ual laborer. He was a school teach CT in his early days and later became private secretary. His career in public life during the last few years has been one of statesmanship.
 Arthur Henderson was once a working engineer, but he was also an intellectual laborer, for on Sun days he was local preacher.
 J. R. Clynes has been manual laborery but far in the distant past; for many years he has been fig ure in public life and an organizer of labor.
 H, G. Wells, author and historian, is a driving power in the Labor Party movement
 Margaret Bondfield, leader of the women of the Labor Party movement, is an economist and organizer.
 Hamilton Fyfe and George Lans- busy, two of the best-known editors of London, are high in the Labor Party councils.
 It is persons of this type who are making the present Labor Party of Great Britain. The toilers are in the minority, at least those who toll with their hands, and ministers, clerks, economists, politicians, edit ors, students and all sorts and man ner of men and women are joining the movement for real progressive political party. Nobility even Is flock ing to the Labor standards. Lord Haldane is an ardent laborite, and Arthud Ponsonby, who was page of honor to King Edward, is also among the leaders.
 The tide against reaction is stead- fly mounting and is finding expres- sion through the Labor Party.

'sCREAT DIVIDE" TO
 REMAIN IN NEVADA

RENO, Nevada, Dec. 26.-Now that official returns have definitely de- cided the failure of Bishop George c. Hunting's initiative measures to ex- tend the time necessary for a Reno liberty bond" members of the lccal divorce colony are busily engaged in writing letters broadcast to the four corners of the earth telling the joyous news.
 vorces," in this state is the rebuilding regular news channels to carry the glad tidings, and many stamps have been licked and telegrams sent to carry the word that Nevada is still the game preserve" of those who
 seek refuge of Outrageous" matri- mony.
 Local business men, who formed an association which vigorously opposed any change in the existing divorce law, report a revival of interest in their offerings from dainty boots to Paris hats and from diamond solitares to, jeweled vanity cases.
 One of the developments immedi- ately expected as a result of the de- feat of the measure which would have sounded the deathknell of "Quick di- vorces, in this state is the rebuilding of the famous Riverside Hotel, former headquarters for divorce residents" which burned down eight months ago.

Queen of Sheba," the William Fox super-special which created tre- mendous sensation during it's run at a prominent Broadway, New York theater, will be shown at the Elm press Theater tonight and tomor- row. Metropolitan critics de scribed the picture as marvel of beauty, color and dramatic force, and as a spectacle unsurpassed in magnl- cence. All wrote with wondering approval of the pageantry attending the arrival of the Queen of Sheba at King Solomon's court, and de- clared the chariot race cheered by 5000 spectators to be one of the most thrilling scenes ever shown on the screen.
 Like the moving of an army, like the moving of great caravan over the desert, was the preparation for the making of these scenes. The sand dunes on which they were filmed are at Oxnard, 85 miles from the William Fox West Coast studios To this point there had to be trans ported 600 persons, 300 horses, IA camels, 31 chariots, some 15O tents including Arabian tents, wardrobe and dressing room tents and sleeping tents for about 300 persons. Beside these were two "chuck" wagons, ac companied by h chef and a staff of assistants; forty wardrobe boxes be sides special wardrobe for principals four water wagons, and eighteen motor trucks for the transportation of these things from the train ove1 the five miles to location. Like a little city was the complete equip ment when spread and set in action for the making of the picture.
 For the accommodation of this moving Vmy there were chartered two trains to carry the, people anc the equipment between Los Angeles and Oxnard-one train of twelve cars for the freight and animals, and second train of six cars to carry the actors. Beside this MT. Edwards and his staff, principals and the cammeramen went by automobile over the mountain roads.
 "Queen of Sheba" was year IT
 
 the making, after Virginia Tracy hao written the story following a long search of volumes and documents for information regarding the worlds most beautiful woman. The pro duction was directed by J. Gordor Edwards

PLYMOUTH MAY BE
 MAIN BRITISH PORT

LONDON, Dec 26.-Plymouth has made up it's mind to be one of the worlds great ports. It's ambition has been fired by the enormous docks about to be constructed at Southhamp- ton.
 Eminent engineers have reported that the greatest Atlantic liners can enter the port at any hour of the "A, because there is perpetual adequacy of water depth, without having to wait for tide conditions, as is the case at Liverpool and Southampton.
 Nautical and navigation experts have examined the scheme in regard to the steamship side. Their verdict is that Plymouth is as near perfec- ton as a port could be from the navl- gators viewpoint. There is an un- varying depth of water found at no other port.
 Nautical authorities say that the adoption of Plymouth as port would mean reduction of twenty-four hours in the round journey between England and the United States. This repre- sents not only greater expedition for travellers but an immense saving to a company with large fleet of trans- atlantic steamers.
 The present plan under consider ation is to cut out Cherbourg as port of call and to run the shlps straight into Plymouth, where the continental passengers could be trans shipped into specially equipped Chan mel steamers.
 The cost of the construction would be several million pounds.

LONDON, Dec. 2e-"Watch La bor!"
 This is the word that is being passed by British political observers, for the impression is prevalent that staid old Britain Is on the verge of government by Labor Party.
 Of course Labor government is not an immediate probability, for things move slowly in England, but it certainly is agreed that the present trend of politics is in favor of the Party. There are many who are will ing to wager that there will be a Labor government within the next three years.
 The election of Conservative gov ernment, under the leadership of Bonar Law. is probably the best thing that has ever happened for the Labor Party. There are already very patent signs that the Bonar Law party is going to be reactionary, but, like America, England is done with things reactionary. It will take time, but the resentment against reaction. ary things will pile up and pile up, and the next election will probably see victory for the Labor Party-at least that is the opinion of such per sons as Lady Astor, Sir Hall Caine H. G. Wells and scores of other pro- gressive thinkers.
 The Labor Party cannot be re garded any longer as Strictly labor party--it is travelling under mis- homer. The so-ca1led Labor Party is really England's Progressive Party; in its ranks are the most progressive thinkers in England, and horny-hand- ed sons of toll are in the minority

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROO7

Thousands of women have kidney and

result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.

TWO RARE ORCHID SPECIMENS
Central America Can Boast Of Two
of the Most Perfect of Beau
tifuI Flowers.

A quaint little orange orchid, odor-
less, very common in Central America,
is the Spidendrum Radicans, locally
called the Dutch Shoe" because of Its
fancied resemblance to tiny sabot.
The Monkey" orchid, more curious
than beautiful, has greenish, small
flowers growing in thick clusters, sus-
pended from whorls of glossy leaves.
Great quantities of it grow on the
dead stumps Of the overlooked land
forming lagoons in Gatun lake. A
popularity of the Monkey orchid is
that when domesticated it's flowers do
not develop fragrance until they are
three days old. Another odd species
mimics a white violet, not only in
size and shape, but in the exquisite
violetlike fragrance which the bios
som gives out in the late afternoon
only. 1t has no fragrance at any 9th
er time and the tiny flowers last sew
eral days.

TAUGHT VIRTUE AND WISDOM
Confucius One of the Really Great
Philosophers the Human Race
Has Developed.

Confucius is the Latin form of the
name of Kung Futze (Kung, the mas
ter or philosopher), great Chinese
philosopher, who founded a form Of
religion which is based on the worship
and practice of morality as shown in
the lives and teachings Of wise men
who have gone before. He was born
551 B. c., in the state of Lu, part Of
the province of Shantung.
Confucius' chief aim being the ref
ormation of the state, he wandered
from court to court, seeking to teach
princes his maxims Of virtue and wis
dom; while around him gathered a
band of devoted followers. He died
47S B. G. The books he composed,
the books he edited, the books sup
posed to have been written by his
grandson, and the books compiled by
his followers, with the works of Men
cius (born 81 B. c., form the Chi
nese classics, on which are based edu-
cation and competitive examinations,
and by which promotion in public life
has been regulated for Is centuries.
