GET TOGETHER FOR
PERMANENT PROSPERITY

Every man and woman engaged IN
American factories, mills and mines,
whether they know English or speak
Ii. are naturalized or intend to be-
come citizens, have a direct interest
in maintaining. industrial prosperity.
When times are good, all workers
should not only be thrifty in habit and
lay up little something for possible
rainy days, but they should do all they
can to keep'the good times with us.
Simply because your language is DIFF
ferent from that of the foreman, over
seer, superintendent, manager or owner
of the plant IN which you earn living,
is no excuse for misunderstanding your
own common interest in prosperity by
hating your partner in your own in
dustry or listening TO and following
the gospel of dissension and violence
which selfish agitators SO often preach.
Do not blindly follow the man who
tells you how hard your lot is. Often
he is doing so untruthfully and for the
purpose Of getting you TO contribute
membership money for his own support

having the plant or industry successful.
The more successful your plant or
industry becomes, the more room for
you to grow with it there will be. 1t
should be your feeling, then, that you
will not do as little as you may find it
convenient to do, but to do Just as
much as you possibly can do, and then
reasonably expect to share in the re-
wards that always come to the efficient
worker.
Do not be clock watcher in the fac
tory. Those who wait for hours to
strike or whistles to blow and soldier
at the bench, machine or In the Office

traced the origins of ancient Greek civilization to the
Island of Crete, and it in Crete that the famous
labyrinth of King Mnos, whose reproduction has just
been found among early American antiquities, existed.
In Crete too the Gave of Dicte, revered in the
earliest times the birthplace of Zes the father of all
the Greek gods. The actual altar which commemoraed
the god birth in this is of the many wonderful
discoveries which have been made in years by Pro-
fcssors Hogarth and Evans the English archaeoogsts
In Crete arose the Homeric civilization of Greece,
which entirely distinct from that of the Greek hstor

famous Greeks who usually spoken of representa-

between the historic period and the age described by
Homer The civilization of the earlier period entirely

To this earlier period belonged the story of Paris and

King Minos the founder of the Minoan dynasty was,
according to fable the father of the monstrous Mnotau
the mar-headed bull. The monster kept in labyrinth
i'll the royal palace and year the Athenians
compelled to send maidens and seven youth as
tribute to the monster
One of the most beautiful of ancient Greek legends
tells us how the splendid Athenian youth Theseus, with
the help of Aradne daughter of King Npos slew the
Minotaur and found his way out of the labyrinth thus
saving his countrymen from the cruel tribute to which
they had been subjected
This fable must be regarded as an echo of the subjec
ton in which the Mnoan kings kept some of the people
or the mainland 1t is certain however, that pictures Of
bulls and OF boys and girls fighting bulls constantly
among the decorations of the buildings of the Minoan
period and it is supposed that Athenian captves may
have been forced to sacrifice their lives this sport

Academy Natural Sciences, Science
Hon. Commissioner U. s. Department Agriculture, Etc.
A American scholar, Harold Sellers Cotton of the
n University of Pennsylvania, has seriously raised
- the suggestion that the ancient Greeks were in
communication with ancient, pre- Columbian America. AS
his researches relate to the in America of symbol of
the Crean period of Greek civilization they may lead
the conclusion that the heroes of the mysterious prehs
torc Homeric age which originated in Crete early
voyagers to America.
Professor Cotton has found striking evidence that the
labyrinth design associated with the horrible legendary
Mnoaur of the Minoan age familiar to
Southwestern Indians from the earliest times The
similarity between this labyrinth design ancient
Crean and certain Indian relics Of the Southwest
is perfect that it to exclude all possibility of
accidental coincidence.
The Pennsylvania scholar was led to this discovery
by article in the American Anthropoogst entitled
"a Fictitious Ruin in the ella Valley, Arizona by Dr.
j. Walter Fewkes the noted archaeoogst Of the Smith
sonan Institution. In this article DR.. Fewkes pic
ture of the labyrinth symbol it had been first observed
and copied by eighteenth century spanard, scratched
in the sand by Pima Indian The point of DR.. Fewkess
article that this symbol did represent the plan of
ruin previously supposed but used in way
game by the Indians called the house of Tcuhu
1t Immediately occurred to Professor Cotton that he
had the same diagram the of silver coin
Of Knossos in Crete of the Greek period b. c. 200 to g.
The figure represented the Minoan Labyrinth and has
been found coins and in inscriptions in Crete back to
the earliest period comparison of the Indian symbol
with that the coin showed that they identical in
every respect AS the Cretan design represents
find his way it is necessarily complicated figure 1t is
unquesonaby very astonishing that this Cretan design
should be found in early American Indian records dupli
Gated down to every ne every intricate and every
opening
In the Indian figure is shown in accompanying
diagrams there is entirely separate from the labyrinth
little addition which does not appear on the Greek coin.
This addition is small drawing of two upright pillars It
may not be without significance that these two pillars,
forming part Of kind of altar also frequently
in early Cretan Inscriptions.
DR.. Fewkes points out that the symbol early
known the Pima Indians, the diagram in slightly
modified FORM appears scratched the adobe wall of the
ancient Casa Grande ruin among Indian photographs.
Therefore it certain that it existed among the pre-
Columbian Indians and could not have been introduced by
the Spanish discoveries by the old Spanish traveller in
his manuscript.
We therefore forced to of these three concl
sions 1. That the symbol originated in Europe and
carried America in prehistoric times. g. That it
carried from America in prehistoric times g. That it
arose Independently In prehistoric times
