SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

their livelihood? Who apart from
the favored few of fortune, can kaqS
their wings from being singed by the
"sordid smoked" Think it over, you
women who must earn your liveli-
hood: charm is of necessity destroyed
before it's time in those who must
sell themselves, their lives, for
wages, in order that the sheltered
few may keep their charms. Wage
earning women, ours is ga sordid
struggle" and for what-for mere
existence, so that our bosses may
wiring profits from us to make their
lives, and those of their families, lives
of ease and luxury. This being a
fact, you might as well give yourself
to the task of changing the policies
that permit Of such travesties. Since
we must suffer from the. Smoke" and
be burned by it, let US not suffer in
vain. Let us become politicians, but
politicians with a purpose, whose
purpose it shall be to clear away the
deadly smoke.
Let's Organize.
Which may be regrettable. Yet
true" continues Mr.. Leasing. 1t is
most emphatically regrettable, but
what are we to do about it? Pine
and sigh as he does. Be satisfied
with the hot air he, and other like
him, pour upon US? No! Let US
make anything such as he may say
really "Somethink to Think about;
let US organize to devise ways and
means to do away with such regret
table conditions. We cannot better
them by being satisfied with listen
ing to someone tell us they are re-
grettable. They need forceful re-
medy. The remedy is in organized
effort to eradicate such evils. 1t can
be done! 1t must be done! 1t is
up to you to help to do it. You can
do this by joining theWorkers (Com-
munist) Party, by learning of its
work, and carrying out its program.

Bv RIMIDALV NINEL.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, (By
MaiD Something to Think About"
is the heading of column which ap-
pears in the San Francisco Examiner
"a Hearst publication) Beneath
this appeared the title: Ladies and
Their Legs" This, indeed, is thot
inspiring, especially when the column
is introduced by the following para
graph: "a motion picture actress re-
turned from Paris with twelve
trunks, a new husband and a mouth
full of philosophy" One can easily
imagine the owner of twelve trunks
coming back with a NEW husband,
but it take a credulous mind to I'M
agine the owner of twelve trunksful
coming back with even n1outhful of
philosophy. Judge for yourselves:
"The fiapper Styles" says she, ARE
disappearing, for which l am so glad.
For they were not beautiful, those
style. The sight of legs is not
charming; to be charming women
must have mystery.
Columnist PHILOSOPHERS.
Mr.. Leasing, the columnist, then
goes on to discuss this palatable bit
of philosophy which he chose to offer
the public: g. the generality of her
philosophy" says he, is somewhat
applesaucy. The sight of pretty legs
is most absolutely, positively and ITO
per cent charming" etc. This is the
kind of philosophy served to us by
our "best" papers. 1t is the kind of
papers filled, with philosophical dis
cussions such as the foregoing that
have the greatest circulation. Is it
a wonder, then, that (according to
reliable statistics) over so per cent
of the adult population in this coun-
try has the mentality of 12-year old
child. Of course, any 12-year-old is
capable of such sound philosophy.
Further on one might expect some
thing reasonable from this philos-
opher when he says: a.. Female
politicians are rarely charming. Com
petition with men in the sordid
struggle for existence has the same
effect upon woman's charm as the
smoke-laden atmosphere of a Pitts
burgh steel mill would have upon the
wings of a butterfly. Which may be
regrettable. Yet true" He need not
have troubled to tell us so evident a
truth; however, one soon sees that he
did not realize this to be the only
thing he said worth thinking about.
Why Go Into Politics.
Yes, this is worthy of your full
consideration.
Why do women become politicians
Does a woman deliberately throw
away her charms for politics? Is it
possible today for a woman to get
along honorably without competing
with men? Does the average man
earn enough to support her? Much
less a family.) The answer is no.
Then what is left for woman to
do? There is no other alternative
than to compete with man. How else
is she to exist?
Certainly the sordid struggle for
existence has the same effect upon a
woman's charm as the smoke-laden
atmosphere of a Pittsburgh steel mill
would have upon the wings of
butterfly" That is it. What other
atmosphere is there for the myriads
of women who are compelled to earn

A Successful Convention.
The first annual convention of the
Central States Cooperative League
was held at Bloomington, ILL.,, on May
END and 23rd. From ali indications
this was a very successful convention
and undoubtedly contributed in a
large measure toward strengthening
and solidifying the consumers coop
erative movement in the central part
of the United States.
Besides the four delegates repre-
senting the central organization,
there were altogether 25 regular vot-
ing delegates present from 10 differ
emit societies affiliated with the
League. There also were present
twelve fraternal delegates, represent
ing six different organizations.
Many matters of vital interest to
the movement were considered and
many important measures passed.

erative worker, is the executive secre-

Through tie Static

The westerners held out on us last night. It was impossible 10 bring in one of them before 11:3O o'clock.
 After 11:3o we brought in one. But all fooling aside. or, if you didn't think that constituted fooling, con- tinuing in our usual serious vein, let us say that volume on nearby sta- tions was ace-high all evening. There
 was some static and little fading,
 not much.
 The Reynolds Mixed quartet, a we'll balanced organization, provided vocal music in the course of WT1C's Bible Study period last evening. We heard the concluding selection on the program, Filing Out The Ban ner, Let It Wave" Carrol's orches- tra played "Mine" and Tt All De- pends on You" in a very ordinary manner, at the conclusion of the Bible Study program.
 We struck WBZ, hearing the Max well String quartet play Cherry Ripe" and Deep River" The quar- tet was remarkably capable, it seemed to us, and the blending of tones produced delicious interpreta- tions of both numbers.
 Over to WABC, New York. where the Atlantic ensemble played an in- teresting selection from the pen of an Italian composer The station came through very loud, and with depth. VEAL, Baltimore, offered the shannon Quartet program from WIZ, this station handling the New York program in a faithful manner.
 Then we moved over to WGCP, Newark, which was sticking its head above the debris found around its wavelength. The Hawaiian Serena ders. playing on genuine Hawaiian instruments, presented T Found Four Leaf Clover" as an ensemble number. and "I'd Like to Call You My Sweetheart" as a so.o offering.

GROUP MARRIAGES HELD BY HOUSE OF DAVID

 Slave Law.

St. Joseph. Mich., May 1s.-LR- Group marriages were ordered for girl members of the House of David colony when a federal white slave investigation was threatened, &C., cording to Mrs. Ruth Swanson of South Orange. N. J.. witness in the dissolution proceedings against the cult here.
 More than fifty girls were quickly assembled. when word of the pro- posed inquiry was received, Mrs. Swanson. a former member of the colony, testified yesterday. Benja- min Purnell, head of the colony, ordered the marriages, she said, and told the girls their husbands would have to live with them If it became necessary"
 The witness then explaineda that celibacy was one of the tenets of the faith.
 The girls were called into a room and told to pick out a husband, the witness said, preferably some one they liked. among group of men colonists. If a choice made was not mutually agreeable they were given permission to pick again, she testi- fled.
