STABILITY
By JOHN P. FREY.

another believing that each program
adopted contains the relief they Ire
Seeking, always finding that it proves
incapable of meeting their desires, but
ready and willing to try something else
rather than deliberately work out the
most practical means of improving their
condition with the methods which they
have at hand and which they see ap-
piled with success by nthers.
Some of these types have passed
through the Knights of Labor fal1acy,
embraced the Populistic movement, be-
came welded to the policy TO the l. w.
W., and now see their happy home in
Bolshevism. The failure of all of these
movements to bring about the condi-
tons which they seek to secure has not
cured them of the habit, which prob
ably IS one of temperament more than
OF reason; and this type will continue
to move from group to group, move
nent to movement, in the vain search
for the ideal.
The trades unionist is the man who
believes that perfection is something to
be aimed for, but something which can
not be secured. He believes that the
solution of his industrial problems lies
through the methods of evolution. He
is not revolutionist because he knows
that revolution breaks his furniture, de-
stroys what he has built up and leaves
him impoverished instead of benefited :
that it sets him backward instead of
forward and leaves him worse off than
when he began.
The trades unionist if he has intelli-
gently studied the problems which con-
front him, is never completely satisfied.
He is continually planning to improve
his industrial condition. but he is de-
termined to do this without endanger-
ing what he has already built up.
What he has secured he has deter
mined to retain, and he will take Meth
er an enthusiasts nor a gamblers
chance with what he possesses; it has
cost him and his forefathers too much
to secure
The trades unionist, because of his
methods, becomes a recognized factor
in the community. He has established
something permanent
He has built upon a solid foundation.
He can be depended upon
He has established his reputation for
reliability.
We need the architect in Our plan
ming for better homes; we need the
man who is influenced by ideals; we
need those who are prepared to give
their energy to improve the conditions
of those who toll; but above all we need
the men who are not swayed from
practical methods, and who are never
willing to abandon the structure they
have built UP for any other until there
is tangible evidence and positive assur-
ence that the new structure can more
successfully meet their necessities.
The Connecticut labor press. (New Haven, Conn.) 191?-1921, 1919-09-06

There is a big difference between the
house hunters and the home hunters.
You know the house hunters. You
have never lived very far from one
They don't like the house they live
in; they didn't like the one they moved
from; they have in mind house which
viii meet with all of their desires.
The fact that such house never ex-
listed and never can exist does not seem
to affect them.
The roof is too low in one house the
upper chambers too warm in the sum-
mer; too cold in the winter; or they
want to have several windows open
sky-yard so they can study the stars
when so inclined, or veranda from
which to gaze on rainbows.
If there is room enough in the living
room, the kitchen is too small; or the
kitchen has more space for cooking
than the dining room can accommodate :;
there is not room enough for the book
case; or the front porch is not sufficient
1y large to meet the ideal.
Carried away with the belief that they
will some day discover home to their
liking, they are continually moving
from house to house, perhaps temper
arily pleased with the new home, but
soon discovering that it does not sup
ply ali of the conditions they desire.
Moving in the belief that the ideal
home will be found becomes passion
almost a mania When old age
arrives home hunting with them is still
an active force. Their furniture has
been so scratched, Clipped and marked
from frequent movings that it is almost
worthless. They have never established
a standing in the community. But their
experiences have taught them nothing,
and they are still ready to move again
IN the belief that the ideal home will be
found.
There are great many who realize
that the ideal home is not to be secured,
and instead of moving from house to
house, they endeavor to select the one
containing the most essential features
to their happiness and comfort, and then
from time to time such changes are
made as will adapt the home to the
family's necessities. The furniture is
retained unmarried by frequent movings.
It is an ornament to the home as well
as necessity.
Furthermore, the home maker be-
comes a part of the community estab-
fishes reputation for practical methods
and common sense, and in time Yields
an influence in the neighborhood which
the never-satisfied house hunter IAN
never hope to secure.
And so it is with the workers.
Some believe that by making frequent
changes-by continually experimenting
they will at least discover cure for
their industrial inconvenience and ills.
And so they go. from one policy and
program to another; from one ism to

New Coal Mining Record.

Eastern Ohio strengthened it's hold
on the Ohio coal producing champion
ship during 1918, according to figures
announced by the Ohio industrial COM
mission at Columbus. More than 80
per cent of the 47,S49, 236 tons mined
were produced In the eastern half Of
the state.
The previous high mark for coal
production was in 1915 when the state
produced 100000 tons. Demands Of
the war led to the increase, despite
the shortage of labor and cars.

Mark Of Lahore PROGRESS.

The solid and gratifying progress of
cooperative labor organizations in the
United States was fittingly celebrated
last year by the dedication of the new
central building Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in the national CAPT
tai. The dedication was made by
President Wilson, after reviewing the
labor parade, and his tribute to the I'M
DERIVING spirit Of organization in labor
was cheered by men Of all types and
stations in life.

for the benefit of this boy and he
informs YOU that he doesn't like it.

question. DO you want mother

and do not allow him to persuade
YOU to come back-at least for IL
time. If he leases you. say Il might

say to him. "All right. then. let us
play it happily and have fun
y child likes TO command others
and if others allow him to do so. he
becomes very much spoiled and it is
not good for him.
Some mothers do not know when
to draw the line and most of them
make the mistake of catering too
much to the child. Some children
indeed are very clever at giving their
mothers just enough encouragement
in their catering to keep them at it.
Parents should demand that their
children audibly express their ap-
probation of the slightest act of
kindness offered by another person.

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN
A Series of Plain Talks to
Parents
By Ray c. Beery, ABB, MA.
President of the Parents Association.

For child's own future good. if
for no other reason. he ought to be
taught early to show appreciation of
things other people do for him.
OF course. when u child is young,
he not only is seltishly inclined but
he cannot look far ahead; he thinks
only of his immediate pleasure or
satisfaction.
Often, when child discovers that
he cannot secure favors by demand
ing them. he gets Al peculiar sense of
satisfaction from repeatedly doing
so, but the parent who allows him
to do this is doing him an actual
injustice.
\ child should he so trained when
home, it Will be easy for him to get
along with others in the world in
stead of difficult.
Let us take an example. A mother
writes to me:
What can I do to get our 5-year-
old boy to appreciate things? When
ever anything is given him, he will
say Q don't like that, why didnt
you get something elSe?) lie isn't
satisfied with the stories we tell or
the games we play. We do so much
Tor him, | can't see why he is that
way"
You have been trying to do too
much for this boy and this may be

HENS HATCH FISH EGGS

The Chinese have novel way of
propagating fish. The spawn is care
fully collected from the surface of the
water, and when sufficient quantity
has been obtained they take a number
OF hens eggs. the contents of which
have been carefully emptied through
Il small aperture, and refill the shells
with SpawnS. The holes are sealed
up and the eggs put under the broody
hens. The hens are allowed to in
cubate the eggs for a certain number
Of days. when the eggs are again
broken and their contents put into
water that has been previously
warmed hy the sun. In very short
time the spawn hatches. and the
young fry are then kept i'm pure fresh
water until Il sufficient size to he put
into the ponds. At one time con-
siderable business was done in this
style of spawn hatching.-From the
indianapolis Times.
