Cummings Addresses
ROtarians On Textile Industries

The Skowhegan Rotary Club held its
regular Friday noon meeting and en-
joyed luncheon served by Caterer
Mrs. Kate Simpson. The speaker was
Willard II. Cummings, local agent of
the American Wooden Co.
Mr.. Cummings subject was 1.-THE
Textile Industries" and he dealt espe-
cially with the subject with reference
to the plants located in town. Mr..
Cummings said the prospect for the
next six months is very good. He also
stated that the normal output of the
local mills is a million and a half yards
per year. which is sufficient cloth to
clothes 100000 men.
Mr.. Cummings said that right now
is between seasons with the textile
work and SO it is rather slack, and an
other reason, he said. why there was
depression was that during the war
all mills put out war goods, but since
that time all mills for o year and a
half or two years have been putting
out great quantity of civilian goods
and at presen. there is not normal
demand. He spoke in a most encour-
aging manner from business stand
point.
Two members were absent because OF
Illness.

took back from Manchester, England,

ANCIENT LAW STILL STANDS
Edlct Issued by Roman Praetor 2,29o
Years Ago Held to Be Enforce
able in Scotland.

A Roman praetor's edict of 1920
years ago still affects innkeepers and
0stlers in Scotland. A Drainie farmer
handed his horse to an ostler to be
stabbed, and the ostler placed it into
double stable, where, shortly after,
second horse was placed. These two
horses had previously shared a stall,
and were known to be quiet and not
Quarrelsome. The farmers horse was
sound when it was put into the stable,
but when he returned for it, it was
found to be lame on the off fore leg,
and two days later, on the advice of a
veterinary surgeon, was destroyed.
The farmer sued the ostler and the
Judge dismissed the case, which was
appealed. The appeal judge held that
In law the Praetorian edict of 367 B.
G. applied and that the injury was
not due to the act of God" The
lord justice-clerk said the case raised
questions of Importance and difficulty.
The first question they had to decide
was whether a stabler fell within the

AMERICAN MEN OF LETTERS
Writers of Note Have Not Been Ac.
corded Proper Recognition by Ac-
knowledged English Authority.

When John Morley started the Eng
fish Men of Letters" series in 1878 he
did not include an American author
excepting Hawthorne; not even Emer-
son, for whom he was later to ex-
press his high regard. And it is char
acteristic of the difference between
the American point of view and the
British that all the volumes of the
English Men of Letters series were
issued in the United States, while only
two or three of the corresponding
American Men of Letters series were
issued in Great Britain.
We are interested in their authors
and they are not interested in ours, or
at least such interest as they may
have in ours is sporadic and .intermit-
tent accidental and uncertain. l know
only one British history of the litera-
ture of the English language which
pays any attention to the American
contributors to that literature. This
sole exception is the brilliant book by
Andrew Lang; and l have reason to
believe that he gave adequate consid-

DRAGONS OF EAST AND YVES!
Legends Regarding Them Vary Wide.
ly, the Oriental Mind Regarding
Them With Reverence.

Perhaps we never stop to realize
how strange it is that among the saints
there Is room for one to win his place
by the reputed actual saving Of lady
from a dragon. And yet this is the
story of Saint George of England, and
considered In no allegorical light by
the medieval church. The wealth
boarding and slaughter-bringing drag,
ons early trailed across the legends
Of Europe, bringing with them desola-
ton and forming pretexts for love al
fairs between lorn damsels and he
roes.
The eastern mind sympathized with
the dragon and made 1t the emblem
Of rule. / know Of only one instance
where anyone attempted to destroy
dragon, for they were usually regarded
as sacred ana of Incompatible power
The West, however, true to It's tenn
permanent, preferred to tell Of dragons
conquered and slain by the wit Of man.
The dragon is almost the symbol Of
nature in the East, and the different
WAYS of meeting 1t seem to form an
allegory of the oriental mystic rever-
ence of nature and the European scien-
titic conquest of it.-Elizabeth ]. Coats

PUT ANTIQUARIANS IN FURRY
Historic Old English Building, Long
Hidden Under Wmprovements,r
Recently Brought to Light

Lost for centuries, building Of his
sorfc and civic importance was dis
covered at Hereford, England, owing
to the collapse of a modern chimney
In the Booth Hall hotel during repairs.
The building Is an ancient, timber
built structure known as the Booth
Hall. According to local antiquarians
q license was granted In 1884 for the
purchase of the site for q municipal
building and 1t was afterward used as
a house CT detention for freemen and
bankrupts. When the chimney col
lapsed parts Of the roof and the cell.
lngs Of upper bedrooms were brought
down, and some fine oak beams and
rafters were exposed. Closer exami-
nation showed the portions Of carved
and nodded work. A member Of the
Hereford Woolhope club, a local soci.
ETY. whose chief interest is the preser
yation Of ancient work Of the county,
persuaded the owners to restore the
building, and after the partitions and
ceilings Of the old attic bedrooms had
been removed three handsome ham
mer-beam principals and two tie-beam
principals were discovered, the ham.
mer-beams having carved brackets
with figureheads, and the tie-beam
principals with paneled king posts
contained beautiful tracery panels.

CASTE PREJUDICE IN INDIA
the Observance Is Most Rigidly
Enforced

There are four main castles in India
the Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas
and Sudras, corresponding traditional
~ to the occupations of priest, warrior,
trader and artisan. But, though this
would suggest that caste was at one
time a class distinction, yet at the
present day a caste may include all
classes save that of priest, which is
reserved to the Brahmans. Caste is
no bar to any occupation. < rajah
may be a Sudra. His cook may be q
Hrahman. The rajah is of higher
class than his cook, though of very
much lower caste. And though the
Brahman will cook the rajah's dinner.
he win not eat it with him, or permit
his daughter to marry the rajah.
Though it is not looked upon with
pproyal, marriage is possible between
eastes which are not widely separated.
In particular, legal marriage can take
place between two contiguous castles.
iirt in all such mixed marriages the
children belong entirely to the low r
caste.
