Chefs Like Copper
 Utensils For Work
Hotels, Clubs and Ocean Liners Insist on Special - Kitchen Equipment Popular With Housewives

Copper cooking utensils were first used by the housewives in the an- cient kingdoms of Babylonia, Chal- dea and Essyria, 2350 to 20O0 B. O After victories on the battlefield their warrior husbands would cut up oxen and sheep and the wives boil the joints in chaldron o1 copper or bronze. Commonly known as "seething pots" these ranged ir size up to the height of an ordinary man. Those belonging to the wealthy class were artistically decorated.
 While to Essyria is due the credit for the birth of the culinary art the recorded history of copper and bronze cooking utensils dates back to Egypt about 2320 B. c. Small game, birds and vegetables were the chief foods prepared by boiling in bronze caldrons. By the 18th lynasty, about 1900 B. O., the kitchen had become of major importance as is proved by more recent dis coveries of large paintings featur- Ing the bakery and kitchen.

 Throughout the middle ages the dse of copper for cooking utensils Aourished, and even in Europe to- day 1t is rare to see vessels of any other material in the home, from the peasants hut to the palaces of the aristocracy.
 When the early settlers came to this country they brought with them utensils made from this age-old metal. Later, whe the trail blazers started westward across this con- tinent, the pioneer women took with them, in covered wagons, their cop per cooking utensils many of which have been handed down from gen. eration to generation and are still being used for cooking purposes.
 New and artistic designs of shiny copper utensils and others in bright chromium on a base of copper have made them much in vogue with present day housewives. There are literally millions of cooking uten- sils of every description, from mod ern drip coffee pots on down to the old frying pan, being used by housewives and chefs in the United States each day. One of the larg- est manufacturers of copper cooking utensils predicts that his company will, during 1886, sell more than a million chromium-plated copper

Chefs Choice

Chefs Choice
 Famous chefs throughout the world, in hotels, clubs and on mod ern ocean liners, insist on having their kitchens equipped with cop- per, or chromium on a base of cop per, utensils. They point out that copper is the only metal which per- mits an even distribution of heat all over the utensil. The food, there- fore, canont stick or burn in one spot that is hotter than another, as the degree of heat is always the the same in all parts of the re- ceptacle. Copper also cools slowly and in a perfectly even manner. The result is that the food is more refined and there Is, besides, a sav- ing of fuel, especially for those delectable dishes that must simmer a long time on a slow fire. These inherent qualities of copper are openly proclaimed by all culinary authorities but are not appreciated by all housewives. Thus they are at g real disadvantage, the importance of which is usually under r-estimated. So, after many disappointments with other cooking utensil materials, the modern housewives of today are re- turning to the kitchen utensils used by their grandmothers and great grandmothers.

NOISE SURVEY PUZZLES

San Francisco (UP)-The city's efforts to find demarcation line between necessary and unnecessary noise demonstrated that at times San Francisco's street noises ran as high as 90 decibles which is comparable to the noise made by a steel riveter 35 feet away. Lack of funds made it impossible to find the demarcation line.

Wages Miserably Low

The wages paid to workers by the
Big Four are much like the prices
they paid for tobacco when they had
their own way.
Only two per cent of the receipts
of the big tobacco companies went in
wages. The Women's Bureau Of the
department of labor has found wo-
men working in the stemming plants
of these companies for as low as 9
cents an hour and So a week; and
the average wage in those factories is
under $6 a week.
Labor believes it is bad statesman
ship to levy a crushing burden on a
section of the tobacco industry which
treats both workers and farmers fair
", to tighten the monopoly Of the
Big Four, the most ruthless and sue
cessful gougers of both farmers and
workers.

ANOTHER
Economy" Drive Begun,
Babcock Asserts

Washington, D. c. (ILNs)-The
yearly campaign for economy in
the government service, usually de-
signed to reduce pay or personnel, has
been resumed in congress, President
E. Claude Babcoek, Of the American
Federation Of Government Employees,
warns.
"The economy advocates, as they
style themselves, are again pressing
their views on congress- Babcock
said "The agitation against boards
and commissions, a stereotyped ex-
preston meaning little if anything,
is under way once more. 1t is inter
esting that these same economizers,
when specifically questioned as to the
agencies they consider superfous,
usually take recourse to attacks on
the federal trade commission, the
Women's Bureau and the Children's
Bureau.

Supreme Court, in Effect, Once Held Safety of
present System of Government Rested On
Right of Factory Owners to Exploit Young
Children.

Every bungle that congress makes
is cried from the houstops. Every
mistake by a president is told and
analyzed But the errors and bungles
of the courts are like the mistaken
diagnosis of surgeons-they are bur-
led.
Yet nothing is more certain than
the fact that our courts, both state
and federal, have made their full
share of blunders, and some of those
blunders have had literally terrible
results. Child labor, for example, has
dragged its Shiny length across Amer
lean industry for years because
handful of Judges would not let con
gress abolish it, though the public
demand for the law which congress
passed was overwhelming.
A high proportion of judicial bun
giles is due to the overwhelming self
confidence, not to say conceit, of men
on the bench. In the expressive lam
guage of streets and shops and farms,
too many judges have Jehovah
complex" The series following will
present few such cases.

COMMITTEE TO
SEEK AGREEMENT
On Industrial Unionism
Issue

Miami, Fla. (ILNS)-A peace
seeking committee was named today
by President William Green, with ap-
proval of the A. F. of L. executive
council, this committee to undertake
conferences with the committee for
industrial organization.
Thus the situation regarding the
division Of opinion on this big issue
is entering new phase and one that
seems destined to lead to some con-
elusive development.
The committee consists of George
NJ. Harrison, president Of the railway
clerks; Joseph N. Weber, president of
the musicians, and G. NJ Bugniazet,
secretary of the electric workers.
There is reason to believe the nam
ing Of this committee may lead to
constructive results, and it can be
said that its membership enjoys a
large measure of confidence among
those with whom conference is to be
sought.
However, if there is this optimistic
opinion there also is opinion to the
effect that the council has rendered
judgment and that this judgment will
render efforts of the committee Of
little avail.
There is an inclination in many
quarters to regard the naming of the
committee as taking a good deal of
the sting out of the declaration
adopted by the council, and while
there has been comment that the coun-
Gil had a bouquet in one hand and
brick in the other, some are inclined
to think the bouquet will go further
than the brick. But nothing can be
regarded as achieved until after the
fact of achievement. The council dec
laration was approved BY a vote of
IL to 6.
1T is the opinion of the executive
council" said the declaration, that
the committee for industrial organiza-
tion should be Immediately dissolved,
that it should cease to function as
assembled reports facts and informa-
ton indicate, and that the officers of
the several organizations which con-
stitute the committee for industrial
organization cooperate fully with the
executive council in the application
and execution of the organization pol
icies adopted by an overwhelming ma
jority of the duly accredited delegates
who were in attendance at the con
vention of the American Federation
of Labor held in Atlantic City,

Federal Action Held Only
Way to Stop Child Labor

New Orleans (ILNs)-Child labor
that went out like flash" for a
brief period under the NRA, is now
widespread throughout the country,
members of the Young Women's
Christian Association were told by
c. C. Henson, who added that only
federal legislation can prevent the use
of children in sweatshops.
"Those who object to removing
children from industry talk of states
rights" he said. Child labor car
never be called state problem as
long as one state using child labo,
can export into another state goods
made cheaper than those made where
child labor is prohibited"

SOCIAL SECURITY
Declared Not ViolatOr OF
State Rights

Philadelphia (ILNS)-There is no
truth III the oft-repeated charge that
the SOCIAL security act violates the ira
dition of state rights, Frank Bane,
executive director of the Social Secur-
| ity Board, told the Public Charities
| Association of Pennsylvania here.
IF we eliminate the old age ben
efts section of the act, which pro-
vides for an eventual system of fed
| eral old age annuities-eliminate
that one section of the act," Mr.
Bane said, "and you will see that all
the rest Of the social security act is
little more than an enabling statute.
Under it, the federal government
develops a pattern for handling GER
tain functions of government, it ap-
propriates certain funds, and it es-
tablshes Social Security Board for
the administration of these funds.
But no one of the services dealt with
in the social security act--other than
federal old age benefits-can become
effective in the states unless the
states themselves SO elect.
In other words, there is no such
thing as old age assistance, no such
thing as unemployment compensation
or aid to dependent and crippled chill
dren in a state unless the state itself
chooses to provide these services for
its people, in which event the federal
government under certain conditions
will pay large part of the costs.
But the state administers within its
boundary the various services out
lined in the social security act.
Each state decides for itself who
is entitled to aid; the state decides
how much aid shall be given to needy
persons; the state decides in its own
act how long the unemployed worker
shall receive unemployment compen-
sation benefits
After summarizing the act to show
what it purports to do and how it
will do it, Bane said:
THE act endeavors- express it
simpIy-to devise ways and means
for giving assistance to those Of our
fellow citizens most in need, to es-
tablish method by which workers
who have been employed in their
/ 1yo,,nn aYg ra,.od,1o+iy1a x-aare NOV he
certain Of a regular income in their
old age, to enable states to establish
unemployment reserves to care for
workers who are temporarily unem-
ployed, and to enlarge our general
health program looking toward the
curtainment Of disease and prema-
ture death, and the Improvement of
living conditions for all of us"
