That was the week Bart bought the soap-shaker in the 10-cent store. He had, he told Iris, noticed they used quite a lot of soap flakes in the kitchen, and back home his mother had always saved the thin wafers of soap left over and used them in the soap-shaker. It saved quite a bit.
 "Use toilet soap to wash dishes, Bart?" Iris challenged incredu- lously.
 Why not, Iris? If it's fit to

DonneIIy Finishes
Twenty-Six Yeors
usOSFL Secretary
Hds Been Reelected Contin-
uouslY Since Taking Office
Murch 8. 1913
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, o. Twenty-six years
continuous service as secretary-treas-
urer of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, state branch of the American
Federation of Labor, were completed
by Thomas j. Donnelly on March 8.
He assumed the office of secretary
treasurer on March 8, 1913, following
the death of Harry d. Thomas, and
has been unanimously reelected to
office since that time.
Columbus newspapers reported the
anniversary in their news columns,
and the Ohio State Journal carried the
following editorial comment:
"TOm Donnelly"
"Not only is Thomas j. Donnelly to
be congratulated on having served
more than a quarter of century as
secretary of the Ohio State Fedora
ton Of Labor, but the organized toll
ers, too, are fortunate to have as their
guardian, crusader and representative
man such as he.
NATURALLY, Mr.. Donnelly's chief in
terest is in the welfare of labor and
especially of that portion of labor that
is enrolled in the Federation. But en-
ployers almost universally will say
that he has been square shooter, and
in the things which he has helped to
accomplish legislatively the public has
shared the benefit along with the Fed
Grafton members.
"Donnelly has always been easily
approachable. He is genial and friend
ly. He has recognized that the en-
ployers and the public have rights as
we'll as labor. He has never given ear
to revolutionary doctrines or to sub
versive isms. Not, in the usually ac-
cepted sense, is he politician, but he
knows the political procedure and how
to make the most Of it. All in all, we
do not believe that labor has wiser,
filter and more respected representa-
tive on earth than Tom Donnelly."
In addition to his duties as secre-
tary-treasurer, Mr.. Donnelly is legis-
lative agent of the Ohio State Fedora
tion Of Labor, and in that capacity has
been successful in having enacted
many noteworthy legislative measures
affecting labor and the public welfare.
He was leading figure in the fight
to establish the old age pension sys-
tenn in Ohio, and was member of
the Commission which studied unem-
ployment compensation and recon-
mended the enactment of that form of
social legislation.
His ability and achievements in the
field of labor legislation have been
recognized by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, which he has represent
ed on national committees and confer
ences dealing with labor legislation.
Before entering upon his career in
the state branch of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, he served several
terms as president and secretary of
the Cincinnati Central Labor Council,
and as president of Cincinnati Typo
graphical Union No. 3 in 1905, 1906,
and 1907, during which time he was
successful in establishing the eight
hour day for printers in Cincinnati.

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-Milk,
which is the real staff of life of child
rem under five years, came before the
monopoly committee in the statement
of Frederick C.. Howe, former Con-
sumers Counsel of the AAA. He laid
before the committee the prices last
year in IL cities; the average price
paid the farmer f. o. b. for the city,
the price paid by the consumer, and
the spread between the farmers price
and the consumers price.
In II Of the IL cities, the spread was
larger than the farmers price. In
Boston, the consumer paid 13 cents a
quart; the farmers price was 6.S8
quart; so the spread was only 6.12
cents quart. But in New York, the
farmers price was 3.5 cents, the con-
sumer, on an average, paid 13.1 cents;
while the spread was S.6 cents. In
three other cities, the spread was over
Z cents; Washington, Kansas City, and
San Francisco.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission figures for corporation sala-
ries are not yet in for 1888, which is
the year for the milk figures. But in
1887, the president of the National
Dairy Product Corporation got "com-
pensation" of S105, $50. Borden's presi-
dent had salary of only s95 GOO, and
died during the year. But ID Borden
directors got 281,746; and ID other
employees drew 1854 ,989.

Just a little over a year ago, the
WPA gave summing Of some of the
things it had done in the two years
ending October l, 1897. Some of this
work was the construction of:
11,l06 public buildings.
43,870 miles of highways, roads and
streets.
1922 new bridges.
1,500 miles Of roadside drainage
bitches.
1866 miles Of water mains, aque-
ducts or distribution lines.
1880 storage dams
5,692 miles of storm and sanitary
sewers.
These are just part of the WPA
new construction work in its first two
years. In public buildings, highway,
bitches and dams, from 2l2 to 5 times
as many things were repaired and ex-
tended as well built anew.
X x
To show that the WPA hasn't lost
any energy, here are some works
which Administrator Harrington re-
Gently reported finished:
1927 new public buildings complete
and 5,l25 repaired and improved in
the four months from July ! to No
vember /, last year. Of these public
buildings, new, improved and en-
larged, $3.50 were educational, 1852
schools and the rest libraries; $40
were recreational structures; IS new
firehouses; lis new courthouses and
other administrative buildings; and
"26 new institutional buildings, such
as hospitals and jails."
In the same four months, the WPA
finished 2S4 miles Of new sewers, 141
miles of water lines, 81 new storage
dams-and so on, and so on.
This is by no means all WPA work;
it is merely a few kinds of things it
has done which can be grouped to-
gether, are reasonably permanent, and
easily understood. And Congress
wants to cut that work by slash of
$3.50, 100000.
Sunset Cox once declared that there
are three grades of human veracity:
liars, id liars, and experts If he
were on hand now, he probably would
say there are three grades of human
folly; fools, id fools, and people
who want to wipe out work relief.

while Keystone advised the children
be instructed in the rules of the
road"
THE presence on the streets of
happy youngsters proudly displaying
rainbow -colored bicycles and wag-
ons does much to spread holiday
cheer" said the A. A. A., "but there
is no thrill In watching youngsters
take chances in traffic and the
heeby-j -jeebies of frantic motorists
trying to avoid striking children
enjoying their gifts from Santa
Claus. Toys on wheels have their
place-but that place is away from
traffic.
Many children have not become
accustomed to their new playthings.
Tiny legs soon get wobbly from
strenuous use. Carefree and adven-
turous youngsters take chances, such
as speeding downhill, riding bicycles
with hands off the handlebars, thus
adding to the hazards of traffic. The
holady season is time for alertness
to new street and highway dangers"
For the benefit of millions of fond
parents the national motoring body
listed the following suggestions
which should be impressed upon
young America on Christmas morn
ing at the Christmas tree:
l. Use bicycles, wagons. skates,
scooters and other wheeled play
things away from traffic. This is
particularly important while learn
ing to ride or skate.
2. Cross streets only at intersec-
tions, obey traffic signals and keep
the head up instead of admiring
offerings from Santa Claus while in
traffic.
3. Never ride or coast downhiu on
a street or road leading into heavy
traffic
4. Avoid such games as follow
the leader" where it requires chance
taking and showing off" in a way
that will encourage others to incur
risks.
5. Remember that the curb is the
danger line, that lights and bells on
playthings are there to be used and,
above all, don't take chances.

Second Thoughts on Shows.
With the automobile shows again
back into history, certain reactions
may be worth noting. Motordom
suffers constantly from lack of
frank, constructive criticism. Each
make is viewed as hit, and be-
cause there can be no such thing
as all ideas being the best. the auto
mobile industry perennlally suffers,
/ for it becomes the victim of the
worst criticism of all-public apathy

early reactions to this years batch

than styling. The latter does not

a suggestion of richness and close
attention to those details which
have always caught the fancy of a
! gadget- nation. Design, to be
acceptable, must be functional in a
device as essentially mechanical as
an automobile. A famed car which

The public still demands comfort

motorist to favor elimination of run

long before the 1899 cars were un-
veiled the vote was IS per cent in
favor OF producing the line without
running boards, but the factory
wisely decided to give the public
its choice. Now rs per cent of the
cars ordered by customers for this
company are equipped with running
boards.
There was practically no increase
in horsepower this year. Fact is.
We already have more power than
necessary and more speed than
