There has been quite a discussion
in the newspapers concerning the
charging for meals of the employees
of hotels and restaurants.
Knowing that the papers have the
restaurant mems views on the mat
ter I take this liberty of giving you
the views of the workers them
selves.
I have been an employe Of this
industry in this city since the fall
Of 1908 Have worked in some of
the leading places. I never was
and 1 don't know of a single case
where an employe was charged for
meals. OF course. some of the res
taurant owners base their pay roll
on the value of the food the en-
ploye eats and some of them place
the value on the food more than
they do on the actual cash they
pay the employee.
For the last three years there have
been employees paio as low as $3.50
a week for eighty-four hours.
Last race day I worked with an
extra cook at a well-known res
taurant downtown and he put in
about forty-one hours straight time
in the kitchen, for which he received
81 in cash. Surely the manager had
a food value that this man con-
sumed far above the cash he paid
him.
I volunteered to organize the
cooks and walters union. One Of
the first obstacles that I encoun-
tered was an employer who dis
charged two mattresses for joining
the union.
Now, all We ask of any one is
square deal under the NRA. We
intend to do our part in the gov
eminent program, and We are 60
ing TO see that the chiSelers are re-
ported TO Mr.. Wells as fast as they
are reported to US Our members
are bringing in complaints every
day.

happy I was to receive your
beautiful letter, with your sweet

like to make is that you
shouldn't crowd your pages SO
much. especially when you
have two pages left over. I'm
glad to see that you do not use

Everybody uses cotton. That
is perhaps it's reason for being
so smart. It's not only a utility
textile this year, but it's one Of
the smarteSt. 1t appears on the
field of sports, in town for
street wear, in the afternoon
for tea or bridge, and on the
ballroom floor. It is chosen
by people who like it for rea-
sons of economy, and by those
who can afford to wear any
thing. for it is iD the same class
as silk or wool, fashionably
speaking. And it can be as
striking in a = costume as any
other fabric. If you don't believe
so, study our photograph of
Norma Talmadge, posing in a
whole costume of cotton.
Pique Accessories
Pique makes everything in
sight that Miss Talmadge wears,
though her dress is of plain
blue linen. The coat is a blue
and white checked pique, and
the accessories are of plain
white pique. Although linen has
cut in on the popularity of
pique to some extent, it is still
smart, and will be seen all sum-
mer for both costumes and &C
ceSsories. The hat shown is a
simple sailor, and is priced only
81, as are the gloves and scarf.
The gloves have mesh fingers
and palm, so that they will
stretch comfortably, but pre-
serve their pique appearance on
top. The scarf is a simple AS
cot. to be worn with coats, suits
or dresses. The bag is a Upper
pouch, roomy and simple in de-
sign. 1t is priced $1.95, and the
coat is only $2.95. 1t comes in
brown and white also, or you
can get plain white coats for
the same price.
This Is Cotton Week
We saved this picture of Miss
Talmade for today, because
this is the first day of National
Cotton Week. You may ask
what that means to you. It
means several things. For your
self, the stores have complete
stocks of cottons in nearly all
departments. For the nation
as a whole. it means step on
the way up, for the cotton in
dustry is not only an American
institution, but it is a healthy
one. 1t has weathered the de-
preston admirably, and has
pulled itself up by the boot
straps. And because we all use
cottons, it will no doubt go on
up and up.

Helpful Hints for
Housewives

Because energy is chiefly de-
rived from sugars and starches,
we should not overlook the fact
that a sweet at breakfast is
one of the best ways of provid-
ing fuel for the days work.
Sweet cakes and sugar cookies
are good to serve, for they are
neither too heavy nor too light.
Potatoes purchased in small
amounts should be sorted and
picked over on their arrival.
Keep the large ones to bake
and use the small ones to boil
in their jackets.
Scald and dry orange peels
and grind them into a coarse
powder. This may be used to
flavor cakes, sauces, puddings,
etc. Lemon peels may also be
used in the same way.
For a change in the flavor of

maple syrup instead of sugar.

What stirs one individual to
the very depths of his emotional

unmoved. During the portrayal

whereas, majority of the audi

In other words, because all
of us more or less live the story
that is unfolded before our eyes,
and actually identify ourselves
with the characters of it-these
two factors having an import
ant bearing on why we go to

true that We can learn a lot
about ourselves simply by OBJ

Bidding went: South, one
spade; West, two hearts; North,
double; South, two spades;
West, three diamonds; North,
four clubs; South, four spades,
doubled by East, ending bid
ding.
West led his Ace of dia-
monds, followed by the nine,
to beat dummy. East haN to
play his 10. South won with
his false-carded K. The Ace
of spades won the third trick,
and East's K of spades took
the fourth trick. East led his
lone Q of hearts. Dummy's
Ace won, upon that trick the
declarer discarded his seven of
diamonds. The sixth and
seventh tricks were won with
dummy's Ace and K of clubs.
East won the eighth trick. with
his Q of clubs. He held four
losing spades and one losing
club. His side had won only
three tricks. What was he to
do? If he led a spade the
declarer's four spades and his
good diamond must give him
his game contract doubled.
If East led a club the dummy
would be in the lead and both
East and the declarer would
have to trump. East led a
trump, thinking it possible that
the declarer held a losing dia-
mond. Of course South spread
his hand for game.
AS a matter of fact, Vests
opening lead of his Ace of
diamonds was about the only
defensive play that could en-
able South to go game. That
lead established two good dia-
monds in the declaring hand,
and later on the declarer was
able to discard his only re-
naming losing diamond upon
dummy's Ace of hearts. Laying
down an Ace of a long suit,
and frequently of a short suit,
is about as poor an opening
as can be made.
Because East held the miss
ing @ of hearts an opening lead
of a low heart wulod have de-
feated the hand, but North's
double led West to believe that
dummy held the missing heart
honors, and that an opening
lead of that suit might prove
fatal. He was not to blame
for refusing to make that
opening lead. Nor was West
to blame for not realizing
that an opening lead of a low
diamond would also have de-
feated the contract. West
should have led a low trump.
That would also have defeated
the contract, as then the de-
clarer must have lost two
tricks in diamonds, also one
trump and one club trick. To
morrow we will consider what
could have been done at clubs.

The Beauty
Box

If the big party is on, and
you would have your little
hands velvet smooth, try using
a little vanishing cream on the
backs of them; it furnishes
nice flower petal finish, won't
rub off when you sit in at the
bridge game. At night massage
hands with COCO butter. Very
soothing.
Touch a wart with castor oil
every day, rubbing in gently.
Chances are it will depart in
a state of disgust. Warts as a
rule are harmless. But if one
suddenly appears with edges
broken, showing rapid growth,
seek the services of a medical
man who attends to such
blemiSheS. The little stranger
is a senility wart, sometimes
malignant.

The Old Woman

The Old Woman
Do you know what the old wom-
an sees
In a chair, in a table,
In the little red rocker that
stands
Near the west rooms low gable?
Do you know what she hears
with the clock:
Tick-tock, slow; tick-tock, fas-
ter?
Can you sense what it brings
to her ears
OF delight or disaster?
And the sun-dial that stands by
the gate,
Can you guess at it's meaning?
All, none save the old woman
sees
Two young lovers there, lean
ing!
To the old woman only they
speak;
Every worn, loved belonging
Means more than the thing in
itself,
Rich with memories thronging.
Do you feel how the old woman
clings
To her Dresden and pewter?
These are part of the days Of
her youth,
So let no one dispute her!

The antagOnlStlC grunt OF
policeman hot upon a case
came from Mulrooney. We'll
go upstairs and talk this over"
he said shortly.
They followed him back into
the theater and up the softly
carpeted steps to the tragic
area behind the balcony. Cava-
naugh's fingers frightened on
Leni's arm.
"He's going to make you look
at Kruger's body" he whispered.
Don't get upset-let me do
the talking"
Leni was white around the
mouth, but her inner self was
gaining strength from Cava-
naugh. She seemed utterly un-.
ruffled.
I'll not break down." she as
Sured him from dry throat.
She had the curious feeling
that by keeping steadfast she
was aiding Cavanaugh. Her
own troubles had reached
state of numbness. Only a few
minutes before she had been
totally resigned to the aban-
donment of her whole career.
The intervening time had been
too short for a renewal of joy
Gus ambition. For herself moth
ing mattered very much now
she had an intuition that Cava-
naugh in some way was con-
nected with Kruger'S death.
For herself she was quite will
ing to throw up the sponge.
It made a difference, though,
when somebody else-Cavanaugh
was involved. 1t was not
that she loved him. Not that
but she had a feeling he was
indescribably nicer than any
man she had ever known.
Ahead of them Mulrooney
stopped at certain door, flung
it open and stood aside for
them to enter.
Thus it was that Leni and
Cavanaugh went into the room
now brightly lighted that was
bristling with activity. Four
or five men, unmistakably de-
tectives, were examining the lit
ter from the exploded safe.
They we're talking about finger
prints and awaiting the arrival
of an expert. An acrid odor
was in the air-the aftermath
Of nitro -glycerine.
II Don't Know Him"
No one seemed to pay any
attention to Karl Kruger who
lay on his back where he had
fallen. In death there was
slight expression of surprise
upon his pallid face.
II want both of you to take
a god look at that man." said
Mulrooney, 'and tell me if you
ever saw him before"
Cavanaugh gazed down at
the body and shrugged his
broad shoulders in their impec-
cable dinner coat. His express
sion was entirely without curl
osity.
II never saw the man in my
life" he said curtly.
With Leni Luneska it was not
so easy to look down upon the
inert figure. Kruger wore no
vest. His dark coat had fallen
open and on his whitish shirt
was splotch the color of a
dark red rose.
The thought passed through
her mind that Kruger in death
had the advantage. He had
escaped - nothing more would
happen to him. No heartache,

Advice To
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

His Brother Got into Trouble
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in love with a very nice
young man, but my folks ob-
Ject because his older brother
got mixed up with the wrong
crowd and has been put in
reformatory. Do you think I
am doing wrong in going with
this man whom I love? Will
I be talked about By my friends
as going with a convict's
brother?" Well, that's what
my people say will happen. I've
been going with him for eight
months, and it would be hard
for me to ever give him up.
ANXIOUS.
If the boy you go with is
creditable and self-respecting, I
can't see how either of you
could be held accountable for
his brothers faults. Many
years of newspaper work help
me to recall a multitude of
glittering headliners who have
relatives in jails and reform
atories, and others with rela-
tives who should be in such
places, but aren't. The most
that can be expected of us is
to keep our own hands clean.
We are not our brothers
keeper, as a great authority has
said.

Announcing a Secret Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:

I have a very different af-

married two years ago. No
one knows of it. Now we have
our home ready, and wish to
announce it.. We both have
loads of friends, and we realize
that it must be done in the
correct manner. My husband
is in business. How should his
firm be told of this? Thank
you, and please know I will ap-
preciate anything you do to
help me. LEE.
Better have your husband
tell the members of his firm
that you were married on such
and such date. To your more
intimate friends, write personal
letters and give the date and
place of the marriage.
If your circle of friends is
very large you can send out

ment that Miss Mary Smith
and Mr.. Thomas Jones were
married on June 3, 1881.
