Worth Knowing
To test an oven for bread, put a

minutes the oven is just right; if the
heat is too great above a baking pan,
lay a piece of brown paper over the
top; if too hot below, slip in under

and close the oven door carefully, as

Fur Workers Enjoined

New York Justice Newburger of
the Supreme Court has rushed to the
aid of bosses in their fight against
organized fur workers, who have been
on strike for five months to enforce
equitable working conditions.
Justice Newburger has issued an in
junction. To one unacquainted with
American Institutions the courts order
reads as though we have no police
power oenforce law or jury trials to
hear charges of law violation. Ac-
cording to the employers, thuggery
and gang rule by the strikers is ram
pant, and an Injunction is necessary
to protect life.
Instead of suggesting to employers
that the law provides for such charges
the court issued one of those sweeping
''thou-shall-not'' edicts that gladden.
the heart Of cheap labor, sweat shop
employers. This order was issued on
the one-sided testimony of the employ
ers.
Justice Newburger and these en-
ployers are great believers in the
American idealof justice for all citi-
zens.
The fur workers are striking for
the union shop, a 44-hour week, equal
division of work in slack seasons,
arbitration of discharge cases and linz
iting overtime.

Such is Life

Wonder waht has, or what will be-
come of the fancy glasses which used
to contain the beverages which sizz-
led and dubbed.
When you stop to consider the num-
Der of fancy drinks folk used to sip
and the various sorts Of glasses we
used-one for each variety of sip
there must be a lot of them stored
away somewhere.
When you serve lemonade, use one
of the long-stemmed champagne COB
lets. Then the little lemon seed will
get stuck down in the slender portion
and it will be much harder to wash.
And who knows, maybe you'll have
to break the glass to get the seed out.
In serving tea apply the old-time
beer mug. Then your neighbors won't
be passing their cups back so often.
When you serve soda and warm
water to the stomachachey youngster,
use port wine glass. Then he'll only
ahve to take about half of the dose.
The rest will run over on your table

Gee, it must be tough to have to

The InSider Says
JOHNNY couLoN SAYS.

JOHNNY COULON SAYS:
Because have few tresses left
Upon my bean, they say
Although was boxer once
That now | am passe.
But would warn the critic bunch
To judge me not in haste,
And tell TENN ri be boxing when
I've whiskers to my waist.
Veteran followers of the fistic game
will be interested to learn that Johnny
Coulon has gone abroad again. He
has a couple of French youths who
are willing to box him and he really
expects to meet Jimmy Wilde before
he returns.
Now, Johnny at one time was king
of the bantams. He was real wonder.
Oldtimers recall how he used to tour
the country with his father as his
manager. Johnny used to knock 'em
tsiff in the ring and his father never
knocked down any dollars at the turn
stiles.
The Coulons, father and son, kept
the money in the family, and the re-
suit is that Johnny is landlord now
and owns a flock of Chicago apart
ment houses.
AS matter of fact, Johnny
shouldn't be going to Europe as a
boxer but as a blooming sightseer-
one of those Yankee tourists with
pockets full of kale.
Perhaps he is figuring on just max
ing his expenses by a couple of bouts
in Paris.
Anyway, the French boxing fans
should receive Johnny more in the
light of tourist than a boxer.
Johnny wears an iron hat and it
covers a bold head. He is getting
along in years and he can't box 2
cents worth any more.
That's not to his discredit. That is
simply meant as a kindly warning to
the gallant French boxing enthusiasts
not to judge American bantamweight
boxing by Johnny's efforts in the ring.

English OverWorked
Will Soon Be Rarity

London, Eng-The overworked
English wage Garner will soon be a
rarity, is the opinion of the chief in
spector of factories and work shops,
who says the shorter work day is
rapidly replacing the old system of
long, monotonous toll.
1t is stated that shortened working
hous has had beneficial effect on
wage earners, more so than any other
recent improvement in industrial con-
ditions..
Better timekeeping, less fatigue
and overstrain and no increase in &C.
cidents, despite the fact that more
men are employed in engineering
(metaD trades, are other marked re-
suits.
Wit hregard to sickness, the re-
port cites large factory where some
years ago the average number of alb
adoption of the shrdlu shrdluhrdlu
sentees were 40 daily. Since the
adoption of the 44-hour week the the
average has dropped to 10 daily.
A npoit of interest to employers
who have incessently deplored the
shortening of hours and insisted that
a proportionate decrease in produc-
ton would inevitably follow, is that
according to the report, where output
was largely or entirely dependent on
the worker, there was frequently no
loss in production; indeed, in one
wholesale tailoring establishment an
increase of. 40 per cent was reported.
In another instance, boot factory,
where the hours of work were reduced
from So to 48 per week, there was a
considerable increase in output.

Hays, Political
Napoleon Draws
the Goat" Job
By Edward M. Thierry

Chicago-In Chicago they're now
calling Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican national committee, the
Napoleon of them all.
They are giving the lions share of
the credit for the Republican landslide
to this political wizard"
But there's joker in the compli-
ments they're handing Hays, viz.-the
"goat" job of the campaign.
Fears Big Deficit
The Republican national committee
has deficit estimated at 100000,
the largest deficit in American politi-
cal history. That must be collected
And all the Republican leaders are
saying:
LET Will do it,"
So Will H Hays, who was the
brains behind the drive that Melted
more than 100000 before the cleo
ton, is the goat"
Fred Upham, Republican national
treasurer, is receiving the money. But
Hays must do the directing and see
that the books balance.
The lids off new. The thousand
dollar limit on subscriptions is off. 1t
is claimed the deficit will be made up
quickly.
The recent Upham financial state
ment showed the Republican national
committee had spent $S,424,s92. Be-
sides it was responsible for getting
the funds spent by the congressional
and senatorial committees, estimated
at between 100000 and 100000. This
will boost the total cost of the Repub-
lican victory to more than $4,000,000.
Four Years Ago
Previously the biggest campaign de-
felt was the $65O,0O0 owed by the
Democrats on election day four years
ago.
Hays is expected to clean up this
job as well as he did that of organ
izing Republican forces. They call
him the miracle man" because he
began working IS months ago on his
budget system and plans in general,
SO that he had a perfectly functioning
machine the day Harding was NOM
mated.

Sportitorial

The recent report of the U. s..
Olympic committee shows that while
America acquitted itself we'll at the
games in Antwerp we, as country,
did not do our best.
The sending of nearly three times
the number of athletes abroad that
took part in the games of 1912 at
Stockholm necessitated skimping
policy in the purse strings which
caused storm of protest from the
personnel of the team.
The United States won the Olym-
pics despite the financial handicap but
under better living conditions they
could have done better.
That is our lesson for future Olym-
pads. The flower of our country's
athletic strength deserves nothing but
the best. The raising of funds by
popular subscription is o. k. so far as
the principle is concerned. It proved
a f1ivver in actuality.
These boys-our representatives
deserved the nations backing. An
Olympiad is not a trivial matter. 1t
concerns every one of our 109 millions
of people. It represents a nations
honor. It means more to our country
than the building of battleships be-
cause it encouraged the building Of
strong men.
The absurdity of sending our stars
abroad as representatives Of the Q. s.
and forcing them to buy their own
athletic equipment is bad business.
No wonder our boys didn't like 1t.
We don't even like to think about it
now. Yet it was true in many in
stances.
Popular subscription for supporting
such an event sounds all right but it
isn't practical. If they represent Uncle
Sam it's his job to see that they are
properly clothed, fed and sheltered
while upholding his standard of honor.
The management Of the 1920 U. s.
Olympic committee reaped a barrel
full of criticism. They may have made
some mistakes. But the real mistake
of the whole affair was that the finan-
cial burden wasn't properly met by
you and me and Uncle Sam.
We won, even with the handicap.
But other countries threw scare into
us by their remarkable showings.
Let there be no handicap imposed
on Americas athletes in future Olym-
pads.
So here our bunch. Give Olympic
representatives of America govern
ment backing. Then there won't be
any slips or an unsatisfactory after
math.
