Each reader is invited to picture in his or her
mind the delegates 70 national convention

value.
one declared for a standardized dress for bust

apparel as a means of reducing the high cost Of
living
Most persons can imagine without any great ef-
fort these gentle DANES who favor a standardized
dress for business The vintage may be fur

the Book of Ecclesiastious. Wisdom
is the mother Of fair Love, Hope and
holy Fear, and this idea is said to
have suggested the allegory of the
holy woman with three daughters
so-called, and in compliment TO the
newly built church the niece Of JUS
tianian's empress, afterward wife Of
his nephew and successor. was called
Sophia. The name straightway be-
came fashionable among the daugh-
ters of the nobility Of Greece and
was carried, through Slavonians, to
Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess of that name in 919, and an
other. daughter of King Geysa. mar
ried Magnus Of Saxony and spread
the use of the name throughout
SaxOny. Denmark is said TO have
received 1t through this latte prin-
cess and has since made IL almost a
national name. It's vogue with the
royalty OF Denmark is unmistakable
and it's use spread through all
classes
England barely escaped having a
Queen Sophia, and even though So
phia Dorothea of Yette never actu-
ally assembled the throne of England,
her granddaughters gave it vogue in
the British Isles in the reign of the
house of Hanover.
England claimed both Sophia and
Sophy. France makes hers Sophie;
Italy. Sofia; Germany, Sophia and
Fieka, and Russia, Scotia.
Sophia has an odd talismanic
stone-malachite. 1t protects its
wearer from danger, if it is engraved
with an image Of the sun. 1t is par
ticularly potent for children and is
said TO ward off disease and pro-
mote peaceful slumber if attached
to a childs cradle. Saturday is So

THE BREAK IN THE GAME.
OR WON BY A YELL

It was an exciting game from
every viewpoint. The teams
were evenly matched, and the
half ended with the score a tie
at eleven points The forwards
were having no little difficulty
in getting by the guards TO get
a basketball players favorite
shot, a short from under the
basket
The next half found the same
eveness in the score. In fact
when the time for the game
had ended the score was still a
tie. this time at 20 points. In
order to settle the supremacy
test an overtime period Of five
minutes was played.
During the overtime period
the allotted time was nearly up
with neither team having scored
a point. There was now but 80
seconds left 20 play and the
rooters for both teams were
frantic. They kept yelling for
a basket until their shouts took
on the resonance Of the break
ers.
All the back guard had the
ball and no one was near him.
The captain Of his team shouted
shoot. He carefully guaged
the distance 10 the basket and
prepared 70 end the agonizing
contest. There was now but 20
seconds left, and calm had
come over the stands. All were
breathlessly awaiting the out
come OF the shot.
His arms were now extended
with the ball. Would he make
il. or would he? everyone was
spellbound
Then one Of the rooters for
the other team generously
bawleG with all his might
You're too far away. don't
shoot" The player who had
the ball cropped it as though it
was a bomb ne had in his hands
instead OF a basketball. One OF
his nimble witted opponents
doshed up and picked the ball
of the floor. He dribbled once
and then shot. The bail hit the
ring and fell in. The game was
won. all because OF his own
ability. and the brains Of one OF
his supporters.

Editor Baine, of the Shoe Workers
Journal, in leading editorial, "No
Reduction in Wages"
The labor editor says that the $3.50
shoe went to $40, or tripling in price,
while the labor cost of the shoe went
from so cents to 81 during the war
period. This is very close to what
happened in all grades of shoes.
"Shoe workers have never received
increases in wages proportionate to
increased costs of living and the in
creases they did receive were not re-
sponsible for 200 per cent increase
in the cost of shoes to the consumer.
Let those who are responsible for the
latter fight it out among themselves.
An increase of 40 cents per pair on
the pre-war $3.50 shoe was not the
cause of that shoe later being retailed
at SO, an increase in retail price of
$3.50.
