NEW HONOR FOR ST. PATRICK
Irish Hero Has Now Been Officially Made the "Patron Saint of
 the Engineers"

St. Patrick has been adopted as the official "patron saint of the engi- neers" in leading universities of the Middle West, and engineer students now wear the insignia of the Knights of the Guard of St. Pat rick-a green shamrock crossed di- agOnally by gold slide rule.
 The adoption of St. Patrick, ac- cording to an announcement made by the American Society of Mechan- ical Engineers, originated at the University of Missouri, where March IF is regularly holiday for the students of the engineering schcool and homecoming day for it's alumni. The days program in- cludes torchlight parade and a grand ball in honor of the saint, and this year Governor Hyde gave his sanction to the tradition by att tending the celebration.
 The custom, which is rapidly spreading to other schools, originat- ed in 1903, when, during the exca- vatiOns for the new engineering an- mex, the workmen uncovered an an- sclIent marble slab bearing a faded inscription. A committee of engi- neering students appointed to inves- tigate it reported that the inscrip- ton was undoubtedly 'Erin Go Bragh," which, freely translated, they said, meant, "St. Patrick was an engineerp'

SHE KNEW GEORGE

When the Terre Haute chamber of commerce began it's drive for members recently the members held a meeting the first night and buried a casket in which was George, the fellow who the old members had killed from overwork, believing in the doctrine of '1etting George do it."
 Two weeks later George Matt kemper's team was announced as the winning team in the drive. An old lady of the town, who happened to read of Georges success, said to her daughter: q knew when they buried that fellow the other night it was needless expense on the city. I always did say that George Matt kemper had nine lives" "-Indianap- olis News.

SEEING THROUGH METAL

A Yorkshireman claims to have discovered a metal possessing the transparent properties of glass, by which airplanes could be made in- visible, says Tit-Bits.
 The inventor, Ernest Welsh, is a man of ideas, for during the war he experimented with an apparatus for bringing down Zeppelins. Subma- rine signals and silent guns have re- ceived his attention, and he has placed on the market a device for the improved lighting of ships and a system for gassing rats.
 London scientists are inclined to be skeptical about MT. Welsh's re- ported invention. An authority of glass and steel has stated that it is not possible to make any metal transparent.-Toronto Telegram.

AND A GOOD JUDGE, TOO

On one of those joyous occasions when Lillian Russell was appearing here in light opera, arrayed in all the glory of one of her decollete gowns, Judge Charles Levi Wood bury invited his Parker house din- ing convives to accompany him to the entertainment. They gladly ae- cepted the jovial judges polite in- vitation and they occupied seats in the front row. During an intermis- sion one of the judges companions asked him how he liked the show. 'Patriot and lover of my country as I am," said the judge, q think I'd rather see Lillian Russell, arrayed as she is this evening, than to be- hold George Washington in full uniform."- ."-Boston Herald.

WAR HAS HIT LONDON CLUBS
form Among Establishments
 Once Most Prosperous.

Many of the older London clubs, at one time so particular to keep their membership within definite limits, are now complaining of lack of support. Evidently conditions following the Napoleonic war, which saw the beginning of a number of new clubs, have not been reproduced in the present postwar period. As the officers of 1915 retired into lei- surely existence on half-pay, they needed some resort where they might find congenial companion ship, moderate-priced meals, cozy armchairs and the daily papers with full parliamentary reports. It was not the rollicking club life that be- gan in the days when Beaumont, Fletcher, Ben Jonson and Shake speare exchanged wit and wisdom around the table at the Mermaid; though it became an important fac tor in the social life of Great Brit ain. But men freed from the recent war feel less inclined for the arm- chair and parliamentary reports. If they seek club life at all, it is, no doubt, in some more cheerful place than the gloomy, somnolent atmos- phere that. still pervades many of these venerable institutions.

AIR-MAIL POSTAGE STAMPS
First Among Those Which Make the Most Profound Appeal to the
 Ardent Collector.

Among the varied phases of stamp collecting none exercises a more powerful appeal to the imagination and foresight of the collector than those stamps which come as her. aids of the aerial mail
 The historic air flights across the Atlantic inaugurated new era in long-distance mail delivery, special stamps having been provided for the Hawker and Grieve and the Alcock- Brown flights. Today letter car ried by the daring Hawker, bearing the appropriate stamps overprinted 'First Transatlantic Air Post, April, 1919," is a rare and valuable pos session.
 The mail carried by Captain AL cock on his successful ocean flight, June 14-15, was also a very limited one, and bore a distinctive oyer- printed stamp. Letters posted in Newfoundland the day prior to the flight (June 13l reached their des- tination in England on the night of June F, within three days of leav- ing Newfoundland.
 Other countries which have issued air mail postage stamps include Colombia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Esthonia, Latvia, Me- mel, Netherlands, Serbia, Czecho- Slovakia, Uruguay and the United States.

HERON A SKILLED FISHERMAN
Bird Thoroughly Equipped by Nature for Obtaining Food at Expense
 of the Finny Tribe.

The heron is an exceedingly grave and serious bird given to standing in a contemplative attitude by the water side, model of calm re- spectability. It's appearance when flying with it's long legs streaming behind is responsible for the stories of witches flying through the air on broomsticks. It is thought by. many that the heron has an oil which it uses to attract fish, espe- cially eels. There is also a theory that herons emit a phosphorescent light from the bare spot on their breasts, perhaps from the oily, clammy substance clinging to the knobs of down, which attracts fish at night. The blue powder found in the feathers of the blue heron may have some connection with this curious lure. So successful are these solemn-looking poachers that this spring some of the fishing clubs are seeking permission to kill them at any season for the protection of their young trout which are reared in the fish hatcheries at consider able expense. = Montreal Family Herald

SAY STRIKERS
CLA|MUNTRUE
Base Rate of Pay at Gable
Works 33c Hour, officials
Statement Says
DID NOT REDUCE WAGES
Get $2.97 a Day for 9 Hours
Work Against $2.40 at
Other Plants

The Standard Underground Cable
Company today issued another state
ment, following up that made by a
committee of the striking employees
and published in the Evening News
on Thursday, in which it refers to
the strikers announcement as mis-
leading and incorrect in several par
ticdlars." The statement in full
follows:
THE statement made by the COM
mittee representing the employees of
the Standard Underground Cable
Company which appeared in the is
sue of the News of June /, is so mis-
leading and incorrect in several par
ticulars, that the company desires
TO restate the facts in the case.
'The starting rate has been 80
cents an hour and the base rate 33
cents an hour and there neither has
been nor are men working at the
factory who have received less than
the above mentioned amounts ex-
cept in a few cases where jobs were
taken by young men with the UNDER
standing that they were boys jobs
and carried boys rates. On the COM
pany's pay roll for the week ending
less than 33 cents per hour was
small, but these were all new men
who would automatically be raised
to 33 cents after the fourth pay.
During July. 1921, and later,
when the other industries in town
whose rate for years has been sub
stantially 8 cents per hour or more,
higher than our rates, reduced their
rates to 80 cents per hour or less,
this. company maintained rate OF
33 cents per hour as a base rate.
or $2.97 a day for our nine hour
day as against $2.40 paid by the
plants with a 80 cent rate as work.
ing hours per day. During this
time, our starting rate of 80 cents
per hour was as high as the prevail
ing for base rate of the other plants.
Even today the factories which are
paid 35 cents per hour and have an
eight-hour day, pay $3.50 per day
which is less than the rate which
we had uniformly maintained for
about a year back. In view of these
facts, the statement recently pub
lished is clearly incorrect and mis-
leading.
"The fact of the matter is that this
company has been paying higher
rates as base than any other large
plant in the district. 1t did not cut
it's rates last spring when others did.
but has voluntarily given a large
number of employees considerably
higher rates of pay than other plants
have done. The recent advance in
these other plants merely re-estab-
lish the relationship of rates which
were previously in effect for years.

DYE FIGHT STARTS

WASHINGTON, June 3-The long
deferred contest over the dye-stuffs
provisions of the tariff bill has
started in the senate, with Senators
King. Democrat. Utah. and Ferling-
huysen, Republican, New Jersey. as
the central figures. This promised
to be the longest and bitterest con-
troversy that has taken place during
the more than a month and one-hah
of Senate consideration of the tariff
measure.
One early development was an
nouncement by Senator Smoot, Re-
publican, Utah, that the. Finance
committe would not insist upon the
provision OF the bill under which
opponents contended. the Chemical
Foundation and other American
holders of former German coal-tar
dye patents, trade marks and copy
rights would have been protected
completely through the shutting out
of dye imports bearing any trade
mark, label, brand or impress regis
tered in the United States Patent
Office by any person donriciled in
the United States" unless such per-
sons gave written consent to the inn
portation.
More than $500 OF such patents.
trade marks and copyrights owned
by enemy aliens were seized during
the war by the Alien Property Gus
todian and subsequently, sold to the
Chemical Foundation at price
which, it has been charged in both
Senate and House, represented only
a fraction of their value. Reference
to the seizures and sale was made
tonight by Senator King and was
followed Immediately by Senator
Smoot's announcement. There was
opposition to this provision OF the
tariff bin from both Republicans
and Democrats.

cousin, Philip PauIko, is being
made by John kirkpatrick. his at
torney. through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Gusak's attorney has obtained Z
writ and a hearing will be held be-
fore Supreme Court Justice James
]. Bergen Monday morning. The
defense will endeavor to show that
the state has insufficient evidence on
which to convict the man The
prosecutors Office feels that there IL
sufficient evidence in their possess
sion to warrant holding the man n
connection with the case without
bail pending continued investiga-
ton.
The state feels that erroneous in
formation has been given in regard
to the mans death being accidental.
and members of the prosecutors
staff expect to gather information
which will contradict the story of
the defendant. Gusak claims Paulko
returned to the burning house IT
Bergen Mills TO save some money
and in this manner his death was
caused.
The investigation of the suspected
murder is still under way and from
latest accounts the county 4.3thur17
ties are of the belief that cold
blooded murder was Committed be-
fore the house was destroyed by IRE
in an effort to do away with all evil
dence OF foul play by the burning
of Pauk's body.
A checking up of the stories told
by Gusack and those told by the
neighbors do not agree and it :
held that Pauk would have been
able to escape from the burning
house if the stories told by Gusack
were true. However. the authori-
ties are more or less handicapped
in their investigation and hopes are
held that Gusack, who is confined
in the county jail, will solve the
mystery which still SURROUNDS the
burning Of the house and the body.
