Trade Unionism and its Relation TO the
Social Uplift." was the subject considered
by the social science department Of the
womsn's club Monday afternoon. T. W.
Mccullough. managing editor OF The Bee,
was the speaker, and his address was fol-
lowed by general discussion. There has
never been a time. Mr.. Mccullough said.
when men so generally acknowledge that
they are their brothers keepers as today.
Responsibility is thrust upon everyone and
accepted until humanism is coming to sup
plant lndividualism and nationalism. The
labor question, he said, is comparatively
a modern question, owing to the fact
that the introduction OF machinery
and the changes resulting from the
multiplicity of production have en-
tirely changed the status Of the workman.
Ownership has passed from workman to
employer and with the tools adequate to
modern production, machinery, taken out of
his hands, the position of the workman has
become fixed. The trades union is the OUT
growth and its chief aim is the regulation
Of the conditions under which men must
serve as employees always with a view to
elevating them.
Mr.. Mccullough explained the operation
of the American Federation OF Labor and
the various unions and the democratic prin-
ciples upon which their work is conducted.
lie explained also the necessity Of har-
monious action and the unions difficult
and delicate position in curbing and direct
ing so large a membership, composed neces-
sarily of men Of widely different stand
ards and animated. too, with that same
selfishness common to all mankind. He
pointed out the great responsibility Of the
men entrusted with the executive work Of
the unions and illustrated the difficulties
often added to their position through mis-
conception or lack of sympathy on the
part of the public and conflicting court de-
cisions.
The benefits of trades unions he summed
up as better wages, shorter hours, better
working conditions and a general uplift
for all, while in many unions there is a
pension or home for those who have grown
old or become disabled in the service.
During the business hour It was decided
to bring Mrs. Lillian Stevens and Miss
Anna Gordon, president and secretary OF
the National Women's Christian Temper
ance union before the entire club wher
they visit Omaha the last of this month
to confer with the local committee regard.
ing the convention of the National Won,
ems Christian Temperance union to bt
held in Omaha next October. 1t had beer

women should appear before the depart

School Debating teams to repeat their re
cent debate on the employers liability law

Her Audacious Fight For Gay and His
"Besears' Opera"
When the "Beggars' Opera" by Gay,
was produced in 1928 it took positively
by storm. The king still chung to Han
del, but the nobility, with the Duchess
of 6ueensberry among them, focked
rapturously to the "Newgate pasto-
raj" The "Beggars' Opera" had run
of sixty-two nights, unprecedented In
those days, and as one result Of its
success Handel became bankrupt. Sud
denly there came an order from the
lord chancellor to stop the new piece
Why, is not exactly known unless IL
was because the prime minister consid-
cred himself to be too faithfully rep
resented therein. However that may
have been, the theater had to be closed,
whereupon the Duchess Of Queensber-
~ took up Gays cause and vehementiy
championed 1t.
Very busy was she In those days,
driving about in her coach asking for
guinea subscriptions for printing cop
les of the forbidden play. And so heed
less was Kitty that she carried her list
to the queens drawing room itself and
had the audacity to ask the king for
subscription. This was little too
much, and her grace was requested to
withdraw from the court, Kitty an
nouncing, with characteristic compo-
sure. that the command was very
agreeable to her, as she had never gone
there for her own diversion, but to be-
stow civility upon the king and queen.

THE NORMAN "oYEz."
A Legacy Of William the conqueror to
the Courts.

A Legacy Of William the Conqueror to
the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been In a
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and us. ends the bench the court
crier drones out:
"OyeZ, oyez. oyeZ, the honorable court
Of the whatever district 1t may bel is
now in session"
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez oyeZ, oyez,"
Instead of "harken. harken, harken,"
because Of chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
Its head. Happening to enter court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, oyeZ," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as reminder OF
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle of Hastings

Darling" he exclaimed In agony,
'"what is the matter?'

tightly closed, and motioned him from
her.
He fell upon his-knees.

the party, but on my oath II thought
she was you"
Her lips closed even tighter, but she
uttered not a syllable, and, In despair
at her unbending demeanor, he fed
from the place, he knew not whittier.
Would yon know, oh, reader, the rea-
son of the conduct by which a woman
blighted two young lives? Twas sim

papua Island.

Papua island was so named by the
Malays, and the word means "frizzled,"
in reference to the hair Of the inhabit-
ants. 1t is generally supposed that
Papua or New Guinea was originally
part Of the mainland Of Australia. 1t
was discovered by the Portuguese In
1926, though it was probably sighted
by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen
years earlier. The Australian govern
ment, realizing the danger that would
arise If an enemy seized land so near
their coasts, frequently urged England
to annex the eastern portion OF the
island, and after two or three unau-
thorized annexations British protec-
torate was established there in 1884.

THE PARACHUTE u
Leonardo da vinei Was the First One
70 SUGGEST II.


Credible accounts exist Of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver Of Malmes-
bury. in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of tower with the
assistance of wings attached to his
arms and his feet. IL is said that, hay
Ing gone along little way, he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acci-
dent to failure TO provide his appara-
tus with tail, which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent q gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
VincI first demonstrated that a bird,
which is heavier than the afr, sustains
Itself. advances in the air. 'by render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where 1t does not pass" In order
to fly it has to fix its point of support
on the air. It's wings in the descending
stroke exert pressure from above
down, the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center Of gravity or
its body TO ascend at each Instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain 1t. Some sketches which have
come down to us prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to fly
by the assistance Of wings suitably
fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed In the following terms: 'If
man had a pavilion each side of which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear OF
danger" 1t may be said, too, OF Leo
nardo da Vinci that he was the first to
suggest the idea of the screw propeller.
