POWER IN THE RESTAURANT

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Chicago Worlds Fair is that show
ing power at work in the modern restau-
rant.
The restaurant, which is shown in
one-quarter size model, has a fifty-seat ca
pacity, the chairs being arranged about
U-shaped counter, precisely as in the av-
erage sandwich shop of today But it is
very different from that shop in its equip
ment. In the center are food storage cab
inets-refrigerating units with glass fronts
through which foods, temptingly arranged,
may be seen, and electric warming ovens
Above this equipment is concealed light
ing system that represents months of pa
tient work by electrical experts and artists.
1t casts an even white light upon the count
ter so that each guest has abundant shad-
owless illumination without the slightest
glare. From the same source light rises
to play in restful changing colors ON the
entire ceiling of the room.
In the rear of the restaurant is q model
electric grill where food is prepared in
full view of the diners. Due to scientific
design and electric air-condtioning, guests
are cool and comfortable and unbothered
by cooking odors
This restaurant is emblematic of two
of the principal features electricity offers
the northumberland efficiency and a
more attractive display from the custo-
mer's standpoint. The prosperous shop
and restaurant and store of the future will
be the one where most is done to present
goods in tempting manner. The electri-
city at work exhibit at the Worlds Fair
gives us an insight into the commercial es-
adjustments of tomorrow.

APPENDICITIS AGE Is

The age at which most people develop
appendicitis is in their twenties, with q
preponderance of cases occurring about the
age of 25, according to DIR, Roland Nj. Har-
per, who has studied 267 cases treated in
a hospital with which he has been in close
touch
While the ages of patients ranged from
to 65 years the average was %, for

IN city or country.
DIR. Harper points out that this find
ing closely agrees with the statistics of
hospitals in various parts of the country
and may be taken as fair average for the
entire population.
Appendicitis, he says, il evidently 4
disease which generally attacks persons in
the prime of life. like tuberculosis and IT,
phoid fever Except in relatively small
percentage Of eases. it rarely attacks the
very young or those past middle age.
Those over so years OF age are rare
" troubled with appendicitis. but as there
are exceptions. everyone should be on the
alert to detect symptoms Of the disease

cidedIy Polish accent. This greatly
hindered matters.
Finally we agreed upon former
officer. Tall and slender, with
military bearing acquired during
several years service in the army
he seemed to have been born to
play the role of a captain Of gen.
darmes.
az am much afraid, though, he
won't take the job" ventured "An~

knew him well.
I visited him the next day. He
started at me as If l were a lunatic

moon.
What's the matter with youl
Have you taken leave Of your
senses? It's foredoomed to be 9
failure. I don't intend to commit
suicide ,... not for anything"
GREATLY discouraged by this re-
u ply, / went to see another man,
whom we had only casually men
toned in our previous discussion.
He was known as "Yur." We
were not much attracted to him,
He was a sentimental, romantic
nature, a typical representative OF
the dreaming intelligensia, poorly
verSed in the vital questions agita-
ting the Party. The revolutionary
wave of 1905 swept him into the
revolutionary turmoil, but he was
borne on its crest not by his own
convictions, but merely by the
mighty surge of the revolution. He
was floating with the stream. We
were quite sure that as soon as the
revolutionary wave subsidized he
would again settle down to wallow
in the petty-bourgec is nlire. But
just now the wave OF revolution
was surging mountain high.
GOING TOO FAR"
I told him briefly what the po-
sition was. He got excited.
''Ten men in danger, did you
say? Awaiting deathI How dare
they commit such an outrage?
That's going too farl"
listened patiently to his excla-
nations, hoping that he would fl
nally get down to brass tacks. But
his imagination was caught by the
idea of the imminent execution Of
ten men, rather than by the plan to
rescue them. He kept repeating:
"Ten men ten men, as If in
a daze.
The urgency OF my call compelled
rue to press my point somewhat
brusqely.

PARTY LIFE
Some Things inMy
Unit That Have
Been P1.zzling Me-

The following is written by q
Negro cOmrade, . woman worker,
Section 4, New York;.
THERE is something that has
been puzzling me since I be-
came a member of the Party, and
that is the role of the "Ieading
comrades from downtown" in
their respective units. This COM
rade that 1 have in mind, makes it
his business to monopolize the
whole meeting in Unit 422 giving
us his proposals and recommended
tions on how the party work should
be carried out. He quotes Marx and
Lenln to stress the Importance of
each member accepting his assign
ment. Nobody is allowed the floor
much to offer suggestions for 1t
seems as if to him nothing is i'm
portant except what he has to say.
II We are doing work in mass or
CARNATIONS or in our unions that
must be put aside in order to fol-
low his proposals, recommendations
and the assignments that are so
important to carry out.
Since the work is so important to
carry out and there is only one good
Bolsheyik way to carry it out and
this conrade seems to know this
way, naturally we ask him to accept
a place on the working committees.
No, that is not to be his work
down town is too important to
neglect in order to work in his
unit Now, how does that affect
the unit as whole? 1t is a de-
c1ded let-down. Immediately our
work in mass organizations and
trade unions becomes such that we
can not accept any more assign
ments and as a result the whole
unit meeting is spent listening to
these unit members giving excuses
as to why they can not possibly do
any more work and of course lis
tenlng to our very dictatorial lead
ing comrade from down town." who
cannot himself do any work but
can only dictate.
L sincerely 1eel that We need the
political maturity of this comrade.
We need him to guide US in our
assignments, but / feel that he
should keep himself in the back
ground as much as possible and al
low us to make our own suggestions,
proposals and recommendations
When we are wrong or need guild
ance as to the line of the Party,
then, feel that he should come to
the forefront and help us. En-
courage us when we accomplish
something and do not minimize our
work. Spur us on to greater vic
make our unit more interesting
tories and in that way he will help
and will be developing those of us
who are not as advanced politically
as he is in order that each one of
us may really become the van
guard Of the working class in Anne

How Socialist Leaders Flight y
for Unemployment Insurance

avalanche OF discomfort inside the
A. F. of L. crystallizing in the sup
port Of the A F. of l.. Committee
for Unemployment Insurance,
Green changed" his position. He
became eloquent and demanded
unemployment insurance for the
hungry workers. When, however,
the 30-hor week came to the fore,
Green forgot" about unemploy-
nent insurance. But as the New
Leader states, In many states
these measures will be before the
legislatures" What are these bills?
Do they, as the New Leader says:
care for the whole working class,
organized and unorganized?" To
say so is simply to lie.
WHAT are the features OF all
w these bills, introduced i'll Wis
consln and supported by the So
cialistS; introduced in New York.
and SUPPORTED by Mr.. John Sulli-
van, of the New York State FEEDER
alton Of Labor; in Connecticut and
supported by John Eagan, Of the
State Federation of Labor? They
are bills which do not care for
Single one of the 1e,009,0OO now
unemployed. Let Messrs. O'NeaI,
Hillquit or Thomas derry it. The
army of unemployed now tramping
the streets and starving, will not
get one penny of unemployment in
surance. Not all of those who now
work part time or full time will
get unemployment insurance if
ths : are fired in the future. Work
ers i'll small shops are not Gov
cred; agricultural and domestic
workers are not included. The
worker must have worked q Ger
tain period for the concerll-from
26 to 40 weeks in q year; he must
wait two to three weeks before be-
ing entitled to insurance; no in
surance will be paid out until
certain fund is collected, in some
instances from the payroll (thus
being deducted from the wages, or
both from the payroll and the wage
envelope Of the worker. In Wis
consin it was proposed to put it
into effect in July of this year
but the governor is against it. In
New York and Connecticut it will
not go into effect till the crisis
is over %.
These are the bills that the A.
F. of L. leaders favor: these are
the bills that the Socialist Party
leaders support, on the deliberately
false declaration that these mea-
sures care for the whole working
class, organized and unorganized."
This is lie No. 2.
THIS partially explains why the
i Socialist Party has forgotten"

FOR WORKERS CHILDREN
AND ADULTS
Reviewed by EDWIN ROLFE.

SCb1CWOu Wy On1GN lie
THE February issue Of the New
Pioneer, referees the opinion
that it is without doubt one of the
best edited magazines in the move
ment.
Painstaking planning and atten-
ton to the peculiar and specific
needs OF its children-audience have
resulted in an achievement beyond
the magazines initial purpose:
adult workers, buying it for their
children, have themselves been so
impressed by the calibre of the
magazine that they have become
readers in their own right, and
q spread it among their friends
The February issue gives ample
proof Of the characteristics men
toned above. It's feature story is
the first inStallment of an auto
biography Of Emil Nygard, Commu-
mist mayor of Crosby, Minnesota,
entitled "Our First Mayor" It is
an excellent story, written with the
simplicity that has in the past
won huge adult audiences for many
bourgeois "children's classics"
CTORIES like 1.-THE Prize Winner
~ by Lillian Pollack, aged u, 1.-THE
March of Time" by Sasha Small
and playing the Came" by Phil
Wolfe adequately explain the wide
spread popularity of the New Pho
neer among children. All of them
are written with a hand on the
pulse of the magazines readers.
What Soviet Children Read" an
informative article by Ella Winter
who recently spent year in the
Soviet Union, should be of interest
to child and adult alike. A long
poem on the Scottsboro case, mine
