When Horace Fletcher
Scared Hungry Guests

Horace Fletcher, who ardently urged
everyone to live to extreme old age
by indefinite mastication, so that the
word "fletcheriZe" is now definitely
fixed in the English language, and who
himself died comparatively young,
once gave dinner to which he invited
a number of well-known men at Yale,
including President Hadley, Professor
Lounsbury, Walter Camp and John
Hays Hammond.
Knowing his hobby, the guests nat
urally wondered what they would get
to eat. At the appointed time they
were shown into a private room at
the Graduates club in New Haven,
where they were not surprised to find
the table set with the severest sim.
plicity. Instead Of china, white crock.
cry was used and the chief table dec.
,orations were three large crockery
pitchers filled with ice water. At each
place was a crockery saucer contain.
ing shredded wheat biscuit.
The guests sighed. Their worst ap-
prehensions were being confirmed, but
just as they had sadly taken their
places the head waiter came to the
door and announced that by mistake
they had been shown into the wrong
room. Then Mr.. Fletcher appeared,
and, with an inimitable twinkle In his
eye, led his guests into another pri-
vate dining room, where most stump.
tuous repast had been provided.

British Museum Mail
Yields Rare Articles

The mail man with the most inter.
esting route in the world Is the one
who drops his bag at the British mu'
scum each morning. And the con-
tents of that bag make far and away
the most extraordinary postal delivery
received by anyone in England.
Each delivery is veritable grabbas
In curios. Gems, stones, arrowheads,
old books, rubbish, shells, bits Of
leather, fossils, postage stamps, live
animals, stomachs picked in alcohol.
coins, butterflies, weapons, bones
this is the sort of ragbag collection
which the museum officials discover
with almost grotesque excitement
upon opening the mail in the morning.
Though there is seldom anything OF
decided value, the mass Of stuff Is
always sorted out and weeded care
fully for any rare and valuable curio.
Most Of the senders expect no &C.
Acknowledgement or reward-in fact,
there Is no return address on many
of the parcels. Evidently they do 1t

largely deserted on Saturday
No pressure of any kind has been
eXerted to achieve this reform except
the force of custom. There is no
one to buy, no one who wishes service,
SO the trades affected might as well
close up. This tendency is bound to
grow The first to join this shorter
work movement will be the building
trades. These mechanics, being in ad-
vance of the workers on other mat
ters, can not be expected to go to
work when everyone else seems pleas
ure bent. Furthermore, to start up
for only four hours on Saturday is un-
economical. Many workers spend two
hours travelling to put in the four at
work and SO feel it not worth the
while.
In foreign cities, especially in
Paris, the commercial life stops dead
for two days week, Sunday and
Monday. Saturdays are the busiest,
contrary to American custom. The
peoples habits in this matter of the
five-day week especially in summer
will prove governing factor. The
prediction is that by 1880 the United
States will see great segments of in
dustry on the five-day week.

New York City-The greatest fac
tor in bringing the five-day week is
custom. During the summer months
business of this great city largely
shuts down on Saturdays. Depart
ment stores, offices with hundreds of
thousands of clerical workers, simply
shut up shop. The result is the five
day week and two days off for a great
mass of workers.
This movement has not yet affected
any large section of industrial work
ers except the garment trades. Only
in the busy season do they work on
Saturdays. Usually the worker and
his family can be found at a resort
over the week end not SO very far
from where his employer may be en-
joying his two days leisure.
This custom is bound to grow and
eventually it will be taken as natural
for everyone to take train or automo-
bile and escape from the city for Sat-
urdays and Sundays at least three
months of the warmer weather. Many
printing establishments close and
some sugar refneries, railroad shops,
all the retail stores, law offices, archi-
tects. The entire downtown area is

they continue to pour in, according to
officers of the company.
"These will have to be declined" !"

EMPLOYMENT LAGS
IN VEHICLES MOST

Washington.-Bot employment and
payroll totals were slightly over
per cent lower in January of this year
than in January, 1926, according to
the bureau of labor statistics. In
ventory taking and repairs custom
arily slow down factories in January
and are accountable for part of the
decline, it is stated.
The most marked decrease was a
loss of third of the employees in
the carriage and wagon industry and
one-ffth in the automobile industry.
Other decreases were in agricultural
implements, stamped and enameled
ware, mill work. steam fittings, hard
ware, shirts and silk goods. The
leather, paper, chemical and miscel-
laneous groups showed marked i'm
provement, but all other groups were
in less satisfactory condition than
they were year ago, especially the
vehicle and tobacco groups.

BARRIERS AND BOSSES
Join Efforts to Get Model
License Law

By International Labor News Service
Chicago.-The organized journey

Illinois have joined hands to persuade
the present session of the general as
sembly to enact the model barber IL
cense law agreed upon by the general
executive boards of the Journeymen
BARRIERS international Master Bar
bers of America and the Associated
Master BARRIERS of America at joint
meeting held in Chicago last July.
The movement is nation wide in char
acter and the bill as drafted by Off
GERS of the two international bodies
has been introduced in various state
legislatures.
The bill provides for the establish
ment of board of barber examiners
of three members appointed by the
governor. Each member must be a
practical barber who has followed the
occupation of barber in the state for
at leaSG HVe years HHueuldteiy pIioI
to his appointment.
Under the terms of the bill no one
can be licensed as barber unless he
is at least 18 years of age and served
an apprenticeship of 1S months. Fail
ing to pass satisfactory examina-
tion, the applicant would have to
serve an additional six months ap-
premiership.
An applicant for registration as an
apprentice would have to be at least
16k years old and possess diploma
showing graduation from an eighth
grade grammar school or it's equiva-

CHINESE
Want the Right to Run
Their Own Affairs

Washington.-The Chinese people
will continue their agitation for in
dependence as a nation and the right
to pass and enforce their own laws
said Sao-ke Alfred SEE, Chinese minis
ter, at luncheon address in this city
The diplomat said that the Chinese
have status below British domin-
ions.
"Great Britain allows full tariff au-
tonomy to her dominions, but the
world powers deprive China of tariff
autonomy" he said.
"How would you Americans feel if
the foreign nations imposed upon you
their own fiscal policy, inferior even
to Britain's dominions, depriving you
of the right of raising revenues ac-
cording to your own judgment and
needs? Furthermore, how would you
feel if the various foreign settlements
in your large cities would claim ar
almost independent status, with their
own laws, courts and police?"
The speaker asserted that the Chi
nese will not be satisfied with assur-
ances in the form of high-sounding
and pious declarations "as the powers
have been doing since the beginning
of this century"

ed upon Chinas sovereignty, which

Red Strength at Lowest Ebb
With the worst stage of destruction
passed and the two most harassed
unions rescued from the union wreck
ers, the first authoritive estimate of
the number of communists in Amer
lea has been made by James O'Neal
editor of the New Leader. At the
height of the movement in 1919 they
numbered $4,000, but have dwindled
now to between 5000 and 1000 and
are at their lowest ebb, he estimates.
These nuclei, however, have vented
their impotent rage upon the unions
in which they obtained foothold
The effort of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union to
recover its locals and properties has
involved the international Union
Bank, one of the largest labor banks
in America. The defunct Cloakmak-
ers' joint board and three of the ex-
PEELED locals borrowed $3S9,000 on
four buildings they own and 1000
shares of the $500 shares of the
banks capital stock. The bank has
brought three actions to obtain pay
ment of either interest or principal
on promissory notes now overdue two
months. The collateral deposited as
security has been transferred to safe
guard the assets while the suits are
waged in court.
Hold Large Building

turn over their other property to the
international and their Red guards are
holding the joint board headquarters,
