If the Iron be blunt, and be do not

John L. Lewis, who first disclaimer
any responsibility for the coal miners
?. strike, finally told the miners to go
back to work "in the public inter
est," tho first t'lue he has made a
play to the public in many years. The
play will be recognized as such and
Mr. Lewis will not gain public support
by it. The whole question in the
strike concerned getting certain supervisory
employees into the United
M ine Workers. That's what makes
the average citizen mad at labor.
High-handeil recruiting and jurisdictional
disputes between unions are
lsted as the most frequent causes or
strikes. When labor has a legitimate
gripe the public feels it should be
settled. But the public?and returning
servicemen ? does not like strikes
which endanger fhe public welfare,

riding in the saddle, bat unwarrmnt

Victory Loan I
There hasn't been too mueh pre pa- j
ration locally for .the forthcoming |
Victory Loan campaign, whieh starts i
October 29, and this is s mistake. ?
There is much reason, in additloa
to the fact that the war is oeor, for
- * a seeming lethargy. Prineipal one la,
the rate at which bond-cashing has
increased.
v It is natnrally very discouraging to
sec bond holders rushing to the bsnk
as quickly as 00 days have passed to
get the money which they let Uncle
Bam have a short two months before.
This is not the intent or purpose of
.bond campaigns.
j\'-. , The government. with expenses
Still in the high brackets, needs the
taoney, of course, but. more important,
the sale of bonds to individuals
"will brake the present inflationary
trends and provide the cash for tho
rainy tlav that ha* nlwav*. and will,
come?provided the buyer holds hia |
bonds. ]
Sale of the familiar "F" bonds (
should be pu*hed< with greotest vigor. ]
for this will mean t"Re average citisen

The news that a veteran of the 1
preesent war has returned to hips* 3

ere returning here to re-enter school m
and complete their interrupted cduca

diploma will be pre requisite for almost

doesn't have one w'11 find himself I*

Bell-Bottom Trousers
Saturday tools* Navy day, tho

bit of aaorlca with the nun who

not to wrtto a page or two about

duo to tho nature of ttola column of

contain anything out of range of a i
aeTenth grade student, it will have !
to be confined to some personal ex- 1
parlances which get better as the

Bell-bottom trousers, those -13button
job# which enlisted men,
their wives and others deplore, are
tradition-filled toe. According to
Oompton's Encyclopedia (1929 edition).
the 13 buttons renresent the
13 original states, while the white i
"sklwie" shirt which shows above
the open-necked collar la a tribute j
to Admiral Farragut. It seems the j
Civil War admiral was burled at
sea, the sail In which he was lower |
ed to the waves was torn op and '
a piece given to each man aboard. |
Since a sail would not last forever, i
the navy made the white "dickey"
distant relation of the models la- |
dies wear these day) a separate I
piece to cover the opening of the
collar. The navy "dickey" finally
went by the boards bpt the white
"skiwle" took it's place. And for
some reason or another unexplained,
the white stripes on the big collar
was a steal from the British,
b-b-t
There Is a great hue and cry those
days to dispense with the bell-bottoms,
and I can think of only one
reason for retaining them. As uncomfortable
as they are, bell-bot- |
toms are a grett incentive for the
navy enlisted man to advance In .
rating until he finally becomes a !
chief petty officer and thereby
wins the right to wear regular
britches. Banning of bell-bottoms
iqlght destroy the morale of the
navy from this standpoint alone,

My experience with bell-bottoms j
was limited, but lone enonrh to an
predate the plight of wearing them.
I chose the navy for several eflly
reasons. X had watched amy maneuvers
