COAST OIL WORKERS STRIKE
Quit Despite Government Efforts To
Prevent Strike.

Quit Despite Government Efforts To
Prevent Strike.
Houston, Texas, Nov. 2.-The strike
Of the oil workers in the Gulf Coast
district of Texas, in spite of efforts
of government conciliatory and
business interests to effect a COM
promise between workers and produc-
ers has gone into effect.
The union men throughout the oil
fields, acting under instructions from
headquarters, left their work at the
time for changing shifts and the men
who work on the morning shift did
not report for duty.
1t is claimed that between 1900 and
5000 are affected.
Union recognition, an eight-hour day
and wage increases sum up the de-
mands of the grievance committee for
the workers. Sixteen production fields
in Texas and Louisiana are affected.
The producing companies late yester-
day afternoon again called Federal
Conciliator Barrett into conference.

"WILL NEVER GIVE UP"
Courageous italian Detachment Sends
Message BY Pigeon.

Paris, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Havas agency from Rome says:
"The most devoted courage and
hardihood is shown by detachments
garrisoning isolated positions. One of
these, belonging to troops operating
between Plezzo and Tolmino, was be-
sieged and completely cut off. 1t sent
out carrier pigeon with the laconic
message: I'VE will never surrender.
The detachment is provided with pro-
visions for IL days, 50 there is every
likelihood of its fulfilling its promise.
The position held is one of prime i'm
portance and it probably will play an
important part in a counter-offen-
sive."

MANY FAMILIES ENROLLED
Food Drive Success Despite Enemy
Plot AGAINST II.

Plot Against 1t.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Pro-German
propaganda spread through many Mid
die Western states against the sign
ing of food pledges, has resulted in
aiding instead Of retarding the food
administrations campaign, according
to information sent to the admins
tration headquarters.
The reported propaganda, 1t was
stated, was arousing the workers to
renewed efforts and enabling them to
convince many householders that the
movement must have great merit to
arouse an active fight against it by
German agents and sympathizers.
Incomplete returns to the food adj
ministration showed that about 3,00O,-
900 families had been enrolled at tho
close of the third day of food pledge
week. The total largely represented
the efforts Of workers in centers Of
population in 81 states as no reports
came from smaller towns or country
districts.

CANNED FOOD PRICES LOWER
To Come Down At Once BY Hoover's
Orders.

Washington, Nov. Am immediate
drop in prices of canned vegetables
is predicted by the food administra-
tor as result of putting into opera
ton the license system for wholesale
dealers. Canned goods, it was said,
can be sold at less than the present
market prices.
Dealers charging more than a reas.
enable profit are liable to forfeiture OF
their licenses to do business.
Retailers, too, will be controlled to
an extent. Those charging more than
the food administration considers just
will find their supplies cut off in
orders to wholesalers to cease furnish
ing them with goods.
The food administration yesterday
warned dealers who have not applied
for license blanks that they will be
charged with violations of the food
law IL they continue to sell goods.

Walking ChaIkIine.

The same sensations, minus the al
cohol, experienced by an intoxicated
person who is trying to walk in a
straight line or on a narrow sidewalk
which is only thirty inches wide, can
be had by anyone who takes the
trouble to draw straight line on the
floor and then look at the line through
pair Of opera glasses in reversed
position, says the Popular Science
Monthly. After the glasses are focused
try to walk on the line. You will find
1t impossible to follow it closely. The
line will look like an ink scratch on a
surface miles away, and the closer you
look and try to follow the line the
more vexed your vision becomes, and
as result your feet wander from side
to side, getting farther away from the
line all the time.
Even with the naked eye 1t is diff
cult to walk the chalk" for any dis
tance without growing disxy and stag
yering suspiciously. 44 ,~ ,,r-,.s

pend upon the temperature and can
be supplied by proper heating and
ventilating system.
The opening of windows while it
admits the fresh air, often causes
drafts which are uncomfortable, not
to say injurious. Where number of
people are occupied in room it is
often a cause Of subiecting one or two
to exposure if the windows are opened
to secure ventilation. This can be
avoided by an ample supply of warm
ed air.
Numerous devices, more or less ex-
pensive, have been placed on the mar
ket but are not always satisfactory.
The most economical and at the same
time probably the most efficient ven-
tilating device is one made of glass or
wood eight or ten inches in height and
made the width of the sash. This
should be placed under the sash with
slant from the bottom to the top at
an angle of As degrees, leaving an
opening at the top covered with cheese
cloth.
Ventilators of this sort are so SIM
pie that they can be made at small
cost anywhere and the covering can be
readily replaced. They are suitable
for office and school room, living
rooms and bed rooms. They permit
reasonable ventilation without too
great loss of heat and prevent that
stufiiness of atmosphere which is dam
gerous to health and destructive to
real comfort during the winter months.
This device leaves an opening between
the upper and lower sash through
which the used air of the room may
escape.

gerry from the time of Galen, the
variety Of instruments used increased
to the number of 300. Among examples
of these now in the museums of Rome
and Naples are needles, hollow probes,
pincers, cauteries, bistOuris, lancets
and scissors. For almost thousand
years the treatment of wounds, frac-
lures and dislocations varied by blood
letting, remained unchanged
Under the Byzantines, medical serv-
ice, including every appliance for the
treatment of disease and wounds, was
well organized, cavalry and infantry

it was to bring the wounded out Of
action.

Good Family Dishes.
Corn meal, if well cooked, makes
one of the most nutritious and econo-
mical of breakfast dishes and if served
with good baked apple it is break
fast sufficiently nutritious for a grow
ing child. When cooking corn meal
mix it with cold water to the consis-
tency of pouring, then pour into ket-
tie Of boiling salted water, enough TO
cook at least three hours at the SIM
mering point. See that the meal rap
idly boils then set back to simmer.
When cooked with plenty of water
each grain of corn meal will stand out
by itself just as does rice when well
cooked. A fireless cooker is an ideal
place for this kind of cooking, yet the
evaporation of water is limited so that
must be lessencd.

Surgery an Ancient Craft

Surgery was already an art when
medicine was only phase of super
stition, the earliest record of surgery
having been found among the Egyp-
tians in period about 1000 B. G. In
European museums are instruments,
Iancets, tweeZers, iron rods for cauter-
ization and other things used by Egyp-
tian practitioners.
Jewish and Greek surgery immedi
ately followed that of the Egyptians.
and surgery was held in high esteem
among the Indians at remote age, as
proved by their ancient proverb, "a
physician who is no surgeon is like a
bird with but one wing" Instruments
now on exhibition at Madras, Calcutta
and Alexandria afford evidence of
their skill.
In Greece surgery had attained high
proficiency long before the day of Hip
pocrates, and in one of his works is
found complete treatise on the physi-
clans operating room, surgical instru-
ments and appliances, together with
instruction in the correct method of
use; on the proper posing of the pa
uent, and the use of water and band
ages. Then follows a description of
various wounds, from which it would
appear that hemorrhages We're arrest
ed then, as now, with cold compress
or styptics, while wounds were healed
by primary union or Suppuration.
Lesion of the joints, injuries to the
spine and various kinds of disocations
are dealt with. Hippocrates surgery
treats instructively on fractures and
contusions of the skull. For fractures
the standard operation was trephin-
ing, which, in the view of the writer,
should be performed as speedily as
possible.
With the development of Roman sur
