A little harmony;
Be said: "The ceilings are too low;
Production isn't free";
I asked about some world accord,
Prepared or in the rough;
He shrugged his shoulders and re
plied,
"We Just can't get the stuff."
"What are my chances for some
peace?"
I asked him with a sigh;
"The trouble is," he answered me,
"Demand exceeds supply";
"We need some trustfulness," I said
"And honesty true blue";
He said, "It's awful hard to get,
Not much is coming through."
"Is tolerance yet coming through?
How's patience and restraint?"
"Production should be good," he
said,
"But Just the same it ain't"
Of milk of human kindness I
Next made an Inquiry,
But got the word I'd have to have
A high priority.

UNION MEMBERS REFUSE
TO VOTE AS ORDERED
AS A LEADER of organized labor
Samuel Gompers was better in
formed as to those who constituted
his following than are those who
profess to lead organized labor to
day. Gompers realized that the
members of his unions were Amer
ican citizens; that they recognized
as their first allegiance that of coun
try; that they refused to surrender
to a union leader any of their pre
rogatives of citizenship. Gompers
never attempted to tell members of
AFL for what party, or what candi
dates, they were to vote. Under his
leadership organized labor was
strictly nonpartisan. He would ap
prove or oppose proposed legisla
tion, and was always in a position
to seek labor support from the rep
resentatives in congress of both
parties.
Philip Murray, with his CIO-PAC
organizations, has taken a directly
opposite position from that Gompers
maintained for many years. Mur
ray failed to realize that his mem
bers were first American citizens;
that they demanded their right to
be their own judges of what they
considered best for their country;
they would not submit to being told
how to vote.
But Murray and his kind in
organized labor were not the
only ones who failed to properly
appraise the attitude of organ
ized labor. Many political lead
ers in both major parties ex
pected the membership of Mur
ray's organization to vote for
the candidates and the party as
named by Murray. These polit
ical leaders were fearful of the
vote of the minority groups,
whether It be organized labor,
or farmers, or any other group
whose leaders were making a
loud noise in Washington.
The national elections in Novem
ber, as did the primary elections
in many states, will demonstrate
that members of minority groups
will, as American citizens, vote as
individuals for the party or the
candidates they believe will serve
the best interests of all the people
of the nation.
? ? ?
VOTE AS THEY PLEASED
That they voted as American citi
zens, and not as a leader directed,
was demonstrated most conclusive
ly in California. The dominant la
bor influence in the state is CIO.
AD the CIO vote thrown to either of
the two major parties would mean
winning for the party receiving
them. The state has an odd pri
mary law which enables any candi
date to run on both tickets. The
names of both the major party can
didates for governor appeared on
both the Republican and Democrat
ic primary ballots. The registered
electorate of the state is heavily
Democratic, and the CIO, as an or
ganization, had endorsed and strong
ly supported, the Democratic can
didate. Despite such conditions.
Governor Warren was nominated by
both the Democratic and Republi
can tickets. That would not have
been possible had CIO members fol
lowed the political dictation of CIO
leaders. Politically those leaders
are phony. They did not, could not
and will not be able to deliver the
votes of American citizens.
Such a result as the one in Cali
fornia, and somewhat similar ones
in every state in which CIO took a
definite part in the primary cam
paign, should demonstrate to all
minority leaders that they cannot
politically lead their groups like a
flock of sheep. It should also
convince some leaders in both par
ties that there is nothing to either
expect or fear from these groups.
It should teach them that compro
mise and appeasement of these
groups at the expense of the ma
jority of all American citizens is
not profitable as a vote getting pro
cedure. The candidate and the po
litical party that serves the best in
terest of a majority of all the peo
ple is the one a majority will vote
lor in the November elections.

THE 'IKON CERTAIN"
COULD THE AMERICAN PEO
PLE but know definitely what lies
behind that iron curtain, with which
Russia bars her border, there would
be no fear of America's adopting
anything on the order of communistic
totalitarianism. To practically all
that curtain shrouds a mystery. The 1
few who have penetrated it know
it covers the utmost of inequalities; J
an entire lack of freedom for the
individual; complete regimentation;
poverty for the masses, and a serf- 1
dom that is as bad as, or worse than,
any that prevailed under the czars.
There are those who, for selfish rea
sons, would foist that on America.

IF ARBITRATION is to settle the
disputes between labor and manage
ment, the arbiter must have all the
facts. He must know the invest
ment, the costs, the profits. With
out such facta he can do nothing 1
more than guess at a decision, and 1
s guess means compromise. Unless 1
the decision is based on facts, there
will be a continuous demand for
more on the part of labor. The pub
lic will be called on to pay these
increases. The public is entitled to
know that soch payment is neces
sary.
Woman's World
Selection of Suitable Fabric
Important in Tot's Garments
?rtta ~J4atey
VV7HEN children are growing by
leaps and bounds, it's some
times a difficult job to keep up tbeir
wardrobes. If the mother is handy
with the needle, the youngster
is lucky because he or she can al
ways be kept in suitable toggery.
Just consider the position of the
average family. Dad's shirts can
always be converted into boy's
shirts for junior, pinafores or
dresses and blouses can also be used
for dresses, blouses and skirts for
the younger girls.
When making clothing for the
younger members, particularly in
using old material, suitability should
be carefully considered. Some
plaids and prints used for mother's
dresses or dad's shirts may be per
fectly stunning on the adult, but very
poor for the young child.
If there is enough fabric only for
a skirt, make that out of plain or
print, with little straps if there is
enough material, and let the child
wear a blouse of contrasting mate
rial.
Classic Styles Popular
For Girl's Dresses
Fortunately little girl's dresses
vary little from year to year. You
can buy several good basic patterns
and use them again and again, with
just slight variations. If you are
good at alteration, you might even
use these patterns for several
years, simply taking them in when
you first get them, and then letting
them out after a few months or
years as the girl grows.
Jumpers with several changes of
blouses are very much acceptable
[or the girl under and slightly over
10. If you are using a heavy mate
rial such as corduroy, be sure that
the lines of the garment follow the
rule of strict simplicity.

to any type of material and may
also have a variety of trimmings.
You'll want contrasting color tape
on some, bric-a-brac on others and
perhaps embroidery on still others
if you have the time and are so
inclined.
Growing girls particularly need
gored or full skirts, the basque type
being very popular. It will particu
larly please them if the garment has
some grown-up feature like a plain
colored bodice with a matching
print in the skirt.
If your youngster is old enough,
let her work out some of the deco
rative details of the dress herself.
Bhe may be interested in sewing a
leather-stitch around a full skirt, for
example; or perhaps, she has
learned some interesting weaving or
braiding at school with which she
might like to trim the collar, pock
eta or sleeves.
Speaking of pockets, these are a
very handy feature in the young
ster's dress. Children just adore
them, and they can easily carry
decorative detail that will make the

dreas unusually attractive and en

If you are making a drew out of
Did things of your own or out of
dacfs ahirta, and find that you are
?hart af material, you might try a
band rfoag the hem, around the
?leaves and neck in a contrasting
color. This will not only add length
to the dress, but is a very smart
feature in youngster's clothing.
If the girl is in the under 10 group
and you are making skirts and
blouses (or her, consider them as
separate garments. When you fin
ish them, however, sew a tape
around the waist of the skirt andf
{dace button holes all around H.1
Then sew buttons on the blouse so -
that the two can be attached to-'
gether. In this way you prevent
the blouse from gaping from under
neath the skirt, and this is especial
ly important if the girl likea active
play.
Shirtwaist effects are popular in
this age group and many tailored
dresses can be concocted from
shirts. If yoii have a "blue or white

children's garment/because they are
easy for the youngster to manipu
late. Furthermore, they are eco
nomical and add decoration even to
the simple dress.
Because of the many washings
which children's garments must
take, always select a sturdy mate
rial that will not lose its color or
firmness of weave. A chiffon dress
may be available for remodel
ing and it might occur to you to
make a youngster's dress out of it,
but neither the material nor its lack
of wearability is suitable for the
active girls under the age of 10.

Ironing Tricks
To iron sports dresses or
blouses with an action back, use
the small end of the ironing
board. Iron the gathers toward
the yoke then turn and face to
the wide end of the board so you
can iron down from the yoke to
the waist.
When ironing seams, nose the
iron under the seams (on the
wrong side) to eliminate seam
marks. When skirts are com
pletely ironed, turn to the right
side and finish off such details as
lapels, pockets, cuffs and hem.
When gored skirts are cut on
the bias, iron with the weave of
the cloth, keeping them smooth
and free of bulges at the seam.
Iron gently, smoothing the fab
ric as you go along, and do not
pull.
Pockets are important! Poorly
ironed, they look like something
that does not belong to the
dress. Turn the garment to the
wrong side, then to the right side
and press carefully into place.
Avoid a limp, bang-dog look in
pockets.
To iron zipper plackets, close
the zipper first and iron close to
the zipper with the nose of the
iron. Smooth out wrinkles on the
zipper tape, but never iron di
rectly on the zipper itself.
Iron tucks slowly until abso- ,
lutely dry. For vertical tucks,
pull taut and iron lengthwise. On
horizontal tucks, start at the top
and iron downward.

Rapid Growth Needed
For Better Results
Past Feathering Chicks
Cut Down Peed Bills
By W. J. DRYDEN
Efficient, rapid growth is best
measured by the weight of the bird
at an early age. Studies of the
USDA on the growth of cockerels
have indicated that the greatest
variability occurs between 3 and 6
weeks of age, if a good diet is fed
and the cockerels have access to di
rect sunlight and the equivalent of
free range. This is the best period

Charlea W. Knox at the USDA saya
there are maximum differences in
weight between the slowest grow

from these experiments would in
dicate that culling should start when
the chicks are still in the brooder

Know Your Breed
Aberdeen -Angus
By W. J. DBTDEN
History of the Aberdeen-Angus
breed in the United States dates
back to the importation in 18S0 of a
cow named "Dateboss" from Port
le then, Scotland. There is no rec
ord at any .present off-springs from
this cow. In l^i George Grant,
Elgon of Sunbeam, excellent
type of Aberdeen-Angus ball.
Victoria, Kana., imported at leaat
three bulla and ran them with com
mon itock. This was really the foun
dation of the present breed in
America, although many importa
tions have been made since that
time.
The Aberdeen-Angus are bred and
raised almost exclusively for beef,
although some strains are fairly
good milkers. They bold an envi
able record in the feed lot and as
fat slaughter cattle.
Control Corn Earworm
By Proper Treatment
In order to prevent corn-earworm
Cornell has found that an inexpen

heavy grade, will prove satisfac
tory. The ears should be treated
1 after the silk has started to turn
/
r
brown at the Up, from thres to flva
day* after silk first appears.
Apply the oil with an ordinary
medicine dropper. Fill half full,
about 20 drop*, for small ears, and

The oil penetrates the silk "chan
