THE RED NECKTIE
(By Evelyn fjesoi5-)

Do you know what the red necktie
does to you, Mr.. Jimmie? YOU re -
sure tIat your socks and .Le nar;-
gel | IL yoG1 buttonho!e Will DO ycu1
"'u' ng for you that ypI hec, rae
tyf sue tied, You stamm n d few
words, and then you feel self-conscious
Y)a set whiff of he scent that
you put on your hair, and that un-
nerves you. \ Maybe it is only bay
rum,- after all. The barber fooled
you when he told you that it came
from Paree. You wonder whether
SHE has noticed it, too. And by
that time mother has come into the
room to feed the canary, and the
golden moment has slipped by. Or, if
you do have time to kneel down to
make your declaration of love, your
Sunday shoes begin to squeak and
pinch-and that Of all things, is most
disconcerting. They all can hear
that noise as far out as the barn, you
are sure. So you forget all the fine
things you memorized on your way
over; and unless luck is on your side,
you lose your balances and bump your
nose on the arm of the beloved's
chair.
If you take my advice, Mr.. Jim
my you'd far better do your courting
in your everyday working Clothes
You don't have to doll up to win a
girls love. The girl you want to mar
ry must love you, not your dandelion
boutonniere and the Partisan cucum-
ber cream you have rubbed into your
hands.
I knew a fine and simple country
boy who loved city girl. Bud Hick-
son was his name. He was quite cer-
tain that plain Bud Hickson never
could win that girl. Only Bud Hick-
son dandified and dolled up beyond
recognition could hope to be a sue

FORTUNE|f |fAvORS
A noted Base
BALL PLAYER

NEW YORK, Dec 20. OMITTED
! lPress).-Fortune is putin over easy
ones that are splitting the pan fol
Rebel Oakes.
The former major league outfield-
er, later manager of the Pittsburgh
Feds and more recently the boss of
the Denver ball club is now Mister
Oakes, oil magnate, close to mil
lionaire and baseball magnate-to-be.
Rebel has made big hit. A lit
tie farm of his down in Louisiana
took a notion to churn up some oil
and while it continues to gush around
about $4,000 will be rung up daily
on his cash register.
With more money that he knows
what to do with, the Rebel has an
ambition to get back into baseball
in one of the few roles that he has
never filled-an owner.
Recently he sauntered into the Of
flee of Barney Dreyfuss in Pitts
,burgh and casually asked the Pirate
chief what he would take for his ball
club.
The Smoky City magnate was in
clined to consider it a good joke until
Cakes produced roll the size of a
truck tire and convinced his hearer
that he meant businss.
Rebel saved a nice pile while he
was going good in the gardens of
the major leagues. He invested the
money in a plantation near Homer,
Louisiana.
Oil drillers prevailed on him to al.
low them to go down in his land.
They found three gushers that are
producing 10000 to 10000 barrels
daily and the owners royalty is
twelve barrels to every one hundred.
There are indications of others wells
on the tract.
The Rebel muffed few goods in
the field during his day and it looks
as if he didn't misjudge the latest
fly that fortune sent into his ter
ritory.

SHOULD SCHOOL
TEACHERS Be
ORGANIZED?

( LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.-(United
Press. LACK of living wages for
school teachers of America is nothing
short of a national crisis, declared DR..
william T. Foster, president of Reed
college, Portland, Oregon.
DIR. Foster, addressing the Cali
fornia State Teachers convention
here today, suggested that the
pedagogues form union, as one
way of meeting the "crisis", but he
strongly opposed affiliation with the
American Federation of Labor, as
has been suggested by some of the
country's educators.
With the exception of ministers, no
other class of workers became "vic-
tins of the war" to such an extent
as the teachers, the speaker declared.
Other workers, some from sheer
necessity, took advantage of the war
to double their wages or the prices
Of their products shoe
makers, farmers, even government
clerks, shipbuilders and railroad men.
Meantime" continued Foster,
"virtually all our teachers who were
not called by the government for
other work, stood by their tasks loyal
ly, uncomplainingly. They did not like
or loaf on the job; they did not picket
the school buildings or burn them
down; they refrained from shooting
their superintendents and school
bUal dis.
GAS a i ward, teachers have had
their wages reduced about fifty per-
cent--that it 20 say, in purchasing
power.
II am aware that some advocates
of union of teachers with the Amer
t:an Federation of Labor contend that
nora If these evils are contemplated
with the public schools. But what
ever is now contemplated, such a
union leads to these evils.
Teachers should have unions as
matter of course; they never have
had national organization worthy
of the name. But they should have
unions which safeguard rather than
endanger the supreme compensations
Of teaching as a profession"

chickens throughout the 100 towns in

established two chicken farms in the
interior of France, capable of pro-
ducing 1000 chickens a month for
use solely in the devasted regions.
Following the policy of the Ameri-

CONFERENCE
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, December 90
The Senate passed today the Cum
Minis railroad bill, providing for re-
turn of railroads to private owner
ship and control.
The bill now goes into conference
with the House which passed some
time ago the Esch bill, designed to
reach the same end, but differing IN
detail. The vote in the Senate was 46
to 80. Twenty-Five Democrats and
eight republicans voted against the
bill.
The Cummins bill sets up the mach
inery for a complete reorganization
of the railroads, and provides for fl
nancing them. 1t provides them a
return of 515 per cent on their cap
italization, and revives the powers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Cummins bill provides for the
settlement of labor disputes. 1t pro-
vides that the roads shall be returned
to their owners on the last day of
the month in which the bill becomes
a law.
Because of the differences between
the Senate Bill and the House bill,
final enactment of this legislation is
not expected for at least 60 days.
