IN THE DAYS NEWS

Lucerne. scene of important confer ences among allied statesmen, is de- scribed in a bulletin from the Washing ton, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society as follows:
 ''Lucerne is a precious jewel among Swiss cities, with the lake of the same name for it's setting-a lake where varied beauty and historic association are blend ed.
 ~On that lakes shores William Tell is reputed to have exhibited his marksnaan- ship to the discontinue of Gessler, and on it's waters tradition holds he won his revenge by seizing the rudder of the ves- sel on which that tyrant held him prison CT and guided it to the rock where he aimed, not at an apple, but at his oppres- sor's heart.
 Less picturesque, but more significant. was the formulation of the Perpetual league. That famous instrument not only was the antecedent of the Swiss confed- eration, but marked a mile-post in hu- manity's political freedom. Beloved by tourists and crowded with them in normal years, Lucerne has re- | tained many of it's ancient aspects. Its crumbling wall with it's watch towers give it a medieval stamp; two of its covered l wooden bridges also serve as art gal leries. On the walls of one are depicted scenes of the city's history and the other has paintings of the Dance of Death Perhaps the most famed art object of the city is the Lion of Luerne, considered by one critic the most appropriate and | touching monument in existence In a grotto, hewn from the natural rock, is a i dying lion, pierced by lance, with its paw protecting the feur-de-lys of the Bourbons. Thorwaldsen, Danish sculptor designed this tribute to the Swiss guard
 who died in seeking to protect Louis XVI
 against the mob of Paris revolutionist. that stormed the Tuileries in r792.
 | "Lucerne is situated on the Reuss
 where it rushes from the cross-like Lu 1 cerne. The city grew as the St Gotthar,
 Pass improved, first from mule path tt
 carriage road, and from roadway to
 railway tunnel. By the St Cotthard lin,
 Lucerne is 59 miles from Basel and 1St

miles, from Milan. Its citizen population is less than 50,000, supplemented by nearly as many more tourists yearly be- fore the war. Its chief industry lies in it's more than three score tourist hotels. and the establishments which supply tourist needs.
 The mountain views from Lucerne are thought by many travellers to be nsur- passed in any Swiss city. Cut in half by the river, it lies in a natural amphithea- tre, overlooking the blue expanse of the lake, which is dotted by craft of many kinds. The Pilatus range rises to the southwest and the Riga mountains span the eastern horizon. World famous pano- ramas may be seen by walks in almost any direction out of the city
 Many quaint houses remain. including the wooden structures whose inflamnabil- ity gave rise to curious fire regulations. Wood for building could not lie in the streets more than 24 hours No smithy could work between vespers and early mass. Every citizen was potential fire fighter and the citizens brigade when | called to fire had to await word from the mayor for dismissal Women were re- quired to aid at night by holding lights
 in the doorways. Until two centuries ago
 the ciyt fathers were assigned special duties in fire fighting"

TIE PRorER OUTCOME.

With the calling off of the outlaw strike among the railroad men in Chi cago, after having carried it on for half a year, it will be interesting to note what effect it will have upon the unjus- tiled strike that is at the present time being conducted by the railway em- ployes in Brooklyn and that element of the coal miners which is disposed to de- pend upon radical action rather than sanity following the recent award.
 Conditions are constantly improving in Brooklyn and from the efforts that justnent it must seem to those who quit their jobs and left the public to got about the city the best it could that their efforts were misdirected. Certainly the throwing up of the sponge by the rail- road doesn't give them any enaoura ge- ment, and from such steps as have been taken in that direction it becomes equal ly evident that violence is not going to aid their cause.
 Whatever way the railway men re- gard their prospects they cannot fail tt be impressed by the fact that those who have endeavored to use their influence in an effort to bring about an adjustment have quickly admitted the impossibili;T of doing anything The Brooklyn Rapid Transit company is in the hands of a receiver and under the direction Of the federal court Judge Mayer of that court is firm in the stand that he has taken and the receiver in his annodnc \ ments supported by the court insists that there can be no further dealing with the organization which has broken it's contract.
 That the men can refuse to return to
 their work Is unprecedented. They are not obliged to run cars if they do not want to, but with others taking their places and those who want to return going back simply as new men it mus be evident to them that the strike is . failure.
 They may not appreciate it but there gre those union men in large number who will realize> that such an end tc each and every one of the outlaw strike; is the best thing that could happen tc organized labor

WASTING THEIR CARFARE.

Tie coming to Connecticut of a dele gatiol of those who have oprosed the ratification of suffrage in Tennessee is hot likely to have any influence what ever upon Co1necticut's acticn. There has in fact been no reason for believing that Connecticut was about to flop from opposition to suffrage to the approval of it. Indie lticns have pointed to the fact that Connecticut would undoubtedly rat fly the suffrage amendment when the time came to take action thereon, and it is doubted that the southern delegation will lave any influence in stirring up opposition Inasmuch as the action Tuesday was regarded as being without effect, if what Governor Holcomb had to say to the legislature regarding the legality of action at time is we'll found ed, 1t may not show just what will be done next Tuesday but from the vote as taken there can be no question but what the legislature will ratify and do SO legally at the special session next week
 Tenne ssee in its treatment of the sui frage amendment has certainly made a 1 ner which makes it question whether the amendment has been ratified by the necessary 36 states. By the declaration Of Governor Holconb Connecticut by it's action Tuesday would have done nothing to clear up that uncertainty, but rather would have added to it. By no chance will the delegates from Tennessee be able to make Connecticut repeat their muddle.
 As Senator Brandegee said in his statement favoring ratification in this state: "The country has decided that women should have the right to vote Such is unquestionably the verdict. but it rests with Connecticut to remove tht technical objection that it is possible tc raise in view of the Tennessee situation Connecticut can do it as the result ot the action of the governor.

were prevalent and political experiency well nigh epidemic. Connecticut's senior senator never wavered. He clearly saw the line of his duty as a senator, hewed to it and let the chips fall where they might His whole career in the senate has been devoted to his country. its con. stitution and it's flag.
 It is a happy augury of better days in American public life when a senator with the record and qualifications of Sena( or Brandegee receives the reward of valor his fellow republicans have bestowed upon him. in a state so typically Amer- can as our nearby neighbor, Connecticut. It is leadership of the sort that he sup plies as a senator which the nation sore ly needs today-the leadership of man
 who by the example of his own courage vigor. certainty and steadfastness will
 draw out the highest qualities of the peo- pie whose resolute sense of duty will brush opportunism aside, whose sympathy and truthfulness will stir the heart and hold fast the conscience of the nation Such a leader is Connecticut's senior sen ator What the nation needs today is | more senators of the same calibre, more senators whose conception "of the great. l est deliberative body in the world

Doctors Agree That Present Day Foods Do Not Supply Enough Phosphate-A Vital ly Necessary Element.
Bitro-P Phosphate a Common Organic Phosphate Is What Nerve Sick Tired Out Thin People Need.

If nervous people would eat more old fashioned oatmeal. graham bread. dried beans and peas. the yolks of many eggs. and even the dcspised circus peanut. they would be helped wonderfully.
 Rye bread IS fine also, and SO are len- tils and unpublished rice.
