Shooting a Mile High

Mr.. Faber was engaged in that
branch of the service to combat the
air raids. The guns would shoot a
mile high, but more often about 1000
or $500 feet, the altitude of the fly
ers. Two kinds of shells were used,
one of shrapnel to hit the object in
the air, and the other Of high explos-
ives to create vacuum. The enemy
c. aft would often turn over as result
Of the vacuum, just the thing desired.
1t was d fficult to hit the objects
high in the air. 1t was necessary to
calculate the speed and distance. The
missive was aimed the proper dis
lance in advance, the whole process
of mathematics and firing requiring
but few seconds. About one shot in
q thousand hit the mark.
When Paris Celebrated
Mr.. Faber was in Paris when the
arnistice was signed and Joined in
the celebration The excitement kept
up for three days and nights.
He was also in the French capital
when President Wilson arrived.
Work of the Y. M. C. A.
He says that much of the adverse
crit cism' thrust at the Y. NJ. c.. A. is
not justifiable. He thinks the organ
ization did the best it could under the
circumstances. The task Of doing the
canteen work was too great, having
had no experience.
Part of the trouble arose from the
government getting goods sent from
this country to Europe free while the
Y M. c. A. had to pay the transporta-
ton charges. He says this has now
been "remed ed by both being on an
equal footing in this respect. He
says some of the boys were hard to
please and expected too much.
Living High in Paris
He found the cost of living high in
Paris The Soldiers and Sailors club
was able to furnish a good meal for
about IS cents, while at a French cafe
similar meal would cost about $500.
He is looking fine. At the Presbyte-
rian church on Sunday night he told
of some of his war experiences, espe-
cially the work OF the Y M. G. A.

Heard the Last German Raid

Although he did not reach the front,
he saw much of the war activities He
heard the explosives, sent down by the
Germans during the last raid on Paris.
Two kinds of death dealing explosives
were dropped from the sky, shrapnel
and high explosives. 1t was easy to
tell by the sounds they made which
kind had descended. The last raid
passed over the fort where Professor
Faber was located, this being last
September. That was the last time
the Germans took an air thrust at the
dream city

BUICK PRICES
Please Owners and Buyers - New
Buick Manufacturing Record
Possible.

The recent announcement of oul
1920 Model "K" series prices is meet
ing with the approval of both Buick
owners and buyers throughout the
United States" says General Sales
Manager E. T. Strong, of the Buick
Motor Company at Flint, Mich.
Every day we are receiving hun
dreds of congratulations for main
tanning our 1919 prices upon our
open models and for the very slight
increased price upon our closed types.
Buick owners are elated because our
1920 prices still maintain the proper
value upon the models that each one
operates. The new purchaser is pleas
ed because he is not compelled to pay
any large increase in price to secure
the same standard of quality in mate
rial and construction, while at the
same time he is receiving the same
improvements and refinements that
are to be found in our new series ov-
er previous madels.
Our factories are putting forth
every effort to speed up production
and we ask that all purchasers be
patient in awaiting their delivery Of
cars thru their local Buick dealers.
The demand of our product is in
creasing so great each day that we
predict that the 1920 season will wit
ness the greatest record breaking sale
in the history of the Buick Motor Co.
The Ideal Motor Company is local
agent for these cars.

ST. BERNARD
TO UN|ON|ZE
ON OCT. |
BOTH SIDES AGREE UPON FLEx,
IBLE BASIS OF ADJUST
MENT
DETAILS ARRANGED AMIcABLY
Recognition Follows Series of Con.
ferenees Between Mine Official.
And Union Leaders.
DETAILS ARRANGED AMIcABLY

The st. Bernard Mining Company
will recognize union labor in the
operation of its mines.
This was determined upon as a
result of conferences held during the
present week with officials of Dis
trict 28, U. M. w. of A., at the law
Office of Gordon, Gordon & Moore.
The first conference was held We'd
nesday afternoon, lasting for three
hours. The second conference was
held Friday afternoon, and was in
session for over three hours. The f.
nal conference was held Saturday
morning, beginning at 10 o'clock.
1t is understood from both sides
that the conferences were amicable
throughout, it being practically un-
derstood when the conferences were
begun that the st. Bernard has vir-
tually agreed to unionize their mines
and that the principal things to dis
cuss and adjust were the details of
making the change from non-union
to union basis, which will require
considerable re-adjustments of va
rious kinds in the mines and the Of
fees.
1t is stated that the desire of the
st. Bernard officials was naturally to
have these changes made in way
that would involve the least friction
and confusion in the working force
and it is stated that the union officials
recognizing these facts, met the St.
Bernard's wishes and, as far as prac-
ticable agreed to a reasonable flex-
ible working agreement pending the
installation of the union rules and
regulations in effect in other fields
where union labor is employed.
The agreement made with the St.
Bernard covers all the mines at Ear
lington, Mortons Gap, st. Charles,
Shamrock and Luton.
The Victoria mine is under diff
feIent organization, but it is owned
largely by st. Bernard interests, and
it is a foregone conclusion that a
similar agreement will be made with
that company in the near future.
The agreement between the st.
Bernard and the United Mine Work
ers organization becomes effective
October 1, 1919.
1t is assumed in the public mind
that the other mines of the county
will soon, if not Immediately, follow
The lead of the st. Bernard and sign
similar agreements as entered into
by the st. Bernard and the union
officials, as it is understood that the
miners generally favor the union.

PRESIDENT
SAYS WAIT
DEMANDS OF RAILROAD EN-
PLoYEs FOR WAGE IN
CREASE UNTIMELY
THEY WANT rs PER CENT
Calls On Men and All Citizens to Aid
In Fight On High Cost OF
Living.
THEY WANT rs PER CENT

Washington, Aug. 26.-Postpone-
ment of the settlement of wage de-
mands until normal economic condi-
tions are restored was announced by
President Wilson as the policy which
the administration will pursue in
dealing with such questions, particu-
larly those effecting railroad workers.
The president announced also that
it was neither wise nor feasible at
this time when the most important
question before the country is re-
turn to a normal price level to at
tempt to increase freignJ rates to
provide funds for higher wages.
"We ought to postpone questions
of this sort until we have had the op-
portunity to certain calculation as To
the relation between wages and the
cost of living the president declared
in statement to the public explain
ing his decision as to wages. at is
the duty of every citizen to insist up
on a truce in such contests until in
telligent settlements can be made and
made by peaceful and effective COM
mon counsel. ! appeal to my fellow
citizens of every employment to CO.
operate in insisting upon and main
tanning such truce"
Mr.. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection with the decision o1
himself and Director-General Hines
on demands of railroad shopmen fol
a 25 per cent advance in wages, but
the general policy pronounced Gov
ers also the wage demands for other
hundreds of thousands of railroad
workers which are pending before
the director general or about to be
presented.
1t is to be expected that other un-
ions trying to obtain more pay will
be asked, as the shopmen, to play
their part with other citizens in re-
ducing the cost of living by forego-
ing temporary advantage which
would add to transportation costs.

WAR PROHIBITION ACT
is UPHELD AGAIN BY
JUDGE IN u. S. COURT
Injunction Sought By Wine Manu-
facturers of California
rnan;aJ

Denied.
New York, Aug. 20.-Holding that
the war emergency still exists, Fed
eral Judge Augustus N. Hand, in an
opinion handed down today, refused
to grant temporary order sought
by Scantena. Lawson and Perelli,
owners of vineyards in California,
with place of business in this city,
to restrain Federal authorities here
from enforcing provisions of the war
time prohibition act.
In asking for the order, the wine
manufacturers alleged that the law
was unconstitutional for the reason
that no war emergency now exists.
In his decision, Judge Hand said:
at is plain from the terms of the
act that among its objects is the reg.
ulation of liquor traffic during the
period of demobilization. That is a
critical period, more critical in some
respects than that of actual hostil-
ties"
