By Mrs. Gelders

"HE Indiana people have determ-
James Whitcomb Riley, an ap-
propriate memorial in the shape of a
hospital for the care and betterment
of children. All who have felt the
love and sympathy for little children
expressed in his lines and especially
remember that one of the Happy lit
tie cripples with curvature of the spine
will take an interest in the Riley Me-
moral Children's Hospital at Indianap-
oils for which the ground is being pre-
pared for its immediate erection.
Visible to shipping at all parts of
Hampton Roads and the lower Ches-
apeake within a radius of 20 miles is
the tower of the navy's new aerial
lighthouse, the first of this type. Verti-
cally the light can be seen for e miles
which is high enough. The light is
of acetylene gas, 1000 candle power
is IS feet above low tide and flashes
at regular intervals like traffic signals
and is automatic in its operation
lighting itself at sun down and extin-
gushing itself at daylight. Should this
light house prove the boon it is ex-
pected to be to aerial navigation, 9th
ers will be erected at all important air
stations in the country, and by having
different intervals in the flashing of
each different beacon, aviators would
learn these like code and be able
to locate their course by them.

Samuel Gomper's
Labor Day Message
Time To Present United Workers
Front to Powers that Prey

WASHINGTON, Sc. 3rd. - Only
by organization and more organization
can the workers of America secure a
full measure of economic justice. Pres
ident Samuel Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor declared to-
night in Laber-Day message address,
ed TO the American people.
A four-year "anti-labor war" Mr..
Gompers said, had demonstrated the
power of the trade union to protect its
members against organized employers,
before wEam unorganized labor had
found itself weakened, scattered and
helDless.' He added that the time had
come for laborirg men ard women
az last to present c unitci workers
front to the powers that prey
The message in part follows:
Every contest with the owners
and manipulaters of industry accen-
tuates the truth hat the workers ha re
but few outside their own ranks who
synlpathize with hem in their deter
mlninatlon to elranr;patc mankind or
support them in their efforts.
The uncounted victories that Or
gained labor wins, the few temper
airy setbacks that labor experiences,
cry aloud the divine truth that JUS
tice for those who toll can only come
through the workers own efforts, their
own organization, their own persist
ency.
Now is the time for the workers
to rally more completely under the
standard of the unions"

so much is at stake that if parents

would not only give more time and

would make it their chief concern ev-
