Be The proposal, as set forth in The Evening World to-day, is, in ae brief, that the high councils of the New York State Federation of i jor shail use their utmost influence to induce organized labor in Ee this to agree to a suspension of all strikes for a period of six months‘ in order that efforts to reduce the cost of living may have every help toward success. Employers of labor, needless to say, would be expected to pledge themselves to take no unfair sdvaniage of such a situation. On the other. hand, the encouragement to capital to put aside its fears, come forward and provide more jobs for labor, is obvious. In the building trades, for example, where contractors have been hanging back ' because of the uncertainty of labor's demands, ‘the effect would be “most stimulating. If it ras a patriotic duty of organized labor to seek to suspend strikes ‘while the country was concentrating on the mighty business of wat, why should it be any less a patriotic duty for organized labor to adopt the same policy of restraint while the country is struggling to remove the dangerous consequences of inflation, lower prices and start industry on the sound, straight road to lasting prosperity? .. Are other organized workers who have profited by war beginning to catch the spirit of the Hoboken painters and the Midvale Steel employees who voted last week not to strike for higher wages because “striking for higher wages is not the way to help reduce the’ cost of living”? To believe this spirit is epreading has become the earnest wish of all Americans who support the President in his campaign’ to bring : The present ‘leaders of organized labor in New York should be quick to grasp the opportunity for putting this State in the lead of “such a movement. To this end it is fortunate that no more radical _ head 'was permitted to displace James P. Holland as President of the'Ney York State Federation of Labor. ‘ ‘the radical labor elements in this and other parts of the country will give little welcome to such a plan in their Labor Day eine may be assumed. In many directions labor has found its temptations fod great, and the visions of a turgid and tumultuous futaze too alluring. ‘To all organized workers in the United States who are exposed to such bedevilments, we wish there might be brought this Labor the words of a great American, the simplicity and soundness of y wisdom carries straight down to the present. He. was no capitalist or friend of capitalists. When he was a candidate for the Legislature he said: “I was born and have ever remained in the most humble a walks of life. Thave lo wealthy popular relations or friends to )recommend me.” And later, only a year before he was President’ of the Uniled is me! ¥, bane, “I am not ashamed to confess that twenty-five years ago ; _T was ® hired Isborer mauling rails at work on « flatboat— als what might happen to any poor man's son.” ¥Labor,” said Abraham Lincoln, “is prior to and independent of capital: Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have _ existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration.” But he also said: “Capital has its rights which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is and prob- ably always will be a relation between labor and capital Producing mutual benefits.” And to a committee of New York workingmen who called him March 24, 1864: a ra “The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the . family relation, should be the one uniting all working people of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds, Nor should this lead to a war upon property, or the owners of property. Prop erty is the fruit of labor; property ts desirable; is a positive good in the world, That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is Just encouragement to Industry and enterprise, “Let not him who is houseleds pull down the house of , another, but let him work diligently and build one for him- teat, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe trom violence when built.” If Lincoln were alive to-day he would rejoice with organized ‘Igbor over that which it has rightfully won. He would sympathize its just aspirations, But his clear eye would at once discern condemn those instincts of labor which have become in plain “tenth predatory, however much disguised by fine talk. Assuredly Lincoln would be the first to praise any body of organ- iaed workers who put the need of their country in a precarious period upon eee eee Newest Notes of Science LEA iT s \\ Gy TReay M<CumBeR WICKERSHAM ' EDITORIAL PAGE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1919 Daily mt VE an Ty D TANDS Tarr The Jarr Family By Roy’ L.

But he'll be back in a moment. J remember now, he said he had to go out td see about some custom house invoices, Come in and sit down, Mrs. Jarr, It is @ pleasure to have a lady come to see us!” “Oh, I'm sure it must be a great bother, and I won't wait a minute, I knoW Il be in the way," aid Mrs, Jarr most amiably, “Not at all, The pleasure ts ours!" sald the affable Jenkins, “Now, don't let me interrupt you. Go on with your work,” said Mrs, Jarr, “How do you do, Mrs, Jarr?” ex- claimed Johnson, the cashier, coming in at this juncture, Come down to keep your eye on that gay fellow, Jarr?” continued the cashier, who was one of those waggish birds, too. “Yes, you all need to be watched,” said Mrs, Jarr, playfully, The cashier paled a little at this, for he had had a couple of tips go wrong at Saratoga and he was about $44 shy, and was hoping the old man wouldn't look over his cash till he could, make it up Saturday, “Hem!" said the cashier awkward- ly, “yes, Jarr’s gone out to lunch, 1 suppose he didn't know you would honor us with a visit, He always goes out sharp at 12 for his lunch, you know,” “Where's Mr, Jarr?” asked the | shipping clerk, coming in, “He told me he'd be back and have them in- voices ready, I wisht I had a soft snap like he hag, o's to hold up the magnet; By raising eight and a haif feet the its Bees Perens 1 seven-pound —electro- — Met fifteen times its own |dam which impounds water for Bom- | work of every guy on the job!" con- got the wink from both the cashier and the bookkeeper, and, being aware @ lady was present, surmised she was Mrs. Jarr. “Ot course,” went on the shipping clerk in an awkward endeavor to re- pair the damage, “of course, an im- portant man like Mr, Jarr has so many things on his mind and has to be called out to tend to all the big contracts for the firm at all hours— of course he can't be expected”—— Here the shipping clerk's inventive faculties broke down under the unex- pected strain, and he backed out mumbling, “Oh, Mr. Jarr’ll be here in a minute, Mrs, Jarr,” said a sale’ , had just come in and imm began to rush in where angels fear to tread. “He was called over to the warehouse at 10 o'clock, and said he'd only be gone an hour!” Just then Mr. Jarr strolled tn hum- ming “That's How the Strikes Stiike Me!" and then, seeing his wife, ex- claimed, “Why, hello, dear! I suppose they told you I had to go to the bank for the boss?” “I didn’t quite understand you,” said the bookkeeper weakly, “I thought you had gone out to see about custom invoices.” “How stupid of me!" said the cash- ler, “Here I've been telling Mrs, Jarr you had gone out to lunch!" “Oh, well, it doesn't matter,” said Mre, Jarr, feigning cordiality, “Here he is now. I suppose you men are so busy that you get confused.” “Oh, you're right there,” said the cashi¢r, ‘We're worked nearly vo death, And, by George, I forgot some- thing!" So saying he shut his desk and the safe and bolted out to the shipping department, woke up the shipping clerk, and behind a pile of packing cases, the two figured over racing charts for half an hour, while thoy congratulated each other that their wives didn’t call at the office much and catch them out matching for the cigars or something. Just then the telephone bell rang. “1'll see if he's here," said the office boy. Then he put his hand over the mouthpiece and said to Mr, Jarr, tinued the shipping clerk in a grieved jtone, "He eure has got the bows ‘Party named Hickett wants you.” ‘Sell bim i've gone to ‘oronto,"* {| Gommedi" 24 st. ne, peur diet peters.

If the temperature were intelligently taken day by day quite a degree of sickness would be found to exist. I have seen this over and over again. One particularly grave cage of scar- let fever was that of a young girl of fourteen. She walked into the clinic with a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not an unusual thing for typhoid patients to walk about attending school or business with a fever of 102 degrees Fahren- heit and 103 degrees Fahrenheit, until weakness forces them to give up. Cases are also on record of sudden collapse from perforation of the in- testine or internal hemorrhage.

Non-medical people are not awful bore,” said Mr. Jarr in answer to Mrs, Jarr’s interrogating gaze, After some effusive goodbys and placid jokes were exchanged, Mr, Jarr walked out with his wife, “Don't you ever ask me to believe a word you ever say after this!" said she, “and don't you call on those grin- ning, deceitful men in your office to help you prove it, either!

West, M. D. Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Bvening World). Careful Nursing an Important Factor but with intelligent care, many grave attacks of illness can be averted and many onslaughts of disease be com- bated, So with little children. In the case of fevers, nothing is 80 important as careful nursing. Fever— that is, an elevation of temperature— is not a disease, but merely a symp- tom of some disease, usually of in- fectious origin (meaning that it is caused by a particular germ or mi- crabp). There are conditions in children of continued fever in which there appears no infection and to which little heed is usually given, because the child may not be notice- ably sick, It may be up and about and complain of not feeling well, ana may have a feverish look (bright eyes, furred tongue, flushed face, &c.). In all such cases the same care should be exercised &s in those more marked conditions which usher in the pronounced diseases, The child should be given a warm bath, put into clean clothing and |placed in a@ clean, well-ventilated froom by stself. A mild laxative, such as calomel and soda or milk of mag- nesia should be given. This should always be the first thing done in any case, Cooling drinks of lemonade or ten to thirty drops of sweet spirit of nitre in cold water will allay the thirst. Sponging the body with cold water will lower the fever and induce sleep. In sponging the body it is best to place a blanket under the child and to use water at the ordinary spigot temperature first, Begin by sponging the face and neck, then lay a cloth dipped in cold water over the brow, Keep the body covered while spong- ing ono part, say the arm: cover it while doing the other, This simple but careful nursing will perhaps be all that is necessary to restore the child to its usual health, The temperature should be taken morning and evening with a clinical thermometer, and the child kept iso- lated as long as it remains above normal, which {8 98.6 Fahrenheit, Do not forget that the patient and his surroundings must be kept scrupa- lously clean, the temperature of the room kept down to 70 degrees and the air frequently changed. To busy mothers these precautions may appear needless in a child who is only “a: little feverish” and “out Alas, where Widowers are so much more easily ensnared into matrimony than bachelors, for the simple reason that walker that'has once lost his balance, is never again quite sure of himself, When a bachelor sighs that no means that he defies any woman to If a husband would spend just one-quarter of the time in doing those Uttle odd jobs around the house that he wastes in inventing excuses tor getting out of them, he would save SUCH a lot of energy.

Hang off that stuff while you're in one piece.’ ‘It seems to me,” said Miss Tillie, the Blond Stenographer, “that Miss Primm is using some rather careless terms lately. Imagine her calling the country ‘nutty.’ ” “Why shouldn't I?" demanded the Private Secretary. “Evidently you're not familiar with Noah Webster,” said Miss Tillie. “And that ain't all,” came from Bobbie, “She'll never get familiar with any man.” “What is that—a joke or a snapped Miss Primm. lam if I know.” “Aw, forget that snappy quips stuff, will you, kid?” Popple said. “Have you got an idea you're a hu- morst?” “Well, if the humorists ever strike I'll walk out with ‘em,” said Bobbie. “Don't wait for the strike,” came from Miss Primm, “Why not walk out now? This place would be heaven without you.” “Yes,” said Popple, “and with him it’ “Wait a minute!” said Spooner, the mild little Bookkeeper. “I can't see why we should quarrel 90 much.
