which will be held at the Carlton
Hotel from 10 until 6 o'clock to-
morrow, is an exact replica Of one
Of the famous bull cups which
were found in a tomb at Vaphio,

1900 B. c.
There will be an interesting
variety Of hand-woven fabrics, ex.
quisitely embroidered in rare de-
signs and fascinating colors. Every
design has a story-one panel is
q copy of an altar cloth which
was found in an ancient church
on the Island Of Crete and is now

The essentials Of the balanced
diet form the basis Of the reduc-
ing menu. Reducing has done a
complete about-face, and before
we take a single food out Of the
menu we ask, Does this rob the
menu of anything but calories?"
Not only must the protective foods
be included but they must be in.
cluded in adequate amounts.
Women require four times as
much iron as men, and even the
high calorie diet may easily be de-
ficient in this mineral.
Since this mineral must be
picked up bit by bit, it is impor-
tant for the reducer to know the
iron-rich foods: Beef, oysters, liver,
eggs, whole grains, molaSses and
spinach.
Scientists tell us that Vitamin
C is connected with the utilization
Of iron in the diet-another impor-
tant reason for including a cit
rouS fruit daily. Source Of this
vitamin are oranges, grapefruit,
lemons, tomatoes, pineapple, cab
bage, potatoes.
This emphasis on food may not
be your idea of dieting, for most
overWeights strictly Shun potatoes
and regard milk and bread as fat
tening. We all know people who
wouldn't think of touching these
three foods-but they never seem
to get an ounce simmer!
Buttermilk, or milk with the
cream removed, will not cause a
gain in weight, and is one Of the
best foods you can include in the
menu. SKINNED milk and butter
milk contain just as much cal
cium-another important mineral
as whole milk, and only half
as many calories.
AS to potatoes, one potato of
average size is 100 calories, and
no more fattening than 100 cal
ories of any other food. The
lowly potato should not be
Stunned in a reducing diet, for
it is high in mineral salts and
safety value.

A safe reducing diet is based
on a normal menu at two-thirds
your calorie requirements. You
can't go wrong by that method
and you can get beautifully slim.
The League of Nations commit

essentials of a balanced diet:
milk is the nearest approach
to a perfect food that man knows.

we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
feundly, sometimes Aippantly,

The pot will walk out on a brightly

at John j. Kettle and call him black.
The kettle will wait until two nights
later, when upon an equally brilliantly

to proclaim that Peter @. Pot is twice

From thence forth for several
months Pot and Kettle will alternate
in proclaiming the duskiness (politi-

That will be what is known as a

A political campaign. 1t will end
in November.
OF course along with this there will
go some serious discussion of the

Man, will there be fish in the sea?
But the Pot and Kettle business
simply is inseparable from an Amer

Labor Board Reports
Action in 466 Cases

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board re-
ports that since its organization for
active operation last September, it
has received charges of unfair labor
practices, or petitions for elections to
determine employe representation, in
466 cases, involving 121 ,499 workers
Figures complete through December
81, 1885, include cases handled in
Washington and in q regional
offices)
One hundred seventy-fve Of the
466 cases, involving 34,635 workers,
were closed during that three-months
period. The disposition Of these It's
cases illustrates the present ability
of the board to close more than one
third Of the cases brought before it,
doing SO in most cases during the in
formal, preliminary stages, and in all
cases to date before recourse was
had to court procedure under the act.
Some of the cases were withdrawn
by the complainants; in some insult
ficient reason was found to issue a
complaint; in very great many
cases compliance with the law was
achieved by informal means.

FIyE-DAY WEEKS GREAT
PROGRESS

The National Industrial Conference
Board, an employers organization,
reports that the fve-day week has be-
come widely prevalent in American
business establishments. 1t applies
somewhat more frequently to factory
workers than to clerical employees,
the board finds.
Union labor has been tremendous
factor in this spread of the short
week, a fact that the National Indus
trial Conference Board neglects to
mention. The labor movement, from
its very beginning, has fought for the
shortening Of work periods, and was
a pioneer in advocating and establish
ing the fve-day week, particularly in
the building trades and other strongly
organized industries.
1t is significant that the conference
board found that on a geographical
basis the largest proportion of report
ing companies with a tive-day week
for both wage earners and white col
lar" workers is in New England, fol
lowed in order by the Middle Atlantic
States and the East North Contra
States. Workers in these parts Of the
nation are more strongly organized
than in most of the South and West
where the fiye-day week was reported
less prevalent.
That the fve-day week will continue
to make progress is certain. The tren'
is all in its favor. Labor's educationa
work in behalf of the fve-day weel
has been largely instrumental in con
vincing the nation Of the short week
benefits, until today it has suppor
that will insure even more rapid ad
vancement in the future.

HOW WILL NATION ANSWER
QUESTION?

President Green, of the American
Federation Of Labor, again empha-
sizes that there is still no prospect
Of work for more than a mere hand
ful Of the 100000 unemployed.
If we count on improving business
alone to put the unemployed to work
we may expect little improvement in
this situation he says. In Decem-
Der, 1885, business activity was p per
cent above December, 1884, but en-
ployment was only per cent higher.
Clearly unemployment is not keep
ing pace with the rise in business
activity"
Mr. Green says that gains the last
half Of 1885 are Of small significance,
however, when compared with the
magnitude Of the problem we face.
No solution is in sight he adds.
America faces the stubborn fact that
unemployment viii always be with
Us unless we insist on finding jobs
for these millions in industry, where
they can create the wealth for their
support
Then Mr. Green asks Are we will
ing to accept permanent unemploy-
ment
on the answer to this question de-
pends perhaps more than anything
else the future Of this nation.

NAVY YARD CONSTRUCTION

Labor executives are pleased over
the point made BY Senator Nye in
hearings before the senate munitions
committee. Senator Vandenberg ap-
peared alarmed to learn that navy
yard workers get 20 per cent higher
pay than workers ia private yards
and 30-day leave which adds $780,
ooo more to the cost Of a war vessel
a question from Senator Nye
brought the expert admission that de-
spite the leave and the higher pay the
navy yards are building a comparable
ship for nearly million dollars less
than the government pays the private
yards. Evidently labor is on the right
track when it advocates government
construction Of naval vessels and mill
itary equipment.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY q. 1886
HIGH" TEXTILE WAGES

The determination Of many employ
ers to keep wages at point 50 low
that the workers are unable to buy a
decent living for themselves and their
families is pointedly brought to the
front in the opposition Of the textile
manufacturers and their journalistic
supporters to the Ellenbogen bill, de-
signed to stabilize labor conditions in
the textile industry.
The bill stipulates that wages paid
common or unskilled' labor shall not
be less than $15 per week Of 35 hours
and that clerical and office employees
shall be paid not less than SIS per
week of 40 hours. Minimum wages for
semi-skilled and skilled workers would
be determined BY a national textile
commission after a thorough investi-
cation Of conditions in the industry and
the requirements Of the employees. Re
gional differentials in wage rates
would be abolished and wages above
the minimum would be subject to ne
gotiations between the organized
workers and the mill owners.
It's obvious that the minimum wage
Of SIS per week prescribed by the bill
will purchase only a very modest liv-
ing for the workers. Nevertheless, the
New York Journal Of Commerce,
spokesman for the mill owners, de
clares .the worst features of the bill
are those which seek to impose in
creased wage costs On the industry, :
adding
AT time when textile manu-
facturers enjoy prospects Of a sub
stantial expansion Of their sales
because Of the lifting Of the pro-
eessing taxes, the threat Of a
sharp increase in labor costs is
especially discouraging
The prospects which the journal
Of Commerce says the manufacturers
enjoy are the prospects Of higher div
idends brought about BY increased bus
mess and the continuation Of present
low wage rates for the men and women
who do the work in connection with
the manufacture Of textile products
Profits, of course, are the paramount
object mill owners have in view re-
gardless of the unjust labor conditions
imposed. But what must progressive
citizens think Of industrial leader
who fight a measure which proposes
that minimum wages for the leas
protected groups in the industry shall
be SIS per week?
