JOHN TAYLOR ALTON, Cleveland (Methodist). V ONE is in a position to doubt that the industrial condition far as the worker is concerned, are much improved over at generation ago, hut there is a long way to go before ideal conditions are reached. For instance, child labor laws are being passed throughout tlie country, hut there are still thousands of children between nine and fifteen years of age at work and as fast as laws are passed and enforced in this country those industries where child labor can be used are going to the Orient and foday thousands of oriental children between the ages of five and fifteen years are working for the pitiful wage of from 15 cents to $1.50 a week. This is being done by American capital from Christian America. I know there is a change in policy in industry which proceeds on the very sound and logical reasoning that it is good business to pay good wages, for if a man has money he will buy more goods, and the more he buys the greaier the demand, and the greater the demand the greater the profit to the manufacturer. But there are still many industrial concerns that have not caught that vision. One man in this country confesses to an income of over a million dollars annually and pays the girls in his factory from $8 to $15 a week. I am far from being a Socialist, but I am convinced that the unjust accumulation and inequitable distribution of N so gigantic surplus profits is deplorable. No industry should be allowed to operate in such a manner that it can ruthlessly and without warning dump an army of unemployed out on the street. If there is a slack in sales let the work that remains be divided among the workmen.

It was found so awkward to have two such days. Public offices in Turkey closed on Friday ; banks and most places of business closed on Sunday. So it was sensibly decreed tliat the example of the rest of Europe should be followed, even though it was Christian. True dyes are easiest to use!

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll not, neither do they spin : "And yet I say uuto you, that even Solomon In all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. And It Is these flowers which, more than anything else, have become the symbols of Easter which we celebrate this year on April 20. As such a symbol the lily has a double significance. It Is one of the earliest spring flowers. It typifies the rebirth of nature after the long winter sleep. In Its dry, brown bulb life lies dormant during the winter and then when spring comes, this life begins to stir. First It pushes out the tender green leuves, and then the buds appear. Finally the white blossom comes forth In all Its glory as the perfect emblem of resurrected life. Its other significance Is a religious one, Its snow-whitpurity being emblematic of the flawless life of Christ whose resurrection from the tomb we commemorate on Easter day. In fact, no other flower has a place In the religious life and literature of the Christian world to coinpure to the Illy. Yet its giory Is not so new as Christianity, ancient though the beginnings of that Buying space in a newspaper is not advertising any more than buying a farm is farming. Crops are reaped only when ground is plowed, planted and cultivated. White space becomes advertising only when it is intensively cultivated. Art in anything is nothing more than harmony of function plus harmony of taste. We must come to realize that art, in its broadest sense, must be the motivating and vitalizing force behind advertising. Of what value are ideas unless they can be adequately communicated to others? Isnt that essentially the big job of advertising? That part of art in copy is making copy talk the readers language. The part of the art is to get Mrs. Header into the picture. And the language of the reader is not that of the stockroom or the buyer. This thing we call art has come to be a fundamental of business. The modern retail store is the publics treasure house, the place where it goes to find things which will contribute to its desire to lead gracious, lives. The public has come to respect esthetic values alert, in goods as well as service, quality and price. well-inform- An Easter Flower To make one petal, myriad. of atom (each In tteelf a pliuietury nyotem of electron) inuat cllnili anil wheel to their In the dcin."

Although this trumpet-lik- e blossom Is the best known of all the members of the Illy family, there are others which are very Interesting even though they do not have such significance for us as the madonna lily. In the high Himalayas In Asia grows a great lily ten feet tall. Agents of the United States government found a magnificent specimen of lily In China a generation ago a Illy of the madonna type, but hardier and brought It to America and they have been offering It to citizens to plant from coast to coast. Most of the lilies that are native to America are radiant with color. There Is the turk's cap, for Instance, that flaunts the deep yellow of Its many blooms through the waste stretches of parts of New England. Great, stalwart stalks, sometimes nine feet tall, has the turks crp. It may have half a dozen orange blooms nt Its top, but those who have tamed this plant and given It care have induced It to provide as many as 40 blossoms. A quite different American flower Is the little trout lily which llkps to grow along the streams or In the deep woods. With the nourishment It lias saved np In Its bulb It starts growing In the early spring and Is likely to have bloomed before the leaves of the trees have grown to the stage of making shade to Interfere with it. A radiant yellow, the trout illy stands out vividly against its background of green. The blue flag running to purple Is another American lily that hns found itself a home In many gardens. The mottled tiger Illy hns been a favorite for ninny generations. In California the "leopard lily lights the heather dun," and the bite shorn meadow Is often red with their biootn. The red lilies of New England, however, outshine them all and have inspired many a poet of that region. Lucy Larcom spoke of them as red lilies blazing nut of the thicket." Fatil IlamlUuu Hayne thought that the red Illy "stands from all her sister flowers apart."

The Light you seek la risen ? Alfred Noyes In ths Washington Star. rrobnbly the most remarkable Illy the world Is the yucca, or Spanish bayonet, of the arid plains of the Southwest. There the lily becomes a plant that is quite treelike and lives fo years. The lily leaves become harsh, dagger-tippeImplements to serve the purpose of repelling attack. These may sit close to ttie ground or, again, they may stand as high as a man on horseback. From tlie cluster of leaf armor there springs now and again a tall stalk that may reach like a flagpole Into the desert sunshine. At the top of this staff there forms and finally breaks into bloom such an assem, blage of pure white, and In every way perfect lilies ns nature produces nowhere else In a single cluster. It Is given to the desert to grow the greatest of all the plants despite the fact that the chief habitat of the breed seems to he the marsh. I.ilies nil grow from bulbs. This bulb making capnelty of the lily fatally Is one of Its dominant traits. It and the six petals to all lily blooms are marks of the tribe. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, nil are actually, because they spring from bulbs, members of the lily family. Hut beautiful ns are those members of tlie lily family, there are others wl'.'ch are utilitarian rather than pureand which, although ly .rnamental like the "Ulies of the field which toil not, do fumlsh mankind with edible crops. Surprising though It may he. botanists will tell you that some of Id d bell-like- richly-perfume- our common vegetables are in reality "lilies. There Is asparagus, for Instance, that Is bought In the market tied up In bundles of many stalks, each exactly like the other. There Is nothing about this asparagus In this form that would indicate that It Is a lily. Aspuragus tips are but young plants just coming through the ground. If they were allowed to grow they would throw out tall, stalks flowand crown them with ers that any observer would be able to Identify as lilies. The presence of this commonplace asparagus In an idling family Is rather a let down to its pretensions. This, however, is not the worst. If the truth must be told, the onion Is a Illy. The oidon Is a lily that has been bred through centuries for the development of its bulb and the suppression of Its top. So It has come about that the bulb may be three Inches across and the top so Insignificant that, when It has dried up, It hardly appears at all. Yet when this top Is growing and flowering It Is like those delicate plants of the window sills which sometimes are called tube roses, but which actually are a delicate, refined and fragrant lily that comes out of the Orient. Onions came from the Near East and In ancient days furnished a staple food for the rural inhabitants of Greece and Italy. Not only was garlic a food, but it was reputed to have medicinal value and to be helpful to tlie stomach In Its functions. Those two bulb vegetables, the of the plant food world, ride about the earth In trainloads and shiploads. The material service they render Is greater than that of all the other lilies put together. One would have to look far In all the relationships of nnture to find a contrast more striking than thnt of tlie Easter lily and the garlic of the Mediterranean. Even though the lily is the one perfect symbol of Easter, there nre two others which through the centuries have become so closely associated with this day In our calendars that we think of them almost us quickly, lu thinking of Easter, as we do of the lily. They are the rabbit lily-lik- SOVIET INJUSTICE TO WORKER By WHITING WILLIAMS, Industrial Consultant, Cleveland. The Communistic idea that every job should be under government control is absolutely wrong. If a man loses a job in Russia he fiuds it almost impossible to find work because his record follows him from town to town and, unless he is recommended by the group in the city where he originally had employment his chances are slim. Besides being out of work, he finds he cannot leave the country and so poverty and privation are the result. The Fascist! philosophy is that it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a lamb. If the bulk of the workmen in Italy went unemployed for six weeks it would mean an internal revolution or an external war. This country has not made the progress it should in solving unemployment problems but compared with the rest of the world our progress has been colossal. I would remind employers that reduction of wages mean a decrease in buying power. e d DUTY DEVOLVING ON ELDERS By MUNICIPAL JUDGE J. EARL COX, Akron, Ohio. If the young folk of today are worse than the young people of any previous generation, as some misanthropes assert, that is the worst indictment the present generation of older people has to face. If there are evils in our social system, if we have crime waves, if the government is not what it should be, if industry misbehaves those problems should be met by the rising generation. There is ho panacea we can prescribe. There is but one thing the oldsters of today can give the youngsters and that is vision, ideal, principle. The ideals of the founders of America were humanistic. It is up to us, who have inherited the land, tc reconsecrate ourselves to those high principles. On account of my close association with social problems on the civil and criminal benches of municipal court, I have made an intensive study recently of modern social problems. We are not quite 60 bad as we often paint ourselves, is one of the conclusions I have reached. red-lette- r DiamondoDbrzs Highest Qualify For SO Years Office Equipment lieggar Can you spare me a pair or very old shoes?

Kidney Disorders Are Too Serious to Ignore. j j j j ' One of the most amazing things to me is that the American school should have gotten so far as it has from the American home. Ilome con-- j ditions often make it practically impossible for the school and the courts to give the child a square deal. So in studying the school we must hie back into the home. The real thing we are working for is the child the hild as a unit, the child as an excellent, happy human being. The effectiveness of this great machinery of the White House cop-- ! fcronce on child health and protection depends upon its interpretation in terms which the masses and millions of people can understand. We need ;n America an entirely new sense of what social statistics mean. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to know how many human breakdowns grew out of home factors, the lack of fresh air, sunshine, plav spaces, etc.: how much of the success and failure in life can be traced back to children!
