N7HEN your favorite blend of coffee
w tastes extra good it's because it's extra
fresh. There's nothing to compare with the
flavor of freshly roasted coffee unless perhaps
it is bread fresh from the oven.
"I'd like to have my coffee that way every
time you said, and Chase & Sanborn have
made it possible.
For this fine, balanced blend of coffee, the
favorite in exacting New England and the
Middle West for Is years, is now delivered
in the same way that fresh yeast is delivered
by the Daily Delivery Service of STANDARD
Brands, Inc, whose clean, new, green motor
trucks you see every day going busily from
grocery store to grocery store, delivering
Fleischmann's Yeast and Chase & Sanborn's
Coffee.
Straight from the great ovens kept con-
tinuously warm and fragrant with the roast
ing of Chase & Sanborn's Coffee, your grocer,
wherever he is, gets two deliveries regularly
every week. This eliminates all storage of
Chase & Sanborn's Coffee, for your grocer
gets it in just the amounts he expects to sell
before the next delivery. He can't have any
in stock that is more than a week old.
You need never again be disappointed at
the weakness, or the fatness of your coffee,
for Chase & Sanborn' is in the fresh food
class - the only coffee rushed to you as
bread, Fleischmann's Yeast, and milk are
rushed-to reach you while its flavor is at
its best.
Look at your can of Chase & Sanborn's
Coffee. Read the date stamped on its blue
band-this is your assurance of the unusual
freshness of this cofee-golden brown and
fragrant from the rooster, ready at the touch
of boiling water to release its goodness to your
cup u. full strength, at the peak of its JRavor.

by the new method can not be dis
posed of to an increasing number of
unemployed.
Organized labor declares that old
ideals of wages and hours must be
rejected. The ten, nine and eight-hour
work day and the Giving wage" the
DRY are obsolete.
The imagination and courage of in
ventors and scientists must be car
ried into the field of distribution and
labor's demand for shorter hours and
still higher and higher wages be sup
ported. Society for its own well-being
must be conscious of the need OF a
diffusion of wealth that is being cre-
ated by the machine and scientific
processes.
The labor Injunction remains an
unsolved problem, and the A. F. of L.
will press this issue at the forthcom-
ing session of congress.
Government by man has been SUBJ
stituted for government by law. The
injunction evileis most glaring in its
legalization of the "yellow dog" con-
tract, wherein the needs of workers
and their families is taken advantage
of by employers who deny employ
ment unless the job seeker pledges
he will not join a trade union-that
he will forego a legal right-while

This alleged contract" which has
been upheld by the United States
supreme court, violates the first prin-
ciple of contract law-that neither
party shall be subject to duress and
that free will has full play.
Automatic production and the la
Dor injunction appear to me to be the
two major issues that confront the
| nation. These are not so-called ia
Dor" issues. None can escape the
effect of logical continuance of these
processes. Even the owner of the
automatic machine will in time be
affected while government by injunc-
tion overthrows our national polity.

1929.
The American Federation of Labor
declared quarter of century ago
that low wages reduces the purchas-
ing power of workers and restricts
markets. Cheap-wage advocates be-
lieved markets could be created by a
low labor cost, and that wages were
set by "the law of supply and de-
mand." Only recently workers have
been considered consumers as well as
producers. Installment buying, inaug-

The new public attitude toward la
Dor displacing machinery is also sig
nificant. Workers were formerly as
sured they could find other employ
ment, and that new industries and
new wants automatically care for
those who have been displaced by
machinery and scientific processes.
The new industrial revolution, how
ever, operates in new industries as
well as established industries. Low
wage jobs, such as employment at
gas filling stations, is no solution for
unemployment of highly skilled

Al Smith stories becoming so numerous that
they have replaced the vver gags of few years ago.
Scarcely day goes by but what someone tells one

has shown no intention of resigning and Smith has
shown no public desire for the of11ce-but anyway,
it's good story.

November, those who opposed him politically hoped

idea along by announcing his retirement from politics

America Lays Behind

Two events at Geneva show the international back
vardness of the United States compared with other
nations working for peace.
First, a special conference of world court members
unanimously has accepted the unofficial protocol
presented by Enhu Root fixing the conditions OF
American adherence to the court.
This protocol is necessary because the United
states senate claims unique privileges without which
America will not join. The senates fifth reservation,
giving us virtual veto power all court decisions,
obviously could not be accepted by other nations
without destroying the court.
The Root formula tones down that reservation, but
retains for the United Ststes the right to prevent
without its consent court advisory opinions on dis
putes to which We are party. 1t also provides
machinery for negotiation when there is disagree
ment over submission of a dispute In which the
United States is not involved but claims an interest
Our right to withdraw from court membership is
preserved.
In other words. the nations have met us far more
than half way They have not only granted special
privileges but formally have acted on the Root
formula which was prepared by the state department.

Preparedness

a ND while Professor Cattell was
N predicting the coming Of a new
type of worldwide solidarity, the
Rev. William Graham Everson OF
Muncie, Ind, was talking OF the
necessity of preparedness for war.
The preacher has just become ad-
jutant-general of Indiana, and he
sees no conflict between this task
and his pastorate. On Sundays
from his pulpit he breaches Christ
and then on week days goes to
superintend instructors who tell
young men the proper place IN
which to thrust a bayonet.
"Let the pacifists pray that I'll
make good" was his comment when
the incompatibility of the two jobs
was called to his attention. He
purposes to retain his post as pas
tor of the First Baptist church OF
Muncie. The building alone cost
S345, 900.
OF course It can be said that
science has not yet banished war or
the threat of war from the world.
But. after all, its shift has been
much shorter than that of organ
lied religion. The church has failed.
I think science deserves its chance.
