DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

am a stenoErapher In .
small office and often my en-
ployer introduces me to salesmen
or buyers for various firms with
whom we do business. How should
/ receive these introductions? I
am quite unaware OF tho correct
manner to acknowledge them.
Should OFFER to shake hands?
Should I arise. II seated when the
Introduction Is made? When a
person says. Il am very pleased
to have met you" what Is the
proper reply to make? Also. is It
ever good form to shake hands
with q Eirl7 When introduced to
q gentleman on the street or in a
train should you OFFER your hand
when introduced and again at
leaving him? am a foreigner
and these little forms often puz-
zls mo. A.. V. NJ.
A QUESTION like yours does
not really belong in my col
umn. But 30 many OF my girls
have similar worries that in fair
ness to all OF them ! am going to
answer you. When your employer
introduces you to men. you need
not arise. Just say. How do you
DO, Mr. Jones" And when a man
or woman speaks OF the pleasure It
gave them TO meet you. thank them
graciously and sny that you, too,
have enjoyed the meeting. I think
Il 10 always pleasant and friendly
to hold out your hand when intro
dueed TO anyone. Never fear be-

Laughing, they passed in and

FULL COOPERATION
BETWEEN CAPITAL
AND LABOR, URGED
1A.,..i...d prsss bz q. 5. Naral wtreIsss.l

iated Press by U. 3. Naval Wirelsss.l
BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 13.-Presl-
dent Woodrow Wilson yesterday ad'
dressed the annual convention OF the
American Federation of Labor and
appealed to the workers OF the
United States for greater coopefa-
ton between labor and capital dur
ing the war. Samuel j. Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, introduced the speaker OF
the day. He said:
president WILSON is. today the
man of destiny, the spokesman OF
freedom. the interpreter of the aims
and spirit of our time and the leader
of progressive thought and acton
among the nations of the eartn.
President Wilson in his ADDRESS
declared:
THE present time is more critical
than any other the world has yet
known. 1t is the last decisive issue
between the old principle OF power
and that of the new freedom.
"The war was started by Germany,
and although some of their authorl'
ties deny it, l am willing to await
the verdict of history. Germany has
her place in the sun. Why has she
not been satisfied? What more does
she want?" he asked.
Referring to the map of Europe as
Germany would re-divide it should
she Ir've victorious, President vii
son said:
'Tf Germany can keep the terri
tory which she has seized by might
she will rule the world, provided
that the antiquities now in power in
Germany remain in control. But
they will not be in control much
longer because power cannot be used
against free people when that
power is controlled by the people
The people of Germany will regain
that power. Germany is determined
that the political power of the world
shall belong to her. .
Il am not opposed to the senti-
ments of the pacifists but to their
stupidity in believing that they can
make peace with an enemy that will
not heed reason. The pacifists do
not know how to secure peace, but
/ do. If we, true friends of democ'
racy, will see to it that the power OF
productivity is maintained at its
maximum height in this country we
will secure an early peace.
Horses sometimes kick over the
traces and such horses must be cor
rallied" said President Wilson refer,
ring to some of the recent indus
trial strikes.
Nobody has the right to stop the
processes of labor until all possible
conciliatory measures have been
exhausted" he declared.
President Wilson concluded his
stirring address by appealing for
greater cooperation between the
workers and capital. He said that
instrumentalities must be devised,
where they do not at present exist,
to bring about the proper amount
of cooperation between labor and
capital throughout the United States.

King FaUors
Commission
Upon Lands
(Staff Correspondent with the Con
gressional Party.)

(Staff Correspondent with the Con
gressional Party)
VOLCANO HOUSE, Hawaii, Nov
12.-None of the congressional party
has been more interested in Hawaii's
land problems and homestead puzzle
than Senator King of Utah. While
he is still open to conviction and
desires to hear all angles of the con.
troversy, the small landowners as
well as the planter, the laborer as
well as the territory, he has tentat.
lively made up his mind as to what
Hawaii needs .
In brief, it is a complete revision
of the existing system.
Senator King, just before leaving
this morning for Hilo to take the
boat to, Honolulu. gave the Star-Bulle'
/ tin representative clear insight into
his views and ideas. p
Senator King believes that the ter
ritory should have land commission
of wide powers, made up of thor,
cughly reliable, honest and represen-
tative men who will act only in the
public welfare and be immune from
the propaganda of corporation and
plantation, as well as business huis
or cliques-who will administer the
land distribution without fear or favor
who will say who shall have the
land and who shall not ~ !.
Unless Hawaii handles her public
lands in a different manner from
what she has, she might just as well
have no public lands at all, is the
gist of the Utah mans views after
seeing and hearing many phases OF
the question in the past few days.
There is no doubt" declared the
senator, that it is a vast problem
do not just know myself how it
should be handled, though may say
have certain views; but my data
is not as complete as would like.
would like to sit as Judge at a
hearing on the question where all
sides could be put forth intelligently
and thoroughly"
