Labor Would Have
Peace on Earth

Austin, Texas, Nov. l5.--Joseph 5.
Myers, Commissioner Of Labor, today
made public an appeal to all Texas
employers and employees 70 forego
all labor disputes between Thanks
giving and Christmas to the end
that there be no strikes, no lock-
outs and no trouble, and that on the
morning Of the festival Of the ma

earth, goodwill toward men,"
Mr.. Myers shapes his appeal in the
form of a resolution that he asks
all neutral organizations TO ADOPT
as well as the employers and the
employees, asking for this industrial
armistice. Also in the end, he
thinks there will be much better
feeling between capital and labor in
Texas; that the hiatus in labor dis
putes will enable both sides . bet
ter understand the problems II the
other. Mr.. Myers does not ask that
his exact resolution be adopted, but
that its substance be approved. he
also asks that the press and the
ministers lend their aid in promot-

BANKERS ARE TOLD
THAT TRADE is BETTER
Head of Financiers' Organization De-
cIares That Pessmsm in Bust
ness Is Unfounded.

Los Angeles, CAL, Oct. 5.-The dis
posal of billions of dollars by some
$4,000 banks was cheerfully discussed
at the opening of the fortyseventh
annual convention here of the Amer
lean Bankers association.
Things are looking better, the times
are not so badly out Of joint as a
year ago, irresistible forces are work
ing in the turning over of these bill
lions of dollars toward more prosper
GUS times and the pessimist with
theories of depression is out Of place,
it was said by leaders in the nations
financial world.
The program of the formal opening
session was featured by 42,OOO-wcrd
report by the president of the associ-
alton, John S. Drum Of San Francisco.
1t was a review Of the situation to-
day, a countrywide economic survey
expressing the opinion Of more than
thousand bankers. A 12,500-word
analysis of it was followed by sum-
mary of the condition in every state
President Drum crystallized 1t in
these 26 words:
There is nothing in either the do
nestle or the foreign situation to give
rise to the pessimistic conclusion that
the world is riding straight to ruin"
Rational examination of our con-
dition today" Mr.. Drum said, must
prove to the greatest doubter that our
problems are but the natural manifes-
tations of worldwide reimbursement
that great natural forces are working
to remedy"
More than 1000 reports were the
basis, he said of his address.

BIRDS have RIVAL
0rnlthoIogIst Says Planes Out
speed Fowls.
Col. Melnertzhagen Asserts Feathered
Filters Can Reach Speed of 100
Miles an Hour.

Every one surely who has watched
the flight of the swifter birds has
made his own estimate as to their
speed. The speeds attained by the
carrier pigeon, the duck and the faster
of the sea birds have formed the SUBJ
ject of endless guesswork and inevita-
Bile exaggeration. Birds which are
Incapable, even when at full stretch,
of doing more than 40 to 80 miles an
hour have been credited with 100 and
more.
Now the fact of the matter is that
nothing is more difficult than to judge
of the speed of any object through the
air by mere human observation. Fore
shortening due to perspective alone
renders it impossible to tell just when
a moving object passes above some
fixed point on the ground, and almost
invariably the estimated speed is far
beyond the actual. At the present
time the highest well-authenticated
speed is that of homing pigeons, some
of which have reached speed OF %
miles an hour over comparatively short
distances.
But now comes Colonel Meinertz-
hagen, a noted ornithologist in Great
Britain, with the statement that dur
ing his anti-aircraft duties in the war,
he trained his men In instrumental
work by making them take observa-
lions Of the flights of birds. These he
collected and then confirmed their re-
suits by instrumental work himself.
He tells us that the speed of birds, as
thus accurately ascertained, is far be-
low what is popularity believed to be,
varying from 20 to 40 miles for the
smaller passeres to from 40 to 90 miles
an hour in the case of waders. Those
speeds represent steady flight, but
when bird is frightened by an enemy,
or when it is bouncing upon its prey,
it can be accelerated greatly for Inn
tied time. He estimates that for a
short distance the swift can reach
speed of 100 miles an hour.
The airplane, therefore, has greatly
surpassed the swiftness Of the birds
both in it's power of sustained speed
and in it's maximum speed. From lO0
to 100 milea an hour can be maintained
by many of the standard machines,
and we know that last year the racing
speed was carried up to from $50 to l9O
miles per hour, while recent models
are credited to be even faster.
Where the birds still greatly sur
pass the human flying machines is In
the matter Of taking off and alighting.
The seabirds, and sall birds in fact,
by changing the angle of incidence OF
their wings are able to reduce their
landing speed at a rate which the air
plane and the seaplane cannot at pres
ent approach.--Scientifc American.

BOND ISSUE is PLANNED
TO HELP JOBLESS OF u. S.
Proposed That Federal Government
Loan Money for Public Work
to Aid Unemployed.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Advisability Of
a federal bond issue to create fund
for making loans to aid municipal pub
lie works in years of depression when
jobs are scarce is under consideration
by subcommittee of the national con-
ference on unemployment
Such a proposal has been suggested
to the conference as part of plan for
permanent safeguards against bad
years for the nations workers. No
estimate of how many millions of dol
lars would be required for such a
fund has been made as yet. The plan
constitutes one of the recommends
tons Of the conference advisory COM
mittee.
Loans to municipalities would be
made by the federal government under
the plan only upon proof of national
unemployment and industrial depres-
sions, as shown by industrial and un-
employment statistics and upon proof
Of the soundness and utility of specif-
ic public works proposed. The inter-
est rate for loans to municipalities
would be not less than that paid by
the federal government.
Steps have been taken by city off,
Gals Of Boston and Cleveland to put
into effect the emergency relief pro-
gram adopted last week by the con-
ference, Secretary Hoover announced.
adding that he had been informed un-
officially that Portland, Oregon and
Milwaukee were working along the
same lines.
The conference will ask the bankers
Of the nation and mayors of all cities
to back the emergency program to
check unemployment planned by the
conference, Secretary Hoover said.

Claims of PhiIetaerus.

The custom CT stealing a poor mans
patent and claiming it as ones own Is
pretty ancient, observes the Detroit
News, Governor Philetaerus of Per-
gamurn, city in Mysia, Asia Minor,
is cited as one of the first examples
among the exalted pilferers, for arche-
ologists give him the credit Of having
invented the art of making parchment
in go B. c., though they admit that
it was probably humble artisan who
first conceived the idea of preparing
the skins of animals in such way
chat they could be used for writing
purposes.
Philetaerus, by the way, didn't en-
Joy his laurels oyer-long. He lost
his province to King Attalus in 19I.
And this ruler, taking advantage or
the existence of parchment estab-
lished library which, in those days,
was considered quite marvel. 1t
contained all of 800 manuscripts.
