Mr. Me' Jinn. n next l-'ridriy nU'ht It. W. A. I'olr, C. S. ('., head e.f the i- iobty department of the univerrdty, will sp :ik on "Fundamental I'rinejpb-s of Soeioloiv". The sieakT Wednesday niht held that the maladjustment of our economic system was the cau.-e of much of our poverty and that the- prevention of poverty demanded .social intervention.-. He .-aid in part: "The abolition of all needles.-? poverty is the- aim of modern philanthropy and social reform. In fairly prosperous years, millions of men enacd In gainful occupations are forced to live in poverty. Investigations by Hunter in the Fnited States and by Uooth and Rountree in Fnland have liscfvered from J". to 30 per cent of vai;e earners living in conditions that unfit them as members of society. One-half the working class children are, during some part of their first 14 years, brought up under conditions that are not sullieient to maintain decent living. IVpIt I'ort-ctl Into I)Mitutiii. "Temporary sickness, lack of employment anil accident force these people over the line of poverty into the class we designate as the destitute. Sixty per cent of males, 1, years of age and over, are earning less than a year while the minimum for a decent standard of living is between 5 70 and S00 a .year. When we consider the wage earnings of the majority of workers wc arc not surprised to find many of them forced into the destitute class by sickness, accident, etc. "Poverty is to a great extent a phase of the "wage question. I,et us therefoic regulate wages. This can be accomplished in two ways, organization of labor with collective bargaining and by wage legislation. "Wage systems are sound. There is nothing essential In modern wage determination to prevent toilers from getting an economically sutTicient wage, laborers in the past have been forced, to bargain for work under unfavorable conditions. The necessity of concerted actions on the part of the laborer is recognized by all students of economic: distinction. Idonls of Organization. "The Ideal of organized labor Is to combine in one organization all men employed or capable of being cmployed in a given industry and to secure for each and all of them a definite standard of wages, hours, conditions of work, etc. The assumption upon which organized labor is based is that the natural laws of supply and demand does not insure such wages, etc. As one labor leader expressed it: 'The natural laws of supply and demand have unsexed men and women and has made the child the father of the man and his bread winner.' "Those who can't organize, should be protected by minimum wav laws. A workingmen's compensation law would do away with much of the poverty due to accident. There Is annually 30,000 fatal accidents in industrial commonwealth. An industry in which a man is injured should care for him. "Compensation laws should bo based upon the principle that the wear and tear of the human machine is just as much a factor in the cost of production: as is the wear and tear of machinery."

Men Who Chew Are Men Who DO

THE men of the navy who draw a defensive line of steel" along our coasts have ever, in peace and war, found enjoyment in tobacco.

the best "navy" plug, STAR Chewing 1 obacco, appeals alike to the and the officer.

And STAR is a capital G-O-O-D tobacco, fat with extra long, chewing leaf of the mellowest variety, with a taste that lasts. In each thick STAR plug there are 16 full, chewable ounces.

A pure food commission and a board of weights and measures couldn't improve on STAR'S unvarying standard of honest weight, quality and absolute cleanliness of preparation.

Here's what American men think of STAR:
