Romantic Scenes
In Theodore

2 Fourteen hundred years ago, Byzan-
tium, or Constantinople. as 1t was then
called, was the capital city of the civ
ilized world. It is against this colorful
background that the story of Theodore"
is laid, to be shown at the Isis theatre
next Monday and Tuesday.
From humble beginnings-the daugh-
ter of a lion tanner at the Circus Maxi
mus-she was sent on the stage while
stili child, to earn her living, and de-
lighted Byzantium crowds with the spirit
and impudence Of her acting In the rough
farces Of the time. Becoming noted &C
tress, she left Byzantium for Pentapolis,
in northern Africa, with the newly ap-
pointed governor Of that province, but
soon ouarreled with him and returned
to her former life Of gaiety at the capital
There she attracted the attention of the
reigning Emperor's nephew, Justinfan,
who wished to marry her. but could not
overcome the opposition of his aunt, the
Empress Euphemia. When the latter
died in 523, and Constantine's law against
senators marrying women of the stage
had been repealed, Justinian and Theo-
dora were united, and shortly after, on
the death of Justinian the First, they be-
came Emperor and Empress OF the Ro-
man world.

Not Worried At
Proposed Change
In Constitution

WASHINGTON. July 5.-official
Washington Is not especially perhrbed
over the recent proposals to curb the
power OF the supreme Court by
amending the constitution so that
congressional reeaactment OF leglsla-
ton termed b~titutional by the
Supreme Court would suffice to make
the alleged unconstitutionahty con-
stitutionall
The general comment among legis-
lative leaders is that 1t would be i'm,
possible to get three -fourths of the
states to agree so radically to alter the
form OF government which has lasted
so we'll, and under which this country
has so decidedly prospered.
Neither are the various amendments
to the constitution which the A. +. of
L. is understood to favor considered
as probable, especially that one which
proposes an easier method" than the
present Of changing the constitution.
It is pointed out that the very diff
Guilty of changing the constitution is
one of the greatest safeguards OF
American liberties; were it as easy
to alter the fundamental law of the
land as 1t is 10 pass an appropriation
bill, passion, fanaticism. well-or-
gani2ed minority, any special interest,
might tamper with the constitution as
it pleased.
Ii is not contended by the most cru
dite constitutional lawyers in Congress
that the organic act which makes the
United states a country Is perfect.
That Il has been amended 10 times
shows that it has lacked something OF
perfection. But neither is 1T generally
considered that every amendment mas
baen truly beneficial. That more ire

tons would be Of real use to the coun-

SLATER, Mo-, July 5.-Striking
shopmen comprising between sixty
and seventy percent of the population

road yards, and placed them on a train
for Chicago.
An trains passing through Slater to-
night were searched for strikebreakers.
A force of strikers held the station
platfrom and others were posted at
various parts of the. yards. A dead
line has been established around the
railroad shops beyond which no
stranger could go in approaching the
shops.

How Much Do
The Strikes Cost
United States

WASHINGTON, July Statistics
issued by the Department of Labor
show that strikes in this country ay-
erage more than $500 per year. 1t lis
not commended by the department that
It's figures are accurate, since they
depend upon newspaper and trade pa
per reports for the most part, but that
they are under, rather than overstate-
ments.
It is impossible truthfully to esti-
mate the average cost of a strike.
since they vary so in duration, num-
Der of workmen affected an deconomic
loss through whatever industry is
wholly or partially shut down But If
the most conservative possible esti-
mate be adopted, and 1t is considered
that the average strike affects 100
workmen, and that the average strike
lasts 10 days, the total arrived at is
3, 900, 900 working days lost per year.
II the average cost to each workman
is So per day and the average loss to
each industry does not exceed three
times the loss to, the workmen, then
strikes cost this country some $685.
900, 900 year.
It is not believed that these figures
are anything out suggestive. InS HV-
erage strike undoubtedly affects thou
sands, rather than hundreds, and for
many more than ten days; few union
laborers receive as little as So a day,
and, OF course, the industry affected
suffers out of all proportion to the
workmen.
But, it is pointed out at the capitol,
If it were true that only $66,000,000
were wasted by strikes every year,
that s66 900, 600 spent in proper chan
rels on arbitration would undoubtedly
stop most if not all the strikes.
1t might be an economic measure to
spend a part of it for accurate Stats
tics of strike costs to the country; a
little education on what 1t really costs
to stop work might make people less
willing to indulge in, or cause, strikes.

New Restriction
Un immigration

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The flood
gates OF immigration were raised july
1st. when q new fiscal year began ana
foreign countries became possessed OIL
n new quota OF per cent of their ma
tionais already In America. During the
fiscal year just closed something over
n third OF q million immigrants came
to these shores: without the quota
lew more than million would have
landed heres
There are many who think the law
Is too liberal, ana 100000 foreigners
admitted 10 this country without more
restrictions as to education and citi-
zenship plans, too many. Among
them is Chairman Johnson Of the
house immigration committee. He
has introduced a bill In which admis-
sion for permanent residence in this
country would be granted only to
aliens eligible for citizenship, thus
shutting the gates to Japanese, Chi
nese, Monso!ians and others not grant
cd the right OF citizenship.
This bill would reduce on July 1,
1928, the quota percentage from each
country from to per cent based on
1910 census figures. In addition to
the per cent quota each country,
however, would be given a flat allow
auce OF Geo, the maximum total from
this 600 'ovr being estimated at "a
wv.
This reduction would cut the total
.ouosa admissions to 10000 yearly.
Not more than 10 per cent of any
country's quota would be admitted
into the United States in one month.
