Come Aoain, Sailor

Dear Cynthia-I hope you will print
this letter in your dandy little column
for the benefit of AN American" and
also for Seventeen.
Oh. IAN American" how could you
say that the people don't appreciate
sailors! If had hold of you I believe
I would give you little shake and a
scolding for daring to say such thing.
It's only the ungratcful people who
don't like them. and you may be sure
that they are the first ones to kick
when we need our boys. And "Seven
teen God bless you for standing up
for them. I'm sure they (most of
them) must like you, you re letter was
so sensible. 1 would love to meet you.
although I guess you are pretty busy
with all your friends. Will you please
write again, Seventeen" and by doing
SO YOU will oblige, \ SAILOR.
p. ST. enjoy your column i'm
mensely. Cynthia. If I didn't get it
every night would feel as if were
back in France. \. S.

Dear Cynthia-It just occurred to me
tonight what a sweet tempered and
obliging young man Buck Private" is.
l was so Interested to know that he is
really old enough to shave. for his first
letter left me under the impression that
he was a mere youth in knickers trying
to act grown up by writing for advice
or information from your column.
l am quite sorry for a number of
things, "Buckie''-namely. that I do
not know your address, that YOU do not
know what "bandoline" is, that am
not selling it and that I cant send YOU
any. Let's drop this subject now.
I won't try to work on Buck Pri-

Radishes are the early harbingers of

Rhubarb. which is one of the earliest

Labor Demonstrations il

MEXICO CITY, Sept. N.-Alleged ef-
forts Of ]. w. W. Representatives to en-
gage Mexican labor in a general strike
on the American continent Oct. 1 were
a failure, according to the evidence to-
day.
Demonstrations here and in other
Mexican cities yesterday were orderly
and the only action taken was the adop.
ton Of a series Of resolutions relatins
10 living costs and working conditions.
Previously the l. W. w. delegates had
announced that the meetings had been
called to arrange for Mexican participa-
ton in a general strike to start on the
North American continent Oct. l and
thereafter to spread throughout tho
world.
In Mexico City 1000 laborers marched
in a parade carrying banners with the
usual labor slogans and listened to a
number Of speeches regarding labor's
aims and rights,
The meeting demanded government ac-
ton to reduce the cost of living and
the appointment Of a price regulating
commission.
Several paraders. however. gained ad-
mission to the national palace and ad-
dressed a crowd from q balcony.
They urged action for the triumph

Some red flags appeared in the parade.
No attempt was made to break up the

there was no disorder.

times for weeks, practically eliminated
if modern motor equipment, such that it
might also be used in ash collection, were
purchased for the garbage collection de-
partment.
The plan would then be to use the
greater part Of the combined equipment
for ash collection in the winter when
garbage is light and the majority for
garbage removal in the summer when the
work of the ashhauling department is
correspondingly easy.
Under the present system, the cham
pions Of the new plan state. most of the
ash equipment lies around the city yards
unused through the warmer months,
while the present ancient garbage equip
ment rusts and falls to pieces during the
winter.
The work Of both departments might
be done with even less total equipment
than used at present If some plan for the
interchanging of apparatus were devised,
some officials say.
They also recall that some time ago
City Purchasing Agent Dwight S. Rit
ter prepared an estimate on the cost Of
motorizing the garbsgt collection de-
partment, which showed that the total
cost Would De around SoO.DOV.
1t is being pointed out by those whose
lips are not sealed by the two cont'nding
boards that It is very likely that at
least $4,000 worth OF horse and mule

lection purposes within a year or 80. the

quently being described as being in mis-
cradle condition even at the time It was
purchased
It costs. in round figures. $4,000 per
year to feed the animals and repair the
ancient equipment now In use. while the
advocates Of the modern system say. mo-
tor equipment could be operated and re-
paired for not more than $4,000.
Thus the city could purchase $4,000
worth Of new motor equipment, which
would be amply SUFFICIENT to handle gar
bage and help out the ashhauling de-
partment, and still spend TO more money
next year than would be used II the
present antiouated system Is continued.
The total cost OF new horse equipment
and upkeep would be $4,000. for which
sum the motor equipment could be pur-
chased and repaired, and after the motor
apparatus is paid for the upkeep would
be some $50 900 less.
