SAME OLD ARGUMENT

The coal miners have informed Sec
rotary of Labor Davis that they can
not consider any wage reductions, and
that when their present contracts with
the operators expire next spring they
will probably ask for further increas-
es- They base their position on the
fact that because of the lack of
steady employment, the miners to-
day cannot make a living at the wage
rate they now receive" The fact is
probably true, but it does not follow
that miners wages are too low They
would find that another raise would
make it still more difficult to make
living, rather than easier. Their only
hope, if they but knew it, lies in
lowering of wages with consequent
stimulation of the coal market and a
higher return to them.

Beware of the poultry Inspectors
They are working their graft in some
of the counties on the east here. They
work their little game something like
this: They call upon a farmer and
state that they are state poultry in
spectors and ask to inspect their
chickens. Of course they find some
thing wrong and tell the farmer that
he needs some of this food o. KID by
the state After they extract about
$50 from that farmer, they leave him
with plenty of sawdust and bran to
last year. The sheriff's Office should
be notified if they call on you.-Se1den

of the railroads. Rail rates have been
raised to such a point that shippers
refuse to patronize the roads, and the
consequence is that revenues have
fallen off. There is point in the
scale of miners wages, as well as in
railroad rates, where further increas-
es mean loss of income. That fact

PLEASURE BEACH.

The crowds in the surf at Pleas ure Beach are an inspiring sight these torrid days and one meets peo- pie from all over this section of the country on the island shore The fame of Bridgeport's re-created water front has spread to the Long Island towns and parties from the North Shore are frequently at the beach, Picnic parties are coming from Hud- son river towns and other rather dis tant points. The island beach is un- doubtedIy the finest in all this section of the Sound. It has a wide SandS shore and a bottom as smooth as a billiard table. The Pleasure Beach management has provided splendid equipment of floats and diving plat forms and the hot afternoons there are a verHable water carnival.

An Organ, and a Man to Grind It.
 It's Most Impossible to Find It!

Corinne Griffith, vitagraph star, has always been a stickler in the mat ter of local color for her productions. She recently stated to her director, Webster Campbell, that she wanted an organ grinder of the o1d-fashioned variety, and a monkey, in one of the scenes of her current production. Moral Fibre"
 One fine morning Miss Griffith and MT. Campbell started out to locate such an organ grinder and after go- ing through the Italian section of New York were absolutely unable to locate one. They finally, however, succeeded in finding out that on 121st street in New York, between First and Second avenues, an organ grind CT lived. This was just about as vague a direction as could be given. But with courage unabated the star proceeded uptown On the street to which they were directed there were many apartment houses and some times as many as ten or twelve fam flies living in one apartment Miss Griffith and her director proceede d

PADS AND FASHIONS OF TODAY
By ELAINE HAMafERSTE
 Popular Screen Star.

IDURING the piaytime of the sum- 0 mer months when folks are con- stantly on the go, hurrying out of the l city for an interval of pleasure at the seashore, mountain or countryside, 1t naturally follows that the question of suitable apparel for wear during these 1 journeyings is. an important one, whether they be made by automobile, train or boat.
 The desire to appear fresh and dainty at her destination Is the desire of every woman, for she realizes tke importance of first impressions and en- deavors to SO dress herself as7to avoid any danger of becoming "mussy look ing" during the trip.
 Nothing could be more suitable for travelling, then, than the various as sentiments of soft sport materials in tweed, jersey and sport silks, which can withstand much rough usage with out showing any signs of wear and tear. The smoother fabrics, such as tricotine, serge and Poiret twill, arc apt to crease with many hours of sit ting in train or automobile or with damp sea air, while for the daintier frocks of organdie and voile, the re- suits are disastrous.
 i Besides, it is impossible to enjoy journey, no matter how pleasant the vehicle may be, if it is necessary to be constantly taking precautions against the many rnishaps which are liable to happen no matter how careful one is. Therefore, put on suit or frock which is indestructible and forget about it. The sketch shows a chic little gar ment admirably suited for such occa- sions. It is made of tal1y-ho sport silk of smoked pearl gray background with a checkered pattern achieved
