Poisoning by arsenic IN coal, lately
announced to the French Academy Of
Sciences by Charles Riclict, seems to
be OF somewhat frequent occurrence.
A serious outbreak of so.cnlled pitch
disease occurred at briquette fac
tory. and the symptoms In many of the
employees Included cutnneous can
GER, which proved fatal In some cases.
Chemical analysis showed that arr
scnic was contained In the pitch used.
1t WAS also found In dust Of the fnc-
tory, In the hair Of tie workers and
even In the blood of nearly all. clearly
showing that the men were being
poisoned. This arsenic must have been
derived from the coal supplying the
pitch. Certain kinds Of coal have been

Discomfort

The expression divine discomfort
is II familiar one, and has no doubt
served many restless, disconnected
persons well, 1t Is always comfort
able to have some sanction for an at
tituda of mind that is troublesome to
other people and no great pleasure to
yourself The idea that discomfort IL
intrinsically noble is AS pernicious nn
abstract idea rs has ever been clrcu-
lated. Discomfort with your achieve
ments, dissatisfaction with your re-
Spouse to opportunity or to duty may
he and ought to be stimulating, may
even merit the superlative appella-
ton of divine. But the more common
sort of discomfort is that which finds
fault with fate. which complains OF
lack of opportunity, which in persons
of passive type produces inertia,
aud which urges the more active to
mutiny and rebellion.
Most of the discomfort that people
are exhibiting today has little OF the
divine element. 1t is accustomed by
desire to get much for little. to work
short hours and to enjoy luXuries.
Very few persons are Interested In
making more Of themselves; great
many are determined to get more Tor
themselves. That determination
would not be discreditahle were It
based on II recognition OF the fact that
getting comes by earning. But dis
content has produced false phil
osophy that teaches in effect that
getting comes by taking. NE thing
that makes Boislcsism attractive to
the disconnected is the ideh that the
people who are prosperous are so only
because they or their ancestors have
taken more than they had any right
to take, and that under system OF
proper equality the property Si such
people will be conUscated and distrio-
utcd.

NEXT THURSDAY
IS GIBSON DAY
Nintieth Anniversary of Birth
of City's Founder Will Be
Observed Here.

On next Thursday the children of
the city of Great Falls assisted by
the adults will observe the Goth anniver-
sary of the founder of the city, Sen
ator Paris Gibson. The program ar
ranged has been referred to as COM
munlty feast and includes sports and
games for the children, in which suitable
reward will be provided for the winners,
together with community singing. All
features will be carried out in Gibson
park.
The plan for celebration of the ami
versary has coupled with it the purpose
of founding a day nursery for the city,
and this was given splendid start last
week when funds were raised by tag
day effort as the nucleus for such an
institution.
The leaders of the movement to cele-
brate Senator Gibson's anniversary
were Mrs. Charlotte Lange and Miss
Mary kingsbury, and they have been
given the support and encouragement
of the Rotary club, which appointed a
committee to cooperate with them in
handling the details. f. E. Holdeman

BONE DRY LAW


Although overshadowed by the pro-
hibition fight, the contest over the league
of nations plank got increasing attention,
the general prediction being that the
administration plank endorsing the league
without destructive reservations would
get safe majority in the committee
though there might be a contest against
it on the convention floor.
The exact position tc be taken by Mr..
Bryan on the treaty also remained more
or less indefinite.
The disposition in still other quarters
was for plank advocating ratification
with whatever reservations were deemed
necessary Ito protect American inter
ests." The group urging that course
argued that the republican platform at
least had presented an issue by con-
demning the presiednt and upholding the
senate, and that tbe wise course would
be for the democrats to take that issue
into their own hands. The declaration
outlined. it wa sasserted, would accom-
plish such purpose.
Some of the senator's who left Presi-
dent Wilson last March to vote for rati-
fication with the republican reservations
joined in the advocacy of such q protec-
tive resolutions plank, but others among
them were opposed to it

ing attention was the profiteering plank.
Attorney General Palmer's plank,
which it was indicated he might make
public soon, is said to advocate federal
control of securities issues by all con-
Germs doing interstate business in neces-
sites; federal licensing of all interstate
corporations; and a system OF marking
commodities handled in interstate COM
merce with the production price.
The backbone of Mr.. Bryan's propos-
al is understood to be Jail sentence for
anti-profiteering laws now on the stat
ute books.
The trend of opinion among the var
ious IrishAmerican organizations seem
ed to favor plank flatly declaring for
recognitions of the Irish republic but
some Irish American sympathizers de-
clared there was no hope of securing
such action and that the main fight
should be made for a milder plank.
Eamonn de Valera, president of the
Irish republican government, is on his
way here to lead the fight for a plank
for recognition of the republic and in a
he declared that nothing less would be
satisfactory to him.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor will lead the fight
to put organized labor program into the
platform and Mr.. Bryan also will sub
NIT suggested plank opposing CON-
pulsory arbitration tribunals. The only
apparent clew tonight to the desire of
the administration on the subject was
the general declaration of the Virginia
platform characterizing strikes and
lockouts as "deplorable,'' and advocat-
ing that methods be contrived for peace
able settlement of industrial conflicts.

SHORTAGE Of LABOR
BIGGEST BLOCK To
LARGE PRODUCTION
Germany Has Too Many Engag-
ed in NOn-PrOductive Work,
Says Business Head.

Berlin. June 90 Correspondence Of
Associated Press. )-"Germany's greatest
trouble at the present time is her de-
cline in production" said Carl Friedrich
Won Siemens at the annual shareholders
meeting of the Siemans Halske electrical
concern today Nowhere in Germany
is the imperative need for increasing pro-
ductive labor sufficiently, appraised" he
continued. Far too many people are
engaged in non-productive work; the
number of officials in state and private
enterprises is excessive. All statistics
based or the mark standard show large
increa ses. but that standard is a false
one. Expressed in tons, production has
.clined largely"
Herr Won Siemens said that the recent
improvements in the German exchange,
however gratifying in itself, has had the
effect of restricting exports. In many
ranges Of articles manufactured by the
company. the domestic prices had already
exceeded the world market prices. Even
countries with bad exchange like Ger
many were already almost completely
barred to them.
There was worldwide demand for all
classes Of goods said Herr Won Siemens,
but the high cost of production was kill
ing business, and to q great extent these
high prices were cased by under pro-
duction.
