The wives of two travelling statesmen

for comfortable talk. Servants, the
weather and children were discussed,
and then one wife inquired: "And
what is your husbands line?" The
other wife considered before she re-

Mercerization is the treatment of the
cotton fabric with caustic soda, pot
ash, or some similar chemical sc as to
increase the color-absorbing qualities
Of the cotton. 1t also gives 1t a silky
gloss. The process derived it's name
from the inventor, John Mercer, an
Englishman who died in 1866.
Drowning used to be capital pun
ishment in Great Britain, as an alter
native to execution. 1t was regarded
as the milder punishment, and was US
ually administered to women prison
ers. The last official drowning in Eng
land occurred in 1865, and in Scotland
in 1856.
1t is curious fact, but scientists
seem agreed that four out Of five hail
storms occur in the Cay time and those
during the day are usually the most in
tense and damaging. This fact is true
irrespective of the sections Of the coun-
try in which such storms are studied.
We cannot render benefits to those

Whenever the women of the world
really make up their minds to put

Ruskin.
Bramante, the great italian archi-
tect, was fifty-iye years old when he
came to Rome from Milan in 1899. In
a short time he became the greatest
master of the Roman style evolved
from the ancient monuments.
The Buddhist religion forbids taking
of life. Members of the Mount Ever

birds of Tibet so tame that they gath

the villages.
The illusion that times that were

pervaded all ages.-Horace Greeley

you need health and strength But
more than these you need moral cour-

Life is troublesome, full of care, dis

ward as great as its worries.

public schools of Boston until 1879.
They were then permitted to go half

with his left hand, as If trying to

Would you like to do a job OF

Hugh started as If he had been
stung by wasp, and Sir Bryan
smiled.
"Not real work." he said reassur-
ingly. "But by mere luck last night

The vehicle is still emblazoned with

anarchists in Barking, London

body OF men who have become a
menace to their activities. He

without the law. He is inter-
rupted by the men he is describ-
ing (the Black Gang), who break
up the meeting, sentencing some

soon as they were a hundred yards
ahead they would put on an added
squirt and cross the road, often slip
ping and falling as their feet struck
tue hard roadbed When they had
reached the other side they would
stop and watch us go by, seemingly
perfectly contented and satisfied that
they had crossed the road. This would

Torrents of the Ages

When the ice began to melt In
earnest towards the close Of the gla-
cial period, floods occurred and
formed rivers that would dwarf many
of our largest ones today So great
were these torrents, says Nature Mag
azine, that enormous powders were
rolled along like pebbles, and thus
transported miles beyond their original
positions.

A few Of the larger camps may have
a movie show or a dance hall, but the
cheapness and the mental poison
Of the pictures are only exceeded by
the crude vulgarity Of the dance
halls.

AS the girls grow older the parents
wait anxiously for someone to marry
their daughter as it is a great hard
ship to support a family on the mea-
ger wages of coal miner.
1t is not an uncommon sight to
see old men having young girls

a miners wife is still very young
she has many babies to care for, miss

no jobs for the girls She must either
marry or leave home. Talk about

lives of the women and girls in the

MIGRATION OF
SOUTHERN NEGRO
IN FULL SWING
Large Numbers Enter
Northern Industries

NEW YORK, May THE annual
spring migration of southern Negroes
from the agricultural pursuits of the
south to the northern industrial CEN
ters is the largest in history this
year, records of employment offices
and other organizations indicate.
Each year, thousands Of Negro
workers leave the southern farms and
come to the larger cities to seek fac
tory work. The Negroes are now en-
tering Illinois. New York, Ohio, In
diana, Pennsylvania, and other north
eastern states.
Unemployment is already wide
spread in the large cities, and the Ne
groes are suffering keenly for lack
of work. The wages paid the Negro
workers are below those paid the
white workers for the same class Of
work.
In New York, most Of the Negroes
from the south are entering the tex
tile industries or are working as long
shoremen, or in domestic service.
There are $500 Negro longshore-
men in this city, ten thousand work
in the clothing trade of New York,
$4,000 are in domestic service or act
as laundresses.
The housing problem among the
Negroes In the northern cities, where
the Negro faces exhorbitant rent,
discrimination, and overcrowded con-
ditions, has grown acute.

PIRATE SYMBOL 4

WHITE GUARDISTS
Secret Session Shows
Fear of Truth
tspeeIaI q Ths paIIy worker


SOFIA, Bulgaria, May 7. The
farcical trial by court martial of the
persons supposed to be involved in
the Sveti Kral cathedral explosion
now going on is completely surround
ed by white guard troops and a
heavy veil OF secrecy, .ss..s
The session was secret at which
the names of the supposed co-conspir-
ators were divulged by the defendants
who have apparently been promised
escape from death for saying that the
explosion was brought about by Com
munists instead of Jugo-Slavians.
1t is learned however that some OF
the ones under arrest have definitely
alleged that money and arms came,
not from Moscow as alleged, but from
Vienna, Austria, and was supplied by
Jugo-Slavia thru Macedonian nation
alist revolutionaries. @@s
To avoid publicity of this damning
fact which upsets the world wide
lie Of Communist plots" the court
martial sessions are secret.
The character Of the trial. may
well be seen in the fact that the
white guard troops surrounding the
prisoners and in control of Sofia,
have SOULS and cross-bones painted
on their helmets, and in the fact that
civilian lawyers for the prisoners are
forbidden. Gen. Lazaroff, the COM
handing military of the white ter
ror has assigned two white guard Off
GERS as counsel for the defense"
