Sharp Challenge in Book Stirs
Interest
Because of it's sharp challenge to the
predominance of the European criti
cism of American labor, and because
of the wealth of material found in the
two volumes and from which Mr.
Walling draws his American interpre
tation of American labor, the book is
believed certain to arouse even more
than national interest. It is the most
emphatic rejoinder to the foreign
criticism and the American "high.
brow" criticism that hos come from
the pen of an American author.

AMERICAN LABOR

because the movement is somewhat
younger in this country and its poll
cies on some questions are only in the
process Of taking shape This is es-
pecially true of the overshadowing
question of the government of indus
try dealt with in the present (second)
volume. But that fact furnishes no
valid excuse for the uniformed Eu-
ropean view that American labor has
no policy on these underlying issues
The truth is only that this policy is

American Movement Economic
in Character
1t is Mr.. Walling's finding that "the
American labor movement always has
been and doubtless will remain, funda-
mentally economic in character
Prof. John R. Commons, noted econ
omist, of Wisconsin University, writes
the editors introduction, paying high
tribute to the book and to the author
"This book" says Prof. Commons
''is as nearly an authoritative state
ment of the principles and policies OF
the American organized labor move
ment of the past forty years as any
statement that could be issued by any
person not an active official or work
ing member Of an American union
The real American labor movement
its historic and worldwide signif
canoe, its thinking, its aims, the direc-
tion of it's growth, are, obviously, not
to be understood without direct ac-
quaintance with the leaders and their
purposes. Mr.. Walling has had this
opportunity to an exceptional degree
for more than two decades-but es-
pecially during the period of which
he writes. He was associated with
organized labor during the war, and
he accompanied the American labor
delegation to Europe at the personal
invitation of President Gompers dur
ing the peace negotiations and later
for the foundation meeting of the
international Federation Of Trade
Unions. He afterward collaborated
with Mr.. Gompers in book and has

.FAVORITE JEWELS
 OF SCREEN STARS
Wedding Ring Is Claire Wind.
 Sor'S Most Popular Piece

Culver City, Cal, July 30 P- Most every woman has one piece of jewelry that is her favorite and mo- ton picture stars and players are not exceptions. As a rule, the fav- ored jewel will be seen in every picture in which the actress appears. Pauline Stark, Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer player, has as her choice an interesting pendent of Lalique and in the center is a tiny dancing figure of onyx. Tiny diamonds encircle this figure, being set in the Lalique. This is worn on black satin rib bon.
 Carmel Myers seldom is seen with out her crown. This is worn at the throat instead of on the head. It is a miniature crown made into pin and is an interesting antique that she brought back from Rome. This crown is Of old gold and in each point a tiny pearl is fastened.
 Claire Windsor's wedding ring is her favorite piece of jewelry. h. stead of the regulation platinum band Miss Windsor wears a tiny chain around her finger. The links of this chain are platinum and are set with diamonds.
 None of these pieces is remark ably elaborate. Their appeal lies in the fact that they are unique.

NEBRASKA CREEK
 BEING EXPLORED
Findings May Throw New Light
 on History

Monroe, Neb.. July S0 Pl-New hght Is expected to be thrown on early history of the west through excavations being made in the corn fields along Looking Glass creek north of here by E. E. Blackman, curator of the Nebraska State His torical society.
 The curator expects to discover relics and evidence which will es- tablish the site of the massacre by Indians in 1720 of a Spanish cara van under the command of Colonel Nillasur. The massacre. which long has been matter Of dispute among historians of the west. marked the halt of Spanish conquests to the north during the eighteenth century.
 Recently discovered documents, located in Spain an France by A .. B. Thomas of the University of Cal ifornia, and the discovery of bits of chain armor and ancient coins re- suited in the present search for con- crete evidence to establish the ex- act location of the massacre. .
 Colonel Don Pedro de Nilasur was despatched from Santa Fe to conduct a reconnaissance of the French along the Missouri.
 In August. 172O. the caravan came upon the Pawnees. The Spanish cavaliers were received with friend ly greetings by the Indians and an interpreter was sent to barley with the savages. For two days, Nillasur waited fruitlessly for reply. Fearing treachery he decided to retreat and retraced days journey Awhere camp was made for the night.
 The break of dawn the following day found the Spaniards astir mak- ing ready to continue southward. Suddenly in the confusion of break ing camp the party was swept by q murderous fire of shot and arrows. Colonel Villasur and virtually his entire party were slain before a de- fense could be organized.

EFFECTS ARE WHAT
 MOVIES WANT NOW
Strive for This Rather Than
 Color

Hollywood. Cal, July 30 P)- Color cartoons instead of screens may eventually be adopted by film cameramen in obtaining color ef- fects on motion pictures.
 Victor Milner. Paramount pho- tographer. declares numerous ex- periments by cameramen in photo graphing color in black and white will likely result in color photogra phy being placed in a new light. The present trouble is that it records the vivid colors too brightly.
 Making Rcd Appear White
 Photographers previously have obtained different effects by using colored screens over their lenses which cut out various rays. Ultra violet screens eliminate ultraviolet rays. and so on. A red filter over the lens made red dress appear white, for the screens rejects all red rays on the film.
 This system, while satisfactory for some colors, has not been wholly SI1SAllNC III olIICIo. Y OI lllSlClIlNb III photogra phing fine red and yellow tones. the values of violet, ultra violet and blue must be subdued and 9 satisfactory screen for this pur- pose is difficult to obtain.
 New Shadings Possible
 Tt may be possible" Miner says, Ito rearrange the composition of carbon to heighten the red values in the light itself, without increasing the value of the violets and ultra violets approximately. If this is ac- complished, we may be able to ob- tain hundred new shadings and tones in photography.
 Tn order to get more effects from red and yellow, we have to use much more light, with resultant increase fin the rapidly photographic violet and ultraviolet. We have found that the light values below the yio- let and ultraviolet fail, when photo graphed, disproportionately as they reach the other end of the spectrum. Our experiments are in an effort to rectify this without the use of screens"
 Every color in the spectrum, he says, has a different shade when photographed in black and white The colors at one end of the spec trum photograph very light and hence require much less exposure to register on camera film. Violet is next and then blue. From there the shades of green darken rapidly until the colors become almost non- photographic.

tances?
 A. They are trained when young by being conveyed, short distances, few miles from home and then turned loose; the distance is gradu- ally increased until the pigeon can be made to return accurately and swiftly from 500 to 500 miles. Carrier pigeons must be brought from their homes a short time (not exceeding a fortnight) before they are set free and at a time when they have young in their nests. The impulse of the bird is to return to the family with utmost haste.
 Q. How did Mary Brain get into the movies?
 A. She was born at Corsicana. Texas, February IT, 1906, where she spent her childhood on her uncle's ranch. She wanted to become an illustrator, so her mother took her to Los Angeles. There. she won a beauty contest and appeared on the stage of Grauman's Metropolitan tllSatSi' where she was seen by Herbert Brenton who was directing 'Peter Pan" He immediately chose her for "Wendy" in his production.
 Q. What is the meaning of the title of Bryant's poem "Thana- topsis"?
 A. IL is from two Greek words "thanatos' meaning death and "opsis' meaning sight; hence "a view of death" which is the theme of the poem.
 Q. Are passports required for travel in Mexico?
 A. No, but 1t is necessary to have a certificate of identity. A certified copy of birth certificate or a copy of ones citizenship papers will serve the purpose.

l52 GOLF COURSES NEAR WINDY CITY
Thousands Are Enabled t

Chicago, July 30. R)-Golf courses around Chicago grow up faster than statistics can be compiled, but there are now 152 made or in the mak- ing, with work on the last two started in the Cook County forest preserves.
 Four such forest links are now open and one of them accommo- dated 734 players one fine Sunday in June. The two new ones will make thirty-fye public fee courses around the city, The county boards plan for building them in the fee class is to remove the cost from the taxpayer. while the players pay very little. When the fees have repaid the builders for their expen- allure, the forest courses are turned over to the county board.
 Golf enthusiasts boast that Chi cago has five per cent of all the links in the county, and ten per cent of the players, largely because of the great number open to the public at nominal charge.
 We could have thirty-five more public fee courses around the city and still have congestion on all of them,' said Prof. Leon G. Kranz of Northwestern University, who de- veloped last years Big Ten cham pion golf team.
 "The public courses take care of an estimated 100000 persons in Chicago. From q practical stand point, it is money well spent for a club to develop an excellent links and make it attractive, because realtors will swarm down on them and make tempting offers for it as a subdivision"
