USING COLD MEAT.

Meat that has been once cook
ed does not require to be stewed
or boiled when used again, but
gently warmed in gravy or
sauce.
Always cut off carefully any
gristle, fat. skin or Drowned
parts before relocating the meat.
Hashes and mfnces are much
improved If the cold meat be
soaked in cold gravy or sauce
for some time before being re-
heated.
Always use the best of material
in making hash. as there is no
economy practiced by using the
inferior quality.
To prevent gravy from run
ming over when baking meat
pies make a couple of little fun
nels of white paper and place
these through Sits in the pastry.
This will allow the steam to
escape. and the gravy will not
run over.
All warming of curries. hashes
and stews should. If possible. be
conducted in a double cooker. A
bowl placed in a pan of boil :
ing water makes an admirable
substitute for a double sauce
pan.

greenwich observatory.

In the year 1876 King Charles II. of
England founded the royal observatory
at Greenwich in order that astronom-
ical observations might be made for
the assistance of sailors. The history
of the observatory has been the his
tory of chronology and of this practi-
cal side of astronomy. Its work and
its standards have become distinctly
international. The meridian of Green
witch now determines the longitude of
the world.

And. toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.

With music to our umb home
And kiss my darling as he slept.

islation though it did not go as far
as the advocates of this legislation de-
sired. The distinct forward step was
in so amending the law as to prohibit
the working of children under sixteen
years of age in the mills and factories
at night, between the hours of nine D.
m. and six a. m. The amended law
goes a step further and prohibits the
working of children between twelve
and thirteen years of age-even in ap-
premiership capacity-eXcept such as

months of the preceding twelve. A
strong tight was made for an effective
inspection feature. This was sup
planted by a provision designating the
superintendent of education as the
factory inspector for each county, who
shall report his Investigations to the
solicitor of the judicial district in
which violations may appear. The
new law will not become effective I'M
til January first. 1914, and comments
upon the probable effect of it's opera
tons would be mere speculation.
Suffice it to say that the advocates of
a genuine child labor law are still on
the firing line in North Carolina.
"Other evidence of progress appears
in the passage of an employers liabil-
ity act fashioned after the Federal
statute covering this subject; an act
regulating sureties between common
carriers and their employees; an act
requiring railroads to provide sheds
for the protection of car repairsers; a
vital statistics law; more adequate
law relating to health and sanitation
"a bill that materially strengthens the
laborer's lien statute; a compulsory
school law, and a number, of minor
measures that might be enumerated.
Briefly, there is a hopeful tendency in
my State towards the enactment of
measures of relief for the toilers and
a careful nursing of the sentiment at
present prevailing will likely result
in conditions more favorable to all
concerned.

I shall not impose upon the conven-

crossing along all lines of Industrial

keeping pace with the progress of
events that are rapidly transpiring-
faces to the front, and the courage to
do the right as they see the right"

About IRVING to Please Folks.

The newspaper man who is spend
ing his time trying to find out the
direction of the popular current is az
near nobody as anybody outside of an
insane asylum gets to be in this world.
His paper represents nothing in the
world except a sheet Of white paper.
What he puts on it only spoils its
whiteness. He is as sure to go to the
wall as a rock pitched into the air is
to fall. If he turns pale every time
he gets a sharp1etter criticising his
course, he had better quit and hunt a
job at something that requires no
manhood. 1t is the business of a
clown to please the public, but he is
paid to play the buffoon; it is a pity
for a man to play it without pay, for
he will soon find that the public is
growing weary of his monotonous
dwelling, and his resignation will be
called for.-Charity and Children.

WILL NOT COMPROMISE.
President Wilson in Dead Earnest
About Tariff Revision That Means
Something.

49,
President Wilson In Dead Earnest
About Tariff Revision That Means
Something.
Washington, D. c., May 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson came out strongly today
as the champion of free vol and free
sugar-1n-three-yeArs, as provided for
IN the tariff recently passed by the
House. He announced emphatica1Iy
that he was not considering compro-
misses of any sort; that he stood
%squarely behind the measure as it
passed the House, and that he a
ed it as the duty of the Democratic
majority in the Senate to fulfill its
platform pledge by enacting the house
bill into law.
Il am not the kind said the presi-
dent, that could ask compromises
when l once take my position. / have
taken my stand with the House lead
ers for the present bill. Enough said
l am not looking for or accepting COM
promises"
The presidents utterance was made
to a half hundred newspaper CORE
spondents who gathered as usual to-
day at the White House for the semi
weekly conference.
The correspondents were about to
leave the Office when the president
asked if it yer true that reports
were being circulated of compromises
on the wool and sugar schedules. All
day there had been rumors that con-
cessions of some kind would be made
on the principal schedules in order to
satisfy opposition in the Senate. The
president had been told by friends
that in some sources there was an ex-
p%ectation that a duty would be put on
raw wool or that the revision for free
sugar after three years would be
dropped. It was to counterfeit these
statements that he took occasion to
make his position clear. There were
yer intimations that he might veto a
bill that came fro mthe Senate with
amendments on wool or sugar.

sisted G. H. Martin, clerk of the SEN

the endorsements.
Mr.. Martin estimated the number OF
letters to be at least $500. The bulk,
OF the matter filed at the department
is said to have endangered a record
for such papers. A summary compil-
ed by Mr.. Martin names as those en-
dorsing Mr.. Watts the two State sem
ators, the governor, the lieutenant
governor, chairman of the State execu-
tive committee and on through a great
number of classiications.
The letter of Senators Simmons and
Overman was that Mr.. Watts is the

crates of the State testiies to his char
acter, ability and service to the party
and asks the President to appoint
him.
A sketch of Mr.. Watts life and his
own application are filed as separate

Ex-Governor Robert B. eileen, OF

few hours on his way home from

than the most casual visitor might
have. And in saying this, he took oc-
casion to declare that any statement
that he would or would not be a can

COMMISSIONER SHIPMAN ON
THE LABOR QUESTION.

ton in North CarOIina-AddreSs at
Chicago on the Conditions.
News and Observer
Chicago, May 13.-At> the convention
here of the International Association
of Labor Commissioners and Factory
Inspectors one of the speakers was
Hon. M. l.. Shipman, Commissioner OF
Labor and Printing of North Carolina.
He spoke on the subject of the pro-
gress of labor legislation in North
Carolina and his address made a
strong impression, being heard with
great interest.
He said in part:
1--WE are slowly but steadily MAX
ing progress towards the enactment
Of adequate laws Tor the protection of
wage earners in North Carolina. Com
pared to the protection accorded labor
in other states, the laws of Jul COM
monwealth, relating to Industrial SUBJ
jects indicate a lack of interest that
is manifest through the North and
West. This condition is partially &C
counted for by the fact that labor
leaders are less active and employers
more considerate in North Carolina,
perhaps, than in some of the other
states that have produced larger crops
of labor laws. In this suggestion |
do not mean to convey the impression
that conditions in the State are so fa-
yorable as not to require a more ex-
tensiye enactment of laws along this
line. The point I wish to make is that
capital and labor in the State have
been on favorable terms. Strikes n
lockouts are rare o~ccurances and the
walking delegates finds little encour-
ment there.
'However,fI am frank to state that,
in my opinion, too much laxity exists,
and our department shall continue TO
insist upon the enactment OF laws Ior
the protection of those who are ma
BILE to protect themselves, from active
as we'll as prospective imposition at
the hands of those persons and corpor-
atoms who are in a position to exact
more from them, in physical effort,
than is fair or right, or just. The op-
nosition has. so far, succeeded IN
crippling every act offered for the pro-
lection of the workers, and IT.
Golf has been remiss in daring to make
demands for needed eme
dial legislation or fighting for them:
Ct If will be seen that the Department
is handicapped in it's efforts to aid a
class of citizens who do not appear
Seriously concerned about themselves.
The State has no finer type OF cltlzen
than the average wage Garner, but they
noad to become more interested in
bringing themselves to a position i
