'NORMALCY' HIT
BY YA.F.L.HEAD
Gompers Says Harding
Wants to Go Back to La
Dor Slave Days.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
openly appeals for support for Gov.
Cox, the Democratic nominee, in the
November issue of the American
Federationist." Copies of his article
were distributed by the National
Nonpartisan Political Campaign
Committee of the federation yester-
day.
Senator Harding condensed his
platform into a classic expression of
three words, properly accepted by
the people as authentic, when he de-
clared himself in favor of back to
normalcy," writes Mr.. Gompers.
Senator Harding wants to go back
to a normally defined in the terms
of prOfiteers, anti-labor employers
and great interests whose plunder-
ing Is always curbed by progress.
The threat of reaction is over the
land today. 1t is brazen and bold. It
means oppressive laws, restricted
measures wherever the hand OF gov
ernment reaches, an open door to
those who live only by exploitation,
added strength to those employers
to whom workers are merely num-
bers and hands and a general low
ering of our national standards OF
honor. liberty and humanity.
The cruelty and injustice and the
unfreedOm of the past are well gone.
We fight today for what lies in the
future: For more of freedom, voice
in the shaping of our own lives and
our own destinies. Let the dead past
bury its dead"

HANGAR BLAZE
T0BEPROBED
Three Naval Officers to In
vestigate Causes of Fire
In Anacostia.

Three officers, appointed by Capt.
]. II. Dayton, commandant of the
navy yard, will constitute a board
of inquiry to investigate today the
naval air station fire which destroy
ed thirteen flying boats and air
planes, two hangers and much val
liable equipment in Anacostia Sat-
urday night.
Capt. T. T. Craven, chief Of the
naval air service, said last night
no one at the station was blamed
for the confiagration, as defective
wiring was supposed to have caus-
ed the fire. The flames had their
origin in the roof of hangar "B."
The station was used primarily
for experimental purposes. accord
ing to Capt. Craven. but no i'm
portant work was being done at
the time of the fire. The equipment
burned contained nothing that can
not be replaced.
Whether the Navy Department
will appropriate money for new
hangers and planes is not known
at present. The hangar under con-
struction will be ready in about
ten days, and, although smaller
than either of the hangers which
burned. will be large enough to
house the two seaplanes and five
atrplanes which escapes destruction.

When the coterie of brokers that
determines the renewal rates de-
cides upon the rate for the day,
they notify the president of the
stock exchange, and the rate is
posted on the floor of the exchange.
This rate is then sent over tho
ticker to all the banks in New York
City and these banks then mark up
or down, as the case may be, the
rates of interest upon practically all
their Wall Street or so-called broK-
ers' loans. Some banks take the
precaution to notify their custom
ers by card, while other banks do
not.
In the QUESTIONABLE sent to all
national banks under date of Au-
gust 5, 1920, each bank was asked
the following question:
Has it been the practice of your
bank during the past six months tc
mark up or down from day to day,
according to fluctuations of the New
York call money market the interest
rates on demand or call loans, Sc
cured by stocks or bonds, made to
borrowers who are not depositors in
your bank?
In reply to that question every
national bank in New York City
with two or three exceptions
answered yes and two of these
stated that they too, under certain
conditions, also charged the call

The present rate Of SIPS was or

The decision by the commission
on the gas increase will be watched
with special interest, in view of the
recent announcement by President I
William F. Ham, Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, that
the traction company would soon
need further increase in it's fares,
over that granted last spring, or at
least continuance Of the present
rates, If the road is to earn a re-
turn Of at least 6 per cent, which
the commission claims is fair.
II is understood the company will
petition the commission for such
continuance or increase, and should
the gas company be granted its in

according to the Federation of Citi-
zens' Association, would very like

tain a like dividend.
w. B. Westlake, president of the
federation, said last night that SEN
timent throughout the associations
was almost unanimous against an
increase in traction fares, and that
his organization would in all prob
ability fight any effort on the part
Of the electric company to obtain
an increase. He is especially inter-
ested in the gas fight, for he con-
siders that the fare demands which
have been promised as forthcoming
will undoubtedly be based on the
result of the gas protest.

DID YOU DREAM ABOUT Sheep

MOST dreams Of rural life and
1vl country enc appear to be re-
garded by the authorities Of Dream
land as favorable omens To dream
of seeing a flock of sheep, for instance,
is a very good indication for the fu-
ture. To be surrounded by them in
creases the good luck and a flock Of
lambs foretells even more good luck
than a flock Of sheep. But just to
gaze upon a flock of sheep feeding in
the pastures of your dreams means
that you will have success in life.
If you are unmarried and dream
that you r watching the little lamb
kins skip about, your sweetheart is
faithful and Of a good disposition.

carry it in your dreams you will be a
lucky person indeed.
If a sailor dreams Of sheep it means
great luck and a safe and prosperous
voyage to him. If you see yourself
shearing sheep it is an indication that
you will shortly make money by a
business enterprise, though, accord
ing to some of the w%iseacres, it means
that you will have to struggle hard
for this success. But it isn't good to
see the sheep running away from you,
for that indicates that some Of your
pretended friends are really trying to
injure you. 1t is a warning to be on
your guard. Also it is a bad sign to
hear the lambs baa or to see them
killed. If you see your flock of dream
sheep lean and scraggy look out for
your investments carefully If you
would profit by them.
With the few exceptions noted the
lambs and muttons Of Dreamland are
much to be desired and come far
cheaper than in the markets of the
world of actualities, the food p%roiteer

BEAUTY MARsHALED FOR CAR
the Prettiest Maidens Of Land
Over Which He Ruled.

In Russia. in the Sixteenth century,
the choice of a bride for the car was
made from all the pretty girls of tile
country. Ivan, who ruled 153O-15S4,
being ready for a wife, ordered all the
beautiful girls In the country to come
to Moscow. Preliminary contests were
held in each province, and candidates
selected. In the majority of cases the
contestants were delighted with the
chance to go to Moscow, and still more
delighted with hope of becoming
ruler of Russia. An immense hall was
built and, on the day of the choosing,
1900 Of the most beautiful girls In
Russia were ready to contest fer
VANS favor.
Accompanied by an aged courtier,
the czar strolled through the hall, all
the girls smiling shyly or openly at his
highness as he passed them. After a
process of elimination was gone
through with, Anastasia, daughter of
an ancient but poor family, was
chosen, and was made empress of
100000 people forthwith.

"a very thin crop-and left it on the

Heard a rustic in the brush
Only yesternight;
Heard a rustic in the hush,
Somethin' out of sight
Jest a football on the ground,
Shakin' Of a tree;
But we argued all around
What the thing could be.
Jack, the stable-boy, he said
Likely twas a colt
Farmers colt tibet got its head,
Broke its halter holt.
Bill, the cookhouse Turnkey, swore
Twas a bear er cub
Huntin' round the c%ookhouse door
Fer a snack of grub.
Pete, who likes to hunt when fall
Comes around each year,
Said it wasn't that at all
Thet it vas a deer.
Frank, who drives the two-ox pair,
Said they made him laff,
Said their colt er deer err bear
Simply was a ca1f.
So they set an argutied
What the thing could be;
Ev'ry fellah tool. a side,
Had a theory.
Jack he chinned it with the chaps,
Bill with all the boys;

There wasn't any noise.
What the rustic was about,
No one ever knew;
But one fact l fisgered out
From that gabby crew:
People look with diff rem eyes,
Hear with different ears;
That what closest to them lies
ES'rything appears.
Ev'ry nation is the hest

Thinks his heaven best.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"clGAR."

A NUMBER Of prominent
"A etymologists, among them
Littre, have endeavored to prove
the word Cigar is derived from -.
the Spanish cigarra, meaning
grasshopper, and that it was
applied to the rolled leaves of
tobacco by reason of their SINH
larity in shape to the body Of
this insect. This explanation,
while ingenious. hardly fits the
facts in the case. for when to-
baccO was first introduced into
Spain from Cuba. it was grown
in gardens Or c%igarrales, as the
Spanish call them.
The weSlthier Spaniards had
a fad of raising tobacco in their
%cigarrales and making'their own
cigars. which they would profer
with the explanation "Es de mi
cigarraI" ("1t is from my gar
den" as proof that the tobacco
was wholesome and home
grown. Before long the express
sion changed to Este cigarro es
di mi %cigarral," which might be
literally translated. This ger
den product from my garden"
and it was from this that the
word Cigar" originated.
However, in the final analysis,
the grasshopper does have
something to do with it-for the
Spanish %"cigarral" or garden"
is so-callcd because 1t is the
place where the grnsshopper
