DO you believe that the corporations control our courts? Do you think that justice is only for the rich? I Then read Rupert Hughes' great story, 'Though the Sky Fair' in the April number of Hearst's Magazine. "There is a sanctity in the law itself" say the old authorities, "which assures that justice must be done though the sky fall" Is this merely outgrown sentiment or is it basic truth? Is justice today becoming a farce or will it always ultimately triumph because it is justice? If you arc an American man or woman who may some day need justice, you should not fail to read Rupert Hughes' answer to this great question.

WASHINGTON, .March 21. Mobilization of labor for government service in event of war with Germany was planned Wednesday at a conference of officials and labor leaders in the oiüce of Sec'y Wilson. Means were outlined and acreed upon for making readilv available

enough workmen to insure operation of government ship yards and arsenals and of plants working on government contracts. Officials, profiting by the experiences of England, are determined that if the country takes an active part in the European war. it shall not be embarrassed by labor troubles and inability to obtain skilled and unskilled workers. The American Federation of Lalxir, which has j.ledgeJ its memoership to the support of the government, was represented Wednesday by its president, Samuel (lompers. Through the federation the Rovernment expects to get it. supply of trained workmen. The I'nited Ftates

public employment service will furnish unskilled men and the civil service commission will supply clerical help. The post office department will advertise the country's needs. The council of national defense, of whose labor committee Mr. Oompers is chairman, also will co-op

erate. Icate Help Quickly. "The purposes of the conference.' said Sec'y Wilson, after the meeting, "were to lind ways and means to prevent overlapping of effort in mobilizing the resources of industries for the support of the government. We are planning to work together first to find where help, male and female, can be quicklj- located for the navy yards, arsenals and for other factories of the government, and for any private plants working on supplies for the government: second, to ascertain the fitness of any offered workers and where they are needed. In doing this we are working to avoid duplication of effort and to save time." In obtaining men for mechanical service the civil service commission. It is announced, will waive scholastic qualifications and will examine applicants for physical fitness and mechanical experience only. There will be no school examination and no technical test. "In reaching the country," Sec'y "Wilson said, "the whoje power of the local unions of the American Federation of Iabor will be availed of. Their officers and business agents have personal knowledge of the men and localities needing work and can speedily advise the working force. The post office department has agreed to transmit Information and aid by posting adverts Ing material also. "The civil service commission lias a force of 3,000 hoards of examiners and the country is divided for their purposes into 12 districts the whole available force in each of which can serve in examining men. The field forces of the bureaus of immigration, naturalization. labor statistics and children's bureau will be directed by the department of labor to work as temporary e5.?miners for the nonce with these regunr officials and will very largely increase the available force."

Ernst Becker, one of six Germans on trial here charged with plotting to destroy vessels leaving American ports with munitions for the entente allies, declared on the witness stand Wednesday that "Germans are accustomed to doing as they are told, not to asking questions." This answer was called forth after he had testified to having made parts which were used for bombs( but denied knowing for what the bombs were used. Becker, an electrician on board the German steamship Friederick Per Grosse, tied up at Hoboken, N. J., since the outbreak of the Kuropetan war, said he once had served in the German army. "Do you know what a bomb is?" Tecker was asked. "Sure" he replied, "it is one like a Zeppelin comes along and throws down." "We don't know anything about such things in this country," said the judire.

And now the beloved prima-donna has made a recording of "The Nightingale Song" that is the one most beautiful interpretation of which a record has ever been made.

Voice of Gold and Human Nightingale

You hardly know which to marvel at the more: the beautiful voice that deepens to a thrilling, gloriously tender tone in the phrase "Once Again!" the call to the nightingale to sing or at the response of the "nightingale" itself. Never such bird-notes from human source as come from the lips of little Miss Fagan! From low, sweet trilling to joyous burst of song, they have all the woodland beauty of the ecstatic bird-call that poets have sung about in every age. A Record You Will Love Whatever your taste in music may be, no matter how simple or highly critical, this record is almost sure to be your favorite. Whether for the sake of the exquisite voice or the phenomenally gifted little whistler whether "The Nightingale Song" appeals to you most or "Listen To The Mocking Bird,' on the other side you arc sure to lind this record a rare treat and delight. It is a record to play to your friends, to hear when vou are

alone in the twilight, to bring joy to the children to be the one record of which you'll never tire! Hear it today at your
