TO BOOM THE LABEL Naw York Trada Unionists Unit For Good Purpose. The formation of a Central Union Label council, which has been in the preliminary stages for several 'months, has taken concrete form In Greater New York, and a permanent organiza tion has been effected. The pioneers in the movement are composed of the Allied Trintlng Trades council, the Central Labor union of Brooklyn, the Centra Federated union of Manhat tan, the Bronx Labor council and the Women's Trade Union league. The objects of the council are to pro mote a greater demand for products bearing the union label and of labor performed by union workers: to In vestigate into, devise, recommend and within, the limits of Its authority carry Into effect methods for the advertise ment of union label products; to edu cate the members of trade unions, their families and the general public upon the economic, social and moral uplift furthered by the trade union movement; to further the general wel fare of all affiliated organizations and to aid in the work of organization among all the toilers for the common good; to promote the organization of assembly district councils to work un der the direction and supervision of the Central Union Label council In creating a demand for union label products In their respective assembly districts and to assist the parent body In every manner possible In protecting the Interests and furthering the wel fare of organized labor. The promoters of this new central body say: The formation of the Cen tral Union Label council marks the starting point of the most pompreben slve and businesslike plan to make ef fective use of the purchasing power of the money earned by organized labor that progressive .trade unionists have taken since the adoption of union la bels. Three hundred thousand work ers in Greater New York are now or ganized in their producing capacity. To organize them In their purchasing capacity is both practicable and prac tical. It "can be done, must be done, If they are to hold what they have gain ed by hard work and the sacrifice of time and money. The development of trade unionism has been jug-handled. Most of our efforts have been directed to the earning side. The spending side has been neglected." Beer Slang In Germany. Eyen the serious Germans, It ap pears, have a rich and racy slang. Here are some examples that a writer fox.lhe Baltimore Sun lately clawed out of la "German dictionary: Blerfisch (beer fish), the little bits of cork that sometimes float In beer; bierrede (beer harangue), a speech made at a ban quet; blerbass (beer bass), a heavy, on melodious masculine voice; bierbruder (beer brother), a barroom acquaintance; blerelfer (beer zeal), extraordinary and absurd enthusiasm. Old Salts. Another couple was about to be launched on the sea of matrimony. "They dou't seem a bit afraid," some one back in the crowd observed. "And why should they?" asked the gentleman next. "They've both . been across several times." SL Louis Post Dispatch. No 8wearlng. "Jim Isn't drinking now." "Honest? Did he swear off?" "No; he really quit this time." Tole do Blade. ROSES AMD THORNS. An Old Eastern Legend and Ita ApplJ cation to Human Life. This world we're living' In Is mighty hard to beat. You get a thorn with every rose. But ain't the roses sweet? There is an eastern legend that when the beneficent Creator prepared the earth for man. causing It to bring forth herbs and trees pleasant to the eye and good for food, each bearing Its seed within Itself for propagating Its kind, the rosea had no thorns and the lilies, violets and other blossoming plants were free from thistles, bram bles and noxious weeds.. But the sons and daughters of men In their greedy eagerness to gather the flowers, each one selfishly striving to secure a larger share than his fellow, seemed likely to despoil the earth of Its beauty and leave not even enough blossoms to perfect their seed and per petuate their species. Bo the kindly All Father provided the roses with thorns for self protection and sent a host of defenders of the more tender blossoms by causing thistles and briers to spring up around them like wardens of a castle or the bodyguard of a queen. And this Is the reason for the thorns and briers nature's protection against human greed. The legend has a wider application. The roses typify the pleasures of life and the thorns Its pains. A life of ease and pleasure was not only use less, but satiating. . It would demoral ize him who indulged in it. Satiety despoils the rose of Its beauty and the violet of its fragrance; hence kind na ture makes true pleasure the reward of virtuous effort and punishes over indulgence with penalizing suffering, to the end that greed may be restrain ed and self control developed with its attendant virtues of temperance, kind liness, industry and thrift.

Timidity, shyness and self conscious ness belong to the same family. We usually find all where we find any one, and they are all enemies of peace of mind, happiness and achievement No one has ever done a great thing while his mind was centered upon himself. We must lose ourselves before we can find ourselves. Self analysis is valu able only to learn our strength; it is fatal if it makes as dwell upon our weaknesses. Timid, shy people are morbidly self conscious. They think too much about themselves. Their thoughts are turn ed inward; they are always analyzing, dissecting themselves, wondering how they appear and what people think of them. If these people could only for get themselves and think of others they would be surprised to see what freedom, ease and grace they would gain, what success in life they would achieve. Thousands of young people are held back from undertaking what they long to do and are kept from trying to make real their great life dreams because they are afraid to Jostle with the world. They shrink from exposing their sore spots and sensitive points which, smart from the lightest touch. Tb.eir supers ensltlveness makes cow ards of thexov O. S. Maiden in Success Magazine.
