wonderful background for all, with
the blare of brass band and the soft
music of the Hawaiian entertainers,
the decorations and the laughter of

PAID TRIBUTE TO WoLlNlST
Nashville Woman's Graceful Act Met
With Equal Courtiiness From
Famous Ole Bull

Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian VIC
linist, on visit to Nashville, Tenn.
sometime In the forties, was invited to
play In rude hall, where but rude
ly constructed platform had been
erected, and the rough boards had not
even been carpeted.
A lady who was known as an accom-
plished musician and one of the most
elegant women In Nashville, noticed
this. In order to convey her admira-
ton for the artist and her regret for
the commonest Of the surroundings
she took off her large costly, black
velvet mantle and spread 1t out
smoothly on the rough floor near the
edge of the stage where he would be
expected to stand
A few moments later the great mas
ter appeared on the stage and the au-
dlence eagerly watched to see what he
would do He advanced bowing and
smiling and as he reached the hand
some mantle lying there he made an
other courtly bow.
Then he stepped to one side, drew
his bow across the strings Of the yio-
lin and began to play-Philadelphie

LUMBER PRICES
Remain High While Indus.
try's Labor Wage Drops

Austin, Texas.-A survey of the
Texas lumber industry by the state
bureau of labor statistics gives inter
esting sidelights on manufacturing
costs and retailers profits.
The average cost of lumber, eXclus-
i've of freight, at the 26 mills investi-
gated, was $26.01 per 1000 feet,
which cost the mills an average Of
S22.04 per 1000 feet to manufacture.
and included all overhead expenses
and cost of production.
Against this manufacturers profit
of $4 per 900 feet is the cost of lum-
Der to the retail lumber yards, and
the cost charged the ultimate consum-
er. 1t is shown that in lumber yards
in nine of the leading Texas cities the
average lumber cost was S34.37 per
900 feet, and was sold on an aver
age for $5055 per 1000 feet.
The widest spread is reported from
this city, where yards paid $34.43 for
lumber they sold for $56.08. All OF
these retail prices are for cash, a
higher rate being charged when the
purchaser is given credit.
The bureao reported that the aver
age daily wage has dropped from
S318 in 1927 to SPAS at the present
time. The present average maximum
is $3.50 per day, and the minimum IS
$1.85.
The average number of hours work
ed per day are TO-
Of the 81 mills investigated, 62
operate company stores and 81 rent
houses at an average rental Of $4.26
per month.
Fifty-four mills deducted an aver
age of S1.45 per month from married
employees and 81 from single men for
medical services, hospital and physi-
clan.

RESIST S-HOUR AWARD

Seattle. Mill and lumber owners at
Klamath Falls are now inducing"
business men to urge mill workers to
accept the nine-hour day. The state
board of Cancellation ruled that the
eight hour day should prevail, but the
bosses rejected the award and are at
tempting to develop public opinion
that will Justify their course.
The owners have assumed an air
of injured innocence and express re-
gret that politics had to play its part
in the boards proceedings

they display their wares. Then there
are dozens of these booths where
games of all kinds are kept going
for the amusement of the joy seekers,
There is big handsome, merry-go-
round and ferris wheel on the rear of
the big lot. A big band sits way up
high and discourses sweet and snappy
music that can be heard for blocks
around. Since the start of the big
exposition there is no longer need for
Hamilton people to make the long trip
to the Hawaiian Islands for a glimpse
of that country is to be obtained right
in the absement of the auditorium

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
ABUSING HOSPITALITY

TT is the height of bad manners to
= try to drag business into your social
activities. But some young men real
lie this only after they find that they
have queered themselves with friends
and acquaintances by not having
learned this in time.
This does not mean that a mans
friends and his social position may not
and do not very often stand him In
good stead when it comes to building
up business or profession. The young
lawyer for instance, may so impress
his friends and their friends whom he
meets at their houses with his honesty
and shrewdness that when they hap
pen TO need the services of a lawyer
they naturally turn to him. Or more
often they become personally fond OF
him and turn any professional bust
ness his way that they can, simply
through desire to see him succeed.
So often a doctor builds up a practice
through the influence Of friends and
acquaintances.
But 1t would be quite another mat
ter for a young lawyer when at the
house of a friend in any way to at
tempt to gain the patronage Of any
other of the guests.
One young man | know, who is hav-
ing an uphill time gaining his pro-
fessional education, was persuaded by
the promoters of stock-selling enter
prise that he could sell enough stock
in the evening among his friends to
pay all his educational expenses. Con-
vinced of the merits of the various
sorts of stock that this enterprise Is
promoting, this young man never
misses a chance when he IS invited to
the house of friend to sell stock
either to his host or to one of the other
guests. He even tried to persuade
young woman with whom he had just
been dancing that 1t would be to her
advantage to invest some of her saw
ings in one of these ventures in which
he was interested
Needless to say this young man is
not asked to so many houses as he
used to be and If he does not mend
his manners he will find himself really
taboo in the little circles where he
once enjoyed an enviable popularity.

PROBING COAL MINING

Seattle.--Church men are about to
bare conditions in the coal industry,
said Dr. Samuel Z. Batten to an
audience of wage earners in one of
the local churches The speaker is
member of the special commission
on social service and industrial rela-
tions of the federal churche of
Christ He said the probe will show
that coal miners have earned on an
average but 81 ,O45 yearly for the past
five years.
Despite these low wages coal has
increased in price $5 ton and more
and the public has been told by the
coal owners, said Dr. Batten, that
higher wages for the miners has
caused the increase.

UNIONISTS SUE CITY

Toledo, Ohio.-The central labor
union of this city has started suit
against Mayor Brough and other of
ficials to compel them to pay city
laborers the wage scale set by the

been repealed, but this does not affect
the mayor, who was elected by the
'law-and- order" element on an econ
omy" platform.
Th unionists are demanding that
the mayor set an example for law and
order, and if he thinks wages are too
high, let him ask council to make

PLANS LAID FOR
DISPOSITION Of
MARINE BILL BY
HOUSE MEMBERS
Fight Over the AdminiStra-
ton Measure to SubSi-
die American Merchant
Ships to Begin Today
VOTE 200 TO ITO TO
GIVE 1T PREFERENCE
Democrats Agree at a Cau-
Gus to Stand SoIidIy
Against the PROPOSAL
0'Connor OiSSentS

Washington, Nov. 22.--The road
was swiftly cleared today for an
early end of the house fight over
the administration shipping BILL
which will begin tomorrow.
A special resolution giving the
bill right Of way was put through
the house by a vote of 200 to 10.
It followed party lines. although
three democrats supported and 1G
republicans opposed it. Generally
speaking, leaders said, it did not in
dicate the line UP when the house
votes on final passage November
20.
Immediately after the action Of
the house, democrats agreed at a
party caucus to stand up solidly
against the measure, enactment of
which was urged yesterday by
President Harding in an address to
a Joint session OF congress. One
democrat at the caucus-O'Connor
of Louisiana-served notice that
he would not be bound by the de-
cision, at the same time announc-
ing he was in favor of the bill.
Soldier Bonus Issue
The soldier bonus issue was in
iected into the debate by Repre-
sentative Johnson, republican, of
South Dakota, who announced that
he would vote to permit the house
to consider the bill, but would not
vote FOR its passage. Mr.. johnson
declared no party could survive
that refused to give bonus to
soldiers and then give bonus to
ships.
Sharply contrasting views were
presented by Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming, the republican
leader, and Representative Garrett,
Tennessee, the democratic leader
Mr.. Mondell asserted that the re-
publican administration had not
been able in eighteen months to
cure the evils left by democratic
administration, particularly with
reference to the shipping problem
Jt was q question, he said OF q con-
structive, or q destructive policy
Turning TO members on the repub-
lican side, MIR. Mondell said they
could not escape the responsibility
OF meeting the issue III this con-
gress.
Running True TO Form
Mr.. Garrett declared that in at.
tempting to force the bill through
the republican administration
with the death rattle in its throat
was running true to form in IA
voring the special interests" II
was surprising. he said, that the
drive for the bill should be made
Immediately after the administra-
tion had been 'repudiated and dis
credited" at the polls.
Pleading for action, Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee
challenged opponents of the bill tc
bring forward something better.
Taking stock tonight after the
first skirmish, republican leaders
asserted the bill would pass the
house with at least % votes to
spare, but they declined TO specu-
late on its chance in the senate.
The view was expressed by 9th
ers that if defeated, it would &c
down at the hands of the repub-
licans and that the question OF
final enactment by the house de-
pended upon the fate of raft OF
amendments, to be offered.

50-DAY FAST IS
CAUSE Of DEATH
Of MRS.COCHRAN
Nevada Woman Wastes
Away Until She Weighs
Only 60 Pounds; Wanted
to Live But Refused Food

Reno New, Nov. 22.-Heroic ef-
forts to save the life of Mrs. Pearl
A. Cochran, who died yesterday as
a result of a j0-day self-imposed
fast, were made by her physician
at the state and county hospital
,and at private institutions, it was
revealed today, but only once in the
fifty days was she persuaded TO
take a spoonful of broth and that
was last Sunday, but she elected 1t
from her mouth at once.
From October ., when her fast
began. she wasted away until her
weight at death was only sixty
pounds. Last Saturday the Red
Cross took her to a private hos
pital and It was there she died.
Mrs. Cochran first came into
publicity year ago when she per-
suaded her attorney to swear to a
complaint that SHE was insane. Al
that time the physicians who eX-
amined her said she was only suf-
fering from lack of wholesome
food. She told them then she
wanted to live for the sake of her
children but that she believed food
OF any kind would simply hasten
her death. Last July her husband
charged her with insanity. but she
was again declared to be sane.
During her fast the nurse who
twas with her part of the time says
Mrs. Cochran would frequently cry
out that she wanted TO live, but she
steadfastly refused all food.
