 Washington. August 12.-The Sec rotary of Labor. Jimmy" Davis. hasn't any enemies, but he has writ ten book. It has been distributed in Washington the past week and nas been much discussed in official and literary circles.
 Another Hoosier author" they have said, for, although he was born in Wales and although he is accrei- ited as coming severally from Pitts burg. Pa, and Mooseheart, III, Sec retary Davis likes to claim his long residence in Indiana where he got his first taste of public life by be- Ing elected recorder of Madison county back in 1902.
 Jimmy" Davis is an unintentional author. He wrote his book, like the successful merchant, as series of letters to his son./ His son Is only four years old at the present mo- ment. but the Secretary felt that when he grew up he should know how his father fought his way up in life from the very pits of the iron mills. The book is called "The Iron Fuddler" and the announcement of 1t says that it tells the life story of James J. Davis, written that his

MOSLEM WOMEN REFUSE ID WORK,
 PREMIER bAFFLED
Rule That Able Bodied Men and Women Must Work Ten Days a Year Causes
 Trouble
By Associated Press

Sofia, Bulgaria, August 12.-When Premier Stamboulisky conceived the idea that 1t would be good thing to compel every able-bodied man and woman in Bulgaria to work 10 days a year for the state. he probably ex- pected the trouble which has ensued, for he Is described as a far-sighted statesman with an active imagina- ton. In any event he has entered the lists to defend the weak spots In his innovation, and his principal oppo- nents are the young women of the land.
 Tn the first place, the young mos lem women of Bulgaria have refused point blank to do & thing. They cite the position given them in their homes by their religion. and refer the authorities to various groups of fathers and brothers armed with knives, pistols and rifles, who are violently opposed to their female rela- lives donating their labor to the state. The premier has proposed they be deprived of their vote, and has threatened arrest. The women still resist passively. Now Stam- boulisky says they will work for the government, or he will know the req son why.
 Test Is Coming
 OcPtcHOcI WILT JIG Acf then the 1922 class of women will be called to labor without pay in public buildings, gardens, etc. And the women other than those of the mos lem faith say they will work when the moslem women do. in the mean time offering announcement and support to their belligerent sisters.
 There also have been called to the public gardens. as it were. profess sional men from the cities, men un5 used to hard labor whose soft hands shirts. In the beginning they went through the motions of work. but did virtually nothing. Why labor when one could soldier? Then the gang bosses gave piece work: each man could quit when his stunt was done. As a result two hours often sufficed for what previously had not been completed In ten. But little by little the bosses increased the allot- ments. and now the inevitable reac- tion has set in. The bourgeoisie are daily complaining of sore backs: blistered hands; bad eyesight: sum stroke; hunger; thirst and other ham, dicaps.
 "These rotten bourgeois don't love their country. are lazy and in- capable" declared Stamboulisky. ex- asperated at not being able to force work out of the men mobilized.
 The law has given rise to many amusing situations. It is pointed out that Stambou1isky himself has not done any work As cabinet min ister, he is exempt. Likewise all peasant field laporers, farmers and city workmen are exempt and as the population of Bulgaria Is largely ag- ricultural the law applies mostly to professional men. such as lawyers, dentists, doctors and shopkeepers.
 The newspapermen turned out as a body and did their work cheerfully;

 At the Secretary's request, 1t Is stated "a distinguished literary mGn read the manuscript and was so inn pressed by it that he urged its im- mediate publication. Moved. but not convinced, Mir. Davis took other friends into his confidence. All were of like opinion-hence the book"
 To a party of friends at dinner on Thursday night Secretary Davis conflded that the distinguished liter ary man" referred to was none other that Booth Harrington. Having been introduced to tho world of authors under the patronage of so splendid a writer, the Secretary felt there must be some merit in his work, and he already has been favored with the warm praise of his friends.
 In the language of the day. MT Davis is known as a "go-getter." He joined the Loyal Order of Moose in 1906 and a year later was director general of the organization, a posi- tion he holds to this day.
 As to the origin of his name, MT. Davis tells that in Wales David and Davies are favorite names, probably because David whipped Goliath. and mothers named their babies after the champion. It is fitting in this con nection that in the very first chap
