LABOR BODY PLANNING TO GET FAIR PLAY
FROM THE LEGISLATURE NEXT SESSION

4 NOlIV4 i III LLO4OLGA
Plans for a practical campaign
which it is hoped will result in lab9r
getting it's just dues from the 1917
state legislature were laid at the
meeting of the Chicago Federation
of Labor yesterday.
Instead of waiting until within a
few weeks before the primaries till
it begins its political campaign, the
federation plans to start right now
installing the machinery necessary to
correct the evils that have been work
ing against labor in Springfield.
In future the Illinois union labor
movement is not going to wait until
the legislators are in their chairs un-
til it's begins talking its wants. 1t is
going to begin right away. It already
knows what it wants and it will start
now in finding men who will play fair
with it.
The basis of the start of the cam
paign will be a 73-page report of the
joint labor legislative board, which
was submitted to the federation yes
terday. After telling who voted
against and who for labOr's bills in
the last legislature, the joint board
proposes some resolutions which are
intended to do away with most of the
existing evils.
Here are some of the things the
joint legislative board asked for in
its report:
A permanent committee of six &C
tive workers to thoroughly organize
each district in the state.
The keeping by the state of steno-
graphic records of everything said at
legislative and committee meetings.
Defeat of the measure which would
grant railway passes to legislators.
Election of the speaker of the
house by vote of the people.
Enforcement of lobby laws against
representatives of manufacturers and

could vote for bill and not a single

was one shy of the required majority.

votes cast in favor of the anti-in-
junction bill and not one in oppOsi-
ton, yet the bill was lost.

it might be possible to get a speaker

COMPOSITIONS BY MEMoLI
Will Be Played at St. Paul's and Ad-
 vent Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday two works com posed by Philip Memoli will be heard in Birmingham. one at St. Paurs of the Advent. At St. Paups the beau tiful festival mass, written and per formed here before Mir. Memoli went abroad to study and revised since his return home will be sung by choice of 35 voices. with orchestral accom- paniment, under the baton of the com poser. Mrs. c. J. Severin will have the role of solo soprano.
 The other work--a Te Deum-one of the principal musical ca9ticles of the Episcopal service, is entirely new. It is dedicated to Prof. Fred s. Grambs, organist and choirmaster of the Advent It will be sung by fine sor Grambs in speaking of MT. Mem olfs composition. said
 Tt is one of the most churchly Te Deum's to come to my notice. Like Wagner's text to his music MT. Mem oli has carried out the themes and motifs in such . manner as to man ifcst the text of the Te Deum, giving solemn and praise positions of the can ticle which so often diagonally oppose each other in musical works and caused, no doubt, by the writer's lack ing in religious life and thought"
 MT. Memoli and MT. Chalifoux were present at a recent rehearsal and ex- pressed themselves highly gratlfied with the ensemble of the choir, re- marking especially on the even balanc- ing of the voices on the whole. The solos by Madame Kern Mullen and Mrs. L. O. Stephenson were especially compiimented by Mr. Memoli

to do things that appeal to her interests. and especially where the weaker natures
 are concerned, the forces of times unite with her. and circumstances even to give the opportunity.
 Mrs. Searight has never lost sight of the interests of the down and out" woman.
 She has talked 'woman's detention home" until 1t is certainty, and now this ter rible emergency of habitual "opium eaters" has brought the home furnished equipped and occupied already. Mrs. c. P. Orr has placed at her dis posal for the purpose the Pisgah Home, and is cooperating with her in this noble work.
 The men, women and children of this community are not going to let them fail in so good cause.
 In an indefinite way these women have been supported by the public heretofore. Weakened morally and mentally, they 1 have been holding out their hands to you
 on the streets, or knocking on your door for help. Their pitiful plight has made you yield in giving to them personally, giving again and again. Now they are the
 charges of the welfare department of the city-a department organized to help the unfortunate woman, and now that depart nlent has ripened in it's usefulness, and these women have a shelter from the storms of outrageous circumstances-is if not our charge to keep and maybe at less cost than before?
 Only yesterday we heard MT. McNeei. superintendent of education of Jefferson county, pleading with the men for the | better care of the women that they might make better mothers and rear stronger children He spoke practically of her duties, and lack of conveniences in the rural home, and outlined a sys- tenn of building. heating, lighting and
 waterworlSs available today that the housekeeper might not be overworked, overburdened During this splendid i'm struction I just wished those sturdy farmers could see some of the wrecked
 women in Birmingham today and they would know the need of the preservation of the mothers-the protection from over
 work and despair. that they in town might give even better service to their loved ones.
 Every woman that is so blighted in her life has some terrible recompense with which to satisfy her own conscience, some of them are right and many are wrong. If you trace the story back and give consistent thought you will always find there is something lacking in the home. Something wanting in the founda- tion of their life--a missing lesson in their childhood, perhaps. Whatever the cause. they must be forgiven-the world has grown broad and great and holds out hope and help to the wanderers of every kind today.

 Searight does not dream she is earnest
 and we read by her actions her purpose

 flaming our faces. we drove to ..Pisgah Home.' The gate swung wide to let in were weary and worn.
 The great trees overhanging broad walks told the purpose of the place-rest and rebuild. The body has quivered from want, and the brain has struggled with it's heart stories for many a wanderer there. At once you enter there comes the feeling
 Come in the evening, or come in the
 morning,
 Come when you're looked for or come
 without warning"
 Entering the living room, adjoining the dormitory, we found good Mrs. Wood, the matron in charge, expecting us, but we arrived too late for the evening serv ice, which had just closed. The quiet seriousness of the occasion pervaded the surroundings. Seven women were mak- ing ready for the Twilight Sleep used by pr. whelan in his late discovery to cure them of their dope habits, and Dr. Hinkle had read the service and offered prayer.
 These feeble women, who, through some reasonable excuse to themselves, have wasted away with the dreaded drug, and voluntarily were making ready for the cure, hope that they might start fresh and make good their remaining days, and Is it not great that there is a woman s hand held out to lead and lift them?
 As we saw Mrs. Searght bending over each of them, in turn, giving them the tender care that can only emanate from a genuine case of human nature, there came to me the words of Goldsmith: Careless their merits, or their faults

SPECIAL SERVICES AT TEMPLE EMANUEL
Celebration of Feast of Passover Begins T0mOr-
 row Night

The celebration of the feast of the Passover, one of the greatest of the holi- days in the Jewish calendar will begin tomorrow at sundown in Hebrew homes all over the world. There will be special services at Temple Emanu-El at o'clock and again Tuesday morning at 1o:3o. A public Seder will be celebrated at the temple Tuesday evening at o'clock for the benefit of those who have no such service at home. The public is invited to all services A special musical pro- gramme has been prepared by the choir under the direction of Emile Levy.
 The following is issued by the Central Conference of American Rabbis on the Passover:
 Passover (Pesach) is the seven days festival observed by the Jew in the early spring in commemoration of the exodus from Egypt In ancient Jewish life, 1t was the first of the three Pilgrim festi- vals upon which every male Jew was required to present himself in person at the central sanctuary in Jernsalem All though the Passover has certain features in common with the universal spring fes- tival it is its historical significance which gives it lasting vitality.
 Tt is the great independence day of the Jew; the first event in his national his tory, an event which became funda- mental in all his thinking, too, as evil denced by the frequent references to the great deliverance.
 "The festival is ushered in by family service called the Seder. at which cer- tain symbolic ceremonies are observed. Each participant-and the lowliest is priv ileged to sit at the table that night-is required to drink four cups of wine, in memory of the four promises made by the Eternal to redeem Israel from bond age.
 "On the table are the unleavened cakes (Afatzos), the shin-bone of a lamb (roasted on the coals), commemorative Of the Paschal sacrifice, a roasted egg, a mix ture of apples and nuts (Charosethy, to symbolize the mortar with which the .Egyptfans made bitter the lives Of the fathers. and bitter herbs (Maror), remin- iscent of the unhappy days in Egypt
 .In song and story the tale of the op- pression and the deliverance is rehearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving (HalleD, strike the keynote of the happy occasion The services interrupted for the family dinner, closes with a number of merry folk- songs, expressive of the character or the celebration.
 "During the week of the festival, un-. leavened bread is eaten instead or the usual leayen. In orthodox homes, great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the beginning of the fes- tival Sets of dishes, otherwise unused, are provided.
 ''Services are held in the synagogues and sermons preached in keeping with the thoughts of the festival. Excerpts from, or in some cases, the whole of the book of the Song of Songs are read.

AN OLD RECIPE
 ID DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray; also ends dandruff. itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays. we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get . large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as 1t does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after an- other application or two. your hair be- comes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years younger.
