It is pending -it wisely—getting the greatest pos- le returns. By cutting out waste, there will be more money for those things which are need- ed and that avhich adds to brightness and joy of living. Music in the home puts sunshine in the heart. It makes little difference whether the home is on the isolated farm or in the congested city, whether it be a small cottage or a palatial resi- dence, music brings pleasure which can be se- cured in no other way. It educates the children and knits the family closer together. Save your nickels and dimes which are frit- tered away to satisfy passing whims and use them to make the monthly payments on a piano, a player-piano or a phonograph, and vou will be investing your money in something of real value. It will pay you big dividends in pleasure and happiness—not once a year, but every day. Piano and Music Merchants’ Association of Washington, D. C. 0. J. De Moll & Co. 12th and G Sts. N.W.

Evidence of the importance attached by the American Federation of Labor movements in the in- dustrial world, including the “open shop,” compulsory arbitration and indications of a return to lower wage schedules, is shown by a call issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation, for a virtual convention of labor's forces, equal in strength to t nnual gatherings of the organization, to meet in this city on February 23. That the present events foreshadow a crigis for labor is the view taken by observers both in the labor ficld and in the fleld of the employers. Only a few months ago President Gompers issued a declaration which said that organized lubor would fight to the utmost against a return to t war standards of living to present 1 notice of the conference comes from Secretary Morrison, who is holding down the executive while President Gompers is attending the Pan-American Federation of Labor convention in Mexico City. President Gompers issued the order, according to the statement, and Secretary Mor- rison is promulgating it. One of Similar Gatherings. In the formal statement issued yes- terday Secretary Morrison said that the forthcoming conference “is one of the several similar gatherings that have been called by the Americi Federation of Labor during {ts hi tory to consider unusual conditions. "I belleve labor will formulate a plan to expose the pretense of men who are only intereasted in cheap labor and ® continuance of their profiteering policy,” he sald. “The trade union movement is alert to the forces against it and proposes to act vigorously and courageously. Our op- ponents are mistaken if they imagine they have made the slightest progreas in alarming the workers, or that they will humbly accept & policy of re- action.” : —_— STAR OBSERVERS NUMBER 70. ‘The American Asgociation of Vari- able Star Obssrvers now has a mem.- bership ‘of meventy and dunn‘ the St year m ore thap 4,000 ob- ! o stars, During the |Yedrs lll-‘:t to 1910, inclusive, the total , L iber obscrvations emounted to XS CALTHE , Pupils of Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grades take this ballot to your teachers and follow instructions given TREE WORK EXHIBITION OPENS AT WILSON NORMAL. | Deutsch, On | S headed | N desk | fil ~" “THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY I%|A97T. : P S CIVIC BODIES PROTEST.
