PAVING JOB LABORERS
OBJECT TO FOREIGNERS
Strike on Westside Work Until City
Ordinance Is Obeyed and Italians
Join Union.

American citizenship and good
job go hand in hand in Olympia.
This is not an idle p hrase OF the mo-
ment with the laboring men Of Olym-
pia but one which took definite
form when men working on the big
Westside paving job went on strike
last Friday because they contended
that more than 20 per cent Of the
workers on the job we're foreigners.
Olympia has an ordinance which
provides that 80 per cent OF the
workers employed on the paving shall
be Americans and only 20 per cent
foreigners. The strike was called in
the first place because it wss claimed
there were more than 20 per cent of
foreign laborers helping in the paw
ing and because the Italians on the
job did not belong to the union.
A number of the Italian laborers
expressed desire to join the union
but were refused because they were
not American citizens. Later some
of the Italians showed their naturali-
zation papers and were taken into
the union. Others of the Italians left,
the per cent was figured out to be not
more than 20 per cent foreigners,
and the controversy was settled. The
men returned to work Saturday
morning.
There are about so men employed
on this paving job which will cost the
city about 100000.

Feed the grain in deep litter on
the floor and make the hens exercise
for it. The mash may be fed either
wet or dry, and should be so regu-
lated that the fowls will get about
equal parts of mash and of scratch
grains. 1t is necessary to give the
fowls penty to eat to get good re.
suits, but the birds should always be
eager for each feed. In cold weather
feed about one-third of the scratch
grains in the morning and two-thirds
at night. In this way the hens are
forced to exercise more than if they
receive all the grain they desire at
the morning feed.

two parts of vaseline and one part of

Washington.-Th United States de-
partTnent of agriculture is issuing a
Bulletin containing several colored
plates illustrating the mosaic disease
Of sugar cane, which should enable
those interested in this disease of cane
to identify it. The mosaic disease Of
sugar cane which has been known for
several years in a number of other
cane countries has recently been found
In the southern United States. While
this disease is quite widespread in the
states, there are many disease-free
areas from which clean seed cane may
be obtained.
The mosaic disease, which has done
considerable damage to the cane crop
In Porto Rico and some other cane
countries, is one of the most serious
maladies that has confronted cane
growers in recent years, and if I'M
checked may do incalculable damage
to the great cane-growing sections of

were preceded by complete survey of

In badly diseased fields the only
remedy Is to grind up all the stalks,
say the representatives of the depart

course, that carefully selected seed
cane must be brought in from other re-
gions for replanting. There is still an

was at the University Monday and
spoke to the men at special assembly
in the morning. Major Swan spoke
upon social hygiene, and gave a talk
that was very interesting. In the
evening he gave an illustrated lecture
to the men of the university at the
Y hut. 1t had been hoped that he
could have stayed over two days, but
because of the disheaveled railroad
situation, it was necessary that he pro-
coed to his next stop at Missoula.

abundance of healthy stock in Louisi-
| ana and the other cane states, so that
the industry should not seriously suf-
fer from these attempts at eradication.
| Where the disease has not obtained a
strong foothold, roguing is recommend
ed. This consists of pulling up infect
| ed plants, root, stem and branch, and
throwing them down between the rows
AS soon as the plants wilt they are no
longer dangerous as source of infec-
ton. In damp regions, however, care
must be taken to gather up these
plants and burn them or otherwise de-
stroy them, lest while lying on the
ground they sprout and SO spread the
disease.
Appearance of Mosaic Disease.
1t is difficult to describe the appear
ance of sugar-cane' mosaic verbally,
and this is one of the reasons why the
federal authorities are using bulletin
with colored Illustrations. BY means
Of this bulletin anyone can readily as
certain the exact appearance of infect
ed plants. This disease is an infectious
chlorosis, similar in many respects to
the mosaic disease of tobacco, cucum-
Der, bean, tomato and potato. Scien-
lists have come to the conclusion that
some virus is responsible for the APP
pearance of all new cases, and that the
only source of infection is some other
infected plant. Experiments in Porto
Rico and elsewhere have repeatedly
demonstrated that cuttings from in
fected stalks will invariably give rise
to infected plants. The shoots seem
to be notified as soon as they appear.
Therefore, the use of diseased stalks
for planting results in wider distri-
button of the disease and insures the
of the virus even in the abb
sence Of secondary infections.

Diamond Setting.

The following method Of setting
diamonds has been found to be the
best: First drill the hole for the dia-
mond to the usual depth, a little
deeper than the greatest dimensions
of the stone. The drilling should be
done without lubricant. as oil of any
kind tends to prevent the spelter from
flowing smoothly.
This being done. the hole should be
closed in slightly, just enough to make
1t u of round. The spefter is now
poured into the hole, filling 1t COM
pletely, and the diamond, held in q
pair of tweezers, is pushed into the
liquid spelter in the hole until it
strikes the bottom. n doing this an
amount of spelter equal to the dis
placement of the diamond Is pushed
out of the hole, and when this drop Of
spelter makes its appearance 1t is GER
tain that there are no vacant spots
under the stone.
After the spelter has cooled the end
of the rod in which the diamond is
located can be shaped up in the GUS
tomary manner. The fact that the
hole is slightly out of round prevents
the core of spelter from working out
of the end of the rod.

Ancient Battle Standards.

1t Is probable that the first nag was
carried by the Saracens In their bat
ties with the Crusaders, the latter
adopting the idea. which thus spread
over Europe. Long before that there
had been national standards, however.
as the ancient Egyptians carried be
fore their hosts the figure of a sacred
animal on a spear. A stuffed cat i'm
paled on a stick was the f%orerunner of
the banners now used. In the days of
the old Persian empire a blacksmith's
apron was carried aloft at the head
Of the army. while the standard of
the Turks was q horses tail.
