Coal PriOrities

I'm view of the fact that the min

WAR RISK INSURANCE.

An investigation of the war risk
insurance bureau by representa-.
tive of the American Legion Weekly,
official organ of the American Lee
gion, convinced the Weekly that PEI
sons who have dropped their war RISK
insurance should reconsider and give
the bureau, under its new director,
an opportunity TO live up to some of
the promises made but not fulfilled
by the previous executives "Of the
4,539, O4S policies written under the
war risk insurance act,' says the
Weekly, "3,94S,00, or about ST per
cent of the whole, have lapsed since
the armistice'
The volume of business done by
the bureau was so much greater THAI
expected when the law was passed
that the 20 clerks who tried to keen
its affairs in order We're swamped
by tons of unified documents before
the government realized the true
magnitude of the task. This initial
blunder accounted for the failure of
thousands of allotments to reach
their claimants, and for the failure
OF thousands of owners of war risk
polcles to get a reply to questions
regarding their status. 1t is no Won
der that in its condemnation of tn.
bureau the public has been emphatic
But this does not affect the funda
mental soundness of the law or it,

HELPING THE CENSUS.

Because everyone is busy and thern
is a great deal Of work at good
wages. Lamar Williamson. census
supervisor. is having a great deal Of
difficulty in finding census enumera-
tors for Jefferson county,.
Our citizens must not LET this mat
ter go by without their attention. On
the ealibre Of men who take il, de-
ponds the next census. If the enun1-
orators are inefficient the census viii
not give this section Justice. For
ten years the census will stand as the
official data on Pine Bluff, whether
it is correct or incorrect. It is an
thing-the taking Of this
census, and more depends upon It's
than the average man
believes.
If, through Indifference, we allow
the census to be taken here by men
who are Incompetent, inefficient or
who will slight their work we will do
an irreparable damage to the city.
The Chamber of Commerce has
taken the matter up and is going to
endeavor rte get the proper men.
When business men are asked for
the loan of their employees for this
purpose, they should readily consent.
They should also see to it tina THE
men who are offered for this work
are capable and willing.

John Fl. Fergerson, president 0
the Baltimore, (Md.) Federation 0
Labor, recently enunciated The fol
lowing bit of wisdom:
No program of betterment
will prove reasonably effective
without a reform in the spirit of
both capital and labor. The la
borer must come to realize that
he owes his employer and society
an honest days work in return
for a fair wage, and that condi-
tions can not be substantially
improved until he roots out the
desire to get a maximum of re-
turn for minimum of service.
The capitalist must likewise get
a new viewpoint. He needs to
learn the long forgotten truth
that wealth is stewardship, that
profit making is not the basic
justification of business enter
prises, and that there are such
things as fair profits, fair inter
est and fair prices. Above and
before all, we must cultivate
and strengthen within his mind
the truth which many of his
class have already begun to
grasp; namely, that the laborer,
is human being, not merely an
instrument of production, and
that the laborer's right to a de-
cent livelihood is the first moral
charge upon industry.
There ought to be more John Fer
gersons among the leaders of organ
lied labor, and it is up to the RAM
and file of labor to put them there
The majority of members of the un
ion hold the same view as espresso
so clearly by Mr. Fergerson, but TIL
is not the view of the foreign radica
the lazy man or the talkative agen
whose sole ambition seems to be t
create dissatisfaction in order tina
he may induce the workers to believ
there's necessity for the rake off
he gets from their wages.
With the worker and the employee
getting together along the lines la
down by Mr. Fergerson, and with tn
agitator eliminated, quarrels betwee
labor and employer will cease.

VIOLIN ALWAYS THE SAME
For Centuries Shape and Substance Of
That Tuneful Instrument Have
Not Been Altered.

Even in this age of hustle and
change, some few of the old standbys
remain unchanged, but at that it Is
rather startling to realize that the vio-
lin. probably the best loved of all mu-
steal Instruments, has remained virtu-
ally unchanged in shape or substance
for three centuries. In that time the
harpsichord, lutte and spinet have pass
ed away, the harp has been improved,
the piano has been invented and de-
yeioped, but the violin, which took a
hundred years to assume its present
form. since the days of the great Stra-
dwarf, the worlds most famous VIC
lin maker. has remained unchanged.
The violin is popularity supposed to
date from the days of the ancient In
dams, but the present instrument had
Its beginning back in the days of the
troubadours, who used musical boxes
called violes or guital fiddles. And as
the years went by the little violes were
improved. The shape was altered; bit
by bit the instrument changed. Now
a bridge was added; now waist;
openings on either side of the bridge
were added.
And from 1860 to 176O the violin in
dustry rose to its greatest achieve
ments in the developments of Amati,
Guarnerl. and Stradivari, Italian VIC
lin makers living In the town Of Gre
mona. Since their time there has been
no change, and the finest and most |
priceless musical instrument of today
IS Stradivarius violin, made three
ago by the master craftsman
Stradivari in Cremona.

ORIGIN OF DooR-kNocKERs
Ample Proof That They Antedats
Western Civilization by Many
Hundreds Of Years.

The origin Of oor-knockers Is al
most lost In obscurity, and their devel
oPment from mere articles of utility ia
objects OF art has been long, slow
process Of evolution, covering centu.
ries and antedating western civAiza-
tion by many hundreds Of years.
The first general use Of knockers
that Is positively known was among
the ancient Greeks, who probably
ADOPTED them from the Egyptians. We
are told that the Greeks considered
1t q breach Of good manners to enter
a house without warning the inmates,
and that the Spartans gave this notice
by shouting their arrival, while the
Athenians announced themselves by
using the knocker Its introduction
doubtless came at the time when doors
superseded hangings, for the purpose
OF insuring greater safety or privacy.
In the Greek houses of the betfer
CLASS porter was in constant attend
ance at the door to admit visitors.
Slaves were usually employed In this
capacity, and were chained to the door
posts to prevent their wandering and
Sinking the monotony OF the duty,
and In order to awaken them a short
bar of iron was fastened to the door
by chain, to be used as rapper by
those desiring entrance to the house.
1t Is said that this strictly utilltarl-
an rapper, as it was first called, was
often wrenched from the door to be
used as weapon of offense by visitors
who were not friendly disposed toward
The householder. A later development
was direct consequence of this mis-
use, the next type being in the form
Of heavy ring fastened by strong
lamp or plate to the door, thus serv- |
ng the double purpose Of knocker and
handle.
From Greece the custom was trans
erred to the Romans, and with the
Western trend of early civilization to
Yearly every country of Europe The
Introduction of knockers to England,
here together with Italy and Ger
AMY they have attained the greatest
rtistic development, was no doubt due
the Roman conquest of western Eu-
ope and Britain.-Architectu
