leaders kept watch tonight to guard
against any unauthorized walkout
of shop men which it was feared
might develop in protest against tho

warned the men against quitting
work at this time
The fact that a strike vote taken
by the shop men several weeks ago
in connection with the wage reduc
tion effective June so, was reported
to have been strongly in favor OF 4
walkout, adds to the seriousness Of
the situation, it was said tonight by
union officials. The fear that an un-
authorized strike might deveIop

which detailed, enlarged pictures of
intricate surgical operations are TAX
en- without interfering with the op-
Grating physicians and without the
presence of a camera operator has
been perfected by DR.. A Won Rothe,
of Berlin, and now is being used in
number of German medical univer-
stiles, for the benefit of students. 1t
is claimed that the students secure
better instructions from a study of
the moving picture of the operation
than from witnessing the operation
itself.
The operation camera" is design
ed to hang directly above the operat-
ing physicians hands. The cinema

After the machine has been plac-

 Japan expected a defation of values at the end of the great war, but few merchants even thought of the year of bad business that 1920 brought to the empire.

THRU FRANCE
 PRICES STAY
 AT HIGH PEAK
By International News service)

lbk international Nt"S StTNlCtt PARIS. Aug. 1.-High cost of labor is one of the principal factors which is keeping the cost of living in France at almost the maximum point attained after the war. while other countries are reporting perceptible decreases.
 In not q single important industry in France has there been any wage reduction since the war, nor is there likely to be for at least arCthor six months. Ou tho contrary, salaries are still on the increase in some indus, tries. with consequent increases in the cost of manufactured commodities.
 Several attempts have been made by big manufacturers notably in the automobile industry. to negotiate wage decreases with their employees on the lines of those recently agreed to in the United States and in Belgium In each instance the labor leaders have refused to enter into any nego- tations and have insisted on a re- vision of all wage scale upward. if Gny revision at all is made.
 Labor holds the situation well in hand at present. because labor is in big demand, and labor leaders know it. While England is confronted with q grave problem of unemployment, French workers have had no difficulty at all getting jobs since the war. and for that reason they are not at all d's. posed to accept any salary cuts what ever the arguments advanced by the employees.
 In Belgium serious effort is be- ing made to bring down wages as q first step in lower cosr O. living and the government has achieved some results. Each month an index list, reporting variations in prices of the chief elements entering into the cost of living, is published, ana manufacturers and workmen are in vited to discuss wages on the basis of these lists. The laborers have con sented to some reductions, though they have established as a principle that in no case shall their wages drop below those earned in 1914 and that in every cast they must earn more
 in an eight-hour day than they earned in a ten-hour day in 1914.
 The high cost of labor in France has made its effect felt largely in the building industries. Many new manu- featuring plants have been set up since the war, but the erection Of dwellings and business houses has been carried out on very limited scale.

day. And if ina agination be allowed
conjured up to exert their evil influ-
ence in our lives? Fortunately, most
of US had forgotten the banefuI COM
bination when chanticleer, or some
other means, called US from our slum-
Der this morning. The balance may
spend the day in trepidation, watching
carefully each step to see that no Of
fense be given to the powers that rule
the destinies of mankind thru witch
craft and magic. For in the rec
ognizance, really. of such powers, is
to be found the source of much of our
superstition of today.
Nine persons out of ten will ignore
the unfortunate incident when the
tenth spills the salt upon the table,
but five of the nine will secretly wish
for an opportunity to throw some of
the salt over their left shoulders in
an effort to ward off the evil conse-
quences of the happening. The broken
mirror has. perhaps. contributed as
largely to the furtherance of misery in
the world as any other circumstance

their share of the varied couplets and
rhymes that have come down to us
from ancient days to plague the TWEEN

nursery and they flaunt themselves
before US on the street or in the
home.
The number "13" probably obtained
its evil reputation from the fact that
there were thirteen present at the
Paschal Supper. Friday. the day on
which the greatest crime in the his
tory of mankind was perpetrateds sub
sequently came in for its share of sus-
picion of evil.
And so, tho today is Friday, the
l. 9th, by keeping a cool head and not
letting your imagination dwell too
long upon the day and date, it is more
than likely the 14th will find you hale
and hearty. no worse off for the ex-
perience.
