Clergyman's Reception
Needn't Bore Anybody
. Observation-Disclosures

II EAR Mrs. Post: l am one Of the
committee in charge of giving
a reception for our new clergyman
and his wife. 1t has been suggested
by one of the women that we have a
musical program first, after which
the newcomers will receive and
then everyone go downstairs to the
large Sunday-schOOl room to have
refreshments. I personally think
such an arrangement might prove
drawn out and awkward but don't
know what better plan to suggest.
Answer: l think the combination
of a welcoming reception and a
musical program requiring every
one to sit in Silence is exactly what
you describe as awkward. If I were
managing it, l would have the en-
tire reception in the Sunday-school
room, which you say is ample,
where one or two members on the
committee would receive with the
clergyman and his wife and intro
duce parishioners to them. Several
stringed instruments playing softly
as background for conversation
would be delightful. This arrange
ment could not prove firing since
after people have spoken to those
receiving they would stand around
in groups talking to one another
and be served with refreshments.
AS newcomers arrive the first-com-
ers-if they grow tired-would be
free to leave.

STRIKES DON'T BOTHER THE SOUTH
Not AS Much AS the North and East Any RateDe Begins
Enjoy Results of Campaign to Attract Industries
BY WILLIAM C. UTLEY

SPECTACULAR strikes of re-
~ cent months in the North and
East, with their accompanying
publicity, have largely OBJ
scured from the public con-
seriousness the industrial awak-
ening that is taking place in the
South. Yet southern industrial
leaders feel that labor troubles
outside Dixie will soon be re-
Elected in increased southern
migrations as industry spreads
out to avoid the difficulties root
ed in Recommendation.
Fortunately for the South, which
in the last 10 months has pressed
determined campaign to attract new
manufacturing plants, its compare
lively quiet labor conditions have
stood out in serene contrast to the
hectic scenes which have filled the
northern stage.
J Department of Labor reports show
that the number of workers involved
in strikes steadily increased in both
the North and South during the last
six months of 1886, the latest period
for which official records are avail
able. But the totals are heavily
against the North, which suffered
1874 strikes, involving 372,495 work
ers, as compared with 105 strikes,
involving 29,134 workers in Dixie.
The North had it's greatest num-
Der of strikes in August and Sep
TENDER, with 1877 in each month, but
1853 strikes in October involved the
most workers-95, 172. The South
had "a strikes in August, keeping A.
500 from employment, but 1885
were kept out by Is strikes in Oc-
tober.
= South Is Nom Union.
During the six-month period 40 to
60 per cent of all new strikes &C.
CURED in four states-New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and California
with Illinois and Michigan account
ing for a sizeable portion of the re-
mainder. During the same six
months only two important strikes
took place in the South-one in the
Chevrolet and Fisher bodies plants
at Atlanta, and one in the plant of
the Celanese Corporation of Amer
lea at Cumberland, Md. Both were
settled amicably.
Scarcity of strikes of either "sit-
down" or "walkout" variety in the
South is easily explained. The South
is relatively non-union. With indus
try less concentrated than in eastern
or middle western regions, it is less
susceptible to strike epidemics.
Some industrialists deem it prob
able that public opinion will have
outlawed the "sit-down'' before the
South can be effectively unionized;
if "sit-downs" should appear, state
and local governments should profit

by the experience of their eastern
and middle western neighbors in
handling them.
Wages and employment in the
South have increased more rapidly
than in other sections, while hours
have not increased as much, and
this undoubtedly has some bearing
on the absence of strikes. The wage
differential between the South and
other sections was approximately
33.5 per. cent in 1888; by December,
1885, it had narrowed down to 21.9
per cent. Since the southern work.
er, according to economists, can
maintain the same standard of liv-
ing as his northern counterpart at
20 per cent less cost, the South may
now claim virtual parity as far as
real wages are concerned.

Fiancee Dies; What
to Do With Ring?

4 n L
~ me what is the proper thing to
do about an engagement ring after
a girl was engaged and her fiance
died and she becomes engaged to
another man? This is exactly what
has happened to me and my first
fiance's mother is telling everyone
what terrible person 1 am because
/ won't return hes sons ling to her.
1 loved him dearly, and the fact
that I now love another in no way
belittles my love for either one, so
far as can see. They are the
principals in two separate phases
of my life. Why must 1 return the
only thing my first fiance gave me
and which i am sure he would
have wished me to keep always?
Answer: If the ring is one he
bought for you, it is certainly yours
for always. But if the ring was
once his mother's-possibly her own
engagement ring-if it has any
other family history about which she
has real sentiment, then l think
you should send it back-but not
otherwise.
Introduce Her Tactfully.
n EAR Mrs. Post: My son has
- given ring 20 his fiancee, al
though as yet there has been no
engagement announced and will not
be for several months because her
parents are not returning from
abroad until then. My husband and
] are to celebrate our wedding an
niversary soon and would like at
this occasion to introduce her to our
many friends, but we don't want to
in any way "steal the show from
her parents. Can you explain how
we can introduce her and yet give
no impression of a betrothal?
Answer: There is no reason in
the world why she shouldn't be one
of the guests, and no reason why she
shouldn't be more or less casually
introduced to all the people there.
But certainly she can not very well
receive with you without having it
taken for granted that your interest
in her is very special.
When to Stop Eating.
n EAR Mrs. Post: An acquaint-
~ ance of mine thinks it improper
to continue eating while being
served with any part of her meal,
and every time the waitress ap-
proaches, whether it is with water
or coffee or no matter what, she
stops eating entirely and does not
eat again until the waitress has left
her place. Isn't this silly?
Answer: You eat exactly the
same except when actually helping
yourself. AS you take your portion
from the dish and put it on your
plate, you stop chewing for that
moment, but this does not mean
that your mouth need be empty.
The Society Pages.
~ EAR Mrs. Post: Is it bad form
~ to send the brides picture to
the newspapers for publication with
an account of the wedding, If she il
not well known in prominent So
cial groups? Are these society pages
devoted exclusively to the brides
who are daughters of prominent
families?
Answer: It is not a question Of
bad form but of how much interest
the society editor feels the account
will have to his readers.
How to Eat Jelly.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Please tell us
~ the proper way to eat jelly or
jam?
Answer: A small amount of jelly
is put on piece of meat, already
speared with fork. and eaten. Jelly
or jam on bread and butter is

LINCOLN BILL SAVED ILLINOIS
FROM DEBT REPUTATION

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Feb. -
G.NSO.-"Honest Abe Lincoln,
who once trudged six miles to re-
pay few pennies, is the man
responsible for keeping Illinois
from joining the company OF ma
tions and Commonwealths which
have repudiated their debts.
Documents brought to light in
the archives division of the office
of Secretary of State Edward j..
Hughes today-the 128th ami
verSary of Lincolns birth-prove
this and give credit to LincolnS
craftsmanship for solving the
States financial dilemma.
A century ago the State was
young and ambitious. A program
was adopted by which Illinois was
to construct railroads.
So the legislature appropriated
upward of $10,000,O00 to finance
this program, going to English and
American bankers for the money.
Interest Problem
On January /, 1841, interest on
bonds totaling 100000 was due
and as the States annual revenue
at that time was scarcely more
than that amount, Governor
Thomas Carlin called the general
assembly into special session to
devise ways and means Of meet
ing this 100000 payment.
When the session started, flood
Of cure-all bills were introduced.
One of these was sponsored by
Lincoln. 1t provided for a prop
erty tax of 40 cents on the $100
valuation, with the minimum land
valuation for such a tax set at 81
an acre.
The House Finance Committee
voted Lincoln's bill out unfavor-
ably.
So the session dragged on and
on with nothing done.
March /, the adjournment dead

ing had been done.
Then, desperate, the legislators
named a committee of nine to
hunt a solution. Lincoln was a
member Of the committee which,
after long deliberation, brought in
series of bills, a part of which
we're passed.
LincOln'S Plan Approved
Chief among those passed was
a bill for property tax levy based
on the mill system and it became
effective February 7, 1841.
Recent comparison made by the
archives department shows that
this bill was identical with Lin.
coins original tax bill except for
two words.
These two words simply changed
the amount of the tax from 40
cents to 10 cents on the $100 valua-
ton and fixed the minimum land
value per acre for tax purposes
at So instead of 81 an acre.
