PRE- . HISTORIC WOMEN
 KNEW EMBELLISHMENTS
 NECESSARY TO BEAUTY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Present day girls, with their cosmetics, orange sticks and nail powders, may be chagrined to learn their aboriginal sisters, who disported themselves beside the Pacific genera tions ago, knew something about per sonal embellishments.
 A stone powder puff found on Santa Catalina island, together with a prehistoric toothbrush is evidence of the early day activity of the women, according to Ralph Glidden, who made the discoveries while searching Indian graves on the island for the Hayo foundation.
 The toothbrush resembled the mod ern size, shape and color The bristles were gill flores from the jawbone of the stingaree. The puff" probably would seem heavy today, for although it looks like the modern bit of down, it feels like a lump of lead. It was used, it is said, to crush the ochre with which the Indians beautified themselves.

cess of this field possible
 "All differences have been settled by operators and miners and settled satisfactorily I know of some union men who have come in here from union fields but they left just as soon as the union organizers came in last spring. I don't believe there is any basic union sentiment in the field, be- cause the men have alweys made good money.
 ''The mines are among the best n the state. We have no gas and con- sequently no explosions and the liv- ing conditions in the valley are good.
 "The Baldwin-Felts detectives, about whom one hears so much are not employed to guard the property and in no sense are they mine guards. In fact there is not mine guard in Mingo county. These men are en- ployed by the companies as any cor poration which does not have it's own intelligence department employs such men,"
 The Mingo district last year pro- duced about 6,OOO,0OO tons of coal worth about s16,OOO,OOO with the loss Of only six lives, according to J. w. St. Clair, state mine inspector for that district.

MAIN ISSUE IN WEST VIRGINIA
 COAL STRIKE

w WlLlLIAMOON, w. Vd., Aug. kOy Associaed Press) In the industrial conflict being waged between the mine operators and leaders of the United Mine Workers, the question Whether all the bituminous coal min- CTS in West Virginia shall be organ ized as union men is the main issue. The miners leaders also demand that the scale of pay now in use in the Kanawha field be adopted in the b1ingo county bitumious field here.
 Charles F. Keeney, president of dis tr;ct No. r of the United Mine Work CTS, who is in command of the union forces, explains the situation here by saying
 There are approximately 55,000 or ganized miners in West Virginia and 35,00O who have not yet been organ 1zed These unorganized men are mostly in the counties of Mingo, Nc Dowell, Logan, Raleigh, Mercer and Wayne, all in the southern part of the state. The campaign to organize these 7niner is well under way and we ex- pect to have it completed before the snow flies.
 ''The men and the operators could get together and settle this thing if it ? were not for the mine guards. They are depriving the men of their constl- stutional rights and that brings about the trouble. Why, I understand the sheriff of Pike county has deputized some 300 men and the coal companies are paying them, while detectives are on the border between Mingo and Mcdowell counties with rifles and ma chine guns.
 "What would happen if an attempt to operate the mines here with non- union men? I wouldn't like to say. But in their present temper, these men are not to be fooled with. Right now this situation is a powder mill. The men have no complaint when the law is enforced by the proper author ities. But they will oppose to the last, the use of private armies en- listed by the coal companies
 Harry Olmstead, of the Coal Oper- ators' Association of Williamson, gave the other side of the controversy.
 'The United Mine Workers want to organize their field" said MT. Olm stead, land then move on to the larger and more important fields of McDowe1l, Wyoming, Mercer counties, and what mines have not been organ ized in Raleigh. These are the last important unorganized bituminous coal fields in the country, and with these organized the union will control the bituminous production of the United States.
 "They will then be in position to enforce the demands formulated at the Cleveland convention last year, and which they could not enforce ir the general coal strike last year, be-

 working conditions has entered into the controversy. It is just a question of the United Mine Workers union 1zing the mines, with all that such a course carries. We object to that, be- cause for matter of 20 years, we have enjoyed peace and quiet here ln this field, and I may say that be- cause of this, we have made the suc-

What Senator Harding had to say
to the Minnesota farmers, Wednes-
day. will be of interest not only to
farmers all over the country but to
every individual who eats, for the
speech was not confined to a group.
The speaker depreciates these appeals
to groups and declared: The utter
ance of political nominee ought in
every instance to be inspired by a
purpose to serve our common coun-
try" The tenor of his remarks in
dicates that he was SO inspired.
He sees along with all those who
are far seeing that the time has
come for definite agricultural pol
icy. not government paternalism, and
larger farm representation in our
larger government affairs. We must
have cooperation, scientific study of
markets, better understanding of the
price factors, less f1uctuation of
prices. He favored farm loans to
the farmer who wishes to own his
land and an end to the alarming in
crease of tenant farming.
He sees that we have come to the
limit Of agricultural exploitation and
must now conserve and develop that

Granite State Vote Significant

oFantte 9t1to vote ot0HlHCdHt
Senator Moses who opposed the
Wilson League and was opposed to
woman suffrage. wins a handsome
victory in the New Hampshire pri-
maries This does not mean that all
who voted for him approve his course
with respect to those issues, but 1t
does mean several other things OF
prime importance.
The electorate of the Granite State
is intelligent enough to appreciate
the full measure Of a candidates
character and accomplishments and
to accord fitting recognition, ire
spective of a few details with which
there may be dispute. Many of the
women Of New Hampshire have
shown themselves capable of the
broad view of a candidates general
fitness and have not acted, as some
have apprehended, in spirit of
petty spite against one whom they
recognize as having the courage OF
his conviction. Again, be it noted,
the vote of the women doubles pre-
vious Republican records! Some may
find here a text. on which they would
not like to expound.

An Undesirable Change Proposed

A contemplated change in the at
titude of the American Legion to-
ward politics is indicated by the Off
cial organ of the Legion, which an
nounces strong sentiment through
out the country in favor of reconsid-
Grafton of the political restrictions
clause in the constitution"
1t is said the Department of In
diana has adopted resolution pro-
viding for the collection and dissem-
nation of information respecting the
attitude of members Of the legis-
lature and other public officials
toward matters pertaining to the i'm
mediate welfare of the Legion.
Commander D'Olier is quoted as
saying in the Georgia fight against
Watson that: Members of the
American Legion of Georgia owe il
to themselves and to the memory D!
fallen comrades to use the full power
of their ballot to keep out of public
Office any individual, regardless Of
party. whose record during the wal
was disloyal or unpatriotic."
The instincts of men who fought
for their country would seem to be
sufficient in an instance Of tina,
nature to make for unanimity and
effective action; a resolution would
be superf1uous. An attempt to make
use of the Legion for political pur-
poses. however. is a very differen,
matter: it exhibits a tendency, which
,, as the country grows and complex
tiles multiply becomes more and
more Of a menace.

We may be self supporting people.
The farmer from being an individ-
ualist is fast becoming organized on
the most approved business lines and
the time is coming for a conflict be-
tween the farmers and those who
seek to drive down the prices of
farm products.
When is considered the splendid
part played by the farmers in the
recent war, to which the speaker
paid tribute, the need Of stable con-
dit:on of agriculture, the certainty
of a decaying country unless this
shall be accomplished, it will be ap-
preciated how wide of interest this
subject is and the splendid spirit in
which Senator Harding discussed it.
