Tells the Story
BY LELAND OLDS.

kFederated Press Industrial EdItor)
The average employment in
manufacturing since the repub-
lican gang took hold Of the fed
eral government on March a,
1921, has been more than II per
cent below the 10 year average.
This lack of opportunity to
earn a meager living is revealed
in the September employment
statistics of the u. S. depart
ment of labor and stands out in
sharp contrast with the huge in
comes of the profiteers uncov-
cred by the treasury depart
ment.
Employment in September, accord
ing to the department Of labor index,
was Is per cent below year ago
while total wage payments declined
more than IA per cent. Taking the
average number employed in man
ufacturing establishments during 1928
as 100 per cent, employment in Sep
TENDER would be represented by S6.7
per cent, compared with an average
Of 1915 per cent for the 10 years end
ed June 80, 1924.
This slump in industrial activity
has extended its blight to the workers
in every major industry. The table
compares employment and total
wages in September Of this year with
those Of September 1923:

Yankee Genius Floods
World With EUerything

make bold to believe that in the
United States today at the close of
this first quarter Of this Twentieth CEN
tury there can be seen an ingenuity In
plot-making and a fertility in devising
situations recalling that which was to
be observed In France In the days OF
Scribe and Dennery and Sardou and In
Spain In the days Of Lope de Vega and
Calderon, two periods of dramaturgic
dexterhy and Of abundant productiv-
ity. The American faculty Of inven-
tion. which has filed the world with
Yankee contrlyances, seems to have
been directed suddenly to the construc-
ton Of plays. says Brander Matthews
In Scribner's ! am aware that to say
this is to lay myself open to the retort
that our plays are as machine e-made ns
our Yankee contrivances. and even
that we are engaged In quantity pro
duction rather than quality production.
If thus c0rnered | should have TO con-
fess that there may be more than a
little truth In the charge: but l should
profrer as my rejolnder the statement
that not a few Of the American plays
OF this century are as Interesting In
the library as they are in the theater.

Glastonbury Thorn Was
Staff of ST. joseph

The beautiful story of the Glaston-
bury thorn begins in the dawn Of
Christianity with Joseph OF Arimathea,
one Of the devoted band of disciples
sent forth to carry the gospel to the
ends of the earth.
st. Joseph was accompanied by
twelve others. and the little company
of zealots pursued their weary way
to the west Of England. to the ancient
Isle Of Avalon, says the Detroit News.
When Joseph and his companions,
fOotsore, hungry and weary. one day
at twilight came TO hill southwest
of Glastonbury and saw falryland
valley beneath wrapped around by the
silver ribbon OF the Brent river. they
knew their wanderings were over and
that there they should raise citadel
Of faith to their risen Lord.
Deep into the earth Joseph struck
the staff that had given him such good
service on the long march. as token
that his work should take root there
and flourish. This thorn staff was a
cutting from the very Palestinian
thorn tree. according to tradition, from
which thirty years before had been
stripped branches and pointed leaves
to make the crown OF mockery worn
by the Man, OF Sorrows on the cross
The staff so impulslvely planted
took root, according to the legend.
and blossomed, strangely enough at
Christmas, as well as In the summer
time. at the same time bearing ripe
fruit. II was said that Joseph also
brought with him to Glastonbury the
holy cup, known as the holy grail.

Smoking Introduced in
America br the Chinese

The Indian long has enjoyed the rep
utntion of having invented the pipe
and bequenthed to white men the joys
of tobacco. Recent discoveries In the
West indicate, however. that the In
dian In turn may have inherited the
smoking habit from much earlier PEE
rIod, and that smoking was introduced
into America by the Chinese at some
remote time. 1t Is certain that the
East Indians have been smoking for
some two thousand years.
Long before tobacco was discovered
smoking had become fine art. Baby.
Ion doubtless had many smokers who
were as particular about their pipes
and brands as any one today. They
smoked different woods and herbs and
paid special attention to blending
them to get the desired flavor. A
piece OF wood was burned to char
coal, and smoked in an ornamented
pipe. When the charcoal was red
hot powder was dropped on 1t and
the resulting smoke was inhaled.
Throughout Central Asia In remote
times smokers were common and were
exacting about the tobacco" or what
ever II was they smoked. They used
the gum from trees, bark and many
aromatic herbs and smoked various
kinds of flowers.
Soldiers have been smokers from re-
mote antiquity. The Russian military
camps still yield pipes. The ruins Of
Roman cities, notably Pompeii, show
that smoking must have been common.
Many Of the pipe designs were most
elaborate-New York Times.

MAIN STREET JUST

1t is not definitely known who coin
ed the phrase There's one born ev-

alleged, has given expression to this
thought in view of his experiences
with the gullibility of the public.
From the various get rich quick
schemes which are constantly foisted
on the public, and the eagerness
which they display in exchanging
hard earned coin of the realm for
empty promises of great wealth, there
is perhaps some basis for this idea.
Nearly every day one reads in the
paper Of some smooth individual who
has utilized this desire for easy mon
ey to enrich himself at the expense
of someone else's toll and labor.
A demonstration of just how it is
done is portrayed in the Victor Sshert
Finger production, dollar Devils, y
which comes to the Peerless Theatre
next Friday evening. In this case,
however, the willy promoter inveigles
an entire community into giving him
