T SING the song of the workman*
A The joy of the man whose hand
Leaps to fullfil with practiced skill
The keen, sure brain's demand;
ho knows the thrill of creation,
t'H/1 Who stands with the Lord as one—
ees what was wrought from hidden thoughts,
And can say ot his work, “Well done!”
THERS may seek for rank and wealth,
And search the wide world through—
e knows the deep where grand thoughts sleep,
Which Tubal Cain once knew; 'jj
Beauty may lie in a woman’s eye, / .'I! *
And dwell on her lips so sweet
It lives as well in the engine’s swell.
And the piston’s throbbing beat.^ ji j jlj j
r i
!J
COME must lie soft and feed daintily,
Or the soul in them makes moan;
But little he heeds who finds his needs
In the maker's joy alone.
Sorrow and pain may come to him
They surely come to all-
But ever he feels a strength that steels
His heart to the shafts that fall.
T_JE gladly greets the coming years
They bring him added skill;
He feels no ruth for loss of youth,
His goal is nearer still;
And only this he asks of fate;
That he may keep his dower sfl
f strength, and will, and labor’s skill
Unto his life’s last hour.
MAKES DEMAND FOR
LIFE AND FREEDOM
Gompers* Message a Decla-
ration of Independence.
What union
declaration of
L. G. Griffinfl,
Head of Locomo-
tive Engineers.
officials call “labor’s
independence,” was
given out by Sam-
uel Gompers,
president of the
[ American Feder-
al ation of Labor,
|| last year.
Is The declaration
asked that the
“highest Ideals of
our labor move-
ment and the re-
quirement of our
people for com-
plete fullness of
life in all things”
be kept constant-
ly before “the
“masses of our people.”
“The labor movement of America,”
read the declaration, “demands for
all of our people the full benefit'of
the life-giving forces of our marvel-
ous civilization through constantly in-
creasing wages and Improvement of
working conditions and through a
reasonable and proper reduction in
the hours of work.
“The labor movement of America
demands for the wage earners, for all
who serve usefully in any capacity,
a sound and Just economic basis for
life and freedom in the fullest mean-
ing of those terms.
“The labor movement of America
has ever had high regard for the de-
velopment of ethical and the spiritual
in life.”
Economic justice was asked for be-
cause “all freedom and all the higher
developments of life rest upon first
providing assurance of the essentials
of existence.” The federation, by the
declaration, asks for economic im-
provement with unrelenting zeal and
fidelity “because economic improve-
ment Is the first fundamental req-
uisite.”
’ “We ask that Labor day, the great
holiday of the toiling masses, dedicat-
ed to them and their cause, be en-
nobled and enriched by an expression
of the same spirit, the same v high
idealism and purpose, the same up-
lifting search for the fullness of life
and' the same determination to achieve
triumph over all ills and wrongs
through its purely economic opera-
tions.”
Labor Is the Giant
No group in this or any other coun-
try made a greater contribution
toward winning the World war—in
shipbuilding and munition, plants, on
the farm, and on the firing line—than
labor.
• #
The world will never know the debt
it owes to the wives and mothers in
workingmen’s homes who have given
husbands and sons to the cause.
WOMEN ENTER INTO
NEW LABOR FIELD'S
Few Avenues of Occupation
Now Closed to Them.
Within forty-one years, if women
continue to desert the ranks of domes-
tic service, there will be virtually no
domestic employees at' all, according
to a prophecy made in an analysis of
statistics relating to employed wom-
en In Pennsylvania, just completed by
the Consumers’ league.
Since 1910 more than 41,000 women
have left domestic service to try their
wings in other fields of endeavor, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The spirit of adventure into new
fields for women is asserting itself
noticeably, according to the survey.
Women are becoming stonemasons,
bricklayers, boatwomen, mail carriers,
pawnbrokers, stevedores, cobblers,
shoemakers, coal operators and the-
atrical managers and owners.
One out of every five women in
Pennsylvania is employed. In the
clerical fields there are 33,800 more
women, an increase of 111 per cent.
Women are also entering the commer-
cial world as chemists, metallurgists,
assayers and barbers.
In 1910 one lone woman stevedore
was recorded. In 1920 there were five
woman boatmen, three woman long-
shoremen and stevedores and one sail-
or. The World war introduced the
woman chauffeur. In the year 1920
70 woman chauffeurs offset only three
such adventurous souls in 1910. Two
women were carriage drivers in 1920
and 16 were garage keepers.
Increase is found in the number of
women employed by railroads as
switchmen, flagmen, ticket and station
agents. Women mail carriers In-
creased in ten years from 69 to 99.
Woman telephone operators jn-
creased 115 per cent. More than 14,-
901 women earn their livelihood at
switchboards throughout the state.
There are 130 woman telegraph oper-
ators and 46 women are telegraph
messengers. In 1920 there were 18,-
444 more saleswomen than in 1910.
Woman retail dealers showed an In-
crease in the ten-year period; 3,000
women have grocery stores, 1,200
candy stores and 800 dry'goods; 296
have drug stores, 271 clothing, 326
department stores and 438 cigar and
tobacco stores.
Woman decorators and window
dressers trebled In ten years, while
woman real estate agents Increased
249 per cent. The largest group of
women in public service includes 521
postmistresses. Woman detectives
have increased 131 per cent. There
were five woman sheriffs In 1920.
School teachers numbered 45,904 in
1920, an increase of 11,280 over 1910.
Woman college professors increased
189 per cent; In 1920 there were 502
in Pennsylvania colleges. Trained
nurses numbered 12,902 in 1920,
against 7,342 in 1910.

CAPTAINS OF
ADVENTURE

FRANCIS DRAKE
A. D. 1573
The Judith had escaped from San
Juan d’Ullua and her master, Francis
Drake, of Devon, was now a bitter
vengeful adversary, from that time
onward living to be the scourge of
Spain. Four years he raided, plun-
dered, burned along the Spanish main,
until the name Drake was changed to
Dragon in the language of the dons.
Then In 1573 he sailed from Plym-
outh with five little ships to carry fire
and sword into the South Seas, where
the flag of England had never been
before. When he had captured some
ships near the Cape de Verde islands,
he was fifty-four days in unknown
waters before he sighted the Brazils,
then after a long time came to Magel-
lan’s straits, where he put in to refresh
his men. One of the captains had been
unfaithful and was now tried by a
court-martial, which found him guilty
of mutiny and treason against the ad-
miral. Drake offered him a ship to
return to England and throw himself
on the queen’s mercy, or he might
land and take his chance among the
savages, or he could have his death,
and carry his case to the Almighty.
The prisoner would not rob the expedi-
tion of a ship, nor would he consort
with the degraded tribes of that wild
Land of Fire, but asked that he might
die at the hands of his countrymen
becaTise of the wrong he had done
them. So the date was set for his ex-
ecution, when all the officers received
the holy 'Communion, the prisoner
kneeling beside the admiral. After
that they dined together for the last
time, and when they had risen from
table, shook hands at parting, the one
to his death, the others to their voy-
age. May England ever breed such
gentlemen 1
The squadron had barely got clear
of the straits and gained the Pacific
ocean, when bad weather scattered all
the ships. Drake went on alone, and
Sir Frances Drake.
on the coast of Chill, met with an In-
dian In a canoe, who ,had news of
a galleon at Santiago, laden with gold
from Peru. The Spaniards were not at
all prepared for birds of Drake’s feath-
er on the South Seas, so that when he
dropped in at Santiago they were
equally surprised and annoyed.
The galleon’s crew were ashore save
for six Spaniards and three negroes,
so bored with themselves that they
welcomed the visitors by beating a
drum and setting out Chilian wine.
But when Master Moon arrived on
board with a boat’s crew, he laid about
him outrageously with a large sword,
saying, “Down, dog!” to each discom-
fited Spaniard, until they fled for the
hold. Only one leaped overboard, who
warned the town, whereat the people
escaped to the bush, leaving the visi-
tors to enjoy themselves. The cargo
of gold and wine must have been
worth fifty thousand pounds, while
Santiago yielded a deal of good cheer
besides, Master Fletcher, the parson,
getting for his “spoyle” a silver chal-
ice, two cruets and an altar cloth.
Greatly refreshed, the English went
on northward, carefully inspecting the
coast. At one place a sleeping Span-
iard was found on the beach with thir-
teen bars of silver. “We took the sil-
ver and left the man.” Another place
yielded a pack-train of llamas, the
local beast of burden, with leather
wallets containing eight hundred
pounds’ weight of silver. Three small
barks were searched next, one of them
being laden with silver; then twelve
ships at anchor, which were cut adrift
and a bark with eighty pounds’ weight
of gold. But best of all was the gal-
leon Cacafuego, overtaken at sea, and
disabled at the third shot, which
brought down her mizzenmast. Her
cargo consisted of “great riches, as
jewels and precious stones, thirteen
chests full of royals of plate, four
score pounds weight of golde, and six
and twentle tunne of silver.” The
pilot being the possessor of two nice
silver cups, had to give one to Master
Drake, and the other to the steward,
“because hee could not otherwise
chuse.”
Every town, every ship, was rifled
along that coast. There was neither
fighting nor killing, but much polite-
ness, until at last the ship had a full
cargo of silver, gold and gems, with
which she reached England, having
made a voyage round the world. When
Queen Elizabeth dined in state on
board Drake’s ship at Greenwich, she
struck him with a sword and dubbed
him kniglit. Of course he must have
armorial bearings now, but when he
adopted the three wiverns—black fowl
of sorts—of ’the Drake family, there
were angry protests against his in-
solence. So the queen made him a
coat-of-arms, a terrestrial globe, and
a ship thereon led with a string by a
hand that reached out of a cloud, and
in the rigging of the said ship, a wiv-
ern hanged by the neck.
It was Parson Fletcher who wrote
the story of that Illustrious voyage,
but he does not say how he himself
fell afterward from grace, being sol-
emnly consigned by Drake to the
“devil and all his angells,” threatened
with a hanging at the yard-arm, and
made to bear a posy on his breast with
these frank words, “Francis Fletcher,
ye falsest knave that liveth.”
Drake always kept his chaplain, and
dined “alone with musick,” did all his
public actions with large piety and
gallant Courtesy, while he led Eng-
lish fleets on insolent piracies against
the Spaniards.
From his next voyage he returned
leaving the Indies in flames, loaded
with plunder, and smoking the new
herb tobacco to the amazement of his
countrymen.
Philip II was preparing a vast arma-
da against England, when Drake ap-
peared with thirty sail on the Span-
ish coast, destroyed a hundred ships,
swept like a hurricane from port to
port, took a galleon laden with treasure
off the western islands, and returned
to Plymouth with his enormous plun-
der.
Next year Drake was vice admiral
to Lord Howard in the destruction of
the Spanish armada.
In 1589 he led a fleet to deliver
Portugal from the Spaniards, wherein
he failed.
Then came his last voyage in com-
pany with his first commander, Sir
John Hawkins. Once more the West
Indies felt the awful weight of his
arm, but now there were varying for-
tunes of defeat, of reprisals, and at
the end, pestilence, which struck the
fleet at Nornbre de Dios, and felled this
mighty seaman. His body was com-
mitted to the sea, his memory to the
hearts of all adventurous men.
“Scandalous” Applies to
Everything in This Town
Ours is a scandalous village, says L.
F. Ramsey In the London Mail. Oh, I
don’t mean what you mean by “scan-
dalous.” In that respect our village is
probably no better and no worse than
any other village, including the little
village of London. By “scandalous” I
mean a variety of things denoted by
the natives when they employ the
word.
The thatcher told us our cottage was
scandalous, because it had so many
gables. The ditcher said the brook
was ^andalous because it was so full
of water. The baby’s hair is scandal-
ous because it will keep on curling in
spite of repeated cuttings, though it is
time he looked like a boy.
One of our most respected old in-
habitants is known as “Old Scandal-
ous,” in spite of a blameless life and
a popularity that extends from one
end of the village to the other. His
cheery voice is heard greeting the
dawn while younger men are still be-
ing urged to rise from their beds, and
his figure sprints down the road at a
rate to be envied by some only half
his age. If be knows how he came
by the nickname he cannot be induced
to tell.
If you want to know the original
meaning of a word you can generally
find it In the dialect of a district.
Through centuries the meaning re-
mains unchanged. Thus a “scandal”
was originally a trap for catching wild
animals. It Is easy to see bow the
adjective, as used In our village, is
appropriate.
The gables of our cottage are scan-
dalous because they are traps for the
inexpert thatcher. The overflowing
brook is full of traps for the unwary.
The baby’s curls provide a trap for
the comb, as the wallings proceeding
from the cottage at hairdressing time
testify. As to “Old Scandalous,” a
mischievous boy, fond of playing
tricks on people, would easily acquire
that name.
And the village? Why Is that scan-
dalous? Ask any motorist who has
ever visited it for the first time. Our
main road through the rrillage has the
appearance of going on forever. But
is doesn’t. It comes to a sudden end
not very far from my gate.
Slightly Different
“Hello! Hello! Is that you, Mac?”
“Aye.” '
“Is this Mac McPherson I’m talking
to?”
“Aye; spe’kin’.”
“Well, Mac, it’s like this: I want to
borrow $50—”
“All right. I’ll tell him as soon as
he comes in.”
AFRAID SHE
COULD NOT LIVE
Operation Advised, But Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Made It Unnecessary
Glasgow, Kentucky. — “I was run-/ '
down, nervous, with no appetite.
[side had given me
trouble for five or
six years. At times
it was all I could do
to live, and the doc-
tor said I couldn’t
live but a short time
longer without an
operation. That was
two years ago. My
sister-in-law recom-
mended Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta -
ble Compound. She
had never used it herself, but she said
one of her neighbors suffered just like
I did, and it cured her. After I had
taken four bottles the pain left my side.
I had a fine appetite to eat anything
that was put before me, and I began to
do all ray work and my washing, some-
thing I hadn't done for years. I am a
dressmaker, and this last fall I began
suffering with my side again, so I began
taking the Vegetable Compound again.
I am on my fourth bottle, which makes
eight in all I have taken. I feel so much
better when I take it and everybody
tells me I look better. My appetite
improves and I feel stronger in every
way. I am a very nervous woman and
it seems to help my nerves so much.”—
Mrs. Maggie Waller, Glasgow, Ky.
Says Learning Will K
Displace Laughter
An age without laughter, a somber (
and scientific period, when the jokes )
and comicalities of the present o&y
will be preserved as curiosities in the
dusty tomes of museums, was predict-
ed as a possibility by Dr. Charles
Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy,
in a talk before the summer school of
New York university.
The disappearance of laughter from
the world will be caused by the spread
of learning, Doctor Shaw said. Ha-
argued that, in a distant day, men will
know too much to laugh, just as primi-
tive men knew too little to smil^^-/
Men no longer laugh at thin;jH|ja,ey
used to laugh at, Doctor Shaw pointed
out. Among the things which laughter
now passes by, he said, are: Old
maids, bobbed hair, matrimony and
the drunken man.
Should Say She Was
Doris, two years old, was enjoying
an Ice cream cone, given her by
auntie, and had joyously “fell to”
without expressing thanks verbally.
Seeing that she had, for the moment,
forgotten manners, auntie teasingly
said:
“Thank you!”
Doris looked up brightly and said:
“I’m welcome.” t
