ORGANIZED LABOR’S PROBLEMS of organized labor, perhaps smarting uncer criticism within their ranks of their so-called lethargy, hhaye lately begun to demonstrate an increasing interest al part in a ne in the sorer spots of the labor situation and in the newer | problems which begin to confront industrial workers as | class. Generally speaking, the country has been going through the existing period of comparative prosperity without any serious labor troubles. These have been good times for organized labor and not so good for unorganized labor, as usual. And although minorities have bitterly criticized the controlling officials of the Amcrican Fec- eration of Labor and other large organizations, it seems only fair to suggest that these men have been representa- tive of the conservatism and contentment of the dominant class of labor. Employers have also been more amiable in dealing with employes and less reluctant to share with them some portion of increased profits. But this is no millenium. Perhaps there is forever bound to be some conflict between capital and labor. Certainly this unprecedented “machine aze” of ours was} bound to develop certain new and serious social prob- lems. With recognition of these facts, it is a matter of | general interest to observe indications that organized | labor still knows how to battle for itself. Capital, con- | trolling wealth and political power, can take pretty good care of itself. But when anything goes wrong the work- | to rest, by civic boosters, Imagine, only seven!

In its application for a court order to compel sub. ission of the company’s reccrds the commission nted that the system of management contracts im- ‘d by the holding company upon the operating com- panies whose securities it owns lays a burden on the gross earnings of the subsidiarics, and that inspection of the records is essential to determine whether this burden— | which naturally affects the basis of rate-making—is just ‘and lawful. | The judge held, in effect, that the commission was on | a fishing expedition, and would have to demonstrate the | reasonableness of its demand by presentation of other evidence showing the pertinence of the documents re- quired.

N. Y., for a di- vorce. She said that none of the | women could leave her “regular movie ‘sheik” alone and that he was too weak to resist. How often do you hear @ woman married to a handsome man advise some other woman never to marry a | handsome man—if she wants to be ; happy. And yet, what virtue is there in being homely? Obviously what Mrs. Ascher resented about her hus- | band was not his handsome features, but what she termed his weakness. It is easier for a handsome man to attract woman than a homely one —though many of the world’s most famous heartbreakers have been pos- itively ugly—not necessarily because of his looks, but because his beautiful features enable him to get by with so many unplcasant traits of char- acter that would be quite obvious in a less personable man. From the woman's angle of hold- ing her man, there's undoubtedly much more generalship in keeping a man devoted who is cbviously attrac- tive in appearance than one that no- body notices, gg WOMEN DO SMOKE Recently I saw a young girl, with her bobbed hair outside of an up- stairs windaw, puffing away at a cigaret, being very careful to blow right inside the churches, are advo- ; the smoke outside.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, \Jim Icaned over and struck Ruth a ivicious blow and his square headed j{hammer.

Here was frank confession of a cruel impulse, cruelly carrted out. What to do with Jim was the ques- tion which agitated the minds of the | adults in charge. But the other chil- | dren disposed of the question. Loudly they clamored for avenging punish- ;ment. Wherever Jim showed his face ;he was met by their blunt repudiation jof his socicty and their frank indig- nation at what he had done. He did | not come in to dinner and went hun- gry to bed.

How many times one sees a woman, attractive-in every other way except that the calves, ankles or thighs are too heavy. When fat accumulates in some one portion of the body rather than being distributed evenly over its entire surface, it is an indication that {the circulation is defective through | the fatty area. In these days when walking is not very fashionable, and we find so many who indulge in overeating and over-drinking, it isa real problem | with many women to avoid over-large |limbs. The fat has a tendency to | seek out the legs as a resting place, where it is perfectly revealed through sheer silk hose. There is no substitute for exercise to keep the legs shapely. Walking, swimming and dancing are all bene- ficial and safe exercises for keeping the lower legs in symmetrical - tions. Daily walking, if in, will bring about a most satisfactory change in the contour of the lower limbs. If hikes were more fashion- able, they would add a great deal to leg beauty of America. Dancing, whether of the ballroom type, the aesthetic, or the acrobatic, will not only be found enjoyable but will have a beneficial effect upon the leg mus- cles, since the kicking movement used from the various strokes employs all of the leg muscles and tends to nor- malize the outline. It also has the re- without any bulging of line. When the leg muscles have not been used for a long time they lose their tone and will seem stiff and unwill- ing to work when you first begin flex- ing them, but once you have them through the preliminary training, their strength will be increased, and duige in starchy foods, and employ enough of tion: Mrs. J. asks: “What is sult of making long smooth muscles | li you will find it a positive joy to in-| conta dulge in any form of swift, light movement, such as dancing, playing tennis or handball. ‘Where the legs have really become clogged with fat, it is sometimes ad- visable to use other adjuncts to the exercise to increase the circulation. Among the simpler methods which can be employed are alternate hot and cold applications, massage and brators. ren I never advise operating upon fatty tissue for its removal unless it is in the form of unsightly circumscribed fatty tumors. One should also be very careful to use a well balanced {diet to keep the blood in a good con- dition so that it will dissolve and {carry away the fatty deposits.
