WASHINGTON SEES SOUTHERN
STRIKE PLAY

WASHINGTON-(FP)-An enthusiastic audience of 500 witnessed the
presentation in Washington of "Nil Shadows" Tom Tippetts play de-
pcting the events of the strikes, the mnLgates massacre of pickets and
the exoneraton of the murderers, in the Marion textile mill struggle in
North Carolina. The Brookwood players, ably led by Helen Norton, teach
er of journalism, in the character of Nanny, the militant old mountain
woman who instned new courage into faint-hearted recruits to the union,
made the industrial South come alive to men and women who had known
the mills and their deadening effect o the happiness of people brought
from the hills
In spite of a vigorous canvass by the local committee, only n member
of Congress-Sen. Coshgan of Coorado-appeared at the performance.
Government empoyes-themselves about to feel the hepessness of protest
against wage cuts and dismRsasa and speedup made up the crowd. Among
the spectators was Este1e Lindsay, who represented the National Women's
Trade Union League at Marion.

DEFINITION OF A SCAB

From an English paper May 6, 1922
AT a conspiracy trial, held in England, the prosecuting counsel gave the
following definition of a scab: "a scab is to his trade what a traitor is
to his country, and though both may be useful in troublesome times, they
are detested by all when peace returns, SO when help is needed the scb
is the last to contribute assistance and the first to grasp the benefit he
never labored to secure. He cares only for himself; he sees not beyond the
extent of a day. and for a monetary appropriation he would beray friends,
family and country; in short, he is a traitor 0 a small scale, who first
sells the journeyman and is afterward sold in turn by his employer, until
at last he is despised by all He is an enemy to himself, to the present
age and to all podeity"

25O-POUND HOG is SENT TO MARKET; FARMER WHO RAISED IT
GOT FIVE CENTS.

Ever since Labor printed the story about ". E. Estes of Lttefeld,
Colo, receiving only rs cents for seven sheep which, according to farm lead
ers, cost the ultimate consumer" $8375, farmers throughout the United
States have been writing letters telling of similar experiences.
Here are a few typical instances selected from letters received by Labor
in one week:
1t cost M. Magnan, a farmer na Fort Ripley, Mim, $40 to raise a
25Opound hog. At the market price it brought him only $l61. But the
commission house deducted $156 for yardage, feed, weighing charge in
specton, insurance commission and hauling charge. Mr.. Magnan received
a check for s cents.
But MI. Magnan came out of that deal better than a farmer at Muncie,
Ind. The Indiana "a sold three calves for $3.50. He ended up by owing
the commission merchant a dollar. Trucking, yardage and commissions
totaled $3.50.
"The commission merchant didn't get the dolar-the farmer thought
furnishing the calves a enough for him to lose" says Labors cores
pondent.
A similar experience is related by a reader at Randolph, Va.
Freddie McCargo shipped 47 pounds O. tobacco to the market at Dan
vne-50 miles away" he writes, "and sold it for 81 cents less than
nothing" The price he received lacked 81 cents of paying freight and
warehouse charges.

Wheat, six-tenths of a cent a pound; corn, seventenths; barley, half a

paid for four months" and then added heepishly, "you sec I'm IN the police
force"
Dear, dear, how would like to help YOU" exclaimed the sympathetic
lady. "But haven't a thing to eat in the house, although like you hold
a steady job, for Pm of the Chicago school teachers that hasn't been
paid for ever months"
Whata lel Richest country on earth. Best government ever con
ceived by the mind of mortal man. Too much of everything and not
enough to go around. Come one, fellows, let's give the burned thing back
to the Indians. Poor Lo wasn't much or algebra, and he couldn't spell

many buffaloes.

Walls Feature
Room Plan

Firmness and strength, to-
gether with absolute flatness
and straightness, are require
ments for the walls of any
room. The walls may appear
as. backgrounds, or they may
be decorative themselves, and
may be treated in a variety
of ways of which the chief
types are papered, paneled,
Or the painted plaster style.
The style of papering will
depend upon the architectu-
raj characteristics of the par
ticular room and the adjoin-
ing sections of the interior.
Its weight, color-fastness,
and ground coatings cannot
be ascertained by superficial
inspection, and if the room is
to be newly papered, look
for a copyrighted trademark
stamp upon the back of it in
the sample book, which will
guarantee that it meets the
minimum standard set up by
the Bureau of Standards of
the Department of Com
merce,

the urge toward gayety and
life.
For a number of years the
only thing available in liv-
ing room furniture was the
two or three-piece matched
suite. Mostly the coverings
were plush.
Today it's the ensemble,
pieces which harmonize, but
which contain pleasant COM
binations of color, and the
home ensemble is as care
fully worked out as the CO.'S
tune ensemble.
AS result of our find
ings we can safely say that
the woman who inquiries
carefully into materials and
construction and who does
not. choose the cheapest on
the market will get far
more for her money today
than she ever has before
in home furnishings.

House Hunters
Aided by Book

In any home, the living
room is one of the spots
where it is most important
that a pleasant view and
plenty of sunlight are avail
able. 1t is desirable for
every room to have as much
sunshine and good ventlla-
tion as possible.
It is we'll to remember
that draperies should not
obscure a beautiful pano-
rama, for such an outlook
is a decoration in itself.
Shades and draperies shut
off a goodly portion Of the
window area, and it is ad-
visable to mitigate this cir
cumstance as much as pos
sible.
In selecting a new home,
it is well to assure your
self that draperies and glass
curtains which you now
possess, and Of which you
are particularly fond, will
fit the windows of the new
house or apartment.
Windows which are near
the ceiling give the best
ventilation, and permit the
most efficient lighting. In
addition, sharp window sills
near the floor may menace
the children who play about,
without regard for such
hazards.
Bedrooms should be plan
ned so that morning sun
light will not shine in the
eyes of the sleeper. Cross
ventilation, usually impos-
sible in a room with only
one window, is desirable,
not only in each room,. but
from one side of the house
to the other.
Fireplaces are highly de-
sirable. Before taking for
granted the proper draw
ing power, build a fire in
the CRATE and test it.

Furniture Is Now
Priced Very Low

The consumer who paid
$10O for an article of furni-
ture in June, 1920, would
pay $52.4 40 for the same arti-

study of the decline in the

States just issued by the

declined 47.6 per cent over
the IL year period on the
1920 peak. The average de-
cline for all items was 37.3
per cent. Fuel and light has
declined 1914 per cent; rent
declined "a per cent during
the same period.
According to the Govern
ment's figures a living room
suite which once sold for
5000 would now cost $1O4.8O.
An occasional chair which
formerly brought $50 is now
selling for 5000; a secre-
tary desk once retailing for
$75 would now cost 5000.

Furniture Styles Are Stabilized
Sleeping Comfort
Is Essential

Americans now demand
greater comfort in sleeping
than they did a decade ago.
This is a finding of U. S. re-
search workers, who have
completed study of furni-
ture marketing in several Sec
tions of the country. Cheap,
hard mattresses are being re-
placed by soft, yielding,
longer-lived equipment, and
there is greater call for "in-
ner spring" construction, it
is found.

Lines and Curves
and Their Effect

Straight lines create. an
effect of strength, virility
and seriousness. Curved
lines create an effect of flex-
ibility, softness, grace and
joyousness. Horizontal lines
arouse a sense of calmness
and repose. Vertical lines
express activity and life.
Long straight lines create an
effect of dignity.

It has been said that

modern styles as they do to

Dull drab hues and tones

Definite Color Plans
Definite color schemes are
being established and fol-

open the season on Wilson Field,
under newly installed flood lights.
The season opener will find Mag

show which of these teams may be
counted on to finish the season
highest in the ratings. Preseason

show that if sufficient money isn't
raised to bring teams from the
east, the west can represent the
United States all by itself.
Which doesn't prove that it will,
in spite of some mournful financial
predictions from the Olympic COM
mittee, or that it wants to-but lust
that it could in case of necessity.
