Restless
Younger
People
Give Simple Parties
for Boys and Girls
Their Own Age.
BY ANGELO PATRI,

r EsTLEss children in their teens,
boys and girls, alike, give their
fathers and mothers an anxious time.
They do so much that is silly and
wrong, according to adult standards,
and what is to be done? They have
passed the time when the standards
of childhood apply and they have
not reached the time when adults
standards can be applied. They re-
fuse to be children and they cannot
be adults. They insist upon behaving
like children, but they court adult
responsibilities they cannot meet. No
wonder their parents are sick and
worried and unhappy
One young man of 19 says he wants
to 60 to college, but he does as little
studying as possible to get by He
says he has no particular aim in going
to college, just wants to go to say he
has BEEN He goes out at night and
drinks a bit with young man who
has too much money and not enough
to do. What are his people to do?
1t seems to me that when a young
man gets into such a rut as this, going
along a set line that must end in
trouble, the best thing to do with him
Is to take him out OF his present place
and set him somewhere else, so that
he can form new associations. Some
times there are relatives OF friends
at distance who can help in such
situations. Families have been known
to swap problems like these for the
time Of their duration. The thing to
do Is to break the spell that the child
is under-the sooner the better.
Then there is the young girl in her
early teens. Too young to 60 out to
dances with young men, too old to be
content with childish things. She
wants evening gowns, makeup, dances.
She cannot have them. She fuses
and weeps and bewails her hard lot,
her cruel parents. She envies the girls
whose parents have given up the strug-
gle and yielded to the clamor OF the
fledgling. What is to be done with
her?
State the situation calmly. After
all, she is going to live for about so
years more. There is still time for
her to dress and dance and make love.
Make her bide her time. Arrange for
parties for girls and boys her own age,
and keep them youthful and simple.
Don't encourage the aping Of the
silly adult. Try to keep the young
person busy. Clubs, athletics, special
instruction in some branch Of culture,
some social service work done under
the leadership Of a fine woman, all
these help.
Above all, teach these young people
to be useful. To be sure, If this has
been overlooked until the child is in
his teens, it is going to be hard to set
the idea. But try. Keep pushing
work, occupation, usefulness under
their noses. Keep placing responsible
ity upon them whenever possible. And
don't assume any of the punishment
their own foolishness brings upon
them to protect them. That is the
way nature trains men, by making
them take the consequences of their
own mistakes. Try to give as much
Of that as safety permits to the rest
less young ones who are crying for
the moon.
This stage of growth is hard on the
children and harder on their parents.
After all there is one comfort! This
condition, too, passes.

Manners
of the
Moment

OF COURSE, it's quite possible to
make q man you know stop dead
in his tracks and chat with you when
you pass him on the street. But it
isn't quite fair. If he just tips his hat
and keeps going at fair pace, it's
best not to interrupt his walk. He
may have other things on his mind.
The girl who says, Hello, how are
you, and how's everything, and how's
tricks?" and settles down to a COM
Portable position to talk, very often
makes her men friends nervous. Even
her women friends have to be in the
mood for q street corner visit.
The wiser course Is to nod cheerily,
and move on as though you, too, had
other things on your mind. II you
have, 20 much the better. JEAN.

The Old Gardener Says:

Mar1golds seem to be the flower
OF the year and there are
number Of new varieties which
recommend themselves. There
Is even one that has foliage
which Is entirely odoriess, and
will therefore appeal to those
persons who dislike the typical
marigold scent. In addition 1t
has handsome flowers, which are
golden orange In color. The
petals are arranged In couarette
fashion. and It has been appro-
priately named crown Of gold.
Harmony Is a martgold Of the
French type, which was one of
the outstanding novelties of 1886.
1t produces an abundance of ma
hogany red and golden orange
blossoms on a symmetrical plant
from July until frost. Yellow
supreme is striking giant, yel-
low variety. Its flowers are not
rivaled in size and beauty, but
1t blooms very late and is often
cut down by frost before 1t
reaches its height of bloom.
Guinea gold is another excel
lent marigold Of recent intro
duction.

Dorothy Dix Says
To Be a Good Wife, Be Companion to
Your Hubby and Keep Him Amused.

1t is the arrival OF Junior, when the
woman becomes all mother and no
wife, that marks the beginning Of
their alienation from each other. The
young mother has no thought or in
terest in anything but the youngster.
She reads nothing but baby books and
has no conversation except about
baby formulas. She won't step out for
fear the baby might get uncovered
while she Is gone, no matter how
many nurses and grandmothers there
are to watch him. She doesn't try to
amuse and entertain her husban nd and
she is glad when he goes out alone so
she may be left undisturbed to her
infant worship.
She doesn't realize until 20 years
later, when the baby is grown and
has left her, that she threw away the
companionship of her husband that
she might have had if she had given
him one-tenth of the devotion and
understanding and sympathy that she
has given her children.
AS for keeping a husband enter
tanned and amused, that can't be done
in the sense of wife putting on a
perpetual show for her husband. Nor
does any man want her to do so. What
he wants at home is peace and quiet
and wife who reads and goes about
and keeps up with things and who is
an entertaining and pleasant COM
panion with whom to spend an eve
ming.

usually the hostess will ind that she
is forced to send again and again to
the kitchen for more toast and other
reinforcementS. This acts as very
satisfactory first" course for quick
luncheon, and saves much time by
combining the appetizer stage with 1t.
After this, the guests go into the
dining room, are seated, and the sec
ond course appears Immediately, be-
ing served in the usual manner. This
might consist of breasts of chicken on
slices Of Virginia ham, with mushroom
sauce, and side plate of baby gar
den lettuce leaves tossed in a we'll
favored French dressing Then hot
asparagus with butter, as a separate
course. followed by fresh strawberries
and pineapple, served in the pineapple
shell, after having been soaked In
Kirsch for about one hour.
You can see that this type of meal
would not take long, and would be
ample. If you, however, prefer some
thing bit more solid" you might
follow up your caviar course with an
English mixed grill, lamb chops,
bacon, sausage, kidney, broiled tomato
and shoestring potatoes, all served on
the same plate. The dessert could
be the same, and the salad could be
served as separate course instead
Of the asparagus.
In place of caviar as a first course"
arrangement, picked, spiced shrimp,
which may be bought ready cooked,
could be piled in chilled bowl on the
living room table. Have another bowl
of a good cocktail sauce nearby, and
let the guests dunk" to their hearts
content. Crisp. buttered crackers and
quarters Of lemon, for squeezing also
go well with the shrimp.
~ X
IF YOUR party is really large one,
then the simplest solution is the
regular buffet luncheon. Coffee and
tea at each end Of the main table,
hot dishes OF creamed mixed seafood-
lobster. scallops, crabmeat, shrimp,
oysters, clans, etc.-chicken livers,
mushrooms, kidneys and rice en- cas-
serole; platters Of thinly-sliced ham,
chicken and rare roast beef; round
loaves of French bread, with sweet
butter; curls of celery, radish roses
and baby Spring onions; chilly bowls
Of watercress and lettuce salad, with
French dressing, and others Of raw
vegetables, crisply delicious, and tiny
tarts Of raspberry jam or applesauce,
topped with whipped cream, for des-
sert. Your guests will wander hap
PLY about, selecting their favorite
foods, and will get down to the busi~
ness of eating with little or no delay.
This type OF meal always runs along
speedily, and you can relax, feeling
sure that you won't miss more than
the first part of the afternoons en-
tertainment anyway
Have plenty Of small tables scat
tered about, between pairs of chairs,
SO that people may sit and chat, and
not have to park plates, glasses, ash
trays, cigarettes and the rest OF the
works all over your best dining room
carpet. The maid should be on the
job all the time. removing used plates,
emptying the ashtrays, refilling glasses
and so on, so that every one is looked
after, and there is not too much self
service" going on.

LAB0R'5 PRESIDENT
SUBMITS BRILLIANT
CONVENTION SPEECH
BRAIN TRUST EMISSARIES

Continued from July 1st Edition.
While the legislature was in ses-
sion emissaries of the brain trust
were directed from Washington to
lobby for certain provisions to be put
in the state Social Security and I'm
employment Insurance acts. These
emissaries dictated TO the legislative
committees what must be put in the
bill and what must be inserted in
the bill or the act would not be ap-
proved by the Social Security Board
at Washington. The legislators had
to obey the dictates of the brain trust
emissaries, or Montana would not
get any of the money that was col
lected from Montana employers as
taxes on their pay rolls on old age
benefits or unemployment insurance,
This savors too much of fascism and
nazism, and our congressman should
be told that they must see that this
practice of the brain trust ceases.
A Sixty-Day Legislature
The constitution limits the num-
Der of days the legislature shall re-
main in session to sixty days, and
the statutes define a day as twenty
four hours beginning at midnight and
ending at midnight, yet it is the prac-
tice of the Montana legislature to
remain in session for days over the
sixtieth day.
There is much time lost at the be-
ginning of legislative session, and
those having ulterior motives delay
bills as long as possible in order that
some measure may be enacted favor
ably during the closing rush hours Of
the legislature. If it was known pos
itively that all legislative work mus
be finished within sixty days, better
laws undoubtedly would be enacted
Labor has suffered considerably by
legislation being enacted after the
expiration of the sixtieth day
A number of representatives of the
house, headed by Sam Speigel Of
Silver Bow, made an effort at the
close of the last legislature to have
the legislature adjourn at the legal
hour, but did not succeed. The con-
stitution of Montana is plain enough
but the courts do not seem to care
to act on the question. Therefore
it would be well to consider the adj
visibility of supporting a measure tc
enforce the provisions of the consti-
tuition relative to the time of ad-
journment of the legislature, even il
a bill must be initiated.
0ccupatiOnaI Diseases
The question of compensation fol
occupational diseases is being much
discussed; especially compensation
for silicosis and carbon monoxide gas
poisoning, the latter being a disease
which affects garage workers. Oul
sympathy is with the victims Of oc-
cupational diseases, but the prob
lem is how to secure legislation that
will compensate the sufferer of the
disease without possible reaction
Montana labor news., 1937-07-15

that will do an injury to the victims.
1t is an easy matter to legislate
compensation for the prospective suf-
ferers of occupational diseases, but
to amend the workmen's compensa-
ton law so as to compensate those
who are now suffering from occu-
pational diseases is another matter.
To make an amendment to the com
pensation laws for occupational dis
eases retroactive is about as possible
as to enact a law to allow a person
to insure a house after it has been
destroyed by fire, and collect on a
policy for the fire that took place
before the building was insured.
Occupational diseases compensa-
ton means a physical examination
for all working in the industry, and
those who are afflicted with an occu-
pational disease will be barred from
work-thrown on the human scrap
pile.
The workers who suffer from an
occupational disease are as much en-
titled to compensation as those who
suffer from accident while at work.
Industry must take care of its dis
eased workers just the same as it
takes care of the workers manned
by the industry. Some method must
be found to pension those already
suffering from occupational diseases,
and the sooner the better.
Much can be done to prevent oc-
cupational diseases. Adequate ven
tilation in garages will prevent car
bon monoxide poisoning. The unions
should carry Or a campaign to pre-
vent occupational diseases. An en-
lightened public opinion will advance
the cause rapidly.
Direct Legislation
Thirty-five to forty years ago the
best men in the labor movement in
Montana were advocating the Initia-
tive and Referendum The earliest
conventions of the Montana Fedora
ton of Labor annually adopted reso-
lutions favoring the adoptions of di-
rect legislation into the constitution
and laws of Montana. Thirty-five
years ago the legislature submitted
constitutional amendment to the
voters providing for the Initiative
and Referendum, whereby the people
would have supreme control over the
legislature. This was adopted at the
succeeding general election by very
large majority.
By court decisions and by persons
with ulterior motives the initiative
and referendum have been made al
most impossible. The early advo-
Gates of the initiative and referen-
dunn and the Legislators that enacted
the law never intended or antici-
pated that the courts write into the
law the privileges Of signers to with
draw their names from the initiative
and referendum petitions or there
would have been provisions inserted
into the statutes to provide for the
same. The initiative and referendum
is part of the election franchise
When a voter signs an initiative OF
referendum petition it is just the
same as voting on election day After
voter marks the ballot and the
same is placed in the ballot box that
ballot no longer belongs to him but
it is public property. Likewise when
voter signs an initiative or refer
Montana labor news., 1937-07-15

endum petition and the petition is
filed with the Clerk and Recorder
that petition should not be altered
no more than the ballot that has
been deposited in the ballot box.
The convention should recommend
amendments to the initiative and
referendum laws to protect the petit
tions from corrupt practices.
Direct Primaries
Twenty-Five years ago the Peo-
pies Power League with the CO.
operation of the Montana Fedora
ton of Labor initiated two bills pro-
viding for direct primary elections
and for corrupt practice act. These
two measures were placed on the
ballot at the general election of 1912
and received large majority of the
votes cast.
The direct primary law was on the
statutes for ten years. Then the
politicians started amending the law
until it is no longer the law enacted
by the people. Many abuses have
crept into the primary election law.
The members of organized labor
should give the direct primary law
"a thorough study in order that
amendments may be made to the
act that will remove the defects.
Corrupt Practices
The corrupt practice act is intend
ed to provide for fair elections and
to safeguard the voters from coercion
by individuals having power and
authority. The law is also intended
to punish those who bribe Legislators
Or legislators who accept bribes or
emoluments.
Today the corrupt practice act in
Montana is imperative. In fact it
is dead as a salted mackerel. Those
who are most to blame for this state
of affairs are the members of the
bar and this includes members of
the judiciary. Perhaps if the lay
men of Montana would get busy and
start few disbarment proceedings
the law would become operative.
The initiative and referendum
supported by an operative corrupt
practice act is the greatest prevent
ative from dictatorship and the
greatest preservative for our Ameri-
can form of government.
Employment Service
The records of the Knights of La
Dor show that organizations advo-
eating nearly sixty years ago De
partment of Labor with the Secre-
tary of Labor in the Cabinet. This
has become a reality. The knights
of Labor advocated the establish
ment Of a national unemployment
service with branches all over the
country to make it easier for the
unemployed to secure work away
from home. With the passage Of the
-Peyser Act another dream
of the Knights of Labor has become
reality.
Prior to the establishment of the
National Unemployment Service
contractors on public works ignored
local labor and imported their labor
from other states thereby breaking
down the local wage scale and work
ing conditions. The operation of the
National Unemployment Service has
put an end to this state Of affairs
and as the service develops it will
