DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:
Is 1t proper for the hostess,
when entertaining at q luncheon,
evening or dinner, to sit at the
table with her guests and take a
hand in bridge, or should the
hostess stav out OF the game and
wait on her guests when serv.
ing? 3. II.
1t Is better form for the hostess
to have everything 50 carefully
and completely planned that she
may play cards with her guests.
1T makes guests feel awF rd and
embarrassed not to have the hos.
tess join in the game.

OLD Time MEETING

Local Molders' Union, No. 68, met
Monday night in the Labor Temple
and from reports of the officers it
was one of those old time gatherings.
The large hall was crowded and some
of the way-back enthusiasm was dis
played. 1t was reported at this meet
ing that the forty-five molders and
core makers who were employed at
the Buckeye foundry, which burned to
the ground last Saturday night, would
be sent to the Niles foundry. The
work of the Buckeye foundry will be
done there until their plant is re-
built. Local 68 continues to hold the
Holland and Williamson furnaces un-
fair to their organization. Trades un-
ionists who contemplate erecting new
houses are asked to purchase union
made furnaces.

Parents seek, for one thing, to buy
an education that it, in turn, may buy
for the coming generation an immun-
ity from manual labor and "place
in the SUM-" Sometimes it works;
sometimes it doesn't work.
But the educational plant of the ma
tion must grow and grow to take care
of the growing demands upon it.
Endowments have given us big in
stitutions that we perhaps should not
otherwise have had We cannot quar-
rel with all of them. But we can and
must quarrel with the endowment
that lays dead and restraining hand
on the future use of money left be-
hind. We can and must quarrel with
the business of leaving vast funds
under restrictions which may and
probably will operate harmfully in the
future. Largely these restraints con-
stitute vain effort to tie the minds
of the future to the ideas of the do
nor, who seeks to do in death what
ne could not altogether accomplish in
life.
Endowments operate in the realm
of so-called higher education. Our
grade schools are publicly maintained
and their character changes with the
generations which they teach. Many a
college and university is tied to the
thought of a departed crank, depart
ed cynic or departed idol worshipper
of one kind of another. Verify, it
ought not be thus.
The other side of the picture is that
endowments and gifts have enabled
schools of many kinds to branch out
and to offer opportunities that would
have been a long time coming, had

JACKS TOUGH LUCK

Jack Scheaf, who holds the title of
business agent of the International
Alliance Of Theatrical Stage En-
ployes and Moving Picture Operators
Union No. 1876, ran into tough luck
last Sunday night. Jack was in
charge of the Eagle theatre stage,
and colored troupe played the house
for the afternoon and evening per-
formances. In order to complete the
stage settings, it was necessary for
Jack to secure large, live and
healthy chicken for one of the props.
The nearest place to get live chicken
on a Sunday afternoon was Heib's
market, few steps across the street,
and it only took few minutes for
Jack to return with the borrowed

it not been for gifts which enabled
growth. Moreover, in candor it must
be said that if reaction has sought to
tie the future through endowments,
so has the sickly radicalism and the
emotional rebellion of the coteries.
There is plenty of idiocy in both di-
rections among those who are victims
of the sort of egocentricity express
ed in the usual endowment. For al
most every rawboned revolutionist of
the avenues there has been a lily
handed admirer to fiutter not too far
away and not infrequently the lily
hand has held check book
The matter ramifies far and COM
bination of sentiment, sentimentality
and emotion has as much to do with
it all as has cool judgment and intel
lect-and perhaps a great deal more.
Time was when there was great to-
do about the Rockefeller Foundation.
We hear less about that in these days,
because the Rockefeller Foundation
is but one of many such things.
But in one way and another the in
f1uence of the men and women of
great wealth goes far in our world
of education and research. There can
be no light and hasty judgment about
the matter in many of its phases, but
in the one phase we can be sure
today cannot rule tomorrow and it
ought not have the chance to try. If
we seek a bright side of the issue
it may be found in the fair assurance
that no matter what today may seek
to do, tomorrow will find its way to
freedom of thought in spite of the
cemeteries and their monuments of
money and legal documents.

i" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Education becomes more and more
big business. In one days news
papers we find;
Yale is going to spend 100000
on new buildings;
Princeton gets a gift of half mil
lion for finance school;
Johns Hopkins is given $3,000,000.
America is requiring more and
more education for several reasons.
Growing buying power turns to edu-

seeks to buy education for the young
And a social order that grows more
and more complex offers fewer oppor-

Deficit ........................S 351.00
To dispense with the per capita of
10 cents per member would mean a
total deficit of $4,000.
The executive board recommended
to the central body meeting that the
rentals in the big hall be increased
$1.00 each meeting and the two halls
on the first floor $500. The rent on
the third floor to remain the same.
The increase in rentals would
bring approximately $4,000, and with
this added to the rentals as hereto
fore, would total $2264.00, which
would then leave approximately a
deficit of $557.00, about $206.00 more
than last year.
The council on motion approved the
recommendation of the executive
board, and voted to dispense with the
per capita of 10 cents per month per
member.
If the labor Day outings and the
bazaar continue to be financial sue
cesses there is nothing to be alarmed
at, because the labor temple is in a
better financial condition than it has
ever been. The only Indebtedness of

Council is the obligations to several
individual unions and few building
bonds which will all eventually be
taken up and paid

LABOR TEMPLE
Financial Condition Report
ed; Deficit For Last
Year Shown

A few years ago when the labor
temple was slightly in distress as far
as finances were concerned, the off
GERS at that time were forced to adopt
About the only revenue at that time
was the rentals from the building
proper and the auditorium. The rent
derived was not sufficient to pay the
expense, and after careful considera-
ton the officers recommended to the
central body per capita of 10 cents
per month per member. At the out
set some of the locals were opposed
to it for different reasons, while some
reported that they could not collect
it from their members.
Up to the present time the same
conditions exist, and few of the
organizations have not paid it. Some
refused to pay because the others
would not, and this made the method
unpopular.
The executive board was instructed
on February 9Th to meet and report
the financial condition of the labor
temple, and if possible to recon-
mend some other plan. The execu-
tive board met and gave the follow
ing report:

city will present a very different

will be the order of the night.
Cannons, the pealing of bells,
whistles and a tumultuous shouting
at exactly midnight will mark the
passing Of the old year.
Little Sleep
After that, until far into morn

homeWard bound merrymakers will
make sleep impossible in any of the
