Coin Bank Idea Old

The use of coin banks as thrift In
educators can be traced back far be-
yond the Christian era. Probably the
Oldest coin bank is that found by
Count de Prorok and now in posses
sion Of the National City bank. This
savings utensil, which is in the form
Of closed urn of baked clay with e

Of Utica. an ancient Phoenician city

GOOD ROAD MAP
HELPS TOURIST
Not Safe to Rely on People
Along Road for Di-
rections.

Telegraph poles always lead to
cities. Road maps usually tell the
truth. The sun and stars are helpful
IN determining directions.
Instructions such as those above are
so simple as to seem almost foolish,
and yet they are often fundamental in
successful touring.
How to Plan a Tour.
Even If you are one of those care
free motorists who likes to start out
with no knowledge Of his destination,
1t is best to secure number of good
road maps before planning tour.
Many motor clubs and associations
furnish maps which are not only re-
liable but which indicate blazed trails.
With map of this kind, touring is
simply a matter of following painted
poles.
In travelling, don't rely on directions
you get from people walking along the
road. Directions obtained in this way
are often surprisingly wrong. If you

Troubles of Tourist.
Service station men say that most
of the mechanical troubles encoun-
tered by tourists are Of minor sort.
1t is therefore a saving of time and
money to know how to make minor
repairs. Carry patches, cement, and
a gasoline vulcanizer for your tires
and tubes, and be sure, too, to have
a good spare tire and tube. Learn how
to remove, initiate and replace tire.
Put plenty of gasoline in the tank-a

starting on tour, it is good plan
to have your car looked over by
competent service man.

eral of them, though
phfased in different
terms, it may be pos
sible to arrive at some statement
which will come. near expressing the
meaning, not only to labor but to all
other divisions of human society, of
this day Of days for the working man.
Labor Day was first suggested in
the New York city Central Labor
union in May, 1882. It was decided
to observe the first Monday in Sep
TENDER of that year as festival day,
with parade, speech-making and pic
MICS. Labor held that, whereas there
were other holidays representing the
religious, civil and military spirit,
there was none which stood for the
industrial spirit. Accordingly this
first celebration was held, and it was
big success.
In 1884 the American Federation of
Labor officially proclaimed the first
Monday in September as Labor Day.
All wage earners, irrespective of sex,
calling or nationality, were urged to
observe it until it should be as I'M
common for man to work on Labor
Day as it would be for him to toll on
the Fourth of July. State legislatures
were urged to make the day legal
holiday, and 80 of them eventually
did enact laws to that effect. Con-
gress made it legal holiday in 1894
for the District of Columbia and the
territories and, although a number of
states have no Labor Day law, the
federal act has been accepted by all
of them, and this holiday is generally
observed throughout the United States.
Perhaps one of the first interpreta-
tons of the spirit of Labor Day was
that uttered by the late Samuel Com
pers, the Grand Old Man of Ameri-
can Labor" in the first Labor Day
editorial which he wrote after con-
gress had made it legal holiday.
The editorial, which appeared in the
American Federationist for <Septem-
Der, 1894, follows:
In the cycle of time we are again
on the dawn of our most important
national holiday-Labor Day. Most i'm
portant, since 1t for the first time in
the history of the world devotes a day
to the recognition of the fact that the
wage earners must hereafter be re-
garded as the important factor in the
economy of life. In this day when so
many look upon the dark side of the
progress of the labor movement and
predict worse things in store for the
laborer, it is not amiss to direct atten-
ton to the fact that the life of the
human family is one vast struggle, and
that though the progress is not as
swift as we, as well as our impatient
brothers and sisters of labor, would
like 1t to be, yet the fact that IN our
decade we can see the rights of labor
more clearly defined, the vantage
ground obtained. and obtaining a
clearer insight into the existing
wrongs, the more intelligent percep-
tion and determination to achieve la
boris rights.
The past year has witnessed several
contests. some of them defeats, but
though defeated in the immediate OBJ
ject sought, they have awakened a new
conscience in the American people, and
will contribute more to the thorough
organization of the wage workers of
our country than hundreds of meet
ings. speeches or pamphlets. The great

Use long bolts and push them through

ure.
Such utteranceS as these are evil
dence of the fact that Mr.. Gompers'
warning so long ago that Intelligence
must PREVAIL" has been needed by
American labor, and a part of the
] American laboring mans prosperity
today is due to the fact that he has
brought to his task an intelligent con-
ception of both it's rights and its OBJ
Legations. For that reason Robins ia
nous statue, '"The Thinker" is not
an inappropriate symbol of the Amer
lean worlSing-man, a man of brains as
well as Drawn.
Rev. Charles Sickle, an eminent
sociologist and student of labor prob
lens, once wrote:
When the last chapter of the story
has been written, it will be found that
the chief glory of labor has not been
in what it's leaders or men gained for
themselves nor for their generation,
but in what they secured for those who
followed. This fact should make US
more generous In our estimate of the
value of the services of those who are
today giving their hearts and lives to
many a cause which seems to make
but little progress. The normal
man, be he rich or poor, educated
4 through books or through experience,
be he black or white, yellow or red. no
matter what his circumstances-so
long as he's a man who Is doing
mans job in the world, is helping the
other fellow in a way which Is rarely
appreciated. The poorest, neediest man
in the world. who Is doing his best, Is
rendering a real service to the rich
est man in the world. He Is making a
contribution to the worlds work which
mere wages do not repay. Even the
despised immigrant who doesn't under
stand a word of English, but who is
contributing his share to the COM
mon good by shoveling dirt in con-
struction camp, is making a debtor of
the man who will later ride over that
railroad track in his comfortable pull
man, made smooth-running because
that italian made a good job Of his
shoveling. But everywhere in human
life,,in the lowliest places, in shop and
factory, on the street and on the road.
everywhere, men and women and even
little children are bringing their con-
tributions to the great treasure house
to which we all come and freely
draw-some more, some less; and he
who draws most becomes the great
est debtor to all mankind.
Here's the point, then: Let's talk less
about helping and let's think nuore
about Exchange" of service-for that's
what it is.
Read these words again. "The
man who is doing a mans job in the
worldwide is doing his designating
a contribution to the worlds work
contributing his share to the common
good" They lead inevitably to one
phrase-"the dignity of labor" That
phrase has been given slightly diff
ferent wording by Thornton Oakley.
