LABOR PRESS BEST y
AS PUBLICITY MEDIUM
ON Child LABOR LAW

BY international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Many sub
iects were discussed ct the eighteenth
annual meeting Of the American As
ISOLATION for Labor Legislation, re-
Gently in session at the Congress
Hotel, this city, but the outstanding
feature Of the discussions was the
proposed Child Labor Amendment to
the Federal Constitution and the diff
ficulty Of getting educational matter
on the subject to the public.
It was asserted that the opponents
Of the amendment have been able to
control the press, the pulpit and other
agencies Of public information in
States where the issue has been join
ed, Massachusetts, being pointed out
as glazing example.
Listening to the various speakers
on the subject of propaganda Meth
DDS Of the Opposition" the hearer
was forced to the conclusion that
there was only one absolutely sure
way of getting the message across
to the public, and that was through
the medium of the bona fde labor
press.
Speaker after speaker pointed out
that the big financial interests Of the
country have been able to shut off
favorable publicity on the Child La
Dor Amendment through the daily
press, and as indicating that this Is a
true statement the daily papers of
Chicago were silent as to the subjects
discussed at this meeting. Only
perfunctory notices that the associa-
tion was in session was published

WANT LOWER BREAD COSTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Private
bread consumers in the District Of
Columbia are paying 9 cents Loaf,
while the same grade of bread is
sold to the navy department for $3.50
cents, said Congressman Brand Of
Ohio in support Of his standard bread
bill.
He said this legislation concerns
the largest single food item in the
United Gtates and that the public is
not projected in its bread supply.
He discussed in detail the bread
supply OF the army and navy, en-
phasizing the cost to the federal gov
eminent on this one item, "An enor-
nous profit in bread making has been
made the last four years. he said.

Lilies.

Looking over the list of Summer
blooming bulbs. it was hard to decide
which to plant first-lilies or gladfoii,
especially as l knew that Mr.. Bur
bank had made extensive experiments
with both, but finally lilies were
chosen. First, asked him about their
practical planting and culture before
going on to more interesting details:
Lilies" said Mr. Burbank, require
light, fertile soil, just as bulbs do in
general, also well drained, and each
bulb planted in sand with no manure
touching the bulb.
1T is usually best to cover the bulbs
about 4 inches deep with the exception
of the Lilium auratum, which should
be planted from to IL inches deep.
S in this species new bulbs form over
the old one and soon bring bulbs to
the surface. And here l must remind
the grower that lilies are frequently
lost if left too long in the same place.
THE base of the bulb is attacked by
underground insects which, if'left un-
disturbed year after year, increase I'M
til they destroy the bulb. The remedy
is to dig the bulbs and REMOVE them to
another location, where the soil has
been sterilized by baking or by the use
of germicides.
Us it not best to plant nearly all
the bulbs in the Autumn
Yes" said Mr.. Burbank, most of
them should be planted then, and
Lilium candidum and testaceum even
late in the Summer but we may still
plant the bulbs of Lilium auratum, l..
elegans, L. henryii, L. speciosum, l..
tigrinum, l.. superbum and others"
PLENTY to make a fine show this
Summer" / thought, 'and l must
learn the names by heart so I may
give them their proper titles"
Mr.. Burbank here proceeded to give
a bit of technical instruction as to
names. 1t was something like learn
ing a new language or the vocabulary
of musical terms!
THE first name of a plant of any
kind is the Latin name for the genus
or family to which it belongs, while
the second name is the name of the
species or kind; as. for instance, Lilium
speciosum, meaning the SNOWY"
species of the lily family. If a third
name is added. as album or rubrum, it
denotes a variety of the species, in
this case white or red"
On reflection it seemed quite right
and proper that flowers and treess
should be called by their own family
and first names, in spite of the fact
that some If the everyday names have
become plea sanity familiar, as Easter
lily, madonna or annunciation lily,
gold banded lily of Japan, tiger lily,
etc.
Several of our most beautiful lilies"
continued Mr. Burbank, came from
China and Japan as the Lilium speci-
osum, l.. regale, il auratum (the gold.
banded liIyCsaJid l.. hanson. These
and the others on our list will be in

Asparagus With Sauce.

Choose some fresh asparagus, wash,
scrape off the white skin from the
lower end and cut the stalks even.
Put them in cold water for Is minutes.
Have ready a saucepan of boiling wa
ter and add two teaspoonsful of salt.
Tie the asparagus in bundles, put
them in boiling water, and boil gently
with the cover off the pan for about
80 minutes, or until the soft parts
are tender. 1t is best to use pan
with a drainer, on which the aspara-
gus is placed and easily lifted out
when cooked. If not, wrap the
bundles in a piece Of muslin to pre-
vent the danger of breaking off the
tips. Drain, unite the bundles. and
dish up on a piece Of toast. Serve
the following dressing: Dissolve a
little salt in two tablespoonful of
vinegar. Add one teaspoonful of mus
tard, a pinch of pepper and two
tablespoonsful of olive oil. Mix all
well together and serve separately.
