Either I was particularly fortunate

me Westminster abbey or Stratford-

He was small. solemn, Owlish old
man, so far from deserving the charge
Of not knowing the Bible, he deserved

elaborate simplicity with which he
told the first facts OF the Gospel story,

Anyhow, he did not talk like cheap

He made it very clear that Jesus

For over Il year, however, Mark had

Marks side line was old coins and
rare postage stamps.
Mark worked for a real estate firm.
He came back to the Office one morn
ing quite elated over his last savings
deposit, which brought his balance up
to the two hundred mark. He was
ready for a joke, therefore, and he
smiled good-naturedly when the book

Strike At Small Mine Ties Up
 Everything

Washint gon -W When employees at the Keeley coal mine, Dugger, Indi- ana, 20 of them, go on strike the em- ployers, 37 of them and also work ing miners, strike, too. The whole job comes to a stop until the execu- tive board of the Miners Union arbi- trates the dispute.
 For the Kee1y mine is a co-opera- tive partnership affair, operating the property under lease. The 37 are the partners and the 20 'day men, are employed by the 37. And J. J. Bour- quin of the Bureau of Mines, in a re- port asserts the Kee1y mine is one of the few similar properties being op- erated successfully on a cooperative basis" A majority of attempts pre- viously had resulted in 'utter fai1ure'' he said, but the success for the Keely mine plan after eight years is marked and the partners are planning pur- chase of the property.
 The mine has an output of about 300 tons a day., all by pick work as no machines are used. It is NOT in corporated and any indebtedness rests upon the partners individually swell as upon the partnership. Only men who mine and load the coal are eIfeIble for partnership and day Workers eun1oyed get the regular

90,00O POUNDS OF CICARETS BURNED

.Paris-American cigarette smoke obScured the northern horizon of Paris for 4S hours this week when 99,000 pounds of cigarettes originally brought here for the United States army were burned.
 Relays of 8 policemen were need ed to keep off raiders who had ardent desires to burn the cigarettes, one at time, in the usual manner.

 There were 632 metal lined cases of cigarettes burned. They were con- demned by French authorities and destroyed according to law. They were part of two lots rain soaked in shipment through faulty metal lining in the cases Many cases, not too badly damaged, were sa1vaged when the French authorities could be con- vinced that a moist cigarette would be more welcome than none at all to some smokers.

boys have been subjected by the state legislature and the so-called ex-ser- vice men organizations.
 We have been deprived of our bonus, the bread has actually been taken from the mouths of needy men, and we have no one to thank except
 the American Legion and the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars. These organiZ- | ed bodies undertook to direct our af- l fairs, and under he canoufage of, | Good Samaritan, they have brought
 suffering and sorrow to more than one home.
 Neither of these organizations is | representative of the thousands ot | Connecticut boys who served in the World War. They are not even rep | reSentative of the majority of Bridge
 port boys. In fact in this city there l are approximately IS to 20 per cent | of the ex-service men who are mem 1 bers while the other so to S5 per
 cent. are unorganized- and misrep- l resented.
 | There are more than 500 cases in Bridgeport alone where former sol- diers, sailors and marines are in | actual need and really living from | a blessing and whose future meals
 are mysteries. Many of these boys
 are married and have families. They
 are out of work, without funds, and | without prospects of obtaining either. Without the slightest doubt, I can 1 truthfu1ly say that every one of these
 boys (who not so long ago were the
 much footed heroes who were to live
 on the fat of the land, who would never need while our patriotic citi-
 Zens knew it, who would be inmedi-
 ately taken back to work) looked
 with longing and expectancy towards l the bonus as the one thing that would
 bring cheer to their leaden hearts, that would provide nourishment, care
 and clothing for their unfortunate lit , tie tots, and that would once more . bring a smile to the wan, pale fea- . lures of their wives.
 And what did they get? One ot the bitterest disap pointments of their lives! heir only hope and salvation was practically shattered, and they I were forced to turn their faces towards the future that holds nothing for them but suffering, privation and misery.
 , These boys have no one but the
 American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars to thank for their } plight. Because of the meddling and } unwarranted and unauth orized die . tatorship of their affairs by such or ganizations, who in this case were
 nothing more than plain busy-bodies , Neither the American Legion nor
 the Veterans of Foreign Wars had the | right to take away the bonus, and | sincerely trust you will allow me the 5 use of your column to echo the thoughts and opinion of practically every ex-service man in the state who } belongs to neither organization DISAPPOINTED VETERAN.

AN OLD RECIPE
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly com pounded. brings back the natural col. pr and 1ustre to the hair when faded. stzeaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make at home, which is mussy ane trou- ,lesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any rug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- hur Compound" You will get a lrge bottle of this o1d-time recipe aproved by the addition of other in. redients, at very little cost. Every. ody uses this preparation now, be- 1use no one can possibly tell that you arkened your hair, as it does 1t SO :turally and evenly. You dampen
 sponge or soft brush with it and

penalizes the absentee in the profit sharing.
 A reserve fund and purchase fund are being maintained by deduct ing from each partners share on pay days, but if a partner quits, he gets all these asSeSSm entS back. New blood is taken into the partnership as needed from men employed at the mine.
 Personal of the partnership group has undergone many changes since the original ten miners undertook the scheme, the report said. but after a hard struggle the property is on a paying basis and earnings of the partners high. A recent payday, semi ni-monthly, showed one miner with 97 tons produced receiving $127 after all expenses and assessm ents had been deducted, while a miner turning out the same amount in near by company operated properties

NeIUs Of Veterans

Disfavor is voiced on al! sides fol- lowing the action of the American Le- zion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars in. withdrawing from a com- mittee hearing before the state 1egis- ture the two bonus bills. As the mat ter now stands, there is little possi- bility of a bonus being provided for the Connections veterans and the only legislative action that will be of ben eft to them and that still has a chance of passing is the bill provid- ing for the increase of theS tate aid fund from $2,50O,000 to- s5,000,o0O. ' F The majority of ex-service men are bitterly resenting the action of the them of their bonus. and the follow ing letters from veterans ably set forth their ideas on the subject: Editor, Veteran Column:-
 In regard to the throw down the rank and file of ex-service men have gotten at the hands of the legislature I would like to register in few | words.
 It was a mistake for the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and their agents. to have been | considered as representative of the | great body of ex-service men, many | of them unemployed at the present | time. If you will take a census of | any factory or large office building I
 think you will find that there are more | ex-service men that belong to neither ganizations combined.
 | Many officers of these ex-service mems organizations have sufficient financial standing or family connec-
 tions, which in many cases have caused them to be officers, to afford to be patriotic. It was a. grave error that will live long in the memory o1 the eX-Service men for the legislature
 not to have done what that body
