SENATOR OSCAR MORRIS,
MILWAUKEE, NEW MAN
An Appeal Is Made to Attorney
General Herman L. Ekern AT
Madison

Gov Blaine's trouble ridden ad-
ministration developed a new row at
Green Bay on Wednesday when three
members of the legislative highway
committee bolted the Craftsmanship
of Senator George Staudenmayer,
Portage, and elected Senator Oscar
Morris, Milwaukee, in his place.
The committee, meeting prelim-
mary to tour of Wisconsin roads to
work out a program for federal aid,
deposed Staudenmayer on the theory
that he could not serve as member
of the highway commission and the
Legislative committee, and for the
further reason that he is alleged TO
have refused to call a joint session
of the commission and the committee
and declined to certify expense ac-
counts of members of the committee.
Appeal to Ekern
Political leaders view the ousting
of Staudenmayer as sequel to his
recent sharp attack on A. r. Hirst
state highway engineer, and his
methods
The issue of whether Staudenmay-
er can serve on the commission and
the committee was put up to At
torney General Herman L. Ekern
and another business session will be
held in Madison on May 10 when Mr..
Ekern is expected to make his rul-
Ing.
Three members of the legislative
committee voted to GUST Stauden-
mayer, Senator Morris, Assemblyman
Richard Kempke, Merrill and Assem-
blyman F. A. Frederick, Reedsburg.
Charles p. Hansens River Falls, was
not present.
A statement issued from the ex-
executive office at Madison on Wednes
day emphasized that Senator Stau-
denmayer was deposed only as chair
man, and that he remains a member
of the committee.
Custer Follows Row
Senator Staudenmayer's appoint,
ment to the craftsmanship followed 8
lively row in the legislature, when
the senator from Portage expressed
disappointment because he was not
named chairman of the committee on
finance. At that time his friends
pointed out that heading the legisla-
tive committee on highways was 10
less important and he finally decided
to accept that craftsmanship.
Since then Senator Staudenmayer
has been at outs with Engineer Hirst
and now appears to be in a heated
row with members Of the legislative
committee
Members Of the committee said
they voted to remove the senator
because they felt it would prevent
further embarrassment, both to the
chairman and to themselves. Stau-
denmayer was not present when the
committee met.
AS to his right to serve on the COM
mittee, the legislators said they were
willing to abide by the decision OF

A Lesson in Hosiery Shopping

I'VE have the dictators of fashion

In these days of limitations, SO few wo-

Possibly the greatest of all limitations
in quality hosiery is that used on Full
Fashioned hosiery. The name full

stood. 1t has but one meaning, in hos

The seam in a Full-F Fashioned hose is
true seam, it actually closes together
two edges of fabric, and extends from
the toe to the top of the hose. The
mock-seam hose does not carry real
seam-merely an imitation seam that is
put into the stocking after it is taken
from the circular machine on which it
is knit.
The shaping in the calf of a Full-Fash-
ioned hose is noticably different from all
OF her kinds: In the Full-Fashioned
stocking there is branching OUT of
the threads on either side of the seam
which gives it it's very necessary fit, and
also, extra threads are here used to give
width.
In the ankle of a Full-Fashioned
stocking all extra threads used in the calf
of the stocking are absorbed, and here
we find the most striking difference

coarser and more brittle-while pure silk
is soft and will crush to the touch.
The shopper need not worry a great
deal about those receptions.
When Full-Fashioned hosiery is de-
sired. she can assure herself by asking
the clerk to show her where and how it
is "full-fashioned"
If pure silk is wanted. there is really
only one reliable test and that is COM

Hurley in Race for Free
Chest Clinic

Hurley is in the race for one of
the twenty-four free chest clinics
offered by the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association this year for
the highest per capita sale of
Christmas Seals in its 1924 annual
campaign, Communities that won
clinics last year are particularly
anxious to win them again this
year, knowing the value of the
work, and those which failed last
year are entering the contest with
undated zeal hoping that the prize
will fall their way in 1924.
Twenty-Five of the clinics are to
be awarded to incorporated cities
and villages as prizes for the highest
and second highest per capita sale
of seals; and the other two will go
to the unincorporated villages or
cities having the highest and sec
ond highest sales.
More than 300 towns have en-
tered the contest. In order to make
the terms as fair as possible the
incorporated communities have been
classified into eleven groups, ar
ranged according to population, and
two clinics are to be awarded in
each group. Group one is compos-
ed of cities and villages Of a popula-
ton of 5000 or more, group two
of communities Of 1000 to 5000
population, and so on down the
scale, group eleven being limited to

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Custom, habit and tradition are
responsible for many forms of waste.
fnis applies with particular force to
the building industry, in which sea
soHal idleness is responsible for a
tremendous economic waste.
Happily effective efforts are now
being made to straighten out the
curve of construction activities.
There was more building in the
United States last winter than at
any similar period in the history Of
the country. Not only was the
volume unprecedented, but the per-
centage of gain over normal winter
building was sufficient to indicate
radical innovation within the in
dustry.
Preliminary figures nov available
indicate that throughout the country
building activities this winter are
proceeding on scale in keeping with
the corresponding period a year ago.
The benefits of stabilized building
activities reach all lines of business.
When construction slows up every
line Of trade and industry is injured.
When building work goes ahead
actively, all business is helped. The
building industry acts as a balance
wheel for the nations business.
Investigation has shown that the
time-honored falling off in building
work during the winter months has
been due almost entirely to custom
and tradition.
What is needed more than anything
else in order to eliminate seasonal
fluctuations is public cooperation
Wherever possible those who are in
position to influence building
activities should do what they can to
stimulate winter operations.
The elimination of the winter
building let-down is a splendid
example of public thrift The effect.
is helpful in every interest of the
nation and all its citizens.
