HOW TO EAT
ASPARAGUS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckmar

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN.
~ What is the correct way to
eat asparagus when the whole
stalks are served?
2. This stationery, believe, Is
in good taste, but would you con-
slider it too conservative for a
young matron? G. A. ID.
A SPARAGUS should be eaten
"A with a fork. The edible part
Is eaten as are all fork foods,
and the rest of the stalk is left
on the plate. 1t is much better
not to take asparagus in the fin
gers for this always gives an un-
tidy, unpleasant effect. And GER
tainly the innocent tender as
paragus stalks should not be sus-
pended in the air and dripped
perilously into the mouth.
2. Your letter paper is in good
taste, and one reason that it is, is
that it is conservative. Indeed.
think that, instead of being too
conservative, it might be of
more conservative shade-a lignt"r
shade 1t is a bit dark, I think.
but the shade is a very pleasant
one. Also it is better to have
an envelope with a more conven-
tionally-shaped flap. Your hand
writing is so unusually cookbook
ing that 1t deserves as beautiful
a frame as possible. The spac-
ing of your letter is very artistic.
1t is best not to use any abhrevia-
tions on the envelope or in The
heading Of the letter.

Solidarity Between

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-That
solidarity is in the hearts of the shoe
workers was verified when the work
ers OF the Premier Shoe Co. members
Of the American Union took the fol-
lowing collection in the various de-
partments Of their shop to help the
b. w. s. strikers of the Shoe Work
ers Protective Union; Lasters, $4,000;
Finishers, Cleaners and Packers,
$1,000; Heelers, $500; Cutters, $500
and Filters, $500.
These men and women who are now
in the sixteenth week OF the strike and
who have never left the picket line
for a day appreciate the comradeship
shown and declare that this is one
more link in welding the shoeworkers
OF Greater New York together as part
of one national industrial organiza-
ton.

Judge Lyle frankly took the
side of the garment bosses
stating he believed the union
men guilty.
Judge Lyle reluctantly granted a
change of venue, and it was necessary
to go before another judge-Harry
Fisher-on writ of habeas corpus, in
order to get Patsy De Rosa, one of
he strikers, out of jail on $4,000
bond. Lyle had refused to reduce the
prohibitive bail of S1O0,5OO which he
had set a week ago.
Lyle Railroads Workers.
"The Amalgamated represents mob
rule and violence" said Quillici to the
court, land the International Tailoring
Company represents law and order.
We are going to fight these people to
a finish and we are going to wipe them
out"
Judge Lyle showed that he is out to
help in the wild attempt to extermin-
ate the union when he said of the
striker De Rosa, in commenting on the
freeing of De Rosa on bail: 1T is I'M
fortunate for the people who were
slugged by De Rosa, and whose prop
erty was destroyed by the acid thrown
by De Rosa, but it is not my fault"
Judge Lyle runs his court on the
principle that the framed-up workers
are always guilty and that the en-
ployers are always on the side of law
and order. Lyle is attempting to be-
come the next states attorney as a
worthy successor to the labor hating

"They are smuggling, numbering, and

Lyle approved of this statement, as
he is using his job to protect the prof
it's of the bosses.
Lyle Broke Constitution.
In granting the reduction in bail so
that the striker might come out of
JAIL Judge Fisher said: This case
shows the danger of ignoring estab-
lished principles of law just to respond
to public clamor, or that which pur-
ports to be public clamor. Under our
constitution the right to give bail is
one of our sacred institutions. Were
the constitutional guarantee to bail
ignored regularly, we would have fire.

has been held in jail for ten days."
The bond reduction was granted
after William A. Guinea, attorney for
the strikers, had shown that De Rosa
was being prosecuted by the Interna-

cause he went on strike, that he was
the victim Of frameup, that he was
only Fl years old, and that he had

diverted and the purposes of the mem
bership remain frustrated The situa-
ton has become so serious that not
withstanding constantly increasing
revenue, the funds apparently available
for financing the economic functioning
of our international organization are
nearly always so insignificant that a
thought forward suggests apprehen-
sion rather than assurance. To rem
edy this condition by again increasing
the revenue of the international union
seems just as impossible in the future
as it has been in the past, There can
be no remedy except by the faithful
application Of moneys paid in by the
membership for given purposes to
those purposes by the board or direct
ors. The past record affords the mem
bership no assurance that the board
of directors has any intention of keep
ing the faith.
Impaired Unions Efficiency.
"To the contrary, their unconstitu-
tional and indefensible acts, which
have amounted to so many breaches
of trust, have impaired the economic
efficiency Of the organization and the
value Of its institutions to such an
extent that this conference, represent
ing, as it does, a majority of the mem
hership Of the International union
deems it desirable and necessary at
this time, in protection of the inter
ests of the membership of the inter
national union, that steps be taken for
a thoro investigation Of the admins
tration, affairs and properties of the
international union.
Therefore be it resolved, that this
conference create a committee of five
s members for this purpose, and that
this committee shall have full power
to determine and to carry into execu-
ton plan of action best calculated
TO protect the interests of the interna-
tional union, and to employ such legal
assistance as may be necessary in the

1T is highly important that we
have the correct address OF every

says, land those persons who have
changed their addresses since get
ting automobile tags should notify

Director. Eldridge said today he
believed there were hundreds OF
incorrect addresses in the files for
license tags.
IT am considering asking the
police department to check up ON
every applicant for a tag he said.
"In this way, we can prevent per
sons from giving false addresses"
Eldridge said 1t would be impos-
sible at this time to check up on
tags already issued, but indicated
some method would be adopted next
wear to prevent the use of false
addresses.
He pointed out that a person Civ
ing a false address is subject to
fine of not more than 500 under
the new code.
