For Dealing With Unem-

F. of L. Head Tells Car
mems Convention.

Boston, Mass. (ILNS)-Charging
industrial leaders with failure to meet
the unemployment situation, Presi-
! dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, told the biennial
convention of the Amalgamated AS
sociation Of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees that the only construc-
tive proposals for dealing with the
emergency have been made by organ
| lied labor.
"Those who have expected the de-
preston to pass have been disap-
pointed" Green said. "The unem-
ployment situation is more and more
widespread, blighting all sections Of
the United States and other nations.
Among the captains of industry there
does not seem to be realization or
appreciation of the seriousness of the
situation.
~ charge them with failure to meet
the urgent needs of the situation.
There has been nothing whatever done
collectively by those who own and
manage industry to relieve the situa-
ton.
Leaders Make No Move
81 have asked them to point to a
single instance where they have col
lectively announced even a program.
Notwithstanding our appeal for con-
certed action and cooperation, or even
a declaration of policy, there has been
no response whatever. They are
seemingly hoping that fate or some
unseen power will restore normal con-
ditions"
Labor demands that President
Hoover call an immediate conference
between the leaders of labor and in
dustry, President Green said. He de-
clared that labor would cooperate to
the fullest at such conference.

Every woman likes beauty. Women
cannot all paint . picture or make q

thing to It she carl-she makes o work
Of art Of herself.
How can men be so ungrateful? The
prettiest things in every city or town
are the girls In 1t, all dressed so charm
ingly, with their faces SO well cared for
and their figures kept down by disci-
pline. Men like to look at the pretty
girls, yet they complain Of the time It
takes to make them pretty.
The next time a man complains to
you about all the time you waste, you
ask him how much time he wastes
talking about other peoples games.
And the next time a man condescend-

are to be so interested in clothes YOU
ask him what there Is about a lot of

Household Methods

Pieces of SOAP.

ASOCo VI swap
Odds and ends of soap. What do you
do with them?
Small pieces of soap left in the kitch-
en- may be put in soap shaker and used
for dish washing. Simply run boiling
or very hot water through the shaker
into the dish pan and use this soapy
water for dish washing.
Odds and ends of bathroom soap may
also be used in q soap shaker to be
used for bathing. If you use scented
soap these bits of soap should not. of
course. be used In the kitchen or
laundry.
An excellent way to use up small
pieces of soap Is by making them into
soap Jelly. You should have special
box in which to keep these odds end
ends and when the box is fairly full
sort over the pieces-puting all the
scented soap in one dish and all the
plain soap in another. Wash the pieces
to remove superficial dirt or dust. And
make two patches of soap-one of the
scented soap which may be used
in the bathroom and is useful In
shampooing and the other of unscented
soap which may be used in the kitchen
or laundry.
Set the soap in a good-sized saucepan,
cover with warm water and set over q
low flame on the kitchen stove and let
simmer gently until the soap is dissolved.
Strain off any scum that rises and stir
until the mixture is smooth and even.
When it is well melted and smooth
let cool slightly and then pour into
jars or tins and let cool, cover and
set aside for future use. If you like
you may add a little borax dissolved
in water-not more than Q teaspoon
of borax to a quart OF the jelly.
