Odd enal neolslon

A curious verdict just returned In q
French court acquits a man of murder
according to the unwritten law, which
always exists In France, but requires
him to pay heavy fine to the widow
Of the victim. Valat kept wine shop
in Paris. His neighbor, q retired lock-
smith, became friend of Valat and
further sought TO win the friendship
of the wine dealers wife. When he
discovered the intimate relations
which existed between his wife and
the locksmith Yalat decided TO avenge
himself, but not desiring to kill he
asked the locksmith to pay him 10000
francs which he needed to complete
the purchase Of his wine shop. The
locksmith refused whereupon Valat
killed him. Probably because of his
heroic conduct at Verdun Valat was
acquitted, the unwritten law being rec
ognized, but the jury, finding him part
ly guilty, sentenced him to pay 10000
francs damages to the Iocksmith's
widow

Fittlnq Suits by x-Ray.

The latest idea in the trade of tai
loring comes from Paris where cloth
iers propose to at their customers
without the aid of chalk or tape
measure. BY the use of an X-ray pho
tograph they can eliminate all danger
of misf1ts and avoid all necessity for
trying on" The X-ray silhouettes of
the regular customers which would
have to be very different from ordi-
nary X-ray pictures, would be stocked
In the fitting cupboards, and so quick
and cheap do they expect the process
to be that the ready-to-wear suit
would be put out of the market.

MARKED EPOCH IN HISTORY
Founding of First Public Library, at
Alexandria, Egypt, Was of the
Highest Importance.

The first important private library
of which we have definite knowledge
belonged to Aristotle. 1t was later
brought to Rome by Sulla. Such pri-
vate collections Indirectly influenced
public libraries.
The largest library of the ancient
world, that at Alexandria, is said to
have been prompted by Phalereus the
actual founder was either Ptolemy /,
Softer, or Ptolemy Ii, Philadelphus.
Possibly the father had gathered fine
private collection and the son threw
it open to scholars as real library;
for it occupied quarters In the royal
palace, near the famous museum.
This library marked new epoch in
history. 1t was the first scientifically
administered institution of the kind,
and upon its existence depended the
scholarly labors of the students at the
museum. 1t was here that classical
philology had it's cradle and linguis-
tic study received its first impetus.
From the beginning, there was sec
much smaller In extent. 1t occupied
the temple OF Scraps, and It's rela-
ton to the larger library resembled
that of city library to a university
library.
Under the direction of distinguished
scholars and able organizers the
larger institution grew with what we
| may call American rapidity. It's his
tory during this period has become
better known through papyrus dis
covered few years ago.
The eagerness of the library author
| tiles to secure new books and rare
books sometimes led them to adopt
devices that would not be counte-
nanced by modern ethics So keen was
the rivalry with the library at Per
CANON, that the Egyptians tried to
hamper the latter's growth by a rather
futile embargo on the expectation OF
papyrus. Thereupon the people at
Pergamon invented the book material
which received It's name from their
| city-parchment.
/ Demetrius PhalereuS reported that
In his day there were two hundred
thousand rolls or volumes in the IL
brary at Alexandria. The poet Kali
machos, under Ptolemy II, reckoned
their number at nearly half million
When the library was burned in At B
O., it was supposed to contain sever
hundred thousand books, while the IL
brary at the Serapeion, In the same
city, contained $4,000.
After this fire, which destroyed mos
of the books, which Caesar had al
ready stored on the wharves for trans
portation to Rome, Antony presented
Cleopatra with the library OF Per
CANON. In 272 A. d. the museum II
brary was destroyed, and In 381 A. D
the same fate overlook the library q

their destruction by the Arabs is

IMPROVE LABOR LAW

Nashville, Organized labor
in this state is jubilant over its sue
cess in inducing the Tennessee legis-
lature to strengthen the compensation
law The law makers were impressed
with the justness of the workers
claims, and refused to adopt the pol
icy of the Tennessee manufacturers
association.
Maximum benefits have been in
creased from $11 week to $14 Coal
miners; heretofore excluded, were
brought under the act, and board
was created with authority to fix a
fair rate for compensation insurance
The old law was a bonanza to the pri-
vate insurance companies.

SOME "JACK"
Lockout Proves Costly To
Eastern Railroads

New York.-The Delaware & Hud-
son railroad and the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad make a
gloomy report to their stockholders.
President Loree, of the former road,
reports deficit of $476,O00 last year
as against a net profit of $4,937 ,452
the previous year. This road has been
one of the leaders against railroad
shop men and its union-smashing ven
ture changed net profit of nearly
$5, 100000 in 1921 to deficit of $476,-
600 in 1922
Similar losses are also reported by
President Pearson, of the New Ha-
ven, a road that has been used as a
football first by frenzied fnanciers
and now by union smashers, who re-
port deficit last year of $4,865, ,767.
This road is another leader in the
shop mems lockout That this policy
is responsible for present conditions
on the New Haven is indicated by
President Pearson's statement that
the lockout has increased operating
expenses, and that "at the present
time there is an excess of substantial
~ so locomotives in need Of repairs
beyond the average of past year"
With this record of incompetency
and union smashing, President Pear
son includes in his report the usual
lamentation on regulatory re-
straints' and the Campaigns of mis-
representation and unfair attacks be
ing conducted against the railroads. y

Chinese Letters.

Chinese scholars and patriots have
recently accomplished the onerous
task of reducing the 10000 old Chi
nese characters to a simple alphabet
of 80 symbols. The object is twofold
to enable the entire Chinese popu-
lation to read and write-hitherto
these were scholarly feats-and to en-
able the inhabitants of the various
Chinese provinces to understand each
other. The establishment of ma
tional Chinese dialect will go far to-
ward making China a nation.

PAUPER WAGE
Of Trusts Can't Hold Work
ers Even With "The
Increase"

Chicago.--The meat trust has rails
ed wages of unskilled labor, 5 cents
an hour; of semi-skilled, cents an
hour, and of skilled, cents an hour.
The meat barons follow similar ac-
tion by the steel trust, both of whom
have been forced to "tag" behind the
trade union movement, which has ev-
erywhere secured substantial increas-
es for the workers. Under these con-
ditions the two trusts realize it can
not hold workers with 37-cent wage.
The meat trust gives some cheap
advertising to its company union,
which is given credit for this increase.
The Armour concern nearly destroyed
the joke when it announced that the
company union" in it's plant "exam-
ined the books of the company" The
meat barons indicate their opinion of
the Judgment of the people who are
asked to believe that group of
butcher workmen, selected with the
aid of managers, foremen and straw
bosses, can step from the slaughter

These unions" were organized in
the meat industry just prior to the
last wage reduction. The union" ex-
amined the books then, and with the
wisdom of a barn full of owls de-
manded wage reductions. The bona
fide union in this industry resisted
that wage cut and has been fighting
for it's restoration since
