The surprising feature of the controversy to the average reader, of course, would be the allegation that an organization controlled by a labor union declines to employ members of another union. The novel feature of the situation will interest the public. The situation also may soften the attitude of some people who e been prone to accept the protestations of some that “Big Business” on the one side is engaged in reducing employes to slavish conditions and that union labor, on the other, is engaged solely in securing the entire wealth of employers. Human impulses doubtless have played an import- ant part in the violent difference of views between the heads of two great labor organizations; there also is in the con- troversy evidence that a difference between employers and employes may be an honest one and spring from a varying viewpoint. The situation is food for introspection. One of the bulwarks of the United Mine Workers is the check - off em, under which mine owners collect dues from the miners, substracting them from wages. This sys- tem, Warren S. Stone, head of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers and chairman of the board owning the Coal River Collieries, says is a vicious system and he will not accept it There are many coal operators who share his belief, while others have signed contracts accepting the system. Mr. Stone declares that he would not sign an agreement which would give the miners’ organization the right to. say who should or should not remain at work in the mining camps, and adds that any man who is unclean morally. drinks or mistreats his family must go. Some radicals have; accused Henry Ford and other employers of pernicious pa- ternalism in adopting much the same system. The Coal River Collieries Company is charged by the miners with operating its mines in Kentucky on a non-union basis and in keeping its mines in West Virginia idle rather than sign the union scale. Mr. Stone replied: “The mem- bers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who have invested some $3,000,000 in these properties, are entitled to some return on their investment, and I think you will concede this, and yet at the present price at which coal is selling, and the cost of mining under the Jacksonville Agree- ment, it is impossible for the union mines to break even.” The quarrel is one between two labor organizations. However, those who read the interesting correspondence which passed between the heads of two great labor unions, one acting in the role of an employer, will come to the con-j} clusion that fair-minded reasoning, a spirit of live and let live, is necessary to avoid such disputes. WASP-WAIST The wasp-waist is returning to torture women and in- jure the next generation of babies, corset makers claim. Already the wasp- waist is appearing here and there in Europe. : They predicted the same thing about hoop skirts. Bob- bed hair has been doomed times over. High French heels have started our way again innumerable times, and never arrived. American women no longer ape crazy fashions willingly. They increasingly dress for health and comfort, possibly intuitively sensing that men are more attracted by natural feminine beauty than by caricatures of it. BACK International trade between nations is steadily increas- ing—getting back toward normal after the war-time upset. It’s difficult to tell just how much, on account of the almost constant changes in foreign money values. But, in the first six months this year, the tonnage of exports from seven leading countries showed a gain over the corresponding per- iod of 1923, and in imports five gained while only two dropped. <<» The ploughshares, beaten from swords, will soon be as y DISEASED fhe trouble isn’t so much that we have too many laws, “put that too much time is wasted enforcing the wrong ones. se sae ‘was corn or rye whisky. Here’s a case. Every community has an ordinance against spitting on sidewalks, in street cars and other public places. Few local regulations are more important, yet how often is the expectorater arrested? If you can think of anything that should be safeguarded more than the public’s health, trot it forth. The victim of .the most terrible contagious diseases can spit all over the ‘walk without much danger of arrest. But just let him get caught buying a, flask of whisky or violating parking rules.

B. Carlson of the North Dakota department, Amer- can Legion, and Jack Williams, ate adjutant, attending the na- tional convention, are here for a/ | special purpose. General Frank T.| | Hines, head of the Veterans’ bu- | reau, is also here and the North | Dakotans have him in view. There purpose is to get a gov- ernment hospital for North Dako- tans in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana — the other states of the Tenth district— | each have hospitals for the care of their disabled vei ns. But when |the North Dakota disabled “vet- eran requires hospital attentton— he is compelled to leave home. The government does not own 4 single hospital bed in that state. North Dakotans cling to their own state, in sickness or in health. kotans regain health more quickly | in the clear, dry air of home than anywhere else, and that they rest easier with home folks around them. Some of them actually pre- fer to be sick in North Dakota than to be convalescent anywhere else. . Besides, North Dakota had more casualties in proportion to the number of men in action than any other state. Having survived the pelting ice of ‘blizzards, the hot winds of summer — what was 1 shower of machine gun bullets or the belching heat of an exploding shell to them? They waded in and being of a size that made a target—they suffered. Now they are asking, through their state commandant and adjutant, that they be given leave to be sick and to be cared for at home. Why not? ‘Let them have that hospital. They will keep on being sick until they do. General Hines might just as well capitulate. HAVE A HEART, BRAZIL! (Cleveland Plain Dealer) The 5-cent sandwich chased the 5-cent piece of pie into the obliv-/| ion of all but forgotten blessings. Now a convention of restaurant men is told that the 5-cent cup of coffee must follow. pears, is to blame. It seems a long time ago that 3-cent eating houses flourished, and coffee and sinkers formed the staple break-} jfast for men whose pockets were as flat as their stomachs. Life among the quick and greas- ‘ies won't be the same if Brazil persists. Taking the time-honored price tag off the Mocha mug takes away its democracy. It's * like turning sandlot baseball into golf. |The coffee, may be just as good, {and the mug a little cleaner, but charging more than, a nickel for it -is as much lese majesty as it would be to call the prince of Wales by a nickname. A nation deprived of 5-cent coffee might be in a condi- tion almost as serious as some of the campaign orators would have us believe. . ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON INDIAN TOBIES Now when this story begins it isn’t going to have anything to do with Nancy or Nick or Mister Snip Snap. But before it ends it is going to have a great deal to say about them. Just you wait and see. It’s about Scamper and Scramble Squirrel who were staying with their grandparents in Maple Tree Flats so jthey could go to Meadow Grove School and get an education, their own house being too far away to come such a distance every day. One Friday after school Scamper and Scrample passed an Indian toby tree. There it was, hanging all over with long brown beans that looked for all the world like cigars or tobies. “Let’s get some,” said Scamper. “Let’s agreed Scramble. So up they climbed and pulled off a whole bunch of the tobies and stuffed them into their pocke' Than they slid down again. “Whatta you got? asked Billy Bunny, hopping up. “Tobies!” said/ the Squirrel boys “Really ones?” “Goodness no! What do you think Grammy would say if she caught us smoking. We should say not!” “Let’s smoke ‘em anyway, just for fun,” said Billy. “These old things can’t hurt a flea. I’ve smoked corn silk lots of times.” “All right! Got any matches?” asked Scramble. “Nope but I'll Billy. Billy ran into his house and got the matches and come back. He should have asked his mother, but he didn't and that’s where the |trouble began, For little hoys have no business with matches and his mother would have said “no.” But she was out in the garden, so he reached up on the kitchen mantel and got a handful. When he got back there was a whole crowd there all waiting for matches to smoke their Indian to- bies. There were the three Wood- chuck boys and Cutie Cottontail and just about everybody. Well, the littfe rascals lighted their make-believe tobies and puffed at them, but they weren't so very good. After alittle while they threw them away (it had been raining, I'm glad to say, or they might have set the woods of fire), and went on playing with something else and for- got all about their tobies. But at supper time Mrs. Cracknuts began to .sniffle and sniffle like everything. S “Boys!” she said. severely. “Yes, Granny,” said ime get some,” said Brazil, it ap-|' THE BISMARCK Scramble, knowing that something was coming. “I smell smoke! Come here!” Both of them slid out of their chairs and marched right over. First she smelled Scamper’s hands, then Scramble’s (they hadn’t washed before supper, I’m ashamed to say) and then she smelled their breath. she cried, “I guess I've got a nose! Smoke is smoke and matches are matches! I smell both, and all the buts in the world cannot make me think any differently. Cigarets, I'll be bound— or a pipe! Really, I feel like faint- ing. To think that grandsons of mine would—” And she went on and went on ahd then ordered them to bed. They had no chance that day to tell her it was only play smoke. But things were going to be even worse. (To Be Continued) fe (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Ing.)

TRIBUNE LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW SUMMERS, CONTINUED Prescott received that Bee, from his mother-in- grouchy and nervous and in the office very little. At last I took matters into my own hands, and one evening before Mrs. Burke, whom you knew as Ruth Ellington. I simply made the assertion that. there was nothing that would keep him at home if he really wanted to go and see his wife. Mr. Prescott could have killed me with great glee, for he knew as I did Mrs. Burke would write that to Les- he. As there was no other way out of it, however, he d¢parted with iit- tle son and little son’s nurse yester- day. I don’t exactly know what is going to happen, Bee dear, for when John Alden Prescott has his pride touched and his ego pricked a little, he is very hard to manage. I'm alone in our department today, and if I may say so, I’m rather lone- ly. John Alden Prescott is a very interesting study. He gives the kick to my work which is more or less monotonous. Dear Bee, you're the very best wo- man I have ever known, and I sup- Pose it is because you are that kind of a woman, that I have always an uncontrollable inclination to tell you all my most iconoclastic and damna- bly mischievous thoughts. I sometimes wonder, dear, If men find us such a bundle of incongrui- ties and foolish little vanities that we find them. I presume they do, for all these little incongruities and vanities are very human. Of course, I know the only thing that makes us show the least bit of men. I don’t believe I've ever loved any one in the world, Bee, except yourself and Sam. Sam’s love was an ephemeral thing, glorious while divinity is love—love for our fellow | j, it lasted, but very short-lived. There was no friendship, no real liking, back of it, while our friendship will last forever, provided you can stand my little follies and great. foibles. Mr. and Mrs. Burke seem quite happy. I would think Mrs.. Burke could be happy with him. He is a great big magnetic man, who has al- ways had money, and seems always good natured. They tell me he has loved her for years, and wanted to marry her as soon as her husband ran away with that other woman. It seems she was afraid, and wouldn't divorce her first husband. fo} quite a while for fear she would be tempt- ed to marry Burke. Of course you know that Mr. Burke has always had a reputation for being more or less of a rounder, but I think he has reached the time of life when he wants to settle down. I know you will say that this speech is characteristic of me, and because it is I’m going to end this letter. Write me soon, for I miss you, now that you are farther away even than Minnesota.

By NEA Service New York, Sept. 19.—The major- ity of important men in New York are those who have slipped into the city, unnoticed, and who sneaked up on success when it wasn’t looking. One of the most successful maga- zine publishers in this mecca of pub- lications slept three nights on a park bench and was fed life sustain- ing meals by a sympathutic woman when he arrived in New York. When ready to walk back to his home in Boston, dejected by his fail- use to get on in the big town, he won $15 by his wits and began a career that has been unasual and profitable. He is James R. Quirk, editor and publisher of one of the most prom- inent photoplay magazines. With another newspaper reporter, a rich man’s son fn excellent finan- ‘cial standing, they had been refused jobs by every city editor in New York. Quirk bet “1-to-3” that he could see any editor in New York. At the time all New York was agog over the disappearance of an actor, facing a criminal charge. Quirk walked into a newspaper of- the fice, wrote a note that he was man’s lawyer and had the actor with him, ready to talk. Needless to say, came a rushing. Quirk won the bet the city editor and $15, It gave him a new on his youthful ambition to become a publisher. Bad luck had been following John Jacobson. When two gypsy women appeared at his home he permitted them to bless his life savings of $1,680. He would have been blessed out of his savings if two detectives had not arrived a moment later. Jacobson now thinks he is in good luck. The latest fling in Gotham is rasp- berry colored rouge. All the girls are using it. Andrew Stucke has always wanted to be a juggler. He practiced for five years with rubber balls, The other day he tried to juggle five bot- tles. One dropped, smashed and cut an artery in his leg. Now he juggles bandages and cotton in a hospital. —Stephen Hannagan. FABLES ON HEALTH: CARE OF THE FEET As most people know, but give little attention, the type of shoes worn and the fit of them are all im- portant factors in the comfort and health of the feet. Children between the ages of 9 and 14 should be watched closely and care taken in fitting them to shoes. This is the period of great- est growth and the question of foot expansion should not be forgotten. Around the age of 13 children— girls in particular—are likely to be- gin to get fussy, about styles in shoes, and from 14 to 21 is a period when this style. idea gets most firm- ly implanted. In old age @ good shoe fit is even more important. The foot having attained its complete maturity is very sensitive to changes in organic life and the freest foot action should be allowed. Shoe fitters and shoe salesmen should be acquainted with the struc- ture of the human foot and its va- rious peculiarities. Different ages require different shapes and different occupations change the shoe requirement. If the child arrives at maturity with sound feet the chance for com- fort in later years is good, provided good shoe judgment is used. than 800 voters are registered, due to the fact that it requirés almost two days continuous work—day and night—to complete the tallying of votes, ;, More Paving Added Petitions signed by far the greatest majority of property own- ers affected were presented to the city board last night calling for the paving of Seventh Ave. N.
