Costumes of Old Days During the Eighteenth century the old-l’ashioned doublet had developed into a coat and close-fitting breeches tied below the knee, worn with light silk stockings and buckled shoes; hats were broad-brimmed, turned up on three sides and edged with feathers or ribbons. The coats were of velvet, silk or broadcloth and brightly colored, according to individual taste. After 1790 a change began, and round hats, short coats, light waistcoats and pantaloons which reached the ankles and fastened with buttons superseded the old finery. Shoe strings replaced buttons and hair powder went out of fashion.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS

Federation of Labor Spurns Briton’s Plea for Union With Russian Workers. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ✓"M REAT BRITAIN is alarmed by the vJ spread of communism in that country, hut Americans need not worry about it over here, if the words of President William Green of the American Federation of Labor and the cheers that greeted them in the federation’s annual convention are a true indication. Arthur A. Purcell, member of the British parliament, president of the International Federation of Trades Unions and a fraternal delegate in the meeting in Atlantic City, told the convention of his recent visit to Russia and his study of industrial conditions there, and then advised the workers of America to establish the closest relations with the Russian workers. “We must not be afraid of. new ideas,” he said. “It has often struck me that, while the Americans have been the most advanced, the most receptive, in ideas concerning mechanical inventions and business~trrgauization, they have been slow in accepting new social and political ideas. Just as British workers have sent delegations to Russia, so I hope and trust the American Federation of Labor will do the same. Do not be afraid of being called names. AVere Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Gompers or “Gene Debs, those great sons of the American people, ever afraid of being called names or being reviled, maligned or persecuted?” AAJiereupon President Green arose with fire in his eyes and said: “We in America know something of the teachings of communism and the control the communist party exercises over the socalled Russian internationale. We know that influence emanating from Moscow is seeking, as it has always sought, not to co-operate with us but to capture and control us. They call the officers and representatives of the American labor movement fakers, crooks, and scabs. Frankly they say they do not believe in collective bargaining. They do not see In any strike an opportunity to increase wages, to shorten hours, to improve the condition of the employment for workers, but they see in every strike an opportunity for revolution. “The Trade Union Educational legaue here in America, which is a creature of the communist party, frankly announces tha,t its policy is to bore within the labor movement, to destroy It and substitute for our philosophy the philosophy of communism. AVe are not ready to accept that, and we wish that our friend who has so kindly offered such frank suggestions might take back to rhe Russian Red fnternationale this message: That the American labor movement will not affiliate with an organization that preaches that doctrine.” Jumping to their feet, the delegates aft shouted their approval of Green's declaration. In the opening of the convention Mr. Green voiced the determination of organized labor to fight for passage of the child labor amendment to the Constitution. The executive council Veported an increase of 13,000 in membership over last year. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE won new L laurels for himself by his address before the convention of the American Legion in Omaha. “Tolerance” was his main theme, and he pleaded eloquently with his fellow Americans to drop every vestige of racial, religious and sectional intolerance. “It seems clear” said he, “that the results of the war will be lost and we shall only he entering a period of preparation for another conflict unless we can demobilize the racial antagonisms, fears, hatreds, and suspicions, and create an attitude of toleration in the public mind of the peoples of the earth. If our country is to have any position of leadership, I trust it may be in that direction, and I believe that the place where it should begin is at home. “If we are to maintain and perfect our own civilization, if we are to be of

any benefit to the rest of mankind,.we must turn aside from the thoughts of destruction and cultivate the thoughts of construction. AA'e cannot place our main reliance upon material forces. AA T e must reaffirm and reinforce our ancient faith in truth and justice, in charitableness and tolerance. A\ T e must make our supreme commitment to the everlasting spiritual forces of life. AA'e must mobilize the conscience of mankind.” Mr. Coolidge paid warm tribute to the service rendered to the country and to humnaity by the members of the Legion, and thus summarized remarkably well America’s effort in the AA'orld war: “In the victory which was finally gained by you and your foreign comrades, you represented on the battlefield the united efforts of our whole people. You were there as the result of a great resurgence of the old American spirit, which manifested itself in a thousand ways, by the pouring out of vast sums of money in credits and charities, by the organization and quickening of every hand in our extended industries, by the expansion of agriculture until it met the demands of famishing continents, by the manufacture of an unending stream of munitions and supplies, by the creation of vast fleets of war and transport ships, and, finally, when the tide of battle was turning against our associates, lay bringing into action a great armed force on sea and land of a character that the world had never seen before, which, when it finally took its place in the line, never ceased to advance, carrying the cause of liberty to a triumphant conclusion. You reaffirmed the position of this nation in the estimation of mankind. You saved civilization from a gigantic reverse. Nobody says now that Americans cannot fight.” Earlier in his address he said he was “a thorough believer in a policy of adequate military preparation, and after the cheers subsided he continued: “No doubt this country could, if it wished to spend more money, make a better military force, but that Is only part of the problem that confronts the government. The real question is whether spending more money to make a better military force would really make a better country. I would be the last to disparage the military art. It is an honorable and patriotic calling of the highest rank. But I can see no merit In any unnecessary expenditure of money to hire men to build fleets and carry muskets when international relations and agreements permit the turning of such resources into the making of good roads, the building of better homes, the promotion of education and all the other arts of peace which minister to the advancement of human welfare.” The Presidential party, which included Mrs. Coolidge, returned at once to AVashington, with a short stop in St. Louis. The Legion gathering was considerably stirred up over Colonel Mitchell and his air service charges and theories. Finally a compromise resolution was adopted which, without naming Mitchell, recommended the reorganization of the national defense under one cabinet officer with subdivisions of equal importance for land, sea and air. Philadelphia was awarded the convention of 1926 and it was decided to hold the meeting of 1927 in Paris, France. T ttTTH Judge E. Finley Johnson of VV Michigan, a member of the Philippines Supreme court, presiding, the international judicial commission to investigate the Shanghai riots opened its inquiry. The body is composed of American, British and French judges, and, according to the Chinese, is dominated by the British with the Americans as their dupes. Therefore the Chinese are violently opposing the investigation, asserting that there is no chance of a fair decision. A LTHOUGH the allied and German YTL statesmen in conference at Locarno, Switzerland, are working earnestlyand apparently amicably to draft a security treaty, they have not, at this writing, solved the main problem, the eastern frontiers of Germany. Briand insisted that France should have the right to guarantee the arbitration treaties between Germany and Poland and Germany and Czechoslovakia, and Chamberlain for Great Britain

supported him. but the Germans, Stresemann and Luther, objected, preferring England as the sponsor for the treaties. They also declared firmly that they would not agree to any provision in any of the treaties which would prevent Germany’s seeking revision of the eastern frontiers. The security pact for the Franco-German frontier could be fixed up speedily except for one point—the right of France to send troops through German territory to aid her allies of the little entente in case they are attacked. tTALY’S Fascists are going ahead at 1 a great pace. Last week they brought about an agreement of closest co-operation between the confederation of industry, representing the employers, and the federation of Fascist labor unions, and then the grand council of the Fascist! framed constitutional changes giving the government absolute control of every phase of industrial, political and administrative activity. One provision creates a board of compulsory arbitration for industry and labor, and another makA strikes crimes punishable by death. The Fascist! also are conducting a violent campaign against Freemasons and there have resulted serious disorders in various cities, especially Florence where several murders were committed. /"'i OL. AVILLIAM MITCHELL, on the ^ eve Of coiir*" martial for insubordination, was ordered by the adjutant general of the army to appear before the naval court investigating the airship Shenandoah. He showed up in full uniform and accompanied by his counsel, Congressman Frank Reid of Illinois. The colonel objected to taking the oath hut asked leave to read a brief statement. Admiral Jones, president of the court, refused to allow this and Mitchell still declining to testify, the court took the matter under advisement. The President’s air board heard a large number of officers of the various services. The air officers were about equally divided for and against the proposition of a defense department with a separate air force. Rear Admiral Moffet, chief of the bureau of aeronautics, was an especially interesting witness, giving his opinion of the air service as of the greatest value and telling the board at length what he thought should he done to improve it. On AVednesday the board adjourned to attend the three days of air racing at Mitchel field. T"\ EFYING the known wishes of the L-' President, the federal shipping board, after depriving the Fleet corporation of its powers, removed Leigh C. Palmer from the presidency of the corporation and ordered that Elmer E. Crowley be elected to succeed him. Palmer was offered a vice presidency in charge of European affairs hut declined and severed air connection with the corporation. Other changes of personnel were ordered by the board and carried out. Rear Admiral Cone, retired, vice president and general manager of the Fleet corporation, then resigned, telling Chairman O’Connor that “without regard to other considerations, I cannot, as a retired naval officer, serve any organization that defies the wishes and policies of the President of the United States.” E'RENCH and Spanish forces in eastr ern Morocco have effected a junction, the former advancing northward from Kifane and the latter moving south from Alhueemas bay.

Jules Steeg, minister of justice, has been selected as resident general of French Morocco to succeed Marshal Lyautey, who resigned. In Syria the rebellious Druses have been thoroughly routed by the French tanks and bombing planes. rUST as the world’s championship series between the AVashington and Pittsburgh ball teams was opening, all lovers of the national game were saddened by the word that Christy Mathewson, one of the most famous and best loved of all pitchers, was dead at Saranac Lake, N.

FORMER “BAD BOY” NOW AT HEAD OF TRAINING SCHOOL

“Bill” Ireland Now Is Anxious to Give Others a Chance.

Milledgeville, Ga.—Five years ago Bill Ireland was convicted in one of the juvenile courts of being a “bad boy generally” and committed for an indefinite period to the Georgia Training School for Boys in this town, which is another way of saying that he was sent to the state reformatory, for that is what the school is. Today Bill Ireland is superintendent of the school, having just been appointed to succeed Mrs. Orian Manson, deceased, who held that job and with Bill’s assistance as her first lieutenant did it well, even if she was a woman dealing with delinquent youths. Bill Ireland, “bad boy generally” has changed in five years to AVilliam E. Ireland, a quiet business-like man, who is doing more than anybody else In the state to show deiinquent youths that bucking the world and Its codes and regulations will get them nowhere except into trouble, and that obedience to law is necessary to success and happiness. He is doing this through sympathy. He was a bad boy and knows that you can’t “beat” reform into that type. You’ve got to understand the boy, see his problems, pat him on the back and help him. Believes in Boys. “After all, there are not any bad boys In our school,” says Bill. “They’re just fellows who have been neglected and misunderstood. There is plenty of fine material in them all right. The thing is to get their confidence, make

“Find Out What’s Been the Trouble With Them.” them know you’re a real friend, then find out what’s been the trouble with them. “Most of these fellows never had a chance. They grew up in neglect with the hand of the world seemingly against them. AA'hen we get them here, clothe them right, feed them, teach them, and give them the sort of employment that makes them hale and hearty, they change In an amazing fashion.” None has changed. more than Bill Ireland himself. He was sent to the institution by a court at Valdosta, Ga., and it seems that from the minute he set foot within its doors he swore to make good. The reason was that Mrs. Manson, then superintendent, put the situation to him in the right light, showed him where he was headed, and asked him to be a man instead of a bad boy. Made Good Himself. In a little while Bill was a “trusty,” In a little bit more Mrs. Manson put him in charge of the farm at the school; and it wasn’t long after that that he was her secretary and her first lieutenant. AVhen she died the logical thing was to make Bill Ireland superintendent in her place. The trustees weren’t actuated by sentiment In choosingyBill. They made the one-time “bad boy generally” superintendent because he was the man for the job. He is working 15 hours a day now to make the training school the best of Its sort in the country. One of the things he is after is more equipment for vocational training.

Faithful Terrier Saves Swiss Alpine Climber Geneva.—A Swiss Alpine climber named Champod, while climbing with his fox terrier in the Diahlerets mountains the other day, fell down a steep slope and broke his leg. Unable to move and fearing he would be frozen to death, Champod decided to communicate with his relatives by means of his dog. He wrote a pencil note describing the accident and the spot on the mountain side where he was stranded. He placed a note in his handkerchief, which he tied around the neck of the terrier and ordered it home. The animal seemed to understand and ran down. A few hours later Champod’s sons, who found the note, arrived with a stretcher and the victim was carried to the valley.

The Preacher and His Converts By ARTHUR B. HERBERT T - -■-H (©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) OERHAPS he should be excused if his walk jyas a bit chipper. Despite his forty-odd years in the pulpit. Rev. George Enderson was decidedly human. Twenty-five years is a long pastorate in one place, especially when the twenty-five years have witnessed a church growth and success such as Enderson had wrought in Arlington Memorial. To crown his work was to come the new church building. As Enderson rounded the street corner, deep in plans and hopes for the new structure, he had over $5,000 in the pocket of his frock coat. In his desk drawer were three thousand more. Abruptly Enderson was brought hack to the immediate present as a disarrayed figure hurtled by him and landed in a heap against the wall of a building. “An’ if you want any more, just get up an’ say so!” the big figure of Bud Nason invited the fallen one. Chagrined and thoroughly annoyed, Enderson suddenly realized that he had become an unwilling member of this group. Of course it was again the fault of Bud Nason—Bud Nason, the never-to-be-seen in church. The few days ashore between sailings were indeed too short to be spent fooling around with such company! As Enderson hurriedly disentangled himself from among the fight enthusiasts his eyes met those of Bud Nason, and the hostile message which they telegraphed wa% not lost on the brawny sailor. “AA'ell, I’ll be d—d!” half in surprise, half in indignation, summed up Nason’s thought. Jumped on again, condemned without a hearing as usual! Here a fellow comes home after ten weeks at sea, comes home and gives a well-deserved licking to the good-for-nothing yegg who has been bullying the neighborhood during his absence— and lor that gets a dirty look from the parson! “AA’.fil, I’ll he d—d !” repeated Nason, and taose about him, without knowing the provocation, agreed to be d—d with him, for was not Bud Nason champion rough-and-tumble fighter of a none-too-gentle neighborhood? Champion, unless you considered Red Bar-i-on, the only man who could beat him down. Enderson, his pleasant thoughts rudely jarred by Nason’s fistic exhibition, passed down the block, into the side gate of the churchyard and through the rear door of the parsonage. Tt was several moments before he could account for the queer sense of danger that coursed his spine, several moments before he gathered the significance of the pile of silverware piled together on the dining-room table. Instantly Enderson’s thoughts flew to the building money stored in his desk drawer awaiting bank deposit the next day. AA'as it still safe? Even as his eyes took in the open and ransacked desk drawer, the study door Closed behind him and a towering, red-headed fellow swung viciously at him. Taken completely by surprise, Enderson, the man of peace, who had never struck a blow in his life, planted his fist squarely into the snarling face! Enraged by the unexpected opposition, the burglar came on a second time. As the queer and unequal combat ran on the infuriated redhead gradually recognized the unbelievable—his strength was waning. Dazed, only the desire to kill in his mind, he grabbed a handy andiron and swung oyildly at the diminutive preacher. Fortunately for Enderson, the andiron caught in a curtain, tore It from his grip and then sideswept his head. Bud Nason’s mind was still on Enderson’s unjust condemnation as he strode past the parsonage. He turned a sneering face toward what he knew was Enderson’s study window—only to behold the curtain at that window suddenly come tearing down from Its pole, while a tinkle of falling glass accompanied the strange phenomenon.' As he bounded up the stoop, the parsonage door opened and into his arms rushed a dazed, bloody, red-headed giant, whose only thought was escape. But Nason thought otherwise. The fight was short; it only needed two of Bud’s mighty swings to send the ex : hausted crook into unconsciousness. To Ills congregation the next Sunday morning Rev. George Enderson was the same faithful minister, except that one arm was in a sling and several strips of court plaster decorated the tide of his head. But In ids own heart Enderson knew that he was changed; a new light and understanding had been given him; it was with pride and gratitude that he beamed down upon Bud Nason, whose redoubtable fists had saved the building fund. Bud Nason, who had even refused a cent of the $5,000 reward for Red Barron. Uncomfortably Bud had squirmed in his unaccustomed stiff white collar; a bit dubiously he eyed the immaculate parishionei-s about him; then his doubting eyes fell upon the figure in the pulpit—and Bud Nason beamed hack—beamed upon Enderson with a look in which was all hero-worship and amazement at the years of blindness from which he had been awakened.
