PAGE SIX "The President Also Spoke" By DR. CHARLES STELZLE "Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a now nation. President Lincoln was beginning his address at the dedication of the Nati onal Cemetery at Gettysburg, but the crowd was so intent upon applauding and congratulating Edward Everett, the famous orator who had preceded him, that they missed the opening words of the speaker. The next day the newspapers pub lished long stories of the meeting, giv ing a commendatory report of Everett's address. But in most cases the newspaper accounts ended with the simple statement: "The President also spoke." Americans have little noted nor long remembered "what Everett said there. His "brilliant" sp«*ech has long since been forgotten, but it is al ready clear that the world will never forget what Lincoln did there. His less than three hundred words have become known as one of the world's greatest speeches. Between his opening statement that "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposi tion that all men are created equal," and his closing plea that "this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom: and that government of the people, by th«» people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth," he asked his audience to pledge them selves to a new dedication which would demonstrate that "these dead shall not have died in vain." He etched indelibly upon world his tory and literature as clear, as lucid, as understanding a statement of what Americans have lived and died for, as has ever been uttered. Back of Lincoln's speech, and his warrant for it, was nearly a century of history which tried men's souls and cost the lives of many thousands. In the face of the perils that now con front America, Lincoln's earnest plea persistently rings in our ears. "The President also spoke." And he is still speaking. A. F. L. Policy On (Continued from Page One) when American democracy is arming itself for self-preservation, produc tion of defense materials must be speeded rather than delayed. That is why we have voluntarily adopted this 'no strike* policy. "We feel that management has an equal responsibility in this connec tion and we appeal to American in dustry to employ with labor the peace ful processes of collective bargaining so that we can function in efficient teamwork for the successful comple tion of the defense program." Mr. Masterton said there i& no real shortage of workers in the building and construction field. Mr. McDonagh asserted that in the metal trades "th only labor shortages we have encoun tered are in two or three highly skill ed classifications" that they are being overcome by overtime, by raising the age limits and by training and re training programs. A plan to increase production for extending the work week in extraor dinary cases to seven days a weel was disclosed by the Metal Trade.1 Department's representative. Under this plan, to be employed "only in ex treme cases of emergency," every man on the job would work six days, fiv days at straight time and the sixth at overtime rates. The days off would be staggered so that each man would get one day of rest even though the plant operated at full blast seven days a week. N. Y. Labor Board Backs AFL One-Man Agreemen New York, N. Y.—The efforts of the CIO to organize building service employes here in opposition to unions affiliated with the American Federa tion of Labor received a setback when the State Labor Relations Hoard re fused to .vet aside a contract between Local 32-E of the Building Service Employes International Union, A. of L., and the 1403-05 Rosedale Ave nue Realty Corporation. The contract coveml only one em ploye, the janitor of the building, but the decision was interpreted as estab lishing an important precedent be cause of the CIO's attempt to takt over buildings that the A.

Select slightly green ones for baking. Peel, arrange in baking dish, brush with butter, salt, and sprinkle with brown sugar and bake until tender. To make omelets more fluffy use fresh eggs that have been allowed to warm to room temperature. A half cup of cracker crumbs soaked in cup of milk, and 1 tblspn. of butter will take the place of an extra egg or two in a four-egg omelet. Besides making your omelet go farther the rumbs give it body so that it is less likely to fall. A zestful ai^JLpv^cost roast is ac complished by trtfe addition of ripe olives. Form a pocket in a 3-lb. breast of veal and rub inside with salt, pep per and nutmeg. Make a dressing of cooked rice combined with 2/3 cup ripe olives, l'.a cup diced celery, '/a cup finely chopped onions, season and stuff and sew up. Place in kettle and boil slowly until meat is tender. Then brush with fat and bake in hot oven about 20 minutes.

Ind. LABOR FIRM FOR DEMOCRACY East St. Louis, 111.—The American I Federation of Labor, despite the actions of some anti-union employers, is not trying to take advantage of the nation's peril to obtain rights and privileges which workers have never enjoyed before, George Meany, A. F. of L. secretary-treasurer told the Trades and Labor Union here. "Al that we are asking," Meany said, "isI that these rights and privileges, which are the very essence of democracy for whose defense we are so rapidly and determinedly arming, shall not be set| aside now." DOUBLE WAGE STANDARD HIT| Washington, D. C.—The double wage standard—one set of rates for men and a lower set for women— was described as a "two-edged sword"! in a talk here by Mary Anderson, di rector of the Women's Bureau, U. S.| Labor Department. The double wage standard, she said, works an injustice to women and also cuts into the econ omic status of men in fields where the I two sexes are in competition for jobs.

They credit the 42 per cent reduction to a large degree to| the home inspection campaign. to see the beautiful pageant of fash ion ever unrolled. Beautiful John Powers' models pa raded these wearable, comfortable fashions before an audience that was highly appreciative of the importance of this style show. The clothes, all well chosen, are the type that will be seen in the North this coming spring and summer. No ultra-styling or show pieces", but neatness, chic and sophistication on every article, and at prices most moderate. Miami's sun, citrus fruit, sand, cli mate and Seminoles have been immor talized in song and story, and now they are immortalized in fabric de signs. "Sand in Your Shoes", "Semi nola" and "Garden of Eden" prints, along with flower-trimmed shoes, jun gle jewelry made from coconut buds and sponge lapel flowers were given a big play. "Sand in Your Shoes", a print showing a woman's hand taking sand from her shoes, is offered in nearly all pastel shades as a background. "Seminola", a print taken from the tribal dress of the Seminole Indians and "tamed" to such a degree that it will be among the popular dress prints. It is a delightfully barbaric printed fabric in colorful stripes and makes you look as slim as a totem pole, and as young as a papoose. It appears in blouses, skirts, dresses, slacks and ac cessories. New tropical colors presented for the first time are Sunshine yellow, (you'll see a lot of yellow this sum mer) "rendezvous", an exciting orange red poinsettia red American beauty, and "back-talk blue". American colors of red, white and blue were used in sport and dressy afternoon ensembles and were radi antly smart. Double-breasted sailor jackets of red and blue were an im portant contribution. Play clothes of cotton, jersey and corduroy were fashioned in bright and colorful prints. Slack suits were ex quisitely tailored or dressy and showed the Chinese influence, the nautical in fluence, and the new "dinner dress" look for 1941. Swim suits were smooth fitting and in new materials. Velvet lastex, new type jersey and silk velvet were in smart styles. A hula hula two piece swim suit drew the most ohs and ahs from the crowd—an honest to goodness hula skirt of cotton over printed panties with matching bra, A sea green jersey dinner dress achieved the effect of a hobble skirt by intridately draped panels. Black ehantilly lace, that "bare midriff look which is achieved by insets of flesh chiffon, mantillas, sequins, satins, crepes and n«ts added to the evening gown selection. A bridal procession with the Pow ers models the bride in white point d'esprit, and bridesmaids in variegat ed shades of orchid was a fitting cli max to the most brilliant collections of resort tropical wear ever to be pre sented in Miami. You'll hear from these fashions this coming spring and summer for they will set the style trend for the nation's wear this year.
