WAITREssEs WIN VIcToRY


MATTRESSES WIN VICTORY
Judge Thomas G.. Windes declared
that peaceful picketing" was legal
yesterday afternoon when the hear
ing for the dismissal of the 'injunc-
ton" issued by Judge Baldwin
against the striking mattresses of Eft
ing's and Powers restaurants was
partly dissolved.
Judge Windes struck out four of
the arbitrary paragraphs of the eight
in the Injunction in rendering his
decision, but permitted the injunc-
ton to stand.
Attorney E. L. Masters for the
mattresses pleaded for dismissal,
but his petition was denied.
Attorney Dudley Taylor for the
restaurant keepers argued that his
clients had over $50, 900 invested, on
which they had been earning only Is
per cent, and that since the strike
their business had fallen off over so
per cent, and he asked that the para
graph which specifically prohibited
the patrolling in front of the res
taurants be not excluded, but Judge
Windes refused.
Elizabeth Maloney, business agent,
said that peaceful picketing" against
Fittings and Powers restaurants
would be kept up until the mattresses
won their fight.

HICKSON SAYS GIRL-SLAYER is
-IISINK MANU-


That Boswell Smith, slayer of the
little Weinstein girl, is a sick man
rather than a criminal and that there
are $4,000 other sick men" on the
streets of Chicago is the opinion of
DR.. w. J. Hickson, head of the psy-
chopathic bureau.
To a jury of school principals
Smith told of crazy notion" that
had grasped him, how he had lured
the girl into the alley and there, his
brain directed by the desires of his
body, mistreated her.
The jury of educators tried him
and charged him with murder in the
first degree. To their verdict they
added the trust that no expense
should be spared in sending the man
to the gallows.
According to DR.. Hickson, the men
tai disorder resulting in the crime
was the result of epilepic fits.
"An epileptic loses all intellectual
insight" said DR.. .Hickson. Murder
becomes a thing as natural as pass
ing the time of day"

DADS BOY

WELL" said dad, as he tucked his napkin
under his chin, I've just figured up for this
year. Mary, and what do you suppose it has cost
us to ive?' Ma flared right up and answered
so quick, that as the preacher says at the prayer
meetin', there wasn't no time to waste. I'm sure
| don't know what it's cost US, " says ma, but
goodness know no woman could be more savin'
than am. You're always THROWN it up in my
face" says she about the cost of livin', but if
anybody could be any more scrimpin' and careful
than am I'd like to see em. There's one thing
sure, says ma, L don't spend any money for
cigars or lodges or banquets and when she said
this she shot look at dad that was so hot it
burned a hole in his bib. Dad kindda grinned,
put another spoonful of Goldfish gravy on his bak-
ed potato, opened his mouth to say something
and then closed it right up ag'in, cause ma
wasn't through and when she amt through, it's
a mighty poor time for dad to begin cause he
won't get far enough to pay him for starting.
There's one thing" says ma, that I've al
ways wanted you to do which you won't do, and
that is to keep an account of your personal ex-
penses and submit 'em to me the first of every
month. You must be spendin' money for things
you don't want me to know about, Henry, or else
you'd do it, and as ma said this she commenced
to wipe the corners of her eyes with her hand
kerchef, which is sure sign that what's been said
amt really patchin to what's comm Dad tried
to head her off by askin' if she would have an
other potato or some more Goldfish or somethin',
but 'twasn't no use and dad seemed to sense it,
cause he grabbed his napkin and started to get
up, but she stopped him by sayin', You set
right where you are, Henry, til l get through
talkin', you've got great habit lately of pre-
tendin' you've suddenly thought of something
you've got to do before finished what I'm sayin.
Now" says ma, what want to know is where
does all the money you make go?' well, says
dad, what was about to say, Mary, when you
started in on your Chautauqua course was this;
it's cost US, due to your careful management,
quite little less to live this year than it did last,
so when figured up was so tickled over it and
also so mighty proud of you that l decided to
give you nice cash present" Sayin' this, dad
commenced to dig down in his jeans, for his wal
let, but ma tagged him by sayin' Never mind
about that just now, whatever you We got in your
pocket book Henry is half mine anyway; what
want to know u.s. what do you spend your half
for" Dad looked at ma minute and then start
ed to say something but all he got out was
''shucks" and then he quit. The upshot of it
was that dad finally went down to Gilbert and
bought ma new buggy, which she'd been har-
pin about for sometime. Next year | reckon
ma will keep at him till he spends his half for
