The Proclamation
Mayor Shank's Labor day procla-
nation:
To-day it takes just six hours for
labor to convert a growing forest
tree into a paper. printed and sold
on the street. Formerly it took
months for labor to do this very
thing. Labor is progressing.
within a short time a national
child labor law will be enacted. La
Dor is developing.
I'VE have come to an industrial
consciousness so that capital and
labor are now joining hands in serv-
ice Of a country which they both
love and which they recognize as
their sovereign. Capital and labor
are talking more TO one another and
mutually condemn acts of hostility
Labor is moving forward.
LabOr's Inspiration
Labor has taken such a prOmi-
nent position in our national life that
the first Monday in September has
been dedicated to its honor. So
proclaim, Monday. Sept l. 1924. a
legal holiday in the city Of Indian
apolis.
This wonderful city Of ours,
covering more than $50 square miles,
has become noted for its lack of un-
employment, and on account of its
diversified industries has the name
Of a panic-proof city. Indianapolis
has more homes per 1000 people
than any city in the United States,
for it has been calculated that in
every working hour of every work
ing day work is begun or one or
more new homes. Sixty-flve per cent
of our people own their homes and
our city is heralded as a city of con-
tented. homecoming. working peo
pie. Statistics show Indianapolis Is
high in the list Of cities in per capita
wealth, as the wealth here Is widely
distributed. All Of these things are
an inspiration to labor.
In honor OF this Labor Day, lei
US remember as the poet has said
This is the gospel Of labor
Ring it. ye bells Of the kirk.
The Lord Of Love came dowr
from above
To live with the men who work
This is the rose that he planted here
In the thorn-cursed soil
Heaven is blest with perfect rest.
But the blessing Of earth is toll.
Let each of US faithfully give oul
support and our personal help to this
day and what II stands for

FIRST RADIO FAIR
 SET TO CATCH WOMAN'S FANCY
Huge Display Overflows Madison Square Gar
 den And ArmOry
neased Wire To Age.Herald)


 NEW YORK, Sept. 24.- Radio, which started out to be children's plaything and then began to interest the grown-up men folks about the house until their easy chairs and slippers knew them no more, has come the way of all mechanical contraptions that have pleased the American public. Along with automobiles, photographs, kitchen cabinets and nah jongg sets, radio out fits are now being constructed to be sold to women.
 Polished mahogany, walnut and other drawing room woods have been utilized by the manufacturers to transfer radio sales drives this year from men and boys to women.
 For The Ladies
 The first radio worlds fair which has overflowed Madison Square Garden now has packed the huge Sixty-ninth Regiment armory as well and in al- most every booth the dealers have ar ranged their exhibits to attract the la dies.
 There are loud speakers with all the statuesque grandeur of the grandfather clock with heavy base, tapering pill lar of wood as a standard and at the top small closed cabinet which is alien to the twisted coils mad gadgets of a radio set as a cut diamond is to a chunk of green glass.
 Cabinet makers have taken the radio business for their own and around the sets they have built handsome cases with polished plane surfaces and deli cate curving legs. Combined with the receiving sets and photographs in some some booths an the double equipment in walnut cabinet fit for place in the handsomest drawing room can be had for less than $4OO.
 Heretofore, dealers said, men and boys have been their best customers, but the inquiries already made as a result of the present show proves that women are as ready to take over the control of the family radio as of the family motor. Sets may be had in gaudy red spotted with Japanese fig ures or in a tapestried effect to be placed on table next to divan.
 And They Respond
 Women, however. are most interested an the dignified cabinets that conceal either radio and phonograph or a radio alone. Men and boys, the lat ter wide-eyed before the luxuriousIy fitted cases, Outnumber the women 50 to but the women are responding to the dealers appeal and are buying.
 Freak exhibits include home made set fitted to wrist watch strap. It works and could be worn with com fort Some youths sister surrendered her vanity case in the interests of science and the case now rests in the amateur show room with complete receiving set within it. The best of the home made sets continue to empha- size black panels and obtruding dials and knobs. Professional manufa cturers have passed that stage. A radio cabi- net with the top down might be any thing from sewing chest to china closet.

CAPTAIN BLOOD
 RICH IN HISTORY

Not only is Captain Blood" one of the most thrilling pictures ever shown in Birmingham, but it offers really an educational treat for both young and old.
 The slave market seen in Captain Blood' is an exact replica of those in use years and years ago, and one sees the men being punished in a me- dieval fashoin which if it were in use today would be Outlawed by decent and humane citizens. Men, instead of horses are seen pulling the rough ploughshares in the fields, and whole teams of ten and twenty men are hitched to blows used in those day. The interior of the "Arabella" is nothing short of beau tiful, especially so, since it is perfect in every detail to the ships used by the pirates in those days, and the cabin of the captain is one of the most beau tiful and unique ever seen.
 In connection with Captain Blood" Fred Stark has conceived and will present all this week at the and 9 o'clock performances, an overture-pro- logue, Captain Blood, Yo-Ho" which is one of the most pretentious offer ings ever seen here The Temple con- cert orchestra will be ably assisted in these prologs by the Original Four Male quartette, who will offer a series of entrancing, as we'll as entertaining scngs. The love theme for Captain Blood will be the Passion Flower" and during the picture the entire over- ture of 'The Flying Dutchman" will be played by the Temple orchestra.
