BARRIERS

The annual state convention of the
Journeymen BARRIERS Colorado State As
sociation will meet in Denver next Mon
day morning at Q o'clock. The sessions
will be held in the assembly room of the
Building Trades club, 1871 Arapahoe
street. Thomas o. Spacy OF Denver is
president and Ed. Anderson of Pueblo,
secretary treasurer. The state BARRIERS
board of examiners will attend the con-
vention. Charles Goodfrend, Phil Stru-
bel and John L. Connolly. There are
fourteen local unions in the state and
each will have its full quota OF delegates
present. Representation is based on one
delegate for 100 members. The Denver
union will have three delegates.
Inasmuch as Colorado BARRIERS are well
organized and have good conditions, moth
ing OF vital importance to the craft is
expected. During the last session of the
legislature an attempt to repeal the
state BARRIERS license law was defeated.
This law and diligent work of the board
has resulted in enforcing high standard
of sanitation in all the shops, thus pro-
tecting the public against the danger OF
infectious diseases. The Sunday clos
ing law in strictly observed in every part
of the state.
Members of the union are paid week
lv sick benefit of SO and therefore never
become subjects of charity. In addition
to this each union has relief committees
that render additional aid to members
or their families when needed.
During the month of April a referen-
dunn vote was taken throughout the in
formation jurisdiction requiring all 10
Gals to affiliate with state associations
This carried by a good majority. Colo
RADIO BARRIERS were the pioneers in the es-
tablishment of state associations and the
splendid benefits accruing therefrom
caused the international union to take
the matter up and such organizations
are now made mandatory throughout
the United States.

affiliation with the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly two months ago. I'm
der this decision the union will have its
old roster of delegates present at the
next meeting of the Assembly, Sunday,

tive officers of the union We're instructed
to write a letter to President Wilson up
holding the action of Chairman Frank p.
Walsh of the industrial commission and
commencing him for his good work in
the investigation relating to the Colorado
coal strike.

the union proud BY the way in which
they turned out in the Lawson protest
parade Saturday night. Two-thirds of
the membership We're in the line of
march.
Secretary j. w. Sanford reports that
work in local factories is improving. due
to the home industry movement. Only

Don't use the word rheumatism"
for 1t means nothing. The same may
be said of ''neurosis." According to
DR.. Louis Casamajor, chief Of the Van
derbilt Clinic and instructor in neu-
rology at Columbia university, in On
address at Bloomingdale hospital. New
York, rheumatism" Is a term which
has been spread. in popular and in.
deed in medical use. in such q thin
layer to cover such a large number
of conditions that 1t has ceased long

and conveys now no more real mean
ing than does the original word pain
for which 1t is substituted. The same
may be said of 'neuritis. merely an.
other way Of saying pain-an explana-
ton which explains nothing, and when
combined with the foregoing In 'rheu-
matte neurosis' we have a term of sui.
ficient inaccuracy to satisfy the most
fastidious neurotic."
Doctor Casamajor went on to assert
critical study of a neurotic per-
sons talk quickly reveals the fact
that 1t Is q wealth of details with no
point for II he should get the

Possibly he might be something
worse" Doctor Casamajor calls neu-
rosis an asset. Every neurotic has
something to gain by being q neu-

this element OF gain disappears.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultureo
Despite the fact that the only fruit
which equals the persimmon In food
value is the date many persons who
have persimmon trees on their land
are making no use of them. and there
has been comparatively little effort
made to develop the trees commercial
ly. In a new bulletin, Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 685 of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, some OF the
many uses to which the fruit can be
put are described and methods OF
propagating the trees discussed.
The persimmon is found in large
numbers over the southeastern quar-
ter of the United States and in some
places as far west as Iowa and east
ern Nebraska, and as far north as
Rhode Island. New York and Michi-
gan. The real persimmon belt. how
ever. may be said to extend from
Maryland. Virginia and the Carolinas
westward through Missouri and Ar
kansas. Where the tree is most abun-
dant there is considerable prejudice
against 1t because of the persistency
with which the young sprouts come up
in cultivated fields, and also because
of the pickering astringent effect of
the unripe fruit. There is a saying
that persimmons are good for dogs.
hogs and 'possums," but this is unjust
to q product which can be made very
useful to man.
At the present time q few growers
in the persimmon belt who have easy
access to markets in large cities have
built up quite a considerable demand
for persimmons. and the wild fruit can
also be sometimes purchased during
the autumn and early winter. A num-
Der of nurserymen also sell Seeding
trees for ornamental planting. for
which they are very effective. and
few have special varieties developed
for the production Of the fruit.
One obstacle to the more general
use Of persimmons is the mistaken
idea that they are not fit to eat until
they have been touched by frost In
consequence many persimmons which
ripen and fall to the ground before
frost comes are allowed to 60 to waste.
As a matter of fact. 1t may be said
in general that the best varieties are
those which ripen just before the trees
shed their leaves. II a persimmon is
not edible before frost. it is simply
because the variety happens to be a
late one and the fruit is not ripe. In
order to be on the safe side. however.
It is recommended in the bulletin al
ready mentioned that housewives who
are using persimmon pulp in the prep
aration of bread. cakes and other

ton. are uninterested, inattentive, un-
ambitious, and, as a rule. fault-finding.
They do not make an effort to use
what nature has given them. They
waste their time and their talents.
They are indolent; they perform the
duties prescribed, but avoid RESPONSE
bility; they do not love their work. and
they do what they have to do as auto
matically as machines. Few of them
think intently. and most Of them are
not amenable to reason. They are
always looking at the clock, seldom
realizing that automatic action In itself
does not stand for promotion. or for
more than ordinary accomplishment.
Because they do not make strenuous
effort, because they do not do their
best, their ability. even though it may
be great. is below par in every market.
They begin as clerks. and remain
clerks. seldom rising above subordi-
nate positions. allowing others OF no
greater ability to supersede them.
1t is obvious that ability is not dis
tributed equitably-or at any rate does
not appear to be-and some men are
undoubtedly able to do things which
others cannot accomplish; but 1t is
nevertheless an indisputable fact that
those who try and try hard. even
though they may possess only ordi-
nary capacity. outpoint those OF
greater ability who plod along dissat-
isfied with everything save themselves.

he works. Every effort he makes

dishes, add one-half teaspoonful of
baking soda to each cupful of pulp in
all recipes In which the pulp is heat
ed. This removes whatever astrin-
gency there may be in the fruit and
does away with all risk of a puckered
mouth. A number of practical recipes
calling for the use of persimmon pulp
are contained in the bulletin.
In the propagation of the persim-
mon. certain precautions that are nec-
essary in the case of the other fruits
should be observed. Seeds gathered
for propagating purposes should be
stratified at once. If they are allowed
to dry out it is often necessary to
soak them for two or three days before
they are planted. boiling water being
used for the purpose. The seed bed
in which the seedlings are grown
should be well drained with rather
light soil and good supply of humus.
The ground should be deep plowed in
order to permit the penetration of the
long taproots which are characteristic
of the tree.
The roots of persimmon trees sprout
readily when the top is semoved and
this accounts for the persistence at
times Of clumps of sprouts in fields
where they are not wanted. 1t also
enables small pieces of roots six or
eight inches long to be used for propa-
eating. The ends of the roots should
be sealed with grating wax or pitch in
order to prevent decay. and the pieces
buried in sand through the winter. II
the moisture supply is plentiful they
spring. Cuttings of branches may be
used in the same way as the root cut
tings.
In cases where is Is desirable to
graft, the operation is usually most
successful II 1t is put OF until the trees
have definitely started into new
growth. 1t is also of the utmost i'm
portance that the cut surface Of both
bark and wood be protected with as
little delay as possible from exposure
to the air. Grating wax, waxed cloth
or similar devices are used to afford
the necessary protection. The various
methods of grating are discussed in
some detail in the new bulletin.
In addition to the value of the fruit
for household purposes, persimmon
wood is used to a large extent by
manufacturers of cotton mill supplies,
who make bobbins from 1t. It is also
used for shoe lasts. The live trees
are in considerable demand for shade
and ornamental purposes and one au-
thority states that as a shade tree on
private grounds the persimmon com.
pares favorably with any of the other
species in this country.
