ROOFS GIVEN MORE THOUGHT
Proper Care Bestowed N Them Has
Been Found to Pay in More
Ways Than One.

In course of the cleanup and paint
up movement, which produced good re-
suits in many towns and cities, repairs
of all sorts were brought about. The
householder who looked over his prop
erty in the spring, with a view of
merely removing rubbish from back
yards and alleys, found that there was
much to be done, and as a result of
recent experiences in war economies
has been inclined to study methods of
saving.
One of the interesting features of
the "paint-up" activities has been I'M
usual care in choosing colors. Since
the ending of the war a wide scale of
colors is again offered, and more atten-
ton than at any previous time has
been paid to general effect, according
to reports received by the own-your-
own-home section, Information and ed
ucation service, United States depart
ment of labor. Roofs have been recog-
nized as important in the color
schemes, artistic results being OBJ
tanned by the use of paint in harmonic
ing or contrasting hues.
AS a matter of conservation in the
cleanup and paint-up campaigns the
repair of roofs has been studied and
various methods have been employed
to prevent the expense and labor of
replacing wooden shingles. Prepare
tons of asphalt are now commonly
employed, for they have the advan-
tage of recommending themselves to
fire insurance companies and they are
inexpensive. In several cities the slO-
gan, Save the old wooden shingles"
has been incorporated with the regu-
lar paint-up and cleanup watchwords.

ROADS
EQUIPMENT FOR ROAD WORK
Tractors, Rollers, Concrete Mixers and
Other Implements to Be Returned
From France.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
At the request of the department of
agriculture, the war department has
ordered to be returned from France as
soon as possible a large quantity of
engineering equipment to be distrib-
uted by the department of agriculture,
through the bureau of public roads, to
the states for use in the construction
and maintenance of federal aid high
ways. The equipment will be distrib-
uted to the states without charge, in
accordance with recent legislation en-
towering the secretary of war to turn
over to the secretary of agriculture
surplus military equipment not needed
for military purposes but valuable in
highway construction work. The
equipment will be apportioned on the
basis of the allotments in the federal
aid road act, in the same way hat
10000 army motortrucks are now be-
ing distributed by the bureau of pub
lie roads at the request of the state
highway department.
The equipment which the secretary
of war has been requested to return
from France includes about 1,500 cater
pillar tractors; about 400 road rollers,
steam and gas driven; and a large
number of concrete mixers, road
graders, elevating graders, rock crush
ers, industrial locomotives, industrial
railway track, dump cars, steam SHOW
els, hosting engines. electric motors,
and quantities of smaller equipment.
In his letter requesting the return
of this equipment the secretary of
agriculture said: ,
"The highway construction program
which the federal government and the
states propose to begin Immediately is
the largest public undertaking con
templated in the neal future. It Of
fers an immediate field for the en-
ployment of labor and the use of ma

ness along a number of lines. The
work has been expanded so suddenly
that 1t has not been possible to make
adequate provision for furnishing the
necessary equipment, and previously

ADVANCE MUST BE GENERAL
Anarchy in Russia Proves That Labor
and Rest Of Society Must Go
Forward Together.

The future of labor lies in stabilizIng
democracy. In that alone Is progress.
One of the great problems Of peace is
to erect an Industrial democracy upon
the solid foundations of political de-
mocracy. That can come If labor is
patient and prudent and s~elf-control-
led, but it can never be brought about
through the application of theories of
confiscation or class war.
Autocracy has failed, and failed
crlminally, but the failure of bolshev-
ism is no less complete, ever though
the consequences have been restricted
to q single country. There is no hope
for the world in either. The fate of
Russia proves that labor must go for
ward with the rest of society. 1t can
not advance alone. 1t cannot take
everything and give nothing. If it ever
tries. 1t will wantonly waste most OF
the substantial fruits of the a

Pride of the Home Owner.

"That little place yonder, in the
blossoms, where trees wave welcome
that's my home"
1t is the true home maker-the real
home lover-who say that, coming
from the days tasks, with all the pride
of home ownership.
And that is the pride that's felt by
the thousand owners of the homes of
city streets, OF the little home places
that help brighten city borders where
a greener world begins, remarks the
Atlanta Constitution.
It's the pride of proprietorship-
life's happiness summed up in a brief
sentence: "That's my home!"
Business enterprise builds cities,
but it builds them around homes.
"a city of homes is the phrase that
awakens interest everywhere. And
the age of ownership is coming to be
the wonder of the time, with youth
looking providently to the future
planning for it, working for 1t. with
all youths hope and strength!
The humblest shelter may hold hap
piness enough If the me who walks
the way that leads to it al say, in
the hearts pride: "That's my home !"

Partners In Lies Work.

At this time several aspects of the
labor question demand consideration.
We need to emphasize the meaning and
necessity Of labor-to show that 1t is
both a law and a ear of service. We
need to emphasize the difference be-
tween productive labor that performs a
service and makes wealth, and unpro-
ductive labor that wins wealth away
from others and lives upon their toll.
We need to emphasize the fact that in
dustry is a partnership, and so it de-
mands the participation Of all parties
as partners in the enterprises. We
need to realize that the relations in in
dustry are human relations, and so
it is necessary that the relations of
mel with one another should be just
and %hrotherly MISUNDERSTANDING.

gained in confident vision for the fu-
ture.
Every national and international,
every local union affiliated to the
American Federation of Labor, has
made definite progress in securing for
its members greater advantages In
those things which are fundamental Of
betterment in all relations of life. In
some organizations the success has
been phenomenal.
Taking the labor movement as a
whole there has been greater progress
in securing the shorter wOrkday than
in any other similar period of time.
The meaning of these victories can be
interpreted only in the light of full
understanding of the meaning Of the
shorter day. The shorter workday is
something more than an economic de-
mand. 1t is a demand for opportunity
for rest, recuperation and develop
ment; things which make life more
than mere mechanical drudgery.

american Shoes in China.

American shoes are in high favor
among all classes of Chinese. The av-
erage native. however, is unable to
secure them because of the high prices,
and is obliged to content himself with
cloth footgear, or with very poor imi-
tations of the American style of shoes.
Leather shoes are only for the
wealthy. Practically all Of the high
grade leather imported into China for
use in shoes comes from the United
States, while the lasts are made in
Japan and are copies of staple Amerl-
can styles.

A Question.

"After all, there is no place like
PeewsecuddyhumpI" appreclatively
said the landlord of the tavern, who
was distended with local pride.
Probably not" replied a disgruntled
guest. but why don't your people go
to work to improve it-have clean
streets, a decent lighting system, and
acquire other luxuries and necessities
until It resembles a modern and pro-
gressive town?'-Kansas City Star.
, 1919-08-28

This changed public opinion has been
gradual through constant agitation,
education n organization, but it has
been quickened the past two years be-
cause of organized labor's prompt ac-
ceptance of autocracy's challenge
against democratic ideals.
Organized labor has not depended
upon words to prove it's patriotism. Its
whole-hearted support of the govern
ment in the crisis of war should be
sufficient answer to any query IN this
subject. This support was of the kind
that BELTS men and women imbued
with our republics ideals, and who
realize that when a government that is
founded on these ideals falls h loss
Is an individual n for every Ameri-
can citizen worthy of the name.
Organized labor distinguishes be-
tween a government that rests op the
within of one man or a small group of
men and a government of, by and for
the people.
Our 1919 Labor day celebration fea-
lures this difference between the two
systems Of government which recently
struggled for mastery. The thought
behind these systems is older than n
nation. In truth, nations are but an in
cident, but a process, in this struggle
of human liberty and advancement
versus the ancient theory of govern
ment so well illustrated by German
junkerdom.
Organized labor is not a peace move
ment. While we long for the day of
f-l,,gtr;a1 oa-an-J xrAan ItonY,fao ha-
tween capitalists and laborers will not
longer feature our Industrial life, we
refuse to paralyze our movement by
surrendering the right to strike against
wrong when other methods fail.

LABoR's RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
Acknowledgment Merely Puts Work
Ingman on the Same Plane as
the Capitalist.

If there is not n right on the part
or the workingman to organize, then
there ought not to be a right on the
part of capital to organize. 1t is the
organization that makes capital strong.
and it is not fair, from the legal point
of view or any other point of view. to
prevent the rest of the men dealing
with capital from getting strength
with organization that only organiza-
ton brings.
1 am for the laboring man. Justice
must be done him or there can be no
justice in this country. We must all
be partners in the game of government
and no one man must be allowed to
play the part of a hog.-Woodrow VII.
