EXTRA FINE WOVEN MADRAS IN ALL FAVORED
- NEW SPRING SHADES
In America we do not like to see unutilized raw material lying
around. Everything must be transformed into articles of useful-
ness. Business men riding through forests and canyons and des-
erts dream of transforming the wilderness into chimney stacks,
brownstone fronts, agricultural communities and industrial centers.
Teachers, inventors and scientists go along with commerce to show
how the work must be done.
But when men have erected their schools, their factories and
their homes they have only just begun their tasks. The greater
work lies in developing the great unexplorel and unplumbed depths
within themselves. Development of national character and of all
spiritual forces within us is of first importance.
Religious bodies have felt for some time that the power of lay-
men has not been exerting itself in proportion to its potential abil-
ity. And we find attempts being made to organize and awaken men
to activity in other lines besides those of material advantage. The
problem of the churches is not that men are essentially and inher-
ently indifferent to idealism. The problem is to find a point of con-
tact with men so that all their fine and noble, impulses can be gath-
ered into the united voice of the various churches.
There are differences of creed. But few persons in America
refuse to believe in honesty, generosity, kindness, justice, peace and
the righteousness that exalts both the individual and the nation. If
there were some way to enlist the best aspirations of the American
people, if it were possible to gather the nation at an inspiring ser-
vice each week where all would be rededicated to his ideals, who
could measure the spiritual power that this nation would yield?
Idealism has led men and nations to the principle of greatness.
If there is anything that America must be warned against today it
is the tendency to disregard the ideals that have borne us so swiftly
to success. As during the war the nation’s idealism was focused on
It ought to be mobilized in the interest of national and international
an objective, so now in peace that idealism should find a purpose,
good will. It should be the force—the moral force speaking in
every city and village—to stir mankind from selfishness and despair.

A bad reputation sticks closer to a man than his shadow, for
the darker his day the plainer it shows.
It is all right to say exactly what you think if you have first
given thought to what you are going to say.
It is strange what atrocious taste one’s neighbors always dis-
play in their choice of phonograph records.

EASTER FASHIONS
With Easter with but two short weeks away, a fresh
new interest is felt in out-of-doors—in living—in
clothes.
Eiband's big store reflects that enthusiasm'. Here
are modes- that express the gladness of Easte tide as
well as the newest fashions.

“Better and For Less”
atSida^d^
Frank A. Munsey says he is going to erect a skyscraper that
will be twice as high as the tallest building now on earth.
Munsey is the editor and owner of a chain of skyscrapers and
magazine. At a dinner to his employes recently, he said:
“I am glad to be here. To most of you, I am an employer, the
man who issues orders from upstairs. It is true that I have many
duties and responsibilities that keep me physically remotfrom your
scene of labors. But let me tell you a secret. I would give all of
them and all the tangible things for which they stand if I had what
many of you have—a family. You will live again in those children.
Your life will go on.
“The blessings of a wife and children a too-strenuous existence
has denied me. I shall live on in a different way. On the site of
this building we now occupy I intend to erect the tallest building
now within the scope of man’s imagination and his power to ac-
.. complish. I will build a structure of eighty-seven stories. As you
will live on in your childien, so I, though dead, shall live on in that
building.”
The skyscraper will - e on the corner of Broadway and Cham-
bers streets, and work on its erection will begin next year.
THE UNION LABEL.
cry the union label as a factor of the dead past, says the Loyalty
Press. They claim that label agitation is seed sown on unfertile
soil and that the harvest is not worth the cost of seed and cultiva-
tion. The facts are that the ground is still fertile and every element
necessary for fruitful production continues to function but the sow-
ers of the seed have depleted the quantity sown to such an extent
that the sparsely scattered stalks that come to. life from the meager
‘ seed sown are not able to co-ordinate properly and ofttimes die mis-
erably from lack of cultivation and attention.
The Union Label lives and is still a factor in organization. It
can be used today to the same advantage it has been used in the
past. The necessities for it are ever presentand the same propagan-
da that was successfully used in the past will meet the necessities
of yesterday and the day before.
Labor is, after all, the employer of labor. Each of us in our
capacity as a purchaser of the necessities of life becomes an em-
ployer of labor. Organized labor alone receives aproximately $5,-
000,000,000.00 annually in wages and spends the greater part of it
for the things that labor has produced. The only reason this enor-
mouse buying power does not dominate the market is because it
does not do its duty collectively as an employer. It refuses to buy
from itself. Why? Largely because we have neglected the possi-
bilities of the union label as a guide in our purchasing. We have
listened too closely to the chap who, unconsciously perhaps, has
boosted the non-union employer by purchasing non-union goods and
who has continually croaked “Label agitation is a dead issue.”
When we hire a union carpenter he is able to identify himself.
He can show by the proper credentials, his union card, that in hir-
ing him we purchase union labor. Not so if we purchase a union
cigar or a union hat. Manufactured articles are not able to identify
themselves. They must have some mark of identification to distin-
guish as between the union made and the non-union made. Such
identification is provided in the union label. Education coupled
with persistent, constant, label agitation causes the demand for la-
bel good which means that organized labor becomes the employer
of organized rather than unorganized labor.
The power of the union label is alive, pulsating with energy and
it needs only our word of demand to make it a giant in the ranks
of organization.
these, the first has been conquered so completely that 20,000 per-
sons in a single building may enjoy tropic warmth all through the
bitterest winter weather. Hunger need cause no more terror, for a
balance between the world’s population and its food supplies is well
within the present powers of science. Pestilence is going fast;
within a gentration most of the dangerous diseases have been con-
quered. Only a few' days ago Dr. Simon Flexner, head of the fam-
ous Rockefeller Institute, announced the isolation of the influenza
germ, so" that control of this scourge which cost more than a quar-
ter of a million American lives in 1918 should soon be possible.
Cold has been conquered, yet a multitude of people have es-
caped freezing to death this winter only by the narrowest margin.
Though hunger has been conquered, millions of Russians have suf-
fered in the last year and hundreds of thousands may still die of
famine. Pestilence has been conquered, but typhus, cholera and
other epidemic terrors threaten the whole eastern shore of the Med-
iterranean and are sweeping into Poland from ravaged Russia.
Scientifically, these things are unnecessary; they follow logically
upon man’s inability to control his last, worst enemy—himself. As
long as we have not enough collective intelligence to prevent war,
all the progress of science in stamping out our other enemies must
avail us little.
In 1913 must of us would have laughed at the assertion that
unbridled human passion might result, if not in the destruction of
the race itself, at least in the overthrow of all that is most precious
in our civilization. Today plenty of men soberly believe that such
a thing is quite possible. Science has shown us a path, but we are
not yet strong enough to follow it.-

WHAT REALLY COUNTS.
“It is not a question of how long one lives, but rather how
much,” says a contemporary.
All right, but what is meant by living “much?”
If a man attains wealths, has he lived much?
If a man attains fame, has he lived much ?
If a man attains high office, has he lived much?
If a man write a worthless best-seller book, has he lived much.
If a man races through life at a nerve-racking pace, has he lived
If a man tastes all the different varieties of vice, has he lived
much? —rielmdemiiai
These are the questions that occur to many men when told
that it is better to live much than to live long.
As if short life and much life were synonymous? A short-lived
man or woman may have live much; and, on the othei hand, may
have lived little. Likewise, a long life may be a useful life, /or it
may be a useless life. _
To live the right kind of a life, to live much, does not usually
tend to shorten life. Rather, it conduces to long life. For the right
kind of a life is usually lived in poise, not in flurry, and poise tends
to cause longevity. 4 .
It issnot a question of how much poise and rush one indulges
in, 'but' rather how much good one does. .
If a man drives tumultously through life, doing multitudinous
things that are not worth doing—and all for selfish purposes—his
life is a failure, and he has lived little, no matter how few or many
his years may be. .
If one dedicates himself to the good of humanity, and pursues
his unselfish course with eyes always on that goal, his life as a suc-
cess, no matter whether it be short or long.
