There has never been a case any
where, where the government has set
such tribunal to treat with labor
matters that it has not resulted in
muddling everything up.
The government position has al
ways come to one Of coercing labor
of threatening with Jail and injunc-

Where Did You Get
The Word HOSPITAL?

One of the features of an ancient
Roman home were the "hospitalia,"
or apartments set aside for strangers
or "hospites." Hence, in its original
meaning the word "hospitar was
applied to places where strangers
were received and kindly entertain
ed. The commonly restricted use Of
the term to designate places where
sick strangers were received was an
after
The word came to us directly from
the French, who got it from the Ro-
mans. 1t is derived, of course, from
the same root as "hospitable." The
name "Hospitaler" was borne with
pride by several semi-religious and
emimilitary orders, like the
Knights Of st. John or the knights
OF Malta. who made it a business to
relieve the. poor, the strangers and
the sick.
1t is worth noting that the first
"hospitar' for diseased men and ami
mails was established by the Bud
