Company Unions.

A local railroad executive yesterday
expressed his belief that the greatest
single happening in favor OF the carriers
during the year was the formation or
company unions by shopmen on large
number OF carriers at the termination
of the strike which started July last
and lasted until almost the end of Sep
tember. No. only will the individual
Initiative of the workmen be increased
as result OF direct dealing with their
superiors on a basis which recognizes
skill but the efficiency of tho shop or

BEER SERVED
 IN ENGLISH
 WORKHOUSES
By LUTHER A. HUSTON, International News Service Staff
 Correspondent

London, Dec. 19-Christmas with out beer in an English workhouse would be like Fourth of July with out fire crackers or Roman candles.
 From a. time which the memory of British citizenry runneth not the fes- tai Yuletide board at these institu- Ions where the unfortunate poor are housed has been decorated enbeI- Ished and made cheerful by long lines of foam1ng flagons from which the inmates slipped an amber fluid that is as hector to their eagerly receptive threats. Christmas beer at the work house is an institution and few re- were their institutions as do the mer- ry Britishers.
 The idea of celebrating the Yuletide about the table unadorned by flow ing steins is abhorrent to almost any Englishman, and particularly so to those who dwell in almshouses. For Christmas is the only day in England when workhouse inmates are granted the boon of Quaffing the cup that cheers. To take their Christmas beer away f-9El these unfortunatcs-well, it simply isn't done. and when things are not done in England 1t is very difficult to do them Which explains why Mrs. Edith Day oldest member of the guardians, or workhouse trustees, at Bihop Stort- ford, London suburb, has been un- successful in twenty-nine earnest at tempts to deprive the dwellers of the btSlOp SLOIL1OIO w OA hAAONSC OA IAAO-A Christmas beer.
 Never in the twenty-nine success sive years of her endeavor has Mrs. Day succeeded in convincing her fel- low guardians that beer should not be served on Christmas to the work house inmates. Twice she has come very near winning, when it was neces- sary for the chairman to cast de- ciding vote.
 Each year Mrs. Day serves notice that she intends to ring the "beer question: up at a meeting Of the guardians. A special meeting is ar ranged and all the members attend. After Mrs. Day gives notice, and be- fore the meeting is held. a campaign is conducted that is mildly reminiscent of the prohibition "drives' that once were a feature of American politics. 'eWhips'' are appointed by both sides. and the ''wets' and the ''drys'' hop to the political fray with earnest vim and vigor.
 Although she has suffered twenty nine defeats Mrs. Day is not dis matter up again next year and is hopeful that in 1923 she will witness 3 Christmas feast at the almshouse from which the demon rum will have been completely banished.
 Ut is entirely question or prin- ciple which I am fighting,'' Mrs Day declared. 4I think it is wrong to spend the taxpayers money on strong drink. If man or a woman can go without beer every day but one in the year there is no need for them to upset themselves just because it is Christmas-'

MANILA ID GUARD AGAINST
 EPID E MI c s
Cooks and House Ser wants Are Regarded as Most Dangerous Germ Carriers.

Manila. Dec. 19.-The health au- thorities of Manila, in their cam paign to prevent contagious diseases and avoid the spread of epidemics, are proposing a plan whereby all cooks and house servants in Manila must report to the health authori- ties of the city for regular inSpec- tion and certifcation that they are free from disease. It is believed that many epid emics and much of the communicable diseases are aided in their spread by cooks handling food. This Is especially important in the case of cooks and servants in the restaurants.
 Recently a municipal ordinance was effected in Manila to prevent small stores and shops from giving drinking water to their patrons, since such water, usually taken from in fected wells, was a constant source of infection in the spread of typhoid fever. Manila in the past has suffer ed from serious cholera eptdemics, but the city has been free from cases for soma time.

ELECTRIC BRAIN WAVES HELP
 DULLARDS
Sluggish Sconce Suscep- tible to "Jazzing Up" by Current, Is Claim.
By LUTHER A. HUSTON, International News Service Staff
 OFFeSpOndent,


 London, Dec. 19-The "dunce cap" of the future may become a symbol of intellectual advancement rather than the crown of educational oppro- brfum
 By the simple process of electrifica- tion the headgear that once was an indication of stupidity or mental iE- dolence may be transformed into an intellectual accelerator.
 It is the belief of Dr. Bernard Hol- lander, eminent specialist, that the brains of backward students may be effectively ''jaZzed up' by the proper application of electric currents. Brain waves" turned loose in a sohoolroom. Dr. Hollander believes, will so stinu- late the mental process of the dullards that they will soon be moving toward the head of the class instead of lag gfng along at the foot.
 In a recent address before the con- gress of the British Chronological Society, Dr. Hollander described ex- periments which he declared had dem onstrated the efficiency of electric currents in stimulating mental en- deavor. He expressed the belief that galVan1sm applied to certain regions Of the head has the effect of i'm proving mental power. Experiments he had conducted, Dr. Hollander said, resulted in backward or indoIent stu dents succeeding in examinations in which they previously had failed
 Discussing the sub ject of phreno- logy, pr. Hollander asserted that lead ing anatomists have acknowledged that the skull is moulded upon the brain and grows with it." The size and shape of the head he contended conform for all practical purposes to tines fze and shape of the brain. Size Of the head, however, is not neces- sarliy a measure of the intellect, ac- cord1ng to Dr. Hollander. "Even a capacIous forehead,'' he said "does not signify superior intellectual at talnments, for it may be merely an empty warehouse which had never been stocked with knowIedge"

 Chicago, Dec. f9-Polish children devote part of their time in school each week to writing letters to ''the kind Americans' who have done so much for them.
 That was the report of Mrs. Eve line Be1den Paulson, supervisor of the children's aid division of the Red Cross Commission to Poland. when she arrived here recently from Po- land.
 "When we first arrived in Poland we found multitudes of men, women and children barefoot, because there were no shoes" she reported. To-day there are few who do not possess at least some kind of foot covering.
 There were only three trained nurses in all Poland when the Red Cross Commission arrived. Now trained nurses-Polish girls-are numbered by the hundreds
 The nurses were trained by Amert can nurses.
