General Public
Misunderstands
A. F. of L. Work

There is much public misunder-
standing of the nature, scope and
functions Of the American Federation
of Labor, which all good union men
ought to be prepared to help correct
at every opportunity.
The American Federation Of Lab
or is not a union" in the accepted
sense-it is federation of unions.
1t has no power other than that
given to it by affiliated national and
international unions. These affiliates
retain control Of their international
affairs. They are sole judge of their
wage scales, working conditions, ETC.
Each has undisputed power to adjust
industrial disputes in their respective
Jurisdictions and they are protected
from invasion by rival organizations.
These national and international
unions are the base of the American
Federation of Labor
State and city central bodies, COM
posed of representatives of local af-
flllates of national and international
unions, are also affiliated to the A.
f. of L., as are local unions in trades
and callings where no national union
exists.
The A. F. of L. binds this family
OF trade unions into a voluntary fed
Grafton.
1T depends on agitation, education
and organization to develop new So
cial viewpoints.
1T maintains inter-communication
between affiliates, and is in constant
correspondence with a corps of or
ganlzers throughout the country.
1t guards the workers interests in
the national Congress. 1t indorses
and protests in the name of labor. 1t
has secured relief from burdensome
laws and governmental bureaucracy.
Annually it assemblies the wage
earners in convention to exchange
ideas and methods, to promote NUT
ual interests, to develop greater So
lldarity, to proclaim the workers
burdens, aims and hopes.
1t asks-yea, demands-the CO.
operation of all wage workers who
accept the principle of unity, who be-
lleve there is something better in life
than long hours, low wages, unem-
ployment and all that these imply.
The trade unions reflect, in organ
lied form, the best thought, activity
and hopes of the wage workers.
The trade unions represent the ag-
gregate expression of discomfort of
labor with existing economic, social
and political misrule.
The trade unions are exactly what
the wage workers are, and can be
made exactly what wage workers
may please to make them-active or
sluggish; keen or dull, narrow or
broad gauged-just as the members
are intellectual or otherwise. But,
represent as they may either of these
alternatives, the trade union has prov
eli to be the best protector of the
workers interests.
The trade union is factor in all
social movements. 1t raises living
standards and checks wage reductions.
1t promotes fraternity and fosters
temperance and liberality.
Above all, the trade union is an
educational force. It's democracy is
its distinctive characteristic. It ig-
nores sectionalism. 1t knows no
creed, sex or race.
The trade union invites all wage
workers to unite for their protection
and advancement.

Buckles and Ornaments
for Low-Cut Footwear

The popularity of the colonial and
other styles of low-cut shoe has sug-
gested to designers new and beautiful
buckles and ornaments. Cut steel is
still much worn. and many novelties
are shown in bronze and gilt, made in
shades to match shoes and stockings
Others of bright colors form sharp
contrast. A center of scarlet glace kid
framed in cut steel is designed for a
pump of black leather. One, large
and square, for shoe Of pale yellow
doeskin, is of yellow enamel with rim
Of silver.
An oval buckle of artistically fash
Toned dull gilt has an outer line of YER
million. The center Is of gold-colored
silk finely plated. Another, circle
of bronze-colored metal, has center
of gilt kid, and this unique and alto
gether ornamental buckle is made in
several attractive variants.
Enamel buckles are new and exceed
ingly stylish. Some of these are of
shiny gold or silver kid, and in the
newest models the buckle, ornament
or button is added at one side of the
shoe.

Fancy, for instance the handsome

white this season testifies to the i'm

color or black, the latter idea featured
in the case of the model illustrated,
through an embroidered border effect.
The newer white sweaters are knit

either the V-neckline. as this picture

made with tunics and scant knickers

Fine Wool Scarfs Used
for Various Occasions

One of the many types of scarf in
use is of shetland or mohair lace.
These two varieties are very similar,
there being very slight difference in
texture between them. Both of these
easily pass the old-fashioned test of
slipping through ring, in spite of
their deceptive wide spread. Their
fine texture makes them very desir-
able for many occasions, whether for
wearing with coat or over a light
summer dress, which can find its
matching color note or contrast in one
of the many lovely pastel shades in
which these. shawls are developed.

made of two or three layers of cheese
cloth and let the juice drain off. When
the flow stops, press the bag lightly
several times but do not squeeze 1t.
II fruit is scarce, boil the drained
fruit pomace again with half its
measure of water for eight or ten
minutes and drain off the juice as be
fore. This second extraction is like
ly to be fairly rich in pectin and
rather poor in flavor, but combined
with the first it makes jelly of salts
factory quality.
For each cupful Of fruit juice use
three-quarters of a cupful of sugar.
Too much sugar In proportion to
pectin may prevent jelly from "jell-
ing or make it sirupy, while too little
sugar to pectin may result in tough
jelly Of poor flavor. With most ber-
ries, however, unless the fruit is over
ripe, the happy medium is not difficult
to strike.
Flat-Bottomed Pan Useful.
For boiling down juice and sugar,
use large, flat-bottomed pan, so that
evaporation will be rapid, and stir I'M
til the sugar is dissolved. Then boil
rapidly until the mixture sheets"
from the spoon. Remove from the
fire at once and pour into low glasses
which have been washed and boiled
for twenty minutes.
Fill the glasses carefully and do
not allow any jelly to drip on the
inside edge near the rim. Cover with
a sheet Of paper or clean cloth
to protect from dust and let stand
until the jelly is firm. If the jelly
does not set firmly the first day, do not
be discouraged but cover it well and
put it in the sun for from three to
five days. Jelly that "sets" slowly Is
sometimes the best in texture.
After the jelly has set, but not I'M
til then, cover each glass with parafin,
hot but not smoking. Rotate the glass
while the paraffin hardens so that 1t
forms a high rim. Adjust the tin
tops Of the glasses. Label with kind
and date, and store in a cool, dry
place.

Except that gooseberries require a
sweeter strip than others, practically
all the summer berries may be canned
in the same way. This includes
bIackberries, blueberries, dewberries,
huckleberries, loganberries, blackber-
ries, and raspberries. The water-bath
method is satisfactory for all these
fruits The United States Department
of Agriculture gives the following gen.
eral directions for canning.

them in clean jars or cans. Fill the

Jumper Grows Longer
and May Reach Knees

And still they come, these little
three-piece frocks, each more delight
full than the one before and each re-
vealing some new and tricky detail
that lends 1t distinction and unmis-
taxable cachet.
In the later versions of this most
popular mode the jumper is noticeably
longer, in some instances reaching
well to the knees. Below this the skirt
is plated or cut to flare in circular
fashion. Frequently the skirt is in
contrast to the upper part and models
which feature a jumper of plain fiat

chine are unusually smart and attrac-
tive.
For midsummer country wear there
are fascinating frocks made of wash
silk in pIaided or striped designs. In
these the long jumper shows the
stripes running crosswise, while on
the skirt they are up and down.
Others reveal vertical arrangement
Of stripes on both jumper and skirts.

Flavor and texture are the two
chief points by which the home jelly
maker judges her success. Color and
sparkling clearness are also impol-
tant. They do not, however, count
for so much to the expert jelly
makers way of thinking as the de-
icious fresh fruit flavor by which
one can tell raspberry from currant
jelly with the eyes shut, and as the
tender quivering texture that the very
word "jelly' calls to mind.
Rules for Using Berries.
The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the following rules
for making jelly from raspberries,
blackberries, currants and other fruits
to insure good flavor and texture.
Use, If possible, half and half mix
ture of underripe and ripe fruit. The
underripe gives the best texture and
the ripe the best flavor. Therefore
such a combination is ideal. If over
ripe fruit must be used, adding one
tablespoon lemon juice to each cup Of
fruit juice just before it Is combined
with the sugar improves flavor. tex
ture, and clearness, particularly of
blackberry jelly.
Wash the fruit thoroughly but do
not let it soak, and be careful not to
break the tender skin.
= Prepare Small Quantity.
Make jelly from six to eight pounds
Of prepared fruit at a time. This
quantity Is easy to handle and can be
cooked quickly. The long cooking
necessary for large quantities tends
to destroy the fresh fruit flavor and
brilliant color. Crush some of the
fruit to start the flow Of juice and
boil it rapidly, stirring all the time,
for three to ten minutes, depending
on the condition of the fruit. Juice
for jelly making can be extracted
from all berries and many other
fruits without adding water, and
when done by this method has richer
flavor. Blackberries are an oexcep-
tion and seem to yield better and
more delicately favored jelly If ono
quarter to one-half cupful of water
