R. ; ; if t The American home is going into the discard and , it requires an act of faith to believe that it will survive the automobile and the movies, the thirst for the pleas-- ure and diversion of the moment. The creation of real American 'homes is woman's sphere, but tit need not be confined 4o the four walls of the house. " It should reach out to better schools, purer movies, cleaner . drama, modest dress, better discipline fof the child at home and in school. An undisciplined child is good material for futiire upheavals and revolutions. It is said that the Wrals of the rising generation are as loose as its galoshes. But I hav faitn in the young people of today, faith that they will make good and settle Vorn when the world rocks a little less uneasily in the whirlpools left by;the war. " 4' J . ' ; The world grow better, not worse,. with every' succeeding generation. ; There is too much pessimism.. Weak lamentations, will not help matters any. Acid criticism only rebounds against itself. Be constructive. J'Keep the home fires burning,' the family lamp alight. . Its quiet radiance is needed in this jazz-wea- ry world. The qualities which have mad America what it is were born in the home, and must remain there if democracy is to endure. Thrift, industry, honesty, kindness, truthfulness, courtesy, unselfish-- , ness, modesty, purity of heart and thought, a conscience quick to repel wrong and, above all, religious faith these are the products of a Chris-tian home and these are the foundation 'stones of the nation. Build them into your borne life, lest democracy perish. " " " Throughout all our history, the spoken and written words of our great leaders pay humble and constant tribute to the guiding hand of God ; our fundamental state documents recognize His sovereignty. The Declara-tion of Independence appeals to divine justice as a witness, This great democracy of ours has many enemies assailing it from with-;i- n and without. A false democracy is seeking to overturn our representa-tive form of government and to replace, it with mob rule, or government directly by the populace," instead of by! representatives. Tnis is the'jfilfi';, democracy of the socialist and communist It is the more insidious be-cause it masquerades as true democracy. i WHAT WE UCUALLY FORGET "Pretty soft for thn,t mnn h doesu't have a thing to worry about."

Most persons probubly think that the word "starvation" la as old as the language; but It Isn't. It was first used In 1775 In a speech made In par-liament by Henry Dundas, ywho In consequence became widely known as "Starvation Dundaa." ' -- "Intensify" and "outsider" are two words less than a hundred years old. The Kngllsh 0 poet, Coleridge, delib-erately coined the forriier word because there was no other In existence to ex-press the particular shade of meaning which he wished to convey; and "out-sider" came Into being In 1844, during the convention that nominated James K. Polk for President. The delegates were subjected to uncomfortable pres-sure bf the throng of spectators gath-ered without the hall, and some one happily described It as a pressure from the "outsiders." The term was taken up by the reporters apd at once became popular. Other words unknown until the mid-dle of the Seventeenth century in-clude such now familiar ones as "sculptor," "umbrella," "opera," "sui-cide" and "peninsula," while Bentley In the Eighteenth century had actual-ly to defend himself for using such strange terms as "timid," "concede," "repudiate "'Idiom and "vernacu-lar," and George' Campbell In 1776 hesitated to use such queer new words as "originate," "sentimental" and "criminality.' BAN PLACED ON CONTRACT WORK Momentous Decision Is Handed I Down by United States Rail- -; : road Labor Board. : .i u. WORKERS HAD MADE PROTEST Action May Avert Threatened Strike ! Which" Would Have Involvtd Six Hundred Thousand Men Vote . Finally Unanimous. t One ol the most deci-sions ever. Issued by the United States railroad labor , board came in a rul-ing that places' a ban on the contract system, under which many roads are alleged to have been evading ' the board's orders as to wages, working conditions, and other matters. The decision, it was said, may serve to avert the threatened strike of 600, 000 railway shopmen and switchmen; The farming-ou- t system, through which, in some instances, entire shops were let to contractors, who, not being under Jurisdiction of thet labor board, paid lower wages than those prescribed, has been a chief grievance of the shop-men. . . , The board's decision was, based on the Indiana Harbor Belt line case, but, it was said, will apply to all other, sim-ilar cases now pending before the. board. There are many of these, not-ably one Involving the Erie. Although It was reported .that one of the three labor board members rep-resenting the railroad group demurred for a time, the vote on the fanning out decision was. finally unanimous. . , ' In specific explanation as to the na-ture of the ease," the opinion said: "Contracts .have been recently en-tered Into by various carriers, pur-porting to turn oyer to In- -, dependent contractors the1 wo'rk'bf the following classes of employees: "The six shoD crafts, the mainte-- nance of , way, certain employeea em-braced in the clerks' organization, the firemen and oilers, the hostlers . (em-braced In the engine service), and sig-nal department employees." ' The employees referred to those af-fected are said to number 150,000 are formally brought back under the labor board's jurisdiction, entitled to, the protection of Its rulings as totpay, working conditions, and the like. Approximately 1,600 shopmen and maintenance of way men on the West era Maryland railway have been on strike several weeks In protest against the farming out of work by that road, GENERAL LABOR NEWS ' Labor councils In cities which have a major league baseball team are to be requested not to attend the games as long as former trudge Landis remains as baseball commissioner. At Haverhill, Mass., the arbitration board, of which N. A. Heard of Bos-ton was the neutral member, settled the wage dispute between the manu-facturers and the Box Makers' union by reducing wages from 3 to 18 per cent, with an average reduction of 11 per cent. The manufacturers asked a 20 per cent reduction. , The new prices will continue in effect for six months in eight factories, employing 400. Resolutions declaring they will .ac-cept no further wage reductions under threat of a nation-wid- e strike were adopted by the delegates representing 150,000 members of the Amalgamated Clothing Worker of America. I'uy of the clothing workers was cut about 15 per cent lost year. It was followed by a s' strike In New York In which the closed shop was the chief Issue. A defense fund of $2,300,000 was raised to support the workers. A uniform wage reduction of $3 a month for the several grades of un-licensed seamen on th Great Lakes for the 19! season has been an-nounced by the executive committee of the Lake Carriers association. A reduction of 25 cents per duy In the wage of the 40,000,000 laborers In the t'ttlWd Stales, 5scrcUi.7 .f Ltbor Davis declared, would decrease ' the purchasing power of the nation $10,-000.0- a day $3,000,000,000 a year. Combined common sense and Justice to all persons concerned In railroad labor disputes will be the means of a solution of every problem affecting the relations of railroads and their em-ployees, Ben W.

MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day somehow takes hold of us as no other holiday of the year does. Not only does it suggest what others have done for us, but if we are respon-sive to the best we feel we must pass the blessing along to others. Not long since we thought the days of war had gone, even Gen-r- al Pershing himself thought there would be "no war in a hun-dred years." Many had begun to feel that prophecy had come true and that the nations would soon "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears in-to pruning hooks." But this false security ,was broken by the studied cunning of war leaders of an industrious race. In one swoop ell the learning and skill of that people was marshaled to crush the world. Yet even then we tarried. H6w' we toiled and hoped. Each day new appeals were madei and the nation sighed fopeace. But peace had flown. In the midst of national death throes our people heard the ap-- . peal from across the water, and with gigantic efforts she bridged the sea and drove the lurking : menace to cover. Bugle calls were answered by tramping feet. Never, before had heroic depths of the world's composite blood been stirred. Onward they went. They marched as God's "because their cause was just." And now the battle's done, brave men have caught the torch and borne it high. Ideals of Freedom have been highly praised. The battle scarred are home again, and in the cities of the dead the many sleep who gave their all for us. Could they but speak what would they say to you and ; me respecting Memorial Day? They who turn deaf ears to sor-did barterings and greed. To you and me they thunder a mes-sage stopped ears cannot record. In special majesty their spirits statid pointing to the world's promises and wrongs. No great-er need has ever arisen for fair play than today. Gladly we lay flowers on their narrow beds but from beneath the flower decked mounds there is a cry for human justice. Memorial day suggests the spirit of sacrifice, and shar-ing and giving up for the sake of others. America may well be proud of her heroes, for the bal-ance of justice in every war has been on her side. Do you think the dead delight in brass bands and orators? That is our privil-ege to give them unasked. They ask for virtue in the nation for power dedicated to right. Let's honor them with all that lies within us. Let's exalt them hy emulation, in devotion, in sac-rifice, that their names may be 'held in perpetual honor, and the cause for which they died may never perish from the earth. HE DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND Feasibly British Officer Thought Or. . derly'e Proper Place Was - Under the Table. ; . At the Army and Navy club In Washington they tell a story of, a newly appointed, officer In the British army who was making his first visit to the mess, with tlie usual Inquiry of "any; complaints?"--Now,- : he bad arr rived at the mess somewhat earlier than expected, and the orderly of the day, being taken by surprise, and in his shirt sleeves, dived under the table to save a reprimand. "Any complaints?" asked the officer. Grasping the situation at once, the .corporal answered for the absent or-derly. "None, sir." ."Who Is thlsr asked the officer, suddenly catching sight of the orderly under the table. Again the corporal rose to the oc-casion. "Orderly of the day, sir," was his answer. "Oh i" said the officer, and passed on. The next mess were quite prepared, with the orderly, spick and span, standing at attention at the head of the table. "Any complaints?" "None, sir," answered the orderly. The officer gave him a careful sur-vey. "And who are youf be asked. "Orderly of Uie day, sir." "And why the deuce are yon not under the table?" was the unexpected retort. Only a Question of Time Before Congress Wipes Out State Boundaries By JUDGE FRANK JOHNSTON, JR., Chicago. Congress is breaking down the integrity of the states. If the present course is persisted In it is only a question of time when congress will wipe out state boundaries. The people of the states will be governed by bureau-crats at Washington, and not by state officials elected by the people. These bureaucrats will not be responsible to the people. Today the constitutional provisions and safeguards against a central administration are being honored more-i- n the breach than in the observ-- , ance. They are treated as if they were ""trifles light as air." Overzealous people find it easier to pass one law for all the states through congress than forty-eig- ht laws, one for each state. ... . . The desire to legislate at Washington has become a disease. The evil of overregulation by law threatens the safety of our government. The passing of laws has become an American mania. It ia one of the most serious menaces to our liberty. ' The invasion of personal 'rights today is assuming the form of des-potism. It is creating a hostile attitude on the part of the people against the law. I was about to say that we need a new magna charta. But our rights of. individual freedom are defined. All we have to do is to protect these rights. .I Devilfish Protected by Nature. The smaller devilfish swim In shoala, and as they move they change their color according to their sur-roundings.

Any American Artist Finds Himself Practically Without Patronage By C. R. W. NEVINSON, British Artist Any citizen of the United States who strives to be an artist in his own land finds himself practically without patronage for the simple reason that Americans in general have no critical faculty whatever. Any Americans who have the idea that I am merely annoyed by a lack of financial success among them are quite wrong ; on the contrary, I regard that failure as a splendid compliment They will say. nice words in praise of American artists and they will support the growing chauvinist movement for American art But they will not buy American pictures; that is the last step that occurs to any-body. In this respect the women are more responsible than their men. The k&sfcatfe ti a criticil faculty net en!j Americans to tn'st the auction room, to invest in the gilt-edge- d dead, to avoid their own native talent; it has the most alarming consequences for the artists themselves. The real artists of New York, by whom I mean the adventurers in art, the creator, have to earn their living as draymen or waiters, achieving their intellectual work when they are dead beat with manual labor. Wife's Privilege to Purchase Food. That It Is the wife's privilege, in all classes of society, to lay out the money for food, was the dictum laid down by a London (England) magis-trate In deciding a fuairiAioniul dis-pute, which arose because the bus-ban-dissatisfied with his meals, de-cided to purchase the food himself.

J feel that the problems behind the minor offender who comes to the juvenile court are so in importance that is, the proper re constructive work that is required to ha done to readjust the child, readjust his living conditions, is work of such magnitude that the 'ederal gov-ernment, with ita vast resources and prestige, would perhaps he the most effective agency or instrumentality with 'nieh to do that work. Further, it would probably lead more quickly to a standardization of all the work. I am very much interested and concerned about the stand-ardization of reconstructive work that should Le done, and the way in which it should be done, and to get the accessary financial aid to do it, and do it right. Then, again, there would be a nation-wid- e application of this whole principle of juvenile court work and procedure, which we have not yet got, ' although the juvenile court is some twenty ears old. A great part of our country is without tht application of juvenile court principle in iU treat dent of children. - |
