Silvered with the dust of decades Is
the polka.dot pattern In mems scarfs
Fashions may appear and disappear,
but the polka-dot is peerless and dis
appearless. AS regularly as sunrise
and the seasons, this design brightens
windows and wearers. 1t is one.and.
invisible with the fine art of dress
alike In America and England.
To the polka.dot is ascrlbed an odd
ancestry. Its name, of course, Is de.
rived from the polka, an old-fashioned
round dance with three steps to the
measure. This dance, introduced In
Europe by Bohemian, round about
1885, spread to the United States al
the time that Polk was candidate for
the presidency. The polka.dot was
bracketed with Folks name by pollti
cal admirers, and polka-thIs and polka.

CheCk-Off System
Stays, Says Lewis

New York-"Coal operators say
they are going to abolish the check
off system for the collection of union
dues from the miners in their en-
ploy, but they are not going to do any
thing of the kind, because the United
Mine Workers of America will not
permit them to abolish it," writes
John L. Lewis, president United Mine
Workers of America, in the New York
World.
"The check-off," says the unionist,
"means that a member of the union
authorizes his employer to deduct
from his pay the amount of his union
dues and assessments and to pay this
amount to the union.
"In other words, the employe
makes a legal and valid assignment
of small portion of his wages to the
union to dissolve his obligation. 1t is
the same as any other assignment of
wages to pay a doctor bill, grocery
bill, landlord or for any other pur-
pose.
"The United States circuit court of
appeals decided only recently in Chi
cago that the check-off is legal and
that it could not be abolished by in
junction. And the miners will fight
for the maintenance of the check-off
to the last ditch"
