THE OLDEST T

The Swastka is the oldest symbol in the world. Also, it
is the oldest mystery.
You find it engraved on primitive tools, dug up in the
mounds of the Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi mound-build-
es, who inhabited America before the Indians.
The Swastika also is found in the most ancient ruins of
Alaska, Mexico, Brazil, Egypt, Babylonia, China, Japan, In
da, Assyria, Phoenicia, Persia, Tibet, Greece-and nearly
every other country in the world, including obscure islands.
Buddha, according to myth, carved the Swastika ON the
soes of his sandals, and oriental statues of him often have
their feet decorated to correspond.
The Swastika is the international symbol for good luck
and general welare-like our horseshoe, the negros rabbit
foot and the 'tchunglm ng-fuigoi'' sign is painted on the
door of nearly every Chinese home.
The Swastikas origin is unknown. But psychologists,
the ditch diggers Of science, have traced it back to the begin
ming of the Bronze Age, $500 years ago.
For all we know, the Swastka may have been old then.
How did it spread over the earth and become known in
countries that are supposed to have had no knowledge Of each
other in ancient timesa
Christopher Columbus unquestionably knew the Swastika,
it was used by the moundbuilders in America centuries before
Columbus was born. How did they get iti
The only plausible explanation Of the universal use Of the
Swastika comes from China.
The Chinese-who claim that their explorer, FuSang,
visited America 1850 years before Columbus-believe that
civilization travels in an endless wave-up 10000 years, then
down 80 600, so on forever. That's why Chinese mythology
tells of flying men, far back in antiquity.
The earth may be 1,700y000,00O years old, says Prof. Will
liam Duane, Of Harvard Medical School He bases his cal
culation on radio-activity.
Regardless of the number of years, queer things are buried
back there in the past, as shown by the Swastika. Oldest mys-
terry.

A. The Department OF Agricul-
ture says that q magnifying glass
that magnifes IL or Is diameters
would be sufficient.
@. What use did the Indians
make of gourds?-C. l.. D.
A. The shells of gourds were en-
ployed by the Indians as water jugs
dippers, spoons and dishes. They
we're also used for mixing bowls,
pottery, smoothers. r~attles, roof
drains, masks and parts of orna-
ments. The flowers were used as
food. coloring material, and in GER
emonies.
@. What were the names of some
of the early women's clubs in the
United States?-L. T.
A. The Sorosis Club of New York
city was the first permanent wo-
mems club dating from 1868. The
New England Women's Club came
into existence later the same year
with Sorosis. Some of the other
early clubs were the Women's Club
of Brooklyn. Fortnightly Of Chicago,
Chicago Women's Club and the
Civic Club of Philadelphia.

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE 70 THE SHORE

Better railroad accommodations between Perth Amboy
and the coast resorts are welcomed. Several new trains have
been added to the ummer schedule this year and the people
of this city are benefited.
For years the accommodation that Perth Amboy has
been given in getting TO and from Asbury Park in the sum-
mer has been most meagre. Train after train has gone thun-
dering by while the people of this city have waited at the
station for some local to come along in which they might
ride as far as Matawan there to change cars for another train
following which had passed through Perth Amboy without
stopping.
True. there are still numerous express trains, but
there is some satisfaction in knowing that conditions have
>been made better for Perth Amboy. Living within thirty
miles Of the great Jersey coast resorts the people of this city
&Nnot have as good accommodations for enjoying these
|nlaces as the people living much further away have.

PUBLIC OPINION
COMPLAINS OF MILK STATION
EDITOR EVENIN GNEwS.

COMflLAlNS Of MILK
EDITOR EVENIN GNEWS:
Sometime ago a letter was pub
n IN your paper regarding a
great nuisance On High street, and
1t did some good for a time but a
short time only. Am speaking of
Reder Bros. milk station. 1t seems
a crime almost that such a place is
tolerated within city limits and here
1t is right at the very door of the
best hotel we have. 1t begins around
! A. M. with wagons rafting along
for bicycles, throwing of empty milk
cans on trucks. loud talking, engine
pounding away, is it any wonder one
gets little rest.
Sunday morning when one feels
he can have a little extra sleep, it
seems worse than any other day;
they have had their Sunday, OF
know-so 1t does not matter if others
want rest. If one makes a complaint
to the police they only walk away
with a smile, it's a good resting place
at 2 A. NJ. for them, you know. What
are they paid for If not to quiet such
disturbances? I have often heard 1t
said outside that you a get away
with anything in Amboy and am he
ginning to believe it. This place
would not be tolerated for one day
in any other place: it should be on
the outskirts of the city and COM
PEELED to go there. Where's the
mayor. where's the Board Of Health.
where's the chief of police? Politics,
all politics!
Respectfully yours.

@. When did employers in this
country first make a contract with
organized labor?-J. H. d.
A. Probably the first agreement
of this kind was made in 1886 be-
tween newspaper publishers and the
typographical unions in Chicago and
Washington. Both of these cities
claim the honor Of being first.
Q. Please explain the method
used by Brazil in handling coffee
b. G. p.
A. The Department of Agricul-
ture says that in the Brazilian Cof-
fee Valorization Scheme the coffee
is purchased outright by the Bra
lillian government, or at least by the
state governments in che coffee
producing region. Brazil not only
directs the expectation of coffee, but
exercises control over the number
Of coffee trees planted. Since Bra
zil is the largest coffee producing
country. it has been able to exercise
an almost complete control over the
worlds supply. To finance the val
orization scheme, the Brazilian
states have contracted large loans in
foreign countries and in several in

of paper money against the stocks of
coffee.
@. Please give the age Of the fol-
lowing fish when they weigh one
pound-catfsh, carp and bass?-W.
N. NJ.
A. The Bureau Of Fisheries says
that the bass is approximately two
years old when it weighs one pound,
the catfish eight months to one year
and carp eight months to n year.
@. How long has England had
old age pensions?-K. D. M.
A. Old age pensions have been
awarded in England since 1912. The
act was amended and greatly ex-
tended in 1914.

Socorro, N. M, July 1.-THE
Fourth of July celebration at So.
zorro was a huge success. over
1000 people gathered at the park
and heard Congressman Montoya
give an address on the drainage of
the central Rio Grande valley.
Two thousand five hundred plates
of barbecued meat and sandwiches
We're served by the barbecue COM
mittee at the opera house.
The parade was the feature of
the celebration. 1t was the largest
and best ever held In Socorrc
county. The floats and decorated
cars showed much effort and ex-
pense. G.. E. Cooks mechanical
float took first prize. w. d. Crab
trees float representing the Goddess
of Liberty, was excellent. The
Popular store had a beautiful float
representing the Sonora phone
graph. The float of the Rio Grande
Supply company advertised Win
chester products and represented D
typical camp scene made from
real pine trees. The Plaza cafe
served real meals to pretty girls.
Melton Torres float, showing negro
boys eating watermelons,' got a good
laugh, as well as Cooks garage
float Time to Retire" Navarre's
beautifully decorated George Wash
ington float; the Socorro Steam
laundry, and the Boy Scouts floats
all showed much effort. M. e.
Pickens' decorated car received
first money for decorated cars
Others that received special men
ton and many compliments were
the Socorro Flappers, Keith garage
Crown mill, Chambon estate, and
New State store. AL Woods on a
beautiful and fiery horse, acted as
marshal of the parade.
Backward Ford Race.
The children's sports were
amusing and successful and thor
oughly enjoyed. The Ford race
backwards around the park was
won by I. H. Cargyle.
The baseball games were poppy
and interesting. Tokay captured
first money, Socorro second, and
San MarCial third. Much interest
in the long hits and sensational
plays was manifested by the largest
crowd of fans ever gathered to-
gether in Socorro county.
The tennis singles tournament
was won by Irwin Moore.
Two dances the night of the
third. one the afternoon of the
fourth and three the night of the
fourth were we'll attended. Some
of the halls were so crowded, it was
almost impossible to dance. The
crowds were all good natured and
the whole celebration went off with
out the usual Fourth Of July dis
turbances. The revenue derived
from the dances was sufficient tn
give the Socorro hose company,
which arranged the celebration,
surplus of funds after all expenses
were paid.

A writer in the Christian Science
Monitor says: Several years ago,
when I was working for a moving
picture company, an organization of
writer's asked me to talk to them
about writing for the screen. The only
thing I said was that the best way
to write for the screen was to forget
the screen and write as we'll as they
knew how. Anything less than that.
1 pointed out, would be unfair to both
the writer and the screen. Unless the
screen could make use of the writer's
finest work he would be doing himself
a grave injustice to take it into con-
sideration. Moreover, the screen,
though it had not then discovered the
fact, was in dire need Of real litera-
ture, literature embodying American
ideas and ideals, and writing done to
measure would prevent the screen
from developing to a point where it
would be the authors servant and not
his MASTER

Nothing would please me more than
to see renaissance of American wit
and humor, writes James L. Ford in
the New York Tribune, but 1 do not
know how this is to be brought about.
Committees Of the sort assembled for
every imaginable purpose, and which
command degree of popular respect
that seems amazing to the sophisti-
Gated, are powerless in the matter.
Not even in those great universities
that offer elective courses in nearly
everything from playwriting to plumb.
ing is there chair of wit and humor;
and, while every variety of humbug
and rascality rears it's head without
fear Of consequences, the sword of
ridicule, the only weapon of real
strength in the fight against evil, is
permitted to rust in it's scabbard.
