We WANT NONE OF 1T
canadian Unsuited TO This Country.

IN 1907 the Canadian Industrial Dis
putes Investigations Act, known as the
LeinletiX Act, was enacted after coal
strike IN the mines of Alberta. Public
attention had been directed to the dis
comforts OF interference with the fuel
supply; the rights of the public" were
urged as paramount. The Lemetlx Act
was adopted to prevent similar interfer-
ences IN the future. The act was notably
Tor the purpose of compelling industrial
peace, and it ignored the fundamental
causes that result in strikes, lockouts.
and industrial unrest.
When the law was adopted, those who
understood pointed out the grave dan
gers it portended to the workers. They
were Justiiiably apprehensive that under
the law the freedom of the workers to
protect themselves and to promote their
best interests would be seriously restrict
ed and jeopardized; the majority of the
workers did not see the dangers at first,
but slowly, as different groups of work.
ers have had practical experience with
the workings of the law, and have seen
how it has been applied to restrict their
freedom and to interfere with move
ments for better conditions of life and
work, there have been an increasing
sentiment against the act and a more
general determination to secure its re-
peal. AS year after year the matter has
been discussed in the Canadian Trades
and Labor Congress, opposition to the
act has been voiced, but this sentiment
did not secure sufficient strength to re-
suit in the Congress taking action con-
demning the law and asking for its re-
peal until the act had, through the ex-
erclse OF discretionary power on the
part OF the government been extended
to vastly increased number of workers.
AS a war measure, the Lemeux Act
had been extended to apply to all work
ers in munition factories. This amend
ment of legislation by the executive au-
thorities resulted in a greatly increased
number of wage-earners finding out
from actual experience how the act op-
Grated, and thereby becoming convinced
that the law was contrary not only to
their own best interests, but to the best
of the Dominion.
national Association of Machinists, in
troduced an amendment in that CONGRESS
denouncing the Lemieux Act in its en-
.irety. This resolution, together with
several other motions dealing with the
same subject, brought the Lemieux Act
before the Dominion Congress and re-
suited in an intensely interesting de-
bate In the course Of the debate the
speakers related their experiences with
the Industrial Disputes Act which de-
termined them to demand the repeal of
the law.
One of the most recent experiences
was that of the Thetford asbestos
miners. These miners perform vau-
able service to their government in the
time of war, as is shown by the fact that
there are proportionately more fatalities
in the open pits in which they work than

Mildrew on Linen

Do you know anything that will re- move mildew spots from white linen dress? They are like pin dots; just enough to spoil it for white dress. do not want to dye it. if it be possible to remove the spots READER"
 In the case of mildewed linen rub to- gether equal parts of white soap Gold castle is besD and powdered chalk. Make soft paste of these with lemon juice and coat the linen on both sides thickly with the the paste. Lay in the hot sun for several hours wetting hour ly with the lemon juice. Wash off the coating with clear water, and if any signs of the mildew remain, repeat the application. If obstinate, requiring more drastic measures, try this method: Make a thick paste of salt and buttermilk and cover the mildew with it. Lay in the hot sun for day. renewing the paste at the end of four hours. If obstinate. repeat next day. Should a trace of the stain remain cyanide of potassium will eradi- cate it. Moisten the spot with water rub in the powder, and lay in the sun for four hours, moistening the place at least twice during this time. Cyanide of pot assium is a deadly poison if taken in- ternally.

ANN HAvILAND

little old sassy" nose had been neglected when I was little bitty'; it was just stuck on my little old, ugly face like a putty thing and left there-the only time I ever used it being to turn it up out rageously, whenever I smell cabbage boiling or onions frying.
 Now-it has begun it's education and Mrs Haviland is responsible for my little old noses rapid improvement and she and I both have hopes that some day 1t will be a perfectly good well bred, little nose that will do it's duty nobly; in fact, I may say, it is lon it's way"
 Why, many noses don't even know how to smell flower!'' Mrs. Haviland announced, disgustedly.
 ''Well-how should a nose smell a flower?" asked, meekly, with a picture tucked way back in my mind of "The Woman and the Rose" which was very lovely.
 Most people crush a flower against their nose and smell it for dear life,'' she said That's cruel; odor should be car ried by air current, and the flower should be held at a distance Haven you noticed that you can small better in the open air than in a close room? Better than all this, people should smell witf the DdCk Ol lH6IT ltduS, pSllulilS Ido di intellectual appeal if people only knew 1t A few years ago D'Annunzio, Ballst and Ida Rubenstein, representing poetry, color and dancing, added perfumes to their list and made me the fourth member of their artistic quartette. D'Annunzio gave me four formulas that he had gotten from Arabia, the formulas the Ancients used ir that exotic country, nobody else has them and they were a revelation to me I studied them; I found that brains as well as a sense of smell, had been used in the working out of those formulas and I fairly reveled in them. The dis tillates called for verte-verte balsam myrrh and other woods, from which the most exquisite ordors are made"
 Men adore perfumes, deny it as they may,' Mrs. Haviland said presently ''They don't like the cheap sort, of course but a true perfume they love. I usually give them verte-verte, put up in Chi. nese jars, with big, manish labels. I al ways suggest that they wear this sort when they come to me done up in 1aven der and lilac out of their wives perfume bottles
 "As an art, how does perfume rank with other arts?' I asked
 "Perfuming follows futurist art" Mrs Havland said quickly. By that I mear the color side of futurjst art I am per fectly mad about color, and as I think

color harmony, think perfume harmony. Do I make myself clear? Take Peiret's colors, for instance, they are what call true colors, and in exactly the way me achieves trueness in color, try to achieve futurist art. Nor my perfumes but when they are educated, they do; all people do not like lettuce, yet lettuce is very good vegetable
 ''Yes, many of my customers have to be educated-they come to me because know how to educate their sense of smell,' Mrs. Haviland said Some of them are almost hopeless at first, they want lilac perfumes because the lilac trees are pretty and smell sweet. they want violet because the violet is dainty and has nice ordor. These you see, at least have possibility because their olfactory organs have not been entirely neglected; still, it's long, long, way to travel before the sense of smell in Amer ica will be what it should be-what it is in the orient, and what it is in Europe.'
 There is one function of odors that we all get, though, and that's the function of association" Mrs. Elaviland said in conclusion. We remember our friends by the perfumes they wear, often better than by the clothes they wear; just as we remember them by the quality of their voices We will undoubtedly grow to ap- precate our noses more as use them more-in other words when we find out that they are not entirely for ornament"
 Mrs. Haviland is a southern woman, from the eastern shore of Maryland, and she was raised as we say in our pretty southern way in an old-fashioned rose garden and there she learned the sense of smell, she worked among the posies and loved them and saw the marvellous possibilities of transferring their fra grance to perfumes, she has her own laboratory and makes everything that goes into her artistic exclusive perfumes. The bottles Mrs Haviland uses for hold ing the perfumes are as lovely as the contents, they are modelled after an old design that was brought to her from Mount Carmel Syria, and it is authenti- cally stated that the designs is over 2000 years old

 The easiest and most rapid way to whip cream is with an ordinary old- fashioned wire egg whip. Put the cream into a shallow dish and set in the icebox until thoroughly chilled Into half pint stir two teaspoons of sugar an begin at once to beat with regular, steady strikes, not removing the froth as it forms but whipping until the cream is thick, stiff, smooth mass.
