LABOR MONOPOLY MAY
BECOME DANGEROUS
WE, AS A PEOPLE, do not ap
prove, or long countenance, monop
oly in any line that interferes with
the rights of that group that la all
of us, the general public. Wo havo
monopolies, usually in utility lines
that are so controlled and regulated
as to guarantee their operation for
the public good. Monopolies in com
modity production have been out
lawed.
A monopoly that Is raising a
dangerous head Insofar as the
best interests of the general
public Is concerned, Is that of
labor. It Is an Irresponsible
monopoly that, all too frequent
ly, recognises no rights other
than Its own. It Is accountable
to no authority other than the
particular group of workers in
volved ia any controversy.
Labor is a service, not a com
modity. It is a partner in produc
tion. As such it should be account
able as are the other partners of
.production, capital and manage
ment. Capital and management are
not permitted to encroach on the
rights of the general public, and la
bor should be in the same category.
The contracts organized labor
makes with its production partners,
management and capital, are not
enforceable because organized labor
is not responsible under the law, as
it should be. It is guaranteed the
rights to make that contract. It can
force the observance of the contract
on the part of management and cap
ital. Organized labor, too, should
be placed in a position where failure
to recognize the validity of a con
tract it has made, failure to abide
by the provisions agreed to, would
mean paying a penalty.
LABOR SHOULD BECOME
PARTNER OF CAPITAL
THE LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
that are partners with management
and capital in the operation of the
railroads recognize the rights of the
general public. Under the law they
accept, and meet, responsibility for
the performance of contract obliga
tions. They do not walk off the job
over fancied or trivial grievances.
Unless organized labor in oth
er lines accepts responsibility
for the contracts it makes and
recognizes the rights of the gen
eral public, that general public
will rise up in its might and
demand of congress such legis
lation as will curb the strikes
caused by Internal quarrels, or
in violation of contracts. Such
strikes jeopardize the rights of
the general public, and aeeom
nlieh nnthintr f\t zrolnn *n IoKa*
Collective bargaining cannot con
tinue to be only a one-way program.
The placing of direct financial re
sponsibility on the union for the
breaking of contracts over trivial in
cidents would help guard the rights
and interests of the general public.
Politically that general public is the
majority. It is of greater impor
tance to the vote seeker than is the
minority represented by. organized
labor. Leaders of organized labor
should realize they cannot long main
tain an arbitrary monopoly in the
labor field.

ADVERTISING DECREASES
COST OF PRODUCTION
REXFORD GUY TUGWELL, then
assistant secretary of agriculture,
now governor of Puerto Rico, was,
I believe, the first to denounce ad
vertising as an "economic waste."
In doing so he spoke for a coterie of
Impractical theorists who had dele
gated to themselves the job of re
making America. No one of them
attempted to prove the truth or
falsity of that statement. Had
they made even the most super
ficial investigation they would eas
ily have demonstrated that adver
tising is both a price reducer for
the consumer, and a profit increas
er for the manufacturer and the
distributor.
Advertising has done that by
making two or more sales grow
where only one grew before. It
has divided the overhead, taxes,
rents, management, light, fuel
and-other items, between a larg
er number of purchasers, and
so resulted in lower prices for
each as well as leaving a larger
net profit on each sale. It has
made larger, and conseouentlv
more economical, production
possible. It has reduced, not in
creased, the per dollar sales
cost. It has paid (or itself and
passed along a saving in price
to every purchaser of an adver
tised product. A striking exam
ple is the automobile. Advertis
ing made possible a far better
ear at but a fraction of the cost.
? ? ?
THERE ARE THOSE in thf Unit
ed States whom we rightfully cred
it with being able to see through a
not overly clear glass, who are fear
ful we may have to call upon other
nations to rescue us from the Nazi
ism against which we have been
fighting, and restore to us the free
dom we have enjoyed in the past.
State socialism, to which we were
drifting, and Naziism are but two
of a kind. We were approaching all
too close to the edge of State Social
ism.

V it&min-Enriched
Pork Shown Feasible
Proper Feeding Will
Add Vitamins to Pork
By W. J. DRTDEN
Research work at the Washing
ton state experiment station has
shown that it is not only possible
but entirely practical to increase the
thiamin content of pork with
selected feeds.
Sub-deficiencies of thiamin or vita
min B1 constitute the most widely
spread human nutritional ailment in
the United States. Pork is recog
nized as one of the richest sources
of thiamin among the natural and
universally consumed foods.
The experiment showed that cull
peas properly used in hog feeding
will result in pork richer in thi
amin. There is no reason to doubt
but what special markets may be
developed advertising thiamin-rich
Feed hogs enriched food.
pork, iodine eggs, enrlcned bread,
enriched milk and other food prod
ucts have had special markets de
veloped along this line. At the start,
the demand may be limited to hos
pitals and others who are willing to
pay a premium for an enriched pork
product.
On a fresh basis, the ham and loin
were found to contain the highest
amounts of thiamin, followed by
shoulder, heart, liver and kidney.
The liver had the highest riboflavin,
followed by heart, ham, shoulder
and loin.
Jeeps for Farming
Will Be Available
Postwar jeep at work.
In tests conducted at state col
leges on private farms and at the
factory, the postwar jeep has been
proven superior tor the military jeep
in most operations.
The new jeep will do about
anything that a light truck and a
tractor will do. It can be used for
delivery purposes, or for plowing or
other farm work, such as discing,
drilling, logging, harrowing and the
various transportation jobs found on
the average farm.
Preventing Odors and
Garlic Taste in Milk
To prevent the milk showing a
garlic or onion taste or odor, it is
necessary to follow these rules care
fully:
1. Clip the tops with a mowing
machine before grass is pasture
high.
2. Graze the pasture lightly with
young and dry stock.
3. If cows are turned on the pas
ture immediately after milking and
removed four hours before next
milking, the trouble will be largely
eliminated.
4. After bringing the cows from
the pasture, give them a light feed
ing of dry roughage.
5. Keep the cows outside the milk
ing barn until just before milking
time.
8. Cool the milk promptly after
milking.
Good Sheep Pastures
Make good pastures the basis of
the ration for all classes of sheep,
is the advice of sheep experts.
Healthy sheep grazing legume or
legume and grass pastures and pro
vided with salt and water need no
other feed. The pasture season
may be extended by using wheat or
rye pasture.
If legume roughages are not used,
feed liberal amounts of protein con
centrates and some extra calcium.
Soybean oil meal, limestone will
prove welcome additions to fattening
lambs on corn silage diet.
Easy-to-Make 'Action' Clothes
Just the Thing for Late Summer
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
\/fOST of us want to keep our.
^ pretty wash summer clothes
just as long as warm weather per
sists, with utter disregard as to
fixed seasonal calendar dates.
If you are an ardent sports
enthusiast, life in the open has
doubtlessly taken toll of your
"action" clothes most of all. You'll
find, -however, that you can easily
fill in the gaps and keep your sum
mer appearance just by stitching
up easy-to-launder cottons and white
rayon sharkskin costumes. At your
sewing center, you can learn some
smart and thirfty short-cut tricks
from experts which will help you to
achieve chic and good-looking cos
tumes to tide you over for the re
mainder of the summer season.
First on the replacement list is a
simple - to - make one-piece tennis
dress of crisp cotton or sharkskin as
shown centered in the group illus
trated. It has action-free lines
throughout and boasts a cool com
fort with its deep-cut sleeveless
armholes and shapely low neckline.
A high-riding, set-in waistband as
sures perfect fit and flattery for a
young lithe figure.
Whether you relax at the beach or
countryside, you'll find that your
most frequent companion for com
plete comfort is a ruffled full-skirted
pinafore of striped cotton that any
beginner can turn out in a few hours
at the sewing machine. The pretty
model to the left is a shining exam
ple of the now-so-popular pinafore
mode. When you wash the pinafore,
on any cottons for that matter, you
can make sure that white will
emerge gleaming and colors will
all look bright if you dissolve blu
ing flakes with the soap. This ex
pert technique insures against a dan
ger of streaks and saves time by
avoiding need for a separate bluing
job. Hinse in two clear waters for
perfect results. Now that cottons
have become of all-year-round inter
eat, it is well to know the various
laundry tricks that will keep them
fresh and new looking.
Another way to achieve a perky
finish that is dirt-resisting, is to dip
all of your cottons in a quart of thin
starch mixture in which you've dis
solved a quarter-cake of a specially
prepared wax-like substance. This
will keep the iron from sticking
and pulling, and you can iron your
clothes to satiny crispness before
they are entirely dry and so by-pass
the sprinkling chore.
Cool fillers for any wilting ward
robe are cotton blouses that are clas
sic in style and made of checks
and stripes. Combinations of blue
and white will make you look as
fresh as a summer breeze. You'D
find that white sharkskin slacks,
as pictured to the right, team
beautifully with any of these cotton
toppers, thus playing an important
role in the wardrobe-stretching pro
gram.
Your swank town cotton suits in
dark ginghams, checked cottons,
black shantung, black eyelet and
smart rayon in.a linen-like weave
will carry through the mid-season
triumphantly. In fact, they will give
excellent service for school wear
and shopping until cool weather
actually sets in.
Tricks with ribbon work like
magic in reviving a summer frock
that needs uplift. Ruffled ribbon
shirred and gathered at the neck
line ending in a cascade down the
bodice opening. A huge bow of rib
bon placed at the low neckline or
posed at the shoulder, together '
with a belt of the same ribbon (you
can buy the ready-made belts at
the ribbon counter) will add new In
terest to your dark summer print
frock. Self-fabric bows made out of
left-over scraps of material, one on
each jacket pocket, also at the
neckline, or placed at the base of a
low-cut neckline will add a refresh
ing note to your costume.

Crownless Type
When the upswept hairdo came
"in" this season, it brought a chal
lenge to milliners to create hat
types that would take care of the
topknot of curls puffs brought en
masse to the top of the head. Re
sourceful milliners found the answer
in the crownless hat. By leaving
the top crown open milady's hair
would not be disarranged. The
charming theater hat by Mme.
Reine here shown is typical of the
new trend toward crownless hats. It
is fashioned of black Chantilly lace,
bound in velvet and roped in gray
pearls. Many of the summer white
hats hare ruches of tulle or net or
lace banked about the headline of
the brim to simulate a crown,
though in reality the top is open.
Figurines Latest
In Juvenile Jewelry
Designers are paying a lot of at
tention this fall to creating jewelry
items for youngsters. Something
new in the field are the little brace
lets from which dangle figurines that
are miniature replicas of nursery
rhyme characters and fairy tale
folk. Painted wooden pins to wear
on the lapels of tiny-tot coats con
sist of lilliputian Russian boys and
girls or cunning Dutch maidens and
Mexican figures. Hand - painted i
hearts on a fine silver chain appeal
to the little girl of esthetic taste.
The new displays show boxed sets
containing necklaces and matching
bracelets. For the teen-age group
the newest thing is a dog-collar and
matching bracelet in bright leather,
studded with wee gold hearts. A big
heart dangles from the wrist strap.
Many pastel jewelry items to be
worn with "young teen black" en
liven this season's collections of
jewelry designed for the very young.
Lace for Luxury Lingerie
The treatment of lace used as part
of the garment rather than a trim
ming is seen in the new slips and
gowns. Slips with the entire bodice
of lace are shown especially in
black, the demand for which is in
creasing right along. Boudoir coats
and robes are very lovely made ot
allover pastel cotton lace.
Nailhead-Studded Felts
An effective form of trimming Is
seen on vogulsh new felt hats for
fall which are studded with either
bright nailheads or with tiniest sat
in buttons. Smart accessory ensem
bles include hat, belt and cuffs of
felt, enhanced with matched nail
head trimming.
AL WESSON'S story on "Charley
Paddock, the Fastest Human,
in the "Best Sports Stories of 1944,"
recalls a Paddock yarn I have nev
er seen in print. The marine captain,
killed in a plane crash while on war I
duty, told me some
years ago about
the most interesting
split - second of his
long career as a
sprinter.
You may recall
that Paddock on sev
eral occasions had
run the hundred in
9% esconds. Also
that he was the
first of the ex
Graatland Rice ??"?? Boclt ?,v"
er this same dis
tance in 9.5. I asked him one day
why it was that being able to tie
the record time and again, he had
been unable at some high peak spot
to beat it.
So Charley told his story, which
makes one wonder whether or not
nature hasn't set a certain limit on
what the human frame can stand.
"I was running that afternoon,"
he said, "against a strong field and
I know I was never in better condi
tion. I had the feeling before the
race that this was to be my big
day?the day where I would set a
new world mark, possibly around 9%
seconds, or even a shade faster. I
had that record mark in my mind
before the race was run. 1 was
thinking of it while waiting for the
starter's pistol.
"At the bark of the gun I was
away faster than nstul. At the 59
yard mark I knew I had made the
fastest time of my career for that
distance. I increased my speed on
the way home and at the 75 or M
Tird mark T nnnlH iso thai QtZ a*
perhaps 9H all ready for track his
tory. Then a queer thine happened,
at this point I suddenly felt my lee
lieaments and lee muscles beein
to qniver, as If they were beine torn
loose from the bone. In that split
second I caueht the flash that if I
continued this same pace I would
probably finish as a cripple.
"So I called off any continuance of
full pressure and eased down. Even
then I again ran the distance in 9%,
where I threw away two-fifths of a
second in those last 20 or 29 yards.
I found later, however, that my
Judgment had been correct, for I
was sore and lame in the calves of
both legs for a week. The speed and
the stamina were there, but the
physical structure wasn't for that
pace."
Gehrigi Hard Luck
Much along the same line, which
proves again how difficult it Is to
crack certain marks, is Lou Gehrig's
case. Here was another star who
came within a half turn of setting
one of the greatest records ever
written by the ash.
Up to June 3, 1932, only two men
in baseball history had ever hit
four home runs in one game. The
first quadruple blast came from the
bat of Bobby Lows of Boston in
May, 1894. Two years later big Ed
Delehanty of Philadelphia, one of
the great hitters of all time, plas
tered four out of the park to tie
Lowe's record.
Sixteen years later Lou Gehrig
had his big chance. Facing the
strong Athletic team of that season,
Gehrig hit a home run his first four
times at bat. He was now on even
terms with Lowe and Delehanty,
with another chance left. On his final
appearance um caugnt one souaiy
end squarely on the snoot. It was
the loosest of his toe hard smashes,
hot in piaee of traveling slightly to
left or right, the big blow was caught
in deep center against the fence.
It was a matter of raw luck that
kept Luis Angel Firpo, the Wild Bull
of the Pampas, from putting across
the greatest ring sensation of all
time. Few recall that the ring had
been lifted that night at least 2 feet
above normal. This move had been
made to give the big crow'd a bet
ter chance to see the light. The drop
from the ring to the press seats was
a deep one. I recall saying that I'd
hate to have 220-pound Firpo fall
across my neck from the lifted
plateau.
It so happened that when Dempsey
came through the ropes his body fail
directly at Jack Lawrence, who in
stinctively put up both bands to pro
tect himself. If Dempsey had top
pled a foot to the right or a foot to
the left the champion would almost
certainly have gone all the way
down to the press rail ? or at least
so far down that he would never
have had the slightest chancs to get
back through the ropes in time.
T* hw eiirH narvmir mortrlne that
?port history is often written.
College vs. Pro Football
Greasy Neale, coach of the Phila
delphia Eagles, a team that lost only
one game last fall, insists that his
high-flying Eagles would have beat
en either Army or Navy last fall.
Coach Steve Owen of the Giants
doesn't agree.
"Army had too much youth and
speed, plus a lot of power," Steve
said.
"We have too much experience
?Just as much speed and Just as
much power," Neale counters.

Yet, do you realize that America

to keep that General Store running
efficiently and prosperously?
For instance, its delivery truck
was made in America; but 300
products, from 56 countries, went
into its making. The telephone

American-made. But 18 of the tele
phone's important mererials came
from outside the country.
The coffee, the tea, the sugar,
the tin in the cans, the cocoa and
chocolate... these and many mote
of the things the store buys and
sells came from overseas. Take
them away and business languishes,
becomes more difficult to operate.
Take them away, and the com
