ORIGIN OF CITATION CORD
French Tradition Say 1t Was Con-
ferred for Bravery Under Elk
ceptionaI Circumstances.

According to French tradition, the
citation cord originated centuries ago,
when the soldiers of certain COM
pany that had mutinied were to be
hanged. Before the sentence could be
carried out, the French were attacked.
and the condemned men were called
on to aid in the defense. They went
into action, so to speak, with halters
around their necks; but they fought
with such supreme bravery that they
were pardOned, and thereafter each
man was permitted to wear as badge
of honor, and as a token of suffering
and heroism, a knotted cord round
his shoulder.
The origin of the citation cord can
be explained in more logical way if
one examines ancient pictures, which
show that shoulder cords can be traced
back to simpler conditions until they
appear merely as metal tipped laces
to bear the weight of certain pieces
of armor. Such laces appeared in
pairs on both shoulders; they have
survived in the aigulette of the mod
ern officers dress uniform.
AS armor began to be discarded
piece by piece, paintings of the period
show. laces to support the arm pieces
since they were no longer needed
were looped about the shoulders and
became merely marks that dis
tinguished the wearer as high In the
order of military dignity.

Money isn't everything in this world.

mighty healing power as Peterson's ONT

Dear Sirs:--
IT was an untold sufferer from old run

everything without any relief from pain.
A friend told me of your wonderful ONT
ment and the first box took away the
pain that h5 d not left me before in years,
and after U sing just nine dollars worth
of the salve am cured. The ulcer was

"Don't get excited. 1 bought in all
your paper after the game. 1t totals
eleven thousand dollars, just as
said.''
Artie sprang to his feet, and, light
ing a cigarette, began pacing nery-
ously to and fro. Tossing the ciga-
rette aside, he sat down, resting his
elbow on his knee. and passed his
hand shakiiy across his brow.

he muttered, without looking up.

Otis returned to the edge of his
chair. 1--WE must have at least half a
million now, and perhaps five millions
altogether. I thought we went into all

Otis removed the glasses from his
aquiline nose, and, twirling them on
his finger, looked at the younger man
i1quiringly.

While Fitzhugh talked great light
had been dawning upon his caller 1t
now burst upon him effulgently and
he saw the truth. He stood up.

He turned to go. But suddenly the

"No. This is no game for rabbits

Otis deemed the question unworthy
an answer, and the door closed behind
him.

and Fitzhugh pocketed Artie's y Y
for a thousand dollars.
The early winter darkness had closed
in before the game ended, and most
of the gamblers were ready for bed.
Very quietly Fitzhugh went in turn
to all those who had taken Artie's
o US and bought them in. In all
they amounted to over eight thousand
dollars, and the ones he himself held
brought the total to ten thousand i've
hundred.
Fitzhugh was alone in a private
compartment of his brokers' office on
Monday morning when, promptly al
ten. Otis entered. With brief "Good
morning." the capitalist came straight
to the point.
'You are with us, Fitzhugh?"
"Sit down. Otis. Make yourself com

Otis took cigar from the prof

only remaining chair In the Slnail
room. Resting a long hand on his
knee, he tapped his wiry fingers inn
patiently against his leg. He was
little annoyed by Fitzhugh's easy cor

fellowship with business.

Many of the marble statuettes sold

mold used consists of two partisan
outer casting of plaster of paris and
an inner mold of rubber. The solution
poured into the mold is composed
chiefly of marble dust--mere waste.
After the mold has been removed the

If no strikes occur and present con-
ditions of, production continue, there
is less prospect of famine in soft
coal next winter. The United States
geological survey announces that pro-
duction SO far in 1920 is about &c.
100000 tons ahead of the same period
last year. The action of the inter-
state commerce commission in pro-
viding more cars at the mines and in
granting preference and priority or
ders for the transportation Of soft
coal have had a favorable result.
Nevertheless, forehanded people,
warned by the experience Of hast win
ter, are laying in coal wherever pos
sible. Coal prices show no inclination
to drop.

The more conservative branch of or
ganized workmen, as represented In
the American Federation of Labor,
closed a two-weeks' annual convention
at Montreal, Canada, June 10. Sam
uel Gompers, the reelected president
of the organization, succeeded after a
stormy opposition from the friends
Of Ireland in securing an Endorsement
of the League of Nations without res
ervations. The opposition was against
the covenant because Of the view that
it guarantees the integrity of the Brit
ish empire.
Labor's program as formulated by
the convention demands follows:
Ratification of the peace treaty.
Government ownership with demo-
cratic operation of the railroads.
Curb on profteering and high cost
of living with Jail sentences for prof
iteers.
Right to strike and abolition of COM
pulsory arbitration and anti-strike leg
islation.
Hands off in Mexico by the United
States government.
Endorsement of the Irish republic.
Right of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever neces-
sary to maintain the American stand
ard of living.
Shorter workday if necessary to pre-
vent unemployment.
These recommendations will be
launched against the Democratic con-
vention at San Francisco, with a
strong effort by President Gompers
and other leaders to secure their in

Although q condition very much
resembling civil war has existed for
more than week at Londonderry,
Ireland, with riOting, street barbados
and casualties mounting into the hun
dreds, it is not believed that it is the
match which will touch off the great
conhagration involving Unionists, Ma
tionalsts and Sim Feiners. While
conditions have also been bad in Bel
fast and few other places and the
general situation is regarded as grave,
it is pointed out that the disturbed
areas are the centers of violent par
tisanship and frequently subject to
turbulence. The government state
nent says that such outbreaks are to
be expected and do not indicate that
a state of war throughout Ireland is
Immediately impending. The railroad
situation, wherein the employees re-
fuse to operate trains carrying sol
diers or military supplies is the most
serious with which the government has
to deal. The authorities have made
two threats against the strikers, one
to operate the trains with troops, and
the other to stop rail traffic entirely.
The course Of near events appears to
hinge upon the governments ability to
handle the transportation crisis.
