WASHINGTON, D. c., April a.
The records Of members of congress on

This information will be forwarded
to organized labor and sympathyzers
to al din forming their voting decision

All congressional districts are IN

sent into districts and states Of rep
resentatives and senator's who have
opposed legislation Of interest 10 wage
,arners and the people generally.
Preside1k Green has urged the
$4,000 local unions in the United
States as well as state and city cen
trail bodies, to appoint non-partisan
political campaign committees.
Ninety per cent Of these unions,
he said, have made favorable reply.
President Green reported on his
efforts in behalf of the Fitzgerald
compensation bill, now pending in con-
gress. This bill would establish state
controlled compensation in the District
of Columbia. Because Of its moral
effect, private insurance companies
throughout the country are urging
its defeat. They favor the Underwood
bill, which would permit them to ex-
ploit the injuries and deaths of the
workers.

The very apotheosis of Incidence
was depicted in that fugitive simile,
1as lazy as Joe the Marine, who laid
down his musket to sneeze."
Joe was surely the very opposite Of
those poor devils of whom it was said
.they labor like galley slaves" an ex-
treme of ardous and unending toll,
the rigors Of which il is difficult for
the modern mind to grasp.
To be sure Joe is given a close
race by Ludham's dog, which, Thomas
Fuller said, Teamed his head against
the wall to bark"
But the poor dog applied no intel
ligence, no thought process to the
business, while Joe, a biped, genus
Homo, was lazy IN a premeditated
calculated fashion.
With the dog, the act of sneezing
laziness may have been sheer accident
It may have been merely a case Of
abating muscular energy, not account
ed for by any process of the brain.
That is to say, the dog could not and
therefore did not reason out action
and consequently, cause and eject. It
is. doubtful on that account if his ac-
tion could properly be called lazy. It
may have been lacking in energy, but
laziness connotes something more than
mere lack of energy. There are, in
truth, no lazy animals. There are
merely those that move fast or slow,
e thatds net 1ao1le at .all.
When Joe the Marine laid down the
musket to sneeze-and, be it said, this
was in the pre-Chateau Thierry days
and very much so-he did so as the
result Of a thought process which con-
Inced him that less effort would be
consumed in the process of sneezing
or that mayhap more relief and salts
faction would be got from the sneeze,
if the musket were laid on the ground
than if it were held in the hand.
There is the further very plausible
possibility that Joe believed it safer to
first deposit the musket on the ground
and then nsneeze. He could the
sneeze freely, with abandon, and per-
haps even with eclat.
A musket in the hand at sneezing
time, he may have reasoned, is likely
to be discharged by the accidental con-
yulsive movement incident to the pro-
cess of sneezing.
If such was the case there was an
element Of prudence in Joe's action.
There are many who contend that
prudence is an essential part Of that
true Iaziness which is most complete,
most finished and thorough going If
that point be accepted 1t Is an addi-
tionaI proof that Joe's laziness was
the true laziness, while the lethargy
Of the dog was merely lack Of dy-
manic impulse

The musical program at the Palace

ing of Richard Barthelmess in "Just

the finest Of classical compositions as
an overture. Don Fclicc has perfected
n revised score of Gounod's Faust"
which he believes will add new pOpu-
larity to the number. This rcarransc-
ment permits of the featuring of some
of the more accomplished musicians OF
the Palace pit and consequently brings
out n new and novel form of harmony
which Felice believes will take well
with music lovers among the audience.
The feature film attraction affords
the Palace leader with greater oppor-
tunities for offering the unusual in
accompaniment than any of this sea-
sons releases and Don Felice has
taken the greatest advantage Of the
chance. There is remarkable mixture
of foreign and American atmosphere
that presents many novel musical cues
and Felice assures that the audience
will be treated TO an entirely new
series of instrumental numbers.
