place will increase in beauty and mai
esty.
The nrst national cemetery was es-
tablished at Gettysburg to make an
honored resting place for those who
on that great battlefield gave their
lives that the nation might live, and
then came the inspiration to make at
Arlington 4 cemetery that would be
national in Its widest sense. To pro-
vide this nnal resting place for the ma
tons dead, the government paid to the
heirs of Gen. Robert q. Lees wife,
$4,000 for property which had been
assessed In 1880 at S35,0 900.
The Arlington National cemetery
embraces 418 acres and since its es-
tablishment the government has spared
no expense to make 1t the most beau
tiful and attractive city OF the dead
OO0, 900 have been thus expended in
landscape engineering to enhance the
natural beauty Of the spot
World Holds Nothing Like IL.
The smphitheater Is a majestic ad-
dition which constitutes Arlington the
most magnificent Of cemeteries. There
Is nothing like II In the whole world.
Other nations have erected monuments
to successful generals, admirals aud
statesmen. They have provided fam
GUS places Of sepulture, az Westmin-
ster abbey, Pere La Chaise, the Pan
theon, and the Pyramids Of Egypt. But
Westminster abbey Is reserved for men
Of the highest distinction In any walk
Of life craftsmanship, invention,
science, letters, philanthropy, as well
as war. 1t is the same with Pere La
Chaise, while the Pyramids were tombs
for kings and queens only. But not so
with Arlington cemetery. Here equality
Of service and sacrifice dominates.
Commanding general and humble pr-
vate are on the same level the simple
rule Of eligibility for burial is the
same: yet it is iron-clad. Wealth,
birth, social station and political emf
nence, without military service. try for
admission in vain.
At Arlington have gathered during
the past generation the greatest Of the
nations military heroes to listen to and
to participate In eulogies and tributes
to their silent comrades all encnmped
about, and here each year In evsr-in-
creasing number are laid to their anal
rest many Of these same heroes Of the
wars. Every year sees a multitude of
new graves in Arlington and every
Memorial day witnesses the thinned
ranks Of the participants in the trs-
mendous conflict Of half q century ago
which has contributed the great ma
tority Of the members Of this Silent
City.

NERVY SHIP OWNERS

Baltimore,-In an effort to create
hostile public opinion against strik-
ing seamen and marine engineers,
ship owners at this port are printing
advertisements in the daily press that
foreign agitators are using the strike
to destroy the American merchant
marine"
These same ship owners, together
with Admiral Benson of the United
States shipping board, refused the
request of the seamen and marine
engineers, before the strike, that
Americans be given first preference
in employment and that second pref
erence be given workers who have
declared their intention Of becoming
American citizens.
The ship owners now ignore this
refusal, as does every other 100 per
cent American"

"SPEED-UP" SYSTEM
Boosted By Blanton And
Underhill Rejected
BY Congress

Washington-The house refused to
legalize the Taylor "speed-up" system
while discussing the army appropria-
tion bill. The defenders of the sys-
tenn were Congressman Underhill
(Mass.) and Blanton (Texas). The
former sells hardware and recently
received little cheap notoriety by an
attack on President Gompers and the
trade union movement. He exhibited
the same intelligence in discussing the
"speed-up" system when he acknow-
ledged he knew nothing about it. Con-
gresham Blanton made his stereo-
typed speech, when matters concern
ing labor are being considered
Congressman Nolan, member of the
Iron Molders' Union, challenged any
colleague to read the committee hear
ings on this proposition and then de-
fend it on the floor Of the house.
"You can not apply this sort of a
system to human beings" said the
trade unionist. "You can not time
them as you time a horse or dog
on coursing park or the athlete on
the cinder path, who trains for par
ticular race or game. You have got
to give some consideration to the hu-
man element involved in industry"
Congressman Hull called attention
to letter written by the present
president of the American Engineer
ing Society, who originated the Tay-
lor system, and who has since repud-
lated it.

those who want a job holding a stop

"Are you going to measure eff

EFFECT OF ADAMSON
LAW

Washhgton,-At the hearing of
the senate comittee that is inyesti-
eating the railroads, Senator Myers
asked this question:
81 want to know if you were able
to give US just at this time the per-
centage of operating cost paid for
labor in 1916, just before the Adam
son law took effect, and in 1912"
Alfred P Thorn, attorney for the
railroads, replied:
"In 1916, 62.3 cents; 1917, 61.5 cts;
1918, 65.6 cents; 1919, 646 cents;
1920, GAL cents;"
These figures should interest those
who insist that the Adamson law is
strangling the railroads.

AND THEN HIS
PIPE WENT OUT

Last night dreamed of land so fair,
Where the rivers were Pilsen beer,
Where fountains Of rickeys shot up in
the air,
And everything else was queer
Wide brooks of gin fizzes on every
hand,
Great lakes of cold Rhine wine,
And pumps spouting cocktails to beat
the band,
For the thirsty ones standing in line.
Creme de menthe swamps of beau
tiful green,
With island of fine cracked ice,
Such sight was ne'er before seen,
All! but that dream was nice.
Mint juleps in puddles flowed in the
street,
In which tired horses soaked their feet
While enjoying heavenly snooze.
Champagne flowed from fire plugs,
In bubbly streams with hiss,
And street cleaners drank it from
deep stone jugs,
All! such a dream of bliss.
Highballs galore rolled about on the
ground,
And were chased by thirsty crowd,
While the paralyzed grafters hanging
around
In drunken glee shouted aloud.
Oh, this bibulous dream was happy
dream,
The result of an all-night bat;
Where the wet things flowed in a
beautiful stream
When they carried me home on a
slat,

 While Deauville boasts of it's inter national atmosphere, it is not proud of the large number of international characters' who gather there each season for purposes of plunder. To handle this lIght-fingered gentry. the Paris police department has sent some of it's best detectives and policemen to assist the local force. The result has been that fewer pieces of jew elry have disappeared from hotel rooms than in previous years,
 All except the wealthiest of French people have contented themselves with one-day visits to Deauville this year. The reason Is the excessive prices charged by hotels and restau- rants.
