out the right sort of man for a husband.
 That is, in Amer ica. Abroad. where there are hereditary titles, the case is naturally different. There a duke can marry a barmaid, and thereby raise her to his own rank, but in this country ninety-nine times out of a hundred the husband takes the wife's status, not she his.

THE PRINCESS DE CONTI.

She was the daughter of Louis XIV, and Louise de la Valliere. She married Louis Armand de Bourbon, whose brother was chosen King of Poland Louis Armand died of the smallpox. The Princess was celebrated for her wit and wonderful beauty, Muley Ismael King of Morocco, seeing her portrait fell in love with her and sent an am bassador to demand her hand. Another likeness inspired the sen of the Viceroy of Lima with a violent passion, and one of these pictures being lost in In dia was found by the natives, who worshipped it as the image of the God dess Manas.

from her bridal trip is to chuck
 all of her husbands old friends out
 of the window and install her own
 in their places. The man makes
 an effort to hold on to his inti-
 mates, but when they call at the new home they find the doormat
 so coated with ice that they slip
 up on it, and after a dinner com
 posed exclusively of cold cuts and
 frappe politeness they stay away
 in pity for poor old Tom or Joe.
 The situation Is precisely the same whether Tom or Joe was a rounder with hosts of friends, or whether Tom or Joe is an intellectual who consorted with the intelligentsia. The new wife installs a new social order that is con- genial to her, and her husband finds out that he has dropped into it, and that his friends are none of his pick ing.
 Many a man marries a pretty
 but common and uncultured girl,
 thinking that he can transplant her into his own social sphere, and
 that she will be accepted because she is his wife. But the experi- ment is rarely successful. The
 women of his world turn their
 thumbs down. She is always an
 outsider, and she generally ends
 by going back to her own and talk ing her husband with her.
 But the woman of position may marry a rough diamond and Haunt him in the face of the socially elect, and have him received into the inner circle, because she is one of those who belong. She knows the signs and the and may pass in whom she will.

 Brainerd, A few of the people who read her little pieces for the paper and write to her seem to think so. They have other misconceptions of her too. It it fact that she does lot of thingsrthat young women of her age do. She even goes so far as to pride herself on her ability as dancer. Of course, she reads lot, but some times she puts a book aside to accept an invitation to a party of some kind Like most human beings of her age Miss Brainerd likes good time.
 Miss Brainerd is very frequently late for appointments and late with her copy. She is afraid of lightning and thunder and will suffer the tortures of a toothache before she will climb into Il dentists chair.
 With her general beliefs I am quite familiar and very frequently they are put in this column. She likes her work, but is very lazy. She puts off until the last minute what she should have done much sooner. This is one of the things about her that l do not like. There are some other things too that make me wish she would take hold of herself for an overhauling.
 Miss Brainerd has a habit of mis- placing things or losing them. Her friends have been affected by this un- fortunate habit of hers and it has often driven them into frenzy. They don't believe she will ever recover from it.
 She enjoys reading this column a

Why husbands should go to their wives plane, instead of wives going to their husbands is easily understood. The woman dominates the home. She strikes its note, She settles who shall be it's guests. She gathers around her the social circle most agreetble to herself.

The underbred, vulgar, uncultured woman will bring her children up ac- cording to her own ideas. They will be uncouth, young hoodlums, intent only on material pleasures, with no ap- preciation of the things that are fine and beautiful in life. Their father may break his heart in disappointment over them, but nothing that he can do will undo the handiwork of their mother.
 But if a woman is strong of will and purpose; if she loves learning; if she is ambitious, her children will win out in the race of life, no matter what sort of a handicap they have in a father.

a woman is determined that her children shall have a good educa- tion she will see to it that they get through college, by hook or crook, and some way she will make her house a place where culture and refinement reign, though it be the humblest cottage.
 If woman is determined that her children shall get on in the world she will make of her own shoulders a ladder on which they will climb to success. She will breed into the very marrow of their bones and infuse into their very souls the grit and determina- tion and the pep and enthusiasm that carry men and women on to their goal.

For the some-account mother SUD- plies the energy and the ambition to a boy, and the no-account father forces upon the boy the necessity of using his talents to the utmost. At any rate, if you will call the roster of the great men of this country, you will find that almost every one of them was the re- suit of this combination. They all had great mothers and fathers who didn't amount to much. But the great men who had great fathers. and silly, weak mothers are scarce as hens teeth.

CRADLE, DEPOSED
FAKER, PROPOSED
FOR LABOR BOARD
Senate Radicals Fight
Board, Nominations.

WASHINGTON.-A new progress
sive effort to force down freight
rates on farm products was begun in
the Senate today.
Senator La Toilette, progressive
leader, demanded in a resolution that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
be ordered to cut rates on all farm
products to pre-war levels.
The resolution was referred to the
Interstate Commerce Committee of
the Senate of which Senator Smith,
democrat, is chairman.
The first tilt between progressives
and the regulars in the committee,
came over nominations sent by
President Coolidge for places on the
Railroad Labor Board and the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Progressive want the board abol-
ished and they resented the appoint
ments proposed by the administration
for continuing its powers. But they
permitted the Labor Board nominal
tons to slip thru the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee.
Favorable action was taken on
the nomination of f. F. Cradle, Mich
igan. who betrayed the Maintenance
of Wav strike; Horace Baker, Ohio,
and Edwin P. Morrow, Kentucky, to
be members Of the board.
One of the first legislative steps Of
the new committee undoubtedly will
be repeal of the Pullman Baggage
and transportation Surcharge rates.
No less than six amendments have
been put before the committee on
this subject.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.-Ex-
Secretary of the Interior A. B. Fall
said that the only reason he has
not appeared before senate COM
mittee investigating the leasing by
the department Of the interior Of
public oil lands is that he is sick.
Fall is registered at his hotel under
another name.
He declined to say where he got
the money with which to buy a
$4,000 ranch in New Mexico at a
time when he was known to be in
hard straits financially. He also re-
fused to comment on his purchase"
of live stock from Harry Sinclair,
the oil magnate. II was brought
out at the senate committee hear
ings that Fall bought from Sinclair
lot of breed stock for $1,000, and
that the freight Sinclair paid
amounted to $1.100.
Mr.. Fall recently made a trip to

NEW YORK.-Garment workers

in strikes to enforce existing agree
ments, Negotiations for a settle
ment have been opened but an I'M
Outstanding has not yet been

Commenting upon this conflict
THE Advance" official organ of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America, states that most of the
employers involved in this dispute
seem unable to learn from expert
ence that an agreement is effective
for the entire period for which it
is written and that the mere OPEN
ing of a new season does not mean
a new agreement.
"The Joint Board is determined
this time to make it unmistakable
both to manufacturers and contrac-
tors that the program ,sor enforcing
the agreement in the market and
safeguarding the public thru the
maintenance of union conditions in
the shop is going to be carried out
to the letter"
1t IS stated at union headquarters
that the employers offensive is due
to a desire to exploit the present alb
normal unemployment. An attempt
to lower wages and working stand
ards at moment when jobs arc
at a premium is believed by the en-
ployers to stand an excellent chance
Of success. The Union differs with
this assumption and is now truggling
to defeat the employers campaign.

ILLINOIS MINERS
PREPARING FOR
BIC CONVENTION
Preliminary Meet Held
at St. Louis, Ill.
Especial to The Daily worker.)

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill.-Miners'
delegates from many sections of Illi-
nois assembled at Carpenters Hall
here, for the purpose of formulating
plans for the National Convention of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, which convenes at Indianapolis.
January 22nd. All indications point
to the fact that this years gathering
will be the most important conven-
ton ever held.
Those who attended the meeting,
here, and some of them travelled far,
had a definite understanding of the
problems affecting the United Mine
Workers of America. The issues
raised by the Progressive Miners
Committee were discussed and many
Of the delegates reported that resolu-
tons dealing with the important SUBJ
jects had met with the unanimous ap-
proval of their respective local
unions.
AS is customary in such gatherings,
the inevitable wag was present with
joke. One of the delegates an
nounced that his local passed reso-
luton calling upon the United Mine
Workers of America to increase the
size of the Mine Workers Journal.
This astounding proposal almost
threw the meeting into an uproar
They evidently feared that, consider
ing the ability Of Mr.. Ellis Searles, to
make Of the journal a dumping
ground for all the pro-capitalist rub
bish he can pick up or purchase, if it
were increased in size the opportun-
tiles for harm would be much greater.
But as the delegate read the reso-
luton, anger turned to laughter
"We object TO the Journal" read the
resolution, ''in its present size anc
want it enlarged so that we can make
better dummies out Of it,"
The clief use Of the Miners Jour.
nal has been for the making OF
dummies" and for the benefit OF
those who do not understand the
parlance Of the mine / will say, that
the name "Dummie" is used when re.
ferring TO the packing that is neces.
sary TO prepare for a shot or blast.

this kind of work.
