laying bricks on the flat surface of brick highway
This man. an Indian, former football player in Carlisle
School keeps smoothing the road ahead OF him. and

You hear good deal about union labor crmnally cutting
down the AMOUNT of days work Such men as James
Brown the lightning bricklayer made NECESSARY for
unions to fix maximum days work
In old days. when the unions feeble men like James
Brown called rushers hired to lay bricks They were
frequently paid and other men, fearful
of losing their jobs were compelled exhaust themselves
trying to keep up with them.
That necessitaed and JUSTIFIED the fixing of
day.
It important lay plenty of bricks important also to
protect men against exploitation of selfish employers

way many wormen, especially in Great Britain mJure
themselves by doing than fair days work for good

Noble and kind? Blah! No

that he's lazy and weak, but he's
unfair to the other person, the
one who does the crushing.
Any sort of tyranny is democrat

to stay with Jane over night and
you found she'd gone to that
queer Hunt girls house instead.
You didn't have anything particu-
lar against the Hunt girl. only
you'd heard things about her
mother. But to think that your
baby would LIE to you! After
all you'd done for her!
Why, there wasn't a better
dressed girl in school was there?
1t was pretty hard for you to do
It. too. Dad didn't earn very
much down at the shops. But
you couldn't let her do without
pretty things. Besides, 1t was a
big satisfaction to see the en-
vious stares the neighbors gave.
Particularly that catty Jones
woman across the street. You
couldn't help laughing the way
she looked when Claire came out
in that orchid taffeta dress. That
powder-blue satin was wonderful,
too. 1t didn't wear very well
cheap satin roughs up so. But
every girl Nm school envted Claire
that dress. And that beaded
georgette-my, there was class to
that! You hesitated a bit about
getting that dress-it did seem
pretty gay for school wear. BIZ
she begged so. you finally let
her have it.
Yes, you certainly didn't spare
money on Claire last year. And
yet, in spite of it all, she treated
you and Did like the mud under
her feet. Sassy, sneaky, wouldn't
do thing around the house
But didn't it ever occur to you,
Mother, that she treated YOU and
Dad that way just BECAUSE
you spent all that money on her?
Didn't you ever see any connec-
ton between beaded georgette
and powder blue satin and impu-
dent and lazy, dishonest ways
There is a connection. A big
one. YOU DRESSED HER FOR
A PART AND SHE ACTED 1T.
What part? The part of lazy,
arrogant, selfish, Wiltul parasite.
Every day Claire reads about
such parasites in the newspapers
or magazines, or sees them on
the screen. ThAy are the

Probably it feels that an easy

I've been hearing about Mr..
Worm and his wife. They're
approaching middle-age now. But
when they visited the parsonage
around the corner and got hooked
up, they were young and anbi-
tious. 1t looked as IL they'd be
happy, too.
But it was the large quantities
of idle time the "Missus" had on
her hands that caused trouble.
She spent most of it thinking
about herself. Then she get to
seeing herself as a unique figure.
She thought she was more deli

women.

attitude. The little CIaires have
always gazed wistfully upon the
Popular Heroine Of the day and
longed to emulate her. They did
it in 1926 as well as they do it
now-they probably did it in
100 B. C. BUT THEIR
MOTHERS DIDN'T HELP THEM
REALIZE THEIR AMBITIONS.
Clothes weren't cheap, ready
made and flashy before the
'ready-made" era dawned. The
Claires of the nineteenth century
went to high school in dark
wooden dresses or checked ging-

stockings, in homemade under
wear and natural skin and pig
tails. It wasn't a pretky cos

of the day and they had to stand
it. And it saved them and their
parents lot Of grief.
There's a streak of actor in
the human hulk. We play the
part we're dressed to play. We
take ourselves as well as others
at face value. If you dress girl
like a girl she's apt to act like
a girl. AND IF YOU DRESS
HER LIKE A FEMALE FUN
GUS SHE'LL STRUT HER
STUFF ACCORDINGLY.
That's what you did with Claire
last year, Mother. And she acted
just as you might have expected
her to act. You dressed her as il
she didn't belong to the family
and she behaved accordingly. Are
you going to repeat the mistake
this year?
A plain blue serge won't elini-
nate all the cussedness from
Claire or any other human. But
it may keep her in touch with
blue serge folks and homespun
manners and common stuff in
general Which will probably
make it easier for you, Dad and
the rest of the world to live with
her. Try it and sec.
