FER to the fact that if this law ap.
plies to plain John Henry-it also
applies to Algernon Artichoke. If
we have no right to enter John
Henry's humble abode and raise
Cain with his simple program,
neither have we the right to in
wade Algy's factories and gum up
his industrial plans.
And 1t is just as represensible
and viciously radical" to disre-
gard the right of one as of the
other.
have, I admit, no great pei
sonal admiration for Algernon
Artichoke. I am aware that many
of his opinions are cockeyed and
his practices more so. And
not only suspect, but am doggone
sure, that he mas gotten by with
murder in his industrial relations.
Moreover, I'd like to see him re-
ceiVe all that's coming to him
which he doubtless will if we who
really run the country keep our
shirts on and our heads cool.
BUT FAIR PLAY is FAIR
PLAY. AND WHATEVER ISN'T
FAIR PLAY BUYS YOU MOTH
ING BUT MISERY IN THE LONG
RUN.
And it's neither fair play to
Algy, nor good business for our
SelUeS, for the Working people of
America to disregard the tundd-
117oOf0T In4Dc of oi1,SISsod oonrorO
ton and act like a bunch of hood
IunlS.
Regardless of who recommends
it, these Sit-doWn strikes are not
American, not good SportSmanship
by any possible Interpretation of
the term. Yes, I know John L.
Lewis is behind them, I know and
I respect John L. Lewis. But I'm
not with him in this.
STUPID AND UNFAIR
I do NOT think that such meth
ods are worthy of his character
as man or his genius as an or
ganizer. I do NOT believe that
these tactics will help Lewis him
self or the millions of fine, vigor-
Gus, ambitious workers whom he
represents. To the contrary, be-
lieve that the Sit-down strikes are
going to give them the blacklist
eye they have received in many a
day and a reputation for stupidity
and unfairneSS which will be hard
to live down.
1t is as shamefully benighted as
child labor
AS antisocial as the CallouS in
difference of the rich
AS viciously lawless as the tac-
tics of any racketeer-
A black and abiding disgrace,
not only to the men who engage in
it, but the country which spine
leSSly watches it without arising,
in self-respecting indignation, and
telling their fellow citizens to snap
out of it.
If we need reforms in wages,
hours and working conditions
and we do-let us enforce them.
But let US never forget that hooli-
ganism, whether it wears broad
cloth or denim-and should be
treated accordingly.

I'VE have been married 10 years,
and I'm bored to death with the
man everyone regards as an ideal
husband. It's his very goodness
that bOreS me. He never wants to
go anywhere to spend an evening,
but at his own fireside.
He doesn't object but would
prefer not to have company to
dinner. His home suits him, the
way the house is run suits him,
his wife suits him, and l could
shrek with the placidity.
"Of course, you'll think I'm in
love with another man but I'm not.
1 have no men friends beyond the
most casual of acquaintances, and
1 don't want any.
But l do want to lead my own
life. 1 want to write plays, short
stories, novel or two perhaps,
and 1 want to go to New York,
rent hall bedroom somewhere,
and give my ambition full rein.
Il noticed that in your column
YOU sometime advise people about
books. Will you send me list
on playwriting and shOrt-Story
writing? Also do you know a
good school where 1 could study
theatrical production.
JUST BORED"
I'm quoting from an old play,
and memory may fail as to the
exact words. The idea is "get
down on your knees and thank
God for a good mans love"
If you've ever had any dealings
with publishers, readers or "tast-
ers," for magazines, I think that
steady plodding husband of yours
would look pretty good to you.

QUITE the gayest bit Of spring

powder vanities in a downtown

enamel, decorated with every

punches of vegetables. fruits, and
so on. They arc in three sizes
large squares, small squares and
large rectangles. The two large
sizes sell regularly for 81, but are
now ST., and the small vanitieS are
usually 81, but are now So cents

place and other good details The
designs are delightful, and you can
match them up to your new acces-
SorieS. If you wear violets on your
lapel, have VioletS on your COM
pact. If you wear the new punches
OF mixed vegetables, have them re-
peate0 on your vanity. There are
cherries, flowers, vegetables, mixed
fruits, and so on and on. We've
sketched a small vanity with green
peas and large vanities with spring
flowers and violets. Oh, yes, there
are dress prints, too, with back
ground in navy, pink, yellow, and

Creamy, delicately favored and
served instantly. it is a dish that
never becomes tiresome.
During the spring the price of
eggs reaches the low level of the
year, and including them on the
menu is only smart budgeting.
The egg is complete protein
food and can take the place Of
meat on the dietary.
Many foreign countries have
special recipes for the egg that
combine it in unusual ways. In
every case, however, there are GER
tain rules that must be observed
if the dish is to remain creamy
and smooth.
The egg must be cooked at a
low temperature. If it's a poached
egg, the water should be kept be-
low boiling. If it's fried egg, the
fire should be turned rather low
and the yolks cooked by basting
with hot fat or covering the pan
with a lid.
In the case of an omelet, the
low fire is needed so the omelet
will puff before it browns. Even
for the hard-cooked eggs, the
water in which they are cooked
should be kept below boiling.
Whether the eggs are served
scrambled or in one of the more
unusual ways that these recipes
suggest, be sure to not hurry the
cooking.

ings. 1t can cure no evil but
must. on the contrary, encourage
al enti-social attitude which will
inevitably breed even more brutal
and stupid forms of savage child
iShneSS.
These, under our present condi-
tions, are undoubtedly fighting
words. No columnist has a right
to use them unless he knows, by
individual experience, what he's
talking about. Therefore I pre-
face my protest, which otherwise
would be purely personal piffle,
with the following fact.
have always been "for labor" D."
MY earliest recollection is of our
family of seven living on hall ra'
tions for many weeks, so that the
men involved in the big railroad
strike of the nineties" might eat.
At no time did my fathers meager
wage provide luxurious diet. I'm
der such curtailment it meant
mighty lean pickings. But this
hardship was more than offset by
the air Of high-hearted adventure
which pervaded our shabby days.
BOND WITH LABOR
So, as l have stated, by bond
with labor goes deeper than
propaganda-Was literally grated
into my bloodstream by that great
hearted, underfed, dying zealot
who literally gave his life in their
CauSe"-that was not merely a
dramatic phrase to my father. 1t
was fighting slogan, which he
bequeathed to his children as his
only and most priceless heritage.
And I, however unworthy, have
tried to live by the slogan.
But here is one time lUhcn
and a considerable number OF my
tellOD toilcrS stand smack on OPP
poSite SIDES OF the tence-and I
don't qtue a darn Who knoWS it.
I refer to this issue OF the sit
doDn strike.
If the working man has any
fundamental, inalienable right un-
derlying all his arguments and up
riSingS, it is his claim that A HUI
MAN BEING HAS A RIGHT TO
POSSESS HIS OWN LIFE. PROF
1T BY HIS OWN EFFORTS AND
COMMAND RESPECT AND CON-
SIDERATION FROM OTHERS IN
THAT STRUGGLE. Without that
right a man might as well be a
mouse.
And that right is as sacred to
the ditch digger, scavenger or poor
devil on the dole as it is for the
highly paid professional. Under
our American plan of democracy,
every man, regardless of his task,
has the right to demand protec-
tion for his own life and profit.
So far, so well. No worker, how
ever high or humble, will deny
these fundamental facts.
But now comes an extension of
this same principle which. if I
know my fellow laborers will
arouse a roar of protest which
| can well be heard in Mars. l re.
