F. of L. believes that eight hours should be a maximum workday so that with a five and one half day week of 44 hours, the Sat urday half holiday would be a most desirable achievement. In cases where the work week can be reduce^ to less than 44 hours the A. F. of L. be lieves it would be of advantage to the worker to so have these hours dis tributed as to provide for a full Sat urday holiday, making the work week a five-day week, still with a maximum eight-hour day." ,gles' Temple Bunnell, 709 Vanderveer St. Earl p"ce, Post Office. tive cities throughout the country The survey was made by the United States department of labore i Q-—Who was Samuel PHmsoTI? A.—Plimsoll was a great English reformer, whose work in behalf of sailors earned him the name of "The Sailor's Friend." He secured legisla tion to prevent overloading of Brit ish ships, the limit of submergence be ing marked by a line painted on the side of the ships and known as Plim soil's mark. At the 1922 convention of the American Federation of Labor ,Samuel Gompers called the late Sen ator La Follette the "Plimsoll of America,'' because%of the senator's ef forts to protect the seamen of the United §|at?s ftom abqse $nd exploit ation. WL •'I i!r Q.—Are wages still advancing^ A.—Wages are still advancing throughout the "United States, al though gains in the past year have not been as great as some in previous years, according to a survey of union wage rates per hour in 40 representa V"~» *4 fv JU, .f, t^ m...William J.

Primarily in the in terests of the schools and of the com munity the A. F. of L. recommends that the executive council of the A F. of L. and all state and local central bodies give every assistance to the American Federation of Teachers in the improvement of the schools." 11 1 V .*#S Q.—Who is P. M. Draper—"Paddy," as his friends call him? A.—Secretary of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada for over 25 years and still going strong. "Paddy" has perhaps the unique distinction that the man who first nominated him for his office, A. Gariepy, business agent of the Montreal Cigar Makers, 25 years later again proposed him for the job, the whole congress seconding. STRIKE LEADER DIES Savannah, G^,—William T.

'v'Ss.y 108 North Third St The Cherry FWH Where with our I i 111 e Hatchet we tell the truth about many things, sometimes pro foundly, sometimes flippantly, sometimes recklessly Joe Cook, thought by a great many persons to be the cleverest comedian in America, is-in reality a most con servative man. He goes on the stage with the complete confidence of the audience. The audience invariably be lieves Joe Cook is capable of doing anything. And yet, with this tremen dous asset, Joe positively and at each performance refuses to imitate four Hawaiians. Those "out in front" are firmly con vinced that Joe can imitate four Hawaiians, or a half dozen Hawaiians, for that matter. They would even grant that he could imitate four Zulus or a dozen snickering Senegambians. But Joe holds back. He refuses to do that which he believes he can not do, no matter how much confidence in his ability others may have. */. Joe Cook ^ust fools around the stage and stands pat on his refusal to imitate four Hawaiians. He pro claims his intention to tell his audi ences why he won't imitate four Ha waiians and then he just fools around some more and keeps everybody good natured and pretty soon everybody is laughing so much that nobody cares why Joe won't imitate four Hawaiians and anyhow they'd rather he'd just keep on being Joe Cook. Now it's mighty fine to have one man like that in America. It's mighty fine to have, one man who just pre fers to be himself, even if he doesn't tell the reason. There are so many who are perfect' ly willing to be somebody else, with out any reason. All over this broad land—it's gen erally conceded to be broad, even though it does contain a lot of nar rowness—there are folks who insist on being somebody else. There are folks who insist on being ari Authority, The Last Word, Expert Counsel, Qualified Critic, Prophet of Everything for Everybody. There are so many folks who know just what is the very best book, who know just what is good music, who know just what is right in politics, .who know all about labor and capital, who know the Only Formula for everything and who are somehow en dowed with all knowledge. How, they got Xhat w&jf jaobody knows. "S. V Joe Cook isn't like that. He won't tell why he won't imitate what he isn't—and the others Won't tell why they do. There isn't much point to all this, perhaps, except that a little simplicity and a lot of honesty can be SO re-, freshing now and then. Perhaps that's because in this com plicated world there's so little of it and so much of complicated bluff that we get to feel that the bluff is nor mal—as in the same way we forget what fresh air is like after being long in & stuffy room. But there's something mighty real and true to inner nature in the fool ishness of a man who just lets him self bubble along without throwing any bluff at all about anything. FRENCH FEAR FASCIST! Paris, France.—The increase of Fascisti alarms French statesmen^ and repressive measures are propos* ed. A pending bill would prohibit illegal gathering of Fascisti and the storing by them,of arms'and ammuni tion. v It is charged that French monar chists, who hope for a restoration of their govsrnmental system, are not unfriendly to the latest form of auto cracy.

CsNews In the automobile industry plant* are averaging 97 per cent of full time operation this year. At this period last year they averaged only 86 par cent of full time. Automobile plants generally are having a record produc tion for this time of the year.

Operations which would equal 100 per cent of full time in any industry.... would be rather unusual. Even with a heavy demand, factory operations have to be curtailed at times for re pairs to plant, etc. NATIONAL RIGHTS DEMANDED BY CHINA Buffalo, N. Y.—Complete sove|» eignty of China and the stabilization of Europe are the two great world problems, said Dr. Sao-Ke Alfred Zze, Chinese minister to the UniteSi States, in an address to local churclt? men. rr China must regain her sovereignty** said Mr. Sze, who called for an end of the practice by the great powers to enforce their own laws in China. "The powers must appreciate that so long as they insist upon exercising extraterritorial rights in China thqy can not hope to avoid an irritation up on the part of the Chinese peop}e which will tend to render difficult, if for does not prevent, the maintenance df cordial and reciprocally beneficial ref lations, commercial and otherwise, be-v tween themselves and the government* of China," said Mr. Sze.
