! ing surveyors to send to- the villages
to help their less fortunate comrades
/ The Club has it's own library housed
in an adjoining building. In addition
to magazines, the library owns 10000
books. There is dining room which
seats 500 workers at one time and
feeds on the average 1000 a day.
In addition to the main dining room,
workers can get sandwiches and tea
at buffet.
| The theatre has just been co:nplet-
ed. 1t has 1,700 seats and is equipped
with every modern appliance for

movies alternate with legitimate dra-

ridors were literally bursting with
wigs, masks and costumes.

NTH the women's sewing circle and
the billiard room where 80 workers
were waiting their turn at the two
tables.
There is special effort to interest
women in the cultural work and to
get them to attend their Trade Union
meetings, 80 of which are held in
the club each night. For this pur-
pose special lectures and discussions
for women have been arranged and
an evening nursery has been estab-
lished where mothers can bring their
babies and little children. Here milk
and bread are served, there is a
woman doctor and a nurse and there
is always a member of the Young
Workers League to play with the
older children. The room for babies
had its ten little beds filled. Each
night the doctor examines the children
and once a week there are lectures
for mothers.
We followed the railroad signals
which point the way from room to
room and finally out to the waiting
automobile which the railway union
had placed at our disposal. But the
chauffeur, who was also a member of
the union, had not been sitting con
duty" while we were inside. This
was his club too, and he had spent a
profitable hour in one of it's many ac-
tivities. At least he must have had
his fill of recreation, judging by the
speed with which he returned us to
our hotel.

tuition which can well be copied in ev-

the blanched walls" This delightful
picture may be compared with a para
graph from an address delivered by
Mr. Karl de Schweinitz, secretary of
the Family Society of Philadelphia, a
charity organization. "Of the thou
sand families studied in December
1929 many lacked what are the nee
essities of modern city life. There
were 3S7 that had no bathtub, while
another 230 were obliged to share a
tub with one or more other fam
lilies. Less than half of the thousand
families had toilets in their houses.
One hundred and ninety-one families
shared toilet indoors with one or
more families; 1924 families had out
side toilets and AZ families were
obliged to share an outside toilet with
other families. There were actually
60 families that did not have running
water in the house."

And then "Balisand," the story of
a landed gentleman of Maryland dur
ing the revolutionary war; here
again is "stateliness" to the nth
power, and as usual written around
an article of furniture. Under an il
lustration in the "Dower House" book
you find this caption: "The walnut
sideboard, inlaid with long conch-
shells in apple-wood, had rare brasses
stamped with ar Ionic temple. 1t

opening chapter getting deliberately

of a gentleman of letters. But per-
sons who have not sense enough to
share such tastes do not need to
worry; they are in no peril from any
effort on my part to extend their
joys" No propaganda, you see!
But these joys cost real money, and
so Mr.. Hergesheimer takes trip to
the fountain-head of real money in
the arts, and writes a series of ar
ticles for Colonel Lorimer, describing
life among the movie stars in langu-
age of the most top-lofty stateliness.
All in the sacred cause of high art

I cannot recall any artist lending his
fancy language to the clarifying of
more empty vanity and pretense. The
climax comes in the home of one of
these money-stuffed dolls; the spell
of Cytherea begins to steal over us,
and we sit lost IN it, until the beau
tiful "shape in light" asks what is

in his chapter entitled "The Charm
Poacher," Sinclair takes occasion
to hurl brick at James Branch Ca
bell, one of our most advanced
novelists. Cabell's crime, in Sinclair's
eyes is that the author of Jurgen con-
tributed to the delinquency of our
youth in that he excited them sexually
by his Jurgenistic writings, with the
result that his readers might be
found standing in line at dispensaries,
sorry testimonials to the efficacy of
Cabells propaganda.

 The yield per acre of wheat in England and Wales is forecast at nearly 1T hundredweight per acre, or one-quarter hundredweight be- low the last ten years average. Barley and oats are slightly above the average yield, but the condi- tion of the grain, farmers say. leaves much to be desired, and much of it will have to remain in fore 1t Is marketable.
 Root foods such as turnips an1 carrots made good top growth during September. but the roots themselves are inclined to be ra- ther small owing to the lack of sunshine.
 The harvest this year has been considerably delayed, as is shown by the alterations in the words of harvest hymns at some of the churches, "Some is safely gather ed in" being substituted for "All Is safely gathered in"

 CTS or Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some form, says a well-known author ity, because the. acids created ex- cite the kidneys. Then they be- come oyerworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe head aches, acid stomach, constil torpid liver, sleeplessness, blad- der and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right. or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for, years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts can not injure any enc; makes delightful efferves- cent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding serious kid ney disorders. adv.
