President to Make Issue .
On Domination by Labor

greatest fundamental fact of all
which has impressed Mr.. Harding az
he has seen the crisis grow more
acute from day to day. 1t ts the
to subject the country to hardships
and the corresponding power of tho
railroad managements to conduct
themselves in a way that goads the
workers to take desperate measures.
Union Domination Question.
Shall national union domination be
permitted i'm such absolute essentials
as transportation and fuel? Mr.. Harding
thinks not. While the right to organize
and the right to quit work are conceded.
the right to abuse those privileges IL
not conceded. Hence the President be-
lieves regulation is necessary in the
public interest. Such regulation can
come only through national boards
representing the public interest. The
President still thinks the Railroad Labor
Board can be made the agency OF pro-
lection to all concerned. Tho person
mel Of the board today may not be what
Il should be, but that does not mean
that the idea is wrong or the plan
unsatisfactory.
In the coal industry a national board
or commission analogous to the United
States Railroad Labor Board would be
recommended. 1He pOWeIo VI Sou6ToSo

provided by the federal Constitution

cisions Of the Supreme Court Of the

interstate commerce can no longer
monopolize production and gouge the
public. So, too. Mr.. Harding believes
labor unions or railroad managements
can be made amenable to the public in
terest through regulation.

roads, and the Labor Board has been
invested by Congress with power to

MYatariss of Nature.

One of the most mysterious powers
that close observation has revealed Is
the capacity of certain fishes and wa
ter animals to live out of the
water. Some small crustaceans have
been known to lie for 40 years in dried
mud without losing the power OF ac-
lively living when the mud was mois-
tened again. A naturalist visiting
Jerusalem took a little mud from the
pool Of Gihon, at the Jaffa gate, and
put 1t In q pill box. 1t lay dry for Az
years, but when some of the dry dust
was put into saucer full of water
II gave rise after short time to
some lively water fleas. The eel, as
is we'll known, can travel through
damp grass. There is tropical fish,
known as the climbing perch, which
has the very curious habit of scram-
bling, by means of its pectoral fms,
up stones, roots, and even the trunks
Of trees, In search of insects on which
1t feeds. Still more surprising is the
habit of South African fish, called
Clarias, which is sud TO make noe
turnal raids ON the fields in order to
eat the grains of millet.-Cincinnati

SHELLS USED AS CURRENCY
Probably the Earliest Form of Money
OF Which There 10 Any Real
knowledge.

The earliest tribes did not need
money because no individual in the
tribe owned anything personally. All
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person.
Later ON when the tribes met there
arose the custom of barter or trade,
the simplest form of which was the
exchange of articles possessed by one
tribe for those owned by another. For
instance, some of the Australian tribes
had rough green stone which was
valuable for making hatchets. Mem
bers of another tribe, seeing these
green stone hatchets naturally wanted
them. They had no money, as we
know it today, but they had red ochre
with which they painted their bodies
Thus 1t developed that the tribe own
ing the green stones wanted some red
ochre, and each article became kind
of money-each became valuable for
trading purposes.
1t was necessary, however, tC
await the developments of unit of
value" before money became elastic
1t required something valuable in the
eyes of these tribes. One of the
earliest forms of this elastic money
was shells. The skins of animals We're
long used by savage tribes as money
but these could not be carried about
like shells. The skins, however, were
valuable in trading and fortunes We're
reckoned by the number of skins
owned. AS soon as animals became
dOmesticated the Hive animal itself re-
placed the skin as money.

Japs Profit From
American Tourists

tgy international News service)
Toxic, May S.--While Europe is
putting herself in order after the
war upheayal the Far East mas
been profiting more than ever off or
American tourists. The crop TO
'rbe picked this spring and early
Summer is to be larger than ever,
according to the statements or
steamships lines, which had all first
class cabins filled for months In
companies who announce numerous
parties booked for Oriental tours.
But this year the greater part OF
the tourists will visit China and the
Philippines, but will stop only few
days and some times only the days
that their boats are in port in ia
pan. The Japan Hotel Association
expects another poor season, but
they say that anti-Japanese propa-
ganda in the United Stees is respon-
|sible for this largely.
This has had some effect, but the
main reason that tourists are
avoiding Japan in increasing
numbers is because people in this
country have in recent years swined
visitors to the limit. japan is the
highest place In the world for a
foreigner to live comfortably and
lit is even truer for tourists. To
lstart with prices are out OF reason
"a report made the other day by an
committee of the Osaka
Chamber of Commerce showed that
retailers were making from so to
|l50 per cent on living necessities.
On top of that there seems to be a
sort of commandment to stick the
tourist and stick him good.
