THE old order changeth, yielding
place to new" wrote Tcnyson. And
his words express universal law in
human affairs.
I suppose the parent generation
since the cave-man era, has insisted,
Our old tried ways are best. Ihese
new ideas are scandalous:
Meantime, radical youth enthusiast
tically adopts the new ideas, which
in time become the safe, tried Gus
toms of another generation. However,
in past centuries youthful radical the
| cries had to remain mere theories BE-
cause the parents word was law IN
the home.
But today youth has free speech
and pretty much free action. The re-
suit is in many households endless bat
ties of words between parents and chill
dren.
In one case lately a father was ar.
rested and brought into court be-
cause of the loud and emphatic Ian
guage he used in denouncing daugh-
ter's flappcrish ways.
Look at her, he exclaimed to the
Judge. Then addressing his 1I-ycar.
old daughter: Take off your hat and
show the judge what you've done to
your hair"
His daughter obedicntly removed
her hat. disclosing a not unusual curly
bobbed head.
1T takes her hours every day to
curl it that way" he shouted. And
look at her skirts-up to her knees.
"She has dozens of boy friends and
| insists on staying out nights with
them until after midnight. I'm
ashamed to call her my daughter"
You shudder to think of the mental
atmosphere of that home, the constant
wnngling and obstinate stubbornness
| on both sides. Just a little friendly
sympathy with the others point OF
view and willingness to compromise on
the part of parents and daughter
would heal wounds and KEEP everybody
content and happy.
Nor is domestic unrest always due
to flapper daughters.

COOLIDGE READY
TO BREAK HARD
COAL STRIKE
Calls Davis to Help the
BarOnS Smash Union

sWAMPscoTT, Mass, July 10. =
All Of the power Of the federal gov
eminent is to be concentrated in an
effort to prevent a strike in the an
thracite coal fields.
President Coolidge took the first
step in his campaign for the oper-
ators when he summoned SECRETARY
of Labor Davis to his summer home
here for conference over the week
end.
The mine union officials demand a
wage increase of only 10 per cent,
whereas the rank and file coal miners
declare the increase should be 20 per
cent. They point out that the oper-
ators will still make huge profits.
Secretary Davis is expected to ar
rive at White Court tomorrow.
Coolidge has been following closely
the operator-miner negotiations over
new wage scale at Atlantic City and
he is said to be DESTROYS of bringing
all possible federal pressure to bear
to force the miners to accept the
operators terms and prevent another
hard coal strike.

CHANGHAI is Chinese territory, but

under the unequal treaties.
In Japanese cotton mill in Shang-
hal recently, a Japanese employer
killed a Chinese worker, in circum-
stances which moved the Shanghai
students to make public protest on

They were entirely unarmed, and
their purpose was to call the worlds

At a public trial which followed.
the British Police Inspector Everson
stated that he did not try to dispense
the students by shooting at their

Since then students and workers
have been killed in Shanghai, Han

the prayer in silence. Their OBJ
lection, however, was automat-
ically entered in the record.
Refuses To Attack Bible
barrow first sought to have the
scientists hear the court before max
ing any decision. His purpose was to
have the scientific testimony broad
cast to the world, even tho it never
reaches the ears of the twelve men
who must sit in Judgement on Scopes.
Darrow for the first time since the
trial began, made the direct admission
that the defense will endeavor to re-
concile evolution and the bible. barrow
took the viewpoint of the "modernist"
preachers who endeavor to interpret
the bible "symbolically," and thus hold
their jobs.
Accepts Fairy Tales "symbolieaIIy"

and real students on the witness

theory of evolution is not in conflict
with the divine origin of man. While
there is not a soul on earth who be-
lieves the whole bible literally, we will
not attack it, but merely prove that
the bible and science can be recon
ciled''
Stewart renewed his objection to the
testimony and moved that all further
scientific evidence be excluded from
the trial. He charged the scientific
witnesses knew nothing about the
question of Scopes teaching in the
public schools of Dayton and that any
other testimony was "irrevelant and

secretary of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor, in the official organ Of
the federation, declared yesterday
that orientaIs and particularly Chi
nese, have been given easy access to
the United States thru employment
on a lake steamer.
Mr. Olander asserted that for the
first time in the history of shipping
on the great lakes the South Ameri-
can began her present season with
Asiatics among her crew.
Olander is an official of the MORT
bund International Seamen's Union,
which has lost most of it's members
by dwelling overmuch on patriotism
and ignoring wages and conditions.
His well known standing as one of
the leading labor takers of Illinois, as
well as his position in the l. S. u, is
reported as probably having moved
him to play the stool pigeon on Chi
nese workers for fear that these
workers would want - real union that
fights for working class interests.
But informing capitalist govern
ments against workers so that they
may be prosecuted is rather strong
stuff, even for labor faker, and
Olander is not expected to gain great
popularity for such stool pigeon work
among the honest members of or.
