TIP FOR T"HEX old Judge Gary of the Steel Trust reJUDGE % ! fused to abandon the slave-making twelveGARY f Y hour day in his mills and then changed the subject to a discussion of the Bible, he did not pull the wool over the church folks of America. The Federal Council of Churches, which comprises Protestants, Catholics and Jews to the number of almost half the people of the country, has just “called” Judge Gary for his ruse. Replying to the Steel Trust chieftain in a public statement, the council says, in part: “The testimony of competent investigators, including eminent societies, is ignored, and the conclusion is put forth without supporting data that the twelve-hour day 'has not of itself been an injury to the employes, physically, mentally or morally.’ This statement is made in face of the fact that the committee of stockholders of the United States Steel Corporation, appointed in 1912 to investigate this matter, expressed the opinion ‘that a twelve-hour day of labor, followed continuously by any group of men for any considerable number of years means a decreasing of the efficiency and lessening of the vigor and virility of such men.’ “The plea that a shortage of labor makes impracticable the change from two to three shifts of workmen, affords but a meager defense.” And that strikes us as something worth while for old Judge Gary, the merry old soul, to think about, the next time he looks up from his Bible. HUNTING 'T TT TTOMEN who advertise for husbands, 238. Men FOR LIFE 1 j advertising for wives, 68. That’s how the PARTNERS V y ads run in a recent issue of the largest matrimonial paper published. It’s not difficult to understand why the women outnumber the men three and a half to one. Women are handicapped by convention. They are the sit-back-and-waiters. Men. unrestrained, are the go-getters. (Theoretically, at any rate.) A man who would take unto himself a wife can look them over and arrange an introduction—if one is necessary. But a woman can t walk up to a man, object matrimony. Women who advertise in the papers published by matrimonial bureaus naturally “talk up” their charms as selling points facial beauty, form, disposition, popularity, sympathetic instinct. The men, in their ads, do their heavy talking about the money they have and their prospects. In short, their ability to be a “good provider.” It’s the old cave-man system: “Come with me, fair damsel, I have a rainproof cave, a nice warm fire, and I can fetch in plenty of meat and lick all comers.” Here’s a typical ad by a man seeking a mate, the advertiser’s address somewhere in New Jersey: “Girls, I’m looking for a nice, clean, thrifty little wife. Am an American, ex-soldier, age 32, height 6 feet. weight 160. dark hair and eyes, pleasing appearance, good character, healthy, never married. Have money and city property to the value of $20.000.1 Prefer maidens, age 18 to 32/ no widows or big blonds.” Another advertiser tells applicants to enclose church or bank references. Asa special inducement, to insure his having a wide j selection, he promises: “SSO gold slug for best letter, S2O gold for next and $lO for third.” This business-like gent hails from Nevada. Few of the male advertisers seem to think they are exceptionally handsome. Or. if they do. they play safe by reserving that talking p.oint for the clinching argument later. Only one in twenty publishes his picture. Curiously enough, most of these lonesome males announce! that they are broad-minded, generous disposition, or “deepj thinker”—whatever that means. Is all this typical of the average man seeking a mate? Does it reveal the masculine qualities or traits that men think are most I enticing to the fair sex?

By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer NEW YORK. June 7.—The chief penalty of being a choir boy is this: He must smother playtime shouts and yells, even in baseball and football, and never raise his voice above a nice conversational pitch. But to offset such sad rules, there is this joy: Every one of these boys in knee pants is called Mister 1 . Seventy such boys have been turned into young cherubs by Father William J. Finn, director of the famous Paulist Choristers. They are models of deportment, scholarly in school, they actually like to practice their music lessons, and, they simply hate jazz. "And they aren't exceptional urchins either.” says Father Finn who has garnered these boys from Washington to Toronto and from Maine to California. The first solo boy in the choir this

year is Jack Huber, whose home is in California. ‘‘We had been on a tour,” says Father Finn. “As we were leaving Los Angeles a woman came to the train to say she had a boy she would like to see in the choir. This was Tom Huber. In a couple of years he was a soloist. Then his mother wrote she had another boy. This was Jack, and now Jack is soloist.” Why do these seventy regard “making the choir" as the greatest glory of their lives when the average small boy groans and whine* and dodges at the very mention of scales? “It is because they see the respect with which music is regarded by those about them," says Father Finn. "The daily music lesson is as important if not more so than the daily history or geometry lesson. And then, whether it be Bach cr Palestrina or Percy Grainger, I see, to It that worthy music is given them, not the trash which passes for music in so many homes.”
