September's highway traffic deaths
will likely run something under ia
talities for the corresponding month
last year; but by no means as far
under as the tremendously reduced
Labor Day deaths indicated.
Through Friday the Safety Divi-
sion had officially received reports
on II September fatalities, against
105 in September, 1888, but the di-
vision had unofficial notice Of
enough more to make it certain there
Will be no startling or drastic re-
duction this time. This despite the
fact that there were only two Labor
Day weekend deaths this year
against no less than 81 last but even
with that fine a start, the good work
couldn't be Wept up.
Incidentally, the Safety Division
would be able to get out its monthly
reorts much more rapidly if peace
officers (sheriffs, chiefs of police and
cen State Highway PatroImen)
would observe the law and report
all fatalities to the division as the
statutes enjoin.
But being 1.-The law" themselves,
they no doubt feel superior to the
requirements made ordinary citizens
by the law
The appointment of Miss Mary
Graham Groom as recitionist and in
formation clerk in the Capitol rO-
tunda is a perfect example of how
tax payers get saddled with useless
and unnecessary governmental en-
plOyees. Here's the record: There
never has been a receptionist and
information clerk, the public getting
along just fine without one; but dur
ing the legislature somebody con-
ceiVed the notion that a guide to
show visitors around would be a
good thing as "Uncle Dan" Terry
was out of commission and unable
to do the things he had been doing.
So "Colonel" Stell was named to the
post, which was a 500 a month sine
cure. When it was admitted that
there was no longer the slightest rea-
son or excuse for a guide was the
position abolished and the public
saved 500 month? Not so it could
be noticed. The attractive Miss
Groom, who is politically potent
enough to have been elected National
CommitteeWOman of the Young
Democrats was "talken care of at
the expense Of 500 a month and of
the ousted "Colonel" Few officers
die, none resign, and no offices are
ever abolished.

Imagination and Creative
Achievement
JANETTE STEVENSON
MURRAY

By the time the child is two years
old, he begins to show imaginative
fancies; the dolly laughs, the auto
does not want to wait, the holes in the
waffle outline houses. Although this
imagination reaches it's height during
the years between four and six, it con-
tinues through life, being more marked
in some individuals than in others.
Sammie Dow is in the imaginative
stage now. His mother told us that
last wash day he got out the pots and
pans and made cakes all the morn
ing. OF course she was asked to taste
each one. Later on when she started
to clear up the kitchen, Sammie help
ed nicely until she picked up a small
cookie-cutter which he had put on
chair. Then he burst into tears and
she tried in vain to comfort him.
Finally, he made her understand that
what looked to her like cookie-cutter
was to him a cake-made especially for
Daddy. Of course she put it back on
the chair to await the cakemaker's
pleasure, and she delighted Sammie by
having him describe the cake. 1t was
chocolate with white frosting. The
little fellow even told about mixing
eggs and sugar and flour and baking
the cake. The chair, it seemed, was
the oven. They discussed how long
he had to leave it there.
The cake was real to him for after
an hour and a half of playing outside
with no thought Of cakemaking, the
instant Mr.. Dow appeared, Sammie
dashed inside for the cake. The
cookie-cutter was presented to Daddy
and the little boy danced in glee while
his father admired the imaginary cake
and pretended to eat it with reliesh.
Then Sammie again went all over the
history of the cake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dow have given us a
good example of how we may enter
wholeheartedly into the child's spirit
of make-believe. We must be ready
to pretend that leaf is hat and a
clcthespin, doll; to order groceries
from an imaginary storekeeper; or to
converse with an invisible "grown-
up" lady visitor about her children and
her housekeeping problems.
These fancies and conceits should
be ecouraged because later in life
imagination has great value. 1t pre-
cedes all creative achievement. For
example: the milliner visions how the
hat looks when worn, before she be-
gins to trim it; the cook pictures the
bright colored salad on the plates at
the table, before she prepares her
luncheon; the historian recreates char
acters, and lives over events, before
he writes his book; the interior dec
orator sees the finished room COM
plete with rugs, furniture, and
draperies, before he plans for paper
ing the walls and painting the wood
work and floors.
1t is true that we should direct this
imagination and protect our children
from its dangers, but while doing this,
we must be careful not to ,stifle the
imagination itself. 1t is a priceless
heritage. Life without imagination is
barren.

representation with the rights and
privilege Of other A. r. Of l.. unions.
6.-The A. +. Of l.. would agree to
specify certain industries where the
industrial form Of organization would
apply.
This formula was proposed by the
A. +. Of l.. committee in the sincere
belief that it offers the only fair and
practical solution Of the entire con.
troversy.
The question was raised at the CON
ferences in New York last week as to
whether the American Federation Of
Labor would be willing to readmit the
original seeding unions with charters
covering the jurisdictions in which
they now operate.
1t was pointed out that some Of
these unions have broadened the fields
in which they formerly functioned.
Accordingly, President William Green
agreed to call special session Of the
American Federation Of Labor's Ex-
ecutive Council March 22 in Washing
ton to decide this new issue.
The Peace Committee representing
the American Federation of Labor in
the joint conferences is composed of
Vice Presidents Harry C. Bates, Mat
thew Woll, T. A. Rickert and Daniel
]. Tobin. The c. |. o. committee in
cludes John l.. Lewis, Philip Murray
and Sidney Hillman.
Both sides met for the first time
with President Roosevelt in the White
House on March T. 1t was at this
meeting that the G. /. O. Committee
submitted a proposal which was fatty
rejected by the A. F. of l.. Committee.
The reasons for this rejection are ex-
planned in the committees statement
which appears in full in this issue.
The second meeting was held in the
Department of Labor Building March
8, after which the conference recessed
until March 10, when it reconvened in
the Hotel Biltmore, New York City.
Four meetings in all were held there
and at the conclusion Of the March ID
session, it was agreed to adjourn until

They still talk at Sing Sing about
the prisoner who always grumbled at
everything. When he was sentenced
to death, and as he felt the courtroom,
he grumbled, "Silly old duffer. Why
does the judge want to keep me wait
ing three weeks ?"
The Black Maria was waiting and
he grumbled about having to ride in
"a blooming booby-hatch like that"
and demanded taxi.
Being in death row, he could order
what he liked, and he had steak. AS
soon as he got his knife into it he
grumbled at "this here confounded
tough meat again."
At night he complained of his mat
tress, and by day he grumbled at his
cell. At last came the time for the
execution. The man was placed in the
chair and pinioned. Then the warden
said, soothingly, "Now you're all
right"
81 don't know about that" replied
the grumbling prisoner. "This bloom
ing seat don't seem any too safe to
