Perhaps the Board of Education fails tc
consider the knights holiday when planning
the opening date for the public schools, but

any youngster when his school opens and
he will answer you promptly in terms of so
many days after Labor Day. He has had 1t
bred in his system that in some mysterious
manner Labor Day manages to open up the
schools and wake up the truant officer.
Taking all these things into consideration,
one wonders how we ever did get along be-
fore there was any Labor Day How did
people know when 1t was time to leave the
summer resorts? What does Wyoming do,
for instance, about the school situation?

You might think there was heavy de-
murrage charge on lingering after Labor
Day had spent itself, or that the closed
season began with energetic wardens round
ing up the aliens and inficting punishment
according to the law. Or If your mind ran
to more practical matters you might suggest
that possibly Maine wasn't much of a sum-
mer resort after the first week in September.
AS for the last named alibi, we have ex-
perienced weeks in August when Maine was
anything but a summer resort, when the
fog settled in for a fortnight stay AID the
icebergs seemed just off shore. And we have
seen weeks in September when day after
day of gorgeous weather was ratified out of
the box.
No, IL isn't a question of weather or OF

leave Maine to the regular taxpaying citizens

made to explain why Wyoming Jagged or
what was the matter with the Philippines.
This was all left to inference, which Is a
poor way for an encyclopedia to sidestep an
argument.
But finally, with the persistence of born
reporter we came on an authority who was
willing to go on record concerning the
source and origin of Labor Day. This man
know had dipped into the history of the
thing and had condensed his findings into
an intelligent paragraph or so of pertinent
gossip.
Back In 1882, he said. the knights of
Labor paraded In New York city on the
first Monday in September. At the time
they had no idea of establishing a precedent
Of forcing a holiday on future gener-
ations. They just paraded and had a good
time and it happened to be the first Monday
in September.
Two years later the Knights of Labor had
another parade up Fifth avenue. Whether
1t was coincidence the result of careful
planning, the calendar showed that ii was
another first Monday in September. Anyway,
the Knights were so pleased with the idea
that they passed few resolutions setting
aside this day annually for parades and
meetings. And throughout the country the
knights of Labor followed the New York
fashion.

Labor
By TORREY FORD.

HOLIDAYS are funny things. The less
- we know about them the harder we
4 take them. Volumes may be writ
ten on Why We Celebrate, and yet the
average person refuses to be enlightened.
For all practical purposes he prefers his
own private interpretations of the days that
appear on the calendar in spotted vermilion
letters.
Which leads us on up to the faint but
audible query as to why Labor Day, the day
when nobody labors-that is, nobody bat the
train crews. the baggage men, the resort
people, the baseball-ers and a few thousand
other folk who just naturally can't get up
any enthusiasm for rolling down their
sleeves and putting on white collar.
Why should Labor Day, the least impor
tant holiday as far as anniversaries are
considered, be such a vital date in the annual
schedule of the nations activities? Who
elevated 1t to such peak Of peerless prom
inence? Is it Samuel Gomperss birthday
or a commemoration of the founding OF the
J. w. W.? Or what?
The ordinary citizen. well enough informed
on most points, who celebrates Labor Day
SO strenuously, is apt to weaken when urged
to set down a brief prospectus Of the why's
and wherefores of the holiday If he We're
a walking dictionary. the sort of person who
could breeze through an Edison question
naire without stopping for breath, he might
be able to bluff through with a few vague
hints that the day was set apart for Labor
to do-well to do something or other
one could never be too sure just what Labor
was up to. And that is about all you could
get out of him.
AS a matter of fact, with the text books
at hand 1t wasn't too easy for an nvest-
gator to run on any set of facts that would
provide a plausible excuse for closing down
the banks OF the country, jamming up the
roads with motorists and causing the general
hubbub that Ats in with the regulation pro-
gramme of Labor Day.

Cannot Abolish Holiday
But Easy to Make One

It's easy enough to add holiday TO the
list but what wall goes up when some one
suggests erasing one You could start
fight in any community by intimating that
with the suppression of the firecracker
Fourth Of July has become a wornout device.
Yet four hundred years and more ron by
before we get around to considering that
Christopher Columbus deserves few holiday
trains, a special matinee and day on the
golf course, not to mention some brass band
parades and a little oratory in his honor
For time wen associate October IL with
the man who discovered America, and then
we'll get to setting the date down as the
day to start the furnace. to get out the
heavy underwear, to see about covering up
the rose bushes and getting In q cord OF
hard wood for the fireplace. Or we may
remember il az the day they stage the finals
in the club championship. Anyway, before
long we fnd ourselves a long way from re-
membering about Columbus.
Holidays are, as we tried to hint in ths
opening stanza, funny things. But they are
useful In our highly developed state OF
civilization. They help to unravel many
trying situation. And while the knights of
Labor may have had only vague notion
of what they were actually perpetratiug in
staging that initial parade back in 49, they
deserve fun credit for all that the first Mon
Gay in September has come to mean. They
can even claim royalty on the sequel TO the
Labor Day legend.
Some one has suggested Capital Dayl
