Ancient Delphi.

Ancient Delphi was Il small town in
Greece on the southern slope Of Mount
Parnassus, where poets were supposed
to draw their inspiration. The ancient
town got its name from its founder
DelphuS, son of Apollo, and there was
Il temple Of Apollo there, where prophe-
cies were made; hence the phrase Del
phian or Delphne oracleS. A fountain
called the Castallan spring, supposed
to be freQucnted and patroni2ed by
poets, was situated on the mountain
side near Delphi. \ portion of the site
of the ancient town is now occupied by
a village called KaStri. and interesting
excavations have been made there in

BRITISH ARE WARNED THAT
MAN FAMINE IS THREATENED

London, Eng May IF the
British empire is to be kept together
infant life must be preserved This
note of warning from the head Of the
Birmingham Maternity hospital in con-
nection with this statement that "as
result Of the war there were between
1000 and 5000 fewer babies in Bir-
mingham last year" has been re-
echoed by the newspapers and the
clergy throughout the country. At
tention Of Englishmen is again called
len to the lowest figures on record
and that at the same time the infant
mortality rate is going up.
A man shortage greater than any
England has known in its history is
threatening the country. says the
London Times medical correspondent
who proceeds to compare the condi-
tons here with those in Germany,
where he adds, owing to the far
lation jumped from $4,000, 900 in 1875
to $4,000. 900 in 1905"
THE world at this hour is having
an object lesson in the meaning Of
birth Statistics continues the cores
pondent. THE Germans swelIed their
total population not only by births
but also by the prevention Of infant
death, which is one OF the greatest
works landing TO the credit OF a scien-
tific people.
"As a people we must set our house
in order lest I'm the days to come we
find it tenantless and so become a
prey TO foes who have shown a wiser
foresight and a truer appreciation Of
values than ourselves"

BIC YEAR FOR
UNION LABOR
Many Increases in Wages
Granted; Labor Laws
Passed During Year.

Washington, D. C., May 1.-Organized
labor received more in the year ending
with May in increased wages, shorten
ing OF hours and legislation than ever
before in its history, according to Off
Gals OF the American Federation Of
Labor. Wage advances were general
the country over in virtually every line
OF industry and laws benefiting labor
were put on the statute books OF every
state IN the union except five
Wage increases were greatest in the
metal trades many OF which were slim
ulated by war orders Cotton manu-
4dcturlhg was the only main industry
Whlch did not grant substantial in
creases. The metal trades TOO claimed
the greatest number of strikes during
me year, though many plants increased
the pay OF their men and cut working
hours voluntarily.
Wage Increases Large.
wage increases during the year have
ranged from five to fifteen per cent.
NO statistics have been complied by
either the department Of labor or the
American Federation of Labor. but re-
ports coming in to both tell of what is
Delng accomplished in manufacturing
plants in all parts Of the country.
The department of labor puts the
country's 1915 strikes at 1900, about
300 more than the year before. About
two-thirds OF them were for wage in
creases or decreased working hours and
most OF them were successful.
The causes OF strikes and lockouts
were numerous. In a total of 1900
strikes 800 were for wage increases:
1913 for shorter working day; 90 be-
cause of wage cuts; so because OF dis
charge Of union men; 40 because Of en-
ployment of non-union men and 20 for
open or closed shop
Labor Laws Enacted.
The most significant feature OF the
years labor legislation is given by la
Dor leaders as enactment of workmen's
compensation laws. The growth Of the
Industrial commission plan is considered
OF great importance also. This plan
unites in one authority the admins
tration Of workmen's compensation, fac
tory inspection and other labor laws.
It was adopted during the year by Colo
RADIO, Indiana, Montana, Wyoming and
New York
Laws relating to the employment OF
women and children were passed by a
number OF states. Arkansas and Kan
sas enacted minimum wage laws and
California, Massachusetts and Washing
ton amended minimum wage laws al
ready in force. Eleven states now
have minimum wage legislation. Ark
ansas and Pennsylvania passed child
labor legislation during the year.
