of another industrial war such as that
of the present year.
Lord is hopeful that the men IN the
Arizona mines will now make their
unionism 100 per cent, and will see to
it that every detail of organization is
developed, so that there shall be no
leaning upon the arm of the govern
ment, but a confident self-reliance
that will be steadied by direct respon-
sibility for everything done.
More Burns Mooching.
The William J. Burns detective
agency has just sent out to employers
a circular letter and alleged review of
the labor situation, both of them
aimed to induce employers to pay S25
for set of confidential reports by
two delegates in Burns employ, on
the work of committee during the
Buffalo convention. The letter sug
claimed by Burns to be his employees

done in all important committee meet
ings, and in secret conferences.

vention having a dozen big commit
tees realizes how silly is this promise.
to get the happenings in those com
mittees reported by two men. But
the offer is not to be compared to the
column-long review of alleged
conditions in the American Fedora
ton of Labor which some ignoramus
has written up for Burns. It is an
insult to the intelligent credulity of
even a Southern employer.
President Gompers says that there
is nothing new in this Burns propo-
sition; he presented evidence of
similar scheme, two years ago, before
the Walsh commission. He thinks so
little of il that he spoke in New York.

PLUCKY GIRLS RAISE WAGES.

Plucky telephone girls tied up the
system of the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company in Oklahoma and
forced that corporation to establish a
minimum wage of $40 month instead
of the former average rates of $5.10
and Sc week. At public meeting
in the courthouse at Sapulpa trade
unionists and other citizens gave
pledges that would guarantee the
girls weekly strike benefit and it
was declared that no homes should be
open to strikebreakers. For week
Sapulpa was without telephone serv-
ice and citizens drove five miles to
secure long distance service.

QUAKER CITY A LEADER

Ten Ysars Ago Philadelphia Was With
 out Public Fairgrounds, but Now lt
 Is the Second City In tho Country In
 Number and Equipment of Reersa-
 tion Ceuters.
 The manner in which the playground movement Is spreading In popular favor Is exempllfed by what has been done Sp the city of Philadelphia.
 Philadelphia. which ten years ago was without public playgrOunds, is now the second city in the country in the number and equipment of her child recreation centers, the only city su- perior in this respect being Chicago.
 This was brought out in a recent re- port of Montgomery Harris, president of the Fairgrounds association. He said the association now had thirty playgrounds in operation In various parts of the city and that nine addi- tional ones would be opened this sum- mer. Sites have already been selected at Twenty-fOurth and Jackson streets. Seventeenth and Fitzwater streets, Six teenth and Wingohocking streets, in stenton park, Frsnkford avenue and Berks street, and Nineteenth street and Fairmount avenue. Several Of these will be equipped with swimming pools and provided with swimming h. struCtOrS.
 "Our goal is to open and operate at least seventy-fve playgrounds," said Mir. Harris. "As yet there are great sections where we have not been able to purchase or rent a suitable loca' tiOn."

Mystery of Bird Flight.

A curious fact concerning birds Is that the tip of the wing moves at prac- tically the same speed in every species. This Is $50 feet per minute, or nearly seven and a half miles per hour. Whether 1t Is the tiny wren or the huge stork, the rule holds good, and even the bee comes within 1t. Thus the bee has a wing only a quarter of an inch long, the sparrow's wing is four inches and the stork's twenty-seven. But the bees wing beats 11,4OO times in a minute, the sparrow's T2O and the stOrks only 1O5 times. If you multiply together the length of the wing and the number of beats you will get almost exactly the same result In the three caseS-namely, stork, 2,S35; bee, 2,sJO; sparrow, 2,SSO. But if ever a machine Is made to fly like a bird 1t will have to develop far more energy than these figures stand for. A bicd's energy of flight Is not so great as Is supposed. Although such skillful fliers when alOft, many birds cannot rise from level ground.-LondOn Answers.

A little flag worn on the left lapel O. the coat is the badge worn by members Of The Grain Savers League, recently started in the East. The members, iu order to conserve the food materials of the Nation, pledge not to drink, buy, accept, sell T give away any intoxicating liquor" during the period of the present war. They believe any man can close the saloon between his own nose and chin, and the Suprem Court of the United States cannot declare the act unconstitutional. " The appeal is made especially to those men who ''can drink or let it alone" and as the League has no Headquarters, fees or dues, the signer is asked to file the pledge with nis wife, "Or somebody else who knows how much your word of honor is really worth"

will only be because he doesn't look around, according to J. L, Mason, new Iy appointed supervisor of recreation for Philadelphia's playgrOunds.
 And if there is not a total attendance of 5,OOO,OOO at the playgrounds this year, Mir. Mason says, he is a bad guesser.
 Despite the menace of infantile "a. ralysis during the greater part of last spring and summer, more than 3,50O,- 900 were on the city playsrounds. This year about 100000 children are expect ed to be, enrolled in classes.
 The new supervisor predicts that the coming season will be the most success ful in the history of the playground movement.
 Skating Rinks Next Winter.
 "Next winter there will he six new outdoor skating rinks free to the pub lie on playErOunds," said Mir Mason. By the use of the sprinkler system We will have fresh surface ready for the skaters every morning during the cold weather.
 Another facility for recreation for which there Is need and which we will install as soon as we can, Is running track. There should be at least one cinGer running track in the city open to boys and young men who are not members of any large club. Herman Meyer. the president of the 4. A. U. of the middle states, already has offered to help the boys who use the play grounds by securing coaches to give their services without pay from among the best athletes in the city"
 MT. Mason Is au enthusiastic believer in the playgroundS as q cure for many of the ills city humanity Is heir to. He said: Give the boys and girls and men and women who have to live and work under hard conditions the choice of wholesome recreation. such as our centers and playgrounds offer, or the street corner and the saloon. and there's no question which nine out of ten will choose. Just give them the choice.
 Its the same way with the older folk-they like to come to the play grounds for q swim on hot summers night, or to join folk dancing or so- cial dancing class. as many older wO' men do, or to sit on q bench and smoke a pipe Cthat is. the mem and just take it easy after alhard days work.
 And it's not the poor people only who come to us. If you want to know your neighbOr. rich or poor. and roll the years or your shoulders, 1t does not matter whether you are old O. young, immigrant or native, power in the community or an uuknown'-there Is common ground on the playground"
