Williamson, w. Va.-Firing on the
Crystal Block Coal Company head
house at Rawl, w. Va, broke out, ac.
cording to reports received here by
Capt. j. r. Brockus, at state police
headquarters. The shots were fired,
Capt. Brockus said, from the Kentucky
mountains. He added that the shoot
ing lasted only few minutes.
Shortly before the report of the
shooting at Rawl was received, Capt.
Brockus had sent a message to Gov.
Morgan at Charleston, saying that all
was quiet, but that the situation was
distinctly threatening all along the
line"
An Associated Press correspondent
had traversed the trouble zone from
Rawl to Sprigg with Capt. Brockus
and a detachment of state police an
hour earlier without hearing a shot.
Evidences of the battles of the last
few days, however, were plentiful at
Rawl, Merrimac and Sprigg. Houses
and stores in these towns were riddled
with bullets and windows, mirrors and
show cases were shattered.
A coat hanging in one house at
Sprigg. in which six men and two
women took refuge from the fire, was
found to contain II bullet holes. The
eight persons escaped injury, although
the house had been shattered.

POLITICAL POSITIONS.

THERE are many civic positions
which will certainly be open 10
women in short time, not only
here and there, but everywhere. In
many of our smaller cities and towns
the women's clubs have done great
civic work already, proving that wom-
en- are well fitted To do such work.
There is no reason ut all why woman
should not be commissioner of street
cleaning, and there seem to be many
reasons pointing To the fact that she
would be an excellent one. As factory
inspectors. as recorders, and in posi-
tlors having To do with the household
side OF the community. women can do
excellent work.
Women who go into politics should
go with Il sense of service to the body
polite. IL they do that and can point
TO results that prove them square,
honest ana devoted MANY women are
going to find themselves elected to city
Jobs.
If you have laVbentCtawinqi civic
work, study the problems in your own
community. The past generation saw
the marvellous development of women
as 10 the business world. The. coming
one is sure tosseeaan equally. amazing
entry into the world of political work.
So far women who have been APP
pointed to various city or state posi-
lions have not had to play politics.
They haye been given such positions
because they were fittedsfor athernyrrti'
had the necessary training. That Is
the right spirit. Get your training and
do your studying. know your problems
and the type of people with whom you
must work. If you are fit for the job.
you have as good chance as your
brother TO get it-or you will have be-
fore old time is much older.

WHEN Y0r TELEPHONE.

TN THE business world it is no lon
i ger considered good form when you
telephone to use the word Hello
designated by one of the telephone
directors as 'san ungraceful and rude
little word" Much less then ought it
to be used in social telephoning and
the telephoning that takes place after
business hours and in the home. ~
Remember-telephon courtesy be-
gins when the bell rings" says a lit
tie booklet recently got cut by one OF
the telephone companies. Now this
is something that the young man or
woman in business has to remember.
He knows. for instance, If he is deal
ing with possible buyers that he is far
more apt to get an order if he does
remember 1t. If he responds to the
telephone with a .surly, sWhat do you
wantT' before he knows who is call
ing and then. when he realizes that
It Is customer, changes the tone Of
his voice and his mode of speech, he
has made a bad beginning. and he is
less apt to make a sale than IL he
opens the conversation with courtesy
and cordially.
Now here are some things that you
should remember whether you are u.s.
ing the telephone for business or pure
ly social or personal purposes.
If you open the telephone CONVERSE
ton do not ask any one to give his or
her name until you announce your
own.
If you are calling a certain person
in a household and another member
OF the family whose voice you recog-
nize answers do not ignore that per-
son. saying. Hello. want to speak
to Mary" but rather something like
this: GOOD morning. Jane; this Is
Claire speaking May talk to MaryY
If another person opens the tele-
phone conversation do not make the
mistake of prolonging the conversation
after she has finished her Grand Es-
pecially if an Out-of-town wire is be
ing used. be careful not to cause the
other person to have to pay double
tolls because of your verbosity.

LYRICS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE MAN YOUR BOY WILL BE

YoU sometimes worry wonder what
" Your hoy will be a man;
i You like TO look ahead a lot
The future try To scan.
You hope he'll be man In fact
As well as man in size,
And So his every boyish act
You watch with anxious eyes.
But do not worry-you can tell
The man your boy will be,
II he the truth will follow well
You try TO make him see;
You need not watch his nights and days
In search of guilt or guile
You only need TO turn your gaze
Upon yourself awhile.
There is the place for men TO look,
For fathers TO inquire:
Sons do not learn life from a book
They learn il from their sire.
The rule you make your boy obey
Must be the rule for you
The boy will heed the thing you sa5
But more the thing will do
1t is not difficult TO know
The future OF the lad
For he will very likely grow
Exactly like his dad.
The life he leads as time unfolds,
When boyhood days are fed.
VIII be the life he now beholds-
The life his father led.

Conspicuous among the great liter

of veneratiOn TO the French people
and the Slav race as well, which van

battle of the Marine. Princess Anna

ruler of France used Ii at Reims
the rights and privileges of the
Roman Catholic church. King Charles
Y, the last French king crowned at
Reims, kissed the sacred volume in
sealing his coronation oath in 1928.
Peter the Great of Russia journeyed
to Reims to see 1t, and received it
while kneeling and pressed it to his
lips and breast. 1t survived the
French wars OF 1000 years; it was
hidden away during the French reyo-
luton; it reappeared with the Bour-
bon restoration In 1915. lf
The book was written I'm the Bull

Nothing worth while in life can be

HORTENSE.

TT ORTENSE Is essentially French
name, though she has been
adopted by all countries and she
has the almost unique distinction
among feminine names of having no
contractions, diminutiveS or offspring
of any form. Hortense she begins and
Hortense she remains throughout his
tory, with the single exception of Italy
where the HI is sometimes dropped
and she is called Ortensia.
Like Sylvia. she is something of an
ancient sylvan name. having come
originally from the Latin ''hortus,"
meaning a garden. The slave who
tended those elaborate Roman gardens
was called hortensius, and, finally
through some strange quirk of fancy,
1t came to name an honorable old
plebeian game.
For many centuries it continued in
Italy and gradually the masculine form
Ortensio came into use as a proper
name, quickly followed by the fem
mime Ortensia. The most famous Or
tensia of those days was Ortensia
Mancini, the niece of Mazarin. This
notable lady carried her name into
France, where the French straightway
placed the stamp of their language
upon 1t by calling IT Hortense. Since
that time many famous women have
borne 1t, particularly those Of royal
circles.
Hortnese's jewel is the diamond,
which is said TO give its wearer fear
lessness. invulnerability and to bring
victory in any endeavor, provided,
however, that it is received as a gift
and not purchased. To exercise its
best power it should be set in gold
and worn on the left hand. Its po-
tency for Hortense is concerned not
only with lovers, but is extended to
enhance the love of husband for his
wife. Saturday is her lucky day and
six her lucky number.
The daisy, signifEing innocence, is
Hortense's flower.
