crease from $100 to S150 for the Con- necticut Home Missionary Union are on the list of their activities. Does any department of our church life show greater activity or finer results or have better time over 1t than the Young Woman's Home Missionary so- ciety?
 "The social committee, Mrs. c. ". Upson, chairman. gave us delicious old fashioned church supper in March, and prepared a luncheon for business men and women in October, turning in s57.41 to the treasury of the society.
 "The entertainment committee. Mrs. H. J. Cook, chairman, held a success full food sale during the busy Thanks giving week and realized $9o.
 "The furnishing committee. under 1 the leadership of Mrs H. M. Bates, reports that in, addition to the usual funds expended for church and par sonage, it spent a. considerable sum in redecorating the parsonage. The splendid new gas stove placed in the church kitchen by the committee is A constant source of comfort and effi- ciency The Christmas, Easter and Children's Day decorations for the church have been attended to. The committee suggests that members of the congregation who would like to place flowers in the church in mem- ory of friends, or who are glad to provide fors decorating on certain Sundays, should communicate with them.
 "Very much of tne success of our church work depends on the faithful labors of the visiting committee, un- der the leadership of Mrs. c. H. Fox. The card catalogue of women of the church is carefully kept up-to-date. Illness and trouble are reported through the 40 visitors to the pastor and his assistant. and the news of church activities and interests is car r.ed to the homes of many who would not otherwise hear of them. Best of all, the feeling of fellowship and friendship is continually fostered, and the $50 calls made by this com- mittee have contributed much to the years work.
 "The day of work for the Visiting Nurses association and the Tubercu- losis society in March, and Hospital Day in December-the well attended ladies' night in November and an- nual meeting luncheon in January brought large numbers of women to- gether for business, fellowship and service.
 Respectfully submitted,
 MARY S. PLA1vr, President"

UNEMPLOYMENT
In Cloak Industry to Receive
Financial Protection

New York.-Six weeks contribu
tions to the unemployment insurance
trust fund, maintained jointly by en-
ployers and employees in the local
cloak industry, totaled $250,0O0.
President Sigman, of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union, estimates that the fund will
soon reach $1,600,000.
The fund is to be used for out-of-
work benefits. The employer pays
into the fund 2 per cent of his bust
ness and the worker pays l per cent
of his wage. The fund is controlled
by representatives. of the union and
the various organizations of employ
ers.
This system was recommended by a
commission appointed last summer by
Governor Smith, when tie-up in the
industry was threatened. The work
ers have demanded relief from unem-
ployment, because of the highly sea-
sonal character of this calling. AS
they are we'll organized their COM
plant was considered by employers,
many of whom have been blocked by
competitors in their efforts to i'm
prove conditions.

Trades Councils Warning
To Violators of State Labor
Laws Is Bringing Results

That the warning sent out by
Trades Council, that unless the vio-
lators of the state laws on the 8-hour
day on public work and 9-hour day
for women stopped this pratcice, that
prosecution would follow, is bringing
results is shown in letter to the
Press from the secretary of Trades
Council. There are some few employ
ers, however, who have not as yet
"seen the light" and won't perhaps
until brought before the court, and
violated the laws through ignorance
They are again warned and it is
earnestly hoped they will take heed of
the warning as council doesn't want to
prosecute anyone, but is determined
to enforce the labor laws
Following is the letter from Trades
Council:

LABOR WANTS
LEISURE TO
ENJOY LIFE

By International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-Matthew Woll,
vice president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, told delegates to the
eleventh recreation congress at At
lantic City that labor wants leisure
to live and not to loaf.
Industry neglects the human factor
and American industrial and COM
mercial life ignores the finer relation
ships of existence" said Mr.. Woll.
Industry is becoming dehumanized.
The labor movement and the recrea-
ton movement have a common OBJ
jective in the pursuit of happiness.
We should work to live and not live
to work The prime purpose of all
work is to enable mankind to live
happily"
Expressing approval for the work
of the Playground and Recreation
Association of America under whose
direction the recreation congress was
held, Mr. Woll promised the support
Of the American Federation of Labor
in the recreation development of this
country.

that they had been violating this law
and promised to stick to the provi-
sions of the same in the future.
A further survey by the secretary
of the COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council this week has brought to
light the fact that there are several
manufacturing establishments in
Hamilton where women and young
girls are employed that seem to think
that the Hamilton trades unionists do
not mean what we say when we warn
them to discontinue the violations of
the women's 50-hour week state law.
We have found in the past week
that several restaurants in addition
to manufacturing plants are openly
violating the 50-hour law as applies to
the employment of female labor.
The officers of the COOPERATIVE
Trades and Labor Council believe that
plenty of warning has been given
and that if these people insist on con-
tinuing to violate the law then prose
cutions will surely follow
While it has always been the policy
of the Hamilton labor movement to
avoid all the trouble possible, we are
determined to put stop to these vio-
lations.
Fraternally yours,
STANLEY OGG, Sec'y

HIGH

New York. Hard boiled Wall street
is staggered at the profits of the Del

Company and the Lehigh Valley Coal
Sales Company. Although 1923 was
far from normal year, Lackawanna's
profits were $5,500,000, and Lehigh's
$2,500,000. These profits are approx
imately one-third of Lackawanna' S
capital stock and quarter of Le-
highs capital stock.
The incomes have been jealously
guarded. Part of the campaign of

SIDONIE

nNE of the most charming and in
- teresting little names In the
feminine category is Sidonie, heroine
of novels beyond number, and yet
quite commonly in everyday usage.
Sidonie is another of the names which
are derived from places, and means
"of the city of Sidon."
Curiously, Sidonia is the feminine
of one of the most famous masculine
names of Roman history. Her pred
ecessor was Calus Sollius Appoli.
nariS-yes, actually-Sdonius He-was
said to be the most curious character
of the dark ages, a literary and mar,
rled bishop of Clermont, in the fifth
century, who, though possessing a rep
utation for extreme piety, was vast
ly different from the customary con.
ception of ecclesiastical sanctity.
This good man has been canonized
by the church, and the 23rd OF
August has been set aside as his feast
day. His only namesakes have been
women: France first evolved a Si-
donie, which is still extremely popular
there. Then came Sidonia as a
Spanish product The daughter of
George Podiebrand of Silesla, was
Sidonia, also called Zedena AS early
as 1888, Sidonia was in vogue In
Germany.
George Cable, whose military
romances are still widely read even by
the growing generation, did much to
establish the popularity of Sidonia
here, when he SO named the heroine
of one of his most popular books.
The turquoise is Sidonie's talismanic
stone. If set in gold it will protect
her from all danger. Monday is her
lucky day and ! her lucky number
