WELSH OBSERVE
ST. OAviO'S DAY
Patron Saint Remembered
Amid Merrymaking
and Song
Special to Evening Teller.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, March sturdy
sons Of Wales, Of whom there are
more than 100000 scattered through
out the country. particularly in the
west and northwest, will today make
merry in celebration of st David's
Day.
st. David 10 the patron saint of
Wales, as st. George is of England,
ST.. Patrick of Ireland and ST. Andrew
OF Scotland.
Unlike many saints the Wales char
acter is not semi-mythical "Dewi
SAINT" or Dafydd, was born about
462 A. d. He despised notoriety and
Stunned public functions He was not
ed for his. generosity and self sacri-
fees. His great deed was the crumb.
ling of Pelagianism.
His Religious Beliefs.
While he was doing good work in
the Vale of Roses the herises of Pela-
gius were gaining strength in Wales.
Able men, full of virtue, were spread
ing the doctrine. Their teachings, the
uplifting, were not orthodox.
They believed in God and the Holy
Spirit, but not in the Son. The old
church searched for a man comepetent
to cope with the capable Pelegians.
Finally they hit upon st. David
Devil reluctantly complied with the
request of the bishops. The effect of
powerful sermon, delivered in a
trumpet-llke voice, was marvellous. 1t
dealt Pelagianism a death blow
An Honored Tradition.
Tradition says that a white dove
alighted upon his right shoulder. and
that the ground under him raised to
a small hill during the delivery of his
wonderful sermon.
At the close of this Synod Dubric-
ious retired from the bishopric of
Caerleon and and at his request David
succeeded him. David achieved great
success. His visits to Ireland were
especially encouraging.
He was cannonized by Gallitus II in
1920. Some biographers assert that
Devil lived 14e years, but later authori-
ties are agreed that he died when about
80 years Of age.

she is breaking up.
Ten men in life boat have put out

effort is being made to rescue all on
board before the steamer goes to

While the report is not verified, It

BUTTE STRIKE
SPREADS FAST
Many Men Quit Work and
Others Are Locked
Out

BUTTE, Mimi, March 1.-As was
expected, March 1, saw the strike of
the various unions spreading rapidly.
In many cases the men quit and in
others they are locked out.
The structural trades are the most
seriously affected so far, but unless
the compromise proposition of the
manager of the street railway COM
pany is accepted, the street car sys-
tenn must go down.
The crucial point in the industrial
trouble comes tonight, when the mill
and smelter men will vote on the
proposition to raise the scale to 81.
Will ParaIyze Entire State.
If the proposition carries, and it
probably will, and the demand is re-
fused, the smelters must also go down,
and consequently every mine in this
district will close.
This will include the Anaconda and
Great Falls smelters.
If no settlement is in sight tomor-
row, the entire state will be paralized
by the first great strike in it's his
tory.
There are $500 men out already.
The letter carriers did not resign
today as had been feared.

 The Norwegians and Swedes who pioneered the states of Minnesota. Michigan and Wisconsin introduced the skee. They had been used to it at home. They found plenty of deep snow and the necessary hills for the sport in their adopted country and gradually taught their neighbors, the born Americans, the usefulness and the joys of skeeing. There is na- tional skeeing association, which holds annual tournaments in Minnesota or Michigan, at which contests in skee jumping and running are held. There is nothing so exciting as these tourna- ments. Washington's birthday was chosen for the date this year and Red Wing, Minn., as the place for the tour namentS.
 For skee jumping steep long hill is selected, where the snow is several feet deep. If no satisfactory hill be found, sort of toboggan slide is rig ged up for use as the first and steepest part of the course. The skeemen climb to the top of this on ladders or walk up along the side of the snow covered track. Far down the course is the bump or take-off, which is an obstruc- tion built of wood and covered with snow. The runner strikes this and leaps into the air. That is where the

"Pal.Sifa1.''

'Parsifal' that beautiful and inn pressive masterpiece of one of the worlds greatest men, of soulful, torceful, magnificent conception, Richard Wagner, will be produced for the first time in Pine Bluff Fri day, March 8, at the Elks theater. Staged with spectacular features that enhance the value of the pro- auction, presented with a sense of fitness of things, that is necessary to so demanding play, and inter- preted by an ensemble of artists carefully selected is what we are promised in this most unique offer ing. There is no. necessity of de- scribing the wonderful work at this time for it is familiar to most peo- pie, students of the great master and his greatest effort. In fact, de- scription in detail would be inhar- monio1ls. The work we are to see is presented in verse or classic mu- sic drama, as it might be called, with Wagner's grand musical con- ception rendered by an augmented orchestra of twenty musicians as an accompaniment to the wondrous text.
 A feature of the performance which .Parsifal' patrons should bear in mind is the unusual hour of commencement. The curtain will rise promptly at 7:45, auditors should be in their seats at this time, as the darkened auditorium will prevent seating any one during the action of the play, and late corners will be required to stand until the conclusion of the first act, which re- quires A minutes for each inter- Dretation.

jump begins. The skillful jumper will make hundred feet or more before landing.
 The worlds record jump was made four years ago in Norway. It is 134 feet 6 inches. That is almost phenom- enal. But number of Americans, most of them of Scandinavian extrac- tiOn, however, have made better than a hundred feet. It is said that at a tournament where hundred men are in competition the jumps will average sixty feet The highly skilled men. of course, far surpass the average.
 Skees are simply long strips or run ners of pine or ash wood, about four inches wide and from six to ten feet long. They are turned up at the front end and are strapped to the feet about the middle. At this point the wood is an inch thick. The thickness tapers off toward the ends. The runner usu- ally carries long pole for steering or braking when running and for balanc- ing himself when he takes the flying leap from the bump. Men who are experts in skeeing disdain the assist ance of the pole. It is advisable for most persons to carry one, however.
 The jumper who lands upon his feet and keeps going wins over the one who may jump farther. but falls into the snow. While this sport may seem dan gerous to tue uninitiated. accidents sell dom happen. It is highly exhilarating. as may be imagined.

 In Norway, Sweden, Russia and Den- mark there are regular skee regiments in the armies. These soldiers carry their rifles and bag containing thr- ty-six pounds of provisions. blankets and clothes. They carry triangular canvases. which they put together at night to form tents.

 extent. He has had more love troubles than most of his heroes and has been compared to Lord Byron in this re- spect. His country seat is one of the finest in the neighborhood of Florence and in room of this chateau he shut himself up one time to write one of his best known tragedies, so arranging the apartment that it could be entered only by ladder from the outside in order that he might not be disturbed. Fond of ease and luxury though he is, he proves tremendous worker when the inspiration is on him. Sometimes, like Balzac, he writes steadily for eleven hours at time. The sea infatuates him, and often he can be seen riding along the sands at dawn. And, al though he is an out and out pagan, he frequently shuts himself up alone in churches at night For some time he will be seen frequently in society in Rome and in Florence; then for long period he will court absolute soli- tude and be seen by scarcely any one.
