ENOUGH LABORERS NOW.


the war. There are enough working
men in the United States to fully
man every industry in the country if
there were proper distribution and
adjustment, and if wages were in
keeping with the present cost of liv-
ing and the hours of labor were not
over-long as they are in Judge Gary's
steel plants.
An industry in 1918 employing it's
workmen twelve hours a day, and
seven days "a week, month in and
month out, must necessarily expert
ence some difficulty in fully manning
it's, plants, when better advantages
are offered to common labor as we'll
as skilled labor in other industries
In many respects the Steel Trusts
wage scale per hour to skilled labor
exceeds that paid in other occupa-
tons, but the long tWelve-hour work
day and the seven-day week offset
the big pay check. Laborers are
human; they are not iron and steel
and coal; they want something more
in life than work and food and sleep;
they want rest, recreation and time
for companionship with their fam-
lies and fellows, when they can take
off their overalls, and don their good
clothes.
No doubt Coolies and Hindus and
Hottentots have the same longing
for these things as other human be-
ings, but they are so used to mastery
that they will take whatever is in
dustrially melted out to them as a
matter of course, as if it were their
cross to bear. Some day it may be
different, even with them, but that
day is not at hand, and in the mean
time mems standards of living must
be accepted as the basis for wage
competition, condition that should
not exist, and, we predict, will not
long exist when this great war for
freedom and democracy shall have
have been gloriously won by our
country and her allies.
The exploitation of cheap, foreign
labor by American industries in the
past has had a baneful effect upon
the country already. AS evidence of
this fact note the difficulty our nation
is experiencing in winning so large
an element of our alien population
over to the side of the United States
and her allies in the supreme conflict
for the freedom of the world in which
they are engaged.
Should the country be further en-
barrassed with the backward tribes
of the Orient? That is the big poll
tical question which Judge Gary's
proposal presents. Our country
first is pretty good motto to carry
in our hearts at all times, whether it
be in an assem- blage of big business
men, or union meeting of Ameri-
= can Workingmen.

THE LOCAL CENTRAL LABOR
BODY.

Detroit Labor News: Theye is no
more influential unit to the organ
tied labor movement, or one so thor
oughly misunderstood in it's func-
tons as the central labor union,
trades council or trades assem- bly,, by
whichever name it may be called.
The organizations of these local
groups are encouraged for a specific
purpose and it is only when they
function properly that the best re-
suits are obtained for the general
movement or the affiliated locals.
Local central labor bodies are
chartered for the express purpose
Of:
First, to bring local unions affili-
ated, directly or indirectly, with the
American Federation of Labor, into
closer bond of fraternity;
Second, to act as arbitrar in in
stances of disagreement between
locals and their employers or as be-
tween locals on all questions not in
volvlng their international laws;
Third, to encourage and assist in
the organizing of any and all I'M
organized workers in their immedi-
ate community.
Fourth, to use their best endeav
ors to have affiliated locals affiliate
with the State Federation of their
state
In localities where these local
central bodies are active you invari-
ably find a we'll organized move
ment; where they handle the griev-
ances in their jurisdiction with in
telligence you find little dissatisfac-
ton between employees and employ
ers; where they direct the organiza-
ton of new locals you find these
locals thrive better than when they
are the result of outside effort.
There is a dignity that attaches
to membership in a local central
body that merits the best efforts of
the delegates chosen to represent
their locals that is often overlooked.
Affiliated locals generally try to send
their best members to the local
central body, and when these give
their undivided attention to their
duties strong central organization
results. 1t is for the furtherance of
these several functions that local
unions nay per capita tax to the
local centrals and when these are
fulfilled the investment yields splen-
did returns for the movement.

1t is just as impossible that this
world should continue to be half
democratic and half autocratic as it
was that this country should con-
tinue to be half free and half slave.
Just as truly as Abraham Lincoln
hit that truth, so accurate is it to
say that between those opposing ideas
there can never be anything but war,
always war and always war, by what
soever name you call :it-always war
until one or the other is triumphnt.

Monaghan Horse Racing.

Perhaps the prohibition Of horse
racing would be more deeply resented
in Mongolia than in any other coun-
try Of the world. There it ranks as
the favorite pastime of ali classes,
including the Buddhist clergy, who
number fully one third of the total
population. The races are never under
ten miles, and the Mongolian "derby"
is contest over thirty miles of rough
steppe. When G. w. Campbell, Of
the Chinese consular service, travelled
through Mongolia in 1902 he witnessed
race meeting which was presided
over by the local avatar, most Of the
competing ponies being owned by
lamas. The great races which take
place yearly ut Urga are held under
the direct patronage Of the lama pope
Of Mongolia, who becomes the owner

Why Couldn't She Forget 1t.

very thought of it made her blush.
To think of her, the daughter of one
of the leading scientists of the day, in
love with q chauffeur. Here her senti-
ment got the best of her pride. Dick
Cochrane was not common chauffeur
far from 1t. He was the very finest
chauffeur and the best looking young
man she had ever known. He showed
refinement and education, too, that be-
wildered her. Who was Dick and
where did he come from? she asked
herself a dozen times a day. She was
sure there was romance connected
with him and she was going to find
out all about It. Perhaps it was better
she did not know. Why in the world
couldn't he tell her? He would, she
was sure, when he asked her to mar
nv him. He had been on the point of
asking her on two or three occasions
but he hadn't. Why hadn't he? Was
II for the same reason that he didn't
kiss her? He had been on the point of
kissing her on more than two or three
occasions and had always stopped
himself. She knew that he knew of
the magazine articles and that was
what caused him to refrain. How she
hated that article! All her pent-up
feeling was exerted in one kick at the
magazine at her feet and it shot from
the veranda and lit at the feet of Dick
Cochrane as he rounded the corner of
the house.
"Who's throwing magazines at me?"
he called out, as he picked 1t up. He
caught sight of LenOra's flushed face
and whistled softly. "What has been
disturbing you. Norar' he asked. He
was the only one who had ever dared

Your Cleaning Closet.


A closet, cupboard or wardrobe in
the kitchen is the best place for keep
ing the cleaning utensils. A backstair
closet is also good place. One end
Of a back porch may be inclosed and
used for such a purpose. The closet
should have plenty of hooks and racks
for utensils and shelf for cleaning
materials.
The housekeeper should choose uten-
sils according to her own needs and
according to the requirements Of her
house. Those suggested below are in
expensive and will help to tighten the
work of cleaning:
Bucket with wringer for mopping.
A piece of inch board Is inches
square with rollers makes convent
ent platform on which to set the mop
bucket, and permits 1t, to be moved
easily without lifting.
Wall mop made by tying bag made
Of wool or cotton cloth over an ordi-
nary broom.
A broom, with hook screwed in the
end Of the handle by which it can be
hung up.
A long-handled dustpan.
Several brushes for cleaning pun
poses.
Cheesecloth, worn silk and flanneY.
ette for busters.
Busters may be made by dipping
pieces Of cheesecloth in two quarts Of
warm water to which one-half cupful
Of kerosene has been added. These
cloths should be kept away from the
stove or lighted lamp, as they are In
fiammable.
A blackboard eraser covered with
flannelette for stove polishing.
An oil floor mop to use on oiled
or polished floors. Several makes can
be found on the market, or one may
be made Of old stockings or any dis
carded wooden or flannelette material.
The material is cut into one-lnch
strips and sewed across the middle to
a foundation of heavy CLOTH. This Is
fastened to an old broom handle or
used in clamp mop handle. The mop
is dipped into a solution made Of one
half cupful melted paraffin and one
cupful kerosene, and allowed to dry.
To keep 1t moist, it is rolled tight and
kept in paper bag, away from stove
or lamp. <
A carpet sweeper or a vacuum
cleaner should be used in the daily
cleaning Of the carpets and rugs. A
vacuum cleaner operated by hand or
electric power removes practically all
the dust and dirt from carpets and
rugs In q dustless manner.

1t was glorious afternoon. Poets
and writer's with wide vocabulary of
adjectives would have revelled in de-
scribing it. Lenora Montrose sank into
a comfortable big chair on the fveran-
da and endeavored to enjoy every
breath of it. But even enjoying after
Moons becomes tiresome, especially to
girls of Lenora's type, so she rum
mayed through the magazine rack by
her side in search Of something of in
terest. A magazine fell from the GEN.
ter of the pile and opened at her feet.
Lenora gave an exclamation of disap-
proval as she saw her own face look
ing at her from the open page.
Would that that article and picture
might vanish from her sight, she wish
ed, as she kicked the book closed. 1t
was the most idiotic thing she had
ever read. She hadn't thought that at
first, but now she felt it nearly every
minute of the. day. Why couldn't she
forget it? She couldn't, no matter how
hard she tried, for she had been so
proud Of it at first; and she had read
1t so many times it was impressed on
her memory for all time to come. The
paragraph under her picture was the
one that CALLED her most. The arti-
Gle was practically all about her fa-

herself was the one she hated. She
could see it in her minds eye staring
out at her morning, noon and night.

This Method of Conserving Re-

Important This Year.
Efficient DRIER IS CHEAP
Currents Of Heated Air Pass Over
Product as Well as Up Through It
Inducing More Rapid and
Uniform Drying.

Special emphasis Is placed this year
by food conservation specialists on the
Importance Of drying. This method
requires no sugar, and as its advan-
tages become better known is attain
ing wide popularity. Nearly every
product Of the soil can be dried and
thus preserved for use months and
even years later. Bulletins describing
tested drying methods will be sent free
on application to the United States
department Of agriculture.
Vegetables and fruits can be dried
in an oven, in trays or racks over the
kitchen stove, or in specially con-
structed drier. There are small driers
on the market which give satisfactory
results. The small cookstove driers
or evaporators are small OVenlike
structures usually made. Of galvanized
sheet iron, or of wood and galvanized
iron. They are Of such size that they
can be placed on the top Of an ordi-
nary gas, wood or coal range or kero-
sene stove.
A Homemade Drler.
A drier that can be used on gas,
wood or coal range or kerosene stove
can be easily and cheaply made. The
dimensions of the ones shown in the
photograph are: base "a by 16 inches
height, SO inches (including the base).
The drier can be made smaller If de-
sired.
The base, 6 inches high, is made of
galvanized sheet iron. 1t flares toward
the bottom, and has two small open
ings for ventilation in each Of the
four sides. On the base rests box
like frame made Of 1 or 1h-inch
strips of wood. The two sides are
braced with 1A-inch strips which
serve as cleats on which the trays in
the drier rest. These are placed at
intervals of 3 inches. The frame Is
covered with tin or galvanized sheet
iron which is tackled to the wooden
strips Of the frame. Thin strips OF
wood may be used instead Of tin or
sheet iron. The door is fitted on small
hinges and fastened with thumb
latch. 1t opens wide so that the trays
can easily be removed. The bottom
in the drier is made of piece Of per-
forated galvanized sheet iron. Two
inches above the bottom is placed a
solid sheet Of galvanized iron. three
inches less In length and width than
the bottom. This sheet rests on two
wires fastened to the sides Of the
drier. This prevents the direct heat
from coming in contact with the prod
uct and serves as radiator to spread
the heat more evenly.
Will Hold Eight Trays.
The first tray is placed 8 inches
above the radiator. The trays rest on
the cleats 8 inches apart. A drier OF
the given dimensions will hold eight
trays. The frame for the tray is made
of 1-inch strips on which is tackled gal.
vanized screen wire, which forms the
bottom Of the tray. The tray Is Fl by
Is inches, making 1t 8 inches less In
depth than the drier. The lowest tray
when placed in the drier is pushed to
the back, leaving the 3-inch space In
front. The next tray is placed even
with the front, leaving 3-inch space
In the back. The other trays alternate

Waterproof Substitute for Leather

The extremely high price of leather
has been factor in producing new
substitute which is already being used
extensively in making workingmen's
gloves. and other articles, and is prov
ing to be more durable than the split
leather used for that purpose, says an
article in Popular Mechanics Maga-

does not harden after being wet, but
dries soft and pliable.

Cleanliness In Bread Making.

Cleanliness is important in all
forms Of cookery, but important
for several reasons in bread
making. Bread almost always
contains bacteria, and these are
{ likely to produce in dough sub
stances which spoil the flavor Of
the bread. Yeast has no flavor
which survives the cooking, and
the substances which it pro-
duces, carbon dioxide and alco-
hol, are driven off by the heat
Of the oven. Bacteria, on the
other hand, are likely to pro-
duce sour or rancid substances
which are not removed by bak-
ing.
