SAYS LABOR GETS SO CTS.
ON SIS PAIR OF SHOES

Washington April 26.-The railway labor
board continued It's hearings on the wage
demands of the brotherhoods. Timothy
Shea. Hce-president of the brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen. told the board
that additional pay for railroad workers
would not have the effect OF increasing
the cost OF living unless the excuse was
seized upon by profteers to exploit the
public.
Labor is only a small item in the cost
of production. Shea said. He declared that
the labor bill on shoes which now sell
for sl7 to s1s a pair is only rs cents.
Railroad officials will attempt to show
that increasing the wages of their en-
ployes will cost many millions of dollars
he said, but the claim will be disapproved
by labor spokesman.

NAVY OARSMEN
DEFEAT HARVARD
Crimson's Varsity, second varsity and
Freshmen Crews Outrowed

FTcSnnten NTcWH OutrOwe0
Annapolis, Mr., April 2s--The Grim
son OF Harvard was trailed in defeat
over the two-mle course of Severn
River by the Annapolis midshipmcn in
a three cornereJ rowing regatta be-
tween varsity. second varsity and
freshmen eight cared shell crews to-
day. The navy victories In each in
stance were clear cut and marked the
second triumph the sailors have rec
corded over Harvard oarsmcn in two
years.
The navy varsity eight swept across
ahead of thor opponents; the navy
second crew went over by a five and
a half length margin. while the mid
dies plebes showed the way to the
Harvard freshmen TO the extent of
four lengths.
The official time of the crews was:
Navy varsity 114S. Harvard 1906. Navy,
second crew, 1918; Harvard, second
varsity, 1898; Navy plebes. 1894; Har-
ward Freshmen. 1910.
The races were rowed in an almost con-
tinual downpour OF rain and chilly air
and an eaSt-southeast wind made the
course rough, especially for the varsity
brush. which was rowed last.
Strikingly similar was the manner In
which the rival crews rowed Navy pull

The varsity brush was of course the MAR

San Reno. April 23-Armenia is to be

vague letter to tho League asking 1t
to take the mandate. The League
executive at a meeting in Paris replied
favorably, but called attention to the
fact that it had no funds and no staff.

authorize an international loan guar

council.
1t was pointed out that the new
state ought not be buroened with a
large iebt to begin with and the coun-
Gil was also requested to eject the
Turkish forces from tho borders of
the new state These proposals have
not been accepted by the council
which thus declines to avail itself of
the League as a suitable mandatory
1t is understood that IL the League has
been provided with money it might

not accept, then Sweden or Spain.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
In the Boarding House
By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE.

No place in the world is there greater
need for all of the courtesy and much
of the formality that good manners re-
quire than in the boarding house.
1t may be that in your own home mem
bers Of your family have become ac-
customed to your shortcomings in this
respect, but all men-and women. too
are created equals when it comes to
courtesy that is required when they at
tempt to live in boarding houses.
Recently a little unpleasant dispute
arose in the dining room at breakfast
time between one of the boarders and the
young waiter.
II don't care for baked apple" said
the boarder to the waiter. please let me
have orange juice"
Baked apples are the only fruit we
have for breakfast this morning, sir re-
piled the waiter.
The boarder began reluctantly eating
the baked apple until he noticed that an
other boarder received orange juice.
you said there weren't any oranges"
he snapped at the waiter and went on
arguing, sometimes to himself and some
times to the others at the table, until he
had finished breakfast.
The man doubtless had a real griev-
ance, but he should have kept his re-
sentiment to himself and later have
brought the matter to the attention OF
the manager of the boarding house.
Remember, too, that sometimes special
privileges are afforded certain boarders
because they pay for them.
WHAT READERS ASK.
How should pie be eaten according
to strict table etiquette?'
1t should be eaten by means Of fork.
