1t was in 1920 when Clara shot
and killed Jake Hamon. His mil

cal Importance and she was soon to
be discarded, so she thought.
She fled to Mexico after her
crime and for weeks kept herself
successfully hidden away from
authorities in the adobe huts of
friendly Mexicans.
Pursued by police and detectives
she finally decided to give herself
up and she returned to Oklahoma
where she faced trial on a first de-
gree murder charge.
Acquitted, she came to California
to forget and be forgotten. She had
drunk deeply from the bitter cup of
experience. She offered her life's
story to the movies and under the
direction of John German the pic
ture history of her life was filmed
But this was not to be as Will
Hays, Gear of the cinema" ruled
that the picture should never be
shown the public.
Shortly afterwards Clara became
the wife of German.

Porcelain Has Long
Been knoUu to World

Porcelain factories and stores are
mentioned in Arabia In writing of the
period Of 800 A. ID. The Arabian
geographer, Mohammed- ell Efridi, who
lived in Sicily at the court of Roger
Ii, published, about 1854, a geographic
work in which he told Of the town of
Djankoy, where Chinese glass was
made. He added that there was mo
finer trade than that of a potmaker or
a pot designer" according to the De
troit News. Toward the middle Of
the Fourteenth century, Ibn Batuta,
the Arabian traveller, described Chi
nese ceramic as the most beautiful in
the world. The Chinese manufactured
dishes and porcelain ware for a very
long time.
In the history Of the great Chinese
empire, one reads that only certain
towns and villages went in for porce-
lain industry. The finest chinaware
was made In the province of Saxij.
1t was so beautiful and so much like
the finest crystal that Ii never was
exported, but was exclusively re
served for the use of the Chimes EN-
perors.

eenth centuries, formed a distinct
caste. They annually elected a chief,

fairs. In 1647, headed by Masaniello,

Rutfo, and led by Michele SfoZa,
they successfully resisted the attacks

Weather Experts to
Make Study of Ocean

The influence which the ocean has
upon the weather Is very great.
"The study of the waters of the
oceans" declares Lieutenant Com
mander George Z. Brandt of the
United States navy, will yield results
worth millions of dollars to the agri-
culture and industry of the nation,
because from this study we can get
better understanding of the wealth
er, and will probably be able to pre-
dict the weather year in advance.
especially the periods of rainfall and
drouth and their DURATION Com
mander Brandt says that the waters
of the ocean are a great reservoir for
storing and distributing the heat
which comes from solar radiation
During each hour of sunshine more
heat is being added to this great reser-
voir. This heat in turn is given off
again by the ocean. influencing very
materially the weather over land and
sea. Observations made by the
Smithsonian institution show that the
radiation of the sun varies consider
ably from time to time II Is this
variation, says Commander Brandt.
which makes the study of weather So
complicated. "Since the waters Of
the ocean act as an intermediate
reservoir he says. the full effect Of

until some years after the change
takes place.

FORTY-EIGHT HOUR
LAW
For Women and Children
Opposed By Textile
Mill Owners

Worcester, ass-Textile manu-
facturers are behind legislative pro-
posals that would repeal the Massa-
chusetts 48-hour law for women and
children, declared Charles j. Hodsdon,
legislative agent of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in an address to the
Central Labor Union
Under the present law, women and
children are not permitted to labor
in factories after o'clock in the eve
ming. If the proposed legislation is
adopted labor's efforts to protect
women and children will be nullified.
The attack on this law, said Mr..
Hodsdon, was prompted by the recent
referendum on the federal child labor
amendment, (which was defeated
through trickery, deception, and ma
licious propaganda"
The attempted repeal of the wom-
ems law, when most of the cotton
mills in Massachusetts are running
part time, with no immediate or fu-
ture prospects for anything like nor
NAL conditions, 'shows that the pro-
ponents are prompted by other than
honest motives" said Mr.. Hodsdon.
The trade unionist scored the un-
fair tactics of the child labor amend
ment foes. 1--WE are not through with
this question, and our enemies will
hear from u.s." he said.

DRESS SHOPS
All Put on Same Basis In
Agreement With Garment
Workers Union

New York.-In their campaign
against non-union, low-standard dress
shops in this city, the International
Garment Workers Union has signed
an unusual contract with the Dress
Jobbers Association.
Record wages have been secured
and the jobbers agree that they will
deal only with union manufacturers.
Where jobber violates this clause
he will be fined by the association
in an amount that in no event shall
be less than $500 If the jobber per-
sists in his non-union practice, the
union is privileged to strike. No mem
ber of the association can assist the
struck shop without being placed in
the same position.
The union, together with repre-
sentative of the association, will have
the right to examine the books and
records of every member of the asso-
citation once month in order to ascer-
tain if the agreement is complied
with.
The association also pledges itself
to examine the books of any member
on statement by the union that it has
reason to believe a member of the
association is employing non-union-
lists If any jobber refuses to comply
with this clause, he automatically
forfeits all rights and privileges un-
der the agreement.
1t is predicted that this agreement
will standardize working conditions
and end cut-throat competition that
the legitimate jobbers agree is ruin
ing the industry.
