Richest City in World
ChiseIS SIS a Day From
Fund for Sick Babies
By a WORKER CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK-The country home
for conYalescent babies at Sea Cliff,
L. L, accommodates about so babies
The city paid the institution S140
per child per day for their main
tenance. The new city administra-
ton, complains Mrs. w. D. Guthrie,
president of the home, cut the sum
to S1.15 per child per day. Every
child in the home, states Mrs.
Guthrie, is convslescing from seri-
Gus illness, and is undernourished
and emsciated. The cut Of the city's
subsidy aggravates the condition of
the sick babies.
A little arithmetic. The city pays
for one-third of the babies in the
home. The accommodation is so
children. So the city pays the in
stitution for, let us say, 20 children.
The economy is there for 20 quarters
a day, a round sum of S. day.
The richest city Of the richest
country in the world economies,
saves IS a day on the sick babies.
Mrs. Guthrie also complains that
because OF the economic crisis, dona-
tons to the home greatly decreased.
The idle rich spend thousands,
millions of dollars on luxurious
parties, balls, etc., despite the eco
nomic crisis. The Astor boy has
just spent a million and half on
presents to his bride, despite the
crisis, and the Astor boy is one of
many.
Millions of dollars are collected
in the name of the poor and sick.
Where does that money go?
just one instance. A small orphan
asylum paid $4,000 a year and COM
plete maintenance, including a pri-
vate maid, to its supervisor,
young f1apper girl, friend of the
president, who eventually married
her.
Only in Soviet system will the
workers and their children get all
they need, and not in the form of
charity, but as their right.

The Cleveland District also shows
a considerable purchase of PAM

A. F. of L. RAISING FUNDS TO
COMBAT RADICALISM

Buffalo, N. Y.
If any more proof is needed of
the collision between the A. F. of L.
and the owners of industry, come
to Buffalo.
The Central Labor Council thru
its paper, the Central Labor Council
Herald, is carrying on campaign
for funds to combat the growing
tide of radicalism among the rank
and file. The method used is tele-
phone appeal to the business men
to advertise in the Herald. I'VE rep
resent the conservative elements"
says the voice, you are the only
ones that we can call on combat
the rising tide of radicaliSm in the
rank and file union mombers. II we
do not weed out the radicals at the
coming state convention to be held
here in Buffalo, the union may fall
into bad hands. If you come along
and help us now to fight the radical
elements, you will be amply repaid
in the future"
This is the samc union leadership
that has helped to defeat every
strike movement in the city of Buff
falo. A worthy recommendation to
present to the business men of
Buffalo. Verify, these are men who
can do their jobs well
Is this the kind of leadership that
we workers of Buffalo and America
want? Most certainly not!

suit by leading the jack.
Now if East would refrain from
winning this heart trick until the
third round, the declarer would
be forced to lead a diamond to
get into dummy to make the two
long hearts, and would have to guess
whether to take the f1nesse.
He would probably play for a
break in the diamond suit, in which
case the contract would be defeated
But when East wins this trick

four discardS.

Now the declarer can get a per-

When you belittle men you feel

Behind your TRADE is feeling
Of deep encouragement with your
own ability to attract and hold a
worthwhile man. Instead Of
tackling the job in a direct, cour-

self sufficiently interesting, you

gaining for yourself a sort of
spurious superiority.
admit that some of your points
are funny. and well-taken when
applied to the great average male,
but after all your observations are
superficial and confined to one
group. They do more to reveal
the fact that you have set goal
which you have no hope of reach
ing, than they do to instruct
young women in winning man
with whom they can enjoy an in
tense reciprocal companionship.
In other words. failing to get at
tention by pleasant methods, you

easier picking. He wants young
er woman to take care Of him
when he is feeble. If he cheWs
tobacco you must look happy
about that. I lost my first pros
pect by telling him when he pro-
posed that I diSliked man to
chew. He became eStranged from
me and I was broken-hearted. If
you encounter a setback like that
remember there are millions more
men in the world and perhaps
some of them do not chew to-
bacco.
Select a victim with plenty Of
money. If he wants to kiss you,
look delighted. If his mustache
sticks your nose, look delighted.
If he puts his arm around you,
put your arm around him. If
you're asked to join in the drink
ing, you must refuse, as if you are
drunk you might forget to regis
ter delight at his antics. Besides
your drinks will cost him some
money and he will not be so glad
to have an expensive wife. Never
express annoyance over his drink
ing nor tell any friend about it
who will make disparaging re-
marks about the prospect.
# there IS any question as to
your virtue, you must see that he
understands you are virtuous. Of
his virtue you must never Ques-
ton, and if you find he is not
virtuous your cue is to look de-
lighted.
If the prospect sWears, you must
never mention the fact to him or
any one else. you needn't swear
yourself unless you feel like it,
and then you must never swear
at the prospect or anything he
likes. If the prospect is inter
ested in anything, you must be
even more interested in it than he
is, even if it happens to be an
other woman. Never see anything
but virtue in her. Never talk of
her in disparaging way but al
ways see her beauty of face, mind
and body.
If the prospect smokes, look
happy and run find him a match.
Never inquire how much he
spends for tobacco. Never ask
the men to do anything disagree
able. Ask him to eat a piece of
cake, or have a drink of water,
come sit by the fire, or swing in
the shade, and if a disagreeable
situation comes up, take the blame
yourself Show him you always
keep the house clean, but never
know he brings in mud. In gen.

SQUAWK.
Answer-Your instruction would
be remarkably effective on a type
of male that is fast becoming a
back number. On the whole be-
lieve men are hungrier for COM
pionship than you give them cred
it for, and that they demand
more brains in their women than
formerly.
I suppose every man has a Sc
cret ideal of an uncritical and
adoring woman who will accept
him as he is without demanding
1nconvenient changes in his hab-
it's. He still has a preference for
the leading role in love and pre-
fers the woman willing to give it
to him. But I believe he de-
mands more than a nit-wit smile
from a typical yes" woman.
What your letter, reveals is a
deep-seated envy of men and
what you conceive to be their adj
vantage in life. You are not sat-
isf1ed with the feminine role

inferior. Your method of estab-
fishing VOUr own prestige is to
