Samuel Gompers doesi't create a fa- vorable impression when he rants at a fecision of the Uhited States supremmo court, which by the way {s & unanimons decision of the justices. His outbitrst s #0 far from convinclng that It does no credit to such a leader, when he de- clares that the decision puts an end to labor unions. Under such a contention he virtually maintains that they have been able to exist up to this time be- cause of the special privileges that hace been accorded them, &nd which have now been taken away. It has been repeatedly maintained hat labor unions have a right to organ- o and carry out the purposes of such anizations. They have a place and are without doubt benefielal wheh prop- erly eonducted, It is not to be etpected that such an organization should be privileged to resort to violeniee in con- mmst to other @rganizations and escape Eponeibiiity.

Crime waves, or what have been termed crime waves, have prévalled in most of the largs cities. Among those which have suffered from such an ab- normal condition has bééen Detroit and 48 might be expected it is mot. disap- pointed that there dre signs of abate- ment. 7 Detroit, like other citles has been making a study of the situation and it is declared by its policé commissioner that while it hdsn't all disappeared it has been reduced to 4 ripple, or a con- trast to formar conditions which may well cause & feeling of much satistac- tion. The polles commissioner recognizes the fact that help in the reduction of the crime wave has been obtained to a considerable degree from the ending of the spending orgy and the regaining by Americans generally of thelr common sense, 4 condition résulting, it womid appear, from the lack of that which has so much to do in furnishing the inspira- tlon for crime. But the commissioner is not pnmindful of the good effect of corrective Influences for he numbers among the things leading up to present results “ihe imposition of hedvy sen- tences upon convicted persons.” This is one more instance where the need of abandoning leniency and letting it be understood that lawlessness could be expected to be followed by punish- ment was necessary, and that when it was well impressed by example upon those criminally inclined there could not fail to be a deterrent effect. The con- clusion reached by the Detrolt poltce commissioner Is In keeping with that In certain stdtes where a stiffening of U penalties has been obtained by legisla- tive action and by the American Bar as- soication committee in urging similar measures for the preventlon of crime. Common sense will be more easily ac- quired under siich conditions than where lenlenicy is the guiding influence. WITHIN THE LAW. For a number of weeks the country has been getting information in regard to probable mergers of steel companies, Such combinations of independent steel plants have been the subject of inquiry by the Lockwood committee in New York, and serving as the prober has been the inimitable Samuel Untermyer who has served the committes with ex- cellent restilts diring its long labors. He has succeeded in breaking up harmful combinations and it was appreciated that if there fas anything illegal about the proposed mergers he would bring it to light and do his utmost to block ac- tion, More than the usual amount of Inter- est is therefore displaved in the opin- ion he gives regarding the combinations, when he states that they &ré wholly within Jhe law. That means that they cannot be regarded as ynlawful comb:i- nations, but if they could there is mone more likely than Mr. Untermyer to dls- cover it There is no reason for tha declsion to cause surprise. The combining of the smaller steel companies in either of the two' mergers does not produce a com- pany as largo as the United States Steel company, and that big concern does mot control half of the steel output of the country, and even though it cam pro- duce cheaper steel than the others it has not driven them out of business. It is a combination that is not restraining trade according to the supremé court decision, and it is quite plain that if it 1s unable to do S0 that the two smaller combinations would offer no menace that direction. The fact that Mr. Untermyer, after his searching inquiry, has given them a clean bill of health will have its ad- vantages, 1 EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The man on the cornéer says: Somea people dre satisfied to dispénse the skim milk of human kindness, Remember the city meeting dnd the responsibilities that rest upon the clti- zens in connection therewith tomight.

Hang them on the clothes-line, and beat with a proper carpet-beater. ‘Wash plate in hot soapy water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added; dry and polish with a chamois leather. TEST CANNED GOODS. A prominent physician gives these rules for testing canned,goods. If a housekeeper follows them she will not be so liable to use food that has de- composed in the slightest degree. Every cap should be examined, and if two holes be found in it send the can to the health board, with its con- tents and the names of the grocer who sold it. Reject every article of canned food that does not show the line of resin around the edge of the solder of the cap, the same as that seen on the Seam at the side of the can. Press up the bottom of the can. If decom- position is commencing the tin will rattle the same as the bottom of the oiler of a sewing machine; if the goods be sound it will be solid and there will be no rattie to the tin. Re- ject every can that shows any rust around the cap in the inside of the head of the can. FIRST AID IN THE KITCHEN. Burns and scalds in the Kkitchen are very frequent mishaps, and house- wives haye grown to consider such occurrences inevitable. They are sometimes, however, very serious, and in every kitchen there should be a tiny cupboard containing the follow- ing necessities in case of accident :— A bottle of carron or olive oil, a roll of bandages, adhesive tape, and a small bottle of sal volatile. For burns or scalds, pour some oil over the damaged portion and cover with the bandage. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. When lying long awake in the mid- dle of the njight turn up tire light, and read a few pages of some not very exciting book. Dirt will cling to the finger nails in hot weather far more easily than in cold. Therefore, they should be thor- oughly cleansed and polished every day. When using a buffer first treat each finger separately and then go over them all, never buffing so hard that the finger nails are allowed to become heated. When that happens the nails themselves afterward be- come brittle and will crack. If you are hahitually a long time in going to sleep, try drinking slowly a glass of warm milk and eating a few biscuits before retiring for the night. The cause may be the lapse of time between bedtime and your list meal. A glass of water and a tin of biscuits should always be kept at the bedside. If_you have been dancing or in- dulging in any vigorous exercise you should use soap with the bath that follows unless you have a very fine needle spray in your bathroom. The skin has been made so active by the exercise that it needs something extra vigorous in the way of a bath. One woman has made an excellent bath soap by boiling a package of oatmeal into a thHick gruel and into this melting a five pound bar of cas- tile soap. She poured this off into narrow tin pan8 and when it dried and hardened she had an exceedingly fine toilet and bath spap which was softening and beautifying to the skin, THE HAIR IN SUMMER TIME. Many ‘women who complain that theit hair falls out in the aiitumn never realize that this is mainly due to neglecting it during the sumimer months. The chief reason for such loss of hair is bathing; for the daily wetting of the hair in the sea will, unless proper precautions are taken, dry up the natural oil of the scalp, and so impoverish it that the hair loses its natural gloss and brightness and begins to fall out. To prevent this the batker shotuld massage her head every morning with a little good hair oil, applied on the tips of the fingers. DUSTING FURNITURE The greatest care should be ex- ercised in dusting furniturs which has real value. Many 'people make the mistake of putting too much oil on the cloth which they use to wipe the finely finished wood. The cloth should be slightly dampeneéd with good furniture oil, but none should be put on the furniture itself. Wipe the fur- niture with a soft cloth daily and never use water on the furniture or dampen the dust cloth with water. SANITATION. The garbage pail or barrel shoiid be washdd once a week. On wash day when there is plenty of hot suds, is a good time for this. Scrub the pail with the suds, using an old broom for the purpose. Now rinse with clean hot water, to which has heen aaded| a cupful of dissolved soda. Drain and dry in the sun. Be sure to wash the cover. ] GAUDY HOSIERY. Hosiery has become undeniably gaudy. Black stockings are plaided in yellow and red. There are red and white horizontal stripes such as little girls wore many decades ago. Fine black lace hose has threadings of sil- ver and gold in elaborate flower de- signs, And other hose for both street and beach has two vivid stripes in contrasting colors up and down the middle of the front: DICTATES OF FASHION, There is a_gaining preferénce for the higher waistline.

SILK FOR BLOUSES. The blouse trade is beginning to find an interest in georgette crepe. Samples are being made in white and bisque, and a few in flesh. White sells the best. A fairly good quality is wanted; not the best, and not the cheapest. quantity factor. Printed crepe de chine does not seem to be as import- ant as it was early in the season, but in the novelty fiéld the printed pat- tern blouse has taken hold. This type of blouse hds been featured by several local stores recently, and re- ceivés prominence by showings of blouses or draped lengths in the silk departments. SKIRTS OF SILK. Silk skirts will be popular this sum- mer, it is predicted by most popular priced and medium priced firms. Soft plaited models are in the ascendancy, with extreme novelty of weave as the only excuse for the pldin garment. As a result Canton and other crepe materials that lend themselves to plaiting are the weaves chosen. There are many variations of the crepe theme, including Follo Thru, which is seen a_ great deal. “Pastel shades of Thisidu are also leading items. Moon Glo crepe, Ruff Yen crepe, Fan-ta-si, and silks like Throo Bred with chenille markings in blocks and stripes all have their share of popularity. Another favorite of the season is Vel Ette in white or in the high shades. CLEANING HINTS Clean cream line blinds by placing them on a table and scrubbing them with 'a clean, dry nail brush dipped in powdered bath brick. Afterwards dust over with a clean duster. Wipe furniture with a leather wung out of cold water, to which a little vinegar has been added before using furniture polish; it will then shine readily. Rub mirrors well with newspaper moistened with methylated spirit, and polish with a clean dry duster. Don’t wash or serub the matting with' soapy water, It will injure it, Go over it with a broom that has been dampened in hot water and then go over it with a cloth that -has been dipped in salt water. Silt freshens the color and prevents it from becom- ing yellow. Hote soap suds are the best medium for cleaning genuine bronze. Sweet oil, applied with a brush, is also cleansing. The oil should be removed with a soft cloth. Clean tea and coffee pots by put- ting into them a teaspoon of soda. Then half fill the pot with cold water, heat and let boil for five minutes. Empty and boil fresh water in them., sugar. SUN-AIRED BEDDING. Sun-aired bedding is the latest cure heavily browned. RECIPES.
