GETTING OFF THE STILTS

GETTING OFF THE STILTS
Seattle and Butte disruptionists are
going to have poor time trying to con-
vince their fellow citizens that they must
be borne aloft on the golden palanquin
OF war wages. They do not represent the
sound principles of American labor
The Seattle ship strikers have benefit
ed from loyalty money tossed into the
common defense fund. They took advan-
tage of the fact that the u. S. A. was in
peril of conflict. The oceans were in the
grip OF submarines. Lives and property
were sunk wholesale. Shipping was be-
ing destroyed by the millions of tons.
The need for ships was desperate. Did
these shipbuilders leap to the task, fear
lessly, unselfishly and periodically?
They did not They went because wag-
es were far and away higher than any
peace time age-and forsooth, the work
was not on the battle line Nor were they
content with wages already high, but in
the heat OF the emergency, when their
very defenders were dependent upon the
ships they then were building, they struck
for still more wages. What manner of
American is this?
Every man, woman and child in America
who could not be otherwise employed
sought seams of their pockets for mon
ey to buy Libtrty bonds and thrift stamps
and to support defense funds to pay the
emergency wages the shipbuilders de-
manded.
The submarines are no more. Shipping
on the high seas resumes its peaceful
trend. Ships have cost us many times
more than a reasonable, peace time price.
And yet the Seattle soviet binds a city
hand and foot because the nation, war
weary, cannot see the sense of paying
prodlgious prices for ships that are not
needed
In war we needed copper for ammuni-
tion and dozen other purposes that no
longer exist with the end of conflict. Peo-
pie are not going to buy copper they do
not want. Naturally demand fails; pro-
duction must increase. Do these !. w. w.
slackers want citizens of this country to
pay them bonus for their iniquitious
and un-American palavering?
No man likes to find his income de-
creased. But as we have said before we
are nation on stills and we'll have to
come down. False values have been Gre
ated by the demands of war; The fact
that a plunger in wheat makes a thous--
and dollars in one coup does not argue
that he is to be supplied with similar op-
portunity each day.
Seattle and Butte workers should have
made the best of their advanced wages,
pocketing instead of squandering, and
they would still be winners in the game
of dollars. But the increased wage done
them no good; it has gone the way of all
easy money. 1t is no wonder that some
legs are being broken in the change from
stills to terra firma.
The difficulty is not nation wide. 1t is
purely local in communities where en-
Urgency war work has created false prof
its and inflated values. 1t is tie for the
profits and inflated values. 1t is time for
the profiteers to get on basis with the
majority of sane Americana Chicago

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as It dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months. I,

and rub it in, about teaspoonful. is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dand-
ruff.

Carl Booth, as Jim had imagined
him, should, promptly on seeing his
host in business clothes, have be-
gun stumbling apology for his
own dinner coat.
But the real Carl - the Carl l
knew. the nice unselfconscious fei-
low who had big-brothered me
about the city-simply didn't give
n second thought to a matter like
that.
He greeted Jim with unquestion-
ing friendliness as man to man.
and bolstered up Daisy's shy appre-
ciation of our handsome apartment
with cordial delight. Daisy seemed
rather awed by Jim, and though he
was punctili ously polite to the lit
tic thing, knew he hardly saw
her.
Once dinner was announced and
wo werc seated at tho table, Daisy
glued her attention on me in the
matter of forks and spoons. But
she didn't venture Il remark with
out looking to Carl for approval.
And Carl seemed as Indifferent to

was rs far from Indifferent as she
