GLOVER Of the pevlI.s

''Flower OF the Devil" is a strange
growth upon trees found on the sides
Of Fuego volcano In Guatemala, one
Of the few places In the world where
1t is known to occur. Ii has beautiful
follation, veining and stem, and appears
full blown when just unfolding from
the bud. This effect Is formed by
parasite which enters the wood and
dies after eating portions Of it away,
a process which in time produces the
results described. Tradition, however,
ascribes a different origin. Years ago,
when the SpaDlard ruled the country,
fair Indian maiden was supposed
to have betrayed certain tribal se-
crets to her white lover. Her people
threw her into the fiery water of Buego
In expiation Of her sin, and once every

Camel Famed as Possessor Of Perpet-
uaI "Grouch," From Its Birth
to Its Death.

In selecting the camel as their EN-
blem, ti-prohibitionists display
sense of fitness. According to some
authorities, though the camel general
ly fills his tanks with water, when he
has the chance he substitutes date
Juice, which, fermentIng in due course,
gives him a portable store of alcohol
to draw on as opportunity allows. Even
with soft drinks the camel's powers
of absorption are phenomenal. Water
ing a camel train on the march is a
prolonged business, seeing that some
camels require as much as 20 gallons
to satisfy their thirst On esthetic
grounds, however, objections might be
raised to selecting for an emblem an
animal whose face has been described
as "a sculptured sneer." The camel
Itself is said TO be so little In love
with its appearance that it never
drinks from a pool without first foul
ing the water so as to be spared the
sight Of its own reflection. Nor does
its character bear inspection. 'The
camel" says an oriental proverb,
curses its parents when 1t has to go
uphill and its Maker when 1t goes
down" Camels are born sad teven
young camels are never known to playl,
and their life is one long protest
against being made to WORKMAN

SAvAGES WORE BODY ARMoR
Gilbert islanders Used That Form Of
Protection, but II Was Limited
to Leaders.

Only one tribe In the South Pacific
islands ever rose to the height Of in
venting armor to be used In their war
fare. But even this tribe, the Gilbert
islanders, turned out only few suits,
owing to the work entalled In the
manufacture. Francis Dickie says, In
the Scientific American. that the suits
we're limited In number, and that
every village was the proud possessor
of one. At the outbreak of a conflict
between villages, not all the inhabi-
tants went to war, but the most
doughty warrior was dressed In the
village armor and sent against the
champion of the rival place.
The brown-colored fabric covering
the body and legs, which formed the
GIlberts' armor. was made out Of coar
string taken from the husk Of the
coconut, so closely woven as to make
a protection stronger than board, and
having greater lightness TO recommend
It. A further breastplate, invulnerable
to any native weapon, was made from
the dried skin Of the stingaree, or ray
fish, which dried as hard as metal.
In the last few years peace has set
tied over the Gilberts and the armor
has ceased to be manufactured. The
few suits In existence have all been
seized by collectors OF rare articles

dividual hatters were held responsible.
The present case is based on a
strike of miners near Prarie Greek,
Ark, in 1914. The mine was operat-
cd by Philadelphia broker, whose
venture proved improbable and he
declared for the non-union shop.
Guards and strikebreakers were i'm
ported, and strikers were forced to
live in tents. An attack was made on
the tent colony similar 70 the Ludlow
(Col.) attack. The miners drove off
their assailants and in the scrimmage
property was destroyed A claim for
S200,9000 damages for loss of prop
erty and business was filed in the
federal courts. The company won
and this was trebled three-fold, under
the Sherman antitrust law.

Mine Workers of America. The Of

SOULS ORDEAL AFTER DEATH
Old Volume, Known as Judgment of
the Dead" Is Fancy of the
Ancient Egyptians.

Book OF the Dead" is a very old
book, known In ancient Egypt as the
Judgment of the Dead" and 1t con-
tains the funeral ritual of the Egyp
tians, describing in mystical language
the experiences of the soul after death
and the text 1t must quote to escape
the torments and trials of the lower
world In one chapter, the longest in
the book, is a picture showing the
Judgment which the defunct before en-
tering into the fields of the blessed,
Will undergo In the lower world, in the
presence of Osiris and ~ judges of
monstrous form, who are on hand to
devour the guilty and drink his blood.
Anubis, the god of the dead and
Thoth, the god of wisdom, examine
the deceased by weighing his heart In
the sacred" balances of Justice. The
famous negative confession" enumer-
ates AZ capital sins from which the de
ceased must be free. Should he fail to
pass the ordeal, he is either handed
over to be devoured by the monster,
part hippopotamus, part crocodile and
part lion, which represents the Egyp-
tian Cerebus, or is thrown into the
fiery lake.

Woodpeeker J aHome nlrd..

Among the natural guardians Of the
trees are the woodpeckers, which
gather their food as they creep round
the trunks and branches. AS the food
OF the woodpecker is resrly as abund-
ant In winter as In summer they are
seldom migratory. They never forage
In 1ocks, like some Of the graniyorous
birds whose food is more plentiful,
but scatter out over wide areas, and
thus better their fare, They bear the
same relation to other birds that take
their food from trees as snipes and
woodcocks bear TO thrushes and
quails-that is, they bore into the
wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quails seek
their sustenance on the surface o4
the ground.

FIRST PAPER
SUIT
In Hamilton on Display At
Eph-Rath Store

For real freak in clothing one
ought to call at the Max Eph-Rath
store and order a paper suit from the
sample one Mr.. Eph-Rath has on dis
play. Much has been said and heard
of the paper suits of clothing made
in Germany, but if the one on display
at the Eph-Rath store is a fair sam
pie of what to expect of clothing Of
this material, needless to say that
they will not prove very popular. The
material is coarse and stiff, the suit
weighing a little more than 5 pounds.
The one at Eph-Rath's cost $500
wholesale Orders are not pouring in
fast for the suit, but Mr. Eph-Rath
being up to date and wanting the
Hamilton people to get direct line
on all matters of clothing, has this
one suit on display and invites all to
come in and look at it. 1t is well
worth ones time TO do so.

WOMEN in INDUSTRY
Number in Country Runs
Into Millions

Washington Approximately 2,400-
600 women and girls are employed in
industry in this country, according to
a report by the federal board for vo-
cational education.
Since 1916 women in the iron and
steel industry have increased 40 per
cent; in the automobile industry, 800
per cent; instrument making, 200 per
cent; wood working, 100 per cent. The
number of girls between IA and 16
is between one-third and one-half of
the total number of employed youth.
The federal board says; "The pub
lie needs to understand and face the
facts of the presence of large num-
bers of women in industry"
The report shows that women and
girls are going into these industries
without sufficient training. Under the
federal vocational education law of
1917 every state has an appropriation
designed to be used for trade and in
dustrial classes for women and girls
and men and boys. 1t IS stated that
the labor organizations of southern
California are responsible for trade
and industrials classes in factories
under the direction of public school
authorities.

For nearly two centuries the people In

impression that the United States lacked
beautiful scenery, and every year hun
dreds of persons toured Italy and Swift

war when an effort was made to inter-
est people in the scenic views Of this
came the slogan OF the railway com
panies. But 1t remained for the war to
bring home to the people the real posi-
bilities Of this country for beauty, for
1t was not until then that they began to
discover that all the grandeur Of nature
is not situated in the Old World.

hibition. The majority Of these depicted

Steele display which, with one exception,
portrays scenes In Brown County, Is a
very logical successor with the obtec-
tive Of teaching the people to appreciate
their own home State.
A woman visiting the Forsyth exhibit
tion remarked that she never knew that
there were SO many picturesque spots In
Indianapolis. Then, she said. that after
she went out TO Irvington she saw num-
bers of pretty spots which she had
never noticed there before.
But regardless of the educational value
the pictures which Mr.. Steele has placed
on exhibition are very attractive. Al
though they may observe the rules and
regulations of art they are Of such
nature that the person who loves thing
for Its esuty can appreciate them.
Properly speaking, they are divided
into two large sections. One which &C.

County scenery. Those which are In the
adjoining slcove have subjects In still
life The entire collection has been
placed in a standard, modest frame In
order that the beauty Of the painting
itself may not be detracted from.
The scenery has also been divided into
separate groups. On the north wall OF
the gallery the spring works have been
hung. On the south wall are those OF
summer and early autumn, and those
depicting late autumn and winter are
on the west wall.
