GOVERNOR COOLIDGE SAYS
LABOR MUST NOT OPP
POSE PUBLIC.

Speaking last night at a dinner
of the Dartmouth College Alumni
Association at Boston, Governor
Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts
asserted that the leaders of high
ly organized labor fought to re-
member what happened to or-
ganized industry when it got to
the point where it thought it
could live without the law.
Gas capital went down when it
undertook to be the law" the
Governor continued, $50 organ
lied labor will fare if it goes to
the same point that organized in
dustry went. What we need to-
day is that labor and capital shall
be representative Of the will of
the great public. Government
must at all times represent the
great public will. If it does that
we have solved to a large extent

opened upen scenes of horrsT and later
through them saw much Of the suffer

the big organization which has saved
hundreds Of thousands of the people
In that part Of the world from death
by hunger and cold and Is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur
vivors, mere than a half million Of
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America Is their only hSps.
General AEgapetian served calamity
in the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks His wife, who &C
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
It was while In this service that her
baby was born In a hospital tent during
a battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles In one corner of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest Of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgaps-
tians returned to Armenia for brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What thsy
tell Of conditions and needs in Armenia
Is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than 49,
600 orphans, helpless little victims Of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation

FASHION SHOWS POPULAR
WITH RURAL AUDIENCES.

When a playwright decides to
write a rural play the chances are
more than even that he will have
the heroine wear clothes which
would excite ridicule and scorn
if worn on city street. 1t seems
to be "a fixed fact in the minds of
many fiction and play writers,
especially those who have never
been outside of Greenwich vii
lagc, that all Of those who live in
farm homes are nothing and
know less of up-to-date fashions
in clothes.
If such conditions ever did ex-
list, it was a long time ago. To-
day a visitor would go some dis
lance before he found the proto-
type of isis Hopkins" or Farm
er Hayseed."
Farm women today like up-to-
date clothes, and fashion shows
in their locality always bring out
a good crowd. There are fashion
shows and fashion shows, but the
kind put on by demonstrators sent
out by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges, where
good-looking clothes within the
purses Of those present are
shown, are on the increase. A
fashion show Of this type is
usually held at some central hall.
The models" are members of
the local clothing centers or
clubs. The clothes exhibited cy
the models are those that have
been made in club work under the
instruction Of the local leader and
the State specialists. Often
times especially if the results have
been unusually good or the idea
novel, the garment is made
over"
In Marion County, Mo-, a four
days demonstration was recently
given by the State clothing spec
ialist. These demonstrations in
cluded reimbursement of patterns,
fitting, finishing, remodeling, de-
signing, trimming, and the use
and manufacture of a dress form.
Old garments were brought to the
remodeling demonstration, and
the patterns were pinned on them.
On the days when trimming and
designing were studied, the audi
ence brought thread, needles, and
material. and worked under the
supervision Of the specialist and
her assistants.
The last day fashion show
was held to attract the atten-
ton Of women who were not al
ready enrolled in one of the cloth
ing clubs. At this show nine
women wore afternoon dresses

and reduced the area to 25O,O3O
dcssatineS. In 1917 the output
was only 3O,000,000 pools and the
price was % rubels per pood,
while in normal times it was only
> rublcs. Then in 1918 the land
was largely turned over to grain
raising and the area further re-
duccd to 10000 dcssatineS or
only p per cent of the previous
area and the production was only

the industry arise out the ashes
of political mistakes, lest the dry

they had made, five wore good
looking street dresses, and four
attractive cotton or bingham
frocks. Some of the models wore
becoming hats, which they had
made in class, to match their cos
tunes. Two babies wearing SEN
sible, comfortable clothes, all
made at home, including their
caps and shoes, made a hit with
the audience.
To display the garments for
girls of different ages five schoo
girls took part. There were two
boys on the stage, one wearing a
pair of trousers made from faith
er's old ones, and the other dis
playing with pride a comfortable
homemade school shirt. During
the fashion show the clothing
specialist lectured on attractive
color combinations, trimmings, de
signs, lines, sleeves, and finishing.
The result of the show is that
every clothing center in Marion
County plans to have clothing
demonstration of its own within
the next few months. The inter
est at the show in that valuable
aid to the home dressmaker, q
dress form, was keen. Twenty

many more are planning to buy o.
make one later.-News Letter.

SUGAR NOTES.

An exchange says it is time that
we stop cartooning the American
farmer as a jay with a beard and
hay seed in his head the butt Of
punstcrs and political speakers
1t is time, it is said, that we
crown him with a Sccptrc and a

of the whole situation in feeding
the world, then who on earth is?
Sugar production in Belgium
amounted to 5000 tons in 19l8-l9
while the year before it was H.
600 tons, and $1,000 tons the year
previous to the last mentioned.
-Four men stole some sugar from
ears in Manitowoc. Wis, and were
sentenced to one year hard labor
in prison.
OF the desperate collapse of the
Russian sugar industry only those
can speak who have witnessed the
falling apart of an industry that
once had only one rival in the
world. Every one knows how it
came about through the war and
revolution. It began with an III.
sufficient quantity of beet roots
reaching the factories as the in
dustrial leaders felt that that out
put had to be curtailed. In nor
NAL times 100,000,000 pools were
produced, but a tshe production
fell prices began to rise. Then
came inside troublesi n the fac
tories themselves. 1t began with
beet cutting knives. Most Of the
machinery had been brought from
Germany and the manufacturers
secured Sweden for knives to cut
the hehts. and these were not
forthcoming. No one ever
dreamed that as insignificant a
matter as beet knives simply could
demoralize the industry. but the
trouble began there. Then no
plows could be procured for deep
blowing and the second or third
year there were thousands Of acres
that had to go untitled. The Ger-
mans also plundered the cattle

EXPERTS NEEDED
IN GOVERNMENT?

Cardiff, Wales, Sept. ga sug-
gestion that governments should en-
ploy anthropologists in an advisory
capacity was made by Professor Karl
Pearson of London University at the
annual conference of the British As
ISOLATION which is just being held
here.
The governments of Europe, the
professor added, had all kinds of ex-
perts in their. service, but no eth
biological advisers.
"One has only to study the peace
of Versailles to see that it is ethnoIo-
gically unsound and cannot be per-
manent," he said. india, Egypt, Ire
land, even our present relations with
America and Italy, show only too
painfully how difficulty we find it to

red but rejoices in it-and that was
the strong impression L formed when

growers claim that they are losing as

in a courteous manner to vacate pri-

Mount Carmel relates how four auto
mobile loads of people visited his

orchard of pears, and with baskets

NEW LEADER FOR
~ 80
AMERICAN LEGION

, Cleveland, O., Sept. 22.-Who Is to
head the American Legion the COM
ing year is receiving attention in an
ticipation Of the second annual con-
.vention of the Legion opening in
Cleveland, Sept. 81.
Among those mentioned here for
the office of commander are Milton
J. Foreman, of Illinois Emmett
O'Neill, of Kentucky, Hanford Mac
Nider, of Iowa, and F. w. GaIbraitf1,
of Ohio.
Foreman was a colonel and state
commander. When he took charge
Of the Illinois department it was 21st

Kentucky is boosting O'Nei11 for

ganiZer and leader.
MacNider is said to have more
decorations than any other American

Electoral privileges were extended
to women on the same basis as men
under nearly a score of bills amend
ing existing statutes and there was no
serious debate on any except the Dill
mentioned in the first paragraph,
which provides for the enrolment or
women voters in small towns on Fri
day and Saturday of each week. Elk
ception was taken on the ground that
it Disseminated against larger towns
and exception was taken on the same
grounds to an amendment oHerlng
the same privilege to the city of New
London and towns and cities not hav-
ing the convention system of making

dropped. The judiciary committee ex-
planned that the purpose of the bill
was to give women the right to par
ticipate in nominating caucuses at
once in small towns. where 1t was pos
sible to meet the requirements of the
statutes in the limited time available.
Provision for special registration
boards to assist in the enrolment OF
new women voters was stricken out as
unconstitutional but the legislature
insisted on the maintenance of ITO be
made" lists except in the case of the
small towns that are authorized to
make voters on Friday and Saturday
of this week. Women already en-
rolled for town elections. under the
opinion of Attorney General Hrank E.
Healy and those already enrolled to
vote on school matters were auto
matically transferred to the general
voting lists and provision was made
for the voting by their maiden names

questions.
There were two special sessions, one
the continuation of the special session
that convened on Tuesday of last
week and the other one that was con-
vened theoretically at II a. m. upon
the adjournment of the first special
session.
