INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER
That Now Worn by United States
Army Medical Officers Goes Back
-Four Thousand Years.

The caduceus, which was introduced
In 1902 by Col John Van R. Hoh, N.
c., o. S. A., editor of the Military Sur
geon, as part Of the medical officers
insignia, dates back 1000 years, &c
cording to F. H. Garrison, M. D., o. 8.
A., writing in the Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association. For a num-
Der of reasons the serpent was always
the symbol of medicine in antiquity.
The Babylonians' caduceus, which as
the insignia shows today-two snakes
entwined with wings at the top Of the
staff-occurs in Hittite remains. 1t
stands for an actual serpent god, Mn
gishzida, who as the special messenger
Of Ishtar, was the awakener Of life In
the springtime and the Mesopotamian
prototype Of the Greek Hermes. The
Romans had special functionary, the
.caduceator, who was a sort of peace
commissioner, The caduceus was used
on the title pages of books published
by the famous medical printer, Fro
benius, In AGO to 1927. The wand OF
Mercury" as it Is sometimes called,
was also carried by merchant traders
in ancient times, on excursions where
peaceful negotiations were desired and
they wanted to be known rs neutrals.

Labor Troubles in China.

The $40 a month which the Chinese
coolie with his family drew from the
Chinese government during his period
Of enlistment in the army Is the basis
for the labor disturbance which Is
rocking China at the present time,
says {. c. Thompson of Shanghai in
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Mr.
Thompson explains that prior to the
war the average cOOlie made month
ly wage of ST. to $15, while having
become accustomed to the new stand
ards Of living made possible by the
$40 allotment he declines now to re-
turn to the old basis. Even household
domestics have become affected by
the new unrest and are demanding
more money, he says. Recently be-
cause Of the unsettled conditions there
was strike Of dockworkers in Chi
nese ports which held up all trans
Pacific traffic for considerable time.

DANGER IN CLASS-MINDED MAN

Gov. J. p. Goodrich Of Indiana, in
recent address welcoming returned
world war service men, referring to
the steel strike said he believed many
of the strikers were foreigners who
were unacquainted with the American
principles Of government.
This Is government of laws and
not Of men, or it Is not a government
at ALL" he said. And we have to stand
for obedience to law and respect for
established institutions. You are not
going to see the government torn
down by impious hands, which have
done nothing to build 1t up. The insti-
tutions Of our country are challenged
as never before. The great danger
today is the class-minded man. He
would substitute loyalty to group to
loyalty to the nation.
II believe in collective bargaining
and that men have the right to or
ganize to protect their interests. Some
of these labor leaders, believe. do

Movies Set Distance Record.

Two moving picture records were
broken recently, according to the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine, at the CEN
tenary celebration Of the Methodist
church in Columbus, O. An ordinary
projecting machine, equipped with a
special lens, rapid shutter, and a
150-ampere light, was used to throw
pictures 100 by Is feet, on a screen
$50 feet away from the machine. The
light employed was three times the
strength of those commonly used. 1t
generated so much heat that it was
necessary to operate the cinemato-
graph at great speed to prevent burn
ing the film. The screen on which the
pictures were thrown was lis feet
square.

substitutes for meat By restoring competition in food
stuffs it will make for lower prices

strengthening their monopoly of food products The
meat packers have their private refrigerator cars
which are given specially expedited service by the rail-
ways designed facilitate the transportation OF 1resh
meat The packers have however been loading their re-
figerator cars with large quantities of grocery products
which do not require refrigeration and in this way are
able to best the grocers in competition
The Kenyon Bill would have the railways supply all
necessary equipment and would put the packers private
cars on a common carrier basis This would increase the
