REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been FIattered, But at Least He
Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, in excusing himself from max
ing speech on the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote at
q luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. It
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by abiding frankly to his
lack Of oratorical gifts. After he had
finished a man pushed forward, grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said:
Senior, I've been a lifelong oppo-
nent of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton 1 shall vote for you"
"Thank you" said Costa, much graf
flied. MAY ask the particular rea-
son for your change Of viewsT

ROLL STEEL FOR $215 WEEK
Many Workers in st. Louis Mills Az.

cial Says.

st. Louis.-Rollers employed at the
st. Louis and Granite City plants Of
the National Enameling and Stamping
company are making as much as $215
a week, working eight hours a day, an
official of the company said.
He explained that rollers were paid
on tonnage basis, and that such fig
ure was unusual, but estimated that
many of the IT'S rollers employed in
the two plants average $4,000 to 5000
year.
Rolling steel Is one Of the forms Of
labor requiring the highest degree of
skill, although men sometimes serve
their apprenticeship In three or four
years. The work consists of superin-
tending the heating of steel bars that
are to be rolled, adjusting the rolls
and feeding the steel into them.

with no response from the Russians,
President Wilson seems to have de-

war to a close. He cheered up the
country immensely by calling into con-
