South American Labor Union
Would Merge With A. F. L.
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(United Press Stuff Correspondent)
Buenos Aires, Murch 5 (By mail)
Trades unionists throughout South
America today are extremely favorablo
to the proposal by President Samuel
Gompers of tho Amieriean- Federation
of Labor for a Pan-American workers'
combination.
"We' agree in principle with Presi
dent Gompers' suggestion," said Fran
cisco Rosanoba, secretary general of
the Federation of Labor of the Argen
tine Region today, "and will work to
accomplish the plan's realization.
"To this ond wo are about to cor
respond with the American Labor Fed
eiation officials who oro pushing tho
propaganda. If we could we would
take a still more active port in the
work, but this is impossible ut pres
ent, owing to tho lack of funds.
"We are enthusiastic in our support
of tho idea. Wo have always wished
for such a combination."
The Federation includes all the Ar
gentine labor organizations. It is un
derstood that the leading members
have already received intimations that
the labor federations throughout
iSouth America .will cooperate in the
j movement.
Whoever Planned the Ball Field Did a
Fine Job
In the April Woman's Home Com
panion C. M. Claudy says:
"Whoovor did tho calculating for a
baseball field mado a fine job of it. 'It
takes just so long to run from plate to
first, and it takes just about that long,
less n tiny fraction of a second, for
tho averago ball to le fielded by
the averago shortstop and hurled
down to tho big mit waiting for it.
Tho least slip, hesitation, juggle or
wait, and the umpire is going to
spread his hands plum down for a
'safe.' "

This Is Awful.
Somebody with nothing better to do
has invented Chinese shorthand.
Chineso Shorthand J Can you imag
ine it And just look at the Chinese
language already. Posterity should
be considered before a thing like this
is done. Look ahead ten or twelve
centuries. Think what an orgy the
archaeologists will have with the
shorthand inscriptions they find in tho
ruins of Hong Kong.
Look at the shorthand mysteries
thct have been wished on this gene
ration by the stone-shipping Egyptian
stenographers. Look at the hiero
glyphics the Greeks and tho Romans
cooked up nnd left lying around.
Chinese shorthand certainly will be
ghastly for posterity.

This Is Sad.
A man has no time to be decent to
his wife.
Ho gets up enrly in tho morning
with a grouch nnd has to leave before
it does. Consequently ho has no time
to be decent to her in the morning.
He arrives at tho office feeling fine;
and hd continues to foci fine until long
in tho afternoon, when his duties be
gin to crab and fag him. By the time
he gets home at night ho is disgrunt
led for tho evening. Thus he hns no
time to be decent to her in the even
ing. .
On Sunday he is too worn out with
the work of tho week to do anything
but cat nnd mope.
The average man hns plenty of good
disposition, but no time to practice it
on his wife.
Socks.
Tho sock is another of life's myst
eries.
Whether it hns been a sock from the
first, or started out to be a stocking
and lost its nerve, no one knows. The
only thing we're sure of is that it got
half way up man's leg nnd stopped.
And for no nppnrent reason. Tho
sock's way to msin's knee was clear.
Woman's stocking proves that.
But let us not censure the sock too
severely for its shortcoming1!. It's
like n lot of other human affairs
begun enthusiastically and ended half
wny.
Salt.
Salt is n whito, bullhended season
ing that has to be put in n shaker and
hnndlcd roughly before it will mind.
It hns nn awful crust t times and
must be pulverized into submission.
It will bnlk and stall around its re
treat as long as it can, coming out in
the open only hon you threaten it
with tho blunt end of a fork.
Then it has spells of melancholy.
jYoti might as well let it nlone when
jit gets one of those. It grows soggy
i and dull. There is nothing in the
world more morose than n soggy
shnkerfull of salt.
When our salt gets stubborn nnd
mulish we just say to ourselves, but
not so our wife can hear: "Well, per
haps wc are r.ow dealing with n chunk
of the salt Iot's wife turned to."

Since she appeared in spoken drama

Miss Dana is one of the most prom

that have set such high standards in
motion picture acting, and whose fol

has been before the public nearly all
her life, having made her stage debut

youngest legitimate star in the silent

Women's Pockets Are Now Bigger
1 Than Men's
In the April Woman's Mome Com
panion, Grace Margaret Gould says:
"Pockets are now put to a new use.
They are bigger than ever and ar
ranged to give a barrel effect to a
skirt. Many of them are also much
trimmed. Some are embroidered;
nthnrs nw a mass of beads, and Still
others are pointed in effect and fin
ished with a long tassel. Headed el

mumber of imported hats have their
brims faced entirely witti tiny beads,
and the beaded bag and the beaded

"THE GOLDEN FETTER"
ARC A DE
In offering Wallace Rcid nnd Anita
King to the public as fellow-players,
the Lasky company feels that they
have formed an ideal combination,
nnd their first starring vehicle, a
thrilling western drama, "The Golden
Fetter," which will be the Paramount
Picture at the Arcade today and to
morrow is a story of unusual interest.
These two young people are typical
Americans in every sense of the word.
Wallace Reiid has scored a great suc
cess in nil his productions nnd was se
lected by Cecil B. DcMillo to play as
leading man for Geraldine Farrar in
his great production founded on the
story of Joan of Arc. Wnlly, as he is
bettor known, is a typical big, husky
American. When ho has not been on
the stage or before the camera ho
has been a civil engineer, cowlxjy, and
everything else in fact that a young
man could turn his hands to.
Anita King has mado herself more
than popular with the amusement
seeking public by her splendid per
formances in "The Race," "Anto the
Terrible" nnd "The Heir to the
Hoorah." In "The Golden Fetter" she
is given a still better opportunity. In
addition to her photodreimatic activ
ities, Miss King h;s the distinction of
being the first woman to motor across
the American continent nlone and is
nt present tho only one of the thou
sands of motion picture people in Los
Angeles occupying a civil position
that of City Mother, in special charge
cf the hundreds of screen-struck girls
who visit that metropolis.
In "The Golden Fetter." Mr. Reid
is soon as a young mining engineer
who hns come west to seek his for
tune. Anita King is a New England
school teacher who is suddenly thrust
into tho turmoil nnd excitement of a
western town. How tho money which
she hns invested in a worthless mine
which bind her to tho man she- loves
is returned to her and steel handcuffs
are turned into fetters of gold, is
brought about in a most dramatic and
gripping manner.
In the cast supporting Miss King
; and Mr. Reid are Tully Marshall, Wal
ter Long, C. H. Geldert, Guy Oliver,
, Lucien Littlefield, Larry Payton, Mrs.
Lewis JlcLord nnd others.
