AUTHOR H0N0RED BY NATIVES
Samoans Ordered Not to Fire Gun
Within Earshot Of Robert Louis
Stevenson's Grave. #f

James Chalmers, English Papuan
missionary, who was killed and eaten
by cannibals at Goaribari, met Robert
Louis Stevenson on a Pacific steam
boat when the novelist was fleeing to
Samoa to escape death from tuberculo-
sis. After meeting Chalmers, Steven
son was always an out-and-out defend
er Of foreign missions. Perhaps that
masterpiece Of philippines that Steven
son wrote to smash the traducers OF
Father Damien was inspired by his
chance meeting with James Chalmers,'
writes Arthur Porritt, in 'The Best !
Remember"
All the time he was in Samoa Ste
venson was the friend of the mission
aries, and he took their view as to the
proper treatment Of the natives.
Now that he is dead the Samoan ma
lives respect Stevenson's memory by a
beautiful regulation. by order Of the
chiefs no native must discharge gun
within earshot of yailima," says Mr..
Porritt, "lest the birds that sing around
poor R. L. SIS lonely grave might be
frightened and suspend their requiem"

The Seven sIeepers.

Seven noble youths of Ephesus, who,
according to an early Christian legend
first related by Gregory Of Tours, fed
from the city, during persecution
under the Emperor Decius (249-251 A.
d., and took refuge In cave on
Mount Celi0n. There they were dis
covered by their pursuers, who walled
up the entrance In order to starve
them to death; but, owing to q re-
markable interposition in their behalf
they were caused to fall into deep
sleep, and were thus miraculously pre-
served for nearly two hundred years.
They died soon after awakening, and
their bodies were transferred to Mar
settles, France, In q stone sarcophagus,
which is still shown to visitors to the
church Of st. Victor, In that city. Ac-
cording to Gregory, the names Of the
"seven sleepers" were Constantine,
Dionysius, John. Maximian, Malchus,
Martinian or Msrcian, and Serapion.
A festival in their honor is celebrated
in the Roman Catholic church July
"a. The legend Of the seven sleep
ers" Is widely current in the East. It
is Of Syrian origin, and occurs in the
Koran.

BEFORE SHE COULD STOP HIM
Brides Husband Thouohtlessly Re-

Her Mother-in-LaW.

I had been married only week, and
my husband was proud Of my good
housekeeping. AS he came home from
his work tired at night, l decided not
to let him help me with the dishes, and
yet wanted to remain fresh and
dainty for him in the evening. I solved
the problem in this way.
The stove In our kitchen contained
two ovens-one large, and, my husband
thought, useless. However, l was Of
q different mind regarding 1t, for after
had washed the pots, pans, silver,
and glassware, rinsed the remaining
dishes and surreptiti0usly showed them
into the large oven-which we never
used. The next morning / washed
them with the breakfast dishes, and
friend husband was none the wiser.
My husbands mother was the last
word in housewifely neatness, and
had often heard George laud her sys-
ten in the kitchen. One evening she
came bag and baggage to pay us an
unexpected visit. The next morning
at breakfast, my husband directed her
attention to our dainty kitchen-and
then before / could stop him opened
the large oven door to exhibit its spa

New Kind Of Plow.

Despite the development Of most
farm machinery, the pillow has changed
little In more than 5000 years. In
primitive times pl0ws were drawn by
man power or oxen, today they are
efficiently operated by tractor. But
the actual shape Of the plow and the
method Of turning the burrows in the
soil is much the same as in primitive
times.
A unique farming tool has been in
vented in France which attacks the
problem In new way. The pillow is

STRIKING SHOPMEN
 FORM ALLIANCE ON
 FIVE WESTERN LINES
Issue Statement on Rock Island Con ditions as to Equipment and
 Earnings in 1923.

Chicago, Feb. I6.-The six feder- ated shop crafts on five western rail- roads where the strike continues have formed an alliance for a more vigor- ous prosecution of their fight under a joint committee. These .hard-boil- ed' roads are the Chicago, Rock 1s- land & Pacific, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Wabash, Missouri Pacific, and the St. Louis & San Francisco.
 Progress of this campaign will be announced from time to time in order that the railroad workers throughout the country may be kept informed.
 H. A. Wfittemore, chairman of the executive board of Rock Island Sys- tenn Federation No. 6, in this con- nection, has issued the following statement:
 Some persons unfriendly to the strikers on the Rock Island have started rumors that the strike would be called off For the information of the country as whole, let us state that we have too good strike on this road to ever think of calling it off. Our men have made 1t clear that the once Great Rock Island will re- main on the unfair list until a reas- enable settlement can be made. "For the fiscal year ending June 3o 1923, the Rock Island was the third highest road in the country in the number of locomotives ordered out oi service by the federal inspectors, with total of 367. This road also had the second highest number of defective Locomotives, with total of 1923, and the second highest number of defects but in number of engines owned the Rock Island is twelfth.
 l These figures should convince any unbiased person that the strikers art making progress.
 Rock Island officials told stock. holders at the beginning of 1925 tha they would be able to save vas amounts of money due to their new labor policy. Financial figures show that the Rock Island earned fou cents more on 75o,ooo shares of com mon stock in 1923 than they did il 1922, which is $3o,ooo or total O S75o,ooo for 1923. The Baltimore 8 Ohio Railroad, which settled with tn, bona fde labor organizations, had balance of $Io,7oo,ooo which could b. applied to common stock We won der if the Rock Island really believes that it's unfair labor policy Is a pay ing proposition"

OIL TRUST JACKS" UP GASOLINE PRICE
 TO NEW HIGH POINT
Surplus of Crude Oil Is Greatest in History and Production 30
 Per Cent. Greater

In face of the greatest surplus of crude oil in the history of the indus try the big oil interests have packed up the price of gasoline to the high. est point touched in nearly year Ir the past few months the advance has been six cents gallon, or an in- crease of nearly 30 per cent. over the retail price of last November.
 Following the exposure of price manipulation made by Senator La Follette's investigation last year. gasoline prices began tumbling, the. retail cost early last fall being the lowest since 1918.
 Just as soon as consumption began to decrease however, the retail price started upward, three-cent increase of the past week putting gasoline back to the, figure that was quoted when Senator La Toilette started his probe.
 The Geological Survey of the De- partment of the Interior states that petroleum production last year was 30 per cent. larger than during the preceding year and 4o,ooo,ooo barrels greater than the entire world pro duced in 1920
 There is now in storage more than 333,ooo,ooo barrels; sufficient to meet consumption demands for I63 days
 Crude old prices are said to be low CT than at any time since the defa- tion period of 1921, having dropped from an average price of $I.8o in March last to ST at the end of De cember
 The latest report of the Geological Survey declares that manufacturers have not yet started drawing upon surplus stocks, thus indicating that supply and demand had nothing what ever to do with recent sensational advances of the cost of gasoline
 One senator facetiously explained the advance by saying that Doheny, Sinclair and other oil magnates were reimbursing themselves for expenses in connection with the Teapot Dome scandal

Washington, Feb. I6.-The execu- tives of the standard railroad labor organizations, meeting in Washington last week, filed with President Cool idge, through Warren s. Stone, chair man, and J. J. Dermody, secretary, a formal protest against the appoint ment of George B. Christian as a member of the Federal Trade Com mission.
 A protest, in substantially the same language, was also presented to Sen ator Ellison D. Smith, chairman of the Senate committee on interstate commerce.
 The protest to President Coolidge reads, in part, as follows:
 The Federal Trade Commissoin exercises functions of the very great est importance to the people of the United States and has come to be re- garded as an institution which serves the public ,and, so far as its limited authority permits, serves as re- straint upon prohteering and the un- fair practices of corporate wealth. It is a semi-judicial body and its mem bers should be men of high character and broad public experience.
 We regret to find 1t necessary to

RAILROAD LABOR ORGANIZATIONS TELL

state, most respectfully, that in our judgment MT George B. Christian, whose name has been sent to the Sen ate, does not possess the qualifications demanded in a member of the Fed eral Trade Commission.
 'In this connection, we believe 1t also proper to state our views that this vacancy upon the Federal Trade Commission should be properly filled by man who is acceptable to and in a broad sense representative of the great agricultural interests of the na- ton. There are now before the Fed eral Trade Commission a large num- Der of matters Of vital concern to American farmers, and it would seem wise that in the consideration of these matters at least one member of the commission should be intimately acquainted with the situation that now exists in the agricultural districts.
 "We trust, therefore, that upon ma ture consideration you may find it wise to withdraw the name of MT. Christian and appoint instead man of high character and broad experi- ence, who will be acceptable to the agricultural interests of the nation"
