ends meet, with just little
over in provision for the rainy day.
A few do more than this; a very few
much more, but even a great many
do even less; and yet those who
cheerfully follow their calling with
what industry and skill they can
bring to bear. and find themselves
at the end of the year square with
the world plus little something
over, have M reason to complain
and are fairly entitled to be rated
with the successful.
To pay our debts as we 90 along,
to be honest with our neishborS, to
lend hand wherever it is needed.
to bear our share of the duties of
citizenship, to join in the welfare
work of the community, and to
raise up sons and daughters worthy
to succeed US when we 90 hence, is
not to live in rain.
The great world is impelled for.
ward and upward by the efforts of
the cheerful, dependable, everyday
folks, rather than by the genius who
flashes meteor-like across the horiz-
on for moment and leaves us in
darkness and bewilderment, or the
idle and frivolous joy-riders who
pass us on life's highway, leaving
us to inhale their dnst and the
fumes of their gasoline. There is
no lasting joy save that watch
comes from the secret conscious
ness of worthy work we'll done; all
else is vanity and vexation of
spirit.-Farm Journal.
