LIVE STOCKS EXHIBITS TO
BE IMMUNE FROM TICKS

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 20.-The
Florida State Fair and Exposition,
which Is to be held In Jacksonville
November IS to q, has overcome
many difficulties successfully in the
interest and development of the state.
Both the federal and state govern
ments, through their live stock sani-
tary officials, have come to the aid OF
1.-THE association In safeguarding its
cattle exhibits against exposure to
the cattle fever tick, but the Fair and
deposition naturally must assume
great responsibility so long as the

II is said the people of Florida
must realize that the state fair and
Exposition will not come into its own
so long as the fever tick is allowed to
devest the cattle herds and prevent
the people from introducing animals
with breeding and quality for improv-
ing the stocks of dairy and beeef cat
tile.
II Duval, or any other county,
should fail to support tick eradica-
ton the fair and exposition, of course,
, is adversely affected.
Florida agriculture, which must in
clude improved live stock, will like.

FEZ IS RAPIDLY DISAP-
FEARING In TURKEY

Constinople, Sept. 20.--With the
crumbling of Turkish authority and
influence the fez, the badge which all
Turkish subjects, Christians, Jews and
Turks alike, are supposed to wear, Is
rapidly disappearing. Although the
Moslems still wear their fezzes in the
streets, they no longer cling to them
slavishly indoors. Soon the Turks
may be wearing hats with brims in
Constantinople. Moslems in other
parts of Turkey insist the Mohamme-
dams in the capital lost their religion
long ago through their desire to imi-
tate the infidels.
AS all heads must remain covered
in the mosques and it is quite impos-
sible to touch ones forehead to a
prayer rug while wearing a hat with
brim, the fez is indispensable to the
faithful Moslem who prays daily to
Mecca. Even military and naval Off
GERS must wear visorless caps.
The fez still prevails in Anatolian
cities. In fact 1t is unsafe for for.
eigners to wear a hat in many of
them unless he desires to attract a
crowd of hooting small, boys and run
the risk of starting riot. Osman
Agha, the terrorist governor Of Ker
lrassunde, recently checked the ten
jdency of -Moslems in that City tC
get away from old customs.
An Armenian who had just returned
from Russia walked along the mair
street of the little city wearing a stiff
brmmed straw hat. 1t was worse
than wearing stra what on the New
York Stock Exchange after the seasoI
has passed. Osman Agha grabbed tn,
hat from the Armenian's head, slashe,
the crown from the rim with his sa
bre, jammed the crown down on tn
Armenian head, hitting II heav
blow with the sabre and warning tn
unfortunate chap never again to al
pear in Kerrassunde in such unhol
headquear unless he wanted to go t
Jail.

Passenger Train Travelled for Two

was miraculous that he was not
killed, and also a matter of great
qualification to his many Lakeland
friends to know that his injuries,

received no response. The train rum
bled on at full speed until the pas

be foul play connected with the body

ing seized with this fear he again
reached for the whistle cord and

broken leg had escaped without a

Mr.. Nicholson, after his rescue, ex-
planned how that while leaning out
to inspect the drive wheels and sup

My Own Shop
Exploitation of Negro Women Workers.
BY George w. Gentle.

Exploitation of the severest sort is prevalent in
the shop where work. When think of the
amount of personal injuries the workers here sus.
tain, it makes my blood boil. For, aside from that
Of exploitation thru the payment of out small
part of our product there is heavy penalty we
workers pay in the shape of manned and severed
fingers, due to the dangerous machinery.
Whatever we workers may think about the
color line, the boss is perfectly oblivious to it. He
hires and fires indiscriminatey the whites and
the negroes alike Likewise does he exploit them
with equal mpartiality Here, at least, the Negro
workers are on the same "social" plane as the
whites both of us are equally victimized by the
wages system.
The Negro workers in my shop number about
a dozen, all girls and women. They receive the
'stupendous wage of Sl2.0O per week. How they
exist on this sum we must leave to the welfare"
committees and "socal betterment" clubs to
figure out These girls work with machinery and
scarcely day passes without an injury to one or
more of them. Especially are they liable to the
loss of their fingers thru contact with the swift
automatic knives. Sometimes it is but one finger,
many times two, and when we realize that severed
fingers never "grow OUT, we begin to know the
crueltes these workers suffer thru out their lives
with nangled hands.
Of course we have workers compensation law;
that is we have mockery of one. It is mostly
sham and pretense, as all industrial insurance is
under capitalism. In New York state we are sup
posed, under this beneficent law to receive two
thirds of our wages when laid up by accident. But
this is only true of those workers receiving
wage, two-thirds Of which is equal to not more
than $4,000 weekly. Workers receiving bit more
than $4,000 weekly, which is far below living
wage, when laid off with a crushed limb or other
accident would have to exist upon even less than
this unlivabe wage. One can imagine how much
misery is heaped upon a family of worker whose
wage is say, $1,000 weekly
