Secretary Davis, head of the fed
eraI department of labor, has been in
office but a short time, but long
enough to discover what was already
apparent to many persons and that is
that mediatory efforts of a federal
board are of little value if the pledges
made between disputants are not ad-
hered to after the board completes its
work. So the secretary urges that
teeth" be put into undertakings OF
his department to bring peace in the
industrial world. He points out that
this proposed strengthening of the
arm of his office would not represent
compulsory arbitration. 1t would SIM
ply provide a method of compelling
an individual or an organization of
individuals to keep a promise, freely
and fully given. The source of much
of the labor trouble in this country
has been the fact that there has been
no way to enforce contracts made be-
tween employers and employees. In
this respect this form of contract diff
fers from all others.

Passover, the feast of uQleavened
bread, is to be celebrated this year be-
ginning Friday evening, April %, and
continuing a week, the concluding
service of the holiday falling on Fri
day. April 20. The festival of Pass
over reaches back to remote antiquity
when it was observed by the early He
brew tribes as an agricultural spring
festival. At an early period it was
transformed into a festival celebrat-
ing the redemption of the Hebrews
from Egyptian slavery. The festival
and the ritual ceremony observed dur
ing the seven days in which it is cele-
brated among Reform Jews, or eight
days among the Orthodox. is not only
identified with the exodus of the chill
dren of Israel from Egyptian tyranny
but further symbolizes joy in-the tri-
umph of liberty and freedom over op.
preston and slavery. During the
Passover week the unleavened bread is
eaten. This food. described as the
bread of afflietion," is a symbol re.
minding the present generation of tn,
hasty exodus of Israel from the land
of oppression.

ton to go to work and conduct our in

There is an enormous amount of bust
ness to be done in the world and the
United States will do it's share of it.
But it must be done at reasonable
prices. And, further, If we are to
have our share of this business, we
must remember that the world is one
great market. The price of wheat is
not determined in Chicago but in the
great international markets of the
world where the forces of supply and
demand operate.

Dorothy Dix Talks
The suggester Devil-2.
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.


But this is far from being the case.
Her husband, her family, her friends,
even casual acquaintance fall upon
her and demand to know why she
didn't get a different colored dress,
why she didn't get it made different
style, why she didn't have it made
shorter or longer, or fuller or scantier,
and why she didn't go to the dress
maker or shop they Patronize instead
of the one she did. And they never
cease until they have spoiled all her
pleasure. and make her feel that it is
the most inappropriate and unbecom-
ing thing she could possibly have
bought, and that she had been cheated
in the bargain.
The thing about the suggester that
fills you with awe and admiration is
his colossal nerve. His egotism is sub
lime. He is sure that he knows more
about a. subject that he has never in
vestigated at all, than the individual
who has devoted his life to studying it.
He may never have been out of his
! native village, or ten miles from home,
but he would not hesitate to tell an
Arctic explorer just exactly what to
take along on a cash to the North
Pole. He could not tell you the
names of the bones in his own body
but he suggests to a great surgeon
just how he should operate. He may
not have been able to make a living
for himself, but he is perfectly certain
that he can tell you how to run your
| own bank.
