and intimidates Judges the way it de-
fes authority and falsifies records and
history; the way it laughs at law and
evades punishment the way it manipu-
lates elections and wins privileges; the
way it employs pulpit and police to 81
lence opposition the way it sends inno-
cent men to prison for life and makes
use of gunner to crush lawful picketing
and strikes; the way it defies and stran-
giles the will of the people and extracts
tribute from their pockets-wealth'S
contemptuous and arrogant way-the
cause of resentment and unrest.
When the rebuke came from labor,
at conventions and maSs-meetings, the
lords of the industries and the cabals
of gold branded them as just so much
impudence, so much arrogance and so
much treason. What can they say
when they read these very charges in
the report OF the Government investi
gators. in the statement OF the Federal
Commission? Are these officials, com
missioned by the United States Gov
ernment, also liars and slanderers? For
these officials, in their report, charge
that they, the employers, have resorted
to questionable methods to prevent
their workers from organizing; that
they have attempted to defeat democ
racy by more or less successfully COLI
trolling the courts and legislatures: that
they have exploited women and chill
dren and unorganized workers; that
they have resorted to all sorts of meth
DDS to prevent the enactment of rene
dial legislation; that they have employed
gunmen in strikes who were disrepu-
table characters, and who assaulted in
nocent people and committed other
crimes most reprehensible in character;
that they have paid lower wages than
competitive conditions warranted; that
they have worked their people long
hours and under unsanitary and danger
GUS conditions; that they have exploited
prison labor at the expense OF free la
Dor: that they have been contract
breakers with labor; that they have at
tempted, through the authorities, to sup
press free speech and the right OF peace
full assembly: that they have deliberately
and for selfish ends bribed representa-
tives OF labor: and that all of these
things tend to produce industrial unrest
with all its consequent and far-reaching
ills"
! Kindly bear in mind that it is the Fed
eral Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions that makes the charges, giving the
reason for the industrial unrest with
all its consequent and far-reaching ills, u
and that the commission only confirms
what we have repeatedly pointed out
in our press and our forum. Remove
the causes, and unrest, as an excuse for
pernicious and criminal war agitation
will disappear. The workers want peace
freedom from industrial oppression and
a larger, better life. To them the lingo
is a vile, unhoy and pernicious creature

Rooms with low ceilings or with cell
ings even with the window tops are
susceptible OF more perfect ventilation
than those with high ceilings. II such
rooms the leakage at the windows,
which is constantly going on, keeps
the air in motion throughout the room,
whereas il the ceiling is higher only
the lower part OF the air is moved, and
an inverted lake OF foul and hot air is
left floating in the space above the
window tops. This lake keeps actively
at work, fouling the fresh currents cir
cuatng beneath it.

A Spiny Monster.

For sheer ferocity OF appearance, un-
redeemed by any milder facial attri-
butes, lizard called after "Moloch hor-
rid king" Moloch horridus is pre-emi-
nent among reptiles. The body of this
Australian reptile is SO covered with
spines that, as it has been put, nature
seems to have endeavored to ascertain
how many spines could be inserted on a
given space. But, unlike its tutelary
deity, who seems really to have spelled
himself Moloch. the lizard does not de-
mand the blood of children. 1t is, in
deed, vegetarian and only fiery in that it
has curious faculty OF absorbing and
drying up water. A specimen placed in
shallow dish attracted the water like
blotting paper.

Rocket Cameras.

The military camera OF a Saxon
named Maui is carried by a rocket over
the landscape to be photographed. The
rocket twenty feet long and weighing
fifty popnds, is mounted on special
support, which is raised to the degree
necessary and aimed by means OF
sights, and the electrically ignited pow
der charge carries the rocket to a
height of about 1000 feet. AS it turns
to fall, exposure is made by an electro
pneumatic shutter worked by a small
battery. Directly afterwards para
chute opens, holds the camera thirty
feet above the rocket, and the whole
apparatus falls gently to the ground.
Very distinct pictures seven inches
square are obtained.

A Costly Waterloo Medal.

Mr.. Steward has included in War
Medals and Their History a special
account OF the famous Waterloo medal
OF Pistrucci, which originated from the
desire of George w in 1919 to com
memorate the victory by the issue OF a
specially fine medal FlaXman design
ed it, but Pistrucci, the chief engraver
at the royal mint, refused to cut the
dies and was himself commissioned to
prepare a modelled design, which, be-
ing approved, he was instructed to cut
the dies for fee OF f3,5O0. The dies
were not finished until 1910, and OF the
men who were to receive the medal i'll
gold the Duke OF Wellington was the
only survivor when the first impress
sion was taken.

Deadly Chemical Bombs.

Hydrocyanic acid known as prussic
acid, is so poisonous that mere breath
OF it means instant death. Suphuric-
anhydrid when brought into contact
with the air combines rapidly with
moisture absorbed from the air, pro-
ducing sulphuric acid. Thrown in a
bomb with Just explosive charge enough
to disrupt the bomb and scatter the sui
phuric-anhydrid, the air for large
space about the explosion would be at
once converted into dense fog OF sui
phuric acid. Liquid ammonia, similarly
employed, would instantly so impreg-
nate the atmosphere with ammonia as to
Strangle all persons in the immediate
vicinity. Ammonia is absolutely ire
spirable.

Birds Songs.

A French writer says that notwith-
standing the fact OF their simplicity the
songs OF birds can not be initiated with
musical instruments because OF the I'M
possibility OF reproducing their peculiar
timbre. The notes OF birds, while cor
responding with our musical scale, also
include vibrations occupying the inter
walls between our notes. The duration
OF birds songs is usually very short, two
or three seconds for thrushes and chat
finches, four or five seconds for black
birds, but from two to five minutes for
the lark.

sincerely afraid of COWS. And he has
good reason. The COWS of the half

eyes and charge like locomotive upon

SHAKE OFF THE CLUTCH
OF DANGEROUS RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism may mean not only the
suffering Of the present, but a com.
plete breakdown from which there
may be no recovery.
1t must be borne in mind that Rheu-
matism is blood trouble and In its
early stages, Is not necessarily &C.
companied by pains shooting through
the joints and muscles. nor by swol.
len joints. nor outward indications
beyond slight numbness in the limbs
and pains in the back. This worry fact
may lull the sufferer into believing
that the disease is Of temporary 10
cal nature, caused by slight cold or
sleeping in draught. In many cases
this is but the beginning OF tho dis
ease. which, II not taken In time,
will grow rapidly worse until
the result will be Rheumatism
in its most virulent form. 1t is we'll

that while he knew the man as a pro-

Finally l said, Sir John. Just where
do you place Lee among the generals

particularly how he shot his chin for

BAD EGGS AND THE STAGE.

Very Ancient Custom.
The practice Of hurting bad eggs at
actors who displeased them has been
in vogue with audiences ever since
there has been stage and a dramatic
production. Chinese. Greeks and Ro-
mans ran to this sort of unfragrant
criticism, and two stories told by
collector of odd things connected with
the theater are worth repeating.
A number of New York youths in
the fifties threw number Of bad eggs
at pallid and trembling performer.
He advanced to the edge of the stage.

"Noble sirs. deign to throw me but
one good one-just one. l care not If
it break over me. | shall manage it. |
have eaten naught in two days. Pelt
me with good eggs. beseech you"
The appeal gained him a basket Of
good eggs by way of the back stage.
A man went to Shakespeare's the
alter in the day Of the great bard to
throw bad eggs at an actor he dis
liked. Some one Jostled him unduly.
and he punched the jostler. The jostler
whipped him. however. and finally sat
him down in the bad eggs. which
broke. So the would be egg thrower
was thrown out because of the odor
and called bad egg in the bargain
