November

November skies are dreary, her
winds as sharp as knives; and all
the world seems weary, when this
sad month arrives; the birds no
longer tarry where tempest raise
old Harry, the bees no longer
carry the glucose to their hives.
The cockleburs | tended thru gold
en- summer days, the milkweeds
tall and splendid, no longer meet
the gaze; the frost is falling
nightly, l sec it cleaning Whitley.
when in the morn, politely, cuss
November's ways. The night wind,
at the easement, now shrieks in
fiendish glee; the furnace in the
basement is calling, calling me;
in spring l didn't need it, the sum-
mer weather freed it, but soon I'll
have to feed it coal carloads two
or three. No wonder if my SON.
net should strike a plaintive note !;
my uncle has my bonnet, he also
has my coat; the summer rags
I'm wearing won't do when blasts
are tearing, and creditors are
swearing; my uncle has my goat.
Alas, that bleak November, which
leaves us cold and numb, is fol-
lowed by December, the bummest
of the bum! Then comes fierce
January; but boots let us be mer-
ry-thcs worst is yet TO come

MADE FRIENDS FOR COLONIES
Benjamin FranI<iin's Successful d.
plomacy In France Meant Much
to Young Country.

The first diplomat to represent the
United States ut n foreign court was
Benjamin Franklin, who acted in Paris
as official "agent" of the infant re.
public In France. The crossing Of the At
lantic In the sioop Reprisal had oc'
cupied over month, and Doctor
Franklin had had many thrilling es-
capes from pursuing British vessels.
Franklin was given n cordial recep.

wear sword or wig when present.
ed at court shocked the fashionables.
The greatest writer's and philosophers
Of that golden age in France delights
ed to honor Doctor Franklin, and even
the venerable Voltaire paid tribute to
the genius Of the American. Frank
lin remained in France nine years.
At first he was merely the agent of
~the American rebels," and had TO
official diplomatic standing, but even
in this capacity he had sufficient intiu-
ence to bring about the treaty of alll-
ance between France and the Colo
MES, which had so profound moral
effect on the Revolutionary struggle.
He raised a large amount of money
IN France, and after the signing NJ
the treaty became the first American
minister to that country.

WHEN SUN BEGINS TO COOL
Humanity In lie Maturity VIII In All
Probability Be Able to Con.
serve Heat.

We can calculate the evolution Of the
temperature Of the earth in the fu-
ture. The sun will grow smaller and
cooler. Thus in 100000 years, when
the radius of the sun has diminished
by only one-hundredth part. our tenn.
perature will be not more than % de-
Grees G. (7S.S degrees F.) at the equa-
tor. It will have fallen to o degrees
G. (32 degrees F.) at the latitude 46
degrees and at Paris 1t will be be-
low zero (centigrade).
Finally, In $4,000 years, when the
radius of the sun has lost only flve
one-hundredths Of its diameter and
merely 800 degrees G. Of its tempera-
ture, the temperature of the equator
will have fallen to zero centigrade and
the entire earth will be frozen. Bio
logic evolution, which ascends into the
past for million years, may descend
into the future for an equal period of
time.
Moreover the energy of the sun.
whence proceeds our terrestrial en-
ergy, will be then diminished by only
one-tenth. Mankind will doubtless by
that time have long been capable OF
capturing this energy directly, OF

By George B. Waters

A new and better day has dawned for workers and a brighter epoch in the relations among nations has started.
 This was accomplished by the inter- national labor conference.
 Following are the measures it rec ommends to all nations:
 Universal eight-hour day and 4S- hour week.
 Prevention of work in industry bs children under IA, except in India, where they may work at 12, and some other far eastern and backward na- tions where the age varies.
 Excluding women from night work, hazardous occupations and in un- healthy processes.
 State or government employment bureaus, to cooperate with the inter- national labor office.
 Some of these measures have been the dreams of economists and humani- tarians for ages.
 It means the standardization of la bor and working conditions. Some exceptions to the standard work day were made in behalf oi 1 Japan. Workers above Is years ole l ana 6uSdSeU OulSluS Ol blic ilIluSa, llle work schedule may be: In the raw silk industry, 50 hours week; in other ! industrial undertakings, 51 actua working hours. Japan agrees to adop' 1 the world standard in all lines of worl as soon as practicable.
 India and the other backward na. l tions promise to raise the age at which children may work as soon as condi- tions warrant.
 The United States is not party tC this agreement yet, but will be as soor as the senate ratifies the treaty.
 An international labor office will b. established at the seat of the leagu, of nations, which will be at Geneva Switzerland. What is known as tn governing body, consisting of 12 per sons representing the governments six representing workers and six rep resenting employers, will be in session continuously.
 This conference named the follow ing representatives for workers: Leol Jouhaux, France; Jan Oudegeest, tn Netherlands; Stuart Burning, Grea Britain; H. Lindquist, Sweden, and pending American participation, P. M Draper, Canada.
 The employers representatives vii be: Sir Allen Smith, Great Britain; NJ Guierin, France; NJ. Pirelli, Italy; Jule Carlier, Belgium; F. Hodac, Czecho Slovakia, and. pending American par ticipation, Dietrich Schindler, Switzer land.
 The following nations have bee asked to name members: Belgium France, Great Britain, Italy, Japar Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Argen tina. Canada, Poland, and. pendin American participation, Denmark.
 Denmark, Canada and Switzerlan will hold down the three seats to whic America is entitled in the governin body until the senate ratifies tn
