Chewing Gum Gave Him Away,

a family. In a recent divorce case
the wife. who was suing, testified that
she was sure that her husband was un-
faithful, but did not know for certain
to which one of several charmers ne
was paying attention.
One morning she found COB pr
gum that he had been chewing the
night before when he returned home
late. In the lump of gum was the
fatal red hair. She caused q watch
to be placed on the woman who had
locks to match the hair she found
and discovered that her husband was

apartment and got divorce In rec

He paid fifty cents for straw hats,

away their left overs in September.
Thus he amassed huge fortune,

GIVING CREDIT

Organized labor has done more
than any other agency to check the
doctrines of the Russian reds, Indus
trial Workers of the World and parlor
bolshevists in the United States, in
the opinion of Judge Alton B. Parker,
one-time democratic candidate for the
presidency, in an address before the
National Civic Federation in New
York recently.
The people of the United States
have not forgotten how the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, headed by
Samuel Gompers, stood four-square
during the world war against the
radical elements of labor-how labor
supported the government in its un-
stinted contributions TO military and
industrial efficiency during the try
ing times of the nation.
While it is true that neither an or
ganization nor an individual deserves
any particular credit for the perform
ance of duty, as that is expected of
all, the record of the bodies of or
ganized labor should not be overlook
ed when comparisons are made with
the service rendered by other organ
izations and individuals.
Search as you will over the world"
Judge Parker said, "and nowhere will
you find as here, labor standing four
