Sofia. February 4.-Premier Stam- boulisky denies the reports that Bulgaria awaits the favorable mo- ment to snatch Thrace from Greece.
 First of all," he continued, "let me say that we have nothing to do with Greece on the question of Thrace. Under the treaty we ceded Thrace to the great powers, and they promised to give us an economic out let through Thrace on the Aegean sea.
 Secondly, we are utterly dis armed and helpless and are in no position to take warlike measures against any of our neIghbors. Our 30O,000 rifles and all our artillery and machine guns are at the bottom of the Black sea, and our men are tilling the soil"

Naught she knew of the higher pur- poses of existence, the rhythme, the harmonic, the beauties that so in- spired and attenuated the painfully artistic men and women of Butterfly Center, that is, until she decended among them as the bride of famous Dr. Bill Petticoat. noted specialist on Ptomaine Poisoning. a member Of that well-known family,-the Cotton Petticoats. Both the Cottons and the Petticoats came over in the May flower with the Pearl-Buttons, who are of course in no way related to the newrich Hook and Eye family.

TRADITION

By Marie Van Worst. Small, May
 nard & Co, Publishers, Boston.
 How tradition, in it's many forms. may control life, leading to acts and calm acceptance of conditions which might have seemed impossible but for this controlling influence, is set forth in a beautifully written narrative. The development of young girl reared amid the primitive surroundings into calm, cold wom- an of the world, and yet without losing quite all of her original ideals, is the story
 Tradition" is more than mere story. It is the message of clear sighted, sympathetic woman to other women who may have to face some of the problems which made up the drama of life for Jessica. And with splendid force, as we'll as with the grace of a fascinating and unusually well constructed novel, Is this mes sage conveyed.

The Connecticut labor news., 1922-10-13

One time while 1 was president oi the Danville Miners sub-district Or ganization, a dispute arose at the Kelly mines in which the men were wrong. 1 decided against the men and in accordance with the contract The men decided to strike anyhow and MT. Kelly having a good contract and needing coal badly, gave in to the men, which of course, put me "in bad" with those men.
 Shortly after that, the miners at No. Kelly mine decided to demand that the company deliver the powder to the working place of the miners The mine was in underground from the shaft about mile and a quar- ter There were over 300 men work ing in that mine and it meant cost te/ the company of furnishing an ad- ditiona1 mule and a driver to deliver the powder. The men were wrong. as under the contract they had agreed to continue to work under the old conditions, which meant that the miner would carry his own powder to the face.
 This was an exceedingly ugly con dition, because many men would have to carry six or eight picks, their dinner bucket, possibly paper, soap, squibs, oil and other things, and add ed to this if they had a keg of powder to carry in a mile and quarter 1n a low roadway, they were utterly ex- housted when they got to the face. That is the condition they wanted to get relief from when they made this demand.
 Because of the considerable amount 1t would cost immediately to buy a new mule, harness, etc, and then on to feed and care for that mule and pay a drivers wages, MT. Kelly was strongly opposed to agree ing with them, and he said that he would see the mine closed down be- fore he would ever submit to their demands
 Having in mind the previous expe- rience, I determined to test MT. Kelly out and to teach him a lesson if pos sible. When the mine workers se- lected me to go with the committee to try and get MT. Kelly to agree, l accompanied them, pointed out that the men admitted they were asking for something in excess of the agree ment, but that the condition was so ugly, so dangerous, as well as the fact that it exhausted them SO physi- cally, before they got started their days work, that if it could be done at all, he should agree to take that powder to the face for those men: MT. Kelly got highly offended and abused the local committee, myself and the mine workers organization for not living up to the agreement in good faith. I advised MT. Kelly that if it was in my power he would get the men to comply with the agree ment-that I would go back and re- port to the men and would later ad- wise him what they decided to do.
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-10-13

The committee reported to a mass
 meeting of themen and the men de- C1ded that under the circumstances.
 because the agreement provided for | their taking the powder into the face that they would continue to do so unless the company agreed volun- tarily to carry it in for them In the meantime MT. Kelly went from the mine to the company's store which was close to where the men caught the street car for Danville and West ville, leaving the commissioner, Mir Charles Swan, and Superintendent Joseph Doughdy and Mine Manager Ed Riley, to hear the report Before the committee and I went back to report, asked the commit tee to let me do the talking and for | them to keep silent, but by their looks and actions, agree that I was right.
 When we went into the office I had my hair all ruf1ed up and my hat in my hand crumpled up. I told Mir. Doughdy that I had reported to the men what MT. Kelly had said, that I had done the best I could to get them to work under the agreement and l carry in their own powder, but that the men said they did not care what MT. Kelly did, what the organization or anybody else did, that they were not going to carry that powder in any more-that they were going home and stay home until the com pany either agreed to carry it in, or they got work elsewhere.
 1 told the superintendent and the commissioner that if they wanted those men back in the morning, they would have vs, to let ,,9 me know right right men before they got on the cars and inform them, as if they once get scattered it would be impossible to reach them
 The superintendent immediately got in touch with MT. Kelly over the phone and told him what I said As Kelly had another good contract and needed all the coal he could get every day to supply 1t, or lose good deal of money, after some grumbling he told the superintendent to tell me that they would agree to carry the powder in for the men from then on-at the same time adding that they were holdup men, and that their agreements were unreliable. 1 went on down to the street car to go to my home south of Westvi1le While so doing I met MT. Kelly, told him the facts in the case and said, We are even now, Mike! from now on you better act square,"
 When MT. Kelly learned the facts in the case, he abused me -unmerci-| fully again, but he lived up to his agreement and carried the powder in to the face of the mine for the men until the time that the mine was abahdoned, having sbeen worked out Mir. Kelly always seemed to like me after that
