SHORT SKIRTS
AND BOBBED
HAIR WORKED
HARDSHIP ON DEALERS IN SOU
VENIR PICTURE POST
CARDS IN NEW
YORK.


NEW YORK, August 3l.-Short
skirts and bobbed hair have worked a
hardship on dealers in souvenir pict-
ure post cards-the variety that floods
the mail at this time of the year
from Summer resorts along the At
Iantic coast.
Previous to the advent of the afore-
named styles, stocks of these cards
showing beaches and cool walks were
ordered in advance in lots numbering
in tens Of thousands. AS the beaches
did not change, and as crowd re-
gardless of whether it was this years
crowd or last the cards could be sold
just the same.
Now, however, all is changed, A
picture showing the beach or board
walk Of a summer play ground with
women strol!ing about clad in dress
eS that brushed their shoe-tops can
be put down at a glance as ancient
stuff.
The tourist wants evidence to send
home indicating that he or she is
there now and that he or she is trail
ing up an up-to-date crowd. Hence
it is thumbs down for the picture card
Of yesteryear, to the distress and
financial loss of the dealer who laid
in large stocks at pre-war prices.

THE ORGANIZED
WORKERS WERE
CALLED UPON
TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT THE
TRADE UNION MOVEMENT
RETAINS IT'S VITALITY,
STRENGTH, ETC.
Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, August 3I.-Or-
ganized workers were called upon to
"shoy to the world that the trade
union movement retains its vitality.
its strength, its aspirations and its
sense Of eternal justice" IN a Labor
Day message from John L. Lewis.
president Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America.
Mr.. Lewis message follows:
Labor Day this year undoubtedly
has a deeper significance for the
members Of the organized labor
movement than in any other year
since labor day was instituted. We
are all painfully aware Of the terrible
business and industrial depression
through which Not only the people of
America but of the world are now
passing.
eve know that labor has carried
more than its just share of the burd-
en- Of the depression that followed the
closing of the most gigantic and de-
structiye war in the history of the
world. We know that labor has paid
and is still paying more than its just
share of the price at which the SAT
ETY. of civilization was purchased in
that war.
mot only are we fully cognizant
of all these outstanding facts, but
we point with unbounded pride to the
splendid record of labor in these try
ing years. Without the benefit of
compact body of organized workers in
America, fully determined to do their
patriotic duty, the war could not have
been won, for it was only through
the combined efforts of labor that
fuel, food and war supplies were pro-
duced with which to wage and win
the combat.
"Let US, therefore, on this Labor
Day turn our thoughts to what it all
means to America and the world. Let
each working man tell himself the
story of labor's record 1t will make
him better and stronger man than
he ever was before. Let each man and
woman in the labor movement recall
to mind the fundamental principles
upon which the labor union movement
is founded, for those principles are
as sound as the rocks of the mount
aims and as fundamental as the air
we breathe.
"The labor movement stands for
all that is good and just and fair in
industry. Because it stands for these
supreme ideals, ii should and must
have the heartiest support of every
man and woman who works. Fortu-
nate, indeed, are we, the millions who
are members of labor unions, that
we are able on this Labor Day to
boast our membership. On this, La
boris holiday, we show to the world
that the trade union movement retains
its virility, its strength, its aspira-
tons and it's sense of eternal justice"

CUBS ARE tanned
BY RED LUCAS
Greenwood Twirler Pitches NO-Hit,
No-Run Game In Third Game OF
Post Series Yesterday.

Greenwood won the third straight
game of the post series from Clarks-
dale yesterday, the score being 2 to
0. Lucas had the Cubs at his mercy
throughout the game, not allowing a
bit and never did a Clarksdale man
get to second base. Fast fielding
by Craven and Critz also featured the
game.
According to newspaper reports
from Clarksdale, 1t was another
queer" game, just as the two pre-
vious games, and we hope our neigh
bors will see something in the re-
naming two games, which will no
doubt decide the series, in which to
give the Indians little credit at
least, for some of the high class base
ball which they certainly have been
delivering during this series.
The two teams play here today and
tomorrow in Clarksdale, and should
another game be necessary to de-
eide the pennant, it will be played in
Greenwood Friday.

able to undersell their competitors
