the industries. Special efforts have been made in this direction in behalf Of women and children. We are at tempting at the present time to secure a constitutional amendment giving Congress Jurisdiction over child labor. The effort of states and nation to pro- vide and encourage education have been such that it is fair to claim that any youth, no matter how humble his cir cumstances, can unaided secure col lege education by the exercise of his own efforts. We have achieved an equality of opportunity which has opened up the avenues of more abundant life to all the people.
 Organized labor is fast becoming che of 1the powers of capital in this country. Its cooperative enterprises ana its entrance into the field of bank ing and investment have given it not only a new power of influence but a new point of view. It is learning the problems of enterprise and manage ment by actual experience. This again is the working out of the American iGeal in industry. It is the beginning of a more complete economic equality among all the people. believe it to be the beginning of an era of better understanding, more sympathy and more fellowship, among those who serve the common welfare through invest ment and management and those who serve as wage earners. We have yet a long way to go but progress has begun and the way lies open to be a more complete understanding that will mark the end of industrial strife.

CHINA BROUGHT 5
 TO JEFFERSON
Players Score Success In The Love Of Su
 Shang' s'S

Scenic effects, finished acting, and finally drama itself formed combina- tion seldom before equalled on Bir- mingham stage, when the Jefferson All-Star Players made their premier opening in the special Labor Day mat inee opening of the Chinese play, 'sThe Love of Su Shong," by Dewitt New ing.
 The prologue and epilogue were laid in the apartment of Richard Tabor in New York, where Richard, the bored young man of the world, related the story of his adventures in China, which culminated in his bringing back home the girl of his heart, Su Shong. His listener was Bobby Blake, his chum and companion rum hound" of New York wild nights And the story he told was of his trip to China, of his discovery of Su. Shong. of his fight to win her. and of, the final revelation that she was the daughter of white peo- pie who had been mastered in the Boxer Rebellion.
 The scenes in China, laid along the Cha Poo road out of Shanghai, fairly rocked of the atmosphere of "Old China" with the incense, the almond eyed Chinese Heathens," the temples and the broken English of the natives.

American man or woman pre-eminent in the history of our nation who did not reach their place through toll. cannot think of anything that rep resents the American people as a whole so adequately as honest work. We per form different tasks but the spirit is the same. We are proud of work and ashamed of idleness. With us there is no task which is menial, no service which is degrading. All work is en- nobling and all workers are ennobled.
 ITO my mind America has but one main problem, the character of the men and women it shall produce. It is not fundamentally a government problem although the government can be of great influence in its solution.
 Ut is somewhat difficult to find men in important government positions who did not in their beginning live by the work of their own hands. Of those who sit at the cabinet table of the nation, none were born to the purple, save only as they were born to become American citizens and nearly all in early life earned their living by actual manual labor. In each i'm portant national conference, in which labor is interested, labor has been rep resented. Those who have been iden- tified with toll are now and will con- tinue to be in important places of gov ernment authority. The wage earners of America have been mixing their work with brains ever since the day of George Washington"

'RELEGiON IS LIKE LOVE" Exalts Us Above The Commonplace flsvclock Ellis Says.

Exalts Uea Above The Commonplace,
 Hsvclock Ellis Says.
 Why is 1t that otherwise intelligent persons will ask. How is religion still lpossibleT' According to the English philosopher, Havelock Ellis, in the Forum. such people do no task: How is walking still possible? Yet it is really the same kind of question.
 Religion, if it Is anything tall, must be natural organic function, like viking like eating; better still, one may say, like loving. For the function of religion, like that of love is not necessary to life, nor may it with any certainty be stimulated into activity. Need it.? These functions are either working within you or they are not. 2 If not, them it is clear that your or ganism is in no need of them at the present moment, and perhaps is born without the aptitude to experience them. Religion, like love, develops and harmonixes the rarest and most ex- travagant emotions. It exalts us above the commonplace routine of our daily life, and it makes us supreme over the world. But, like love also, it-is a little ridiculous to those who are unable to experience it. And since they can sur vive quite well without experiencing it, let them be thankful, as we also are thankful.

RAINY WEATHER HALTS OPENING
 OF CHINA WAR
All Northern Section Is Involved In Counter
 Movements
(By Associated Press)

SHANGHAI, Sept 1.-Renewed rainy weather coupled with the indecisiye re- suits of the conferences here of various military and commercial factions today apparently caused continued postpone ment of the threatened fighting.
 Shanghai tonight, however, awaited breathlessly for some authentic reports of the opening of a military engagement which, it is believed, may develop at any time. r
 Sends Troops
 The possibility of warfare which may involve all of northern China is clearly seen. It is known that Wu Pei-Fu, military dictator of Chihli, the province in which Peking is located, is continuing to dispatch troops southward. Such &C., ton is considered an open initiation to Chang Tso-Lin, Nanchurian war lord, | lauhch his long g-awaited attack against the Chinese.
 Luing- -Hsiang, Tuchun of Chekiang province, issued an official statement to- day declearing his position in the pres ent controversy strictly defensive. He asserted that thu strife had been thrust upon him against his wishes and denied charges that he had violated existing peace pacts.
 In the meantime, the forces of Luing- Hsiang are moving toward what may prove the battle front from three cen ters-Kaching and Huchow in the ex- treme northern part of Chekians province and from Sungkiang, near the southern borden of Kiangsu province, sonthwesf of Shanghai Aunare A concentration of his troops in the Quinsan district between Taihu 'Lake) and Woosun, suburb north of here, is contemplated.
 It is believed here that the stronger Kiang Stu forces are awaiting possible naval activity in the neighborhood of Woosung and Liuho, which is about 15 miles northwest of Woosung, further up the coast.

 T am not to be bribed," he added, "everybody has tried to do that since the days of Yuan Shi-Kai." (Former president of China, who died in l916). He asserted that Chfs peace terms were a direct offer from Wu Pei-Fu, which he positively would not consider.

Always a leading actor with the Jefferson Play CTS, he actually Uut-did himself in his new part. Mfss Manker rose tosevery occasion, requiring dramatic skill and finished acting,
 Ably assisting Mir. Jackson and Miss Manker were Frank McHugh and Philip Brandon, the latter Birming- hams own and a favorite- since his first appearance several months ago in smaller roles. Mir. McHugh, naturally a clever comedienA as Bobby Blake, fur nished most of the laughs with his com ments on Richards story! Mr., Bran den, as Song Sing, was, dramatically, only second hero, but actually, if the story had been twisted into reality was the real hero, inasmuch as he gave up his life for Su Shong, whom he, among several others, loved.
 8 DawIey A William
 Theater patrons were somewhat shocked to find DeForest Dawley in the part of the william. Usually the friend of the hero iii past productions, this week he was the cause of the conflict. which, basically, is the essence of drama. In true poetic justice, Mr.. Dawley, as Fong Kee, suffered the fate which he had planned for Richard, namely death.
 Others deserving no end of credit were A. s. Byron, who played Tai Ling Chow. foster father of Su Shong; Miss Helen Ray, his wife and Miss Muriel Kirkland, Wan Lou, wife of an aged man whom she does not love. @.s
 Altogether the play Is decided sue cess, as it has combined what is not often found in one production thrill ing action, excellent acting and at mosphere, or local color.

Akali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair
Use Mulsified

Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. 1t is
inexpensive and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is all
that is required. Simply moisten
your hair with water and rub it in.
