\ bill patterned after the Canadian
law which has for its purpose the pre-
VentlOn Of strikes and IOCkOuts, has
been introduced in the Colorado Legis-
lature. 1t provides that when en-
plOyers and their wOrkmen can not
agree upon wages or conditions of en-

to the Governor of the State. before
any strike or lockout shall take place
The Governor shall then appoint a
board of arbitration and Cancellation
Of three members. One member
shall be recommended by a committee
OF wOrllingmen or their union and one
by the employer, and the two shall
recommend the third member. who
shall have power to summon witness
es and require the production of
! books and papers. 1t shall then make
reCOmm endatiOn as to settlement OF
the disagreement. There will be no
obligation on the part of either side
to a dispute to accept the award or
| finding of the commission, but the
fact that no strike or lockout can be
ordered or called until an inveStiga
tiOn by the commission is calculated
to have a good effect. Fines are pro
vided for in case of violation by either
side pending an investigation, as pre-
sCribed in the measure.

E-C GIRL GREETED
BY THOUSANDS
Saturday Broke All Records in the
Amount of Money Given Away.

The reception given the &c Girl in
her journeys through the city yester-
day was the most extraordinary that
ever attended an advertising cam
palgn. As she drove through the
crowded streets Of the downtown dis
trict she was hailed by hundreds of
enthusiastic women and children
whose homes she had visited or who
had heard of the good work she is do
ing to advertise &c Corn Flakes and
make it the best known breakfast food
in the world.
Yesterday established a new record
in the amount of money given away.
The &c Girl drove more than thirty
miles and visited more homes than she
has ever done in a single day before
feature Of this campaign which is
highly gratifying to the management
is the extraordinary increase in the
sales Of &c Corn Flakes. Many gro
GERS were compelled to drive to the
wholesale houses Yesterday to get a
fresh supply of the goods, their stocks
having become exhausted.
Another feature which appeals es
pecially to the &c Girl is the letters
she receives every day from children
and even adults asking her to visit
| their homes. Here is a sample writ
! ten by a little Richmond boy:
Dear Miss &c Girl, Westcott Hotel:
please call at our house while you
are in town. We eat &c Corn Flakes

An unusual album was presented to
Willis Clark. brother of Lewis Gaylord
Clark, poet, on one occasion, with
request for "some rhymes"
Mr.. Clark was at the house of a
farmer, and the mans daughter had
turned an old account book into an
autograph album in which were In
scribed the names of her various
friends and relatives below appropriate
sentiments.
Mr., Clark saw his opportunity, and
after turning over the leaves for a mo-
ment or two he took pen and wrote
the following verse:

Both the Derby and the Oaks owe
their names to that Earl Of Derby who
kept pack Of staghounds near EPSON
during the last quarter Of the eight
zenith century and resided at a hunt

later a spiteful description Of the Oaks
and Its Jockeys was recorded in the
diary of Charles Greville. In the re-
port Of the first Derby run the names
OF five starters and OF all the riders
are missing and there Is no betting

As the earliest known boolxmaker,
Vauxhall Clarke, was hanged, not for

betting on the race course could not
at that period have been a particularly

Noises and Nerves.

Anti-noise crusaders have at last
forced the authorities to admit that
people have nerves few doctors
and likewise few strenuous laymen
have long combated the idea of nerves.
Proud to say that have no nerves"
was the remark often made by per-
sons blessed with thick cuticle and
blunted sensibllities. Nerves will
adapt themselves to conditions. City
trained nerves are as much upset by
the absence Of noise in the country as
country trained nerves are Jared by
the ceaseless clamor of the city.
The old time hum of the town and
the city was, after all. not very dis
tracing to the nerve of the normal
person. 1t simply suggested life and
activity. "'The worlds low hum" is the
poets definition of that pulsating of all
nature which tones up the nerve of the
average man. Somehow it is possible
for all mankind to get in touch with
that all pervading energy that makes
the world go round and feel at home.
But the ear spllttiSg. nerve pounding
sounds which have invaded life on all
sides are always shocks and never
tonics for the nervous system. We
may blink them and imagine we show
nerve. not complaining. but the truth
is that the whole frame rises In re-
volt and protest, wanting to get away
from the bedlam. When we cannol
get away we work up a sympathetic
sensation and hurry and hustle so that
the nerves will not react. This helps
for time, but In the end the system
suffers and pays for its stoicaI indif-
ference. Nervous breakdowns often
come to victims who seem to be noise
hardened. They simply have the noise
habit, and it is a disease which must
run to crisis. 1t is we'll that authori-
ty has at last Joined hands with sci
ence to make useless and harmful
noises questionable and that the pub
lie is insisting upon its right to ''fair
and reasonable" quiet

The Hon. Champ Clark's forceful
comparison OF modern national con.
ventl0n with boiler factory as a
place for deliberatlon has provoked
thought throughout the country and
even called forth approval in many
quarters. In one convention this year

flcation feature to which critics like
Champ Clark and those who agree

Il IL sim asserted in schoolbooks that
cherries were introduced to England
By the "fruiteFer" or greengrocer Of
Henry Will; also. that they were not
common for a hundred years after that
time. This Is an error. Mr.. Thomas
Wright found the name in every one
Of the Anglo-Saxon vocabularies which

so highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became a recognized
festlval-"cherry fair" or feast" And
this grew into a proverblal expression
for heeting joys. Cover says the fri
