PHEASANT EGGS FROM
ENGLAND HATCH HERE

LONDON Experiments made by a
largo firm of game breeders have
shown that pheasant's eggs can be
sent to American and satisfactorily
Matched out.
The firm has therefore made ar
rangements with a transatlantic line
of steamers to take over ten thousand
eggs by their vessels when the laying
season starts next month.
"The pheasant is not native to
America" said the manager Of this
firm, "and stocks have constantly to
be renewed and the blood strains
changed. Hitherto we have been
sending live birds, but now we know
that eggs can be sent equally as well
they will be shipped the day they
are laid and should be under a hen
pheasant or in an incubator in Amer
lea about ten days later"

STRIKERS BARRED
By Massachusetts Law Body

Boston.-The house of representa-
tives has rejected a bill which would
have reinstated on the police force
one of the policemen who went on
strike here in 1919 After the long
est debate in the recent history of
the house, the vote was 76 to 146
against acceptance of committees
favorable report on the reinstatement
of James F. Allen, who had been
severely wounded, prior to the strike,
in battle with bandits.
A substitute bill, which would have
authorized the police commissioner
to reinstate any former members of
the force whom he might deem fit,
was defeated by viva voce vote.
Many of these policemen fought in
France for democracy. They have
always insisted that if they were
accorded even portion of the at
tention that has since been given
strikebreakers, there would be no
strike
The misrepresentation of the police
mems cause, and their repeated re-
buffs has blinded the popular mind to
fair estimate of this situation.

MAKE EN- PAY IT!
Government to Aid i'm Up
holding Prices, Congress
man Predicts

Washington. = The next congress
will accept the principle of price
Standardization is the startling pre-
diction by Congressman Clyde Kelly
of Pennsylvania.
The suggestion that business man
may file list of his prices with the
government, and that these prices
would be Investigated by govern
nient board is startling departure
from the theory that no one can inter-
fere with a mans business.
This change has been brought about,
according to Congressman Kelly, by
the United States supreme courts
contradictory decisions on price fixing
and the right of business men to set
their own prices.
1t is now proposed to set up machin-
cry for price Standardization to per-
NIT any independent manufacturer of
standard identified articles to file a
schedule of his prices with the fed
eral trade commission, which could
investigate and determine whether
the prices were fair. A retailer
handling this article would be requir-
ed to offer to resell them to the manu-
facturer for the price he paid for
them before he would be permitted to
offer them for sale to the public at
prices lower than the standard fixed
prices.
Under this system manufacturers of
well-known articles would have the
right to set retail prices and would
have the law aid them in stopping
retail price cutting by compelling the
retailer to first offer to return the
goods to the manufacturer for the
price he (the retailer) paid for them.
This portion of the bill makes 1t
easy for the manufacturers to wink
the other eye when they deplore gov
ernment interference with business.

once stood the manger In which Jesus
was born. At Rachels tomb we find
military guardians also, as there will
be, OF course. until the question is
settled as to Palestine's future. We
buy wreath from a native child and
place 1t on the tomb, already heaped
with offerings.
First comes the Washing Of the
Feet, survival Of a miracle play,
which we witness with a multitude of
pilgrims from the high windows and
roof Of the Greek convent The chief
event Of the week, however, is the
Holy fire for which we take our places
early in the morning, for the doors are
sealed at twelve o'clock. Spectators
are clustered thickly together, deep In
archways and rotundas, where small
wooden platforms have been erected,
and there on their rugs and carpets
they sleep all Holy week with their
babies, food and other luggage
An hours rest and bit Of refresh
ment and we are back for the mid
night service. Later we follow the
crowds down the stairs, out into the
starlight to the narrow steps leading
to Calvary, where amidst the simmer
Of silver lamps there Is service, with
Easter chants as sweet and haunting
rs the Pilgrims Chorus" Even as we
ponder over the worn steps there Is a
tumult OF bells and cry Of rejoicing,
as from one throat, "Christ is risen !"
We follow the crowd back to the
Church Of the Holy Sepulcher where
they are having the procession, the
pilgrims partaking Of holy communion
in the courtyard on the very spot that
marks the tomb. When 1t is all over,
the crowds gradually disperse, the
priest scattering blossoms over them
as they pass; but the bells never cease
their tolling Of the resurrection mes
sage.
Too wide awake to even think of
going to bed, we eat with relish the
breakfast awaiting us, and when we
have finished this repast we run away
from our dragoman, preferring to
visit, without cicerone, some Of the
sacred places where the great events
in Christ's life took place. Out into
the sweet Easter dawn we hasten,
past the Market Of David, the Wall Of
Wailing, through the Street of Sor-
rows where Pontius PLATE condemned
Christ to death, until at last we reach
the road, the Via Dolorosa itself. Like
dusty white ribbon 1t threads it's
way between the city bulwarks to the
hills OF the Mount Of Olives, honey
combed with tombs all the way to the
Garden Of Gethsemane. 1t is the same
road over which Christ passed on
Palm Sunday when the multitudes
followed crying. "Hosanna to the Son
OF David!" There is the same piteous
crowd Of humanity all along the way,
lying as 1t does In the Valley Of Je-
hosaphat-lepers, blind, halt, poor,
aged, all supplicating passersby.
At last we pause and peer over the
wall at hill-Calvary, Golgotha, or

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.-The
$14 minimum wage for women in so
far as it applies to manufacturing,
laundries and retailing, has been sus-
pended until September l. Wages for
experienced workers until that time
will be $12 per week. The chairman
of the minimum wage board says bus

permit readjustment in the various
industries"
When the board set the $14 rates it
stated that the lowest budget for a

Faith Brought Forth by War.

The great harvest Of death In France
brought the subject Of life everlast-
Ing more closely home to millions Of
men and women than 1t was ever
brought before and has made Easter
more significant festival, for 1t stands
for resurrection and only faith In that
doctrine, that mystery, can reconcile
those who make the great sacrifice to
their fate or can console those who
mourn. The very war itself has In
stilled this faith. Whenever soldiers
who have been at the front express
themselves on the subject 1t Is to
show belief in future life. The
testimony Of chaplains and Of nurses
Is that the men do not consider the
destruction Of their bodies the end
of all.-New York Sun.

Tony" the marvellous horse and
fawless photography, Catch My

made by Toms enemies to defraud
him out of his property upon his re-
turn from France and of the dynamic

work he succeeds in eluding his pur-
suer. This is one of the best photo

RESCUE CREWS FORCED TO EN-
TER MINE THROUGH AN
AlRSHAFT

Trinidad, Colo.-Ten bodies of the
miners have been removed from the
Southwestern mini of the Rocky
lar district, which was the scene of a
gas explosion.
Two blackened and mangled bodies
lie in an undertaking place IT Agui-
lar, and eight others in the morgue
here. The body of Leon Cordova,
was the last one removed from the
wrecked north slope.
The ten miners, whose bodies have
been recovered, were caught in an ex-
plosiOn of gas in the mine during a
fifteen-minute period when the venti-
lation fan vas shut off. Officials be-
lieve that a light from IA miners
torch touched off the explosion that
wrecked the mine and killed the ten
lei
The dead are: Leon Cordova, John
Konistakis, John SOuaginis, Chris
Katcicis, Candelaro Trujillo, Tony
Boznan, Roy G~allegos, Luke Lucero,
Alex johnson, 2. f. McKenna.
The body of Cordova was found
within zoe feet of the entrance, indi-
eating hat he was making his way
out when caught by the explosion.
Superintendent Morgan Williams of
the mine had just started out to in
vestigate the shutdown of the venti-
lation fan. But the fifteen minutes
that the fan had not been working,
enough of the deadly gases pene-
trated the shaft, and the light ex-
ploded it.
He was hurled some twenty feet by
the force of the explosion, but was
unhurt.
The air pump was not damaged by
the explosion and was used to clear
the shaft of foul air and pump fresh
air to the rescue workers.
Falls from the wall of the slope
were heavy but the roof in the greater
portion remained intact, greatly facil-
itating the work of rescue.
Eighty men working in gangs and
shifts assisted in the rescue work. The
rescue was in charge of a rescue force
rushed to the scene of disaster in a
government bureau of mines car from
Trinidad. Men from nearby camps,

tor American mines Joined in the
work.
Had the average normal number of
men been working in the shaft at the
time of the explosion mine officials
say that between forty-flve and seven
ty men would have been killed. The
men who were killed were working on
an idle day.
The explosion is the first one at

in the Trinidad coal field since March
of 1922, when nineteen were killed at
Sopris.

has been producing. The product av-

The underground workers of the
mine were badly wrecked by the ex-
plosion. The blast demolished the
mouth of the mine and rescue workers
entered the mine through an airshaft.
