EVEN SO small a thing as a

So if laces become soiled, don't
discard them. Launder them.
Use lukewarm, soapy water and
scrub with a hand brush. Rinse
thoroughly and hang over a rod
to dry. Press with a moderate
hot iron, taking care not to touch
metal tips, else the enamel coat

In 1904 I was elected first vice
president on a referendum vote and
in 1907 elected general secretary
treasurer which of course carried with
it the job of lobbyist before the Legis-
lature for labor laws. 1t was the most
interesting and enjoyable time of my
labor career. During this time we
raised the labor department from. one
man to nineteen and passed many laws
now in effect, created a factory in
spection department, free state en-
ployment offices and laws regulating
the fee offices, 1aborers' lien laws,
building safety and one particular
law making the owner responsible for
ali debts contracted by those firms
they let out contracts to. A State
Child Labor law and one granting
pensions to widows with dependents
were also passed.
Our State Federation was strong
for laws that were general in scope,
refusing to recognize small matters
that concerned but the few. For
instance, we had a law regulating
and licensing horse-shoers and we
found only twenty-seven horse
shoers in the state. The coal miners
came to us with the copy of a
safety law and turning to the com.

The situation is more highly crit ical this time because of the posi- ton of Egypt asa stepping stone for German-Japanese junction in India, a condition that did not hold before Japan's successful drives through Burma to the Indian border.
 Some observers see German armies trying to smash their way through the Caucasus, Iran and Afghanistan to join the Japs in In- dia. For the Germans to attempt a march across the mountainous wastes of Iran and Afganistan to India would be an almost inSuper- able job.

819 Auto Graveyards
 Yield Tons Of Metal
COnnecticuts 2O7 Stations Sends Second Largest
 Shipment From New England-War Program Aided

Boston, June 23-Stocks of scrap iron aud steel necessary to keep the nations steel mills operating at wartime capacity have been sub stantially augmented by metal sal- vaged from automobile graveyards formation Office, IT Court street, in New England, the Regional 1n- reported today.
 Figures compiled by Herbert J. Denner, New England representa- tive of the automobile graveyards section of the War Production Boards bureau of industrial conser- vation, show that more than 31 ,000 tons of scrap iron and steel enough to build battleship-were shipped out of automobile wreckers' yards in New England between March 1 and June 1.
 During February, the WPA and the United States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the WIPE bureau of industH sl cnnser- vation, made a survey which showed that there were 73,412 worn-out au- tomobiles in 819 junk yards in New England on March last. The aver age automobile contains approxi- mately 1,50O pounds of ferrous scrap metal vitally needed in war produc- ton.
 Through the efforts of the auto- mobile graVeyardS section, 42,2l6 Of those cars, representing more than ST per cent of the total inventory, and yielding 31,356 tons 10 scrap iron and steel, have been moved to the steel mills. Offlcials of the section estimate that in addition more than 10000 tons have been shipped by scrap dealers from whom no reports have been received.
 Besides the ferrous scrap metals the New England automobile grave wards have also yielded large quarl- titles of scrap copper, b. AGA Ancr lead, aluminium and rubber.
 "Effortsto keep the country's au- tomobile graveyards as active pro- ducers of scrap metal are bringing results" MT. Denner said. "These graveyards should continue to be one of the chief sources of scrar metal critically needed in the pro- d,ction of guns, planes, tanks, ships and other weapons for our fighting forches." :.
 Connecticut with POT graveyards recorded the second largest ship ment in New England.
