AVOID BAD APPEARANCES

When you are faced with the
question of doing something legl-
innate that looks to be iiiegltl-
mate. or something that you are
Justified in doing, but which APP
pears to ibe unjustifiable, you
had better watch out.
For instance, a big telephone
company that operates over a
very large territory will install
for you telephone with SIX
foot cord and make no extra
charge for the cord. But if you
want a nine-foot cord, you must
paw a dollar and half add ional
and if you need thirteen-foot
cord, you must hand over two
dollars and a half additional.
That telephone company eN'
plains these seemingly inexpli,
cable charges by declaring that
extra ilength cords cause extra
trouble; that they are more like

CHICKEN POX

Chicken box is very contagl-
Gus disease, mostly Of children
between one and seven years old,
which is charactized by the APP
pearance of blisters pretty much
all over the body. 1t can occur
in grown-ups; but what looks like
chicken-pox in such instances
may very possible by smallpox
if the i'll person has
not been vaccinated recently.
Serious epidemics of smallpox
are sometimes allowed to get
dangerous Roadway as a result
of this mistake in diagnosis.
Because a child is not neces-
sarily very i'll when the blisters
of chicken-pox appear, many
folks do not bother to cal. the
doctor. 1t is safest not to take
chance: but to have the piysi-
clan see the child at least once,
in order to avoid mistaken dia-
gnosis.
As chicken-pox causes consid-
cradle itching, 1t is well TO De on
guard against the serious results
that may ensue if the blisters are
broken by scratching. This can
lead to infection-c ON m ON y
known as blood-poisoning. Bet
ter protect large blisters with a
wet-dressing, especially if they
cause much itching.
There is no specific inocula-
ton or vaccination that will pro-
test against chicken-pox. Clean
illness of the hands, avoidance of
close face-to-face contacts, such
as occurs ! in crowded school
buses, and prompt quarantine,
are the only safeguards that we
posses against this disease. Mott
fly the school; and keep the chill
dren home until you are sure.

velope. ''s

RED SQUAD FRAMES
MILITANT MARINER

SEATTLE, Aug. 80 William
Howe, MWIU member, is Strike
breaker Smiths latest Ted
squad victim. He was arrested
Tuesday by red squad officer
Neusher and thrown in Jail pend
ing investigation on charges of
beating up men who scabbed
during the waterfront strike.
No evidence whatever was
found against Howe, except that
"he looked sleepy" as he might
have if he had been up nights in
timidating scabs. He was held
until Thursday before hearing
was had.
Neusher suggested that the
case be postponed until the scab
return and see if he could iden-
tify Howe as the man beating
him. Judge Bell. granted Neush-
er's request, postponed the trial
80 days, placed Howe's bail at
800 cash or spend 80 days in Jail
waiting for the scab's return.
The International Labor De-
Tense requests all working class
organizations to send committees
to Judge Bell and protest the un-
just decision, demand that the
case be dismissed. If this is re-
fused demand that the bail be
dropped and Howe be released
on his personal recognizance.

Upton Sinclair's Epic Plan

tiOns regarding the economic Or
der, with which this ex-sOcialist
has sprinkled his pages, and con-
centrate on the most dangerous
and treacherOus elements that
are half concealed by deceptive
phraseolOgy.
In the first place the EPIC
plan is ridiculous because it is
a thing logically impossible to
put in operation. Impossible be-
cause economic and political
facts are facts, not things that
can be wished away. In this plan
it is proposed to solve the con-
tradictiOns of capitalism by hav-
ing the state seize tax-delinquent
land and to buy closed down, OBJ
solete factories and set the I'M
employed to work farming and
manufacturing,
To finance this, Sinclair admits,
hundreds of millions will be re-
quired. Where is the money to
come from? Easy! Sell small
bonds to the starving unemploy-
ed, and big bonds to big bankers
and capitalists Up. 22).
All this will be very simple.

prepares to sieze the Chinese
Eastern Railway and plunge the
world into war.
The imprisoned Russians are
employees of the railway, jointly
owned by ManchukuO and the

Negotiations have been in
progress for purchase of the
railway by Japan. Following its
consistent peace policy, the So
Wet Union has made every
concession. The price has been
lowered from the real cost of
the road, 625, 100000 yen to 100
000, 900 yen. The japanese offer
but 100000 900 yen.
Over the difference (about $l0,-
100000 in American money, the
Japanese and Manchurian rep
resentatives have broken off ne
gOtiatiOns and threaten war.
Proof that the militarist rul-
