TIE.uP COMPLETE IN
WYOMING VALLEY

WILKES BARRE, Pa, April s-The
tie-up was complete in the Wyoming
valley today SO far as the mining of
anthracite coal was concerned. the only
men at work being the exempted class
and miners who are lighting the fire in
the Red Ash Coal Company mines. Alb
soliIte peace reigned, the idle men flock
ing to Wilkes Barre and obeying the In
junction of their leaders to remain away
from the mine yards as one means Of
preventing trouble.
The only disturbing incident was the
flooding of the city and valley with circu-
lars denouncing the United Mine Workers
of America, and urging the men to join
zone big union.'' Union leaders however.
declared that little or no attention would
be paid to them by the mine workers.
Hundreds OF coal train crews were laid
OF by the several railroads today.

the Parcel Posi-

A, NJ. Anderson is shipping eggs By
parcel post. No doubt some OF the
mail clerks handling the cases have
some very yellow streaks. unless
pretty careful. When little shaver,
nearly half a century ago, we were
playing with a neighbor kid about
store, when the little fellow toppled
over into a washtub full Of eggs. The
henfruit was badly scrambled and the
kid looked like an omelet.
The parcel post. like the mantle
of charity, covers a multitude Of sins.
We saw mess In post office few
years ago, when gallon can Of paint
had been bursted in transit.
The worst stuck up lot Of female
mail clerks we ever saw was at the
Colorado City post ONCE A can OF
honey had been jammed and was
loose" in the mailbag. When the
bag was emptied into the trough In
the ONCE. everything thereabout was
sticking to everything else. The girl
clerks were sweet, II they were bad
ly stuck up.

Jay Walki,g

Everybody is guilty Of Jay walking.
including the women. 1t Is an easy
but dangerous way to get somewhere
quickly. The Herald man does as
much OF II as anyone. When We came
here one Of our resolves was that We
would stay on the walks, but that old
saying, when In Rome, do as the
Romans do" got W., and we were
coon cutting corners and hiking
across the street anywhere. just as
most everyone else does.
The Jay walker takes much risk.
and IL run down. has little chance Of
getting pay for injuries. II a person
is injured while on regular cross
ing. the driver Is much more liable
TO damages, than II he hit someone
in the middle Of the street.
In many cities jay walking is a mis-
slemeanor. and the person guilty OF
such is liable to arrest and fine.

Why Ordinances

The new traffic ordinance has now
been law for a few weeks. Has
anyone seen any difference in regard
to traffic? We can answer that for
the whole town. Not bit. Trafflc
conditions are not any worse than
before the ordinance was passed. and
they are not any better.
Ignorance OF law is no excuse
for disobeylng II. When law is a
dead letter II often becomes a joke.
Some may not know the provisions
Of the new trafhc ordinance. but
many do who pay no attendion to It.
There Is not one car in hundred
stopped on Main street that com.
plies with the ordinance.
We do not make these references
because We are sors or to tlnd fs9lk
but to give the readers something to
think about.

Church Orchesfras

Evolution. That's 1t. In early days
the churches had nothing in the
musical line but singing. Then the
organ came Then the pipe orgaa in
the cities. 1t was still an organ.
Then where pipe organ could not
be afforded, plano was had. That
was stenping right along in church
music. There was a question with
some whether plano music was Just
as orthodox as It should be. Then
came the orchestra, with various in.
struments, including the violin. In
older times It was fiddle.
The idea Of fiddle in church. My.
My! Some Of the good old departed
brothers and sisters would turn over
in their graves could they hear a fid.
die in church. Many Of them thought
the devil was in every fiddle.
However. the church orchestra has
undoubtedly come to stay. And why
not? There is nothing that thrills
more than music. To be sure, at
times 1t causes foolishness In the
feet. but there are times when the
feet should be kept still. Battles
have been won and souls have been
saved by the strains Of music.
Let the church orchestra continps
to be part Of the Sunday services.
1t makes such more interesting to
many and increases the attendance.
The church Is good place to go.

Short Cuts

There are many kinds Of short
cuts in life. Some are popular, 9TH
ers not. About the first shortcuts
we heard OF were at the butchershop.
but since the war we have not in
quired for much about such places
but hot dog and liver. The airplane
makes shortcuts to cities and the
automobile shortcuts to the ceme-
terry.
The latest shortcut is in connection
with the stomach, that portion of the
human machine which affords great
mixture of pleasure and pain as we
journey from the cradle to the cor
ner lot in the silent city ofSthe dead.
You know these doctors. who are
not only willing to follow the biblical
injunction and give us IAN eye for
and eye and tooth for a tooth" but
most anything else to keep lis geared
so we can at least keep from being

The latest claim of the NJ. D. pro-
flesh is that section Of the intes-
tines adjoining the stomach can be re.
.kinked portion. said to be
will preclude the
likelihood Of much ailment in or near
that vital organ. Most all troubles
Of the unbilical region are said to
emanate In the intestinal curve ex-
cept appendicitis. which Is not any
more popular now that the flu. We
are told that to remove that section

But then, life would not seem real

stomachache. It is lire first thing
we have on coming into the world
and about the last as we pass out.

terested townspeople some night ac-

The small boy would know moth

Two teams took the notion of get

north three blocks east OF Main

south Of the Continental Oil company
plant. They then turned north, cross
ed the railroad tracks, and started

q mile north of town by car. No
damage was reported.
