SAYS PUBLIC PAYS
HIGH RAIL WAGES
Representative of Railroads
Pleads With Labor Board
for Reductions.
by the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March S.-The public gen
orally, including wage earners in
other industries, should not be called
upon to pay transportation charges
| based on an inordinately high level
of railroad wages. John G. Walber,
executive secretary Of the bureau Of
information for the eastern railroads.
said today before the United States
railroad Labor Board. which is COM
SiderinS the petitions of these rail-
roads and other carriers for wage re-
ductions among railroad workers
1T was natural" he said, that the
manufacturers and other representa-
! tives of the shipping public should
| feel that as their industries had been
undergoing the process of readjust-
,, ment. and as the railroad industry
was still operating on the basis of
wartime costs. plus the increase IN the
cost of their labor resulting from de-
cision Of the Labor Board, that the
railroad industry should also con-
tribute toward the readjustment.
we submit that it is to the greater
interest of the railroad employees and
the public in general that the em-
pioyes be placed upon u basis which
will permit of working the maximum
forces. so providing employment for
the greatest numbers, increasing the
consuming public and in that way
contributing to the general revival of
business.
Although the reduction in the cost
of living from May !. 1920 to July
l. 1921. was approximately 20 per cent
as indicated by governmental and
other statistics, yet the reduction in
wages effective July /, 1921, was ap-
proximately IL per cent"
Mr. Walber introduced exhibits to
show that the cost of living today is
! back where it was In 1918.

TRACED TO DRUIDICAL TIMES
Custom That Is Believed to Have
Been Forerunner Of Modern
april Fools Day."

April Fools day is from an old GUS
tom dating from the time Of the Dru-
ids that the first of April takes its
name. Although most people call it
"All Fools day" it is more than likely
that it should be "Old FOOLS day
a modern way of saying Aud Fools
day"
In the old Druid times any young
maidens who could pluck enough cour-
age (for it was considered daring
thing to dO) used to visit one of the
sacred groves between ten and
twelve O'Clock on the night of April /.
Here they all stood behind one an
other, and as soon rs they heard the
boot of an owl, started slowly running
round and round A. they ran they
sang some weird Old chant, the gist
Of which was that they wanted Il man
to run with them.
Then those of the Girls who were to
be married during the next year would
suddenly see the ghost Of white man
by their side. A black escort showed
that the unfortunate young lady Was
going to die during the ensuing year.

her replies indicated that she was not

that she was listening most intently.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then seeing far-away look
In his wtfe's eyes he began to read as
follows:
"Last night, at about O'Clock In
the afternoon. few minutes before
breakfast. hungry boy, about sixty
years old, bought an orange for a
dime, and threw it through concrete
wall twenty feet thick. With a cry of
despair. he jumped into dry mill

1t is the belief of scientists that,
during the glacial period, when the
land was covered with huge coats Of
ice, the level of the ocean was from
$50 to POO feet lower than its normal
level, according to DR.. T. W. Vaughan
of the United States geological survey.
This belief is based upon the theory
that what goes up must come down,
and scientists are able to account for
the presence of ice on the land only
on the supposition that it came from
the sea.
Proof Of this is found in coral reefs
in all parts of the world. Their posi-
ton indicates that the building was
commenced in the shallow waters of
the then coast line, only to have the
waters rise. The little animals which
create the reefs kept on building
toward the new level. Many Of the
reefs, it has been observed, have been
built on submarine shelves, and these
are invariably found on coasts which
show signs Of having once been sub.
merged.
