Labor issues of profound moment

First, the Cummins railroad bill

road employees to strike. On a motion
to strike out this section (Dec. 1S,
1919, Harding did not vote &C.. r.

later he voted for the bill containing
the anti-strike provision &C. R.. s71).

RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYS?
Feathers, Furs and Jewels, Now So
Popular. Are Reminiscent Of Our
Early Ancestors.

Glimpses of present fashions and
views of some shop windows lead to
the impression that the world Is, after
all as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
feathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate jewelry upon
their hands and in their ears. Men are
showing a decided inclination to orna
ment themselves to the limit of their
purses in these days Of the high cost OF
clothes, and altogether anthropOlogistS
tell us it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nearanthaler
man or the Garden of Eden itself.
The fashions of last winter showed a
prediction toward furs such as the
world has never seen since tie days
when they We're worn raw. Both men
and women wore them.
In milder climates women seem to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect to the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections of
society seem to follow the stage. Fash
ions return to Eve seems in certain
cases to be mere matterNef weeks, as
we progress in these swiftly changing
times.

TURKISH MOSQUE ON WHEELS
Enabled Pilgrims to Mecca to Conduc
Their Devotions While on Way
to Holy City.

The "chapel railway coaches, with
seating accommodation for 80, now
fitted to certain long-distance ex,
presses in America, are not entirely
novelty.
A mosque car" used to be run on
the railway built Is years ago be-
tween Damascus and Mecca the cap,
ital being subscribed mainly by pions
Mussulmans. All the rest Of the roll.
ing stock was obtained from countries
outside Turkey, but the mosque car
was built in Constantinople.
1t was externally distinguished by
a minaret about eight feet high pro,
jecting from the roof; the walls were
inscribed with verses of the Koran
and at one end large compass was
hung. indicating the direction of the
holy. city.
Pilgrims to Mecca were thus able t.
conduct their devOtiOns with full POM
and ceremony during the three days
Journey from Damascus.-LOndon Tit

New Enaland Least American.

Talk of Americanizing New England
rings oddly on American ears. If the
cradle of our country needs American.
izing, where are we?
We think of Massa 'nsetts as the
heart of New England. Among the
states it is next to the Oldest" But
a count of her present generations
parentage shows Massachusetts to be
almost the least American of the As
states, the World Outlook states.
The 1910 census discovered that only
80 per cent of Massachusetts folks
were native born Of native parents.
More than 6S per cent were either for.
eign born or were born here of foreign
parents. Later figures would be even
more astounding. The years that in
tervene between 1910 and the outbreak
of the war saw the greatest influx of
immigrants the country has ever
known.

Why Twin Falls is Safe
Twin Falls never went to any of
these extremes. 1t worked on ap-
proved and sensible plans for hon
est production of something that
was suited to the soil and climate
of the tract. 1t has been said that
prices of real estate have always
been going higher, and that pyra-
miding would result and general
tumbling would~>f follow. This will
not happen excepting from one
cause. A great many people in Iowa
and Illinois have sold their farms at
high prices and received the initial
payments and one or more install
ments.. This money some of them
have invested in property on the
Twin Falls tract, on terms similar
TO the terms of the sale of their old
farms. If they receive their pay
ments that will make the payments
on what they have bought. II they
do not, there will be some failures
to nay The men who have bought
those Iowa and Illinois farms are
making the money out Of the farms
to make the payments, but they are
still selling produce at the inflated
prices. We are handling thirty-cent
dollars, and if produce drops as wool
has done, then the income from those
acres will not be sufficient to meet
the payments, and failures will fol-
low. That is the only danger con-
fronting Twin Falls and that does
not apply to more than a fraction of
the property so there will only be
individual failures, if any.

its needs. If your town of Black
foot has not kept pace with the
country around it, then the town
and country both suffer from it. If
the farmers have gone along with
lack of system and lack of stand
>ardizing their operations, they have
produced less on account of it, and
the country and the town both suf-
fer from it. If the rotation of crops
has not been generally attended to,
then the individuals and the COM
munity as whole suffer from it.
Where there is not this community
faith and community of effort, there
is apt to be lack of community en-
terprise, each one waiting to see
what somebody else will do or wait
ing to see what the community does
when each one ought to be going
ahead with a sublime faith in the
whole commonwealth.
What Our County Needs
That is about the run of talk which
this Twin Falls man reeled off to
me as we sat together in lesson on
community-building Besides what
is given in the foregoing paragraphs,
he recited the conditions for five and
ten years back in a dozen irrigation
projects and as many big commune
ties in the west that have under
taken unusual things and carried
them thru or failed and found out
why they failed. / was exceedingly
tired and sleepy and was also ex-
ceedingly interested, and | tried to
make an ediphone of myself to salt
it all down or to grasp the principles
involved. AS try to apply the prin-
ciples to the conditions at Blackfoot
and in Bingham county, think the
people of Blackfoot should go their
full financial length and then some
to get the new water system they
are going to vote on next month,
and that the farmers and stockmen
should sit down in council together
in making plans for buying or leas-
ing stock as proposed by County
Agent Stephens, so the vast amount
of stock feed now being produced
in the county can be fed and turned
into meat products next fall and -.
winter. These are the two first
things needing our attention, and
there are plenty more of them to
concentrate our energies on as the
seasons come and go.

DON'T TICKLE THE CELLlST
Happening at Detroit Shows the un-
wisdom of That Particular
Form of Playulness.

One should never tickle cello play

Detroit Symphony orchestra, remarks
the Detroit News in recent issue.

The story came out when Harris
filed suit for S1GO in justice court
against Abbas. 1t was story of ten.

arose at rehearsal. Ossip Gahrilo-
witsch, director, was away for few
minutes, and the temperamental ones
INDUCED in few moments of play
boy, not music. Harris reached his
violin bow over and tickled AbbaS> In
the ribs. Abbas does not care to be
tickled in his ribs and he swung a
wicked cello bow to demonstrate that
he did not care for tickling. There
was a snap and the second viOlinist's
best bow was a mess and wreckage.
"Ah, ha," shouted Harris. "You
have broken my bow. You shall pay"
"Shan't," shouted Abbas, "Your
own fault. You had no business in
my ribs" They glared and then the
director appeared and the fight was
dropped. 1t was taken up again via
justice court suit. It is believed that
the suit never will be heard. The or
chestra manager heard about it first.
He got the men together, scOlded,
fumed. argued. coaxed and at last
won. They shook hands. The dam
age was settled And harmony of
both sorts reigned.

New Aerial REGULATION.

The small Australian who flies a

the naval or military authorities In the
commonwealth to declare any area a
prohibited area for the flying of bal.
looms during any specified period.

NO SYSTEM CAN BEAT 5kNH
But Certain Old Lady Surely "Threv

Lord Rosslyn, and other frequentei'
of Monte Carlo, who are said to b.
racking their brains to invent a sys

Blanc, founder of the gaming tables
once truly said: "Red wins some
times. black often, but Blanc (white

There never has been system,
the directors said to an Interviews

one system was the discovery of M
old lady who had frequented tn
tables for years. 1ae had noticed tha'

her observations day after day, sh'

persuaded the old lady to part witt
her secret for 10000 francs down.

Casino Forest Fire impractical.

The officials Of the United States
department of agriculture have been
in receipt of so many suggestions rel
alive to eXtinguishing forest fires with
the use of gas bombs dropped from air
planes that it has been found neces-
sary to issue a statement for the pur
pose of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible For the purpose of over
coming detachment of men, mix
ture of one part Of virulent poison to
100000 of air would be entirely suf-
fcient to accomplish the purpose, bu
one of $50 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to qucnch a
conflagration. Another thing to be
taken into consideration is the. Difficult
ty of dropping the bombs with the nee.
essary precision. The art of striking
a target with any degree of accuracy
has not been developed at this time
and there is no prospect that it will
be sufficiently perfected to the point Of
becoming available for the purpose OF
fighting fires.
