children who are on the job of properly

and make us correct faults, except our
children.
"They have no finicky delicacy about

little side and the next time ] looked he
was on his little back. ] wouldn't OF been
surprised to Of saw him on his little STUN
mick next.
Mrs. Fink came in and / told her about
it-what do you think she said, .loeF She
said when her Oscar was 8 months old he
was sitting up already. Can YOU imagine
that. Joe? says 10 her; Mrs. Fink, l says,
any child that could sit up by itself at
that age must OF been an infant prodlgal.
And she SAYS, Well, she says, how do you
know he wasn't? It's no use wasting good
sarcasm on people like that, is it, Joe?
What do YOU think of the League of
Nations. Joe? ] still try to keep up with
the news, though what with the. baby and
the housework, it's no bagatelle, take it
from me. ] amt kicking, Joe, but ! wish
you d stay home and try IT for while and
leave pe go out on the road and sell
Daisy Canned Soups.
And say, Joe, please don't send home
any more samples. ] finished the last case
of Daisy Soups you sent home, out OF q
feeling of duty before pleasure, but my
stummick is jest starting to feel all right
again, and don't hardly think j can get
the neighbors TO accept any more cans, so
please don't send home any more samples,
Joe. And for another thing, j got tired Of
jumping up In the middle of my soup and
going out to look at the label on the can be-
cause ] could never tell what kind | was
eating by the taste. Don't send home any
more samples, will you, Joe?
/ started to say something about the
League Of Nations, but forgot what, now.
Don't you think Mary Pickford and Dug
Fairbanks made wonderful couple, Joe?
She's such a sweet girl, or at least she
seems to be in her picktures and they say
the camera don't lie, though it certainly
told wopper the last time you had your
photograph taken, didn't it, Joe? ] never
accused you of being handsome, Joe, but
your regular Appohnaris compared to
that picture.
By-by, Joe. Take care of yourself and
don't show no mercy in selling Daisy

. BROAD GAUGED STAND

n MEMBERS of the unions forming the Building Trades Council
IVl Of Albuquerque have again evidenced their Willingness to CO.
operate to keep building and business moving in albuquerque
in agreeing TO a compromise proposition with the painters union
which, if finally adopted, painters would receive $3.50 per day while
other trades, members of the council, remain at &S per day until Jan
uary /, when a general advance to 80 would be agreed to, provided
living costs have not recorded a general decline Of ten per cent. The
painters originally demanded so per day. The Building Trades
Council, first by o majority vote and finally by a practically unant
nous vote. refused to support the painters in the demand.
In spite Of the fact that several of the crafts require heavier in
ycstments in tools, more experience and considerably greater skill
the other unions in the council have agreed to remain at their present
wage until January !, while asserting to an increase Of so cents a
day for the painters until that time. Quite without regard to the
right o r wrong Of the stand taken by the painters. other trades have
shown a broad gagged spirit of healthy compromise and cancellation
which is commendable involving as II does a definite element OF sac
rifce Of what would certainly be a Just clahu on the part Of such
craftsmen as carpenters. to as high a wage as the painters.
We do not undertake to say whether or not painters should be
granted the 50efnt advance at this time. The point worth en-
phasizing here is that an overwhelming majority of members of the
building trades in Albuquerque are standing FOR settled conditions
steady work and an open road to progress and prosperity, even when
well defined personal sacrifice is involved.
