This is the impression which one carries away from a talk with representatives ol' the Labor Unification Committee, the body which now officially heads the Shanghai .labor movement and claims to super vise the activities of 20Q trade unions, with 300,000 members, of whom a third are women and a sixth are child ren. One reaches the headquarters of the Labor Unification Committee by going outsido the boundaries of the International '‘Settlement and thread ing one's way through the winding . streets of the more picturesque na tive city, mitteo fliers in the uniform of the National ist army, This is due -to some con cern lest the Communists, who still carry on an underground propaganda, might stir up a sudden attack on the place. Officials of the committee were very dfriphatie in dissociating their organi zation from any connection with Com munism or any other radical ideas. Communists Eliminated. "After General Chiang Kai-shek closed down the former unions, which were under Communist elimination,■ the Labor Unification Committee was appointed by the Nanking * Govern ment for the purpose of reorganizing the Shanghai labor movement,” ex plained one official. "In order to elim inate the Communist influence we re quired all the trade unions which de sired to affiliate with us to undergo a new registration, Wo sent investi gators to find out whether any of the leaders in the unions were Commun- wo made it a condition of that such leaders should be So at the present time we altogether non-Communist labor movement. When we learn that. Communists are still active in trying ■to stir up strikes wo notify the police and the military authorities. During the last two months, however, there have been practically no strikes.” In contrast to the Communists, who encouraged the workers to strike for whatever they wanted, the Labor Uni fication Committee exerts a decidedly moderating influence on the unions which Come under its jurisdiction. It goes on the theory that the strike is a weapon of last resort:, which should only bo employed after all other means of settlement have been tried unsuccessfully. Rights of Labor Recognized. It also recognizes the right of employer to earn a profit from enterprise. When its investigators are called in to adjust a labor dispute they are bound to take into considera tion the financial condition of the en terprise, as well as the demands and needs of the workers. So fax' the Labor Unification Com mittee has participated in the adjust ment of more than 500 disputes and it receives every day 30 or 40 letters on industrial, questions, with requests for mediation and intervention. The committee differs from most American and western European trade unions in such matters as its direct depeixdence upon the Govern ment and its recognition of the in terests o ftlxe employer. Mr. Fei, one of the officials, declared that Italy was the model which the Shanghai trade unions were following at the present i$no.

There are plenty of horses on the outskirts of the city —and not for agricultural labor, either. They are used for riding.

Aged Mother-in-Law Jokes Garel Capek, the famous Czech author, with whose plays "R. U. R.". and “The World We Live In” America' is familiar, has been writing about the mother-in-law jokes. Capek holds that these jokes are found in the literature! of all times—in the Hindu Veda, on 1 Egyptian tombstones, in the' Edda and in the Jewish and the Christian Bibles. j Tii .fact/ he says, the mother-in-law j a sociological pheno-1 'jokes are such an old thing that they j have become menon. Capek adds the proverbial ways tells* of the alleged unfriendly re lations between herself and her son- in-law, but never of the antagonism to her daughter-in-law. In the manner the henpecked husband fended, but never the arbitrary ment of a wife by her husband. The playwright asserts that about the mother-in-law and the hen pecked husband were created by men, not women. All such jokes arose in prehistoric times. They came from societies of men where in no women ( were allowed*, under penalty of death, and are most popular even to-day in ! men’s clubs or men's gatherings. Men, .lie remarks,"When they are together I tell funny stories, while women among j themselves remain thoroughly seri-i Olis; indeed when a woman tells a 'story it is usually one of masculine origin. j The jokes about henpecked hus- | bands are evidently the outcome of' • the matriarchate age, when the mother was at the head^of the family.

In Defence of the Larger Foot Reuter tells us that the foot of the average American woman is now nearly half an inch longer and a full size wider than that of a brief decade, ago.” . . . Nowadays we know very well that women have legs, and a fair sized foot is a natural an,d appropriate part of them. It looks right and it is right, for a tiny foot combined with the short skirt produces rather an effect of instanbllity which may be very desirable in a ballet dancer pirouetting on her toes, but is a good deal less attractive in a woman walk ing along a street. Women are no longer expected to trip-—they walk, and as a matter of fact they probably walk, a great deal better than they did when no one could see whether they wore tripping or shufflng along. The size of the feet matters a good deal less than the way in which the feet are used, for grace of carriage is just as possible with large limbs as small ones. ■©tie Hamilton,Ont.—"I have taken Lydia E.
