Haley at the Auditorium hotel meet
ing declared:
1.-THE school board has been pre-
vented in every other way from in
terfering with our propaganda to
voice public opinion through the
schools. Now it proposes to install
military training as one way of in
surfing obedience. It strikes at de-
mocracy. We must prepare ourselves
against it."

MILITARY DOPE?
Will Jakey Loeb, the school board
car and his gang be able to force
through their plan to have military
drill in all schools, with every school
boy in a gray cadet uniform costing
parents SIS apiece? Are we going
to hear in Chicago schools the hep
hep" of driIlmasters in getting the
children ready for war?
This issue, is coming to a crisis
soon in Chicago. Behind the school
board president are manufacturers,
department store heads and bankers.
The roll call of a universal service"
boosters meeting is very much a
miIionaires' roll call. Headway for
the movement is strong. Opposition
to it is coming from Women's clubs,
labor unions and anti-militarist or
CARNATIONS.
Mrs. Elizabeth De Velde, former
member of the publicity committee
of the Guardians of Liberty, told The
Day Book today that she and her
friends look on the proposed military
training in public schools as a per-
version of the public schools idea.
In the peace societies there is diff
ference of opinion. The Woman's
Peace Party from its Office in Lake
View bldg. is sending put literature
and speakers opposed to cadets and
SIS uniforms in the schools. The
Chicago Peace society has not de-
clared itself. julius RosenwaId and
other directors trustees of the society
believe peace will be. best served by
making the schools a recruiting
agency for soldiers.
Chicago Federation Of Labor reso-
buttons passed yesterday denouncing
the Jake Loeb plan for making ar
mOries of high schools to be/'in the
interest of big business. - Margaret

CF1ICAGO FLAT JAM ] ORS MAY
STRIKE TOMORROW
B-r-r-r! Flat janitors are on the
verge of a strike in Chicago. Unless
the demands of the union for an in
crease in wages of approximately 10
per cent are granted today, according
to an official of the union, a general
walk-out will take place Tuesday.
Twenty thousand buildings and
5000 janitors would be affected. A
last attempt at a get-together will be
attempted today by VIM. Quesse,
head of the union. Locals of the
union have been baIloting on the
strike question for two days. More
than 80 per cent of the members are
in favor of giving union heads the
authority to call the strike. The
Chicago Federation of Labor voted to
support the janitors if they should
quit.
E. Orris Hart, president of the
apartment building association and
a member of the real estate board,
claims these organizations have
enough men-to take the places of
janitors who walk out.
The fiat building owners claim the
right to bargain with janitOrs indi-
vidually. They object to. Unionism
and are for an open shop.

II October's brides take advantage
OF the great liberty In the choice of
styles, for their wedding gowns this
year, they will be wonderfully CARRIED.
1t appears that they may be quite in
dependent Of the current modes and
make excursions into the past in order
to garb themselves and their attend
ants in the styles of other days and
other lands. All that is required OF
the wedding procession is that 1t shall
be picturesque and dignified. There Is
no getting away from that last condi-
ton no frivolous and light-blnded sug.
gestion must appear in the brides ap-
Iparel.
II she chooses the modes of the hour
she Is fortunate, also, for she finds
them beautifully adapted to the we'd
ding gown. There are the straight-line
dresses and those that show q little
definition Of the waistline; al! simple
and dignified. And the vogue for full
draperies In soft, rich satins plays in
to the hands of the designer Of we'd
ding gowns. Just how well this style
can be managed Is shown In the gown
pictured.
NJ model has the regulation long
sleeve, partly Of satin and partly Of.

crepe geOrgette. but 1t has not the reg.
ulatlOn high neck. A little chemisette
Of crepe with n V opening at the front,
makes pretty amends for the absence
Of a higher collar. 1t is hardly dis.
cernible in the picture. The train is
long and straight and the veil is long
er, falling in two lengths from the
puffs across the back Of the head. The
ends of the veil are bordered with fine
val lace and the shorter length is
something over half the length of the
figure. A very narrow girdle and a
double strand Of pearl beads dispose
Of the finish ut the waistline, and q
long strand Of pearls Is worn about the
neck.
Orange flower buds make a band
about the forehead, with clusters Of
buds and blossoms arranged In the
veil at the back. Altogether this Is q
costume that will never look less beau
tiful In years to come than 1t does to-
day-and the bride will always be able
to point with pride to her picture.
