Marriage, then, with us is the most important thing in life.

RETAIL CLERKS
Benefit at Rialto, Friday and
Saturday this Week

The Retail Clerks Unions big bene-
fit at the Rialto tonight and Saturday
night is sure to go over big as hum
dreds of tickets have been disposed of
by members of the local and organized
labor in general throughout the city
seem to be taking more than passing
interest in the clerks enterprise. The
members of the Clerks Union natur-
ally know the benefit of advertising,
and they have gone in for it right on
this occasion. They have covered the
city with large diamond-shaped hang
ers and they have distributed hun
dreds of copies of one of the hand
soonest souvenir programs ever got
ten by local union announcing the
big event
The attraction at the Rialto for the
clerks is Tom Mix and his famous
pony, Tony, in "Catch My Smoke"
said to be one of the seasons best
screen efforts. Added attractions are
Sunshine comedy, "Step Lively,
Please" an Urban classic; Towering
Wonders of Utah." and Rialto News.

BORROWED FROM THE FRENCH
Werd "Hsiio" an English Corruption
Which America Has Adopted ~
Own Expression.

You should try to learn the old wolf
hunters call, because you know the
wolf is scout and that should be the
scout call, says Dan Beard, in Boys
Life.
This call was used In France first
and afterward In England, but there
are no wolves In England now and the
bugle call has been forgotten in both
countries, therefore we paint 1t green
and call 1t our own" Even though
William Tell and Robin Hood bugled
the same calls before America was dis
covered, we can make 1t American the
same as we have made the old French
wolf hunters cry American. French
was spoken in English court circles,
SO the titled wolf hunters used the
French cry Of hab lie loup or a iop
loup, loup being pronounced loo, the
cry being a la loo; the English put on
the III and made 1t halloo, and we
made 1t hello, which Is an American
expression, as all the telephone girls
know.
SO the old wolf hunters bugle calls
which came here with the Huguenots
will also be American when blown
through q wooden fatboatsmen's trum-
pet.

MASON ON THE JOB

The citizens of Hamilton certainly
ought to raise their hats to Service
Director William F. Mason for the
manner in which Hamilton is receiv-
ing its annual general scrubbing
securing and cleaning. There is no
funds in the city treasury for this
purpose, but not to be daunted in his
cherished plan for the city's annual
polishing up, the hustling service di-
rector went out and begged and plead
ed with lot of Hamilton's business
men and manufacturers, whose pride
IN the city's welfare always causes
them to dig when called upon. until
he had money subscribed and pledged
and the loan of trucks promised to
go through with the job. Mason is
the kind of service director worth hav-
ing. More power to him. And right
here, let US offer thanks to those bust
ness men and manufacturers who by
their liberal donations of cash and
loan of their big trucks made the
cleanup possible.

NEcKTlE DATES FROM 1860
Was introduced Into France by Reol-
mont Of cravatss-Fashlon Some
times Became Extreme.

The neck was left unconf1ned by the
ancients The earliest form Of neck
tie was 4 simple cord worn around a
starched band Of linen attached to the
shirt. The modern tie was introduced
in 1880 by a regiment Of Cravates
which came to France. A bandage OF
silk or muslin was worn about the
neck OF the ofacers, while the soldiers
wore simpler stun. The ends which
fell over the breast were disposed In
bows or hung in tassels.
After the Revolution cravats disap-
psarsd along with tight breeches. In
1788 1t recovered Its popularity, and
was increased to g. degree Of extrava-
gance. Huge pieces of muslin were
worn around the neck by some per-
sons, while others wore padded
cushion Of numerous folds The collar
worn at this time arose about the ears,
and the mouth and chin were buried
nose-deep by the upper edge of the
cravat. The neck was puffed out larger
than the head.

THE UNION Label

Probably the most discouraging
omen as to the developments of
unionism in this country is the grow
ing negligence of the members of or
ganized labor as to the union label.
There was a time when business men
were impressed by the loyalty of
unionists to the distinctive products
of union-recognized plants, but now
there is a sadly general unconcern
on the part of the workers and their
families, which merchants and en-
ployers are quick to interpret as a
relaxing of union enthusiasm and de-
votion
1t is because of this lack of interest
that trade unionists are sometimes
clothed from head to foot in the pro-
ducts of non-union shops.
Workers should stop and give Sc
rious thought to the fact that every
time any member of organized labor
spends any of his earnings for the
products of the non-union shop he
helps to retard the progress of union
ism.
Every trades unionist must realize
that he must boost the union shop,
and thereby the members of organized
labor, by intelligent purchasing, if we
are ever to see the fulfillment of the
visions of better day of those who
toll
Workers will be surprised at what
rapid strides will be made toward
that goal if when they spend money
they demand the union label, shop
card, and working button.
No one can impede the workers
progress but himself. Conditions will
not change. until he changes them
Stop wishing and hoping for better
conditions and start an enthusiastic
campaign for the union label Wish
ing amounts to nothing unless accom-
panied by firm resolution to make
the wish come true.
Organized labor will become invin-
chile just as soon as its members
fully realize the strength they pos
sess in their power of purchase.
Their battle will be won when they
give thought to the spending of their
earnings.
There is an overwhelming power
in number of persons all doing their
utmost to accomplish the same re-
suit. Nothing can deter such tre-
mendous force from attaining sue

BEAT MIDDLETOWN"

We are always told it isn't right
and does not look nice, nor does it
speak we'll for to fuss and quarrel
with their neighbors. So for that
reason we will not fuss and quarrel
nor fall out with our good and kind
neighbor, Middletown. But if she is
looking for fight, and that is what it
looks like in The bridge situation,
why-that is different. Fighting is
not fussing and quarreling: it's differ
ent; in fact a horse of a different
color. It's no backyard stuff at all.
1t means that the local chamber of
commerce, the Retail Merchants As
sociation, organized labor and all
other organizations and individuals
with the least bit of civic and home
pride blood coursing through their
veins, must buckle on their armor
and stand together shoulder to shoul-
der, against the common enemy Let

home the bacon. Let's go!

The immunity Of Great Britain from
earthquakes is due to its geographical
situation. II lies at least 1000 miles
north of the nearest point Of the great
earthquake belt" which seismologists
have located and traced right round
the globe. This troubled zone runs
roughly parallel to the equator through
Japan, China, Asia Minor, the Mediter-
ranean countries, the Canary islands
and Central America, with an auxiliary
belt running southwark along the west
coast Of South America. Every big
earthquake of modern times has hap
pened somewhere along this belt, and
