Wage.HOur Bill.

cHOrLS OF CHAIRMAN Norton OF the
House Labor Committee to draft
satisfactory wage-hour bill have struck
another, but not unexpected, snag in the
announcement by William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. that he is unqualifiedly opposed
to the proposed measure. The labor
leader was not in favor of the original
wage-hour bill, being represented as feel
ing that organized labor can secure for
itself all the benefits that might accrue
from the proposed legislation.
1t is apparent, from Mr.. Green's state
ment. however, that he is not SO much
opposed to Federal regulation of wages
and hours as such, as to the manner
in which 1t is proposed to accomplish
the egulation-namely, through the
Department Of Labor. Presumably this
Is due to the apprehension that regula-
ton from that source might prove I'M
duly beneficial to the Committee for
Industrial Organization. a charge that
has been lodged by the A. F. of L. against
the National Labor Relations Board.
The compromise bill suggested by
Chairman Norton provides for . three
year sliding scale. beginning with a
minimum wage Of thirty cents an hour
and q maximum week of forty-f -four
hours. working up to the forty-cent wage
and the forty-hour week. Undoubtedly
this provision also is Objectionable to
Mr.. Green in view Of the fact that the
Federation is sponsoring a bill calling
for the forty-cent minimum wage and
the forty-hour maximum week, with
the power to administer the law vested
in the Department of Justice.
In view Of the Federation's opposition
to Mrs. Norton's compromise, there
arises . grave question as to the adj
visibility Of attempting to force the
wage-hour bill through this session Of
Congress. Despite the strong congress
sional opposition. President Roosevelt
has made 1t clear he wants to see the
bill passed before adjournment, but he
would do the cause of labor q greater
service by dropping the measure at this
time, thereby enabling members of
Congress to devote their time to other
remedial legislation which is more
urgently needed and less strongly
opposed.

posing the so-called progressivism which
looks toward pleasing rather than teach-
ing youth.
Only . few days ago Dr.. william
Mather Lewis. president Of Lafayette
College. .assailed the present curriculum
as cluttered up with useless courses in
everything from hog calling to beauty
parlor management. Such courses are
all right in the field Of particular pro-
fessional training, but are sadly amiss
in the fundamental education Of the
American boy and girl.
Teachers Of today. says noted COLI
umnist. are learning too much Of tho
techniques of instruction and not enough
about the subjects they teach. As Z re-
suit children are often illiterate and
without the appreciation Of values that
comes from solid, fundamental back
ground. As local EDUCATOR suggested.
intensive training should be substituted
for the present tendency toward extern
sive curriculum.
Milton, In his essay, "On Education"
said q complete education is one which
"fits man to perform justly, skillfully
and magnanimously all ofices, both
public and private, in peace and in war"
1t is hard to see where hog calling fits
into this definition Of aims and pur-
poses of education.
The return to Appreciation Of true
liberal arts instruction is symbolized by
the work Of DR.. stringfellow Barr, head
Of nearby st. Johns College. Annapolis.
In setting up curriculum in liberal
arts based on one hundred Of the best
books Of all time, each selected because
Of particular contribution 1t made to
Its age. he has paradoxically made a
great forward step in getting back to
fundamentals which develop clear think
ing, which certainly is something the
world today could use.

Orchestra Gifts.

To provide for the continuance Of the
National Symphony Orchestra through
the season Of 1898 and 1899 approxi-
mately twenty-five thousand dollars
remain to be raised. OF course, 1t might
be possible for one single generous giver
to contribute the whole amount. Con-
ditions being what they are, however.
no such solution for the problem Is
indicated.
A better, more democratic method
of financing the present deficit has been
suggested. The average resident of
Washington Is being asked to share in
the privilege Of maintaining the city's
premier musical organization. Let each
man and each woman who entertains
an enthusiasm for the Capitals cultural
progress send gift to the campaign
headquarters of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association, Hotel Carlton.
The sum Of their offerings should be
large enough to meet the need. Also,
1t would be significant Of the matured
and developed esthetic character Of the
community. The orchestra, then, would
be everybody's. It's members could look
upon themselves as commissioned to
public service in the fullest and most
accurate meaning of the phrase.
The Star does not hesitate to appeal
to all its readers to cooperate to the
end that the fund may be completely
subscribed not later than March IS.

Dear Sir:
II have been much interested In read
ing your sympathetic treatment Of birds
in the column you conduct in The Star.
Back In Ohio we boys had one taboo.
and that was no one should kill q blue
bird.
Even the hinty callousness Of US
young savages was penetrated by the
gentle appeal Of this lovely bird.
And to me today none OF our feath-
cred friends approaches it in winsome-
ness and charm. It Is q genuine ex-
preston Of nature in one Of her most
gracious and kindly moods.
1.-THE bird possesses tantalizing quail
ity of sweetness in its warble-a tincture
Of heavenly melody that fingers and
makes one regret its brevity.

ing. had never before seen 20 many

II had a curious experience with q
robin last summer.
Il was sitting on the lawn when my
attention was attracted to one being
pursued by q bluejay. The Jay was
about twenty feet behind the robin and
followed him relentlessly around the
house, up over trees, across the road, but
always back around the house.
This continued for fully five minutes,
and could see that the poor robin was
nearly exhausted.
Finally it few straight to me as sat
there and dropped at my feet within
one yard. I could have reached over
and touched it.
painting, it crouched there, while the
jay alighted in tree nearby and scolded
and fused, and, presume, cursed and
swore in bird invective.
Anyway, it dared not come nearer.
I'm soothing tones I said to the
robin: All right, old fellow, you are safe
I'll protect you. Be easy
THE while he turned his bright eye
upon me.
After fruitlessly flying about, the jay
vanished. The robin remained at my
feet for some little time and then he, too,
new away.
Undoubtedly that bird came to me for
protection and the jay dared not follow.
Since then there has been rift in
my friendship for bluejays-for believe
the robin would have been killed had
he been caught.

Chasing another to exhaustion seems
to be one OF the real weapons Of the
animal creation.

Radical Intolerance.

It Is . favorite contention Of radical
tefoemers that economic royalists" and
"uginces OF privilege" are intolerant.
The notion, Of course. Is not new. In

French Revolution, The sponsors Of the
Reign Of Terror operated on the theory
that the survivors Of the Ancien Regime
were too fanatically conservative to be
allowed to live. During 1893 and 1874,
they sent to the guillotine persons Of

Vitamin G Easilv
Wasted in Cooking
Don't Lose Any; Eat
Fruits and Vegetables
By EDITH NJ. BARBER

A THOUGH the discovery that
vitamin c was a separate en-
tity took place within the last few
years, it has been recognized for
centuries that human beings, in the
absence Of fresh food, developed a
disease known as scurvy. Sailors
on long voyages were prone to de-
velop this disease in its severest
form. In 1772, however, we have
records that Captain Cook proudly
proclaimed upon his return from q
'three-year voyage that he had not
lost one man. He gave credit to
the use Of what he called sweet
wort" made from barley and sauer-
kraut- Later crews which had
stocked the galley with lines and
lemons when they stopped at a
tropical port were found to be i'm
mune.
Acute scurvy with its symptoms
OF sore mouth and loose teeth, black
and blue spots on the skin, and
soreness of the joints, is seldom en-
countered in this country. Sallow
skin, lack of energy and pains in
the limbs and joints, which used to
&c called growing pains" in the
case OF children, are now attributed
10 a shortage of vitamin c.
Foods which supply this vitamin
generously are fruits and vege-
tabless especially theAcitrus fruits,
apples, bananas, pineapple, straw
berries, raspberries, and peaches.
Among the vegetables we find to-
matoes, spinach, lettuce, cabbage,
carrots, potatoes, peas and onions
well endowed.
Vitamin c is easily destroyed by
cooking excepting in the case of
those fruits which contain large
amounts of acid Canned fruits and
tomatoes lose little. II is a good
habit, however, to serve daily raw
vegetables as well as fruits.

DOUBLE AFTER A BID

WHEN AN experienced player
has opened the auction with a suit
bid and then doubled on his next
turn, without having heard any
thing from his partner except a
pass, he is making an informative
double asking for a takeout. That
is, unless the doubled bid is two or
more no trump or at least three of
suit. In such circumstances, the
double of a suit bid Of three may
usually be treated as either for in
formation or for penalties, putting
it up to the partner to use his
Judgment.

You wrote a very sensible
article on the subject in your book

Adults, and the thing kind of died

is coming up again. Here is an

There is a picture of a middle-aged
man and his daughter and under
IT, it reads, What will you mean
to your children after so? Pick
up your telephone and make an ap-

1t all sounds very plausible but
there are some doubts in my mind.

West cashed the diamond A and
then switched to the heart 9, East
winning the trick with the A. He
returned a diamond, which South
ruffed. Two rounds of clubs
followed and on the third East
ruffed and South overruffed. When
a spade was led, West jumped in

which South won with the X. West
ruffed the next - heart lead and
cashed his two remaining spades

Three diamonds could have been
