There are many indications that the
pending tariff bill will not be passed
until after the November election II
ever. If the majority party shall then
find Itself still in strong control OF
both houses of congress it may decide
10 put the matter thru and take a
chance on the 1924 election. If on
the other hand it shall lose control OF
the house. something that occasionally
happens to a majority party in mid
presidential term, it will have ample
excuse for dropping the whole subject
of the tariff. Any tariff measure
passed would of course go to confer
ence and discussion might easily ex-
tend TO the fourth of next March.
With the two branches of congress d.
vided on partisan lines there can
never be general tariff legislation.
Regardless of which party wins in NO
vember, there is certain to be con-
siderable plumber of new faces in con-
gresa after March 4. 1928.

Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am a dark
haired, brown-eyed girl of seventeen,

My father objects to my keeping
company with him. have no mother.
Please give me information.
BROWN EYES.
Your father probably thinks you
are too young to be "hopelessly" in
love and therefore he objects to your
going with the young man. AS a mat
ter of fact you are too young to think
SO much about love.
At your age, however, I consider It
all right for girl to have occasional
callers.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have nice

For an eyebrow grower the follow

The ointment may be used for the

Worlds lfIKhesG Paid WSnaaA WRaAsR.

A Mutual Benefit Assoelation-2.
1t is the knowledge that a man tolls
with gladness for her sake, that he is
willing to make sacrifices and bear
hardships to keep her safe, that he
bares his breast to the storm to pro-
tect her, that his strong arm stands
between her and the world, for which
the woman is thankful, and not for
the few loaves and fishes, for any
able-bodied woman can earn them for
herself with less labor outside of the
home than in it.
In this question of gratitude be-
tween husband and wife is to be found
the root of a very large percentage
of domestic unhappiness. For the
thing that disillusions most mar
ried couples, the thing that gets on
their nerves and makes them dis
gruntled with each other, the thing
that makes them give up trying to
the use?" is the callous Indifference
with which each reg1rds the others
sacrifices and labors.
1t isn't too much to say that the
lack of appreciation is the root of all
domestic evil. 1t is the lack of even
a common THANK you" or, a per-
functory 1T was nice of you to re-
member" that takes the pep and thrill
out of family life. and makes men and
women start out on a still hunt for
I
best you can do for them is no more
than their due, and not worth mem
tioning.
1t is mighty hard to keep on giving
to people who take without gratitude
1t is mighty difficult to keep up your
interest in doing for people who never
show any appreciation of what you
do for them, and, on the other hand,
we are all willing to work our fingers
to the bone, and deprive ourselves of
our last cent for those who keep the
incense pot burning before us, and tell
US how great, and wonderful, and
generous we are, and what a provf-
dence we are to them.
There isn't man in the world who
doesn't love to give to the wife who
goes into ecstacies over his presents
he does for her, who never lets him
forget how grateful she is to him for
everything he does for her, and how
fine and noble, and strong he is
There isn't a woman living who
doesn't squeeze the last cent out of
a dollar for the husband who is al
ways thanking her for being such a
helpmeet to him, nor is there any
wife who doesn't willingly make a
burnt offering of herself Tor the hus-
band who eats his dinner while CAROL
ling a chorus of Thanksgiving to the
best cook in town.
In their souls, most husbands and
wives do appreciate each other, and
are grateful for all that the other does
for them. Why they should be so
mean and niggardly in expressing
they would rather die, or be divorced,
than say the words that would turn
matrimony from an endurance test to
a picnic.

A WAY TO END THE STRIKE

The railroad shopmen have agreed
to the proposal of President Harding
for q return to work at the reduction
in wages ordered by the railroad Ia
Dor board, and to submit in future
to the authority Of the board.
The only remaining issue between
the strikers and the railroads is that
of seniority rights. This was not in
should not it too be put up to the
labor board for adjudication? The
board doubtless is sufficiently familiar
with all the facts and principles in
volved. to render an immediate de-
cision.
If there has been any gain to any
body 1t is to the public thru re-es-
adjustment of the railroad labor
board. This board is the government
agency set up specifically to deal with
all labor disputes on the railways, and
thereby to prevent needless and waste
full strikes. 1t has been functioning
thru difficult times and many have
doubted that It would be able to main
tain itself. The present strike was a
severe test for it. But an essential
anu SlcDlGAlI III lAO PAO-
posed settlement is the agreement of
both sides, the railroad managers as
well as the unions of the employees, to
submit their controversies to the rail-
road labor board an9 to abide by its
decisions. This result will both re-
store confidence in this governmental
body and heighten respect for the
law under which congress created IT,
The situation at present is that the
strikers want to go back to the work
which they should never have left.
and are seeking to make as favorable
terms for themselves as possible. The
critical point is the matter of seniority
rights. Should the strikers suffer any
penalty at all for having quit work?
Should the employees who stayed in
the shops benefit by their fidelity?
Should the promises made TO the new
men who took the places of the strik-
ers be lived up to? These are diff
cult practical questions, but are sus-
ceptible of adjustment by facing the
facts and putting these questions up
to the railroad labor board.

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION.

The intervention of the government
in the rail and coal strikes. was pri-
marily intended to meet the present
emergency-to see that interstate
commerce is maintained and that in
dustries and the people are supplied
with fuel until such time as agree
ments have been made that will per-
init private interests to operate the
mines. But the activity of the gov
eminent is not to end when that has
been accomplished. President Hard
ing has indicated his determination to
appoint a coal commission whose
business. it will be to inquire into
every phase of the question, and sug-
gest improvements in the mining and
marketing of coal that will obviate
tieups in the future.
Probably there is no better way to
dispose of an unpleasant subject than
to turn it over to a committee of in
vestigation. 1t is course which shifts
responsibility and at the same time
postpones indefinitely any conclusive
action.
Under its present organization the
coal industry has a tendency to en-
nance prices and foster discomfort
among the workers. It is estimated
that there are between 100000 and
10000 more miners than are re-
CURED to produce the normal fuel
supply. They work on the average
three or four days a week. In the
slack summer months they are Idle
most of the time, but have to be kept
~. T. g. ~ hi
when the winter demand comes. The
public. of course, pays the price of
that inefficiency in the higher cost
OF fuel
These facts have become well
known to the public and to govern
ment agencies and do not require fur
Their investigation. 1t looks as tho
they should afford a sufficient basis
for congressional action If congress
can see its way to providing a rem
edy. If it cannot do this then further
investigation will be useless.
The chief difficulty in the way OF
peace in the coal industry is that the
miners union insists on the estab-
lishment of uniform rules and wages
for all bituminous mines IN the coun-
try.
1t is q mistake to treat all mines
alike N fixing wage scales. Varying
local conditions, such as the depth
and extent of coal veins, pumping
and ventilation, difficulties of trans
portation. etc, affect the cost of pro-
duction to such an extent that it is
impossible to determine a standard
upon which to base fair profits and
wage rates.
Numerous plans for equaiizing the
demand for labor in the mine fields.
thru storage OF coal during the slack
season, lower freight rates for coal
during that period, and otherwise.
have been suggested from time to
time. but all have failed OF adoption
for one reason or another.
It is improbable that committee
OF investigation would frame a pro-
gram any more acceptable than others
that already have been suggested.
What is most needed is a sure way
of preventing closing OF the mines.
1t is unlikely to be presented by the
proposd commission.

A FRIEND OR TWO.

once heard a friend of mine refer
to another friend as one having a
genius for friendship.
IIwould rather have that sort of
genius than any other on earth. For
after everything has been swept away,
in a material way, then the friend
comes up to cheer, to comfort, to in
spire, and to help you rebuild-per-
haps greater and better than before.
While a large number of friends are
very flattering, still one only needs
