Out % Tufisoy.

ESkl Scheir, In Asiatic Turkey, has
one unique claim upon puolic In
terest. and II one is Z smoker that
claim Is compelling one. It Is the
home Af meerschaum. Meerschaum
Ia abundance Is found only on the plain
Of Eski Scheir. and this city produces
all the marketable meerschaum In the
world.
Neerschaum, as its name implies. IS
supposed to be petrified seaf0am. and
has been discovered floating on the
Black sea. Apart from the Eski Scheir
mines it occurs in Greece, Samoa.
Spain. Moravia, Utah, Pennsylvania.
and. in conjunction with serpentine.
In Norway and South Carolina.
The ancients are said to have used
1t as decorative stone In buildings.
and this seems to have been confirmed
by the recent excavations in Corfu. 1t
is soft and whitish, and becomes NAL
leable like clay when soaked in water.
Meerschaum used to be considered a
mere curiosity by the Turks, who had
no other use for 1t than as a substi-
tute for fuller's soap. The story runs
that the Turkish ambassador at the
Austrian court, In the eighteenth CEN
tury, was a native Of Eski Scheir.
Wanting to help his city at time Of
great poverty. he took sample Of this
queer stuff to Vienna. thinking that
the Franks" as all foreigners were
then called. might have some use for
1t. The Germans we're quick to see
its utility for pipe bowls. but declared
1t was good for, nothing else.
More than a century has confirmed
this judgment. for who has yet discov-
cred any other use for meerschaum?
For pipe making 1t is an ideal raw
material. Here is stone which Ii
easily nodded when wet. and when
dry becomes hard and resists IRE.

Fruits and vegetables may be dried
in the home by simple processes and

when canning is not feasible. or cans
and jars are not too expensive, dry

quantities of surplus products which
go to waste each year in gardens and

Young Folks Injured
When Autos Crash

While returning from a picnic at
the Charenton shell beach last night.
truck load of young folks were
thrown about and many slightly in
iured when the truck and an auto 60
ing the opposite way came together
with a crash. The other car was
driven by Mr.. Palfrey of Franklin,
who was the sole occupant. Mr.. Pal
frey, it is reported was severely
bruised about the head. The party
in the truck was composed of the
graduates of the High School and
the Juniors, who had rendered the
picnic to the graduates as farewell
affair.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. John
Pharr, the young people were taken
to the ferry. Mr.. Pharr also cared
for Mr.. Palfrey. 1t is not known
which car is to blame for the acci-
dent. The road at the point where
the collision. occurred is very mar
row, and comes to sharp turn. 1t
is probable that one of the cars in
coming around the bend could not
straighten its course in time to avoid
the collision None of the party
were seriously injured, but it is said
that both cars are a complete wreck

Nicaragua Asks u. S.

The United States has been
asked by Nicaragua to land
troops in that country to aid in
preventing threatened inva-
sion from Costa Rica. The mat
ter is being investigated by the
State Department. It is stated
at the Nicaraguan Legation at
Washington that President Tin
oco of Costa Rica has massed
hrge forces of troops on the
Nicaraguan frontier which are
a menace to the peace of the
latter country, and it is suggest
ed that: "In accordance with the
plan by which the United
States gives us friendly advise,
we think that the United States
should give us, in this emer-
gency, the moral and material
protection of a sufficient guard
for our frontiers to prevent an

In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the fact that Nj
caragua is one of the sigma

ton, who has taken an infexible stand a.
gainst the demands of the unions, refusing
to submit the questions to arbitration, in a
statement has said:
There is no reason for this strike. The
men did not want it. 1t was forced on them
from the outside by the organizers of la
Dor unions"
Labor leaders, he declares, are seeking tc
unionize all industry in the country, which
should their efforts be successful, would re-
suit in Industrial decay. Employees of the
United States Steel Corporation, he says,
are averaging an annual income, this year,
of 81 $50, while the average for Chicago
city employees is $1,715.
The other day Mr.. Gary asked the sena-
tors composing the investigating committee
of the steel strike, this question, "What are
we fighting for?" He answered it as fol-
lows:
"The fundamental issue, as I conceive it.
is the question of an open shop or closed
shop. The question Of allowing man to
work where he pleases, whether he belongs
to union or not, and the right of the en-
ployer to employ man in his shop, whether
the man is a union man or not. [ believe
that it is well known all over the world and
is the opinion of large majority of the
people of the world that the open shop is es-
sential to progress and prosperity and that
the closed shop means less production, less
work, higher costs. | think, when you are
discussing the question of the high cost of
living, there is nothing more important to
consider with it than that manufacturing
establishments shall be allowed to operate
unrestricted by labor unions or anybody
else, depending upon the good will of the
laborers, the workmen themselves who, of
course, are controlled by the treatment they
receive, including wage rates and working
and living conditions.
IF the industries of this country or any
other were controlled by union labor, as it
would be if these gentlemen were success
full ! and [ am not dealing in personalities
= it would mean decay, less production,
higher cost and this country could not
succeed in its contest with other countries
for the worlds business"

CRIME GREATLY INCREASES IN
CHICAGO

According to Oscar E. Hewitt, writing
in the Tribune, Chicago averaged more than
10 burglaries daily in September, more than
"A daily in August and 10 daily in July of
this year. Last year, the daily average in
September was 81, in August 81, and in
July 8.5.
Robbery, this year, averaged 7.3 victims
daily in September, GO in August and S.
in July. The corresponding figures for last
year are: September 2.8, August IL and
July 1.8
Crime, generally, in Chicago" he says,
has increased 40 per cent over last year
in the same time. In fact, there has been
more crime in the first nine months of this
year than in the entire twelve months of
last year. Crime has been at the rate of
forty-one jobs day as compared with a
trif1c less than thirty-three for the whole Of
last year."

BOTH SIDES HOLDING OUT IN
STEEL STRIKE
Gary Remains Firm - Indications That
Strike Is Beginning
to Crumble

An editorial writer remarks that while
it is too soon to say that the great steel
strike has failed, its inherent weakness seems
to be telling. Both sides are claiming gains,
and no doubt the reports of both sides are
colored
John Fitzpatrick, President of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, who has been direct
ing the strike, complains that the newspa-
pers "were never so active in trying to
break a strike" He also acknowledges that
public sentiment is with the steel corpora
ton. He intimates, however, that it is a
war to the last ditch that the unions must
husband their energy and fight the strike
out, and adds that either Gary and his in
stitutions must go or the labor movement
must go.
In some parts of the country, large num-
bers of strikers are returning to work. In
the Pittsburg district, many new, unskilled
workmen are focking to the mills and TAX
ing the place of strikers.
Serious demonstrations have taken place
at the steel mills. In Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago, Indiana, four thousand regu-
lar troops under the personal command of
Major-General Leonard Wood, being rushed
to Gary in answer to appeals from Mayor
Hodges to the war department. State
troops also are aiding in the protection of
steel properties.

ty-eight senators are five more than enough
to defeat the treaty.
Mr.. Arthur Sears Henning, Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, says
by way of comment:
The opposition leaders, therefore, feel
they are in a position to dictate the terms of
ratification without making concessions Ell
ther to the President or to the mild reserva-
tionists who lined up with the administra-
ton. On the other hand, the administration
is threatening to reject the treaty if the re-
servations are too radical
The French Chamber of Deputies, by a
vote of 372 to 81, on October 2, ratified the
peace treaty with Germany. The measure
then went to the French senate where its
ratification was considered a certainty.
Great Britain, by act of Parliament, re-
Gently ratified the treaty and the document
now awaits only the signature of King
George.
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy signed a
royal decree on October 7, ratifying the
German and Austrian treaties This decree
must receive approval from the next par
lament which meets at Rome on December
l.
A foreign dispatch says:
Ratification of the German treaty by
the royal decree of the king of Italy virtu-
ally completes the steps necessary for put
ing into effect the pact between Germany
and the allied powers which was signed at
Versailles on June %, and which stipulated
it would become operative when ratified by
three of the great powers"
