Hiker's Homemade Compass

"Say, Ned, | know how to make
compass from cork and needle
about 2 inches long"
How do you do it, Tom"
Magnetic the needle on COM
mon horseshoe magnet, Push the
needle straight through a good-sized
cork SO that it will balance and float
upright when placed in water. Al
low the needle TO stick out on one
side of the cork as much as on the
other.
Then place the cork and needle in
water to test the compass. The nee
die will swing around and point ex-
actly north and south. It's a good
idea TO dab little red or white paint
on the north end so you can always
tell which is which. Some compass,
eh?"
You said it, Tom. Wen have to
take one of those with us when we
go hiking this summer"

A LAW ENFORCEMENT REC
ORD THAT WILL CAUSE MANY
TO DO SOME THINKING

During eighteen months of the Bob
Hutchins administration as chief of
police OF Ardmore G. G.. Sims was
associated with him in the capacity Of
assistant chief,
During this time the total sum
collected in fines was ss,Oe6.70. OF this
amount the fines paid by those arrest
ed by Mr.. Sims aggregated $4,499.5O.
Almost one-half OF the money the
city collected from law breakers was
from the arrests made by Mr.. Sims
despite tue fact that something like
sixteen men were in the police serv-
ice of the city at the time.
"If the people elect me chief OF
police" said Mr.. Sims, II will en-
force the laws 30 the best OF my abl-
ity and Will not put those on the
force who are not men in age and
who are not real men in habits"
The record made by Mr. Sims is SUI

PACKERS CUT WAGE
SCALE AND RETURN TO
THE 5I-HOUR WEEK

CONTINUED from page II
penses are almost three times as high
as in 1914. Our profits have fallen
continuously since 1917. We regret
that we are. therefore, forced to make
a reduction in the rates of pay"
The orders for the reduction in
wages follows the cancellation by the
packers on February 26 Of the war
time arbitration agreements
"If the packers are looking for
strike. there is no doubt they will get
one, if they insist on the proposal to
return to the old ten hour day"
- Dennis Lane. secretary of the ANAL
e gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
workers union, said today, when in
formed of wage reductions and longer
working hours announced by the pack
efs to their 100000 employees.
az Lane said that if it was really
necessary for the packers to reduce
wages. in order To do business, the
employees would "be willing to come
halfway in any proposition that was
made in fair and just way"
81 am convinced. however. "he said
THAT the workers will never consent
to a return to the antediluvian 10
hour day, as embodied in the proposed
% hour week with no extra over
time pay. They must retain the over
time scale OF time and one-half for
all over eight hours a day.
IF wages must be reduced the
packers must go about il in the same
manner which the men took in get
ting their increases. The packers have
: done away with the services of Judge
Samuel Alschuler as arbitrator, but
we will not accept wage reduction
unless ii goes before some fair tri-
hunal or umpire. Either recall Judge
Alschuler or appoint someone in his
place, is our advice to the packers" ."
--, Mr. Lane said that he believed that
+; -the packers would relish a strike"
we have found that they have
stored vast quantities of their products
lsand that they could shut down for
i.some time without any real loss" he
= .said This is particularly true OF
hides. which are cited in the wage
reduction announcement. The pack
-ers control the leather market. They
-haye purposely run down the price
of hides and therefore leather prices
are ludicrous.
Had the employees taken such a
stand as the packers now have taken,
we would have forced the country into
chaos and been condemned by every
body"
A wage conference of employees has
been called by Mr.. Lane TO meet in
Omaha tomorrow. In addition. meet
ings in all cities where there are pack
ing house branches a demonstration is
planned there for next Saturday in
which 10000 employees are expected TO
take part in parade and mass meet
ing.
