It looked more like a chicken she said bringing smiles to the faces of those in the court room. She caused another smile when in being ques- toned by Attorney Hull about the eagle being missing she said that she did not know where it was when she looked at the mirror after it was found.

 American business will never rise higher than the minds of the men that make it Buck Up"
 ''Dream big dreams and then put on the overalls and make the big dreams come true"
 Do you remember how the business world said wait, wait, wait till this is over or that is over and then business will be better. Now what are we wait tne for? There are hundreds of things that were given as reasons for Waiting and now they are all over why wait any longer? We've had strikes before hnd now we have millions of. trucks so tvhy should we worry We have got to live whether those that strike do or mot.
 After the armistice there was a de- pression, then came a crime wave and now a threatened strike but whom does the strike injure? It is the working snan. If the manufacturers can't man. ufacture the working man is out of em- s,Iovment. America is surely awaking to a sane and safe prosperity. It is surely coming. Newspapers and husi- ness men are looking up and bucking up and with this we are surely going i ahead.

 When droopfng pleasure turns to grief And trembling faith is changed to fear, The murmurins wind, the quivering leaf, Shall softly tell us. thou art neari On thee we fling our burdening woe. O Love divine. forever dear. Content to suffer while we know, Living and dying, thou art near,

CLEVELAND, Oct. 3.-The trial cf
Marian McCardle, charged VITA the
murder of Daniel S. Kaber, wealthy
Laheport publisher, her stepfatner, is
set for today. She will be the tAird
person tried for the crime. Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber, her mother, and Sal
vatore Gala, are now serving life SEN
tences for the crime.
The girls knowledge of the plan to
kill Kaber will be admitted by the de-
fense, according to associate counsel
for Miss McCardle, but a general de-
nial will be made that she participated
in the murder conspiracy.
1t will be pleaded that Miss Nc
Cardle's devotion to her mother pre-
vented her from makink any disclosure
of the plot to kill her step father.
Kaber was stabbed to death in his bed
two years ago by hired assassins,
charged to have been hired by ner
mother. Details of the plot of now
and when to kill him were discussed in
her presence by her mother and the
men hired to do the murder, it is al
legged.

CARE OF SPARE TIRES

The one or more spare tires that
every car should always carry are
quite as important as the tires on the
wheels and should be given the care
to which they are entitled. A recent
bulletin issued from the service de-
partment of the Spreckles "Savage"
Tire Company gives the following in
formation regarding the use and care
of "spare" or "extra" tires:
'It is a mistake to fasten a spare
tire to the back Of the machine ana
leave it there for an indefinite period,
with the intention of using it only in
the case of emergency. During a
prolonged period of idleness tire will
harden on the surface and so deter
iorate that when it is put into service
the tread will wear off rapidly. The
best plan is to change about with one
of the tires on the wheels. All the
tires should be made to work with
equal diligence and also have their
rest periods. 1t might be said thar
rubber gets tired from overwork or
indolent and incapable from too much
rest in the same manner as people do,
Tires used as spares should be COW
cred with tire covers. The tire cover
protects the casing from the destruc-
tive effects of light and the elements,
1t should be seen that water is not
caught and retained in the bottom Of
the tire cover. A small hole may I'D
vantageously be put in the cover to
obviate this possibility"

UNEMPLOYMENT
SITUATION IS
GRAVE IN STATE
Labor Federation Chief De-.
clares Most Trouble Caused
BY Fight for "Open Shop"
(By Associated Press) 2


SAN JOSE, Calf, Oct. 3.--Califor-
mia, in common with the rest of the
country, is facing a very serious con-
dition of unemployment. Daniel G..
Murphy, San Francisco, president OF
the California State Federation of La
Dor, declared in his annual report de-
/; livered to the organizations twenty
second annual convention here today.
The sitdation is growing worse as
winter approaches. Murphy de-
clared.
Hope was expressed by the speaker
that the unemployed conference called
by President Harding would be able
! to evolve some plan to relieve the sit
uation. Murphy said it was regret
tide that Secretary Paul ScharrenDerg
Of the state federation was unable to
accept an appointment to he commits
sion offered him by President Hard
ing.
Many controversies are being caused,
6r. Murphy said. by efforts of EN-
| plOyers to adopt the "American Plan"
in industry. Explaining the plan, the
president said it meant "discrimina-
ltion against union men IN industry,
ind return to system of years gone
by when the "boss" was the ALSO
sute autocrat and fixed wages, hours
Nnd conditions to suit himself, while
the worker vainly hoped for legis1a-
tion that would afford some relief.
Murphy in his report mentioned the
strike of oil workers in the central
California fields. GAS, the members
know, the Oil Workers International
Union is one of the few industrial
Unions chart red by the American
Federation of Labor" he said. "In
existence but a few years, it has
brought MANY advancements to the
workers of the oil industry. Dur
tlg the war all differences We're
referred to Federal Board of Med
iatiOn, and the decisions Of this board
were respected and observed by the
members of the union. 1t is the re-
fusal of the employers to continue
this policy that has brought about
the present deplorable situation. In
an effort to turn public opinion
against the union men. the employ
ers are issuing statements to the ef-
feet that the membership of the oil
workers unions is made up of Boil
sheviki, ETC., and also that the strike
is an effort to sovietize the oil indus
try. Those who are conversant with
the record of the oil workers know
these statements are not facts. The
plain truth is that the principles of
conciliation and arbitra ton. which we
heard SO much during the war, are to
be relegated to the scrap heap if the
employers have their way"
In concluding his report. Murphy
announced his retirement as president
after serving five years, and express
ed the wish that the state fedsr ration
would "carry on for labor"
