BOYS ARE GETTING
NEEDED EXPERIENCE
Write Interesting Letters Of
Everyday Events In
Tenting Life

The bows at the front will OCCASION
ally write interesting news, not espe-
eially military news, but just what hap
mems to come under their observation.
For instance:
"On the Fourth of July when all the
stores were closed in San Diego, the
saloons were wide open and the bars
crowded. As far as l can see, San Diego
is real live wide open town, but 1
suppose that all California cities seem
more wide open since l came from a
dry territory"
Here is something about the border
while the boys were at San Ysidro:
"By a recent ruling, U. S. soldiers are
forbidden TO cross the border under a
penalty of six months in the federal
penitentiary, so you may be sure we all
fight shy of that border. But the
Mexican soldiers can come to the store
near us. I have talked with some and
they are all very friendly"
Here is something about real luxury:
"Just had to go down to the store to
carry some ice cream up here to the
eamp. 80 guess we will oe over-fed to-
day. Later: We were not over-fed.
The ice cream was for the battalion
canteen to be sold to us fellows at five
cents per eat.'
Drilling is one thing and going to
fight is another. This is how the cor
respondent feels about it: "There is
a rumor that they viii keep US here
for some time for drilling. So many OF
the boys enlisted only for the emergency
which seemed to exist and they will feel
highly imposed on IL they keep us here
drilling and for moving picturs."
While at San Ysidro, the boys were
useful in maintaining the prestige of
the United States A soldier writes:
HThere are lot of Mexicans prowline
thieves who harrass the ranchers. Last
night rancher by the name of Chris
jefferson, who used to live near Sa'
lem and who now lives about two miles
from here, was accosted by some Mex
leans who attempted to take some of his
cattle. They beat and cut up his son
but a small scouting party was sent
from our camp and they arrested five
Mexicans and made them paw for the
raid. When the officers with only q
few men in sight demanded pay for the
raid they baked but as soon as the rest
of the men were called, the Mexicans
came across without a murmur. i guess
that is the main reason we are here, to
stop this raiding of the farmers as well
as to assure the rest of the greasers

Story of a Dogs Jaw.

The strength of dogs jaws and
teeth were never more explified than
in the case Of Ross-shire gamekeeper,
whose collie was unfortunate enough
to be caught in steel vermin trap.
The gamekeeper, gun in hand, was
soon on the scene, but in in the short
time the dog had become quite infuria-
ted with pain. Having nothing suit
able for muzzling the animal and fear
ing to place the foot upon the trap
spring with the dogs jaws free, the
placed the gun barrels in
the dogs mouth and neld them there
while easing the spring. With vi
cious snap the teeth closed on the cold
steel ere he regained his freedom. The
barrels were holed through--an almost
incredible performance-and were ex'
amined shortly after.-London Graphic.

Crown Only Can
Save Easement

London, July ls.-Roger Easement Is
appeal from his conviction on the
charge of high treason, for which he
was sentenced to death today, was dis
missed.
The court of criminal appeal an
nounced its decision after listening to
arguments by Alexander Sullivan
Easements counsel, who contended
that the instructions to the jury IN
Easements trial were inaccurate and
that the actions complained of in the
indictment did not constitute a statu
tory offense.
Unless the crown commntes the death
sentence, Easement viii die on the
gallows. The justice dismissed the ap
peal without hearing counsel for the
crown.

The Gordian Knot.

The famous Gordian Knot was made
of leather taken from some part of
the harness belonging to the chariot Of
Gordius, king of Phrygia. II seems
that this knot was so tied that the
ends of the leather thong were not Wis
ible, hence the difficulty in loosening
it. Many must have tried to unite it,
for its fame as "sticker" at last

The Holland Primrose.

There is plant in Holland known
as the evening primrose, which grows
to height of five or six feet and bea n,
q profusion of large yellow flowers, so
brilliant that they attract Immediate
attention, even at great distane, but
the chief popularity about the plant is
the fact that the Flowers, which open
just before sunset, burst into bloom SO
suddenly that they give one the i'm.
preston of some magical agency. A
man who has seen this sudden bloom
ing says it is just as if some one had
touched the land with wand and thus
covered IL all at once with golden

A committee of workers and manu-
facturers to act as an adJus sment
board to establish piece work wage
standards.
s. Sub-contractors to be maintained
as union shops on the same OASIS as
the MANUFACTURERS shop is run
What the workers. object to most is
that the agreement, if they had adopt
ed it, would throw the burden of main
tanning the union standards entirely
upon them, and that they would have
to resort to strikes to correct viola
lions of even minor points OF the
agreement.
On the other hand, even as it
stands, the agreement is generally
considered a victory for the union, fol
it was the purpose of the manufac'
turers in locking cut the workers to
break, the union-a matter in which
they signally failed. Public opinion
which supported the strikers since
the lockout began, and which was
with them all during the three months
and more of suffering and privatlon
the cloak makers were undergoing to
bring the struggle to victorious ter
mination, is still on their side.
AS the situation stands now, the
strike is on in full force. Pickets are
on their jobs, financial support is be.
ing enlisted by the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union for
the strikers, and the end will come
only through another conference with
the manufacturers and the drafting Of
new agreement, it is believed.

3. The agreement, while giving the
preferential union shop to the worker
which means that union men must be
employed in preference to non-union
men, other things being equal, does
not provide. for the dismissal OF
workers who join the union to get a
job, and then drop from their mem
bership. This is one of the most seri
Gus phases of the matter the union
is confronted with.
The sentiment generally expressed
by the strikers, when in street demon.
STATIONS and hall meetings on the day
after the draft was made public they
voiced the prevailing attitude on the
contract, was that the gains did not
justify the concessions made to the
manufacturers. The chief things the
union won under the tentative agree
ment were:
1. The unrestricted right to strike,
right which under the instrumental
ties of Cancellation Of the protocol
they had given up while that peace
protocol was in force.
2. The 49-hour work week.
8. An increase in wages for week
workers averaging 6 per cent.
4. Slightly increased wages to
serve as the basis for piece workers.
