Little Hats With
Turned-Up Brims

Little hats with their brims turned
up sharply on both sides to give a
tricorne effect are smart accompan-
iments for the fitted coats and dress
maker suits of this season.
Effective in its simplicity is one
of white linen-weave straw banded
and tied on with a narrow black
ribbon. Another plain Homburg
type of white pique with a deeply
creased crown and rolled-up brim
is also banded in black ribbon.

Comfortable Wedge
Shoe Now Popular

One reason for the popularity of
wedge shoes is that they present un-
usual foot comfort. They give excel
lent support to the instep and ankle
and create firm base for walking.
To tighten their somewhat heavy
appearance, many of the new YER
sions are trimmed with scroll cut
outs.
Some of the best liked styles are
made of elasticized serge or gabar-
dine fabrics. They are usually COM
bined with patent leather or kid.
Very light in weight, they cling to
the foot snugly and give it a we'll
fitted feeling that is very comfort
able.

Bead Necklaces Go
Way Down to Waist

Very new, in fact so new that the
vogue is just at its beginning, are
the long strands of beads women of

necklaces are the knotted type-a
knot between each bead.
Very ultra are the silk bead type,

whose small head was dropping
with fatigue. However, before
Jim left to drive Cathy over to
the night club he came out upon
the Bauer back porch which was
separated from his own merely
by the landing of the rear stair
case, and called out to Janet,
CPL be back in time to doll up
for the dance, Jan, old thing, old
dear. Get my white flannels out,
there's good gorl, and see if
you can locate a decent shirt for
me.
Jim Phillips, that same evening,
stood outside one of the wide
French doors opening off the
Country Club lounge onto a
screened veranda. From his point
of vantage he could observe with
out being observed.
He tried to fasten his gaze else-
where, but he was unable to turn
it from the scintillating person
of Miss Helen Sanders. Howard
Leigh was dancing only with
Miss Sanders.
AS a rule Howard did not
choose to carry his rudeness too
far where Ruth Hethcote was
concerned. It was no part of his
intention to let her escape him
entirely. However engrossing his
current affair. might be, he usual
ly gave some thought to Ruth's
pride, but not this night. Jim,
looking on with a frown, could
not bear the stricken look on
Ruth's face. ~
Howard, do run and get me a
drink" murmured Miss Helen
Sanders who had again strolled
out onto the veranda between
dances. "A champagne cocktail,
if you can find such a thing in
these parts" she went on languid-
ly. IF not, anything except that
perfectly atrocious concoction
your floor committee calls
punch"
Howard laughed. "I'm practi-
cally there and halfway back
with champagne cocktail, Beau
tiful."
He erred slightly, because he
had not expected to be button
holed outside the bar by Jim
Phillips. Heaven knows why"
said Jim grimly, 'but you can
wreck Ruth Hetchcote's evening
without half trying.
and what's that to you?" in
quired Howard.
"Just this" snapped Jim,

leaning against the railing of the

"Oh, it's you'll" she murmurar'

There was a prolonged silence

painfully. Aren't you being un.

Miss Sanders in a cool sweet
voice, the essence of disdain

"She's a spoiled brat who needs

still did not meet Anne's eye.

piping voice from the direction of
the rear porch. Come and get

"You bet!" cried Jim.
The interruption ended a dis
agreeable tension. Anne detected
relief in Jim's face as if he was
glad of an excuse to leap up from

THE GREAT NATIONAL PASTIME

(The following reprinted from Shirley Povichs sports
column in the Washington Post).
A mill executive volunteered this information to
"A us today: eve men who run the mills value
baseball highly. If get our folks interested
in ball games, they are less interested in commu-
nism and radicalism and strikes. The mills that
have the best ball teams have the least labor
troubles. There is rarely unrest where there is a
good baseball team. Maintenance of ball team
is part of our legitimate expense. It's guarantee
against labor agitators gaining foothold among
our workers. Without baseball, we'd have our
troubles"
The mill teams, in fact, pay better wages to
their ball players than the organized leagues in
the State. Two years ago the Charlotte club of
the Piedmont League bought an outfielder named
Dan Amaral from Winston-Salem. Three days
later, Charlotte wondered why he hadn't reported
Later it developed that Amara had signed with
the Kannapolis Mills, maker of Cannon towels
Enroute to Charlotte he had been intercepted by
the mill team manager and given salary of $500
month, twice much as he would have received
a. Charlotte y
That's the way these mill teams work it. They
are unhampered by the salary limits of organized
ball. In the Class B. Piedmont League, the aver
age player receives $50 month. The mill towns
in a Class d. league are supposed to have 81 200
month salary limit for all Of their club, but they
are apt to pay player 500 month for playing
ball and 5000 a month for taking soft job as
timekeeper at the mills.

MORE COOPERATION NATIONAL NEED

Department. American Federation Of Labor, re-
Gently made an arresting plea for more democracy
and cooperation in our economic system. Address
ing the Middletown o., Trades and Labor Council
he pointed out that must make democracy

racy is a failure. Making democracy work more
effectively is matter Of self-preservation he in
ferred, in words that deserve wide circulation.
Mr.. Frey pointed out the obvious advantages of
legislation agreed to by representatives of manage
ment and labor in joint conference and went on to
say:
"'Ihe time has come when there must be more
meetings around the conference table between
management and labor. 1t is the American way
1t is the application in country of democracy

Industrial democracy and political democracy

government is a dictatorship with its planned ma

BAD SAFETY REPORT

A MERICA piled up traffic death toll of 2,170
lives in the short month of February-a 10
per cent increase over the same month of last
year, the National Safety Council reports
It is feared there has been little, if any i'm
in the traffic safety situation since the
end of February.
10 make the picture more gloomy, the four
months had shown increases in high
way deaths as compared with the previous year.
Evidently the situation calls even more imper-
atively than in past years for effective safety
action everywhere.
AS pointed out before, organized labor has a
special interest in highway safety, as auto deaths
add considerably to the financial burden on unions
which pay death benefits.
Safety committees in every central body could
help to promote road safety in many ways, includ-
ing working for safer highways, strict enforce
ment of traffic rules and regulations and elimin-
alton of the deadly railroad grade crossing.

A. F. OF l.. RUBBER WORKERS
CHALK u PMORE VICTORIES

Chicago GLNS).-Chalk up two
more victories for Rubber Workers
Union, Local No. 20911, of Chicago,
American Federation of Labor affili-
ate!
Winning victories is getting to be
habit, according to William Thomas,
president of the union, who an
nounced that the union had signed an
agreement with the Van Norman
Molding Co., and renewed it's contract
with the Rubber Products Co.
Hourly wage minimums of so cents,
for the unskilled help, to S212 cents,
for the skilled, and the 42-hour week,
with time and one-half for overtime
and double time for Sundays and
holidays, were among provisions of
the contract signed by the Van Nor
man company. The new agreement
with the Rubber Products Co. is de-
cided improvement over the old,
Thomas said, and under it the COM
pany will operate its plant on 40
hour week basis, pay it's employees
hourly wage rates ranging from 30
cents, for beginners, to 70 cents, for
skilled workers, with time and one
half for overtime, double time for
Sundays and holidays.
Pay increases for the employees of
both companies averaged IL to Is per
cent Recognition of the union as the
sole collective bargaining agency was
provided for in the contracts.

WE LEARN BY DOING

CHILDREN who have everything done for them
~ don't learn to do things themselves
They do not develop initiative and sef-reliance.
If thrown on their own resources, they have
trouble.
Just so with citizens of a nation.
If government activities, regulation and control
take in too much territory, citizens learn to look
toward government for the things they ought to
do themselves. Their ability to act effectively is
weakened.
The American Federation Of Labor knows
there is no substitute for voluntary, cooperative
action in many fields of human endeavor.
Voluntary cooperative action makes for de-
mocracy and faith in democratic principles. 1t is
the antithesis of totaltarism and the whole Fas-
cist- NaZi- Communist idea.

INSIGNIA OF FAIR PLAY

INCREASED activity on behalf of the union label
is reported by labor papers in many sections.
Business men who handle union label products
and employ union workers benefitting from
this activity.
Union men and women everywhere are alert to
the need of promoting the demand for union label
goods and services.
They know that the union label is notification
to the purchaser that goods bearing it are made
10y American wage earners receiving fair wages
and working under good conditions.
They are emphasizing that the union label is an
insignia of American fair play and such is de-
serving of the support of every American who has
the interests of his country at heart.

dications that the downward curve of business
activity has been flattening out and latest reports
show the curve turning upward again, with gains
in various industries,
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany reports income up sharply in the first quar-
ter Of this year and backlog Of untitled orders on
March 81 of S82, ,637 841 one Of the largest in the
company's history. The comparable figures for
March 81, 1889, was $46,924,240. This hardly
looks as if business was headed for the rocks, as
Westinghouse sells to many industries, it's prod
ucts ranging from giant motors, dynamos, turbines
and other heavy goods to a wide variety of house
hold electrical appliances. All Westinghouse plants
are reported busy and most working full time.
The Westinghouse report is only one straw.
However, it indicates that all is not gloom in the
industrial field and it may we'll be augury of
substantial business improvement in the near
future.
