CASE OF BABCOCK
STILL UNDECIDED
A. +. G. {. Council Recesses.
Another Conference
Scheduled Today.
BY I. A. FOX.

After an all-day session, the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees recessed
early last night at the Hamilton Hotel
without reaching any decision In the
political activity" case against T..
Claude Babcock, national president.
Another conference is scheduled
today.
Meeting behind closed doors, the
council members afterward declined
to discuss the course Of the discussion,
but it seemed likely q faction op-
posed to Babcock is holding out for
his removal or retirement. There ap-
pears to be some feeling, however,
that the council should move slowly
in taking action. Just how much
disciplinary power the council has
under the federation constitution is
problematical.
The one positive development Of
the day was the statement of William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, that the parent
group is taking no part in the A. F..
G. E. troubles.
I'VE are not going in; we respect
their autonomy" Green said. as he
passed through the hotel lobby while
the council members were gathered
on the floor above.
Green describes the situation as
unfortunate" commenting on the
political implications Of the cause OF
the trouble-an article by Babcock
attacking the "spoils policies" Of the
Roosevelt administration which was
circulated by the Republican National
Committee.
But the biggest men make mis-
takes sometime" the federation head
said.
There had been q suggestion in
some quarters that Green might step
into the breach, but apparently that
line of action is out.
Babcock presided at the first ses-
sion of his own trial" at which every
member of the council was present.
In the afternoon. however. when what
was described as an informal con-
ference" was on, Babcock left the
room and the oficial stenographer
also withdrew.
In the middle Of the day the coun-
ell took time out from the Babcock
case to hear q delegation from local
lodges, which are protesting because
the Central Labor Union here is pro-
posing to limit its delegate member
ship to the District Department Of
the A. F. c. E. as a whole, instead of
letting individual lodges appoint del
egates.
The lodges protesting want the sup
port of the council in their fight,
which is due to come to a head this
week. The matter was taken under
consideration.

By JEAN NEWTON
TAKING A LESSON FROM THE
DOG TRAINER

HE man who has trained and
- owns eighty dog actors and ac.
tresses who are familiar to most Of
us for the phenomenal tricks they
perform in the movies, was asked
how he accomplished the feat OF
training dogs to carry on what seem
to be human conversations, irnitat-
ing the infections of the human
voice, and to perform intricate and
complicated sequence of acting.
Patience" he said. '"Tons of it,
days and weeks of it. And kindness
always. You'll never get anywhere
by abusing a dog. And considera-
tion. Never try to teach a tired
pup anything
The interviewer referred to the
particularly astonishing perform
ance of the dogs in a certain pic
ture, and asked about the proceed
ure for working such wonders with
them. The man demonstrated some
Of the signals to which the dogs
respond, saying Sometimes have
to show them the signals two hun
dred times before they get them.
They probably think you're a bit
foolish for wanting them to do such
silly things, but if they love you
and they won't unless you love them
get that--they'n do what YOU ask
to please you"
Patience again. And considera-
tion. Love.
How like us humans the dogs are!
They respond to patience, consid-
Grafton, love. And the best way to
get them to love you is to love
them!
That isn't so strange. The strange
thing which this story of the movie
dogs brings to mind is that people
who want to get results with human
beings don't make the study of it
and put forth the effort to get re-
suits which the man is so willing
to do who is dealing with dogs.
People who want to get humans
to work for them never stop to think
of the workers point of view or
study how to appeal to them. That's
where the man who wants dogs to
work for him can teach us a lesson.

said he, just as if he were talking
to Jerry. 1--WE brought a couple Of
carrots for. you and I hope you will
enjoy them. You'll find them over
by that favorite old log Of yours -
Farmer Browns Boy pulled 8
couple Of carrots from his pocket
and walked over to the old log
where Jerry had been caught in
the trap by his tail. When Farmer
Browns Boy got there he gave q
little whistle Of surprise. There
were some pieces Of carrot already
there. Then Farmer Browns Boys
face clouded. II wonder what this
MEANS" said he, and at once be-
gan to look about. 1t didn't take
him long to discover the trap fast
ened to the old log. 'Ha! thought
sol" exclaimed Farmer Browns
Boy, and his face became angry
looking.
He reached down and got hold of
the chain of the trap and pulled it
free from the log. Then he tossed it
up on the bank and at once went
over to another favorite feeding
place of Jerry's. There, just as he
expected, he found another trap.
This he also threw up on the bank,
and his face looked angrier than
ever.
Now Farmer Browns Boy knew
all about trapping, and, what is
more, he knew all about the ways
of Jerry Musl1rat. So he went from
place to place where he thought
traps might be set. He found two
more, and by this time he had quite
lost his temper.
'T'd like to know who it is has
dared to set traps here" he grum-
bled. '"This is on our land, and
everybody knows that we don't al
low trapping. I guess I'll have to
go up the Laughing Brook and see
if there are more traps up there.
I'll take these traps along with me,
and whoever owns them will have
to come up to the house to get them.
Then I'll give him such a good
piece of my mind that he won't do
any more trapping along the Laugh
ing Brook and around the Smiling
Pool"

Chocolate and The Spiced
Varieties Keep Particu-
IarIy Well.

Cake is an all the year around
favorite. It has no season. It
makes a particularly good des-
sert, because it can be made to
serve for several meals. It will
help stretch the dessert planned
for the family when that un-
expected company arrives.
Chocolate cake and spice cake
keep particularly well. The latter
generally improves in flavor and
if it is kept in tight tin box, it
will keep as moist as when it was
freshly baked. The fruit apparent
ly holds the moisture and distrib-
utes it to the crumb as it is need
ed. There are all kinds of good
recipes for cake of this sort.
Applessuce cake is an old-fash-
ioned favorite and tomato soup
cake is a modern product. Raisins
and dates and some times figs
and often nuts, besides the spices,

REWARD RESTS ON
EFFORT, WISDOM
OF THE BUSY BEE

@.r .
I went into my garden this
morning and there in the morning
sunshine, among the apple trees,
! began opening my bee hives to
lcok for queen cells. Presently I
was conscious of a bird singing
in the apple tree just over my
head. It was the "Easy-so easy
so easy" of one of our most cheer
full neighbors, the song sparrow.
$50 easy indeed!" said I. "It is
precisely the advice need-on a
fine morning like this, in sum-
mer."
It was then I began to think of
the evils of the world, so long
weighing heavily upon my spirit
wars, strikes, poverty, hunger,
greed, cruelty. It may be,
thought, that men will have to be
turned back to the soil for a thou
sand years or so to exercise them.
It may be that the remedy, as in
ancient times, lies here upon the
open land.
I thought, as knelt there by my
hives, that one cannot fool a hive
of bees! There is no gambling
shortcut to honey: no getting by
with clever words. Reward rests
exactly upon effort, effort exactly
upon knowledge.
Man is constantly forgetting this
law, becoming impatient of this
order, despising the slow proc
esses of creation and growth,
seeking by silly force or sillier
duplicity to satisfy his greed by
shortcuts. We who kneel by our
hives know well that it cannot be
done. We know that the attempt
to do it results in what we see
abroad in the world today:
hatred, bitter depression and dis
may. It cannot be done!-David
Grayson in Cosmopolitan.
