TO CONSIDER LIMITATION OF WOMEN'S HOURS OF LABOR (By United Press) Portland, Ore.,, Nov. 24.-—A 48- hours of labor a week law for women will be placed before the Oregon state legisluture when it meets the second Monday in January, by the Consumers’ League of Portland. This act provides that women may not work tor wages more than 48 hours a week. 1t does not, however, limit their labor to eight hours a day. The idea is that women may work more than eight hours, five days a week, so they may have a half-holiday on Saturdays, Man as a Meat Eater. That wman has caten beef, pork and fish since the remotest ages is deduced by Professor M. W. Lyon, Jr., of the George Washington unlversity, in an article in Scicnce, from the life his- tory of three specles of tapeworm, These three—the Toenla saginata, or beef tupeworm; Toenla sollum, or pork tapeworm, and Dibothriocephalus la- tus, or fish tapeworm-—are highly dit- terentiated. Part of thelr lives they spend in human beings, part in the animals from which they are named, and both these hosts are necessary to thelr development. “We have no evidence that specles = ——— held taut by two ropes, oiie called a tack and another called a sheet.

Now, suppose that all three of a ship's salls were quite free. They would then tly about very crazlly, and the ship would wabble, TRe course of the ship would be a zig- zag one, and the reason for this would be that she had ‘three sheets in the | ™ wind, That, 1 guess, is why a man . when he zigzags in his course 18 said | 5F to be ‘three sheets in the wind' also.” Peasants Wore Platinum Buttons. “With platinum now costing around’ $00 an ounce,” said a widely known br manufacturing jeweler of this city, “it | 8¢ may be hard to believe that half a cen la tury or 8o ago peasants in Russia were wearlng buttous of this metal on their clothing. They were also using it for | co handles of knives, forks and umbrel las, and the workmen in the jewelry shops were using it for making ‘pickle’ pans, a contrivance, now made of cop- per, that plays quite an important part in the making of jewelry. At that time platinum cost about $3 an ounce, and in Russia It was so plentiful because there wus so little use for it that the Russian government declded to make colus ot It In lieu of silver.

Not by a long shot. It you are a farmer, it is the prod- uct of the soil. What soil? Why, the soil of your community. Now you as a practical farmer, know full well the results of the ruinous prac- tice of taking everything from your land and returning nothing to it. You know that this practice must sooner or later impoverish your soil and destroy your source of income. Can’t you realize that in sending your money away from home you are doing to the community just what vou would not think of doing to your farm-—robbing it of its productive | power? You certainly are. Every dollar sent away from your commu- nity robs of it just that much of its | power for good. But perhaps you are not a farmer, but a woodsman, a mechanic or trad- | er hen the responsibility rests even more heavily upon you to keep | vour money in the home channels of | - trade, because all of it comes from | the ha arnings of your ne bors | and s and you have no right to! deprive the community of the gmnl“ it can do if clreulated therein. | No man has a right to be disloyal to his community.
