The tailors' strike, however con-

and the strike.
"A wailing for Columbus, with
his strike and his fallacious Lok-

mence which surprised his friends.
There was a dearth for Jewish
western emigration, and by the aid
Of the Western settlement pro-
motors, Moshe Loksh one day land
ed in Los Angeles.
He sought Jewish eating house,
and was pointed out a Rathskeller
bearing the much coveted Kosher
inscription upon it,
And Moshe Loksh drew breath
when, seated at one Of the tables
the walters shrill voice, in his
Kosher menu called out Lokshen
as one of the dishes being served.
A new inspiration seemed to be
manifested by the eager immigrant.
When the dish arrived MOshe, with
his usual ardent piousness. uttered a
Broche aloud, in order to hear the
responding Amen from his core
ligious neighbors who were at that
time partaking their meals at the
same table
But to his great disappointment
his brethren, instead of responding,
burst forth into a hilarious laughter
which caused their food to throttle,
their eyes to bulge out with tears
of joy. and their bodies to sway to
and fro, from sheer excitement and
merriment. Moshe, meanwhile,
after the Broche fulfilled the sacred
duty of eating his Lokshen, regard
less of the surroundings.
And 10! a peculiar flavor hereto
fore unknown to his palate, seemed
to fill his aroused senses with re-
luctance and disgust
Urged by curiosity, another
spoonful was glutted down by the
immigrant, as though, with an aim
of ascertaining it's real tone, then
holding his head down with a ges-
ture, he again swallowed the stuff,
then again and again.
Suddenly his eyes turned to-
wards his gay companions, who,
with faces red from laughter point
ed to the frightened Moshe Loksh
with their fingers toward printed
placard on the wall which, in red
letters, read as follows:

the Greek verb means to rub. We
used to say of crazy person that he
was loft his trolley" And the word
delirious meant substantially the
same thing in an earlier stage of civ
ilization. 1t came from the Latin
words de and Ira, which means off
or out of your furrow. The word
precocious means precooked, or, as
we say, half-baked. Capricious
means like a goat, and the slang cor
relatives here are innumerable.
Imagine some worthy, refined and
graduated soul, being offended by a
young upstart, and responding some
what as follows: sit seems to me
you are a trif1e capricious. I would
hardly expect any one to inveigh
against me in this delirious manner,
delivering such diatribe. Is it es-
sential to your precocity to insult
your elders?" And then suppose we
translated this somewhat according
to the genealogical dictionary: 'You

sail into me like that and then rub it
in! Just because you're half-baked
you needn't hink you can jump on

Slides in Gaillard
Cut Now Eliminated

Panama, Dec. 20.-The slides in
Gaillard Cut which have been menac-
ing navigation have been overcome.
To-day the channel Is in better shape
than it has ever been before. For a
minimum width Of $50 feet it is 35
feet deep, and it is at least 80 deep
clear across the original prism, 800
feet wide. The slides at Cucaracha
and Culerbra which have bulged for
ward as If to smother the waterway
under their mass have been dredged
away until they look fiat and impo-
tent. Barring some unforeseen de-
velopment. such as new break in a
bling of the great cliffs Of breccia at
Gold Hill or Contractors Hill, the in
terruptions Of traffic by the slides are
done.
The engineers in charge will not
commit themselves to prophecy but
they say the Cut is in the best shape
it was ever in, and the fact that they
have taken away all but three of the
dredges and cut out the Sunday and
holiday work Is strong indication of
their confidence in the situation. The
three dredges are carrying the ex-
cavation back of the original channel
line in order to establish defensive
zone to prevent encroachments on the
channel. Much work is yet to be
done to completed the channel to it's

COLOGNE DRINKS
take PLACE OF
VODKA TIPPLERS
Russians Also Using Furnl-
ture Polish as Sub
stitute.

The three substitutes for vodka
which are most widely usedSin Russia
are eau de cologne, furniture polish
and denatured alcohol.
Cologne is not very popular. In the
first place, it is very expensive just
now, and secondly, no matter what
favoring extracts are added to it, it is
impossible to disguise the taste Of
the perfume.
Furniture polish is more popular,
but is much harder to obtain. 1t is
impossible to buy it at present unless
one presents a warrant from the po-
lice station that the buyer really is a
cabinet-maker or a carpenter.
The polish is distilled SO as to sepa-
rate the alcohol; sometimes it is
merely stirred with a fiat stick until
the shellac adheres to the latter.
Far more widely used and far
more deleterious in its effect is the
denatured spirit. This is not wood

LIBRARY CURATOR
Miss Belle Greene of Nor
gan Library Remark
able Woman

At 33 East 36th street stands the
most beautiful building in New York
the most beautiful in America,
some critics aver, while. one architect
of note enthusiastically declares that
it is the most beautiful, indeed the
only perfect building of the past CEN
fury. In contrast to the solid ugli-
ness of some of the old. mansions of
the neighborhood, the Morgan Libra
ry is truly satisfying sight.
New Y orkers know the building as
the magnificent whim of very rich
man, but not enough know that it's
purpose was as broad and beautiful as
the building itself is. Just what the
late J. Pierpont Morgan meant the
library to be and to mean to Ameri-
ca was explained by Miss Greene in
the wonderful west room Of that SUI
,perlatively beautiful building.
"Mr. Morgan's ROOM" as it has al
ways been called and still is, for the
present owner loves books almost
more than his father, and, like the
father, spends a great deal of his time
there, while with accumulated knowl-
edge and rare taste he is constantly
adding important items to the collec-
ton.
From the first it was quite evident
to all those associated with Mr.. Nor
gan that the mere luxury Of possess
sion was not in any sense his motive
for making this collection says Miss
Greene. cit seemed to him neces-
sary and indeed patriotic thing to
bring to America the original sources
needed by students in this country SO
that they need no longer go abroad to
pursue their researches in the Brit
ish Museum, the Bibliotheque Nation
ale or the Vatican. This library is one
Of the most important contributions
ever made to- the development of real
culture in America. 1t was not a
spectacular gift, but it was very fine
and very necessary one"
It is rather gratifying to feminists
to reflect that no near sighted and
anemic masculine scholar was Mr.
Morgan's helper in the long task of
collecting the library treasures, but
woman, and a young and very pref
ty one at that. It is impossible to
think of the Morgan library without
thinking simultaneously of Belle da
Costa Greene, who has been identified
with it since the beginning; she arriv-
ed with the bricks and mortar and has
been there ever since, except when the
exigencies of collecting have necessi-

tated yearly trips to Europe to make
new purchases.
To call Miss Greene the Morgan IL
brarian'' would be like calling George
Washington a farmer; she is, as he
was, but she is SO very much more
than that. She is both an art con-
noisseur and business woman, ar
ranging most and consummating
many Of the Morgan deals in books
and are objects.
Even before she became associated
with the Morgan collections, Miss
Greene was an authority on manu-
scripts and early editions and she had
become SO through 10 years of close
study. If she enjoys the distinction
Of holding one of the few quite rare
and wonderful jobs in the whole world
it is because she is one of the closest

there was no Morgan library for the

GAME WARDENS WILL
BE REORCANIZED
Uniferm Game Law, COnfers With
Men Interested in Campaign.

The conference arranged sometime
ago between the members of the Con-
servation Commission and men inter-
ested in the preservation of game was
held yesterday at the office of the conn
mission, in the Munsey Building, Bal
timore. Chairman Kemp and Commits
sioners Killian and White. and DR.. M.
Llewellyn Raney, DR.. B. Holly Smith.
Warden James P. Curley. State Game
uty Game Warden D. G. Smart, and
others were present. The conference
lasted from 10 O'Clock until 1.
The conferees discussed at consider
able length the conflict between State
and Federal game laws, and it was de-
cided that a campaign of education be
inaugurated in favor of a uniform State
game law, such as nearly passed the
last session of the Legislature. 1t as
the practically unanimous opinion of
those present that such law was es-
sential to adequate preservation and
propagation of game,
There also was thorough discus
sion of the sale of plumage, and of the
need for reorganization OF the State
system deputy game WafuenS. ne
garding the latter. the Conservation
Commission decided, following the con-
ference, to revoke all outstanding COM
missions and to request those now
holding commissions and desiring to
continue in the work to file applica-
tions for reappointment. In the past
little or no record was kept of those
appointed deputies, and it Is said that
there are about 500 commissions out
standing. Nothing is known of many
of those to whom the commissions
We're issued.
The commission has determined to
| have made uniform badges for all it's
employees. These badges will indicate
whether the wearer is a crab inspec-
tor. oyster inspector, game warden. or
employe of the oyster Navy.
Most of the efforts of the Conserva-
ton Commission now are directed to-
ward gathering the loose ends of the
several departments which were merg-
ed into the commission-the Shellfish
Commission. the Oyster Navy, the Fish
Commissioners for the Eastern and
Western Shores and the State Game
Warden. Once that has been done, the
commission will begin general work
of coordination and modernization; in
fact, that work already is under way
in some measure,
