FIVE-DAY WEEK
FOR LABOR

AINTERS, attending the an
~ nual convention of the In
Indiana Federation of
Labor at Terre Haute, are dis
cussing a resolution favoring a
five-day work week for men Of
their craft,
Shorter hours and more money
are the twin goals of those en-
gagged in manual trades. Around
them have been fought the most
sanguinary labor battles of the
past century.
Much has been won. Workers in
English factories and mines a CEN
fury ago. toiled fourteen and six
teen hours a day for a pittance.
In America today the 44-hour-week
is common in industry. Here labor
tolls shorter hours for more money
than ever before in the history of
the world. And produces more.
Perhaps the five-day week is
practicable. Henry Ford believes
that by development of machinery

Blue Monday
By Hal Cochran

It's a sort Of feeling Of laziness
that makes every Monday seem blue.
You slip in the habit of laziness on
Sunday, with nothing to DO. The
spirit OF loaf kinda takes you and
leads all your vigor astray. 1t gets
In the blood and it makes you wish
Monday were farther away.
TITS queer how it's hard 10 get
started and build up the spirit that's
right. On Monday you pick up, half
hearted, where you left Off on Sat
urday night. The trip through the
morning is rougher and harder for
work-a-day use. The task you must
tackle Is tougher till you've shaken
all loaf1ng thoughts loose.
You're back at your work, after
dining, and things seem to get on
their way. You're foolish, you find.
to be whining. so you plug till the
end Of the day. When Tuesday ar.
rives you are buried with the work
that OF Monday went sunk. And
thus, the big task that is carried
proves that Blue Mondays really

that Mrs. Culp deserves a little swat

How often should an automobile
be washed with soap and water7
What is the best method of clear
ing an automobile?
First use the hose on the body OF
the car. but with water running
gently. Next with sponge and
bucket. and a good grade of auto
mobile soap, sponge off the car with
soapsuds. rubbing the surface very
gently with the sponge. Next
sponge off with clean clear water.
Lastly wipe off with channels skin.
The best opinion is that washing
with soap and water should be done
very rarely. the practice Of washing
weekly tending TO injure the finish.
If the car is wiped off with soft
cheesecloth every few days, and
once a week polished with any good
commercial body polish. 1t should not
require washing very often, unless,
Of course, travel is over muddy or
very dusty roads.
What kind of q drink Is It that
is made from Kava root?
The "Kava" or Piper Methysticum
is one of the bushes Of the pepper
family that grows in tropical
countries. Except as cultivated
plants in greenhouses, they do not
grow in the United States. From
the root of the "Kava" a narcotic
drink is made that is prohibited by
the laws OF the United States.
What was the first state to legal
lie electrocution7
Electrocution was first legalized in
New York State in 1888.
Does the human body have any
magnetic effect on the rate Of
speed which a watch runs?
It is generally believed that the
human body has no magnetic effect
on the rate of a watch. The temper
allure of the body and the vibrations
due to walking do cause changes IN
the performance Of a watch. This is
especially true of wrist watches
which suffer many sudden shocks
and changes of position for the
delicate mechanism involved.

this play is very nearly actorproof.
