JAP LABOR OUTLOOK IS
THURSDAY ISLE MENACE

SYDNEY. N. w. s.. May 21.-The
uation at Thursday Island. off the
northern coast Of Queensland where
serious Japanese labor troubles oc-
CURED recently. is said to be delicate
from an international point of view,
according to tho latest reports receiv-
cd here.
One authority has described the po-
sltion as "a powder magazine covered
with brown paper" although there
has been no violence on the part Of
the japanese greater than Australia
has been accustomed to in other por-
tons of the commonwealth.
The situation is declared to be the
climax Of difficulties that have exist
ed since 1916 when the Queensland
government vas forced. through rep
reservations made to the federal gov
ernment at the instance of Japan. TO
withdraw the permit for Japanese in
the sugar fields.
In 1920 the Japanese indentured
workers resented the employment of
Papuans and Australian natives to
such a degree that the laborers Of
those races were withdrawn almost
entirely from the industry.
The garrison at Thursday Island is
so small that it would be useless in
the event OF any widespread trouble.

BETTER HOMES FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES ENCOURAGED
SECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS VOICES STRONG PLEA

WASHINGTON, May 81. - There
are two sides to n ten dollar bill. One
side is the effort hat goes to earn It;
the other is the care and intelligence
which go to the spending Of it. One
side Is the mans contribution. the
other side is the woman's. The whole
question of wages is affected by the
home-maker's ability to get value for
her money.
In such manner Secretary OF Labor
Davis sets forth the Significance of
the Better Homes in America cam
paigI. to be conducted during the
week of June 4 to 10. Secretary
Davis IS a member OF the National
Council for Better Homes in Amer
lea. Other members are Vice-Presi-
lent Coolidge. Secretaries Hoover and
Wallace and Mrs. T. G.. Winter. presl-
lent of the General Federation OF
women's Clubs.
THE campaign is a woman's cam
paign,' says Secretary Davis. "They
are taking stock of themselves TO see
how they fill their side OF tho bill;
they are taking inventory of home
values to determine on standards.
The best American wage earners
know that the pay check at the end
OF the week belongs TO the family
They know also that a f~orty-nve dol
lar a week wage does not do as well
in some families as n thirty-five dol
lar a week wage does in others.
The demonstration houses pre-
pared for Better Homes week in June
are concrete educational means OF
emphasizing the Importance Of home
making and the increasing necessity
OF thorough study Of its technic. II
the homes is the nation, in the homes
is the basis OF h best patriotism.
There is nothing better we ri dc
than make n thorough workmanlike
study OF the things hat make for q
better home. with architects. bnlders
Interior decorators, students. musi
clans, educators and spiritual ad
visors joining in a definition Of
home"
The Better Homes campaign began
last year in n comparatively small
way. The result of the first effort is
shown in the preparations this year
OF many communities to have demon.
stration homes during the campaign

~ humorous sketch OF n soldiers life

Without any plot. but with suffi-
oient wit and character portrayal to

terested in h movement. Many Of
these have been started by chambers
of commerce, others by groups OF

Besides fitting out the demonstra-
ton homes for public view. the move
ment includes arrangement OF lee

grams, essay and poster contests In

tention to the home. Many thousands
OF dollars in prizes will be given local
ly and nationally in connection with

quarters OF the General Federation Of

struction Of n replica of the Long
