existence THAT was the idea that pre-

Federal establishment, and 1t was
that fact that prompted millions OF
men, to spring to arms and fight four
years Of bloody war to preserve the

In earlier days the American peo-
nle STORMY forbade the government
at Washington to do anything the
States could do. In 1922 we are
fallen on times when the States re-
fuse to do anything the Federal es-
Establishment can be persuaded to do
or caioled to do or ibullied to do.

TRADITIONAL STORY OF GENOA
Detroit News)

An inscription in the Cathedral
Of st. Lawrence contains the trad1-
tional account of Genoa's foundation
by Janus, the first King Of Italy.
and descended from the Giants"
adding that he was ''great-grandson
|of Noah," and that he founded the
city Gin the time Of Abraham" As
matter of fact, its name is derived
not from Janus" but from the
Latin genus" ("knee"), owing to
the shape of the coast, but its antiq-
uity was conclusively proved in
1898 by the discovery Of ancient
vases of the Fifth Century before
Christ, which, if not used by the
contemporaries of Abraham, were at
least of the same age as the Persian
wars in Greece and the early Repub-
lie in Rome.
The first mention of the city,
however, in Roman history is it's
destruction by Mayo, the Cartha-
ginian General, during the second
Punic War, and it's refounding by
the Romans in 203. One memorial
of Roman Genoa still survives In
the shape of a bronze tablet, now
in the town hall, containing the
judgment of Roman arbitrators in a
dispute between the city and anoth-
er, place in 1T B. c. Apoccopius &C
curately described Genoa as "well
situated as a port of call for the
voyage to Gaul and to Spain," as 1T
still is.

She marked her initials on it

Her diligence was rewarded
when she was handed a dollar at a
Montesano, Wash, store recently. 1t

Is UNITED STATES TO FACE
LABOR SHORTAGE2

According to figures of the De-
partment of Labor, the United
States may shortly face a labor
shortage, it's unemployment problem
completely solved.
Director General Jones of the En-
ployment Service, declares the
country is steadily but surely forg-
ing it's way toward a period of in
dustrial prosperity in which it is
possible that the labor supply will
not equal the demand" Optimism,
he believes, pervades every indus
try in every part of the country.
Economists of the Nations Capt.
tai sound note of caution to those
to whom any optimistic statement is
taken at it's face value rather than
for its meaning. They point out
that labor shortage does not nee
essarily mean that every man in the
country has a job, but that there
are jobs enough if every man with
out a job could get to it. No country
at any time in history, has ever sue.
ceeded in effecting such perfect dis
tribution of labor that all jobs were
tlways filled without there being
any jobs or men left over. Thus at
the present time there are States
with too many farm hands and
States with crying need for farm
hands. There are industries with a
forceful demand for skilled laborers
which can not be found and trades
with skilled laborers who can not
find work. 1t is fundamental and
countrywide conditions which the
Department of Labor considers. and
in summarizing the decrease in un-
employment and the coming labor
shortage in certain lines, it shows
only a national aspect of grave ques-
tions. Local conditions may contra
dict national ones in cretain places
without prejudice to the accuracy of
the statistics as a whole.
With practically every industry in
the country taking on more men and
with Wall Street and the banking
interests registering optimism, it is
not difficult to read into predictions
of labor shortage comforting as
surance of coming solid and pre-
war normal prosperity. Such, at
least, is the mature judgment of i'm
partial Government experts.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ga
briel Wells, of New York, a rare
copy of the Gutenberg Bible, which
is his, is now on temporary exhibi-
ton at the National Museum in
Washington.
Gutenberg invented the art Of
printing from movable type. Prior
to his time printing was done from
carved wooden blocks, on which was
everything which appeared on a
page. Gutenberg invented the three
essentials of modern printing,
changed only in details since his
day in the early part of the fif-
tenth century. These three things,
type, mold from which the type is
cast, and matrix, from which the
mold is made, have had more pow
erful influence upon the world than
any other invention or discovery
ever made. Through them all
knowledge is spread; through
printing the Bible has become the
worlds book. Through printing has
education of the masses been accom-
plished; through printing has civil
ization displaced barberism, and
knowledge taken the place of igno-
rance and superstition. 1t is print
ing which has caused the downfall
of tyranny, material and spiritual;
printing which brought the ideals of
liberty, fraternity, equality. toler-
alton, education, and freedom to a
world once divided between oppres
sors and the oppressed.
Gutenberg printed the first Bible
ever formed, except by hand or in
abbreviated form, from carved wood
en- blocks. The Gutenberg Bible,
now valued at from fifty to a hun
dred thousand dollars a copy, is far
more than a Bible. To-day most
beautiful Bibles can be bought for a
few cents; to-day we have penny
newspapers and ten cent magazines,
books for half a dollar, and Libraries
of them free to millions of people.
They are all children of the Guten-
berg Bible; all fruit of the mind of
the humble mechanic of five hun
dred years ago, whose influence has
changed a world to its betterment
as no other man, save Christ, has
ever changed it.

RADIUM LESS IN PRICE AT $3.50
PER MILLIGRAM

Radium, wonder element, used
extensively in the treatment of can
Ger and in the laboratory of the
physicist, has decreased in price
from Is to 20 per cent, according to
announcements of the principal
! company extracting the rare min
eral from the ore.
About $50 tons of ore are requir-
ed to yield single gram of radium.
The ore is mined in Colorado and
must be shipped across the country
!! to New Jersey for the extracting
process. Hence the cost of a gram
of radium is a product of the cost of
the ore, plus the transportation of
$50 tons of mineral earth. plus the
process of extraction of the radium.
With the substance increasing in
value to humanity every day it is
used, physicians and others interest
ed in its employment are wondering
why it is not possible to erect an ex-
| traction plant in Colorado in order
to avoid the need for the long haul
of thousands of tons of earth across
the country. The entire product of
radium for the year could be carried
comfortably in mans pocket; why
spend the money for coal and handl
ing of the earth which carries the
radium; why not extract it at the
mine mouth and transport the fin
ished product,

OF being unanimous, the Towner-
sterling bill, creating a Department
OF Education. with a Secretary in
the Presidents Cabinet, was en-
dorsed as being the great necessity
IL educational progress is to receive
proper governmental aid in this
country.
Mr.. Will H. Hays, former Post
master General and now head of the
motion picture industry, offered the
cooperation of the movies to the ed
ucational world.
There is already great demand
1or pedagogic pictures" Mr.. Hays
said. II propose that we jointly
study that demand, and that we
jointly find ways and means of sup
plying it. Let committee be ap-
pointed of this association make I'D
OF the very best talent within your
ranks; let them meet with the great
producers of the country and find
ways to use our facilities. We ask
you to aid us and to let us aid
you in the study of the whole prob
lem of the use of the motion picture
as a direct pedagogic instrument"
Plans for world conference on
education, to take place in 1923,
were offered the convention.
Invitations are being sent to As
countries to join America in the en-
terprise. The committee recon-
mended that out of the world confer
ence should come an international
education association. The commit
tee also proposed that the world con-
ference discuss a world peace expo
sition to be held in 1880.

PLAYING HORSE
louisville Herald)

We should walk on all tours in
stead of on two feet, for nature in
tended man to be quadruped. This
thrilling suggestion comes from an
able authority-Courtiere, celebrat-
ed French scientist.
Men who have hunted for collar
buttons under the bureau will not
agree with him. Nor will the father
whose young son insists that pa
"play horse"
Courtiere's suggestion is valuable,
however, if for no other reason
than the laughs it starts. Anything
that takes peoples minds of their
problems and stops morbid intro
spection-analysis of self-is a
stimulant and tonic.
That is why so many men, tagged
out from the days work, turn to the
newspaper comic pictures before
they read page-one news stories.
Evolutionists believe that man
once scrambled about ION all fours''
like monkey. What made him get
up on his hind legs? Probably 1t
was the discovery that he could walk
that way and use his forelegs to
carry home an armful of cocoanuts
for his family.
In those days human arms must
have been as long as the legs, like
monkeys you have seen in the cir
Gus with their hands reaching be-
low their knees as they stalked
about.
Gradually the arms shortened to a
more convenient length. Such is the
scientific theory interesting,
whether you believe it or not
Courtiere is not the only scientist
who thinks we are violating natural
laws by not walking like quadru-
peds.
Standing up, your stomach and
other internal organs sag. Their ar
rangement indicates that their most
natural position is when we are on
hands and knees. Possibly this ex-
plains our instructive attempt to
brace up our abdomens by corsets,
belts and tight trouser bands.
The correct position of the body
in walking may be debatable. But
this much is certain: When feeling
dizzy or ill in any way, nothing
beats lying on the back.
A person lying down relieves his
internal machinery of the strain
that is always present when moving
about on the feet. The heart, too,
has less work to do in pumping the
blood.
Rest and complete relaxation
even for only ten or twenty minutes
at a time-often will enable the
body to recharge it's batteries suffici-
emily to ward off what might de-
velop into serious illness.
We get ill on our feet. We re-
cover lying down.
