Highest Form, of Laces

Church laces are usually the finest
examples of lace making which artists
can design and fingers execute. Much
OF the finest lace has been made by
nuns in converts. Venetian points are
considered the most beautiful aud
elaborate laces known, made entirely
with the needle.

The only thing which justifies the
element of risk is whether or not the
goal to be attained is worth it. If the
goal expresses moral value or is Of

turned the first few shovelfulS of dirt
at a ceremony marking the renewal OF
the project started nearly 20 years
earlier. E. B. Caldwell was president
of the company and B. Fl. Latrobe, en-
gineer, Mr.. Duhamel said.
After a suspension caused by the
War Of 1912 the requirements OF the
charter were met in 1915, and in Oc-
tober of that year the canal was first
nut into operation, when two boats
left the bridge at Twelfth street and
reached the Eastern Branch, a distance
of two miles, in 80 minutes.
The completed canal was described
as "a beautiful sheet of water, between
Third and Sixth streets, walled on both
sides, and bearing on its ample bosom
the produce of the surrounding coun-
try" A hundred years ago it was the
most profitable corporation in Wash
ington, Mr.. Duhamel states, describing
the commission houses, shops and in
dustrial establishments along its shores,
not emitting Center Market, the
garbage trom which was dumped in
the water, and made trip from Ninth
to Seventh streets an odoriferous voyage.
Although the washington Canal was
connected with the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal In 1888, at a cost of about $780,
600, the work of continuous dredging
the former structure became increas-
ingly diRcult and the coming of the
railroad proved its death blow, Mr..
Duhamel narrated.
Several members supplemented Mr..
Duhamel's history with personal remi-

When the miners of Kiskay Valley

they decided to draw Arnold County
into the strike as well. A number
of leaflets sent into the unorganized
territory by the Save the Union Com

COLLECT SCORES
OF GREETINGS
FOR BIG ISSUE
Distribution Turnout
City Arranged

Reporting in detail the tremendous
success of the Red Sunday held in. Los
Angeles on March 18th, Paul C. Reiss,
agent for The DAILY WORKER in
the Los Angeles district, declares that
it was in stimulating the work for the
paper and in establishing new con-
tracts that the success of the Red
Sunday is to be measured. He adds
that the southern California workers
are utilizing these gains Immediately
in preparation for the special Mag
Day edition of their paper.
"At least 100000 copies of The
DAILY WORKER will be distributed
thruout the country on May Day."
Reiss writes in statement to the
business office of the paper. "The
special edition of the paper will con-
tain 80 pages and every Party unit
and every Party member will have to
do his or her share in order to carry
out this work."
Practical measures which the Los
Angeles workers have initiated to as
sure the success of the May l Issue
of their paper include the collecting
of subscriptions and greetings, the
writing and forwarding of articles to
The DAILY WORKER, the circulat-
ing of individual greeting lists, and
plans for number of affairs.
The collection of greetings is being
enthusiastically carried on. The inn
portance of all labor and fraternal or
CARNATIONS IF being represented in
this special May Day edition of The
DAILY WORKER has been impressed
upon them. Scores of greetings have
already been submitted.
The urgent necessity of receiving
all greetings from the farther sections
of the country with the least possible
delay is being stressed again by the
business office of The DAILY WORK
Err in commenting on the activity on
the Pacific coast. The early receipt
of all greetings and editorial material
will greatly facilitate the publication
of the May Day issue.
