English Women Cause
Industrial Revolution

LONDON, July 15.-The report Of
the war cabinet committee on women
i'm industry records the history of a
change in the British social and eco
nomic system so great that 1t is de,
scribed as IAN industrial revolutions"
The change began in the "nineties"
with the development of automatic
machinery. This brought women into
the machine shops, but in very small
numbers because the rate of pay for
women was less than half that of the
men doing the same work. Women's
physiological disadvantages were
generally regarded, right up to the
time of the war. as a tremendous dis
paragement of their industrial value.
The war has changed all that. In
July, 1874, the number of women
employed on metals, machines, etc.
was 172, 900; ducng the war it rose to
$4,000. The main reason why the
change is regarded as an Industrial
revolution lies IN the fact that wom-
ems pay for this work has been more
than trebled, and they work today on
the same footing as men. Hence it
is supposed that women will remain
In industry.
With the signing of the armistice
and the return Of the men to the
workshops it was thought that the

Mr.. Willard was the un-
fortunate gentleman of the

returns put somewhat differ
ent face on affairs.
Financially speaking and fl
nance is an important subject.
Willard was an amazing sue
cess. He was guaranteed $780,
600 for his part of the program
and got it. Dempsey had to be
content with a much smaller
sum, yet of course he has a
lchance to make up for that.
Tex Rickard is the man who
mourns most. He had expect

Instead of million dollar gate
receipts Rickard took in less
than half that amount. The
Iconcession holders did not
make enough money to pay for

shed no tears for Tex Richards
misfortune. Whether Willard
fully earned his 100000 may
be hard to prove.

THE LESS DELAY THE
BETTER

~ EWS that the Union coun-
az ty part of the road be-
- tween La Grande and
Pendleton is in bad condition
and that Union County has
made no provision for doing
any work on this mountain road
is discouraging.
This road is part of the
through highway which this
section of the state hopes to see
come into general use. 1t is
now so rough that single trip
is enough for most people. I'm
ion County should get busy.
Umatilla county has prepared
to do its part toward the i'm
provement of the road. The
sum of 100000, to be matched
by 100000 from the state, is
available having been included
in the bond issue authorized
last spring.
Assurances are given that
the Umatilla county part of the
work will be handled with
speed, equipment for starting
construction work now being
on the ground. A highway
with a maximum grade of five
per cent will be built from Pen
dleton to the summit.
But a highway, like a chain
is no better than its weakest
point. If the stretch of road
way between Kamela and La
Grande remains impossible the
Oregon Trail is doomed for alb
andonment by tourist traffic.
Let that traffic once be diverted
to other routes and it will be a
difficult task to get it back.
Surely Union county people
will not long delay provision
for some big work on the road
to the summit. 1t is time to hit
the ball if this part of the state !
is to have a place on the tourist |
map.

ABOUT THE STARS
Some Myths Concerning the Great
Bear.


Bear
As we look forward through our
minds, eye down the long yestibule OF
time we soon pass through the thin
veneering of authentic history and out
into the broad field of mythology and
tradition. How far they extend and
whence their origin is only a matter
of conjecture. But there they are; the
offspring of fertile minds in past ages
have come down to us in their entirety.
Even signs and symbols perfect in
their contour have passed down thru
many ages. 1t is said that the direct
descendants of Adam, Seth and Enoch,
evolved a figure symbOlizing the rev
oIution of the stars. 1t was in the
form of two pillars entwined by the
figure. of a serpent which has passed
down through many lands until we
find itsupon our Collar sign.
One of the myths relating to the
Great Bear is to the effect that Calisto
the beautiful daughter of Lycaon, the
King of Arcadia incurred the jealous
wrath of Juno. Jupiter, fearing that
Calisto would suffer at the hands of
Juno transformed her into a bear.

who was said to be skilful with bow
and arrow, to kill the bear in the
chase. but Jupiter averted the tragedy
bv transplatnting his favorite TO the
skies, where she still swings arounc
the heavens in stately grandeur.

THE WAR AND FARM
PROGRESS.

IA URING the past two years
- the methods of produc-
ton and conservation en-
ployed by the farmers of this
county have advanced 20 years
beyond what they would have
been during peace times, says
G. |. Christie, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture. Prior to
1914 and even up TO the decla-
ration of war by the United
States, there were farmers in
every community who were not
interested in county agenls,
farmers institutes, the agricul-
tural colleges, or the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. But when war wss de-
Iclared and Uncle Sam asked
the farmers to grow more food
stuffs of every kind, those who
had before assumed an attitude
of indifference responded 10
the call. Throughout the Ma
tion these farmers, with spirit
of patriotism and an additional
inducement of fair prices and
assurance of reasonable COM
pensation for their NexpenGi-
lures, called upon the Fe 3eral
and other agencies
that could give them informa-
ton. The attitude as well as
the spirit Of the farmers chang
ed from peace-time to war
time farming.

WHERE WE CORRAL JAPAN

N EAGUE critics say much
y about alleged misuse of
China by Japan in the
Shantung award. The treaty
may be open to criticism from
the Chinese standpoint but even
then the criticism is weakened
by the fact Japan took Shan
tung from Germany, not from
China, and has solemly agreed
to turn the territory over to
China.
From an American stand
point the league deals very SAT-
isfactorily with Japan. The
peace conference refused to
recognize the racial equality
of nations. The covenant gives
a league member control over
internal affairs, including i'm
migration. 1t insures a league
member against attack by an
external foe.
Therefore if the United
States ratifies the league coven-
ant we will not only be assured
in our right to regulate orien-
tai immigration as we see fit
but if Japan SHOULD get mad
and make war upon us the lea
que members are pledged to
give us support.
On the theory that racial
war is a possibility of the fu-
ture this feature of the situa-
ton is worth considering even
though one may argue that
Uncle Sam would need to help
in fighting Japan.
If the League of Nations is
not adopted it may be presum-
ed that the Anglo-Japanese al
lance will be continued. In
which case if we bad trouble

in Article XIII, and defined by Sem
ator Root as justifiable.
But 1t can hardly be imagined that
the Council would decide, except upon
well recognized principles of inter-
national law, any dispute which in
wolves the Interpretation of a treaty,
a question of international law breach
of International obligation. or dam
ages from such breach. 1t also may
reasonably be assumed that there will
grow up in the application of these
provisions body of precedents,
which in themselves will constitute
Qualifications of international law. and
thus carry out one of the purposes
expressed in the preamble; namely,
the firm establishment of the under
standings of international law as the
actual rule of conduct among govern
ments.
A Long Step Forward
Article XVI provided that should
any member of the League resort to
war in disregard Of the covenants
above referred to, it shall ipse facto
be deemed to have committed an act
of war against all the other members
OF the League, involving as a con-
sequence: CD the severance of all
of all intercourse between
the members OF the League and the
covenant breaking state; (O the ex-
pulsion from the League of the cove
nant-breaking state, and (S) such
military and naval action as may be
agreed upon by the League.
The amended Covenant certainly
has not weakened the provisions of
the original Articles XT, XII. XIV and /
XVI. concerning which Senator Root
wrote,
II think those provisions are we'll
devised and should be regarded
as free from any just objection so
far as they relate to the settle
ment of the political questions at
which they are really aimed. The
provisions which taken together
accomplish this result are of the
highest value. They are devel-
oped naturally from the interna-
tiona1 practice of the past. They
are great step forward They,
create an institution through
which the public opinion of man
kind, condemning unjust aggres-
sion and unnecessary war, may
receive effect and exert it's power
for the preservation of peace. in
stead of being dissipated in fruit
less protest of lamentation."
Indeed. the revised Covenant OBJ
viously aims at wider field. and
embraces within its scpoe the settle
ment, not only of political but of
legal questions as well. 1t is, there
fore, a great improvement upon the
original scheme.
