significance To the supersous it seemed solemn sign
People said that the very goddess of justice herself
outraged past all patience by the things that done
in her name in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania.
1t was not without that folks said this If
the goddess had been rea flesh and blood goddess with
heart in her mailed breast and brain behind her ban
daged eyes, she would most likely have done much did
the senseless stone goddess She would probably have
dashed her scales to- the earth in token of giving up the
whole business a bad job
For certain it is that strange things are done in the
of justice in Westmoreland county.
In her name men have been murdered there
In her drunken deputies riding at night have fired
women and children in their tents
In her and children have been ridden down
by state troopers
In her have been denied the right to carry
And in her the Irwin field striker is required to
get an official permit to attend funeral.
Anyway, whatever the reason was, the scales fell And
today the goddess stands with her empty hand upted
If in mute protest against condition under which
few mine owners and railroad shape the policy of
county and make serfs of thousands of people in that
county For the combined coal companies and the Penn
sylvania railroad OWN Westmoreland county. They own
the very courts Of the county The courts may not realize
this but be the coal barons and Pennsylvania rail
road magnates do
And because Westmoreand county is thus owned thous-
ands OF people of the Irwin coal field must spend this
Thanksgiving day, not only without thanksgiving cheer
but without even the common comforts of life.
The poor wretches who tenting on the Westmore-
land hills today well conceive good reasons why the
goddess of justice dropped her scales

HIS ANCESTORS HELD JOBS AS TITSCfiKAS AT $3.50 A

The SIant-Eyed People Who Run
Chop Suey Parlors Have a Nice
System Of Paying Their Bills
Every Night, but the Walters
Don't Belong to the Union.
BY JOHN COPLEY.

Low Bung Fow's great-great
grandfather was Titschka of the
ancient town of Lliang Fong.
His great grandfather got the
job when the honorable first Tit
schka turned up his honorable
toes and was gathered unto his
ancestors, and SO even did the
next son in the generation.
But Low Bung Fow was a sort
o. Shinese Bayard Taylor.
When he played with fan-tail
kites in the back doorways and
narrow alleys of old Shanghai he
dreamed of the great land that lay
under the yellowish sea, where the
sun went to sleep every night.
Low Bung Fow landed in Spo-
kane 10 years ago and has since
purveyed choice bits of boiled
duck, chow mien, birds nest soup
and SO on, to the Elect, and pie
beian chop suey to the summers
and night owls of Occidental per-
suasion.
We gathered all this from Low
Bung himself.
1t was he himself-the proprie-
tor OF the Chinese restaurant
who greeted us when we climbed
the stairs.
Il like this Chinese junk" OBJ
served the Press artist as we slid
into ebony -and-pearl chairs in Low
Bungs very very special guest
stall.
Whether do or not remains to
be seen," l said, not being partic-
ularly strong for chop suey after
having tried it in various dis
tried it in various DISCUSSES under
more or less agreeable conditions
You will find that some of our
dishes are pretty NICE" said Low
Bung in choicest academic Eng
lish. For instance, l might get
you up a little repast that would
cost me SO plate to produce"
We'll, we won't tackle that to-
night, old man." said The Press
artist nervously.
What have you got for so
cents?"
Low Bung offered us a choice
variety OF things from noodles
Tried in egg, omelet fashion, to
clear chicken broth with a dish of
boiled rice on the side.
We voted unanimously for the
noodles and managed to stow
away quite a portion of it.
From Low Bung we learned
mat there are nearly score of
Chinese restaurants flourishing in
Spokane. The walters do not be.
long to any union.
This is chiefly due, perhaps, to
the fact that each waiter owns a
certain share in the enterprise.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-11-24

Profits are divided every morning
and no debt is permitted to run
more than SO hours. They even
have little box in which they
drop the rent money every night
Instead of bread, the Chinese
prefers rice without salt or sweet
ening.
Instead of refined white sale,
the Chinese uses a dark brown
liquid that is mighty tasty to &C.
cidental palates.
I'm going to bring a bottle and
borrow some of this liquid salt the
next time we come," whispered
The Press artist.
Whereupon the Chinese man
ager presented us each with a
small flask of the stuff. It's ex-
traordinary how. those siant-eyed
chaps can hear q. whisper at 40
feet. Perhaps they have an acous-
ticon fitted up in the booths.
Low Bung Fow has figured out
that his great-great grandfather
received yearly wage that equals
1920 in American gold for being
Titschka of old Lliang Fong. Fol

In the United States $4,000, 900
is spent for gum every year. Figure
this out at the rate of eve sticks
for a nickel and you get two bill
lion sticks of gum. Four hours of
mastication on each of these sticks
develops 225,000, 000-horsepower.
This energy, if collected. would pull
the same train and it's 200 passen-
gers twice around the world. 1t
would drive a six-cylinder 1911
model automobile almost to the
sun. If Maize could PIT this energy
under her and gre it OIL, she would
get free ride to the planet Mars.
When you were girl--or a boy
you used to string out your gum,
dangling it from your face in long
string. In this way one stick can
be stretched to length of IS feet.
The combined length of all the two
billion sticks strung out would
make an eight-strand telegraph line
to the moon.

lowing the custom of the old coun-
try, Low Bung could have succeed
ed to the job from his father,
who moved to Shanghai.
But what self-respecting Chinese
gentleman with thirst for travel
would consent to stick around the
old place as mere Titschka at
$3.50 week when he can get folks
to give up good hard
frieu noodles and birds nest soup?
What is Titschka?
Pshaw! We forgot to ask Low
Bung Fow!

LET'S BORROW YOUR GUM TILL RECESS
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH IT

The curtain discloses Maize, the
beautiful ribbon counter girl, chew
ing gum.
In her eye there is the divine fire
of noble purpose. She is doing
something more than chewing gum
she, in her humble way, is gener-
ating power to run the universe.
For Maize is but one of a grand
army of ribbon counter girls who
are consecrating their young lives
to the production of gum power.
And it isn't Mazie's fault that this
power is not utilized. It's the fault
of backward mechanical genius that
hasn't come forward to collect this
power generated by Maize and her
companions. For If that could be
done, enough energy would be
brought together to dig the Pan
anna canal or to pull passenger
train twice around the earth.
Every time Mazie's jaw moves on
the downward stroke two ounces of
power are developed. On the up
ward stroke four ounces of power
result. That's a total of six ounces.
This power can be easily measured
with an rdinary set of druggists's
scales.
Our heroine chews at least one
stick of gum every day for a year,
and at the rate Of 40 revolutions a
minute, for four hours, the Jaws
open and close 3,504,000 times on
365 cuds of gum every year. The
energy developed equals $4,000
pounds, or 41-horsepower. This
energy would pull train of eve
cars with 2Cn messengers Al feet

"A Cherries Thanksgiving
Today Where Justice
Dropped Her Scales

On the 28th of June, 1910,
the goddess of justice that
crowns the facade of the
Greensburg, Pa, courthouse
dropped her scales.
1t was just after court had
been adjourned for the day.
Some striking miner was be-
ing tried for conspiracy, or
rioting, or what not. People
were coming down from the
court room. Then the scales
fell. They fell sheer down
to the pavement, and struck
with a great clatter.
Perhaps it was rust. Per-

did it. Nobody really be-

thing supernatural about the
falling of the scales of JUS
