What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF PRIsoNa

tlNUR LIFE Is twofold; sleep hath
~ its own world" says Byron, anu
Joseph Glanvill, that eminent seven
teenth century divine and philosopher
who Is thought to have anticipated by
his inventions the electric telegraph
saws: 1--WE dream, see visl0ns-one
half our life Is romance or nction.
Sir william Petty. the great ship-build-
or. proposed 1t to Pepys of the famous
"Diary "as thing truly questionable,
whether there really be any difference
between waking and sleeping, while
Ellis says. dreams are true whiie
they last-can we at the best say moro
of life?"
This idea of duality of existence
a dreaming and a waking life, both
of equal reality-is the basic ideas or
GaIderon's wonderful drama, Life Isl
n Dream" which nobody reads nova
days, but which everybody ought 10,
for II is worth while. The hero OF
that drama is part of the time a pris-
oner and part of the time king ana
cannot decide which part of his life
Is q dream.
The dream of being In prison Is not
an uncommon one, although 1t Is not
classed by the scientists as typical
dream. 1t could be easily Interpreted
by the disciples of the Freudina school.
though they would require all the de-
tails of the dream in order to do so.
AS for the mystics in spite of Its be-
ing rather disagreeable dream, they
nearly all account it to be one OF IA
vorable omen, an indication of good
luck and happiness. To dream that
you simply see prison is regarded by
some as indicative of luck. AS 10 es'
Gaping from your dream-prison, the au-
thoritieS are divided on that, some
saying that ii means temporary sue
cess, others danger. So If you find
yourself in Jail in your dreams, better
stay there until you wake up-unless
you are pardoned by some Dreamland
governor, or dream that you have APP
piled for such pardon, both of which
are excellent omens.

TRANSFORMING

ID transforming is a pastime Of
- the crude and unterrified amateur
actor who draws whatever salary is
left after paying car fare to the next
town and who welcomes any kind of
applause, from fresh eggs to early
vegetables.
Most of our transformers leap TO the
role in "St. Elmo" with so much sue
cess that they are often confused for
the real article. They have very
complex and exhausting life, as they
are obliged to get up at noon, dress
carefully for the parade, learn which
side of the stage TO come in on, and
stranglc the English language through
out the evening performance.
There is quite little acting con-
cealed on the transforming circuit.
Some of 1t is concealed so success
fully that the audiences demonstrate

SHOW THE FLAG.

Show the flag and let it wave
AS q symbol Of the brave;
Let Ii float upon the breeze
AS a sign for each who sees
That beneath 1t, where 1t rides,
Loyalty today abides.
Show the flag and signify
That II wasn't born to die;
Let its cOlOrs speak for you
That you still are standing true,
True in sight Of God and man
To the work that flag began.
Show the flag that all may see
That you serve humanity.
Let 1t whisper 10 the breeze
That comes singing through the trees
That whatever storms descend
You'll be faithful to the end
Show the flag and let 1t fly,
Cheering every passerby,
Men that may have stepped aside.
May have lost their old-time pride,
May behold II there and then
Consecrate themselves again.
Show the flag the day Is gone,
When men blindly hurry on
Serving only gods of gold,
Now the spirit that was cold
Warns again to courage fine.
Show the flag and fall in line!

The State scored two important
points yesterday. One was the pre-

MORRISON SCOTS
At BANKER DEMAND
Declares Call for Larger Pro-
duction by Labor a Joke
on Themselves.

Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
American Federation CT Labor, in
statement today denounced the Amer
lean Bankers Association for a reso-
luton which its convention adopted
calling on labor to produce more.
These bankers are delightful hu-
morists when they lecture labor about
producing MORE" says the statement
Let them tell ,nelr story to the
automobile VOTERS in the middle
West who are laid off by the thou
sands. Let them preach to the tex
tile workers in the East, where mills
are shut down by one OF the nations
most powerful and richest trusts
Let Thorn tell the building crafts their
story. Let them tell coal miners to
work harder when the records show
that for the last twelve months
these miners have produced moro
than fifty-threc million more tons
than the previous twelve months. The
miners are smashing all production
records and yet we find the price OF
coal prohibitive with bankers lectur-
ing workers on the need OF greater
production.
THE Governments record OF eN-
ports of manufactured goods does not
sustain the bankers. Let thei.l insist
that the law Of supply and demand
for which they profess such high re-
gard be permitted to operate. Let

tain these prices.
