Blue Laws Won't
Help, Says Pastor

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Here
comes a preacher from London who
views the hose display here and then
goes on record against Puritans and
blue laws.
'Puritanism won't lengthen women's
skirts he says.
Both men and women know i'm
modesty when they see it, so don't try
as a remedy the measures of Puritan
ISM
The reverend gentleman with these
decided views on skirts and legislation
is Dr. r, j. Campbell Of Christ Church,
Westminster, England.
Remember this" he says in defense
of modern fashions, that the short skirt
of past ages, which swept the germs up
off the sidewalks and carried them into
the homes"
AS a further indication that he was
not going to get worried over the
ankles displayed in California be
added:
THE abuse Of anything furnishes its
own corrective, And we must not step
backward into Puritanism In an effort
to find a remedy"

pleasant for him. Neither Xantippe nor
Mrs. Powers has been heard.
Mrs. Powers wasn't in the Clark Cir

seeking q divorce, told how his six weeks
Of married life-June s. 1920, to July 1s
-entailed weeping and wailing and
gna shing Of teeth on his part.
One night, Mr.. Powers said, the cows
on the farm, cast Of Jeffersonville, where
he spent the six weeks of unhappiness,
broke into the oats. Mrs. Powers had
been visiting and returned at midnight.
She saw the cows in, the oats.
His wife, Powers continued, blamed
him for the occurrence. He-philOsoph-
ically-had put it down to the well known
perversity Of cows. Not so with Mrs.
Powers
According to her husband, she drove
him from the house. Powers said he
sought refuge In tn ebarn. As dawn
broke, he crept back into the house, en-
sering through a window. Mrs. Powers

NINE PAYS
EMPLOYEES GET GOOD WAGES
AND SHARE OF PROFITS

Cooperative coal mining is gaining
favor among Hungarian miners in tbs
United States. Several large enter.
pr,ses IN the bituminous fields are
now being operated by them.
The foreign language information
service in making public this fact
said that the Himler Coal company
Of Himlerville. w. Va, is the largest
of these cooperative mining con-
Germs and that it is owned and con-
trolled by its 1,40o Hungarian work-
ers.
These miners are receiving good
wages, it was stated, and are also
sharing in the profits of the enter
prise, which they financed at cost
Of 100000. They are now planning
to raise 100000 to obtain control
of additional coal land and workings
The cooperative company was
founded by Martin Himler, an expe-
rienced Hungarian coal miner, who
came into West Virginia and estab-
lished small newspaper about two
years ago. The company has now
built the entire town of Himlerville.
There 1t maintains bank and pub
fishes weekly paper in the Hunga-
rian language, the Magyar Banyasz-
lap Hungarian Miners Journal. 1t
also recently built power house to
supply homes of the miners with
electricity.
The governors Of Kentucky and
West Virginia are said ia have COM
mended the company and its pro-
moter for the erection of railroad
bridge connecting Himlerville with
Kermit, Ky. Across this structure
the company is operating its own
transportation. The bridge has also
made 1t possible for the Norfolk &
Western railroad to make the mining
town a regular station.
Although the workings of the co
operative company are in the lower
Tug river district where there has
been considerable labor trouble, the
Hungarian miners have been steadily
working with no fea ROT strikes. The
company stockholders at recent
meeting invited public inspection Of
their books, mines and workshops.
Another similar enterprise, the
Nebo American Coal company. has
been incorporated in Kentucky, with
IL capital Of $4,000. all owned by
the workers themselves.

MEAT PACKING
BUSINESS GETTING
BACK TO NORMALLY
BY HAROLD d. JACOBS.


NEW YORK, August 20.-The
meat packing business, one Of the
largest industries in the country, 10
rapidly getting back to q normal
basis.
In practically every line the pack
ers are experiencing substantial in
creases over pre-war business and the
export trade IL evincing "encourag-
ing proportions"
"If the tone of trade in what u
probably the nations largest indus
try-meat packing-is any criterion
of general business, all manufac-
turers Of essential commodities can
face the immediate prospect with
some degree of confidence" Thomas
e. Wilson of Chicago declared In q
telegraphic statement to the United
Press today.
Wilson said that during the period
of depression packers often sold their
products below cost, but maintained
production because of sense of OBJ
legation to the public. He endorsed
the passage by congress Of the pack
ers' bill regulating the meat industry.

GERMANY OBJECTS
TO MANY AMERICAN
PEACE TREATY SECTIONS
May Appeal to International Arbitra-
ton to Straighten Out
Difficulties
BY CARL D. GROAT

! d SAfL IL. GROAI
BERLIN, Aug. 2O.-Germany may
appeal many issues contained in the
German-American peace treaty to in
! ternational arbitration.
The treaty, it was learned, does not
contain declaration of Germany's
guilt in starting the war. Germany
would have fatty refused to sign had
such an admission been included.
In many quarters the feeling pre-
vailed that the difficulties of the pre-
liminary negotiations between DR..
Rosen, foreign minister and Ellis
Loring Dresel, American commission
er, had been smoothed out.
But one Of the leading authorities.
who has been thoroughly initiated
into developments, informed the
United Press that Geramny claims the
following difficulties stand in the
way:
First-Germany asserts that Amer
lea Is asking too much.
Second-The treaty is alleged to
be so closely woven that the United
States could later impose what Ger
many calls impossible burdens.
Third-Germany claims the treaty
is too bureaucratic in style and not
sufficiently comprehensive.
Fourth-It is urged that the treaty
provides for nothing more than a pre-
liminary peace.
This is the substance of the German
wall.
Another authority Informed the
United Press that Germany will at
tempt to refer the question Of the
Lusitania and other sinking indemni-
ties as we'll as other controversial
questions, to international arbitra-
ton.
