said he was willing to go deep down

such purposes.
References were made to appeals for
the financing OF other strikes and the

The Six Hour Day.
Following is the Federation's decla-

That we favor a progressive de-

Dor will tend TO a gradual elimination
OF the unemployed. We recommend.
THAT we strive for a moro gen.

In all trades and occupations before
commencing a general agitation for q
six hour work day. but in the event
many national and International organ
izations desire to commence an aeita-
ton for a working day less than eight

The Cover Fire Bell Was Rung Way
Back In King Alfred's Time.
What is the cnrfew? Its etymology
carries its history with it. The word
comes from the French couvre-feu
tcover tireD. a bell tolled at evening as
a signal to the inhabitants to cover
fires. extinguish lights and retire to
rest. Ii Is enormously said to have
been instituted in England by Will
liam the COnqueror as an arbitrary
bit of tyranny, and the nursery his
torian has waxed sentimental over the
Wrongs of the conquered Saxon. and
conjnred up pictures that must be
balm to the downtrodden Celt. Even
Thomson tells us:
The shlvering wretches at the curfew
sound
Detected sunk into their sordid beds.
But the couvre-feu was known be-
fore williams time, both in England
and ON the continent. He did, indeed,
issue an edict on the subject. and al
though this edict may incidentally
have helped to put down the Saxon
beer clubs. which were hotbeds of
political conspiracies. its primary aim
was as a precaution against fire. That
danger was an ever present one in
those days Of chimneyless wooden
houses.
The ancient city ordinances of Lon
don abound in stringent fire regula,
tons. None of them, however, was
more effective than the cover fire.
bell. which as far back as the time
of King Alfred was rung in certain
places in England. Williams edict
rendered compulsory an ancient Gus
tom. But it was a wise legislative
act and not bit of arbitrary tyranny
We find plenty of early traces of th'
custom or its equivalent. as, for in
stance, the blowing of horn at th'
market place in continental Europe.

am asked. Are distant stars which

or are worlds like our earth visible by

Go out TO Neptune. our own last To-

turn around. look back this way; then
you must have a large telescope to see

stellar distances.
Thus from space depths only suns at
terrific heat are visible in any tele-

are both totally unknown to people on
