LAUNDRY WORKERS
HAVE GOOD TIME

The Laundry Workers pulled an
other one of their enjoyable affairs.
Yes, it was another spread for the
membership and friends. And some
spread 1t was-sandwiches, cakes,
doughnuts and other good eats too
numerous to mention, enough being
left over that visitors at the hall next
day could grab a hasty lunch Only
one thing on the program was forgot
ten in the hasty departure later in
the evening, and that was washing
the dishes. No doubt this did not
worry the Laundry Workers very
much, but caused a certain member
of the labor movement great deal of
grief next day. We were asked not
to mention his name, as the Culinary
Workers have jurisdiction OF this
work and the party who did the
dishes" does not carry a card with
that craft.
Officers were nominated at this
meeting and the general election will
take place at the next meeting, Feb
ruary l. The entire membership is
asked to be present and cast the
votes that will elect officers for the
ensuing term. AS is sometimes the
case, certain members express their
dissatisfaction with the officers
elected and it is usually by the men,
bership that does not vote at election
time. 1t is the duty of everyone to
vote that the most canabla offiears
may be chosen.

ing only one hand available to lace
up his boots. He looked out OF the
window. He heard bees, birds, chick

Of grass. Then he saw, close to the
wall, a tub fult of water, and bench
upon which lay basin, soap, towel,
cofnb and brush. The window was
also q door, for under 1t there was

Gale hesitated moment, then
went out. He stepped naturally, hop
ing and expecting that the cowboys
would hear him. But nobody came.
Awkwardly, with left hand, he washed
his face. Upon nail In the wall
hung a little mirror, by the aid Of
which Dick combed and brushed his
hair. He imagined he looked most
haggard wretch. With that he faced
forward, meaning to 60 round the cor
ner Of the house to greet the cowboys
and these new-found friends.
Dick had taken but one step when
he was halted by laughter and the
pstter Of light feet. He saw little
foot sweep into view, white dress,
then the swiftly moving form Of a
girl. She was looking backward.
"Dad, I shall fall in love with your
new ranger. / will have"
Then she pumped squarely into
Dicks arms.
Dick saw q fair face and dark
blue, audaciously flashing eyes. Swift
as lightning their expression changed
to surprise, fear, wonder. For an In
slant they were level with Dicks
grave questioning. Suddenly, sweet
", she blushed.
"Oh-hi" she faltered.
Then the blush turned to scarlet
fre. She whirled past him, and like
q white gleam was gone.
Dick became conscious Of the quick

rienced singular exhilaration That

he had been ripe, the event upon

WE NEED CONSERVATION

There are few things more import
ant for the proper development of
Alabama than conservation. One of
the most serious obstacles to the en-
richment of the American people gen
orally is waste. While this is the
wealthiest country on earth, l. is worth
while to stop and consider how much
waste goes on every day in the year.
1t has been said that America wastes
enough for the average nation to live
on. That is probably true. Even a
casual observer notes the almost Grim
inal waste that marks American life
wherever he goes.
Shortly before the World war for
eign dignitary was sent to this country
to study industrial methods and prac-
tees for his government. Several Bir-
mingham captains of industry took
him around. When the inspection was
completed one asked wha; impressed
him more than anything else. He re-
piled promptly: "Your frightful
waste; l did not dream it could be
carried to such an inexcusable ex-

IRENE. In my country nine-tenths of
what you are throwing away would be
turned into profitable by-products.
None but an exceedingly wealthy coun-
try like yours could survive such
waste"
Here in Alabama one of our great
est wastes is neglect of conservation
opportunities. This includes our for
estry, our fish and game, large assets
in themselves, and many other fields
that could and would supply large adj
ditional prosperity and happiness. We
have been wasting our substance" at
the source. The people of this state
have begun to realize the folly of this
practice and are waking up to the ne
cessity of a change before it is too
late to benefit therefrom. Conserva-
ton in its broad practical application
offers as great an opportunity in Ala
bama as the development of resources.
The supply of our replaceable mate
rails cannot be gradually destroyed
without day of reckoning, and that
day is not so far ahead unless there
be serious purpose and effective
moves toward protecting the almost
countless blessings which nature has
given this state

PURGE THE VETERANS BUREAU

1t is reported that preliminary
survey of the veterans bureau sug-
gests criminal Encouragement as we'll
as inefficiency. Commander Owsley
of the American Legion declares that
politics must be stamped out of the
bureau and that the Legion will con-
tinue to fight until that purpose is ac-
complished as nearly as is humanity
possible. All success to the Legion
efforts!
1t is nevertheless unfortunate and
not at all to our national credit that
the Legion has to fight continually for
what belongs rightfully to the vete-
rams. The people would be gratified
to see arise aNchampion of the public
responsibility towards the ex-service
men, a champion who is not of the
Legion or of the veterans, but of the
great mass of Americans who did not
go to war and who owe to the Legion
naires and the veterans that great
debt beyond any possibility of future
liquidation.
The veterans bureau is devised pri-
marily as the agency through which
IHlS government STdu exercise 1tS care
over those who we're disabled in their
country's service. This is the most
solemn obligation now resting on the
nation. If through Encouragement or
deliberate mishandling of funds this
obligation has not been fully met,
then there is demand for the most
rigid scrutiny of the conduct of the
bureau and the most condign punish
ment of any connected Herewith who
have thus betrayed the honor of the
nation and caused this country to de-
fault in part in its discharge of this
duty to the disabled
But even that will not be enough.
There must also be assurance that
the disabled veterans will henceforth
and forthwith receive the care and at
tention to which they are entitled and
which the American people earnestly
desire they shall have. There has
been enough uncertainty, temporizing
and neglect in this vital matter.

year after year taking note of and
recording the tragic and discommod-
ing events that occur on Fridays, es-
pecially when that much-maligned day
couples itself with the figure "13."
Many newspapers publish catalogues
of the mishaps of that recurrent cal
endar combination. The self-same
events take place on every other day
of the month and week, and the mis-
fortunes of men playing no favorites,
make no exceptions of Sundays. Prob
ably fewer uncanny things occur on
Sunday because that is day of leis-
ure where the time is spent quietly
at home or going to and from church;
yet cyclones have come on Sunday, the
fourth or fifteenth day of the month,

ONE TRICK A DAY

When the secret of this trick is
known it sounds too simple and
obvious to appear mysterious. but,
nevertheless. to the unacquainte1
it is exceedingly puzzling. How
ever. you are cautioned in ad-
vance not to perform 1t more
often than once before the same
audience.
Separate a pack of cards into
two parts, all the red cards in one
pile and all the black ones in the
other. Place one on top of the
other. and spread the whole out
fanwise. Allow someone to select
card, to look at it, and return
1t to the pack. The only thing
necessary to notice is from which
half of the pack he picks the card,
and make sure that he replaces 1t
in the opposite end OF the pack.
If this is done, 1t is easily under
stood that the card chosen will be
either a black one among all reds,
or a red one among all blacks.
I lay particular stress on the
admonition not to repeat this
trick before the same crowd;
because there is always danger of
someone wanting to examine the
pack.
