POLICE PLAYING RIGHT INTO
RESTAURANTER'S HANDS

The police are taking very active
part in the Knab war against union
mattresses. Patrols yesterday made
trip after trip taking the girls up
off the street, carting them to the
police stations, releasing them on
bond and Immediately picking them
up again as soon as they returned to
their posts.
That this is what Knab desires was
evidenced by the fact that as soon as
the pickets we're carted away by the
police he took out of his window the
lurid literature which draws the at
tention of crowds and replaced it in
the windows when the pickets were
once more on duty.
The strikebreakers discarded their
balloons they had carried Saturday in
favor Of toy nanny goats bearing the
sign: We've got their goat and it's
some goat"
The union pickets declare that al
though not only their cards but also
the American flag they carried was

But that isn't helping the married

this republic just now than young

There are married men in Chicago
who don't get enough wages to sup

take their boys and girls out of school
as soon as they are old enough to
work and help support the family.

1t must be ignorance that keeps
Rosenwald from seeing the whole
truth, and that his kind of philan-
thropy is merely putting measly
patch on the seat of a wornout pair
of pants. 1 am quite sure it isn't
avarice or miserliness. Surely his
heart is all right, for it prompts him
to do things that he is led to believe
will help humanity. .-.s
1 can't see it any other way than
that he is blind to the truth. Other
wise he would see that he could make
the whole world think and part of it
act, if he would adopt something like
the Ford plan and pay better than a
living wage to every employe in the
great Sears Roebuck concern.
That policy would not only pay
morally, but it would pay financially.

Tho human being who Is popular Is
sometimes accused of being all things to

To be a popular individual in any CONF
munity OF seif4respeeting and morally
disposed eltlsens. and TO grow In popular
ity with acquaintance and time, calls for
nobility Of character. purity Of purpose
and kindness of heart.
II calls also for tact. for discretion, for
coed Judgment. for unseifishness, for
generosity, for smiabiiity and the power

feF a heart big enough TO rejoice in the

DISADVANTAGE Of the latter. man would
rather have his portrait painted than mis-
photograph made, and many will tell you
that the portrait is better likeness than
the photograph, because the artist puts
into IT expression that the photographer
misses
But in astronomy it is just the other
way. There the photograph completely
distances its riyal. No art can represent
the wonders OF the starry heavens and
no telescope even can show them unless
the Photographic plate takes the place
OF the eye to receive their images.
The pictures herewith shown are con-
Vinoing witnesses of this truth. Look
first at the two representations OF the
Andromeda Nebula, an object so stunning
in it's strangeness that when the photo
graphs OF II were exhibited suspicious
people thought that they were fakes, The
left-hand view is a drawing made. with
infinite pains, and after years of trial,
by the astronomer Trouvelot at the Har-
ward observatory. The right-hand view
~ a photograph taken with an exposure
OF -four hours by a modern photographs
telescope
Troouvelot's drawing Of this wonderful
nebula is perhaps the finest example OF
an artistic representation OF celestial
object that has ever been made. II is
really surprising that he succeeded In
representing so much in his picture, but,
as YOU will see on comparing It with the
photograph, he entirely missed the great
characteriste feature of the Andromeds
Nebula, which Is its spiral form. Trouve-
LOT Jaw the central condensation and the
vast ball-like masses OF shininG matter
that seem to have been flung away on
each side, but he failed to perceive that
= the two dark lanes which he drew are in
reality divisions between some OF the
tpiraI rings Of which the entire outer
part OF the nebuia Is made up. The dis
covery OF this peculiar structure by photo
sraphy caused a revolution in our knowl-
sdge OF the universe.
Then look at the two pictures OF the
moon. The one on the left is drawing
made by John Russell, RA., with the
aid Of powerful telescopes-a drawing on
which the artist lsbored eighteen years
!, On the right is a photograph Of the moon

leaders and lions Is always brief
Sincerity and tact are two qualities
which make for lasting popularity
Sincerity IL thought and purpose, tact
in the application OF that virtue
The tactful person knows when and
how TO be silent.
Many sincere individuals think brutal
expression of the most unpleasant and
dissgreeable opinions is an evidence of
their sincerity But the tactful man or
woman knows when TO speak and when
to be still and how TO change a topic of
conversation when some one has t-odden
on delicate ground.

should first of all learn the charm which
lies in listening we'll; and she should
cultivate the art OF drawing others out.

Such a woman, possessing no marked
accc mplishments herself. and without
beauty or great mental gifts. stands a
far better change Of becoming popular
than the self-conscious venus. or the
prodigy OF brilliant attainments, who
only enjoys herself when occupying the
center OF the social stage and basking
in the glare OF the spotlight.
Unselfishness. then, Is the keynote to
popularity, as it is the key to the highest
moral worth. But this unselfishness must
be mingled with good sense with tact,
with delicacy and refinement. In order
to serve as an aid to popularity.
Without these ingredients unseIfishness
| and generosity sometimes become OBJ
trusive, officious. and offensive
The most perfect type of popular
woman is she who can shine like the
sun when SUNSHINE is needed; yet who.
like that orb, does not always shine. but
Eetires behind the clouds and calls atten-
/, tion to the brilliancy of the stars and the
moon. One who can be entertaining. or
amUsins, or Instructive. as occasion de-
mabds. but who can always pat herself
! in the background in order to exhibit the
graces and charms of others, and who Is
ever ready to rejoice in another's sue
cess without any behtting clause affixec
to praise.
One who can be tolerant OF the ideas
and opinions of others, while holding
entirely. opposite ones, and who knows
how to hold fast to her own ideals while
understanding how. others may fail to CO
| so. III
