STORE TO SHOW
CIVIC ACTIVITY

In a radical departure from
the usual display window tech.
nique used by local department
stores, Lansburgh Department
Store tomorrow will empty its
windows of merchandise and de-
vote it's store front display space
to civic exhibits.
Marking the annual Lansburgh
Day one-day sale, the displays will
be retained through the week. No
portion of the exhibits will be con-
nected with the sale.
Among the exhibits will be one
arranged with the cooperation of
The Washington Times, showing
some of the inner workings of a
metropolitan newspaper.
The click of the teletype ma
chimes pounding out the news as
it comes in from all sections of
the world will be a part of the dis
play. A specially prepared map
will show the chain of Hearst
newspapers in various cities.
Countries where correspondents
are stationed to gather and send in
news will be shown on a world
map. In addition there will be
various pictures which are fea-
lures in the news of the day. The
mechanical side Of newspaper pro-
duction will be illustrated with cuts
and matrices.
James Rotto, sales manager of
the store, pointed out that the ex-
hibits are designed both to attract
passersby and to educate adults
and children. He said:
Gas the oldest department
store in the city and having
grown with the city, this is an at
tempt to show the development
of civic activities within recent
years."
Other exhibits will illustrate the
work of the Metropolitan Police
Boys Club, the work of the Fire De
partment with showing of the
most modern fire-fighting equip
ment; an electrical exhibit with the
most modern electrical devices; a
telephone exhibit and an airplane
exhibit.

WIDER USE OF
MEDIATION
international News Service


Increased mediation facilities
in the various State labor depart
ments and assignment Of Federal
conciliators to cooperate with the
States when industrial differences
arise were suggested today by Sec
rotary Frances Perkins.
She told a group of industrial
lists, labor leaders and Govern
ment officials at her second con-
ference on labor relations such
action would help to stabilize in
dustrial conditions.
Secretary Perkins pointed out
the Labor Department has avail
able a list or panel of public-splr-
tied citizens with some experience
in the different industrial States,
from which can be selected special
mediators or boards when the
department is asked to help solve
disputes. She said:
"The first of these conferences
on the sterilization of industrial
relations, held two weeks ago,
brought about the understand
ing that it will be the purpose
of management and labor to
practice collective bargaining as
it is defined in the National La
Dor Relations Act, now the law
of the land, under the recent Su-
preme Court decisions.
CANCELLATION URGED
"Many employers and workers,
however, lack experience in col
lective bargaining and because
of this. there will be need for
cooperation among the State
and Federal agencies engaged
in Cancellation work and repre-
SentativeS of labor and manage
ment SO as to minimize stop
pages of work through mis-
understandings by either work
ers or employers.
Federal and State cOnciIia-
tors can perform a highly useful
service in the public interest
with the cooperation / am sure
they will receive from labor and
management in the coming
months.
"When differences arise and a
conference is called, which fails
to make Roadway tOwarI an ad-
juStment, cOnciliatOr should be
summoned. Negotiations should
not be broken off without call
ing upon the services of such an
expert. Very often his ideas and
advice will be helpful in finding
a solution or limiting the points
Of disagreement"

DEAN M'CUE HONORED
AT UNIVERSITY DINNER
[Continned from Firsf PgeeI

Y II
fessor OF horticulture, McCue was
made director of agricultural exten.
sion, director of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, and dean of the
school of agriculture In 1920. He
came to Delaware from Michigan
State College in East Lansing, Mich,
where, after his graduation from
that school in 1901, he was a men,
ber of the faculty. teaching horti-
culture.
Upon his arrival in Delaware, he
found that the School of Agriculture
consisted of eight part-time instruc-
tors. two regular students, and four
special students. For the last school
year there were A regular students
enrolled in the School of Agriculture
under ~ instructors. In 1907, there
were only 10 research workers in
the agricultural experiment station
while this year 80 men are conduct
ing research projects at the Univer-
sity. Likewise, the extension service
has grown considerably since Dean
McCue became director. In 1920. the
extension staff consisted of eight
full-time workers, one part-time
worker, and four secretaries. Under
bis direction, the staff has grown un-
til lat the present time. there are
IL full-time workers, four part-time
staff members, and ten secretaries.
That the work of Dean McCue has
reached beyond the boundaries of
the campus of the University of Del
aware is indicated by the fact that
in 1896 there were IL teachers of
vocational agriculture in 16 schools
teaching that subject who had grad
uated from the University of Della
ware and the supervisor of vocation
al agriculture teaching was also a
graduate. Contacts made with Della
ware farmers by members of the
extension service increased many
fold during DirectorMcCue's admin
istration. Office calls ON county ex-
tension agents increased from 3.16S
in 1920 to 2O,995 in 1886; farm and
home visits by the agents totaled
1912 in 1920 and 1902 I'm 1886; at
tendance at meetings held by or I'M
der the direction of the extension
forces jumped from 24.316 in 1920 to
63.051 in 1886.
Besides welding a great influence
on Delaware agriculture, Dean Nc
Cue has been the author of numer-
ous papers and bulletins dealing
with horticultural problems. From |
1927 to 1929 he was secertary-treas- |
urer of the Association of Land |
Grant Colleges and Universities and
was editor of the proceedings of the
Land Grant Association from 1927
to 1886.

Receipts at the Washington City
Post Once in December smashed all
monthly records in the history of the
Capital, it was learned today. Never
since the city was founded has money
for postal service poured into the vari-
Gus windows as it did during the clos
ing month Of 1885.
December postal receipts totaled
&92s,349.98 in comparison with $685.
Se4 year ago, an increase Of
S71.75S.98. They were also far ahead
OF the previous month of November,
when receipts amounted to $636,586.
To carry the comparison back further,
the total of more than S928,000 is
much larger than the December. 1884.
figure of s732,452 and s658,99l in
December 1888.
Up to December the best months for
postal receipts in Washington in 1886
were November, October, April and
March. The December receipts reflect
the enormous Christmas trade that was
reported In the city as well as the gen.
eral advance in normal business to new
high levels. To show how business at
the city post office grew during 1886.
