CONTINUED from Page ~

nm address to the workers of Detroit.
"In the past Labor day has been Il
holiday in honor of the man who tolls,
declared Secretary Davis. This year
it is a day that millions Of our people
would rather celebrate, not by taking
a holiday, but by going back to work
at a job. Labor day this year dawned
on a situation that calls to every loyal
American for the best thought. the
mightiest effort and the strongest
faith he can summon. This year
Labor day must be dedicated first OF
all to the meeting Of this imperative
human need of the idle"
Calls for Supreme Effort.
The dedication of the day to the re-
lief of unemployed estimated by the
labor secretary to number NEARLY
six millions" should carry with it. he
said, concerted effort on the part
of all Americans, be they employees or
employers. As measures of partial re-
lief the secretary proposed the under
taking of public works. the distribu-
ton Of work in mills. $50 that all may
have n job for ut least a part of the
week." and the shaking off fear and
the taking on of faith and courage.
"Above all we need to shake off
fear and take on faith and courage"
Mr.. Davis asserted. For the lack OF
that courage we are neglecting any
number of large undertakings that
would give mighty shove t" the
great stalled engine Of American mo
ductiOn."
Urges Fair Play.
The secretary in his address direct |
cd message to the employers OF the !
nation. declaring:
Don't set your wages by the hungry i
crowd Mt the gate to your mill. That
is only temporary wage. During the
war the pendulum swung over to the
side of the employees. Now ii has swung
hack to your side. Play fair and you
will do more to stabilize your business
and bring good feeling than anything
Else you can do. Keep in mind the fact
that those men who are swarming
around your gates looking for work
re the same human beings as your
self. They have the same aspirations i

It's "slilk Cow; Not "MiIch Cow"


Hereafter it will be milk COW" and
not ''milch cow'r-at least so far as the
United States department Of agricul-
ture is concerned.
This decision marks the termination
Of Il controversy in which etymologists
in the department have had not little
interest. Those defending 'milch" have
pointed to scriptural use and certain Of
the classics as establishing precetlents.
while the opposition has contended that
dairymen, ranollmen, and farmers in
general use milk" instead of .'miich"
almost universally. The advocates of
milk also favored that word because.
they cOntended, it was more strictly an
English word, while ''milch" was akin
to German Since ton of
language as well rs ideals is an article
in every PATRIOTS creed. it is thought
that this last sally of the milk de-
tenders helped as much as any to de-
Idle the question in their favor.

"A weather" Of autumn we shall
see such handsome examples
of the tailored dress, as that one pic
tured here, usurping the place of the
costume suit. When the air is keen
a scarf or small wrap, OF a mere
choker of fur, will provide that note
of warmth that may be needed.
Fashion, having determined upon
simple lines in daytime dresses, de-
crees that their decorations shall
make them interesting. The most is
made of opportunity for embroidery,
or other embellishments on them, and
sashes or girdles have become impor-
tant. In the dress pictured the sash
is of very wide, brocaded ribbon, fin
ished with a deep fringe, and the en-
broidery on the bodice and skirt is
ingeniously placed to make a setting
for it.

RESOLUTION

Whereas, Almighty God in his
omniscience has entered our midst
and called to dwell with Him in that
land where cometh no night our
highly revered and respected CO.
worker, Hon. J. Fithian Tatem; and
Whereas, The late Mr.. Tatem was a
man of large parts, a trustworthy
counselor, a cultured gentleman, a
loving father, a faithful husband and a
man of deep religious convictions; and
Whereas, By his death in the very
prime of life, when so many years of
active service were apparently before
him, this Board of Trade has sus-
tanned a grievous loss which will be
more deeply sensed as the years go
by; therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, That the Wildwood
Board of Trade hereby extends to the
bereft family of the late j.. Fithian
Tatem its deepest and most heartfelt
sympathy in this moment of sadness
and trial, realizing that
There is no Death! What seems so
is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call Death"
And believing that our beloved CO.
worker has gone TO a greater sphere
of joy and service in his Eternal Home.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That these
resolutions be sent to the family, that
a copy be spread upon the minutes
of this Board of Trade, and that copies
be inserted in all local papers.

AN OPEN LETTER
H. FOSTER GOSLIN,
President.


Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:
From the viewpoint of business eff
fciency there can be no possible ex-
cuse for the numerous cases of forged
and raised permits, Form 1410, that
are releasing floods of illicit liquor
and alcohol for beverage purposes.
An amateur crook can counterfeit
these forms with the greatest of ease,
for not even the simplest of precau-
tons are observed, cheap paper, ru-
ber-stamp signatures, and not even
the autograph of a clerk to give in
dividuality to the document, are an
bootlegger to help themselves to the
liquor in storage.
The Internal Revenue Department
in all other matters protects itself,
and even jitney tax receipts are care
fully engraved and verified. Why is
it that methods are so slipshod in pro-
tecting liquor Withdrawals covering
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
value, in some instances?
A banker who did not better pro-
tect his official paper would properly
lose all public confidence.
l recently inspected one of these
withdrawal permits bearing the rub
Der stamp signature of E. c.. Yellow
low Drohibitioo DirootOr of Naw York
and verified by the rubber stamp sig
nature of Charles H. Brown, Prohibi-
ton Director of New Jersey, and both
were forgeries on which a large guam
tity of whiskey had been withdrawn
from a warehouse whose proprietors
have been arrested three times. The
only Identification that could be con-
sidered personal were forged initials
under the rubber-stamp signatures,
that any bungling penman might
write.
In my letter to you of June Is, 1921,
| wrote you a warning on this sub
ject, urging that these permits be
protected by the use of specially pre-
pared paper, special engraving, and
by the provision for autograph sigma
lures and counter-signatures."
Under date of October Is, 1920, I
wrote to the same effect to your pre-
decessor, but, in the meantime, mil
lions of gallons Of illicit liquor have
doubtless been released for lack of
proper methods.
To these suggestions I would add
that every engraved withdrawal form
be serially numbered for each state,
and the State Director be held respon-
sible to account for every blank.
Might I also add hat there is a
menace to enforcement in the regula-
ton permitting basic permits to be is
sued to agents of distillers in the sew
eral states. Every distiller in the
United States might thus open an
agency in every state, and already
they are applying for branch agencies.
This is simply multiplying opportu-
mites for bootleggers to get alcohol
with which to compound their vile
poisons.
Owing to the serious situation and
the apparent disregard Of previous
warnings, I am giving this letter to
the public through the press.
Sincerely,
SAMUEL WILSON,
Assistant State Superintendent,
In Charge, Department of Law
Enforcement.
