THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PIN- MON EYD

DURING the Sixteenth and
- Seventeenth centuries pins
were so extremely expensive
that only the wealthy could af-
ford them. BY a curious law,
the manufacturers Of pins were
permitted to sell them on Only
two days each year-January /
and 2-and when those days
came around the women whose
husbands could afford the ex-
pendlture secured "pin-moncy"
from them for their purchases.
While savages have, for ages,
used thorns and splinters for
the purpose OF Joining bits of
hide or making garments of
leaves, pins-as we know them
today-dld not come into use
until the early part of the Four
teenth century. They were In
troduced into England in 1910
but 1t was not until 1924 that
an American named Might in
vented a machine for manufac-
turing pins very rapidly. and
now more than 1850 tons of
iron and brass are annually con-
verted into pins in the United
States alone. condition which
renders entirely obsolete the
original meaning Of the phrase
pin money" which, however,
still persists as synonym for
IAN allowance given by a hus-
band to wife to cover her per-
sonal expenses"

XXTE ARE reading great deal
Wv these days about the Darwinian
theory. The newspapers tell US that
Kentucky. famed for its blue grass, Its
blooded horses, beautiful women and
chlvaIrous men, is deep in the study
Of its involved perplexitles.
All the way from school houses
TO the Kentucky senate, the ques-
ton Of mans relationship with monkey
is being discussed with fervor.
The world Is pricking up Its ears
arching its eyebrows and looking
aslance upon the creatures. who. ac-
cording to the Scriptures, were created
in Gods image.
Just how will all this controversy
benefit you and me?

women, elevate our minds to high

for usefulness?
Power gravitates to those who can
use II, not to the wavering nor the
weak. 1t belongs to those who have
faith, who believe as child and ac.
cept biblical statements without ques'
tion.
Who among the sons Of men knows
himself? Who by gazing In his or
her looking-gass can see himself OF

that self, the image OF God exists?

negation and in doing good to others,

1t is not for us to become crazed
about frisky monkeys, nor for us to
try to make monkeys Of ourselves.
But 1t Is for us to work, to think
good thoughts, to put unbelief and
doubt far behind us and make our
selves more worthy Of the Infinite love,
the only anchor which will hold secure
IN this life and In the life to come.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. June 1s.-rhree
factors will win Victory for the
miners and railroad men in q COM
mon strike, 1t was predicted today
by John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, who will meet
tomorrow night with rail union chiefs.
to consider joint strike action in the
threatened rail walkout of approx
mately 100000 men.
Joining of forces of these organi-
cations. Mr.. Lewis said, would first
have marked moral influence on la
Dor generally; second, would disIo-
nation. and third, would affect the in
dustrial fabric.
Coincidentally with the statement
of Mr.. Lewis, ten railroad union
presidents made public last night q
letter to the labor board announc-
ing their intention Of going through
with the strike in the event one is
authorized by the vote of the unions
members. b. NJ. Jewell, head of the
railway employees department, stated
| that the vote being cast SO far has
been overwhelmingly for a walkout.
Mr.. Lewis said that all industry is
largely a matter or transportation
and approximately one-third of the
business of the railroads is hauling
coal. "A strike of 100000 or more
| railroaders," he continued. would
thus cause such q disloca ton of all
industry that the country would soon
be prostrated and the railroad and

Under this law, delegate to

MARION, Ohio, June 19.-Presi-
dent Harding's visit to Marion
during the city's centennial cele-
bration, which begins July 2, will
be a regular "old homo week..
with. Marionites from far and wide
returning to help honor the towns
first citizen.
All the members Of the Presi-
dents cabinet have been invited
to the celebration and there Is a
chance that Marion will realize it's
ambition of being at least the
temporary capital of the nation.
In coming "home," however.
President Harding will not return
to the famous front porch on
Mount Vernon avenue-the porch
which for many months was the
shrine Of republicanism. The
Harding residence is occupied by
Millard Hunt. president of the
Marion chamber of commerce. who
leased it and moved in shortly
after the Inauguration.
Guest OF Gen. Sawyer.
Just before he left Marion for
the Inauguration Mr.. Harding was
entertained at White Oaks farm,
the home of Brig. Gen Charles Il.
Sawyer. in southwest Marion. and
it is probable he will be entertain
ed there during at least part OIL
his stay in the city.
All plans for the entertainment
of the President ale more or less
tentative as yet, for he has not
fixed the exact data of his visit.
With characteristic modesty the
President has let it be known, how
ever. that he is returning to
Marion for the city's centennial
as Warren Harding. of Marion.
rather than as President Harding
of the United States.

rionites who went to Washington

thing to avert strike, asserted there
was no appeal from the Railroad

road employees under the transporta-
ton action are entitled to living

Railroad chiefs were marking time
today while employees of the roads
were marking strike ballots. By
July /, s1sG.o0O.000 in wage cuts
ordered by the United States Railroad
Labor Board become effective, the
strike referendum will be completed
ana the nation will probably know
whether it faces an actual rail strike
and a threatened transportation war.
Developments of the last twenty
four hours included: -
A statement by Ben w. Hooper.
chairman of the Railroad Labor
Board. predicting an adjustment of
the railroad situation without strike
and peace on the roads by next fall.
Statements to the board by leaders
Of the rail unions condemning the
wage reductions and serving notice
that a strike. IL favored in the ref
erendum will be sanctioned by the
union chiefs.
9Word from Washington that Presi-
dent Harding intends to back the
board. which has no power itself un-
der the transportation act, to en-
force it's decisions.
Gradual abandonment by the car
riers of their system of putting work
out at contract, a system which has
been one of the barriers to peace, was
predicted by Mr.. Hooper. Following
the lead of the Southern Pacific. 9TH
err roads are expected to speedily do
away with labor contracts, the board
chairman said.
Referring to charges by leading
railroad periodical that the board was
completely dominated by the wishes
OF labor organizations, and to more
resent accusations by the unions that
the wage reductions were n mis-
! carriage of Justice" Mr.. Hooper as
serted that a discriminating public
will find the truth at a point about
halfway between these two ex-
tremes."
IF the unions and the railroads
respect the decisions OF the board a
fair minded public will stand for
nothing else" he declared.
