two very bow-legged men turned the
corner and walked toward the dispu-

would you describe those two fell

There's only one way to describe
them; Shakespeare himself couldn't

Important Agreement

The Webster-Ashburton treaty was
a treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, negotiated by Dan
lei Webster and Lord Alexander Bar
ing Ashburton in August 1912. BY
this treaty the frontier line between
the state of Maine and Canada was
definitely agreed to. By this treaty,
also, seven-twelfths of the disputed
ground and the British settlement of
Madagascar were given to the United
States and only five-twelfths of the
ground to Great Britain, but it secured
a better military frontier to Canada
and included heights commanding the
st. Lawrence, which the award of the
king of Holland, who had been chosen
arbiter, had assigned to the Americans.
By the eighth and ninth articles pro-
visions were made for putting an end
to the African slave trade, and the
tenth article provides for the mutual
extraditlon of suspected criminals.

Hasty Buying Not a
Fault of East Indians

American statesmen, trained to high
pressure and quick-result methods,
meet with puzzling experiences when
selling In India, where men and wom-
en- appear to be hunting always for
an excuse for delaying decision to
a future date, says writer in the
Ohio State Journal.
A New York trained motor sales
man learned that fact when he tried
to sell a handsome motor to man of
wealth in Delhi. There had been some
reductions made public in the price
and the salesman assured the man Of
wealth there could be no more reduc-
lions for at least a year, using that
statement for the purpose of closing
the sale. 1t did not bring that result,
the contemplative resident there mere
ly smiling and saying he planned a
vacation for year and would look
over the cars on his return.

Scottish City Goes
Far Back in History

The city of Glasgow, the metropolis
of Scotland, had its origin In the Sixth
century, when st. Kentigern founded
a small religious establishment ON the
banks Of tiny stream which flows
into the Clyde at a point where the
Scottish city now stands.
Christianity was then unknown in
that part of Scotland, and Kentigern
was the first to introduce the faith
among the rude people lnhabiting that
section. Beside the clearing In the
forest where he built his home he
hung on a tree a bell which was rung
to summon the savage inhabitants to
worship, and thus 1t came about that
a tree with bell appears on the arms
Of Glasgow.
The saint had trouble later on with
the king Of the Strathclyde Britons and
had to flee to Wales. Later he re-
turned, and after his death, at an ad-
vanced age, was buried at the spot
where now stands the great cathedral
bearing his name.

Absurdity of Man

Really, when 1t comes to glory there
is no limit to the absurdity of man.
A man will glory in a disease, vice,
the wealth of an ancestor when he is
himself poor or the poverty Of an an
cestor when he is himself rich the
street In which he lives; the color Of
his hair, Of his eyes; the possession
of something which he picked up in
the street-even the abuse Of some
one more notorious than himself. Men
will glory in anything, just as the
famine-struck will eat anything. Such
is the appetite for glory. And why
Is 1t there? l say again, to make men
achieve, to make them write bad verse,
build hideous houses, put up impossl.
BILE monuments, pass bad laws, and In
general destroy their kind.-Hiliare
Belloc in the New Statesman.

The Cow-Tree

In Colombia there Is tree known
as the cow-tree. 1t is treated much
as we treat COW. or, this vegetable
COW is bled; rather, its veins are cut
that is to say. the bark of the tree is
inclsed. Immediately the laciferous
vessels thus blsected yield an abun,
dant flow of white liquid which MS
regards its appearance, taste and nour-
ishlng properties hardly differs from
ordinary milk. Evaporated by gentle
heat, this vegetable milk yields de
lightful sort of marzpan with a slight
ly aromatic odor.-From the Wonder

When Prof. Samuel f. B. Morse, in
ventor Of the practical telegraph In
strument and code. first put them into
practice in 1916 many intelligent cltl-
zens were actually terrified Some of
the more skeptical spoke Of him as
being in league with the devil. The
first message sent over the line that
had been constructed for the practical
tryout was: "What hath God
wrought" Morse was a painter, and
not an electrician, but he combined
the principles and devices that cleo
trical scientists had produced up to
that time and in that way won credit
for the idea. He met with great OPP
position in getting the idea accepted.

Odd Entries Into Life

Many babies are born at sea, but II
Is doubtful If any entered such trou-
blous world as a German baby girl born
In mid-Atlantic during a recent ter
rible storm. Steerage babies often
provide an event for passengers to
talk about. A subscription list Is al
ways opened, with the result that the
baby receives substantial start-off
in life.
The record in strange birthday sur.
roundings is surely held by the baby
boy who was born 6,800 feet up in
the air. His mother was travelling by
airplane from Budapest to Naples
when the event took place.

NATION INJURED
BY EVERY WAGE
CUT SAYS GREEN

Washington, FEB. 12.-"It has not
yet ben thoroughly learned that every
industry that reduces wages hurts
every other industry and thus creates
an effect on human life much ike the
effect hat Is created on water bv the
casting Of a pebble" says VIM. Green.
president Of the A. r. Of l., writing
in American Federationist, current
issue.
'Ihe waves roll on In circle after
circle. If the wages Of carpenters are
erduced, then carpentesr must buy
fewer textiles. II the wages of textile
workers are reduced, then textile
workers have less money with which
to buy the commodities Of other work
ers. FIRST, they eat poorer food.
Then they make the old shoes last
longer. Tsen they burn less coal, or
no coal at all. So it goes. Every
center Of depression radiates depres-
sion IN cnneentrie rings.
Perhaps the tixtile mills will not
be alone in the effort to reduce wages.
/ Perhaps some other employers may
be as blind to their own welfare ami
as blind 20 the general welfare of all
industry and of the people generally
Perhaps it will be so. Il mas been SO
before.
CAT such times there is but one
course Of action for the workers.
They must resist to the end. They
must stand together to prevent the
destruction of standards that have
been built up. They must fight
against being driven backward.
To-day il Is the textile workers. To-
morrow it may be some one else.
Wsoeyer is attacked must resist. To
be driven in submission may be the
role of the dumb beast. Ii is not the
part of men.
Every group that resists does so
not for itself alone, but for all work
ers. Whenever a group FORCES ahead
II opens a pathway in which all 9th
els, sooner or later, follow. Wherever
a group submits to being driven back
il leaves a breach through which
others, sooner or later, MAJ be driven.
Elaborate schemes for the stop
page Of unemployment haven't
amounted to much. But the unions of
the workers, by their steadfast re-
sistance TO wage reductions, can and
must hold the line. There is no better,
surer method of cutting down unem-
ployment.
Wage reductions is the first step
toward complete idleness.
Let there be no backward step

WAGE CUTS ARE
REST ORED IN
ANTI-UNION FIELD

Indianapolis, Feb. l2.-All of the
large Independent anti-union coal and
coke companies in the Connellsville
PENN field that reduced wages last
year have restored these cuts, accord
ing to officials of the United Mine
Workers.
This action knocks the foundation
from under anti-union coal companies
of West Virginia and other fields who
demand wage reductions" says the
Mine Workers Journal.
The Connellsville field always was
VIGOROUSLY anti-union. Following the
nationwide miners strike of 1922,
unionism gained a foothold in that
section, but the workers Permitted
themselves to fall into the non-union
rut.
Except the H. C. Prick company
owned by the steel trust, the Con
nellsyille output completes with union
coal and with the non-union coal OF
West Virginia and Kentucky. These
anti-union concerns have insisted thta
wages must be reduced to sell coal
They have secured the aid of other
coal owners to attack the United Mine
Workers.
Nothing more is needed to show
that the clamor for wage reductions Is
mere bunk" says the United Mine
Workers Journal. "Those vociferous
anti-union coal companies of West
Virginia and Kentucky must now find
some other excuse for their wage
cutting, because the anti-union COM
NAMES of the Connellsville field have
shot their arpumpnt full of holes "
