The policemen. accompanied by the

Now, while | was watching the
scene, a man passed who VAS evi-

his elbows raised.

from me but, nevertheless, ut the

My blood stood still in my veins,

A sudden idea came to me. I
thrust my hand into the pocket Of

incredible energy to draw again the
scene of the murder. No more un-

Van Spreckdal silently pointed to

grew pale. Then. uttering a o
which filled us all with terror, he
threw out his enormous arms and

There was a frightful struggle. which
lasted about a minute.

are safer eating in union restaurant
than in one that isn't.
Where an employer deals with each
of his cooks, walters or other en-
ployes as an individual he can do
about as he pleases. The poor in
dividual employe is even afraid to
complain of unsanitary surroundings
for fear of losing his job.
Where employees are organized,
however, each employee is backed by
all the others and isn't afraid to de-
mand sanitary working conditions or
to complain of conditions that may
affect the health of both employees
and patrons.
l notice that one of the restau-
rant owners who is having trouble
with the Mattresses union boasts to
the public that conditions in his eat
shops are better than union condi-
tons.
There is a confession IN that boast
that union conditions establish the
standard; and it often happens that
when a union strikes against work
ing conditions in any business the
manager of that business will bring it
up to union standards in order to be
in better position to fight the union.
The public is gradually learning
that the union label means some
thing to the public as well as to the
workers; for there is much involved
in unionism besides wages. Unions
fight against filthy surroundings -
which are menace to the public as
well as to the workers. The same
is true of unsanitary surroundings
and violations of the laws of health.
And often when an employer in

Miss Nasel Compliments Capital

The presence In Washington last week
OF the Misses Nagel, daughters OF the
former Secretary OF Commerce and Labor,
was not merely to give Mr.. Nagel the
pleasure Of the company OF his young
daughters while detained on business. but
to admit Of Miss Mary Nagel being fitted
out with a full debutante wardrobe. This
compliment to Washington. for so every
one who knows the resources OF st.
Louis must consider 1t, is the result Of
Mrs. Esgers four years residence here
during the Taft administration, when she
and Miss Hildegarde Nagel were among
the always well-gowned members OF the
smart administration circle of that day.
Miss Mary Nagel was then a Cabinet
child, rarely seen or heard OF outside OF
the schoolroom, as her mother is one of
the old-fashIoned gentle kind for which

Miss Mary Nagel is just eighteen and

heart Of this attractive daughter of q
gallant officer.

conspicuous feature of the gown was the
superb, well-hung court train, which was
entirely Of the embroidered crepe, with
