Garment Workers' Union, died in Col
orado Springs, Colo., on June 6 at
the age of 55. He reached Colorado
Springs three days before his death
to undergo treatment for tuberculosis

union met the body at Chicago and
escorted it to New York. Addresses
were delivered at the funeral by
many labor leaders, including Presi

Federation of Labor, and David Du
binsky and Salvatore Ninfo, secre
tary-treasurer and vice president, re
spectively, of the union.
Born in Lithuania, December 26,
1876, Mr. Schlesinger came to the
United States when 15 and went to
work as a machine operator on cloak
and suits. In a few years his energies
in organizing the workers in this in
dustry were rewarded by a position
in the union and, except for some ex
perience in the newspaper publishing
field, he remained until the end of his
life an active union officer.

Not So Clever
A
young lawyer was defending a
man accused of house breaking.
"Your honor, I submit that my cli
ent did not break into the house at
all He found the parlor window open,
inserted his arm and removed a few
trifling articles. Now, my client's
arm is not himself, and I fail to see
how you can punish him for an offense
committed only by one of his arms."
"That argument," said the judge,
"is very well put. Following it logic
ally, I sentence the defendant's arm
to one year's imprisonment. He can
accompany it or not, just as he
chooses."
The prisoner calmly unscrewed his
cork arm and, leaving it on the table,
walked out.

Charges Navy Bands Keep
Work from Idle Musicians
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Ap
pearing before the Shannon commit
tee of the house investigating gov
ernment competition with private
business, Samuel T. Ansell, represent
ing the American Federation of Mu
sicians, charged that navy bands are
allowed to play at private affairs,
while thousands of musicians walk
the streets in a vain search for work
Ansell declared that the navy de
partment is "consistently disregard
ing" a 20-y^ar-old law prohibiting
such appearances.
"The secretary of the navy also
fails to pay any attention to our com
munications concerning the matter,"
Ansell said.
He said the 145 service bands of
the army and navy often appeared at
semi-private functions "at the re
quest of some prominent civilians who
ought to pay for the performance out
of their own pockets."

Japanese Customs Odd
to Visiting Westerners
At the door of a theater or a restau
rant the Japanese hand the attendant
their shoes instead of their hats. At a
dinner the sweets, if they come at
all, are served early in the meal in
stead of toward the end. Acting in
the theater Is modeled not on life,
but on the movements of dolls in
marionette shows, and in the classic
"No" drama the possibility of show
ing emotion by facial expression is
eliminated by the use of carved wood
en masks.
And, where the people have not
been "civilized" out of their natural
Courtesy, a chauffeur will refuse to
pass another on the road—from mo
tives of politeness. To us the Japa
nese method of beckoning would slg
nlfy "go away." Boats are beached
Stern foremost horses are backed in
to their stalls, sawing and planing are
done with a pulling motion keys are
turned in their locks in a reverse di
rection from that which is customary
with us.
Old English Church of
Interest to Americans
Southwark cathedral, one of Lon

doners as the "Church in the Hole,"
is falling into decay, says an article in
the Montreal Family Herald. Shake

there. His brother, Edmund, is buried
In the church. John Harvard, whose
donations founded Harvard university,
was baptized there In 1007. Some
years ago the alumni of Harvard re
built one of the chapels. Southwark
cathedral ig the only English church
In which a Fourth of July celebration
ever was held. This took place some
years ago. Shakespeare and his con
temporaries used to come over to
Southwark to see their plays pro
duced. They often lodged In South
wark and attended the cathedral serv
ices. In recognition of these visits,
there Is now a memorial window to
the famous Elizabethan dramatist in
the cathedral.
Washington's Supremacy
Many estimates of George Washing
ton's character have been written, but
perhaps none is more Interesting than
that of the historian George Bancroft,
who summarized the great first Presi
dent as follows: "His faculties were
so well balanced and combined that
his constitution, free from excess, was
tempered evenly with all the elements
of activity and his mind resembled a
well-organized commonwealth his pas
sions, which had the lntensest vigor,
owned allegiance to reason and with
all the flery quickness of his spirit, his
impetuous and massive will was held
in check by consummate judgment. He
had in his composition a calm which
gave hira In moments of highest ex
citement the power of self-control and
enabled him to excel In patience, even
when he had most cause for disgust."
SELL PURE PAINTS
V'
Nothing N«w
There just isn't anything new. We
go Into ecstasies about a lovely new
perfume. We go shopping and lay in a
supply Of bath towels of the most
modern sort—rough, soft, perhaps de
signed in angles and straight lines.
We think we are most modern. Then
we read of excavations of a tomb 4000
years old in Egypt which have brought
forth the most attractive perfume
bottles once filled with the most allur
ing scents and bath towels woven
in plain and zigzag stripes, some
times hemmed along the edges, with
little knots throughout their weaving
to make them rough like our modern
Turkish towels.
Spelling Not Paramount
Gen. Zachary Taylor, who became
President largely because his victory
over General Santa Anna at the bat
tle of Buena Vista turned the Mexican
war to the triumph of the United
States, was not a good speller. He
wrote an account of the battle In
which he left the a out of reach, and
used very long sentences, on# of which
was eighty-seven type lines. He is
accused of grammatical errors also,
which are not surprising In a sen
tence more than 500 words long. But
one may excuse that in a general who
with 5,400 untrained men whipped 20,
000 fresh troops.
Early American Furniftnre
The furniture made In America dur
ing the Hepplewhlte and Sheraton pe
riods compares very favorably with
English pieces of the.se periods. While
jacking on the one hand the greater
sophistication of the pieces made for
the nobility and wealthier classes in
England, It seldom shows the crudity
of English provincial furniture, and
there is often a nice balance and a
delicacy of line and proportion that
made these pieces most attractive.
The best furniture of this type seems
to have been made in New England,

ARIZONA WETS
MOVE ONDRY LAW
Tucson, Ariz. (ILN S)—Petitions to
place the repeal of the Arizona dry
law amendment to the constitution on
the ballot next November are being
circulated throughout the state. The
Arizona dry law has been an amend
ment to the state constitution since
the election of November 7, 1916.
According to reports coming from
Tucson and Phoenix a sufficient num
ber of names wll easily be obtained
to place the repeal up to the voters.
About 13,500 signers are necessary
to put this question on the ballot.
A counter action to the repeal move
has been started in Tucson, where
some 650 voters have formed a group
which intends to fight the repeal of
the amendment.
Sentiment, however, is fast rising,
and if the way the people are sign
ing the petitions is any criterion, there
is little doubt but that the dry law
will be repealed by a good majoriy.

ity legislation to make it vital and
effective.
Liberalize the Retirement Act
The retirement law for employes in
the classified service of the govern
ment should be liberalized to an ex
tent that will permit them after long
years of service to live in reasonable
comfort.
Amendment to Volstead Act
We strongly urge that you incor
porate in your platform a declaration
in favor of the amendment of the
Volstead act so as to provide for the
manufacture and sale of beer con
taining 2.75 per cent alcohol by
weight.
Home Owning and Home Building
We urge you to declare in favor of
legislation desired to stimulate, en
courage and assist in home building.
We urge that a fund similar to the
fund administered by the Reconstruc
tion Corporation be created for the
purpose of extending credit through
authorized channels to home owners
who are threatened with the loss of
homes partly paid for, during periods
of distress and of unemployment.
Maintain Estate Tax
The workers of our nation favor
graduated income, estate and inheri
tance taxes, and vigorously oppose
the sales tax and all other tax legis-.
lation which would operate to place
the burden of taxation upon those
least able to bear it. We hold that
the perpetuation of large fortunes
through the creation of trusts and
through gift transmission is inimical
to public welfare and should be dealt.
with in the same manner as estates
subject to inheritance taxes.
