Chicago, Sept. 9.-Muriel McCor-
mick, the poor. little. rich girl, daugh-
ter of Harold r. Mccormick, the har-
vester magnate. is bored by the
emptiness of Gold Coast" society.
Heiress to millions, she has decided
to give up her mansion home and
take a fiat down on Oak street where
the dirty-faced kiddies play barefoot
in the streets while their mothers
gossip over the family clothesline on
the back porch.
I'm lonesome" said Muriel, dis
GUESSING her decision. II want to live
with the common people-with real
people. That's why I've decided to
take this fiat"
Oak street. though it never laid
claim to social distinction, has quite
a reputation. for part of it lies in
Little Italy, and its cobblestones
have been drenched with the blood
of many vendetta victims.
OF course, Muriel's new home is
quite a distance from Little Italy,
but it's Oak street nevertheless.
Muriel's neighbors-to-be aren't in
the least excited about the coming
of the million -heiress into their midst.

ENGLISH WOMEN
ASK MORE SEATS
in PARLIAMENT

London.-The women of England
are preparing an intensive campaign
with a view to securing more women
members of parliament. They are
quite satisfied with Lady Astor and
Mrs. Wintringham. but they want
more women in the house of COM
mons to keep these two from feeling
lonesome. They have now formed a
committee to embrace all parties
except the communist. They call it
the Women's Election committee.
They are raising "A central fund, too,
to help women candidates. Anyone
who sends along more than a pound
a have it earmarked for the sup
port of a candidate for n particu-

The Duchess of Atholl has her eye
on a seat Inc although her aristo-

her from engaging in an electoral
contest, it is understood she is pre-
pairing to stand for the parliamentary
vacancy that will occur if the ex-
pected promotion of the lord advocate

Mine ii MULE;
DISAPPEARING
Touch of Romance Marks
the Retreat Of Faithful
Beast of Burden.

West Frankfurt, Ill. The mine
mule. whose history dates back to
the days OF early coal mining in
southern Illinois, gradually is disap-
pearing just as Old Dobbin. the once
familiar dray horse. With the
gradual disappearance of the faithful
hard tall old miners are preserving
for posterity tales of pathcs and
sympathy for the once essential draft
animal of the mining industry.
Stories picturing the mule going
blind by constantly being kept under
Tar below the surface are discounted
by the more ~truth-loving- miners as
fairy tales and by the mine oper-
ators as stories whose design Is to
lend a touch Of to the early
history of coal mining.
The modern mine finds use for
only n mule, that for the distribu-
been hoisted to the surface. This
mule is lowered to the bottom of the
shaft, but brought back up after
completing its work and is cared for
In a stable above ground. Electrical
power is used exclusively for hauling
coal carts under ground.
In mines where h mule still Is
used extensively the animals are
brought to the surface frequently. In
rare instances, it is said, are the
| mules kept in the pits for n length
| Of time. When work in the mines is
suspended, it is a general custom to
bring the animals to the surface
where they are kept in pastures until
the mines resume operation.
The only animals known to breed
in the shafts and pit are rats and
mice. These little rodents. however.
are often made pets of the miners
for the reason that their presence
indicates absence of gas pockets. As
long as the. mouse or rat slips about
a certain place, the miner is certain
to be free OF the gas danger.

James Taylor. vice president Of the
national railroad machinist's union,
spoke at 4 the. courthouse yard last
Thursday evening to large crowd Of
people. He made a straight from the
shoulder talk about the issues invol-
we'd in the strike of the railroad shop
crafts. It is the best conducted and
most peaceful strike ION record. The
men are exercising self-control in the
face OF much provocation and / are
bound to win outfit they stick as they
are doing. AS the speaker pointed out,
court .inju ctions will not repair cars
nor mine coal The operators were
violating the spirit Of the law in con
tracing out their work in order. to
seYade payment of wages agreed upon,
in some cases eighteen months be-
fore the men struck thus creating the
situation that forced the men to strike
for their rights, but nothing was done
about it by the Labor Board until the
men had actually struck. Every effort
lis being made to create an unfavorable
impression against the strikers by the
officials and their press. 5ti93e
Another mass meeting was held at

was. addressed by G. J.. McGlogon, rep.
(esenting the railroad electricians
