morning were held here Sunday If
ternOOn at the family home on Black

the coast city followed an illness that
began about eight years ago when
she suffered an attack Of influenza.
Since then she had been in Indifferent
health, and had been forced to spend
part of her time in Arizona and
California. In February her condition
became so serious that she left, on
March 1, for Portland to place her
self under the care of a specialist.
Improvement was at first noticed,
but last Tuesday a change for the
worse came and she sank rapidly until
the end.
Besides her husband, Mrs. McCay
is survived by a son, Harold, who is
associated with his father in business
here; a daughter, Jean; her mother
Mrs. E. Frazier; a brother, w. A
Frazier, and a sister, Mrs. Emma

"From a state standpoint, market

Secret Banquets and Open Attacks

TN hundred different and devious
L ways the federation of British in
dustries and the government are con-
tinuing their attack upon the trade
unions.
The capitalists and their press, with
the aid Of the right wing, are doing
their utmost to destroy the prestige
of well-lxnown left wingers, and, at
the same time, to praise those leaders
who called off the general strike. This
is being done so that the general
council may achieve a reactionary tri-
umph over the miners leaders at the
Forthcoming conference of trade union
executives on January 20.
The government and the mine own
ers are deeply interested in helping
the general council to whitewash
themselves at this conference. A
triumph for the general council win
mean a triumph for industrial
peace" and defeatist tactics in COM
ing struggles. 1t will mean the tenn
porary ascendancy of those leaders
who helped the government to defeat
the miners, and who, by their subsi-
died writings in the millionaire
press, are preparing the way for the
governments legislation against
trade unionism.

borne remember how the general
council saved the government and the

eral strike when the masses were
sweeping forward to victory. 1t is,
therefore, necessary for the govern

it that the general council score heav-
lily at the conference Of trade union
executives.
To attain this end Baldwin, Church
i'll and lord Wimborne- backed up by
the powerful millionaire press and the
federation of British industries-are
leaving no stone untu1ned TO attain

Every honest worker knows that
lord Wimborne, the mine owner, and
the members of the Baldwin govern

to see them happy.

In the Wake of the News

THE Cantonese may remember
Il the saying about Greeks bearing
gifts when Great Britain's represen-
tative offers them a compromise.
And what a magnanimous COM
promise! England is now willing to
allow the Chinese to run their own
country, but there are sure to be
some condition attached. Until re-
Gently the British adopted trucu-
lent attitude towards China. The idea
of the "heathen Chinese" being on
equal terms with Britain! But
force is a great convincer and now
England is ready to allow the Chi
reese a few rights in their own home.
THE armed power of Chinese mas
L ses led by Koumintang and SUPP
ported by propaganda has proved
mightier in bringing the long op-
pressed people of that country to
the threshold Of national deliver
ance than all the puny efforts of all
the pacifist well-wishers that ever
lived. The failure Of the robber i'm
perialists to agree among them
selves helped. The powerful aid of
the workers and peasants of the
Soviet Union was at least equally
effective. In all probability the Can
tonese viii have succeeded in unity
ing China by next summer. Then
there is certain to ensue another
struggle between the reactionary
Chinese who wish TO develop the
country into a capitalist exploiting
he'll and those who wish to begin
laying the groundwork for Work
ers' and Peasants government.
THERE is very interesting trial
L going on in London. The ashes of
The notorious hypocrite Gladstone
are being raked and the result is not
soothing to the nostrils of British
liberalism. Gladstone was the most
nauseating blue-nosed moralist in
England. He posed before the public
as paragon of virtue. He admitted
that he was a pillar of rectitude.
When at the height of his career
as liberal leader he was confronted
by his master in the person of
Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish
nationalist leader, Gladstone set
about 20 devise ways and means Of
running his political foe. He found
the means in the person of Kitty
O'Shea, the wife Of British army
officer.
wv HEN the news about Palnells
w relations with Mrs. O'Shea came
TO light, Gladstone, who posed as a
friend Of the Irish cause, turned his
eyes to heaven, beat his breast and
with bell, book and candlelight pro-
nounced the sentence of political ex-
communication on Parnell. An inn
moral man was not fit to associate
with the purified statesmen of Great
Britain! The catholic clergy. those
vultures who are ever ready TO
plunge their beaks into militant
fighter against the ruling classes,
sided with Gladstone. SO did the

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

This is the tale Of two babies. Per-
haps it will open the eyes of some
puzzled mother and show her what is
wrong with her baby.
The first is a fat and healthy boy.
He nurses every three hours during
the daytime, and nurses well and long.
He is making a fine gain; In fact, far
better than average. But he whines
all day.
He belches and grunts and sleeps
only fitfully--in fact, but two or three
hours out of the whole day-and as
he is only 8 months old, he should
sleep at least five or six.
But he sleeps all night; in fact. he
has to be Weakened for a o'clock feed
ing. and If left alone would go all
night without grunt. Why doesn't
he sleep in the daytime, and why does
hessleep SO well at night? The answer
is simple-he is overfed, and therefore
so uncomfortable in the daytime that
he can't sleep. AT night he gets no
food from 6 until 10 o'clock. After
that he sleeps and sleeps, for having
been given a four-hour rest his stom-
ach is agreeable and he doesn't want
anything more to eat. He is content
to sleep.
The answer to the daytime sleeping
problem is to give the child fewer
feelings, and thus keep him as COM
Portable in the daytime as he is at
night.
The second baby is also 8 months
old. He Is not gaining as wen as the
first; in fact, a two-ounce gain one
week, none the next and four the
week after is about his rate of adj
vance. He sleeps fairly we'll in the
daytime, being nursed once every
three hours, but he is awake from
his last feeding at night at o'clock
until the next feeding at 10 o'clock
and then wakens frequently during
the night. His mother has no idea
why he should sleep so well in the
daytime and SO poorly at night.
The answer to this is the opposite
of the other baby. This baby is poorly
nourished. When he is fed every
three hours during the day he is quite
comfortable and sleeps, but his last
feeding at night. at which time his
mother is tired and has little milk is
so inadequate that the poor child pulls
and tugs and twists and cries because
he is getting little or nothing. When
he is put down to steep he is so empty
that he wakens and cries for hours
afterward; in fact, not until 10 O'Clock
when there is sufficient for him TO
nurse, is he content to go to sleep
This baby should have Complementary
feelings after each nursing, so that
he will be so well satisfied with his
DAYTIME rations that he can get
through the night with but one or at
most two feedinEs.

Poplars.


The silver poplars are among the
first of trees to bloom, and Washing
ton, being an old city, has no street
without at least few of this alluring
tree that may Justly be called old fash
Toned.
No modern landscape architect will
allow you to have silver poplars.
There are some good reasons for this.
because their limbs are weak and split
with every high wind; the cotton that
flies when the female flowers are seed
ing is often a nuisance, and the roots
are such thirsty things that in search
of water they will break into water
pipes and clog them up. If a poplar be
cut down it will send UP thousand
suckers all over your lawn.
But poplar judiciously planted is
lovely tree, and part of the prejudice
against it by many landscape designers
arises from a failure to appreciate it's
beauty and from lesson learned by
rote at some school.
What every one loves about the sill
yer poplar is the argent sheen upon
the lower sides of the leaves; a March
breeze will set every silver leaf to
dancing on it's stem. About the origin
OF these silver leaves the Greeks, who,
like most primitive people, felt desire
twas it the beginnings of the spirit of
scientific reason?) to account for every
thing in nature, wove strange tale,
Hercules, they say, wore wreath OF
poplar leaves on his labor in hell. and
the smoke and fire blackened the upper
sides. while the cold dew of fear upon
his body kept the under sides silver

Observation-Disclosures provides the
most practical way. to clear restricted
areas of unwanted hairs permanently.
The electrically heated needle is in
serted into each hair root in turn and
thus burns out and destroys the life
of the individual hairs. If the work
is done skillfully no scars are left
This is, of course, a rather tedious
process and is therefore not used for
removing more than a few hairs at
time. Try peroxide for bleaching the
hairs on your lip and If that does not
prove strong enough, add few drops
of ammonia to a tablespoonful of the
peroxide. II the growth still annoys
