WORKING WITH THE TOOLS OF CAPITAL Ever the Stone, of the Brotherhood of Loco- gulded his or- ganization into the realm of bank- ing, labor organizations have followed his example. The first labor bank, established in Cleve- land, where it i3 ensconced in a sky- ecraper, speedily passed outside of the realm of experimentation. It can be sald to have been a success from the start. Radicals in some labor unions denounced slon of capitalism.” since later motive Engineers, varions it as a ‘“conces- or as laborers ‘“turning into capitalists;” and of course, they were right. But there is ne why labor unions which recognize the capitalistic sys- tem and in practice work hand in glove with it, gaining their susten- ance from the fruits of capitalistic season enterprise, should not also be capl- talists. Tt s given to any laboring man to own in and increasing numbers have been doing so. Tt stock enterprises, of is no whit stock a bank in the concern with which one is employed, or in other concerns. them difference to own in than to own stock Hence the decision of the Connec- Federation of at its New Britain convention, to estabiish a labor bank in this state was not ticut Labor, surprising.

There was also a legitimate ob. jection to having ‘“stage ringers" enter the contest upon the score that the chiet object was to exploit the victory on the stage — In case of vietory., A beauty contest should not be a method of setting the stage for a stage enterprise, so to speak, Broadway and Hellywood beauties should be forced to remain on Broadway or In Hollywood, and not disport themselves in a contest on the sands with amateurs, On the other hand, the sald Broadway and Hollywood beauties might not look so wonderful on the boardwalk. The stage lights lend a happy glow to the scenes upon the stage, and there have heen cases where a dame of 45 looked at least like sweet 25. The glare of the sun, helped by the reflection of the pure sands, might make a difference in even a professional beauty. To connolsseurs of such things— and most of us think we can qual- ity as such — a professional beauty has no remarkable points of superi- ority over the amateur beauties we have with us every day. THE PLIGHT OF TUBERS IN NEW ENGLAND To the amateur potato growers who flourished hereabouts during the war, the job seemed easy — at the start. All it required was to plant the seeds and let nature do the rest. But they discovered in a short while that raising potatoes was more llke work than almost anything they could do, and be- tween the ravages of “potato bugs” and the “blight” it was anything but idea! outdoor sport. The elder- ly gentlemen who didn't go to war, but who wore their arms out jerk- ing at the spraying apparat, and the women and children who helped doing the same, can testify that ralsing potatoes was a terrible or- deal in patience and effort. It was not surprising, that as soon as the war stopped the ama- teur potato raisers also stopped. Now comes the interesting intel- ligence that the potato crop in New England is on the down grade, and that this year 18 not toes as Maine used But New England region therefore, entire tier of states this raising as many to raise alone. is not the only failing to produce its quota of tubers, ing stantial as the other tuber-grow- report a sub- the potatoes regions likewise falling off From the looks of things, are going to cost more.

What are | dog da When are “dog days"? These three questions have been pumped at us recently and we gen- eralized on our answers. To the first we replied: * ‘Dog days’ occur when the dog star Sirius is in the ascendancy. Sirins, you know, 1s a star and when it is in the ascendancy, well, then we have ‘dog day Pressed for fur- ther information and being in fear of becoming lost in a morass of astronomical ignorance, we ex- cused ourselves on the plea that our dinner was waiting. After dispatching a hasty meal, our hunger for exact information being greater than our craving for food, we rushed to our encyclopedia, knocking over three chairs and a fern in our haste, and consuited “The World Wor Thumbing the pages swiftly, we came f{o the heading “Dog Days” and learned: “Dog Days, a period of summer usually charcterized by be- ing the hottest days of the year. The name was first applied by the an- cients to the time of the rising of the dog star Sirius; it covered a period of about forty days in the hottests scason of fhe year. That star now rises at a different time but the hot sultry summer days are still called dog days. As dogs usually suf- fer in hot weather and sometimes go mad and cause injury by the bites they inflict, in large cities laws re- quire that they be muzzied. 8o, from that fact it has often been in- corroctly believed the term originat- 1. Tt is interesting to note that dogs contract the disease which makes them ‘mad’ more frequently in cold than in hot weather.” So that was that.
