Dinner Pail EpiCs
(By Federated Press)
(By Bill Lloyd

They still do celebrate the day
which winded up the four-year fray,
which put the kaiser on the blink and
let out floods of Woodrow's ink, which
sent the world we'll near to hell, as
falling marks and kronen tell, which
stabbed democracy in back and put
free speech into the sack.
Well, boys, who went to france to
fight, have you yet seen rayof light
to pay you for the blood you spilled,
while you left shons and fields un-
titled? The profiteers has got their
swag, but just OF what can vouse guys
brag? Some medals and a wooden
leg; a chance to peddle and to beg;
a legion button and the onus of ask
ing congress for a bonus; injunctions
and falling wage; YOUR picture some
times on the page with heroes who
has done their bit by getting gassed
or shelled or hit; some speeches made
by Clemenceau or Foch or other for
eign bo, who come to speak for your
delight-but not a glass of beer in
sight.
A lot of statesmen lost their jobs,
but you don't hear from them no sobs.
They got some money salted down so
they live swell in some big town. The
kaiser wed the other day and all the
great big dailies say that he got
spliced with lots of pomp and old
Doorn castle had a romp. The
profteers has got their pelf all salted
down for their own self.
It's the poor folks in every land for
whom prosperity is banned. They
hought some bonds and did their bit
and sacrificed their sons that's fit
They opened ~urses, shut their faces,
and helped to slaughter other races.
And yet we're asked to celebrate
the day that wound up such a fate
If thoughts like these don't make YOU
gay-well, learn to celebrate Labor
Day.

little or No Profit"
Says Judge Gary
(By Federated Press)

Washington-"We are at this time
making little or no profit" Judge FL
bert H. gary, head of the Steel trust,
told the federal trade commission here
last week. Gary made no mention of
the $500,000,000 surplus accumulated
by the Steel trust during and after
the war, and which is to be distributed
as a stock dividend, accordin~ to re-
liable reports.
From 80 per cent to 90 per cent of
our cost of production is in labor, y
Gary added. "With the present high
cost of livin" our wage rate it not too
high and it is out of the question for
us to reduce this part of our produc-
ton cost"

MRS. MCCORMICK ASSERTS
John o. RoekefeIIeTs Daughter Re.
cards Man as Positive Agency

Chicago, Jan. 20, - Woman has as
rood a chance to succeed in life as IL
man. but she must do It in her own
field, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick, former wife of Harold F. Nc
Cormick and joint sponsor of the Chi
cago Opera Company said yesterday in
an addresse before n club here.
"The work of the world is accom-
pllshed by two forces, the positive and
the negative" Mrs. Mccormick said.
"NIan is the positive force; woman is
the negative. If she would win in the
battle Of life, she must play the game
in her own way.
Women In many ways are Consti :
tutpd differently from men. If they arc
TO find happiness, II they are to have
poise and serenity of soul, they must
know themselves. They must know
their limitations and realize their handi =
caps.
Women represent the rails Of n
railroad-the negative forCc--and mar
the engine, or the positive force. 1t is
her ability to bear, as the rails bear
the engine, that makes her the counter
part of the male.
Woman is made to bear, to sustain
man TO be aggressive, self -assertive.
He ia the adventurcr. 1t Is by being
negative that woman becomes a power.
To be passive is woman's great forte. "
