TROUBLE IN LAURIUM TODAY
EMPLOYEES ESCORTED TO WORK

A report was IN circulation last even
ing that strike benefits had been paid
to strikers, but it proved to be un-
true. So far no money has been
paid TO the strikers. who are anxiously
waiting for that one dollar day said
TO have been promised the men. Many
of the strikers are in need of money.
ana unless some is seen forthcoming
from the Western Federation of Min
ers there will be considerable suffer-
ing among them. The local miners
union mas assisted a number Of fam
lies in dire need by purchasing, with
funds out Of the local treasury. neces-
stiles sufficient to last them tempor-
arily, but no money has disbursed. No
money has yet been received from out
side sources, II was stated by the
secretary Of the LEGAL union last night,
but he added he understood some mon
ey was on the way.
In regard TO assistance promised the
strikers, the Native Copper Times
says:
There is evidence that the men are
beginning 20 realize what contin-
uance Of the strike may mean TO
themselves, their wives and families,
and this fact has resulted in daily
addition to the Back to Work" force
which has grown, SO that today up
wards of 5000 of the employees of the
Calumet q HecIa, are either working
or have signifed their readiness TO
do so, as soon as conditions under
ground will permit.
The strikers. or at least many of
them, are reported TO be getting tired
of waiting for the assistance promised

should be given the one dollar a day.
or S26 per month. that sum would look
small, alongside what the average
miner is capable of earning today, and
very small when compared with the

by very many of the miners of the

face to face with condition that cam
not long continue and they are real

ALFRED MOVES.

Has science made such inroads on
sentiment and emotion that poetry
can never again dominate? Alfred
Noyes. said to be the greatest English
poet since Tennyson. says no. This
young poet predicts that the next age
will be an era of poetry. AS science
dominates the world today. he be-
lieves poetry will dominate the world
tomorrow.
Though only 80 years old. Noyes
has gained wide popularity. He has
written nine or ten volumes of poetry.
His work is popular in England. He
is also receiving attention in the
United States during his visit here
Noyes takes himself and his poetry
seriously. He believes that the func-
ton of poetry is to spiritualize life
To him the smallest i'm life is not to be
disregarded. Like .Cowper, he would
not count among his friends the man
who needlessly steps on a worm.

LITERARY MEN FOR DIPLOMATS,

Many American writer's have rep
resented the United States at for
eign courts. The list of literary men
who have been ambassadors to Eng
land alone is long one. beginning
with Washington Irving and includ-
ing such men as Edward Everett.
George Bancroft, James Russell Low
ell. John Hay and whitelaw Reid.
And now the new ambassador to
England is to be Walter II. Page, who
has been a distinguished magazine
editor and publisher for many years.
Mr.. Page has been editor of the
Forum. OF the Atlantic Monthly and
Of Worlds Work 1t is said that his
appointment is especially satisfactory
to Great Britain.

representatives to European courts

THE WHEAT CROP.

The reports that have been received
indicate that Missouri will have the
largest wheat crop this year that it
has ever had. Last year one-fourth
OF the crop was winter killed; this
year practically no damage has been
done by the cold. The Hessian fly
has not shown up yet, and indications
point that it will not be with us this
year
The prospects OF this large crop
are pleasing to both the farmer and
to the people at large. 1t will mean
more money for the former and
cheaper food prices for the latter. In
Missouri wheat is an important crop
and when successful means great
deal to the state.

THE ENGLISH REVOLT.

How would you like to be a suffra.
gette?
Two of the most time-honored OBJ
jections to the granting of the ballot
to woman have been that she did not
want the vote. and that she was un-
able to bear arms in case of war.
The suffragettes, whatever their
shortcomings, seem to be answering
these arguments most energetically.
After all. there is a great deal to
be said for the suffragette. The vi
olence for which she has been con-
demned came only as a last resort
after peaceful means had been tried
and found unavailing. Her recent
efforts have at least gained attention.
which is more than could be said
of the former petitions she presented
She has made the problem of woman
suffrage live topic over all the world
"a necessary first step before there
could be any widespread public study
of the question.
Whatever We may think of "the
CauSp" We will all admira tho dayo-
tion that makes the suffragette ready
to die, If need be. in a hunger strike
Intense enthusiasm is too rare a quail
ity to be disposed of lightly by this
old stolid, conservative. work-a-day
world.

out the world, has been believed to
have originated in England. An Amer
lean actor said the black fogs of
London compelled the Englishmen to
adopt somber raiment, hence this hat.
However, the hat was first found
among the Assyrians. whose kings
wore cylindrical miters on their heads.
This hat was later worn by the Jews
and is described in the Bible as that
worn by Aaron and his sons. 1t came
to London with the Jewish money
lenders and thus became the sign of
a good bank account which meaning
it retains today.
Hats have even played a part in
legislation. Under Henry VIII, laws
were passed to distinguish the head
dress of married from unmarried
women. The former were not allow
ed to wear white or other colored
caps, and no woman was permitted
10 wear a hat unless she rode or
went abroad in the country. The
legislative bodies of today, while not
to take up the question of
hats themselves. keep up the custom |
,y trying to pass laws regulating the
ength of hatpins.
But what law nowadays is going to |
Ieep a woman from wearing any hat
he pleases? NJ. L.

than because of wealth. This is as
1t should be. Our ambassadors should
not misrepresent their country in
foreign lands by giving the false i'm
preston that Americans are inclined
to ostentation. Mr.. Page is not a
wealthy man as compared with some
of his recent predecessors. 1t is
hoped that he will set a new example
for democratic simplicity among
American diplomats.

BRASS HATS-AND OTHER KINDS
Vestiges of Our Ancestors Headdress Seen
In The Styles of Today-Man, Not

women are not tne nrSt 10 start tn(
style of wearing stew-pans and por
ringers as hats.
Don Quixote once met a barber
! wearing a brass bowl on his head
| Thinking this was the king at the
head of an army, the mad knight at
tackled him and captured the bowl
This was perhaps what started the
fashion of wearing brass hats. Other
peasants wishing to be mistaken for
the king made similar use of their
kitchen utensils.
This might offer some explanation
for the copper hat recently found six
feet underground about six miles
from Hannibal, Mo. 1t was found on
the site of what was once Marion
City, a town of early days, which was
described by Charles Dickens in his
stories of American travel. The hat
was very heavy and the copper in it
was worth about So. 1t had a round
crown, somewhat mashed, and a me-
dium-sized brim.
Some think this hat was worn to
America by foreign military COM
mander. Others say it is a ves-
tige of a fashion prevalent among
the German colonists who settled in
that region. Some maintain it is the
original hat captured by Don Quixote
and brought here by the French
Jesuits.
The only remains today of this
style are the metal helmets which are
still in use in a few military regi-
ments. and the nreman's helmet,
which is the same type as that worn
by the ancient Greeks
In ''The Tanning Of the Shrew."
However, there have been many 9TH
er strange and grOtesque styles of
hats in the past among both women
and men. We find Petruchio, in THE
Tanning of the Shrew," saying to the
who presented Rather
ines hat to him:

ger,
A velvet dish.

And Katherine, making the excuse .
which women of all time have made /
for their hats. says:
I'll have no bigger; this doth fit

And gentlewomen wear such caps

An English drama speaks of a wo.
nan with a coxcomb on her head In
he early days of Louis XVI hats were
