After a harmonious convention last
ing ten days, the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners adjourned
September 80 to meet again in four
years, probably at Lakeland, Fla,
where the home for aged members
of the union is situated. Approx
mately 750 delegates were in attend
ance at the sessions.

officers of the union showed that the
organization had made great strides
since the last report of the officials
and had not only gained in mem
bership but in finances.
The convention apprenticeship
committee reported in favor Of To-
cal unions cooperating with voca-
tional schools and building trade or
ganizations in their localities on the
matter Of training apprentices.
The convention after a long de-
bate, adopted an amendment to the

SEVEN BOOTHS ASSURE
BEAUTY PATRONS SERVICE

Beauty shops will soon vie with
garages in number, but the public de-
mand seems to easily absorb them
and caliSfof more. The latest thing
in the city in beauty shops has been
installed in the Washington Hotel by
D. R. Trapp, who also operates the
Hotel Morck barber shop.
Seven booths, one for facials and
hair washing, three for marcelIing,
two for hair cutting, and one for the
kiddies, insure patrons prompt serv-
ice. These are equipped with the very
latest chairs designed for the work
in hand, with sterilizing cabinets that
insure perfect sterilizing of every
article used. An auto chair, which is
a complete miniature of real auto,
is used for work in the kiddies' booth.
The prevailing color scheme for the
woodwork is French gray, with hand
painted fresco design in pink.
A staff of seven operators is in at
tendance. All hair cuts are special
ly designed by Messrs. Trapp and
Choquette; Miss Betty Wieland, man
ager, is a specialist in face and scalp
treatments and marching; Miss
Taps, specialist in manicuring; Miss
Mitchell, face and scalp specialist;
Miss Rogers, specialist in marcelling
and French paper waving, and Miss

WELCOME BARBER SHOP
PUTS IN DISPLAY WINDOW

The Welcome Barber shop, along
with the other business places in the
Zelasko block, has had a new foun-
dation put under it. This gave oppor-
.tunity for the installation of a show
window, which will be used to display
face creams and powders, toilet arti-
cles and other aids to beauty. Lillian
Milette, proprietress, who operates a
three-chair shop, stated that manicur-
ing and marcelling as well as hair

Chief in point Of size among the
monopolistic producers of household
goods is the Aluminium Company Of
America, in which Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew Mellon, his fam
lily and friends are heavily inter-
ested.
Charges Company MOnopOIizes Trade
'"The Aluminium Company of Amer
ica," says the Federal Trade Com
mission, 'has a practical complete
monopoly of the production of alum
inum in the United States and is the
only domestic source of supply of
metal for aluminium cooking utensils
manufacturers. This fact, combined
with a high protective tariff on alum
mum, enables it to control the price
of aluminium. The Aluminium Com
pany of America is also a manufac-
ture of cooking utensils through its
subsidiary, the United States Alum
inum Company; it owns, moreover,
thirty per cent of the capital stock
of the Aluminium Good Manufactur-
ing Company and exercises a substan-
tial control over it's policy"
Findings of the Trade Commission
on domestic appliances are contained
in a report made in response to a
senate resolution of the 62nd con-
gress.
Outstanding features of the report
are the control exercised by patent
pools among manufacturers of wash
ing machines, the shutting out of new
competition in the vacuum cleaner in
dustry, the questionable competitive
tactics of the leading manufacturer OF
laluminum cooking utensils, which is
affiliated with the Aluminium Com
pany of America, the monopolistic
position of the latter company, which
has apparently engaged in various
practices forbidden by a judicial de-
cree under the Sherman act, the
dominating position of the Singer
Company in the sewing machine in
dustry, the efforts of trade associa-
tions in the refrigerator and broom
industries to enhance the prices of
their products, and the competitive
methods of retail dealers in kitchen
utensils and domestic appliances.
In the vacuum cleaning industry,
the Commission found, competition
was effectively shut out by an agree

years, and the revised amendment

spirited debate on the subject, the
delegates defeated Mulcahy's pro-

authorized the general executive
board and trustees of the home to
proceed with the construction of the
necessary buildings so that the home
may be ready for occupancy at the
earliest date possible.
The vote Of authorization, as well

the delegates that the vote expressed
the majority sentiment Of the Broth

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

A movement is in progress which
has for its object the encouragement
of better standards of dress among
the men Of this country.
There come to the mind with the
mention of this movement the pro-
blems Of personal thrift in dress.
These are questions of more inn
portance than might seem to be the
case at a casual glance.
1t cannot be denied that ap-
pearanees influence our judgment of
others. For example, the young
man who is applying for a position is
at a great disadvantage if he is
flashily over-dressed. It is not the
amount of money spent on clothes
that counts; it is the general inn
preston of neatness, cleanliness,
self-respect, success, ambition and
respect for the good opinion of
others, all of which are in part
conveyed through the medium of
ones apparel.
One of the outstanding character
istics Of the miser is his slovenly, i'll
kempt appearance. One of the pre-
dominating characteristics of the
spendthrift is his tendency toward
flashy clothes.
In this day and age of the world,
no man, especially the young man
with his hopes and dreams of great
success, can afford to neglect his
personal appearance. Clothes do
not make the man, but good APP
pearance is part of ones equipment
for the battle of life.
Any movement which has for its
object merely making people spend
more money for clothes is economic
ally unsound, but any educational
movement which seeks legitimately to
encourage sensible practices in these
matters is worthy of praise.
The desire for fine clothes and the
ambition to dress better than others
has proved the downfall of many.
But it is within the meaning of good
thrift to dress sensibly. Money
spent to maintain such standards IS
not wasted.

amount was the deficit of this years

there is very little chance that the

undertaking, comparable to the state

PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle Dud.

Uncle bud Says: Fellows who
are in search of snaps frequently
get Their fingers pinched. Many
people who are up on etiquette
haven't the faintest idea of good
manners"
A man sweats-it is the imita-
ton that perspires.
It's not so bad to be a good mix
EFF the booze hounds don't get

Coming from behind to win may
be all right but staying ahead is
far safer proposition.
Going the right way at the
wrong time is just as bad as going
the wrong way at any old time.
You call it mud-slinging and the
other fellow dubs it constructive
criticism. It's all in the point of
view.
Some men are known by the
company they keep; others are
known by the company that keeps
them.
A woman's waist-line moves up
and down at the decree of fashion.
That of man moves outward at the
decree Of appetite.
When a fellow makes a mash
these days it does not prove that
he has a little sweetheart. He may
have little still.
Many a man would achieve a
wonderful reputation if he would
only stay in one place long enough
for it to catch up with him.

The boy chased the calf until he was
