THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization dld
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
eminent, politicians have sought 10
decoy the ministry into the meshes or
notifies and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed and
while most of them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" a few have
fallen with crash that has shaken
every pulpit In Christendom.

! A home convenience should save
steps, save strength, or save time.
Many steps and much time and en-
ergy may be saved by having the work
table and sink of the proper height
and properly located. Provide high
stool on which to sit when working at
the table or sink so that it will not be
necessary to stand while preparing
vegetables and other foods. Wood
tables, covered with enameled iron or
composition top, will be more sani-
tary and easier to keep clean. These
will serve the purpose of molding
boards.
Many steps are saved by having
shelves and hooks over the kitchen
table, and drawers and flour bin in
the work table. Many utensils, as
we'll as sugar, spices, flour and other
materials can then be kept within
reach when one is working at this
table. The stove should be near both
table and sink. Have some of the draw
ers tin lined and covered for holding
bread and crackers. 1t will then be
unnecessary to carry bread to the eel
lar and put in boiler after each
meal. For one working in a large
farm kitchen, table or tray on rollers
will save many steps in getting uten-
sils or food from one part to another,
and getting food and dishes to and
from the dining room.
There are numerous small devices
which make the household cleaning
easier mop wringer which fastens
to the mop pail saves time and strain;
the dust pan with handle saves
STOPPING; the dustless buster prevents
scattering of dust from one piece of
furniture to another; the dustless mop
hghtens the daily care of a floor;
soap dish hung on the side of pail
when cleaning saves the soap by not
having it soften in the water and pre-
vent the soap being laid where it
might cause white spot on furniture
or floor A canton flannel bag, which
ties with string over the broom, is
convenient for wiping off walls and
ceilings.
The greatest aid in keeping the
house clean is the vacuum cleaner. 1t
may be used on the rugs, mattresses.
and upholstered furniture, or it will
take up dust from the bare floor.
While good arrangement and the
many small devices are necessary to
make for conveniences in the laundry,
the greatest saving of strength comes
from the use of power machinery. If
power, such as water, gasoline engine,
or electricity can be used, the hardest
task in the household is made easy.
An open floor drain connecting with a
sewer pipe will carry off waste water
from tubs and washer.
paper pad and pencil should
hang in the kitchen on which to write
when any supplies need ordering.
The freless cooker will save fuel
and hours of watching food. 1t is es-
pecially useful when the housewife is
obliged to be away from home part
of the day.
An expenditure to secure any device
which conserves the time, energy and
thought of the house worker is not
only economic, but is just recognition
of the value to the home or the happy,
rested woman who then can live with
the family as we'll as for it.

similar to the cooperative plan which
he has SO successfully operated at the

Ever since the Home Club cooperative

employees of the other departments have
asked a share in this cooperative buy

club for all Of the Government employees
In WASHINGTON would offer q wider

limited to 500 members for the present.
IT will be worked out in greater detail

clude many other features such as

the members of the club at club rates.
and other professional men will be en-

By no means the least important
result from the successful assaults

feet on the Balkan nations. Bulgaria

smashing of the boasted western

corporations, one fostered by the Nor

other by the Schwab-Dupont group, to
control the American munitions out
put. rapidly began shaping itself to-

but none can be confirmed.
Officials of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works today refused to discuss the
report that the Schwab-Dupont group
have acquired control Of the company.
Despite their silence. the report was
generally credited in financial circles
In view of the numerous meetings
held last week between Charles NJ.
Schwab. the Dupont and Baldwin di-
rectors. Brokers also admitted today
that enough Baldwin stock had been
transferred within the past month to
place control of the great munitions
and locomotive works into new hands.
Before the week is over 1t is be-
lieved several other companies will
pass into the hands OF either group.
Startling developments are looked for
in the Cambria deal within the next

that the company will be acquired by

JAMES kerr HARDY

Keir Hardy, socialist and labor
leader in England, dead at fifty
nine years, was one of those men
who have the idea that reform is to
be accomplished by making bad con-
ditions worse; by pursuing bad con-
ditions to their logical result and
making the public realize how bad
they might logically become. A
strong temperance advocate-he
would have been prohibitionist if
he had lived in this country-he
made one of his most famous bids
for recognition as a great eccentric,
by defending the right of the work
ingman to get drunk. A railroad
engineman had been discharged for
being drunk. Hardy insisted that if
a gentleman or a peer had the right
to get drunk-ahd they surely exer-
cised it often enough-then the
workingman must have the same
privilege. There was a serious
strike of railroad employees as a re-
suit of this affair.
At another time Hardy took up
the cause Of the coolie classes in In
dia, and made speeches that were
widely regarded as seditious. In
stead of seeking amelioration of con-
ditions that were undoubtedly bad,
it was his aim to make them worse
as a means to forcing attention and
betterment. He was at least acad-
emically revolutionist in his So
cialist teachings, always insisting
that the working classes must be or
ganized into political solidarity in
order that they might, by acting as
a unit, compel attention to their de-
mands. In the United States, on his
various visits here, he was never
quite able to understand how the
working men could be SO indepen-
dent in their political action; he
could not get far enough away from
the British conception of caste, to
realize that in America a mans
politics is determined by his opin-
ions, and that there is no "labor
vote" or capitalist vote" when elec-
tion day comes, because working
men divide on political matters ex-
actly as other people do.
Mr.. Hardy was boy in the mines
at seven, educated himself, spent a
long period in parliament, and was
real radical at all times. He was
no constructive statesman, but he
was the prince of agitators. Out Of

TRAINING FOR INDUSTRY

More than the investment Of
capital will be needed to place this
country in the advantageous COM
mercial and industrial position for
which the war has opened the way.
No amount Of money will make up
for the lack Of trained industrial
workers.
Men who are trying to seize upon
the opportunities facing US have
been made to realize this as never
before. In cursory fashion educa-
tional experts have gone abroad to
study vocational training, as it was
given in Germany and France. They
have written monographs on Swed-
ish and Norwegian trade schools.
But only in a few sections has this
training been introduced in this
country.
To give vocational education an
impetus in this country its friends
long have sought the passage of a
Federal law, carrying an appropria-
ton. The realization of our short
comings as we are about to enter
the new field is very apt to bring
this hope to a realization at the
next session Of Congress. The
th-Hughes bill, which grew out
Of the studies Of a commission Of
the whole subject of vocational
training, is bound to attract atten-
tion and to find many friends. Per-
sons who objected to it on the
ground that it interferes with
state control of education will be
brought to realize that national
movement Of this sort cannot safely
be left to forty-five different Com
monwealths. The bills provisions,
anyway, do not interfere with State
jurisdiction of its educational insti-
tutions, but simply offer it aid in
the same way that aid is given
State agricultural colleges.
Even the labor unions recognize
the need of such training, and, con-
trary to their effort in some direc.
tions Of trying to limit the recruits
in skilled trades, the American
Federation Of Labor has long sup
ported the movement for Federal
aid to vocational study. The meas
ure to be introduced as the Smith.
Hughes bill should be expected to
command the support Of both labor
and capital interests. and it will re.
dound to the benefit of both.

FAIRGROUNDS IN WINTER

A distinct forward step for Wash
ington Fairgrounds was taken to-
day with their opening for q fall
and early winter season. For some
time even the summer playground
was regarded as an experiment. But
the summer playground IL here TO
stay. So successful has it been that
its continuance through the fall and
early winter is assured Of success
ut the start.
For relief from the school room,
and to avoid too much staying in
the house in the cooler months, the
playground is an excellent correct
i've. Scores of games and sports
have been worked up which will
keep the children active and warm
while on the grounds. The problem
Of the gang" that gathers on the
streets after school is solved by the
innovation.
II is to be hoped the winter play
grounds will receive the same sup
port from the community and from
those interested in the work as the
summer ones did.
