LABOR MAY
SEEK TO CURB SCHOOL
BOARDBY Law PROCESS

By International Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Dec, 1s.AThe Chicago
Federation of Labor is seriously con-
sidering the advisability Of seeking
legislative relief in reference to the
intolerable public school situation
when the Illinois General Assembly
convenes in January.
The Board of Education Of Chicago
has assumed defiant attitude toward
all elements opposing junior high
schools and the platoon system, and
is going ahead with its plans to erect
a large number Of junior high school
buildings. Officers of the Chicago
Federation of Labor charge that this
is breach Of good faith in that the
Board Of Education had promised
several months ago that experimental
work only would be undertaken with
junior highs and the platoon system.
Board Law Unto Itself
Chicago is confronted with a pecu-
liar and irksome situation in refer
ence to its Board of Education. The
members of the board are appointed
by the Mayor and confirmed by the
City Council, and once appointed they
are a law unto themselves. Neither
the Mayor nor the City Council can
remove or discipline them. The mem
bers Of the board serve without sal
airy, which precludes the possibility
Of poor man being an active and
effective member of the board. It is
to overcome this situation that Iegis-
lative relief may be sought.
It is charged that the University of
Chicago and the Union League Club
now dominate the Chicago Board of
Education in the interest of those who
should be but are not heavy taxpayers
and the large employers Of labor.
To Tie Workers to Shops
It is further alleged that the pur-
pose behind the junior highs and the
platoon system is to give the children
of workingmen as little education as
possible so that they may be confined
to the status of their parents. In
word, to tie them to the work benches
and machines in the shops and fac
tories.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
and the Chicago Teachers Federation
have been the leaders in this fight up
to the present time. The Board Of
Education has been successful in lin
ing up a large number of women's
clubs against the teachers and unions

FILM FABLES
By DON ALLEN

Once upon a time a hardened cine ma critic took his typewriter in hand and lowed as how he was going to write a scenario as was a scena- rio.
 For years he had been so busy telling directors and producers what to do and what not to do that he never, up to this point, had found time to speak for himself.
 I'm eye-weary," he sez to himself, sezze, "of all this hokum and ordi- nary film stuff, so here goes for a story of real life"
 And for nearly a half hour his facile fingers flew over the peck peck machine, and when he had pulled the last sheet from his ma chine he heaved a great manful sigh of relief. He told his next of kin that a masterpiece had been born.
 In few days he received, his script back with advice from a film expert to put a forest fire here and flood scene there; a girl being almost tossed from a cliff in such and such a place. And, above all," concluded the Expert, have mother put lamp in the window for your final fadeout"
 Some doctors still declare the critic died of heart failure: others maintain that grief killed him, but the ma Jofity stick to the suicide theory.
 Moral: Real life is only for news reels II" "

 Chicken POx

Chicken pox is a seasonal disease It is more prevalent during the win ter month and is co-incidental with the child's school life or wherever CUTS in epidemic form. An epidemic of chicken pox at the Stockholm Children's hospital some years ago was cut short by vaccinating all the we'll children with the virus from a chicken pock.
 To many mothers who have suc- cessfully seen their little ones through an attack of this mild di- sease without any treatment whatso- ever, the above measures may seem wholly unnecessary, but it has been proved over and over again that pre- vention is better than cure.
 The mother who has absorbed the fact that her children need not suf- fer the usual diseases of childhood and that by preventing these fnfec- tions from reaching them she also carries on a special work for the community at large is a more valu- able citizens than she who simply lets things take their course.
 Chicken pox is one of the most common infectious diseases of child hood. Rare indeed is the child of eight or ten who has escaped it, so great is the suspectibility of children to the virus of this disease. Every one is acquainted with the skin le- sions of chicken pox. More often than not it leaves but a few slight scars which disappear in the course of time, but there are cases in which the pox are very deep and the con- sequent pits so conspicious as to be mistaken for those of smallpox.
 This is in> itself enough to actuate precautions against this infection, every one into using all necessary
 A few pox marks on the face of a little girl of eight or ten are not es- pecially unsightly, but I frequently see girls of IS seeking advice for such blemishes. There is a graver reason than merely a cosmetic one, however. which should urge us to ciScumvent this disease, i. e., a simple slight attack in one child may prove very grave in another who has been exposed to it.
 We must therefore keep this fact ever before us and strive in every way to protect children from ex- posture to infections.

CHILDREN'S PARTIES

The holiday week has taught its lesson and most mothers would now prefer that their children be given plain homemade sweets. Cookies are a delight to the kiddies when baked in fancy forms and decorated. Star shaped cookies covered with a red frosting and the name of the child In green frosting across the center will prove a great joy. The noodle letters usually used for soup could be used for the name and chocolate frosting substituted for the red icing The tin cutters make it possible to have a large array of fancy cookies. The rings can be ornamented as wreaths. With vegetable colorings and the tiny candies attractive re- suits in the Christmas colorings can be achieved. A novel centerpiece would be a small Christmas tree dec orated with cookies. The children would find great delight in the horses, soldiers, wreaths, stars. hearts, etc, suspended from the tree and the cookie Santa Claus on the crown holding a candle or a fancy electric bulb would amuse them. It would be great fun to see the cookies served directly from the tree.

 Cream one-half cupful butter with one and half cupfuls of sugar; add two eggs, one-half cupful milk, fla vorins to taste and two cupfuls of flour sifted with one teaspoon baking powder. Chill the dough before roll ing. If necessary, add flour, roll thin, cut out and bake in hot oven. By separating the dough and adding different ingredients to each, variety may be attained. Chopped figs, raj sins, nuts, citron, candied' cherries, spices or shredded cocoanut are all good for this purpose.

SAVING COAL

One thrifty housewife makes her coal last twice as long as in the usual way of handling, and this is now she does it. Before using it she steeps it for twenty four hours In water in which common salt and saltpetre have been dissolved. using one cup of each of these salts to one gallon of Water She puts on the damp coal after the fire is well started.
 A proper control of the stoyepiue damper will do much to keen down the coal bill. Much fuel is wasted by allowing the heat to escape up the chimney. Check this waste by clos ing the pipe damper. If the fire burns too hard the closing of the pipe damper will check the fire more eff fectually than the damper in the ash pit, which Housewives usually use as q check.
 You will save coal by keeping the range fire going from day to day. To do this rake out the ashes in the evening. put on coal, open dampers until there is blue flame ali through the coal. The firebox should be almost filled with coal. Close all dampers excepting the check draft damper in the stovepipe. In the morning open all Hampers and you will speedily have a good fire.
