Proper Brewing of Tea
Told BY Chinese Poet

High tea would have been deemed
an abomination by the Chinese poet Lu
Wuh, who held that no food should be
taken in conjunction with the most de-
licious Of all beverages. Lu Wuh
maintained that only three ingredients
are necessary for its decocton-tea,
water and salt-but each should be
selected with care
''The leaves Of the tea plant must
have creases like the leathern boot OF
O Tartar horseman, must curl Ike the
dewlap Of mighty bullock; must I'M
fold like the mist rising out Of "a
vine, must CLEAN like lake touched
by zephyr; and be wet and soft like
fine earth newly swept by rain" Ac-
cordlng to this authority o mountain
spring furnished the best water for
tea making, with river water and or
binary spring water next In order OF
excellence.
"There are three stages Of boiling"
Lu Wuh goes on to say. "The first
boil is when the little bubbles like the
eye Of fishes swim on the surface.
The second boil Is when the bubbles
are like crystal beads rolling In fopn-
tain. The third boil Is when the BILL
lows surge wildly In the kettle"
Salt Is put In the first boil, tea In
the second boil; at the third a clipper
full Of cold water is poured into the
kettle to settle the tea and revive "the
youth Of the water" after which the
decoction is poured into cups and
drunk.-Mancheste Guardian.

Paine Helped Create
and Named the u. 8. A.

To the average American Thomas
Paine is known merely as an "inhdel."
He has been told that Paine wrote a
book entitled sage Of Reason" that as
sailed orthodox Christianity. Me may
not know that two decades before the
"Age Of Reason" Paine, native OF
England, wrote pamphlet that started
the American colonists really to think
Of separating themselves from Eng
land and joining themselves together
as a new nation, Says the Detroit
News. When the revolution FIRST start
ed 1t was only q revolt against oppres-
sive measures Of taxation and unjust
political discrimination. Even Wash
ington as late as May, 1775, declared
himself against separation.
Then, early in January, 177o, Paine
published Common Sense" in which
he not merely proposed an independent
nation to the dissatisfied colonists, but
raised the rebellion to the higher
plane Of a war for liberty. Washington
was converted Immediately. Paine de-
clined to accept any profit from the
work for himself, but gave all the
financial proceeds to the patriot cause.
It was in Common Sense" that the
present name Of the nation, "the
United States Of America" first ap-
peared.

GRAINS OF COAL

Minute Carbon Granules Change
Sound Waves In Air Into EIec-

Most people think Of GOAL as a sub
stance used either to furnish heat or
to generate power. but 1t has another
and most important function-it helps
US to talk.
In every telephone transmitter there
10 q quantity Of coal which 10 placed
In a receptacle In the transmitter just
behind the thin, metal diaphragm
against which the voice strikes. When
one speaks into the mouthpiece the
voice makes the diaphragm vibrate and
that shakes up the loose contacts In the
little pile Of carbon granules. This
produces q change In the electric cur
rent, there being q strong current when
the diaphragm Ia pushed in, and
weak current when the diaphragm is
pulled out.
The party at the other end Of the
wire is able to hear because the re-
ceiver has a diaphragm that moves
back and forth with a strong current
when the diaphragm is pulled in. and
q weak current when the diaphragm
10 lot go. Thus sound waves are set
up almost like those which went into
the transmitter at the other end of
the wire.
The coal used 10 obtained from a
particular vein Of anthracite which
engineers Of the Bell System have
found to be especially suited for use
In telephone transmitters. This coal
70 given a special treatment such as
cleaning, drying and grading, before
It 10 used.
In the event Of a coal strike, 1t
would have to last for several years
before interfering with the manufac-
ture of transmitters, as one pound of
this coal is suficisnt TO All 700 trans
mitters, and two or three tons a year
would supply the million and a half
transmitters made for the Bell System
annually and leave some over for the
use Of European customers.

The contrast between the attitude
of residents of the Old and the New
World toward that great modern con-

the fact that the City Of London,

has but 4OO.077 telephones, while To
ronto. the capital Of the Province of
Ontario, with a population OF only
800 900, has 13O,375 telephones. about

ECONOMY Us. RISING COSTS

THE great problem of the telephone
- business in the past few years has been to
meet the increased costs of the things involved
in furnishing telephone service without CORE
spending increase in charges for service.
The increase in the cost of most of these things
varies from rs 20 100 per cent.
O,A notable instance is the Company's
taxes, which have advanced from $386,OOO in
1919 to about 81 100000 at the present time.
Based on the tax per telephone this an
increase of IS per cent
O,h order to meet these increased
costs methods have been adopted. labor
saving devices introduced, waste eliminated,
closer supervision and effective training
have been naugurated and individual efficiency
has been stimulated
Gas a result of these accomplish
ments, we have now more permanent force
working more efficiently than before. AS
example, in 1919 we had employee for
every 40 telephones; now we have one employee
for every As telephones. While there has been
a SO per cent increase in the number of tele-
phones the number of employees has increased
only 20 per cent.
Q,Althoug Oh the cost of the things that
go into giving telephone service is more
than rs per cent higher than formerly, the
improvements and economies we have effected
have made it possible for us thus far to furnish
service at approximately rs per cent above
pre-war charges.
Gland with the moderate increases
now under consideration, the increase in the
cost of telephone service to the will still be
far below the general advance in living costs.

What Can Shop Nuclei Do? >
By Martin Abern

gle activities find, in one way or the
other, political expression.
A manual cannot very we'll be given
to a party member as to how to con-
duct themselves in a shop. Only
general outlines can be given, but ex-
perience will show the shop nucleus
how to round out its activities polit-
ically. First start the job of organi-
zing the shop nucleus; being to lead
the workers in the shop ideologically
economically and politically, and you
will begin to get and retain confidence
of the other workers. You will learn
to measure the political maturity of
the workers and how to develop that
further. The work is hard and there
will be direct rebuffs from the work
ers and perhaps even worse, but that
is another matter. The safety of the
party is, in short, in political organic
alton in the shops, but that is a dis
cussion for another time.
To close, then, the party is serious
in it's efforts to reorganize the party,
and the membership should give its
support to the necessary change.
There can be no question of this
resulting in building and developing
our party. Our slogan must be:
Every member an agitator!

cleus in Chicago is doing the latter.
These are the small things, it can
perhaps be said: it is true, but they
are the living issues which arouse
workers and which organize them for
concrete issues of the day and
develops their thought for greater,
for political problems.
Party Thinks In Terms Of Shop and
Struggle.
What the shop nuclei activity does
for our party members is that it
changes their attitude towards the
class struggle.
Not in a fundamental political sense,
that is, but it makes our members
face the realities of the every day
practical world. 1t destroys any ollie
tante attitude toward the struggle and
makes them, instead, apply political
knowledge to concrete economic con-
ditions and use their Communist
understanding to develop their fellows
workers politically.
There are so many things that can
be pointed out which shop nucleus
does, but which a party branch can
not very we'll do.
There is the work to establish shop
committees, to help organize the
union, to make a conscious effort to
develop politically. The activities and
duties of the members in shop nu-
cleus are so numerous that pages
could be written on each. But it is
important to begin with, to point out
only some of the immediate activities
mentioned hitherto, to indicate the
possibilities of shop nucleus work.
The small attempt at factory cam
paigns by the Young Workers League
and Workers Party in Chicago at the
Western Electric, International Har-
yester, Hegewisch and other places is
only a slight indication of the propa-
ganda and organization for commu-
nism that is possible. But if results
of a good character can be shown
when such factory campaigns, etc. are
directed by the party from outside
the factory, how much more effective
would these and other campaigns be
if the party membership in these
factories were organized as political
units within them to carry out such
a campaign with preparations before
hand within the factory, and with a
knowledge of what are the conditions
therein and what the workers think
and want?
There is the question of wall news
papers or bulletins written in ink or
pencil, if need be, and pasted in the
factory somewhere for the workers in
the shop.
1t is very true that it is difficult at
first to organize and to work political
ly in the shop; for these is the
tendency to take up the shop and
immediate problems and forget the
main thing, the political development;
however, in the work, all class strug-
