Older the Star, Faster II Goes, Say
Astronomers.

One of the most interesting OF recent
discoveries in connection with astron-
omy, is that the older star grows, the
faster does 1t move.
A star, like an express train, takes
time to get up speed.
In the case OF the train, however, It
is matter Of few minutes only;
with star it is millions Of years. The
speed Of the fastest star is about 300

THE Ex-KAIsER's MARRIAGE.

Even while in exile and shorn OF all
the powers and prerogatiyes, which
once were his, William Of Hohenzoilern
could not abstain from displaying the
semblance of his former position on
the occasion of his second marriage
at Doom by having elements Of cheap
splendor displayed and by having the
chairs Of the bridal couple surrounded
by Crowns OF course, it is the near
est to crown the ex-kaiser will ever
get again in this life and it pleases
him, as a child is pleased, to have
some of these trapping Of royalty set
up on the day when he led Hermine Of
Reuss to the altar for his second wife.
A really great man great in mind and
in spirit--would have seen the Stiffness
Of such cheap display of the decora-
tive art and would have been content
to let the formalties of the service
be attended by simplicity hitting the

Brattleboro has the surprisingly
large number of more than five thou
sand voters on its checklist. That
means, of course, that there are more
than five thousand adults in the town
and, in addition to that number, many
more adults who are not included in
the checklist, for there are always
many in any sizeable town who are
not eligible through non-citizenship or
who through Discrimination failed to
get their names listed. Perhaps it
is safe to say that Brattleboro has
$500 adults. If the usual proportion
between adults and minors was to be
maintained, Brattleboro would have a
population somewhat larger than i5,-

happened was this, the road made a

the road to pay all back wages. This

wants authority to make the reduc-

''By letting contracts for repair and

three days a week, thus violating an

GENTLE TAP Of FAN FATAL
Man Dreaming of the Days of the
Gulllotine Died When His Wife
Touched His Neck.

Arthur Mclaughlin of Detroit is re-
spOnsible for this story ent me by
my friend, Leo D. Brown, of the Cos
mOpolitan Book corporation:
"a Reno gent had, on Saturday
night become very much absorbed in
The Tale of Two Cities Particularly
was he impressed with the description
Of the guillotine and the misfOrtunates
upon whose necks it descended so dew
astatingly. The vision preyed upon
his Imagination.
Next day his wife insisted that he
accompany her to church. He drOwsed
during an inordinately long prayer and
dreamed that the guillotine was about
to descend on his bent neck. Wife,
upon resuming her seat when the
prayer was over noticed that her hus-
band was asleep and still leaning for
ward, his head resting on his hands on
the pew ahead. And So with her fan,
she tapped him lightly upon the back
of the neck. Whereupon the gent fell
dead"

Workers to Fight WAGE Cut.

The building trades workers of New
York are not going to accept a wage
reduction. This announcement, made
by Patrick ]. Crowley, president Of the
Building Trades council, representing
the $4,000 building trades workers of
New York city, stands as an answer
to any proposal from the employing
contractors for a wage cut.
Plans to meet a wage reduction pro-
posal have been made by the execu-
tive committee of the Council, it was
stated. 1t is rumored that the en-
ployers will formulate demands call
ing upon the unions to accept wage
cuts.
Besides asserting that present wages
must continue, the labor leader de-
clared that he stood for efficiency on
the part of the worker" and that every
union man was obligated to give a
fair days work for fair days pay"
Referring to the survey that has
been made by the Employers associa-
ton, President Crowley said that the
union had also made wide survey Of
conditions, adding: 1--WE have statis-
tics and government reports on the
cost of living that will show conclu-
sively that there is no justification for
wage cuts in New York at this time. "

eOmpers crlticizes Courts Action.


Abuse by the American courts of
their own power will ultimately de-
stroy public confidence in their integ-
rIty, Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation, declared in a
statement.
Referring to a recent court action
prohibiting publication of a railroad
labor board decision he declared that
"injunctions in labor disputes are be-
coming intolerable. The Pennsylvania
railroad" Mr.. Gompers continued, lob
tanned from the courts a piece of pa
per, which not only stops an award
by the railroad labor board, but pre-
vents it's publication. No more out
rageOus proceeding has been recorded
than this. A government institution
is prevented from publishing a de-
cisiOn which a railroad does not like.
'The fact that a court can stop the
publication of a decision by any gov
eminent agency is repugnant to every
ideal of democracy. The effect of the
injunction is to prohibit the people
from reading the decision of a gov
eminent agency and the principle is
the same as it would be if the courts
were to forbid the people reading
the Presidents message"
