When the National Air Races were
held at Philadelphia recently, Bell
telephone equipment played large
part in supplying an element OF
safety and accuracy to the contests.
In addition to making possible in
stantaneous cheekings on the flying,
telephone installations gave immedi-
ate communication in the event of
mishaps, and the simplifying appara-
tus permitted everyone on the field to
learn what was taking place.
All the latest known developments
of aeronautical engineering were dis
played, and the art of Bell telephone
engineers was also brought into very
prominent notice through the aid
which the various installations gave
to the conductors of the meet. A
telephone was installed at the home
pylon"-the big tower ON Model
Farms Flying Field, near Philadel-
phia, marking one corner of the IL
mile triangular cOurse-and connect
ed with it were similar telephones In
the other two pylons used during the
races. One of these was located at
Paulsboro, N. j., across the Della
ware River from Model Farms, and
the other stood at Woodbury., N. j.
Still fourth installation was made
at the timers stand, near the home
pylon, so that all four places could
be in continuous communication with
each other. These installations Were
made to check the planes as they
went around the course during the
races. Although they we're not USED
to record the times Of the ships, they
were invaluable in making sure tina
each contestant was progressing We
and also to report any cases of forcet

Remember the Animals
When Christmas Comes

n ND let us, especially at Christmas,
remember that animals are
worthy of numbering among our
friends and companions, since they
were the companions OF the Christ
child in the lowly stable ut Bethlehem.
Because they are our friends, we
must do all we can to make them
happy. This we can do at all times,
and at such special season OF
gladness let us share with them our
Joy and happiness. You know how
dog, for instance, can show his
happiness and can express his graf
Itude for kindly attention, and also
how, alas, too often, he shows his
fear of bad treatment They can also
feel pleasure, and II is only right
lust as we hate giving pain to our hui
man friends-that we should avoid
anything which may hurt our animal
companions.
Let every living thing, II possible,
share In the Joys of Christmas DO
something to make 1t happy time
at least, for every living thing with
which you can have anything to do.
And by so doing we can all try to
make 1t season of real loving-kind
ness to one and all. Let us be de-
terrnlned that every living being with
whom we have anything to do-our
because of what we-you and have
been able to do for them. You re-
member that Jesus said, 'Inasmuch as
We have done 1t unto one OF the least

Railroads Speed Up

New York, Dec. 2s.--when the
railroad brotherhoods were urging
the eight-hour day that resulted In
the Adamson law, these workers in
sisted that II railroad freight were
speeded up. instead Of being side
tracked on switches and in yards, the
railroads and business would profit by
the shorter wofkday.
This claim was not answered at the
time, but since then the railroads have
acted on the suggestion. In a recent
speech at Worcester. Mass, T. +.
joyce. an official of the Boston a.
Maine railroad, said that that railroad
has increased It's net ton miles a day.

and from 27J 10 305 net ton miles per
car day over like period last year.

Tom, the hero in "Labor's Reward
was a union man. He was such a
strong union man he believed like
many others that there was no one
that had such respect for organized
labor and the benefits to be derived
from it. But he had a lesson to learn.
A lesson that would show many more
benefits could be gained through or
ganized labor than merely the fact
Of belonging to a union.
He was to learn that not only must
a union man uphold the principles Of
his individual union and craft but he
tanning wages, hours and working con-
ditions in their respective crafts.
One day Tom dropped into a hat
store in Chicago and purchased hat.
As he left the store he met a friend
Of whom he asked:
What do you think of my hat ?"
The friend took the hat, turned it
upside down, raised the band, appar-
emily looking for something that
should be under it. Finally he handed
the hat back to Tom and said:
Tom, don't you know that for
every dollar you spend for non-union
goods like this you are contributing TO
child labor, underpaid workers, long
hours and unsanitary conditions
Why you are even hurting your Mary
and her little sister"
Tom was staggered. He walked up
and down the street thinking over
what he had been told. He rushed
back into the store where he had pur-
chased the hat and obtained the return
of his money. He then went into the
Union Label Store at 435 South Dear
born Street and purchased hat with
the label of the United Hatters of
America sewed to the lining. When
he visited Mary that night he proudly
exhibited his union-made hat.
But he did not let it end there.
Later Tom was appointed General
Organizer for the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Every noon hour
while eating his lunch he would gath
er his fellow employees about him and
eXtol the union label and what 1t stood
for.
Boys" said he, Don't you know
or haven't you given 1t any thought
that you must insist that every dollar
you or your wives and families spend
should be for union made and union
labelled goods. Every dollar you
spend for union goods helps you. 1t
increases your power. did not realize
this until just lately and now even the
loaf of bread from which this sand
wich was made bore a union label and
the meat was bought from a union
butcher. | insist that every article OF
clothing | wear must have a union
label My shoes must be union made
If buy a cigar it must be from a box
bearing the union label. And SO it Is
that everything we buy including
amusements as we'll as the necessities
Of life. The union label is the best
thing to go by when you go to buy.
Demand the union label"
Another day Tom continued along
tie same line.
We must stop buying non-unior
goods. We are responsible for many
ef the poor conditions and unorganlzed
factories" he said.

one of every four women is worker,
