Money Making Tomatoes

tomatoes as truck crop" and
tomatoes for canning and manufac-
turing" are considered in farmers bul-
letins that have been issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The evidences are that the agri-
cultural scientists have made the tardy
discovery that there is money to he
made out of tomatoes, since tomatoes
appear on the first line of the menu
card as soup, and bob up again in the
vegetables, only to reappear in the
salads. With three such chances at
the dinner table the humble tomato can
not linger in Obscurity. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has likely been
governed by these conditions in issu-
ing bulletins about tomatoes.
The only trouble with growing tOma-
toes in the past has been due to the
fact that the average yield has been
far below what it should be, and the
Department suggests home mixtures of
fertilizers to regulate production. Pro-
fits, it is found, depend upon how
cheaply a bushel or ton can be pro-
duced, and generally the greater the
acre yields the less it costs to produce
the crop. A fertilizer containing plenty
Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
is desirable A home mixture consist
ing of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda,
800 pounds of acid phosphate, $50
pounds of muriate of potash per acre
applied before setting, is recommended
with 100 pounds Of nitrate of soda ap-
piled as side dressing when the
plants are well started. The above
proportions arranged for what is known
as the early truck crop may be chang
ed to suit local conditions. Miss Bal
mayne Taliaferro, of Clancy, Mississ-
ippi, irst prize winner in the Southern
Ruralist Garden Contest, adds her ex-
perience for the benefit of tomato grow
ers, and she has written the follow

UNUSUAL CASE
Won By Poisoned Painter
Awarded Compensation

San Francisco.-General Presiden,
Macdonald, of the California State
Building Trades Council, reports ar
unusual lead poisoning case which
resulted in compensation to Sacra.
mento painter.
An outside paint consisting of white
lead, linseed oil and turpentine thin.
ner was used. The summer sur
caused the oil to evaporate, leaving a
chalky surface of fine particles OF
dirt and white lead.
Lead poisoning occurred when the
painted first brushed off the painted
surface, and in so doing caused clouds
of dust. AS there was no breeze at
the time the chalky substance would
hang in the heavy atmosphere and
was inhaled by the painter When
the facts were developed the insur-
ance company accepted responsibility
for lead poisoning.
In previous cases of lead poisoning
the evidence generally showed that
the poison was worked into the sys-
tenn out of the wet paint used by work
ers. The recent decision creates a
precedent, and President Macdonald
suggests that painters keep this case
in mind.

STATE FUND
For Compensation Favored
By New Workers

Albany, N. Y.-A joint bill provid-
ing for a state monopoly of work
mems compensation by the creation
of state fund, has been introduced
by Senator Downing and Assembly
man Hackenberg The measure is sup
ported by Governor Smith and the
New York State Federation of Labor.
Similar bills introduced at other ses-
sions of the general assembly have
been defeated.
The bill provides that private insur-
ance companies shall be eliminated
from the field of industrial casualty
insurance. Representative of organ
lied labor maintain the method is
successful in Ohio where private con-
Germs have been driven out of the
state.
"Our bill represents one of the most
fundamental and perhaps the most
important demand of organized la
bor," said a joint statement by the
introducers. "If compensation is to
be effective as a special agency, it
must necessarily become bad as a
business. Private insurance COM
panies thwart its development for
business reasons, and the result is
that we miss the real purpose of
workmen's compensation. A state
monopoly will make it social agency.
At present it is competitive bust
ness run for desire for profits"

PEONACE
Praised in Forced Letters
to Porto RicanS

Washington. - President Green is
informed by the industrial commission
of Arizona that Porto Ricans who
were lured to the cotton fields of that
state write in glowing terms to Porto
Ricans of working conditions in Ari-
zona. The letters, which are declared
forced" and misleading" are pub
lished in Porto Rico.
"Many of these Porto Ricans have
said that one person can not pick more
than 70 pounds of cotton per day,
the commissions industrial agent
writes. "After transportation charges
are deducted there is not enough left
to support family, especially since
many children continue to be sick ano
need medical attention.
another source of distress is that
cotton growers do not employ Porto
Ricans whose wives and children are
not able to pick cotton. An impartia
investigation has been requested by
many of the Porto Ricans through me
and / feel that steps should be taker
to secure this investigation immedi
ately and the Cotton Growers Asso
citation be compelled to send bacl

Greek Sphinx Unlike
Ideas of Epypfidns

The Greek sphinx was not monu-
ment, like the surviving sphinxes of
Egypt. She was a creature of Greek
mythology, having the body Of lion,
the wings Of a bird, the tail of SER
pent and the head Of woman She
presented the Thebans with q riddle,
according to the legend, and slew all
those who were unable to guess 1t.
Edipus solved 1t at length, and in cha
grin she cast herself over a cliff and
died
Somewhat similar composite figures
are familiar In Egyptian art-bodies
OF lions with heads of other animals
or of men. The Greeks called these
representations sphinxes, and we have
adopted their term. To the Egyp-
tians, however, the figures were artis-
tic conceptions of an imaginary ami
NAL believed to be favorite incarna-
ton of Re, the sun god. The pharaohs
were held TO be the descendants of
Re, and his representatives on earth.
For that reason the face of a sphinx
was modelled after that Of the reigning
monarch, or sometimes from that of
the queen.
OF the numerous Egyptian sphinxes
the most celebrated and remarkable,
OF course, is the Great Sphinx Of Gil
zeh, lying among the pyramids as q
guardian OF the metropolis. From in
scriptions found on this famous mon
ument when the dust of ages was
cleared away from the front of it in
1916, the figure is taken to represent
Harmachis, special form of the sun
god

SEVEN-DAY WEEK
For Thousands of Federal
Employees

Washington.-The federal govern
ment has thousands of employees on
the seven-day basis, said Luther c.
Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees, at a
hearing on the Oldfeld bill Oh. R
12317).
The act would set eight hours and
six days as the minimum work week
for government custodian employees
Mr.. Steward urged that the legisla-
tion be extended to all federal en-
ployes.
"This legislation would establish a
work week of not more than six days
except in an emergency" said Con-
gresham Oldfeld. otis is essential
and considering the unfavorable
working conditions of certain EN-.
ploye,s, it demands affirmative action
by this congress-"

STRIKE RIGHTS
Of Labor Is Beyond Court
Rule, Holds Judge

Denver.-Judge Julian Moore has
refused to order the Building Trades
Council to desist from its opposition
to non-uniOn contractor.
Union carpenters refused to work
with unorganized carpenters, and the
contractor sued for an Injunction and
100000 damages.
The court made short work of the
case. After the plaintiffs attorney
presented the usual Citizens Alliance
plea, Judge Moore rendered his de-
cision without calling upon the de-
fendents.
"a man has the right to work or
quit work at any time, in his own de-
termination" the court said. "An or
ganization has the right to order its
members to work or quit work, as it
sees fit, so long as, in the execution
of such order, there is no disturbance
created or any law violated.
"A man has a right to belong to a
union, or not to belong to a union, as
he sees fit. If he joins a union he
adopts their rules and regulations and
agrees to abide by the decisions of the
organization.
"The evidence in this case tends to
show that the organization affiliated
with the defendants Building Trades
Council refused to permit their mem
bers to work on this particular build
ing, and that in so far as it goes the
defendants had right to do what was
DONE"

MINE ACCIDENTS GROW

Indianapolis. - The United States
bureau Of mines has no authority to
enforce recommendations that would
lessen coal accidents, according to a
field representative Of the United
Mine Workers.
There is no excuse for the high IA
tality rate in this industry and the
findings of the bureau of mines should
be made public, the trade unionist
said.
The fatality rate of American mines,
he said, was three to four times as
high as that in European mines.
There were approximately 2,450 fa-
talities in the mines of this country
last year, compared with 2s230 in
1925. For every fatality there are
lis injuries.
According to these statistics, the
speaker said, one out of every four
miners will meet with an accident
this year.

SHOWDOWN" POLICY
URGED FOR FARMERS

Washington. - The department of
agriculture joins with bankers and
business men in advising cotton grow
ers to slow down-to produce less.
The farmers are called upon to re-
duce acreage as means of increasing
their returns.
Cotton production" the depart
ment's report said, must be curtailed
drastically to restore the balance be-
tween consumption and supply at re-
munerative prices to growers. The
chances for profitable production will
be best if the acreage is small, costs
held to minimum and efforts made
to improve the quality of the crop"

POLICEMAN'S CLUB
FAILS IN NICARAGUA

New York-Any attempt to play
policeman in the internal affairs of
Latin America is both un-American
and dangerous, declared Senator Ship
stead, speaking at an open forum in
this city.
The Minnesota lawmaker favored a
Central American Federation and the
development of friendship between the
United States and these countries
This policy, he said, was dictated both
by sentiment and by practical policy.
Senator Shipstead was sarcastic

fo Diaz, now president of Nicaragua,
is San able, responsible business
man"
sDiaz has shown great ability in
getting elected president of Mica
ragua and in making friends with the
state department and the American
marines. He was formerly employed
by Pittsburgh corporation at sal
ary of $1,000 year," Senator Ship

BOOTLECCINC
Of Seamen Is Opposed By
Senators

Washington.-The senate has ap-
proved the King bill which will stop
bootlegging of immigrants and SNUG
Cling of Orientals to this country by
shipping interests.
1t is customary for vessels sailing
to American ports to employ more
seamen than necessary. The surplus
is lost in the large American port
cities. The King law provides that
on departing from an American port
if vessel fails to carry the same
number of seamen carried on arrival,
clearance papers will be denied.
Persons classed as seamen, and
who, on examination, are found not
to be seamen, shall be considered
aliens and subject to the inauguration
law If found inadmissable under
that law the alien shall be deported
"on vessel other than that by which
brought, at the expense of the vessel
by which brought, and the vessel by
which brought shall not be granted
clearance until such expenses are paid
or their payment satisfactorily guar
anteed."
Vessel owners and those engaged
in the traffic of Orientals opposed the
bill, but discussion of the methods
employed by the bootleggers revealed
their purpose. With the cost placed
on vessel owners of returning aliens
alleged to be seamen they will be
careful to ship only competent seamer
and will arrive with no greater num-
Der than which they will depart from
American ports.

NOT ALL HAVE IT
Shorter Work Week Far
From Universal

Washington.-In a review of wages
and hours in foundries and machine
shops in 1925, the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics skaters the
belief that the eight-hour day is in
general effect.
Average full-time hours per week
for males in foundries of the United
States as whole were 524 in 1923
and 51.5 in 1925, and in machine shops
sos in 1928 and 504 in 1925.
Average full-time hours in foun
dries in 1925 range from All pc,
week in Oregon to SCI in Georgia
and in machine shops from 46.4 IN
California to 54.5 in Kansas. The in
dustry average for all the states com
bined is 515 hours per week for foun-
dries and 50.4 per week for machine
shops.
Average full-time earnings pei
week for males ranged from $780,
for laborers to $36.35 for toolmakers
in 1925.
"a large number of the plants COW
cred in this study did not pay any
extra time for overtime" the report
states.
"Of the Alb foundries covered, 156
paid no additional rate for overtime
work, 1875 paid time and one-half fol
all overtime, 65 paid time and one
half for overtime on week days ano
double time for Sunday and holidays
and 35 paid time and one-half fol
overtime on week days up until mid,
night and double time after midnight
and all work on Sundays and holidays
"a higher percentage of machine
shops allowed additional rates fol
overtime than foundries, as only lie
of the 511 covered reported no extra
time for overtime"

DODGE TAX PAYMENTS

in favor of the rich, the powerful and
the strong, who by their ability to en-
ploy skilled bookkeepers, power or
cunning legal representatives, obtain
special consideration and protection
through the influences of the lobby"
