CAUTION DURING THE
TEEN AGE

When boys and girls go to high
school and later to college they are
likely to become careless of their
health and unwilling to admit that
they do not feel physically up to the
mark 1t is all too common when the
search is made by school physicians
to find students with early tubercu-
losis playing on football or basketball
teams. This is dangerous situation
because the symptoms if present at
all may be so slight as to excite no
alarm. AS the result Of indifference,

For Better HOmemaking

Washing clothes is definite science
that has to do with ridding fabrics of
accumulated soil and bacteria. Dur
ing recent survey it was discovered
that the average laundress uses only
1t gallons of water for every pound
of clothes washed. This probably ac-
counts for the high bacteria count in
most home washing and the gradual
CRAVING of fabrics. Ten complete
changes of water should be used; five
baths of rich suds for loosening soil
and five baths of sterile rinsing water
for disposing of loosened soil and bac-
terra.
Do you have trouble locating pots
and kettles? Then it's time to revamp
the cupboard. 1t probably will save
your disposition as well as your time.
Fasten narrow bars across the back
of tall cabinet. Screw hooks to the
bars and hang utensils on the hooks.
Have lower shelf for shallow pans

Pantry Palaver

Chefs Hints: Stuffed peppers, toma-
toes and apples keep their shapes bet
ter if baked in muffin pans or indi-
vidual baking dishes.
A mixture of grated cheese and
chopped parsley dresses up the tops
of plain, seasoned vegetables. Slip
under the broiler second to brown.
Grated hard-cooked egg yolks and
chopped pimentos or green peppers
dress up the tops of escalloped mix
lures. Add decoration during the last
ten minutes of baking.
Make carrot balls by cutting cooked
carrots with a French vegetable cut
ter. Used with creamed potatoes or
macaroni. Use the leftover carrots
in soups or salads.
A dish that is different for the Len

bread. Scoop out center, brush out
side of loaf with melted butter and
place on baking sheet ready for filing.
Break can of salmon into large

the disease is allowed to progress to
the serious stage. A case Of early
tuberculosis treated promptly by rest,
good food and fresh air has an excel

determine whether or not disease has
developed.

JOHN P. FREY TO
TALK AT LABOR
DINNER APRIL 3
MiddletOwn Trades and Labor Council
Brings Prominent Labor Man
to Middletown.

Middletown, Ohio.-To celebrate it's
thirty-fourth anniversary, the Middle
town Trades and Labor Council will
stage banquet at the Hotel Man
chester on Wednesday, April 8.
John P. Frey, president of the Metal
Trades Division of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, Washington, D. c.,
will come here to make the principal
address at the dinner. He has been
prominent in A. F. of L. activities
since 1896, and is regarded by busi-
ness as one of the soundest men in
labor today.
Two other labor executives we'll
known locally have indicated they will
be in attendance at the celebration.
They are Thomas ]. Donnelly, secre-
treasurer, and M. J. Lyden, presi-
dent, of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor Robert Lukens, local president,
said many more figures of state and
national prominence have been invited
to attend.
Lukens now is working on his COM
mittee personnel which will assume
various duties in connection with the
event He said he would announce the
chairmen within few days, probably
after the American Legion banquet at
the hotel Wednesday night.
Erau on, ha, of tho oJvicorx,
committee, Division of Labor Stand
ards, of the United States Department
of Labor He also is a member of the
advisory committee on vocational
training, Department of the Interior,
at Washington, D. c., and of the So
cial Security Committee of the A. F..
of L.
He has direct connection with Ohio
labor In 1924 he was elected presi-
dent of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, holding the position until the
middle of 1928. From 1917 to 1921
he served as president of the Board of
education at Norwood. After the
World War he was chairman of the
committee on reconstruction. In 1918
he was member of the first and sec
ond labor mission sent to allied coun-
tries under authorization of President
Woodrow Wilson. In 1927, President
Calvin Coolidge appointed Frey as la
Dor adviser and expert of the United
States delegation, International Eco
nomic Conference at Geneva, Switz-
erland
All of the trades unions affiliated
with the Middletown Trades and La
Dor Council have indicated an eager
ness to make efforts to get a large and
representative portion of the general
public to attend their celebration and
to hear Frey's views on current labor
questions. They feel, Lukens said,
that in his manner a clearer under
standing will then prevail on the sub
ject of labor as exemplified by the

bership. But the best estimate runs
around 100000, which is a good dou-
bling of the 1920 figures, as the Wom-
ems Bureau records those figures.
Women hold number of elective
Offices, but some of the best work is
being done by women organizers. A.
F. of L. conventions do not necessarily
offer a good guide to the part women
play in the ranks of union labor. Only
Ia women were delegates to the last
A. F. of L. convention. But among
the visitors present were several
women who were active and impor-
tant as leaders, though they had no
voice in the convention.
The l. 7. U. has always had women
members who were important in local
union affairs-and they have been, by
and large, crackerjack compositors,
too.
Women organizers have been more
than efficient in helping the CONNER
cial Telegrapher's Union win out in
the Western Union field against the
c. l. O., which has tried hard to get a
toehold in that big communications
company. Of course there have been
women telegraphers always, and w. u.
still employs many women, but that
is not why the women organizers have
done such a grand job. Their ability
is the factor that has put the thing
across. The U. T. w., too, has relied
on women organizers. And in this
and several other organizations, in
GLIDING the A F. of L., women staff
members have done brilliant work as
researchers, statisticians and propa-
gandists.
In the theatrical field women play
a great part. Equity has two women
vice-presidents; with nine women
council members out of as Similarly
the American Federation of Actors
has three women council members.
Three out of Is Hotel and Restaurant
Employees presidents are women
and women here also do great organ
izing work. One third of the vice
presidents of the American Federation
of Teachers are women. The United
Garment Workers Union has two
women board members. Only woman
international union secretary, so far
as the record shows, is in the official
family of the American Federation of
Government Employees. At least six
teen unions occupy fields in which
there is heavy employment of women.
Women are forging ahead and doing
their job as well as men do theirs.

That when cane chair seats begin
to sag, shrink them back into place
like this: Turn the chairs upside down
and wash the cane with warm water
and soap suds; rinse well, saturate
with clear warm water and dry.
To keep brush bristles stiff soak
them every two weeks in salt water.
Hanging up brooms and brushes will
keep the bristles from bending.
To remove wax from non-washable
materials place clean blotter on the
wax and press the wrong side with a
warm iron. The blotter will absorb
the wax.
If the material will wash then rub
wax with lard and then turpentine and
roll up for two hours. Wash in the
usual way.
Paint spots on cement steps and
sidewalks can be removed with a
strong solution of washing soda in
water. This softens the paint so it
can be scraped off.
