FIGHTS ABROGATION
Real Tangle Due to Inadequa-
cies of Officials, Says
Lauck.

CHICAGO. March 2s. - Inefhcient
management is costing the railroads
of the nation $1,000. 100000 a year
w. Jett Louck. consulting labor
economist, told the United States
Railroad Labor Board today
Opposes Abrogatien.
Lauck appeared for rail employees
to show why national shop agree
ments between employers and en-
ployes should not be abrogated as
asked by rail executives.
Lauck said the rail tangle was
due to ''tfe inadequacies of man
agement and not national agree
ments."
IF railroad management was
characterized by reasonable eff
cheney and had available for Its
use a proper amount Of credit or
capital. labor costs would have
tional agreements" said Lauck.
He charged that the carriers ar
guments to have national agree
ments abrogated are to prevent the
establishment of human standards
In INDUSTRY.
Oners Demonstration.
I'VE shall demonstrate that the
railroads are now consciously and
deliberately taking advantage of a
temporary industrial depression to
destroy human standards which are
sanctioned by the thought and prac-
tice of the leading industrial ma
tions of the world" Lauck stated.
Attacking the claim of w. w
Atterhury, vice president of the
Pennsylvania Lines, that national
agreements produce inefficiency and
waste, Lauck declared:
I'VE will soon submit evidence
to show conclusively that the out
put of employees. or their productive
ericiency, has greatly increased as
compared with the prewar period
and that a much greater volume of
trafic has been handled by fewer
employees working a fewer num-
Der of hours"

SPLINTER MARKS FAR NORTH
Little Peninsula Extending Into Lake
of the Woods In Canada Is
American Territory.

Many Americans have worried about
a stubby little peninsula which extends
from Canada into the Lake of the
Woods north of the forty-ninth paral-
lei, which marks the established bound
airy between Canada and the United
States from the Lake of the Woods to
Puget sound.
This small area, chopped off from
Canada and surrounded on three sides
by the waters of the Lake of the
Woods, belongs to the United States.
Disregarding Alaska, 1t is the north
ernmost land of the American republic.
No map shows any town or village
In the remote and isolated region. 1t
appears merely as trackless forest
wilderness.
Now it Is indicated that there is a
village in this forgotten enclave, for a
post office has been established at Pc
nasse, and weekly mail service is
maintained. During the winter the
service will be by horse and sleigh
across the ice of the lake.
In the summer a motorboat will be
used.

Fairy Tale
THE BEETLES PARTY.
6yWARY GRAHAM BONNER
--coFInohT ~ WESTERN UNION

"Good-day," said Mr.. Black Beetle.
''Will you come to my party?'
"Thank you." said Mr.. Benjamin
Beetle, II will be glad to come to your
party. And what time do you plan to
have this party?"
Fright away" said Mr.. Black Beetle.
II see no reason for waiting"
Neither do l." said Mr. Benjamin
Beetle. II like parties that begin at
once and don't end for long time.
trust yours will last for long time.
Mr.. Black Beetle?'
at WILL" said Mr.. Black Beetle.
"And now he added, Il must be
asking the rest of my guests"
May l help you give the invita-
tions?" asked Mr.. Benjamin Beetle.
by all MEANS" said Mr.. Black Bee
tie, land l will be grateful to you for
your help"
pray don't mention it." said Mr..
Benjamin Beetle. 81 will be much
pleased to be of help"
And may l help, too?" asked Mr..
Billy Beetle.
Indeed you may" said Mr.. Black
Beetle, land l will be just as grateful
to you as to Mr.. Benjamin Beetle. 81
will be very grateful to both of you.
81 have lot of gratitude in my Bee
tie heart, for you know if one feels
lots of gratitude one is very happy"
"What does all that meanE asked
Mr.. Benjamin Beetle.
Gratitude" said Mr.. Black Beetle,
lis another word for thanks. A crea-
ture who is grateful is a creature who
is thankful or who wants TO thank for
many things.
zone can't run out of gratitude or
thanks like ladies can run out of eggs
or butter or milk They run out of such
things when they haven't enough to
last for all the meals they plan to
have.
THAT is quite natural. But with
gratitude it is different. Gratitude is
something we can all have. How? by
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-06-04

thinking of all the things which make
US want to be thankful.
"Of course we can't always say our
thanks, but even then we can feel
gratitude or thanks.
1--WE can't very well say thank you
to the sun for shining or to the rain
for coming when the ground is dry
and needs a cooling drink. We can't
very we'll say thank you to the flowers
which come out In the spring and in
The summer. We can't very well say
thank you to the stars for blinking and
twinkling and smiling at creatures by
night.
1.-THE stars are too far away and so
is the sun and so are the rain clouds.
But, just the same we can feel
thanks and feel gratitude. SO you see
1 feel a great deal of gratitude and
thanks to my good friends who are
helping me. And l say so to both of
you"
Then the Beetles grinned in their
Beetle fashion and crawled off TO ask
the other Black Beetles to come TO Mr.
Black Beetles party.
All the Beetles came. and there were
many, many Black Beetles at the
party. Mr.. Benjamin Beetle and Mr.
Billy Beetle also belonged to the Black
Beetle family, and they were very
much excited over the party.
The guests all had an extremely
good time. They played games, they
climbed on each others backs and had
a gay Beetle frolic.
They had good things to eat and
some of them sang little songs, very
funny little buZZing. squealing songs,
which they all thought were very
lovely.
"There are some creatures" said
MIR. Black Beetle, who think that the
blue lake yonder, which is surrounded
by those blue hills, is the loveliest
sight in the world, and others think
the shadows which play over the lake
are the loveliest, but to my Beetle
mind there is nothing like a gathering
of the Black Beetles. That, to me, is
a lovely, lovely sight"
And all the Black Beetles agreed as
modestly as they could.

TOO REALISTIC FOR MOTHER
Good Feather Bed Went Beyond
Limits of Patience.

The centenary of the death of Ma
poleon Bonaparte, which France cele-
brated May 6, was observed in strik-
ing way by three little brothers who
live not far from London.
Their ages ranged from five to eight,
and the eldest had heard from his
school teacher of the approaching cen
tenary SO he arranged to have a
game with his brothers at Napoleon
Crossing the Alps"
To make the thing realistic they
thought they would like some snow,
but as the meteorological conditions
were not favorable they decided to
manufacture some. So when mother
was nicely out of the way they emp
tied the contents of feather bed into
the garden.
