This is Just what has happened
during the last few weeks. We knew
there were millions Of people who
had found the secret OF happiness in
the same way, and we asked them in
one or two small announcements in
the magazines and newspapers to
tell US their story. Letters came to US
from practically all over the globe.
All Of them said "'The secret of
happiness is health"
How to get this health? The way
that all Of these people had dis
covered was not some magic medi-
cine, not some powerful drug, not
some difficult course OF training
but only a simple, harmless, natural
method. 1t was to keep the body in
ternally clean, sweeping its natural
poisons away each day, regularly as
clock work-by the use Of Nulol.
These people had made a great
discovery. They had found out that
Nujol contains no drugs; that 1t Is as
tasteless and colorless as pure water;
pleasant TO take and forms no habit;
that it cannot hurt you, no matter
how much you take; that it Is nom
fsttening; not absorbed by the body;

WHITE REPORTED
Hoover Choice For Labor
Secretary; UniOnists
Aroused

Washington, d. G. GLNS)-Trade
union executives here and throughout
the country are aroused by reports
that Robe Carl White, assistant sec
retary of labor, will be appointed sec
retary of labor to succeed James j.
Davis, who will soon resign to run
for senator from Pennsylvania News
papers here report that President
Hoover has virtually decided to ap-
point White, who is said to be in
sympathy with the "open shoppers"
and who is opposed by organized
labor.
Resentment has been aroused in
labor circles by a campaign in behalf
Of White said to have been conducted
by local lodges of big fraternal or
der of which Secretary Davis is the
head. 1t is charged the local lodges
are flooding the white house with
kilograms urging the appointment of
White. The kilograms, it is charged,
do not reveal that they are inspired
by the fraternal organization. They
purport to come as pledges of spon-
taneous support from all parts of the
country.

LOUIS KREBS
Returns From Furniture
Mart and Reports Trade
Awakening

Greater dignity, less vividness OF
color and closer adherence to the
styles of the old masters was most
evident in the latest creations of fur
niture at the summer market and
style show held in the American fur
niture mart, Chicago, according to
Louis Krebs, of George Krebs Sons
who has just returned home after
viewing the latest creations of design
ers there.
The semi-annual showing of fur
niture attracted more than 5000
buyers, who purchased their stocks
for the coming season.
"Plainer fabrics of genteel appear
ances were dominant in the pieces
shown to the VISITORS" Mr. Krebs
added. "Colors that add cheerful
ness to a room are obviously here to
stay, but the tones have been sub
dued-more so than was the case at
the January showing. This change al
lows for distinctive design without
gaudiness."
Business done by the manufactur-
ers at the summer market, which was
held July 7-19, was very gratifying,
Mr.. Krebs said, with indications
pointing to an improvement in retail
sales by this fall

JAMES M. LYNCH
Former President of |. t. u.
Dead
Syracuse Man, Long in Public
Eye as Trade Union Executive
and New York State Labor
Commissioner.

Syracuse, N. Y. ILNS)-James M
Lynch, former president of the In.
ternational Typographical Union anc
former New York state commissioner
of labor, died in a hospital here or
July 16 of blood infection. He had
been in i'll health for some months
Long in the public eye, Mr.. Lynch
was one of the best known labor men
in the United States.
Probably the outstanding feature
tf his trade union career was his
mastery leadership of the famous
fight of the |. I. U. in the early
1900's for the 48-hour week. After
the battle was won, Lynch was re-
elected in 1906 by acclamation to the
presidency of the |. t. u, the first
to be thus honored.
Mr.. Lynch's most recent public ac-
tivity was his work as member of
Gov. Frank D. Roosevelt's commits
sion to investigate the subject of old
age pensions. This commission's
work resulted in the passage by the
1880 legislature of the old age Sc
curity law.
Born January IL, 1867, at Manlius,
N. Y, he came to Syracuse in 1881 as
printers devil' on the Syracuse
Herald. He stayed with the news
paper until 1899, when he was elected
first vice president of the |. T. u,
after holding the presidency of the
local union for seven terms.
In 1900 he was elected president of
the international Typographical I'm
ion, continuing to hold that office un-
til 1914, when he resigned to become
commissioner of labor, being ap-
pointed by Gov. Martin Glynn.
When the state labor department
was reorganized few years later, he
became one of four industrial COM
missioners, continuing in office until
1924
Mr.. Lynch then was named presi-
dent of the American Insurance Co.
and for four years devoted his time
to private business affairs. In 1925
he again turned his attention to In
ternational Typographical Union af-
fairs to oppose Charles P. Howard,
and defeated him. In 1926 and 1923,
however, Howard turned the tables.
He was a member of number of
economic organizations, including the
National Civic Federation and mem
Der of the Elks, ForesUers, Knights
of Columbus and Eagles.
Mr.. Lynch married Letitia c. Nc
Vey, of Syracuse, on June %, 1899.
They had 10 children.

TRUMBULL URGES
SHORTER DAY

Salt Lake City.-"The work day
should be reduced so that employ
ment can be spread out sufficiently
to provide work for everybody" said
Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut.
at the closing session of the gov
ernors' conference in this city.
Mass production is responsible to
great extent for unemployment" !"
said Governor Trumbull. statistics
tell us that one workman produces
as much as 80 workmen produced 70
years ago. In other words, one man
today, working one hour, produces as
much as one man working 80 hours
did Is years ago. Our ability to con-
sumo necessities, at least, has not
been on the same basis.
This situation is going to become
more and more acute. The only i'm
mediate answer that is seen is a
shortening of the productive hours
per day
"It has been estimated that en-
ployes working four hours per day
universally can produce all the neces-
sites, all the luxuries, make additions
to surplus capital and still enjoy all
the things that we have in the past,
and that the work hours per day re-
quired will become less and less as
mass production and mechanization of
industry increases and grows.
eve are going through transitory
period from the old hand method of
production in New England into the
machine age, and we are going still
farther into it. There is not an in
dustry in the East that | know of that
is not overcrowded."

DOG SHOW
To Be Held in Connection
With Big Labor Day
Picnic

Another big attraction has been
added to the local Labor Day picnic
program. 1t is a dog show-a real
one. The American Legion Kennel
Club of Hamilton has decided to hold
it's fourth annual all-breed dog show
at the Butler county fairgrounds
Sunday, August 81, and Labor Day,
September /, in connection with the
big Labor Day picnic of Hamilton
organized labor. This year the dogs
will not be benched under a tent as
formerly, and to which many of the
breeders objected, but in the concrete
livestock building is where they will
be housed
This will meet with the hearty
approval of breeders, and it means
greater and finer display of dogs
will be shown at the two-day 1880
event at the fairgrounds than was
ever before seen in Butler county
DR.. Henry Martin, of Cincinnati,
known as one Of the ablest dog show
superintendent in the country and
who was in charge of the past three
local shows, will again be in charge
this year, and the Hamilton club feels
highly honored in again securing DR..
Martins services.
The American Legion Kennel Clubs
shows are fast becoming noted as the
best non-circuit shows in the Middle
West, and attract great interest
among dog breeders. This years
show, to be staged in a permanent
building and which means much to
dog owners, is expected to be the
biggest ever.
With big dog show and a big
boxing show as special attractions,
and together with the usual picnic

TOO MUCH REST
For Workers in New Law
Say These Employers

Regina (ILNS)-All sorts of en-
ployers are up in arms over the effect
of the act passed at the recent ses-
sion of the Saskatchewan legislature
providing workers should have "a
hours continuous rest every week.
The one-day-rest-in-sev law was
specially designed to benefit hotel and
restaurant employees.
Now it has been found that the act
covers domestic servants, firemen and
all other overburdened people. House
wives who do not allow housemaids
holiday of "a continuous hours may
be hailed to court and subjected to
fines.
The union of municipalities is now
asking the provincial government to
suspend the operation of the act in
the case of fremen, housemaids, hos
pital stats and workmen at isolated
pumping stations.
