PROPER Use
OF Leisure Under MIRA
Program to Be Studied

New York City (ILNS)-Grover A.
Whalen, city chairman of the MIRA
campaign, has appointed committee
to study and report on how millions
whose working time has been cut by
the MIRA program can make the best
use of their greater leisure. There
are no labor representatives on the
committee, which is headed by Ray
mond B. Fosdck as chairman.
One of the members is John W..
Davis, corporation attorney and DEM
ocratic candidate for president in
1924, who recently expressed opposi-
tion to cutting the workday below
eight hours. Davis was counsel for
j. P. Morgan at the senate banking
inquiry.
After pointing out that hundreds
of thousands of workers are having
their working periods cut sharply,
Whalen said, in announcing appoint
menJ OF Cf1e cOmmlCLee:
"In approaching the problem, the
members of the committee agree with
me that we will have to use Greater
New York as a great laboraotry-
this is to be scientific experiment
from which we hope to derive formu-
lac that can be employed in every
city, town and village in the United
States.
"The more tangible targets of the
NRA are daily becoming more vis
ible. The signing of agreements, the
preparation of codes, the general ac-
ceptance of the principles of collect
i've bargaining, the adoption of max
imum hours and minimum wages are
daily approaching solution. But be-
fore we know it, we will be faced with
the problem, the most intangible of
ell today, of millions of hours of leis-
ure This may we'll become the great
est problem of all, and it is with this
in mind that | have appointed this
effect the lives of 120,O00,0O0 people
of this nation for the years to come" "
In addition to Whalen and Davis,
the committee is composed of Morse

Water Mills Disappear;
Now Relics of the Past

Throughout Europe, as well as
America, the multitude Of quaint little
grist mills which are run by water
are fast becoming relics of the past,
writes q correspondent in the Path
finder Magazine. In Jugoslavia 1t has
been the custom to perch tiny mill
or even series Of such mills In the
middle of small stream.
This reduces the cost of the plant,
as the mills are exceedingly simple.
They consist Of little more than big
box, set up on stilrs right over the
water. The -four is Of the genuine
whole wheat" type, as 1t is not even
sifted.
Such mills, though very picturesque,
are not efficient, as they produce such
a small amount of -four. Their use is
being discontinued In localities where
other and more modern power can be
had. Electric current has been intro
duced very widely where there Is wa
ter power, and Of course gasoline mo-
tors are used to large extent.

JUST TEMPORARY
President Tells Union Heads
of Navy Pay Cuts

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-The
action of the navy department plac-
ing civilian workers in the navy
yards on fve-day week, with a more
than corresponding reduction in pay,
is considered by President Roosevelt
a temporary measure, John P. Frey,
secretary-treasurer OF the metal
trades department, American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has informed metal
trades workers.
The information was received by
Mr.. Frey at a recent interview with
the president. Joseph A. Franklin,
president of the International Broth
erhood of Boiler Makers, Iron Ship
Builders and Helpers of America, ac-
companied Mr.. Frey and joined him
in protesting against the navy de-
partment's action. The navy yard
workers have been working a five
and half day week. Under the
navy department order, their week
will be cut half a day but they will
lose a days pay.
"An interview lasting more than
half an hour was held with President
Roosevelt" Mr.. Frey said, during
which the president evidenced keen
interest in the facts which were pre-
sented. He assured US the action
taken by the navy department was,
in any event, purely temporary in
character. He indicated his interest
by asking numerous questions and ar
ranged to have the matters presented
to him given immediate attention.
There is no doubt but what our
protests are well-founded, for the
well-considered policy of the Fedora

OLDEST
|. I. u. Member Is 95

Indianapolis (ILNS)-The secre-
tary-treasurer's office of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union has COM
pleted tally of the membership of
the union as to age, continuous men,
bership and year of eligibility for the
old age pension. The survey discloses
that the honor of being the oldest

now member of st. Paul Typograph-
ical Unuion No. 80. Mr.. Wilson was
born February 6, 1889, and has con-
tinuous membership from 1861. 1t is
probable he has the longer continuous
membership of any member of the
organization. The second oldest mem
Der of the union was found to be
Gustavus o. Austin, a member OF
Wankesha (Wis.) Typographical
Union No. 545 Mr.. Austin was born

Tusks of Mammoths

Because OF their finer texture and
distinctive "old ivory" pallor the well
preserved tusks OF the ancient hairy
mammoth are more valuable than ele-
phant ivory. Eskimo hunters and
white gold miners in Alaska have
reaped valuable harvest from the
tusks Of the prehistoric mammoths
they have uncovered along the per-
petually frozen ground of the Arctic
coast. Such tusks have proven even
greater source Of profit to prospec-
tors In Siberia, from which region 1t
Is estimated that the tusks of approx
imately 10000 mammoths have
reached the worlds ivory markets
since Siberia has been under the con-
troll of the Russians.

Throwing the Voice."
Art in VentriIouuism

A popular fallacy among boys and
girls is that certain gifted persons can
throw their voices"; that is, can
speak In their throats or chests and
make the sound of their voices appear
to be coming from another source.
Such thing is Impossible.
ventriloquism is an art; it is not
magic. Almost anyone can become a
ventriloquist by patient practice. The
ventriloquist you see on the stage does
not throw his voice; he merely talks
without moving his lip or face mus
cles, and az the dummy's mouth moves
simultaneously, 1t seems to the audi
ence that the voice is thrown" into
the dummy.
A very expert yentriloquist, how
ever, can make 1t appear that his
voice Is coming from some distant
point, though not from any specific
point. He muffles the voice so that 1t
sounds far away. BY directing atten-
ton to certain object, then muffling
the voice, an illusion can be created
that the voice came from the indi-
Gated point.
II you want to practice ventrilo-
quism, stand before mirror and try
to say words and sentences without
moving a muscle Of your face. The
lips should be slightly parted. You'll
find you can say most words pretty
aSflv with q little nra ctice hut words
beginning with or containing b. t, m,
p, or are hard to pronounce without
closing the lips for a second. Even
these letters though can be made to be
understood by throat intonations.-

TWO RIVAL
Garment Unions End Long
Standing Dispute

Washington, d. c. tILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, on August 18
announced the settlement of the long
standing union jurisdictional difficult
ties in the mems garment industry.
AS a member of the MIRA Labor Ad-
visory Board and the National Labor
Board, he issued the following state
ment:
"An understanding was reached
between T. A. Rickert, of the United
Gament Workers, and Sidney Hill
man, of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers organizations which termi-
mated the jurisdictional controversy
which heretofore divided the two or
carnations into two separate groups.
This means future peace and cooper
alton between the organizations which
exercise jurisdiction in the mems and
boys clothing manufacturing indus
try"
Congratulations of the National
Labor Board on the settlement were
expressed by Acting Chairman Lee
Wolman. He explained that the mat.
ter had come before the board in con
nection with the strike of shirt work
ers in Pottsville, Pa. Conferences
were arranged between the two gar
ment unions with the result announc
ed by Green. DR.. Wolman said tha
the board felt long step had beer
taken toward bringing peaceful con
ditions and orderly government to th'
industry.
Terms of the agreement betweel
the two garment workers organiza
tions were not made public, bu
enough was learned to indicate tina
each will hold the shops it now con
trolls, with something like a 50-5'
split on shops now unorganized.

We can't go on being oppressed by
the machine. Something will have to
be done about it.
Man is a reasoning animal. 1t is
hard to believe it when you look at
the world today. There is not much
evidence Of reason in the present sit
uation of the human race.
Nevertheless it is true that man
possesses the power of reasoning, and
that he makes some use of it. Is it
not unthinkable, therefore, that he
will much longer permit himself to
be the slave, the victim, of thing
he has himself brought into being?
The machine has turned millions of
men into e1rudges.
They are not born to live but to
toll and at momentous tasks, in
which it is impossible to take any
deep-down interest-tasks that awak-
en- no creative impulses, and give no
esthetic satisfaction.
Nor is that the worst. The machine
renders other millions of men super
fiuous.
1t will not even allow them the
status of servitude.
Thus we have what is called the
unemployment problem. 1t is really
the problem of the machine.
And matters have come to such a
pass that we've either got to subdue
the machine or 60 right under to the
most degrading tyranny that mankind
has ever known.
Vast numbers of our species would
be better off if the mechanical achieve
ments of modern times were wiped
clean out of existence, and the clock
were put back to the age of handi-
craftsmanship.

PUBLIC MONEY
Must Give Jobs Quickly,
Says Ickes

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes, as public
works administrator, warned that al
lotments from the public works of
$3,300,000 must be used Immediately
to open up new jobs, so that idle men
may be "moved swiftly from relief to
payrolls."
Public works money, he declared,
must not be permitted to lie idle in
bank or treasury. The public works
program is, he added, "a back log in
the administrations recovery pro-
gram" and its purpose, which may be
quickly put into operation, is to put
men to work through direct action.

Color of Baby's Eyes

1t is not only possible, but says Path
finder Magazine, Is it Of quite common
occurrence for child to have brown
eyes If the eyes Of both parents were
blue. This would not be likely to oc-
cur II the different strains of the hu-
man race had been kept isolated for
centuries, but every person Of Euro
pean descent is almost sure to have
had both brOwn-eyed and blue eyed
ancestors. Blue eyes might run in the
families of both parents for several
generations, only to have the brown
eyed trait show itself after the brown
eyed ancestor had been forgotten. All
babies are born with blue eyes, but
many Of them soon change to other
shades.

A MECHANICAL DESPOTISM

That can't be done, and we would
MT do it if we could.
But the machine has got to be
broken to the service of mankind. 1t
has got to be used to minimize toll,
and put prosperity into every home.
That CAN be done, Steps must be
taken to ensure that it is.

TENSE FEELING
 PREVAILSCAPITOL

WASHINGTON, July IT. -Presi- dent Roosevelt's recovery program which has kept the wires humming for the. last several days with inn portant decisions centered aboard the yacht Sequoia over the week end. The president was expected to decide whether it was feasible to order maximum hours and mini mum wages for all American work CTS.
 Such an order would be temporary in force only until industry in gen. eral had adopted trade codes ac- ceptable to the recovery admins tration.
 The possibility of such an >rder overshadowed the other significant developments in Washington.

 QUITE UNWIELDY

LONDON, July IT. - Leaders of the World Economic Conference are mindful that "too many cooks spoil the broth" and have decided to recess July 27. The conference will not be reconvened in it's entirety.
 The belief that the barley should not be revived was voiced at this mornings meeting of the steering committee. There is a growing feel ing, in which at least some Am orleans concur, that the confer ence, at it is now constituted is so unwieldy it blocks it's own progress
 If, and when, the conference is brought to being again at Wash ington, London, Geneva, or else where, it's numbers will be Whittled down so that it will not take a census expert to keep track of things.

 Adding to the discomfort of the aged sportsman was the fact that he lost his pants in his hurried climb up the tree. MT. Dwyer in terrupted his angeling for trou long enough to pick up a cub he noticed edging up the creek. The cubs mother charged upon him.
 MT. Dwyer ran and reached a tree before the bear but she clawed him as he climbed, inflicting pain full scratches and pulling off his pants.

DARING PLIERS
 MET DEATH INV
 CRASH, EUROPE

NEW YORK, July IT. While the world is acclaiming the feats of the Italian air armada, Wiley Post, the Lindberghs and others, it must mourn the death of Stephen Dar- jus and Stanley Girenas, Lithuan- ians, who were killed when their New York-Lithuania bound plane crashed in Pomerania and killed both.
 Girenas and Darius were both 37 years of age, unmarried, and both were immigrants to the Unite d States. They desired to return to their homeland and had planned this for years. Both were transport pilots and solicited funds from their countrymen to buy the plane.
 Trans-ocean flying was new to them but they spent months study ing charts and grooming tn cir plane. When they left New York Saturday they told officials they were just going up after some more tests.
 The crash occurred at Kuhdham, five miles south of Soldin, in Pom erania. The aviators crashed when they atemted to land and mistook the tree tops for a meadow. The plane was discovered in the for est and the bodies were found un- der it. Police have left Berlin to take charge of the wreckage.

MILLIONS OF
 WORKERSGET
 HIGHER WAGES

WASHINGTON, July 17. - For nearly a million workingmen and women the depression is as good as ended for their wages have sud- denly been lifted back to the pur- chasing level of the better days by the voluntary cooperation of ln- dustry with the government. For several other hundreds of thou sands. perhaps millions, today held forth the hope of similar good luck. If fortune does not smile on the others today it will be in the inn mediate future.
 The textile workers, not only cot ton mill workers but also rayon, silk and allied products all over the North, South and West were back at the mills this morning on a 4O-hour work week schedule at rates of pay intended to give them the same purchasing power as they had in 1923.
 In the steel mills throughout the nation labor today was earning b per cent more than last week ana in some cases better.
 Countless other industries were getting ready to boost their wages back to the 1882 level as they pre- pared to submit the so-called codes of fair competition compacts by which the government allows them to regulate themselves in exchange for giving labor lift.
 That the promise of a real llV- ing wage to workers is near immln- ent realization is the result of the fruitful work of Hugh $. Johnson and his National R ec overy Act Corps. working under the direction of the Administration. This pro- gram is Presto e n t RooSelVelts $ handspring in his program for re- storing prosperity.
