THE PUBLIC FORUM
"cLoSED SHOP UNIoNISM."-
The booklet, CLOSED Shop Union
ism,' was given to me by friend for
the purpose of anatomization. AS
stated before, the booklet is mislead-
ing.
When it falls into the hands of I'M
organized workers it merely leaves
a black mark on unions. Many
workers, even union men, look with
suspicion upon officers of the unions,
due to the fact that their minds are
being continually poisoned by the
kept press. They take everything
for granted; never bother to inVesti-
gate.
They cannot even vote intelligent
ly at their elections, because they are
not even acquainted with brother
members who would qualify for
Office. They often vote for a man
because he is a good fellow, or a
lodge brother, regardless of his abiI-
ity. Then when things go wrong
they are the hOwlers. They blame
the officers, when in reality they are
themselves to blame, being forced to
admit this sad state of affairs.
Among union men it is easy to
imagine what harm such a book
CLOSED Shop. Unionism" would do
to the cause of labor, especially since
it is written in such a friendly tone.
The enlightened workers have no
hard-feeling against employers or
CARNATIONS. They have a right to

EXPEDITION CROSSES
LABRADOR PENINSULA A
For First Time Scientific Exploring
Party Travels From South
to North.

PITTSBURGH, October ls.-The PEN
insula of Labrador has been crossed
from the south to the north for the first
time by a scientific exploring party,
according to an announcement by DR..
W. ]. Holland. director of the Carnegie
Museum, following the receipt of a
telegram from st. Johns. Newfound-
land. announcing the arrival at that
point of the expedition, which last
April undertook to cross the peninsula
from the Bay of Seven Islands. on the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. to Ungava, on
Davis strait.
The expedition was Jointly financed
by the Carnegie Museum, the National
Geographic Society and Alfred Mar
shall of Chicago. who was a member
of the exploring party. In addition to
MIR. Marshall, the personnel of the ex-
pedition included w. E. c. Todd. the
curator of ornithology in the Carnegie
Museum. and o. J. Murie, the curator
of mammals in the same institution
They took with them a number Of In
dams.
The telegram received by Dr. Holland
gives no details of the expedition, other
than Its safety and success. A number
of efforts have been made by explorers
to cross Labrador from south to north,
but all previously have failed.

To Counteract Autumn Winds.

The winds are cold and the winds
are raw-part of the time-and skins
suffer the consequences. One would
think that a sun-tanned skin would
resist the autumn winds. but it is true
that hands and faces are especially
sensitive to the first chill reminders
that we live long way from the
equator.
There are two ways Of getting the
better of the rough winds of autumn.
One is to avoid them. That is the old
fashioned way. the way pursued by
women who swathed themselves in
wells summer and winter, or else stayed
indoors. The other is to brave them
and then use such soothing counter
attacks as we have at our command.
Gradually. as the winter advances. the
skin does become accustomed to the
cold air, and faces bear it quite with
Perhaps if we went without gloves and
muffs they would become toughened
to the reddening effects of the cold.
But as it is they chap and roughen
and redden at the least exposure to
the real winter weather. So, as far as
our hands are concerned. the best thing
to do Is to pursue the old-fashioned
method and keep them well covered.
Some women find that a little pure
olive oil rubbed on the face relieves the
dry state of the skin that sometimes
does not make the face tender as
more complicated lotion might, but
simply loosens the little dry scales that
are caused by the wind and cold so that
they rub off with the oil. and the skin
Is left smooth and comfortable.

USE TRADE ACCEPTANCES,
CREDIT MEN ADVOCATE
Speakers Explain Advantages to Be
Derived From New
Credit Form.

Use of trade acceptances in place of
promissory notes in commercial affairs
was advocated by speakers at the first
fall banquet of the Washington Asso-
citation of Credit Men at the CONNER
cial Club last night. The principal
speaker was ]. H. Tregoe, secretary
treasurer of the National Associate
of Credit Men.
1t was explained that the new credit
form was being advocated by business
men throughout the country. Plans for
a campaign to promote interest in the
trade acceptance were outlined. 1t is
planned to endeavor to interest cham
bers of commerce, boards of trade and
other commercial organizations.
A campaign to increase the member
ship of the Washington Association of
Credit Men was outlined by John H.
Moore. chairman of the membership
committee.
Announcement was made that plans
are now being formed for a debate to
be held between teams of the Washing
ton association and the Baltimore
Credit Mems Association. on the giving
of credit.

the organization, made a report show

Chatterer the Red Squirrel says that
he can't help stealing. He says that 1t
was born in him to steal. There may
be some truth in that. His father stole.
and his grandfather stole, and his
great-grandfather stole. The stealing
habit has been in the family for very
long time. But the fact that our an
cestors did certain things is no rea-
son why we should do them if they are
wrong.
OF course Chatterer the Red Squirrel
doesn't have to steal. He is smart
enough to find all the food he needs.
Neither is he afraid to work. Still he
steals whenever he gets the chance.
1t really seems sometimes as if he en-
joys most those things dishonesty come
by. 1t is quite dreadful.
Now If Cbatterer had been content to
attend to his own affairs that beautiful
October morning he might have filled
his storehouse with sweet, brown. lit
tie beechnuts and none would have in
terfered with him. Nuts there were
in plenty for everybody. But Chatterer
instead of hunting for nuts must needs
make trouble with his tongue until he
was frightened half to death and driven
away by great big Buster Bear. 1t
served him right, and he knew 1t served
him right, but it didn't make him re-
pent. No, sir. l am sorry to say it
didn't make him repent. 1t made him
angry instead of sorry. And then 1t
was that the dreadful idea of stealing
came to him.
So Chatterer watched such of his
neighbors as he knew were in the habit
of storing away nuts. He spied on
them. especially on his cousin Happy
.
about that he discovered one of Happy
Jacks storehouses in a hole in a big
limb of certain tree. Chatterer
watched until Happy Jack disappeared
in the direction of the beech trees.
then with n hasty look around to make
sure that no one saw him. he scram-
bled up to Happy Jacks storehouse
and disappeared inside.
In a moment he was out again. his
sharp eyes sparkling wickedly and his
cheeks stuffed full of the sweet beech
nuts Happy Jack had so patiently gath
cred and hidden there.
This is a lot easier than hunting for
them myself" thought the little red
thief. and scampered away through the
trees, jumping from branch to branch.
until he came to certain big tree IN
which was an old nest of Blacky the
Crow. Chatterer had long ago taken
possession of that nest and rooted 1t
over with twigs and leaves. In this
he now hid the nuts he had stolen from
Happy Jacks storehouse. and he chuck
led Wickedly as he did 1t.
AS soon as he had stored these away
he scampered back for more. But he
was crafty. was Chatterer. He was
very crafty He didn't go straight back
to Happy Jacks storehouse. but hid
where he could see it. and watched i'm
til he saw Happy Jack come and go
again. You see he wanted to make
sure that the way was clear. He
wouldn't run the risk of visiting that
storehouse and finding Happy Jack
there.
