notice by the late press dis
patches that the American Fedora
ton of Labor is flirting with the IL
quor interests of the nation or rather
that the liquor interests are flirting
with that organization in an attempt
to get an endorsement for law to
allow beer and wine to be manufac-
tured and sold under the Volstead
prohibition act.
The American Federation of Labor
ought not to allow itself to be in
veigled into any such situation at the
behest of that element or any other
evil forces in cahoots with it.
1t is very doubtful if that organi-
zation composed of the bone and
sinew that gives energy and force and
movement to agriculture, manufac-
ture and the industrials of the nation
would as body if allowed to vote
individually on the proposition sane
ton it. The laboring men of the
better class are becoming wise to the
fact that booze and prosperity will
not mix, that it is useless and expen-
sive and breeder of trouble in the
home and community.

Evidence that the alley door had

SEND FLOWERS BY
RADIO TO EUROPE

II you want to send bouquet to
a friend in Europe. send it by radio.
That is the suggestion made by
a London firm of florists. 1t is
based on actual orders for flowers
by means of radio telegraphy.
When the radio telephone is per-
fected SO that transoceanic talk
will be possible, orders may be CIV
en- directly for the kind of flowers
wanted.
According to members of this
firm, 1900 agents deliver flowers
for them in the United States and
Canada. They. in turn, get similar
orders from these agents. Here
tofore they have been coming by
cable.
Now it has become another use
for radio.
