CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF A MAN

A man weighing $50 pounds approx
mately contains $500 cubic feet of gas,
oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen in his con-
stitution, which at 80 cents per thousand
cubic feet would be worth $3.50 for illumi-
mating purposes. He also contains all the
necessary fats to make IS pound candle,
and thus with his $500 cubic feet of
gases he possesses great Illuminating pos
sibilities.
His system contains % pounds and 10
ounces of carbon, or enough to make 7SO
dozen or 1850 lead pencils. There are
about so grains of iron in his blood, and
the rest of the body supply enough to make
one spike large enough to hold his weight
A healthy man contains 81 ounces of
phosphorus. This deadly poison would
make 100000 matches, or enough poison to
kill 500 persons. This, with 80 pounds of
lime, makes the stiff bones and brains.
No difference how sour man looks, he
contains about so Jumps of sugar of the
ordinary cubical dimensions, and to make
the seasoning complete must be added 20
spoonfuls of salt.
If man were distilled into water he
would make about SO quarts or more than
half his weight. He also contains a great
deal of starch, chloride of potash,
magnesium, sulphur and hydrochloric acid
in his system.-Seiected.

GREATEST
ACCOMPLISHMENT
SHORTER WORKDAY

The establishment of the eight
hour work day through organized eff
fort has been one of the most impor-
tant steps made in human progress
and development.
The eight-hour work day has open
ed up opportunities for the workers
denied them under the old system of
ten and twelve hours.
The difference between the longer
and the shorter work day has been
used by the workers for their gener-
al improvement, for rest, recreation
and education, and for the promotion
of the things that go to make up
better, happier and more commended
life for all.
Among its many activities no move
ment of organized labor stands out
more prominently than does the fight
for the shorter work day, with the
possible exception of the fight for the
right to organize.
There is no phase of our national
life where progress has been made
that does not reflect in that progress
improvements which come as a result
of the eight-hour day, directly or in
directly.
The desire of the workers to have
shorter work day is not because they
want to evade their responsibilities
to give full service.
Labor has learned that the short
er work day has given more time to
think, and while recognizing that it
is an obligation that all must work,
there must also be time for rest, rec
reation, education and development,
and even though all must work in
order to live, human life must be pro-
tected and prolonged to the fullest
period through the shorter work day
and that which comes from it, as
against the old system of selfish
greed and exploitation which gives no
opportunities or hope for the future.
Fundamentally Sound.
The shorter work day has proven
to all fairminded men by the most
severe tests that it is fundamentally
sound, and where it has been in oper-
alton for many years the eight-hour
day and the 44-hour week have
brought most satisfactory results.
Only those who are not In sympa-
thy with ORGANIZED labor's aims and
purposes, those who are selfish and
are not interested in human progress,
oppose the establishment of the
eight-hour day, but this opposition
win not stop the onward trend of this
movement for economic and social
betterment.
The shorter work day means prog
ress and the world is progressing.
Organized labor is keeping step.

to them. They also afford the en-
ployers the freedom Of discharging
persons who. are superfluous or In
efficient.
Closed shop.
The word closed" we are told,
means brought together 50 as to
leave no opening" Another defini-
ton is strictly watched That is
what CLOSED shops" are. All the en-
ployes are brought together in an
organization and they are strictly
watched" They have not the freedom
of movement or thought that persons
have in open shops"
Now for the conclusion: Since the
unions refer to shops in which their
restrictive rules are in operation as
CLOSED shops" the shops in which
those rules are not in operation may
properly be termed Enclosed" shops.
In other words, they are open shops"
II the closed shops are called union"
shops. then the open shops may prop
erly be called "non-union" shops. How
ever If the employer Of non-union
help, wants to call his shop an open
shop, to indicate that he is free from
the dictation of labor unions, who
among you photographers will say in
your dictionaries that he has not the
right to use that word. You tell us
that usage governs the meaning of
words. Hence, you makers -diction-
aries, as faithful scribes, will merely
record that the open shop is one in
which both employees and employers
are free to think and do-what the
of the United States per-
mits them: to enjoy life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. without re-
strictions by labor unions.

An open shop" Is the opposite to a
CLOSED shop. A closed shop Is un-

employed in an open shop without

An "open" shop Is one in which

make laws restricting the extent to

1t Doesn't Go

When Lloyd George was interviewed by
reporters on his landing in this country some
body asked him about the League of Nations,
and the ex-Prime Minister remarked that THE
League of Nations can never be a going con.
Germ without the cooperation of the United
States.
1t certainly does not seem to be going any
where in particular, and it looks as If all the
rulers of Europe were taking good care that it
should not go. But where, if anywhere, would
it go if it did have the cooperation of the United
States?
Nobody tells, if anybody knows. There is
a reasonable suspicion that the scheme to or.
ganize a League of Nations with the United
States cooperating was not so much intended
to make Europe go where the United States
might say, as to make the United States go
where Europe might say.
At any rate, it seems logical. If a Euro
pean League can't run Europe without the
United States, it stands to reason that all it
could do would be to run the United States, if
we were in it.
