LABOR NOT DEFIANT,
BUT DETERMINED
Samuel Gompers Reviews
Work of Fifty Years at
Testimonial Banquet.
WILSON SENDS REGRETS

New York, Jan. 29.-Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, received one OF the
greatest ovations Of his career when
he arose to speak early today at the
close of a testimonial dinner attended
BY more than 1000 labor leaders
from all parts of the country. Mr..
Gompers urged organized wor kmen
to think about peace, to work Tor
peace and to pray for peace.
Labor stands with its shoulders
squared" he said, mot defiant, but
determined. The protest against con-
ditions that work hardships must not
be diverted for moment"
The labor leader declared that while
he could leave his children no for
tune, he would leave better labor con-
ditions under which they would not
find it so hard to live as he had
| found it when he first entered the in
dustrial fields. After every great time
of strife and destruction, he said,
there was corresponding reaction
which affected the mass OF the peo-
pie.
The dinner marked the sixty-sev-
enth anniversary of Mr.. Gomper's
birth, the completion of his fifty years
of service in the cause of union labor
and his golden wedding anniversary.
President Wilson sent letter of
greeting and congratulations. In ex-
pressing regret for his inability to at
tend the dinner the president said:
"Unhappily | have been obliged to
deny myself every pleasure of this
kind because of imperative duties
which fall upon me every day while
the congress is in session"
The speakers included James Dun
can, vice president Of the American
Federation OF Labor; Hugh Frayne,
general organizer; Frank Morrison,
secretary; Warren S. Stone, grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers; John Mitchell, chair
man of the New York state industrial
commission; Alton B. Parker and sew
eral others. 1t was nearly 3 o'clock
when Mr.. Gompers made the conclud-
ing remarks.

We believe LAX-OLA is without ques-
ton the best remedy ever originated for
constipation. sluggish liver, biliousness, as
well as for colds. headaches and other
conditions due to clogging of the intes-
final tract. Its users evidently agree
with us-judging from the. steadily in
creasing sales. and from the numerous
letters of praise which come to us. We
would like to have the virtues of LAX
OLA known TO every person in the land
who ever has need for laxative. A
good slogan. or catch phrase would
aid considerably in attracting the atten-
ton of possible users and in inducing
them to try our product.
On every box of this preparation are
the words Lax-ola-the Key to Health"
to anayze it-for the proper removal of
a constipated condition means the re-
moval also Of various other troubles and
symptoms. Yet we believe someone can
suggest more effective and convincing
slogan. Perhaps something that will give
a better idea of what LAX-0LA is or
what it does. Perhaps something that
will impress the reader at a glance with
the fact that LAX-oLA is really differ
ent"-better-entirely out of the class of
the usual laxatives and purgatives. Some
thing that will make people want LAX
OLA the instant they read your slogan.

Special knowledge Wins

When proposed revised paving spe-
cihcations were considered by the city
council committee Of the whole, Com
missioner Parks put a finger in the
pie. He was a paving contractor be-
fore he entered public life. He op-
posed City Engineer Bruce on the
proposition OF providing for a sand
cushion between concrete base and
surface OF brick pavementsJ
The city engineer explained that
the sand and cement filler serves to
provide an even base for the brick.
Mr.. Parks said the filler had no prac-
teal value and even showed wherein
it should not be allowed in the new
specifications.
The specifications were referred
back to the city engineering depart
ment for further consideration.

FIND FISH ALREADY BROlLED
Volcanic Peak in South American
Andes Throws Out Dainty Morsels
Which Indians Appreciate.

There is a volcanic peak in the
South American Andes that serves
broiled fish for breakfast. Not infre-
quently they also are on the bill of
fare for luncheon, and dinner as we'll.
This peak is called the Tunghurahua,
and is regarded as a special instru-
ment Of the gods by Indians living in
the vicinity.
They believe that when an eruption
takes place, running their crops and
perhaps sweeping away their homes,
the mystic spirit of the Tungurahua
provides the broiled fish so that they
will not want. But the scientific ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat different.
Far underneath the mouth Of the
volcano is a subterranean lake. When
the volcano begins to spout flame and
lava the suction draws up tons of wa
ter, carrying along the fish, which are
cooked by the inferno they pass
through. After an eruption the In
dians find thousands of the fish in the
ashes and lava from the volcano, and
many Of these are just crisp enough
for dainty breakfast.
