Of the Civil war, when all labor organ
izatiors broke down. Sometime after
the war women again organized. and
in 1908 the National Women's Trade
Union league, as 1t now operates, be-
came living thing.
The present organization has mem

The National Women's Trade Union

to teach women to help themselves to
get better working conditions. Its
purpose is ito protect the women work
ers of America from inadequate wage
and extreme working hours through
the organization of the workers, and
through such legislation as the mini
mum wage and the eight-hour day; to
increase cooperative action among
them to create a public opinion that
really understands the labor move
ment; to secure definite and accurate
information concerning conditions
among women and child wage earners
leading to legislative action; to supply
at all times to all wage earners as
sistance in working out their indus
trial difficulties"
Mrs. Raymond Robins is president
Of the league and chairman of its COM
mittee on international relationships,
which is in charge of arrangements for
the International Congress of Work
ing Women. Miss Mary Anderson.
chief of the womens bureau of the
United States department of labor, is
secretary to this committee.
The congress is being called at the
official request of the standing com
mittee on Women's Industrial Organi-
cations of Great Britain and at the
informal request of women's labor or
CARNATIONS in France and Italy. Prob
lens and conditions affecting the work
of women and children will be dis
cussed and remedies for these ills con
sidered so that practical suggestions
can be taken back by the delegates to
their own countries.

ference.
Miss Anderson continued to say:
1.-THE United States can no longer he
isolated as nation. We have taken
our place in the family of nations and
stand in danger of either going up or
down with the rest of the world in re-
gard to industrial standards. To this
end we must never forget that by rails
ing standards of employment for the
100000 women In gainful occupa-
lions in the United States, by guard
ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and care to women
and babies. we are helping to raise
the standards, and that just as soon
as we fail TO make our standards as
high as they should be we will cause
suffering and hardship among women
and children either In our own coun.
try or In some distant. unthought of
part Of the world.
"rhe Trade Union principle recog-
nizes the fact that working women
shall participate In the conditions gov
erning their employment. that they
shall use their own initiative to the
end that they may have control over
conditions under which they work
They all agree that because of this
women must have their own part In
the organizations that consider IN,
conditions of women's work. whether
these be local, national or interna
tional."
Thlrty-four countries have been
asked 10 send women delegates from
accredited labor organizations to at

MARIE GOLD.
BY ELLEN EDDY SHAW.

/ wonder how many boys and girls
would like to support and care for a
little French orphan this winter?
know one whose name is Marie Gold.
Some people call her Marigold. You
can buy her for about five cents. She
comes in little paper package, and
when you look at the seeds inside
you will wonder how a nice little
French baby is going TO come out of
that. But if you plant those seeds, six
of them, in little three-inch pot you
will have anywhere from four to six
French babies poking up out of the
soil.
Fill your flower pot TO within an
inch of the top with nice garden soil.
If you have none saved up you can
buy little from the florist. Then lay
four or six seeds carefully on top,
cover them with one-quarter inch Of
soil and press this soil down carefully
with your fingers. After a week or ten
days you will see pushing up and out
the first of your six orphans.
Little Marie Gold will grow to be
about five inches tall and then she will
have bright, golden flower head She
is little dwarf and never grows any
taller. Out in the garden in the sum-
mer grows her American cousin, quite
tall; but little French Marie Gold
never reaches, even outdoors, more
than eight inches in height. 1t will
take about six weeks from the time
you plant the seeds to the time when
she blossoms. i know of no little flow
er child so hearty, so cheerful, and so
easy TO raise as she.
All the boys and girls who can get
box or little pot of some soil may
have French marigolds blooming in
doors i'm the winter. They are no
trouble TO care for, because all they
need is little sunlight and an oc-
casiOnal drink of water. Wait until
the soil around them gets very dry
and then give them plenty of water to
drink. Flower children are like real
children; they need kind treatment
and good care. SO look out for little
French Marie Gold and she will bios
som and smile away at. you.
To Mothers know of no little
plant so easy to raise and so salts
factory in results as the French mort
gold. Do not make the mistake Of
buying the seeds Of the common Amer
lean marigold, for 1t will not do as wpIl
as its little French sister. Neither Is
II as dainty, nor as attractive to chill,
dren.

SUGAR Lid Off.

Three-year-old Boobies afternoon
nap being unusually short, he was
bathed, dressed and permitted to
wander through the big house while
his mother prepared her toilet. Bob
bic found many interesting things to
do: poured water off the gold fish
climbed into the kitchen sink and
made cement out of his brothers sand
from the hosting toy.
Bobbie was sternly taken to task,
his mother relating his little sins" one
by one. Penitent Bobbie's confession
was: eyes. but mother, that was not
all 1 dipped my hand in the sugar
bowl and just ate sugar, and ate sugar
and ate sugar"
Bobbie was not punished, and his
mother camOuflaged her smiles.

control over II until study its simnle
and excellent mechanism. It's front
wheel can turn In any direction. it's
steering gear is strong and easily mnn-
aged and II Is made entirely oi 'zcod
Both carts are also nf wood az Wen
as the mule and horse, and all are
well painted and strongly put togeth-
er. The cars are painted red. white
and blue, so l know they are made ir
or own country. The rag babies we
made ourselves, and although they are
"of crudeness," they are none the
less beloved. The blocks were made
by measure at wood yard. Being
large and easily handled, child can
build gates. bridges and platforms
with them big enough to walk under
or upon, and strong enough to stand
firm after they are built.
Our older children when they were
small played principally with imported
dolls dressed in native costumes. And
can remember that my brother and
had handsome books brought from
England, that my finest dolls were
French and his regiments of toy sol
diers came mostly from the land of
militarlsm.
But our baby boy, born during the
world war and forced to rely on sturdy,
homemade toys. is much better off.
Lesson for Mothers.
There is a twO-fOld lesson here for
us mothers. One concerns the chill
dren themselves and the other goes far
afield into the laws of economics, world
production and the like.
We have found that our own sub
stantial, wooden, easily-handled play
things are what our children need and
want. Children's books we have
aplenty, the most artistic. | suppose,
in the world. And then we can de-
mand well-made, pretty American
dolls. 1t only remains for US to hold
to all these, and prove our patriotism
by refusing to buy foreign manufac-
tured toys, even If they are put on
the market again later on.
A far cry, isn't it, from baby boy
with his "toOt-toot, ding-a-lang. chu-
chu," on the piazza. TO the law Of sup
ply and demand and the regulation of
one of the great industries of the
world? But in just such ways we are
now finding out how great problems
must be handled. We are going bacl;
to our earlier and simpler days, when
we shall discard the nOnessentials as
so much waste and rubbish. Let us
begin, then, at the beginning and stick
TO toys-made in America.

How New York Got Nickname.

"City of Gotham" is a nickname Of
foreign origin with no particular APP
plicability. Gotham Is the name of
an ancient village i'm England, whose
inhabitants, according to tradition.
once escaped burdensome duty
about to be put upon them by feigning
stupidity. This smart trick In pre-
tending to be fools gave rise 20 the
expression "the wise men of Gotham"
and the story of ''the three wise men
of Gotham who went 10 sen in bowl"
The name was first applied to New
York city in a humorous magazine
called Salmagundi, started in 1907 by
Washington Irving and two or three
others, in which they made fun Of the
pretensions of some of the 'wise men
of Gotham" meaning the New York
Of that day. The magazine was read.
the fun-making approved and the nick
name became permanent.

WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. Not so young

upon which good health and cd spirits
so much depend, are impci red. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying compliant ms in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with ell
Derby people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.
