amous swiss city.

st. Gall (SwltzerIand) is the noted
embroidery seat Of modern days, and
one of the most influential centers Of
Christian civilization in central Eu-
rope. The city owes its foundation
TO the Irish apostle Gallus, who, in the
year 614, founded hermitage near
the brook Stomach. In the resulting
monastery of st. Gall the strict rules
Of the Irish church were enforced UNI
til 100. when those Of st. Benedict
were substituted by an abbot, 0thmar.
In 1861, the Abbot Norpert Of St. Gall
erected convent on the Sitter river,
the place taking the name of Abbatis
Cella-Appenzell, and the abbots OF
ST. Gall became the dominating infiu-
ence in the land. untll the subsequent

ALL TOLD m SHORT WORDS
Greatest Things Of Human Life EN.
pressed In Letters That % Not
Exceed five in Number

Writers who forever are striving to
develop a vocabulary Of long and odd
words to Impress the dear reader
would do well to remember that the
greatest things Of human life are ex-
pressed by words of not more than
FIVE letters, writes f. p in the Kansas
Editor.
The word 'T claims first consldera-
ton under the classification. r. con-
tuins the minimum as regards letters
and, casting bushes aside, really
stands above all things else with the
human herd.
Passing on to words of two letters
do" and "if' Immediately suggest
themselves as being mighty factors In
the daily grind Of human affairs.
At the head of the list Of three-let-
Ter words stands Sod, followed by
"alr," the most essential Of the essen
tial. In this list, too, Is war also
claw" and "art." Continuing, a most
disagreeable trio appears in tax, owe
and dun" each undeniably mixed up
with mans little whlrl. Then come
two words of great argument, "wet"
and dry" and at the end the most
popular noun and verb, pie" and
"eat."
In words Of four letters there are
'life" itself and many Of the most
vital things Of life love, home, hope,
food, work, news, rest, song hair, bald,
golf, vote, bank, rent and coal"
Finally comes the ive-letter group
containing the beginning and the end
Of mans story birth, heart blood
faith, woman, money, child, mirth,
drink twater. milk or tea, Of course),
dance, motor, train, paper, ouija,
sleep, death and grave"
SO why seek long words to tell the
tales Of life, when each big vital thing
IA short, when one must spell It, and
gives the hint "be brief, old Top, be
blieft"

LIBRARY IN SMALL COMPASS
Properly Prepared, Pigeon Could
Carry Volume Of Writing Equiva-
lent to 100 Ordinary Books

For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes
sages when no other means sufticed,
and during the siege, Of Paris In 1871,
when 1853 birds were sent out from the
city, one bird performed the almost
incredible feat OF carrying to the out
side world in one trip no fewer than
10000 messages averaging 20 words
each. This was 100000 words, or the
equivalent Of five or six average
novels.
II was accomplished by means OF
microscopic photography, the message
being first printed with ordinary type
and then photographed and rephoto-
graphed until they had been reduced
several hundred dlameters. The fnal
photographs were taken on films OF
pellicles Of collodion, each Of which,
about two inches square, contained 5O,-
600 words A dozen Of these films,
rolled up in a quill, weighed but one
twenty-eighth Of an ounce, and the mes
sages could, OF course, be read with
a microscope, without the necessity OF
rephotographing and enlarging.
Under favorable conditions, and Tor
comparatively short distances, pigeons
have carried as much as three-Quarters
Of an ounce. Using the photo-reduc-
ing method itfwould therefore be pos
sIble for a single bird to carry mes
sages equal in words to no fewer than
100 ordinary volumes.

Favorite Sites for paper
Towns" Along Great Lakes
Were at Mouths of Rivers

Sites of lake cities located in the
days OF wild speculation, before the
panic Of 1887, were scattered here and
there along the shore Of Lake Mich-
gan and Lake Huron Promoters. en-
couraged by the sale of lots, would
spend little money in making Il small
clearing often many miles from the
nearest actual settler, would mark ont
some streets and put up, in the midst
of burned stumps, hotel and a bank.
Favorite sites for paper towns ac-
cording to John Bach McMaster's His
tory OF the People Of the United
States, We're ut the mouths of small
streams. The buildings of one such
town, Port Sheldon, were of large
frame construction and well finished
without, but the bank was empty and
the hotel tenantless.
Port of Hayre was another such pa
per town" on Lake Erie, near the
mouth of Maumee Bay But the site
chosen was low and marshy, and a
score of abandoned cabins were all
that marked its streets. Another was
white Rock City" believed to be on
the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth
of a fine river. The maps represented
a fiourlshing city on a wide river, with

ron who stopped to see this city, found
none.

CITY employees
Insist on Wage Increase Or
There Will Be Nacan-
cies, They Say

There is to be no more hum-hawing
around about Increases in wages so
far as the engineers, firemen and
other service employees of the city are
concerned. Ii is either more money
or look for other men. they say.
Council has been dilly-dallying around
and putting the men off urtil patience
ceases to be virtue Last week,
John Bueheit, representing the fire
men, oilers and helpers, appeared be
fore council and gave them to under
stand that the members of his union
insisted on immediate acion of some
kind He also said a few other
things that made council realize that
something had to be done quick The
increase asked for was granted
Tuesday night Joseph Strategier,
representing the stationary engineers,
appeared before council and stated
that immediate action must be taken
on the demands of the engineers and
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-07-16

other employees of the service depart
ment if the city cared to hold some of
its old employees Mr. Strategier stat
ed plainly that he didn't come to make
threats, that the men had no inten-
tion q walking out and closing down
the water and electric plants, but that
these men were underpaid, that they
can't meet the living costs Of today
with the amounts they are receiving
and that if council failed to meet their
demands they would seek work else
whore where the wages paid are high
er than the city is paying. 1t is pure
ly business proposition, higher
living costs make higher wages imper-
ative, he said
City Solicitor Harry Koehler ad-
vised council that it delay action on
the fremens, oilers and helpers de-
mands and arrange to increase All the
service employees wages with the un-
derstanding that there be no more in
creases for at least another year This
was agreed to and council recessed
until Friday night, when it will meet
in executive session.
1t is also intimated that when the
increases are made the citizens can
look for an increased rate for water,
gas and electric light. This is US
uaily the case. Coal, pipe, wire and
other material costs may increase
ten-fold, and there is nothing said
about increased rates, but let the en-
ployes ask for an increase in wages
that will add $400 to the city's pay
roll and there is an immediate cry
that it is necessary to increase water
and light rates, Everything is hung
onto labor
Council no doubt is becoming peev-
ed with the continuous agitation for
wage Increases on the part of the
city employees. That may be, but the
employers are also becoming ''peev-
ed" with the race they are having
with old H. G. L. and with the Jug
Cling around of their requests by
council. We believe council means al
right but just seems to lack that go
Notwithstanding spirit necessary
when the occasion requires it.
1t would be matter of regret if
the rates for water, gas and electric
current had to be increased, but if ne
cessary to do so in order to give the
employees living wages no one will
complain. They have to live.
