Cash Contributions Made.

Cash contributions were made yester-
day, despite the fact that money is not
being asked for in the membership
campaign. The contributions included
a 800 liberty loan bond from Victor Kauff
mann. $50 contribution from Harry
Wheaton Howard and a 500 bill in
payment of 50 membership from a
man who would not give his name. 1t
was decided that these contributions
should be expended for memberships
to be given various persons, includ-
ing many of the young women in the
department stores, who have CO.
operated with the woman workers in
the store booths.
Various business houses and hotels
have shown the workers every cour-
tesy. The Congress Hall Hotel invited
all the uniformed women stationed
there to luncheon and dinner, and set
aside restroom and bath for their
use.
With the various departments
themselves competition is developing.
especially among the branches of the
Department of Commerce, where the
employees of the bureau of fisheries, the
bureau of standards, theocoast and
geodetic survey and employees of the
main building are seeking to set
record in percentages of members. The
fisheries bureau reported that seventy
one of eighty employees now in Wash
ington have been enrolled.

sad days, their properties and their

labor OF capital organizes, it is precisely
to be sure of the better and escape the

None will disagree that this is sNmptemat-

the machine and his soul is stifled, then
it is clear that the industrial air Is I'M

1t is clear that more and more, and less

gression, n striving and Il striving and an
ultimate ending in nothing.
But if we apply the rule to the first ar
rived of the workers, to those who have
become rich and powerful. do We not find
the common denomination? Is or is not the

fesslonal men how much they get out of

Thin-Lipped Americans.
From the New York Tribune.

In the varying descriptions of our SOL
diers that drift back from France and
England thin Tipped" is becoming a stock
phrase. Just as we might talk Of the
'swarthy Neapolitan'' or the blond Prus-
slan' or the dark eyed Spaniard.' our
friends abroad are beginning to sum up
our whole army under the one adjective
characterizing our lips.
We who ride i'm the subway-or know
amy large American city-may see the
humor OF such a summary as its chief
characteristic Goodness knows how many
Americans We have of utterly varying
types. Not one adjective. but 20. would
be needed to classify all the lips in one
I-enoN avenue subway car during rus
hours.
But such national tags go by the ma
)oflty. or even a minority. if its salient
characteristic happens to be the most out
standing national detail of p~hysiognomy.
I'm" blond Englishman, for example. is a
by no means prevailing type in England;
yet he has stood in the eyes of many
Americans as the one typical English
man. The sandy Scot may be a better

picion that our being a clean shaver ma
ton has something to do with the atten-
ton which is directed toward our upper
lips-for it is the upper lip that counts

of Washington: think of that tightest

Tipped does not fit him exactly. Yet it 10
not 80 far from the mark If we are aim

look. rather than specific detail.
Whence comes the tight American lip
From Puritanism and the whole Yanke
upbringing. We submit at a guess. And as
the Yankee is still the one American type
of which Europe has taken general cog
nizance. it is altogether probable that pre-
conceived expectations OF thin lips helped
to their discovery in our first forces.
When the wal is a little older and more OF
our men are i'm the field, other American
types may fight their way to publicity.

We went the other evening to a meeting
of the Dakota farmers held in New York
city. The northwestern league has be-
come we'll known as a successful class en-
terprise: the Minneapolis middlemen have
had pretty hard shedding against the or
ganized effort of the farmers. We did
not expect to gain any freshly illumined
view of the labor situation from the
meeting: We merely happened to go. We
were fully prepared to hear the speaker
denounce the distributors and spectators
and profiteers-all those who live off"
the unholy arrangement which separates
by many profits the producer from the
consumer. and we listened with little
enough attention until a phrase came

One thing is plain: the social patholo-
