FIRST HONORABLE MENTION

Miss Alice Daly, 1OO6 south Twelfth
 street. Birmingham, Ala.
 WHY OWN YOUR OWN HOME While rents are going skyward, And lumber's coming down, There's bound to be a scramble To build in our great town. And lots are getting scarcer, For those who love view Are buying up the choicest; But there's one still left for you. And architects a plenty. With taste. and sense and skill To plan the home you've dreamed of.

work by the strikers shall not be in
terfered with. Men wanting to go to
work in the past twenty-four hours
have not been permitted to do so, and
! have called on the guards to take
charge of the situation by reason of
that fact.
1t was emphasized that the action
did not constitute martial law. Pack

CHICAGO. ILL.,, December THE
strike Of union packing house employees
in the larger centers outside of Chicago
took on more serious proportions today
as the third day Of the strike began.
Gbion leaders insist that t1e strike is
100 per cert effective, while the packers,
although admitting work is hampeerd in
some quarters. say that production has
been but slightly affected.
Four hundred national guardsmen pa
trolled the south st. Paul packing dis
trict today, having been ordered out
after AdJt. Gen. w. F. Rilinow said the
pickets at the Armour plant failed to
keep their promise to permit employees
to enter the plant.
Mayor Purton of Kansas City ordered
all pickets off the streets, saying they
would not only be arrested at the YARDS,
but anywhere on the streets. in accord
ance with the Kansas law forbidding
picketing.
Greater efforts were made by police

ARMS PARLEY TOPIC
URGEDFOR SCHOOLS
Movement to Have Pupils
Study History-Making Pro-
ceedings Indorsed.
VIEWS OF JOHN J. TIGERT
Federal Commissioner Counsels
Teachers to Take Up Subject
With Their Pupils.

The movement of progressive edu-
Gators. designed to promote intensive
study by Washington school children
of the epoch-making proceedings of
the conference on the limitation of
armament was indorsed today by
John j. Tigert, federal commissioner
OF education. Approval of the cam
paign already has been given by
District school authorities. who have
formally urged teachers to encourage
their pupils to devote much attention
to the study of cotemporary history
in it's making at the arms parley.
1T seems appropriate that study
of the progress and procedure of the
conference for the limitation of ar
mament should be emphasized in the
campaign of education week., said
Commissioner Tigert. This study
should be helpful not only in the
schools. but in clubs and other groups
which are formed for the discussion
of civic and national welfare.
No Time Like the Present.
THE daily press, current magazines
and periodicals are devoting much
space to the proceedings of the con-
terence and certainly no time will
ever be so ripe as the present to
