THE LIBERTY BELL

This bell, the most treasured relic in
the nation, was cast by London bell
founder, brought to America in 1852 and
hung in the dome of the old state house
in Philadelphia. 1t weighs about 1000

BALD HEADS AND HEADGEAR

Why is it that we see so many bald
headed men and so few bald-headed
women? The hair of women usually be-
comes thinner and shorter with age, but
l do not recall ever having seen one alb
solutely bald. The reasons are many and
complex.
In the first place, women cultivate their
hair; they are proud of it; the men ad-
mire it; they often use hair tonics; they
rarely cut it off or discourage it; they
spend much time over it. How pretty

attractive to men. In short, we have BIZ

THE ARLINGTON NATIONAL
CEMETERY

Fitting, indeed, it is, that the national
cemetery should occupy position atop
the Virginia hills which line the placid
Potomac opposite the capital of the nation.
The grounds comprise about 1,10O acres
and once were the property of the grand
son of Martha Washington, whose only
child married the conspicuous military
leader, General Robert E. Lee, through
whom it passed into the possession of the
United States, in 1854.
So peaceful and beautiful is this spot
that one half suspects nature just lovingly
shaped it for the very purpose for which
it is being used. The portion now used
for burial purposes is inclosed within
wall of red sandstone. 1t is divided into
sections, with tastefully-arranged ave-
nues, drives and walks.
In this consecrated spot sleep the silent
hosts "who gave their lives that the coun-
try might e"-approximately $4,000 of
them at the present writing. Any hon.
orably-discharged soldier, sailor or marine
of the United States service is entitled to
burial here.
In one section rest the remains of the
sailors who were killed in the wreck of
the Maine in the harbor of Havana; in
another the remains of Gill nameless SOL

the Land Unto All the Inhabitants There

the Land Unto All the Inhabitants There
of" are inscribed upon it.
Before the British occupied Philadel-
phia it was taken down and hid in the
Delaware river, being removed later and
returned to its former position.
1t fulfilled the prophecy of its inscrip-
ton when, in 1875 it rang out the glad
tidings that the 13 states had ratified the
Declaration of Independence.
For fifty years or more it rang in the
celebration of every national anniversary.
On July 8, 1885, while tolling for the
funeral of Chief Justice Marshall, it
cracked again and has been mute ever
since.
So that all Americans might see this
venerable and hallowed relic, it has been
taken on many journeys. In 1884 it went
to New Orleans, in 1898 to Chicago, in
1895 to Atlanta, in 1902 to Charleston, in
1908 to Boston, in 1904 to St. Louis, in
1915 to San Francisco, and more recently
took part in Liberty loan parade in its
home town of Philadelphia.

ed in Report

Washington - Resolutions adopted
by the national conference on unem-
ployment suggesting steps for the
economic betterment of the country
were transmitted to President Harding
Wednesday by SecretsSy Hoover, chair
man of The conference. The confer
ence's conclusions after survey of
the nations business and employment
problems were expected to form q
guide for the administrations future
policy. AS several of the conferences
resolution suggest congressional action,
1t was thought these might be called
to the attention of congress by the
president.
Recommendation that Secretary
Hoover select representative commit
tee from the various elements interest
ed In construction, to coordinate COM
munity action for Improvement in the
building industry, was made In the re-
port of the committee on construction
industries.
The report declared the construc-
ton problem was one for local action
by governors and mayors In coopera-
ton with such a committee
Discussing the financing Of construc-
ton, the report held that long term
bank deposits and the savings accounts
should be used primarily for long term
loan purposes, and should not be In
termingled with speculative and COM
mercial business.
The report added that excessive f.
nanclng charges for building have not
been exceptional.
While the committee found that
there had been substantial reductions
In the costs of many construction ma
terials, lower prices for some mater
lals had not yet been brought about in
keeping with the trend of wholesale
prices, and In many instances retailers
had not yet followed the reduction of
manufacturers and wholesalers. The
report says this is subject to be TAX
en- up locally In each community.
On the subject Of wages, the COM
mittee said:
"The cost of living, rentals and work.
Ing conditions differ in various COM
munities. Where fair wage reductions
have not been made. construction is
held up. Such conditions should be
dealt with fairly and frankly between
employer and workmen and reasonable
readjustments promptly made"

Chicago-Rail workers hurled an nj.
timatum at their employers Friday by
deciding to strike October 80 unless
negotiations on wages and working con-
ditions were reopened.
Railroad executives, who met here
Friday, defied the most powerful la.
Dor unions In the nation by proceed.
Ing with their plans to slash wages In
the face of strike.
The decision to strike was reached
by heads Of the railroad brotherhoods
following days of conferences.
According to the plans mapped out
by the union heads, men on all lines
VIII not be called out at once. The
nations transportation system has
been divided into ten groups for strike
purposes.
Workers on the roads comprising
one group will be called out first. Then,
IL the management refuses to confer
with the men with a view to lettering
wages and working conditions workers
In the next group will be called out,
and so on down the line until every
one OF the two million union workers
have deserted their posts and tied up
the nations transportation system.
These are the railroad union chiefs
who called the strike and mapped out
the plan:
w. S. Stone, Brotherhood Of Loco.
motive Engineers.
/ l.. e. Sheppard, Order OF Railway
Conductors.
w. s. Carter, Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers.
L. @. Cashen, Switchmens Union OF

Railway Trainmen did not sit in on
the sessions.
The big brotherhoods have the back.
ing of members of the Federated Shop
Crafts who are affiliated with the rail.
way department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The shopmen of whom Bert M. Jew.
ell Is president, were the first to vote
overwhelmingly in favor of strike,
but held up their decision pending ac.
ton of the brotherhoods.
All union men will act together In
the crisis. 1t has been decided by their
leaders.
The strike vote was taken in pro.
test against the II per cent cut In
wages which took place on July !, on
orders of the United States railroad
labor board.
Since then, however. several mer
high In the councils of unionism have
stated that they would not use this
powerful club unless another attempt
was made to cut wages.
Things moved rapidly to a head fol
lowing the news that was given Out
by the unemployment conference In
Washington that leaders In the ad.
minlstratlon favor a reduction in wag
es so that freight rates may be slashed
in an effort to stimulate stagnant bus
mess conditions.
