College young ladies', of the Young
Womens Christian Association, tell
working girls to dress plainly and
demurely" for their souls sake and to
impress possible husbands with their
good qualities. Sensible Helen Gwynne,
retiring president of the Y. w. C. A..
who is factory worker, and has pre-
sided over an assembly of 10000 fac
tory girls, tells these girls to dress as
conspicuously as they can, "even
flashily"
The rich girl, says Miss Gwynne, can
afford to dress plainly. That sets her
off in her luxurious surroundings. But
the working girl, in her plain home,
must dress as well as she can, by way
of contrast with her surroundings, if
she wants to marry. Sensible Miss
Gwynne.

In the second part of Faust, Goethe
tells of the farmer blowing deep be-
cause under the Emperors law he
was allowed to keep all buried treas

was probably an ingenious scheme to
make the farmer plow deeper, make
his soil richer, and thus be able to
pay heavier taxes.

Two questions that interest politi-
clans are these:
Can the Democrats be persuaded to
give up the rule that compels a man
to get two-thirds of all the delegates
before he can be nominated?
And will the Democrats put in their
national platform plank denouncing
the Ku Klux Khan, and thus outlawing
many Southern States Oh whom the
Democrats must depend to win?
1t is a delicate question and may
be solved by some vague generaliza-
ton concerning all secret societies.

RAIL LABOR BOARD ISSUES NEW UKASE'
 TO BROTHERHOODS
Will Send Officers After Stone and Robertson if They Fail to
 Attend Hearing"

Chicago, July, 19.-The Railroad La bor Board is experiencing some difficult in its attempt to grab jurisdiction over the wage negotiations between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen and the Western Rail road Association.
 When the wage conference at Chi cago broke up some time ago and mat ters in dispute were sent back to sys- tenn committees and individual rail roads for settlement the Railroad La bor Board announced that 1t would as sume jurisdiction and set date for a "hearing,"
 In fact, two dates were set, the last one for June 20, at neither of which representatives of the two brother hoods put in an appearance, they talk ing the ground that the board had no authority to assume jurisdiction while negotiations were still pending and that there was no indication of dis ruption of interstate commerce.
 . On June 20, however, the board pro- ceeded with an ex parte hearing, only the railroads being represented.
 Board IsSueS AnOther "UkaSe
 Now the board has issued some more orders to the broth erhoods, reading as follows:
 "Q That 10 a. m. (daylight saving days, if necessary, be set as the date of the hearing.
 "(2) That the witnesses above re- ferred to Representative of the En- gineers and Firemen) be notified that the board requests their presence at said hearing to give testimony in be- half of the employees and that they be requested to notify theboard on or be- fore July 10, 1924, whether they will voluntarily appear or whether legal summons will be necessary. In this con nection the boards action in the case of the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad is cited as a precedent
 "(3) That in the event the board pose of any of said witnesses to at tend said hearing the chairman and secretary of the board are directed to issue the proper subpoena and to take such other steps as the law directs to procure the attendance of said wit nesses.
 "(4) That all parties be advised of the foregoing order and of the boards desire that all be present at the hear ing to conduct the presentation of their respective evidence"

Compers says:

When business-rnean1ng industry and commerce-come to recognize the validity of Labor's philosophy of indus trial self-government and self-directlon it will not be necessary for business to bind itself in blindness and ignorance to the past Nor will 1t be necessary for business to maintain the army of lobbyists that now infests the national capital and that infests every legisla- tive hall to some degree.
 When the decisions of industry can be made openly and fearlessly by in dustry then those who are engaged Ill industry will find it not only possible, but necessary to pitch their thought on an entirely different mental and moral plane It will then be not only pos sible but necessary to abandon many of the devious practices of today. It will be possible, too, and necessary, to un- derstand facts as they are and to cease torturing facts out of their true form to suit fancied expediency.
 May there be hastening of the day of understanding.

FOREIGN WAR VETS HOLD BIG PICNIC
 IN ANSONIA
dresses Last Sunday at Schuetzen Park.

Ansonia, July 19-Probably one of sembled at Schuetzen Park for some time, turned out last Sunday to attend the Veterans of Foreign Wars picnic. Dancing was enjoyed by the younger people, music being furnished by the Keystone orchestra. Eugene Conroy favored with exhibitions of buck and wing dancing, while Edward Bergin gave some splendid juggling acts. Three rounds of clever boxing were given by Micky and Happy Rol- linson, who will meet D. Champ1ain of Wallingford, July 24th, for the 112- pound championship.
 James H. Smith of the Federation of Post Office clerks gave brief talk, commenting the organization on its splendid growth and it's militant spirit, and assured them that the Federation of Post Office Clerks is ready to as sist them at all times in obtaining jus tice for the men who fought in the late War.
 Congressman P. B. O'Su1livan of Derby, who was the next speaker of the afternoon, was given wonderful ovation as he stod up to address the gathering. MT. OSullivan in his witty and forcefu1 style, told the Veterans that had he been writing the late Bo- nus bill he would have drafted clause for a cash payment optional, but un- der the circumstances in Washington, it was almost impossible for them to receive anything more tangible than the bill passed by Congress. He as sured them that he was down III Washington to represent them and he wanted the men to feel that they could call upon him at all times for any as sistance that he was able to give them. He appreciated the work that they had done for the government and said that the government could not do too much to compensate the boys for that service.
 Mayor John C. Mead was also one of the speakers, and there. were a number of officers of the Veterans or ganization, including Commander liar rison and State VieeCommander Charles Blanchard, both of Bristol.
 The entertainment committee was composed of John s. Petro, chairman; Commander Harry Cow, William Pratt, William Hayes, George Coda, Elliott Clark, Michael Gluse and Joseph Coda.
