Henry Ford looking like west Madi-
son street snake oil peddler.
MO doubt the saloon league would
~ substitute such religion, as Con-
stantine financed the christian church
after he had chopped off the heads Of
his relatives and needed some organic
alton to keep him in good standing.
1t looks as if the new bible is written
by a gang of bigots who had particu-
lar grudge against the followers Of
Bacchus. st. Paul for instance, drop

longer a drinker of wateF,p wrote Paul,
"but use a little wine for thy stom-
ach's sake, and thine often infirmi-
ties"
WHAT effect would a judges frown
w have on the inebriate who ap-
peared before the august court on a
charge Of violating his country's laws
if the defendant were fortified with
the knowledge that the founders of
christianity held the curative qualities
of wine for stomach trouble in higher
regard than some people Of modern
times hold Fleishmann's yeast? Ere
quenters of blind pigs" would serve
their thirty days with a look of calm
resignation such as adorned the coun-
tenances of early christians when
about to be thrown to the lions.
IITE must give the bible revisors
w credit for some political sagacity.
They have determined to-save the re-
putations of their leaders. 1t was COM
mon gossip in early day that at times,
old man Noah swallowed more wine
than discretion would ordain. He was
the original topper. But that was his
sacrifice to experimenting with the
grape juice. Genesis tells us that
Noah became a husbandman and
planted a vineyard, and he drank Of
the wine and was drunken" In order
to protect Noah's reputation, the anti
saloon league deleted that little para
graph and the captain of the ark is
fully qualified for membership in the
ku klux khan.
MO doubt the bible will be revised
~ again, when the saloon league
gains control of the protestant sects
But who pays any attention to the
bible? Those who do will find. one to
their liking. The catholic church has
bible that will satisfy the most ex-
acting devotees of Bacchus. And it is
not likely that the talmud will delete
it's yarns about the drinking bouts of
the early leaders of the, human race.
If such an attempt is made the sacra-
mental wine stores must be reckoned
with.

DENOUNCE WHITE
TERROR AT RED
DEMONSTRATION
Workers Pledge Loyalty
to Communist Cause

The militant workers Of Chicago,
gathered IN the Ashland Auditorium
Sunday afternoon, celebrated the 54th
anniversary of the Paris Commune
Of 1871, cheered speakers who de-
nounced the Polish white terror which
has condemned Stanislav Lanzutsky,
Communist deputy, to death, and
pledged their loyalty to the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Commun-
list International.
A resolution was passed, condemn
ing the activities of the menshevik
agent, Raphael Abramovich demand
ing the complete recognition of Soviet
Russia by the United States, protest.
ing against the intended execution Of
Lanzutsky, and demanding the liberia.
tion of all class war prisoners in the
capitalist jails.
Earl R. Browder. acting secretary
Of the Workers CCommunist) Party,
Robert Minor, one of the Michigan
defendants and Lovett Fort-Whiteman
spoke.
Negro Leader Speaks.
Lovett Fort-Whiteman, the Com
munist Negro leader just returned
from Soviet Russia, described to the
large audience the different kinds of
prisoners in Soviet Russia.
There are 1900 counter revolution
lists who are prisoners in Soviet Rus
sia," said Fort-Whiteman. There is
no other way to make the workers
and peasants revolution secure than
by curbing the activities of these
counter revolutionists."
Minor Condemns Abramovieh.
Robert Minor, Communist cartoon
list, lecturer and writer, declared that
while we mourn for the revolutionists
who died in the Paris Commune, we
can rejoice in the Russian revolution
and our working class Soviet govern
ment.
5rowder on Communist International.
When we think of saving the life
of Comrade Lanzutsky," said Earl R.
Browder, acting secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party, when
we think of the campaign for the
recognition of Soviet Russia by the
United States, and when we think of
celebrating the Paris Commune we
also think of the Communist Interna-
tional and its American section, the
Workers (Communist) Party. None
of the problems of the working class
can be solved without the leadership
of the Communist International"
The Paris Commune pageant was
featured by the dancing Of Emma
Blackschmidt, Hilda Reed and Elsa
Neuman and a recitation by Rose
Lurye.
F. George Laubert Lettish baritone,
sang a series of songs, the Jugo-Slav
tamburitza band, the South Slav Choir
us, Finnish and Bohemian gymnasts,
and the Russian dancers, Misses Lut-
kus and Muzuka all gave excellent
performances.
One Of the most popular pieces on
the entire program was the Freiheit
Mandolin Orchestra and the Freiheit
Chorus, which sang and played to-
gether for the first time on an English
stage.
A large group of Lithuanian chill
dren opened the program with a red
army drill.
The unity demonstration was held
under the auspices of the Information
al Workers Aid, and the receipts went
toward helping the Irish famine suf-
ferers, the class war prisoners in
European jails, and the fight Of the
Labor Defense Council against the
persecution of Communists in Michi-
gan.

Ants With Pink Parasols

Among the recent acquisitions at
the London Geological gardens says a
newspaper dispatch, Is a nest Of UNI
brella ants that have never been seen
before in the gardens. They have had
a busy time, because during the jour
ney the queens apartments became
greatly disarranged, but the COM
munity soon put them to right again.
In their native home in Trinidad
the ants are always to be found in the
neighborhood of rose trees. They cut
off parts of the petals of the roses
and carry them to their nests, hold
ing them aver their heads like para
soils. On reaching home they masti-
cate the petals thoroughly and pile
up the resulting mixture in heaps in
side the nest. On the beds thus pre-
pared grows special fungus of which
the ants are very fond.-Youth's

Easy to DISCOVER the
Moral in This Story

1t was indeed lucky day when
Harry Raymond of Los Angeles en-
barked for San Francisco. The steam
er was crowded with passengers and
there were not enough Staterooms to
60 round. Harry noticed an old gen
tieman who had no place to sleep, and
taking pity oa his age, offered to share
his Stateroom with him.
The old man gladly accepted and
the two occupied the room together.
Samuel Harrison, Raymond's guest,
proved to be a brother of Raymonfs
mother Then Raymond learned that
another uncle, Henry Harrison, had
died, leaving a fortune OF about $780,
600 to Raymond's mother. But Ray

TAe name 'Hyperboreans' was Civ
en- by the ancients to an Imaginary
people, fayorites Of Apollo, who lived
beyond B0reas, or the North Wind.
Virgil placed them under the North
pole. This favored race dwelt in a
terrestrial paradise under cloudless
sky, and enjoyed fruitful land, un-
ending peace. and perpetual youth and
health. The HyperbOreans were said
TO live Ia an atmosphere composed en-
tiray OF feathers Herodotus and Pliny
beth refer to this fiction, but say 1t
was suggested by the amount of snow
that fell In those northern regions.
The word "Hyperboreans" has been
used by anthropologists to designate
certain peoples that dwell In the north
east Of Asia and the northwest of
America, and that cannot be classified
either as Mongolians or as North
American Indians.-Exchange.

Hardness Great Evil
in Modern Business

Executives of our large business or
CARNATIONS are spending much time
and trying all manner OF experiments
In an effort to induce employees TO be
punctual.
A wide investigation and search
into ''the history of being late" shows
that business hardness" has been
creeping upon workers in the United
States for many years, and that the
problem has assumed large proportions
In its effect on company morale, says
Thrift Magazine.
Fundamentally, lateness, il habitual
and without good cause, is an act OF
dishonesty on the part Of the EN-
ployee with respect to his relations
with his employer.
A few years ago many employers
tried the plan of imposing a fine for
hardness, but this did not work salts
factorily, and is no longer resorted to
by progressive business organizations.
A new plan has been tried by num-
Der of business concerns and appar-
emily it is working out better than
anything previously attempted. In
brief, it puts bonus on punctuality
and at the same time establishes an
honor roll in the organization.

The Judges Jest

Two young lawyers, both trying to
make regulations as orators, happened
to be pitted against each other in
argument. Both spoke at great length,
and in closing the second speaker re-
marked that he was sorry to find his
colleague on the wrong side, for there
was every reason why they should
agree. 1--WE were brought up together.
we studied together, and we were born
on the same day."
"Did l understand you TO say that

"Yes," came the prompt reply.

The first typewriter of which there
is any record was patented in England
in d714. In 1920 the first American
typewriter, called typographer, was
patented by w. A. Burt. In 1874 and
1S46 typewriting machines were In
vented in England which, like many
of the early machines, were designed
primarily for the use of the blind and
so produced embossed characters.
About 1867 Charles Latham SholeS be-
gan to experiment on the construction
Of a typewriter, and from this the
Remington had its origin. The first
crude model was completed in 1868.

Otherwise Engaged

Rossetti, who painted the now famous
reredos at LANDAU cathedral, took so
long over them that the dean and
chapter became weary of waiting, es-
pecially as replies to letters sent Ro-
setti concerning them were not forth
coming So one day the bishop OF
LANDAU, being In London, called at
Rossettis rooms In Blackfriars to ask
to see them. and thus discover the rea-
son of their non-arrlval and of the
painters silence. But the maid who
opened the door there at once in
formed him that Rossetti was absent
and on hearing what the bishop had
come about, she exclaimed: "Oh, lor,
sir Mr.. Rossetti don't paint now--he's
married! !"

Improper Feeding Causes
Western SheeDmen Loss

Feeding troubles are at the bot
tom of three fourths of the troubles
affecting range sheep, says the
United States department of agri-
culture. Many sheepmen have failed
to recognize the real cause of the
ailments of their flocks and have
resorted to medicinal remedies and
vaccination to cure and prevent
sickness which in many cases was
due to digestive troubles brought
about by improper feeding condi-
tionS.
Progressive sheepmen, however,
are recognizing the Importance of
feeding methods. They make the
change gradually from range feed
ing to lot feeding, to give the sheep
time to become accustomed to new
feeds. Sheep are more sensitive to
feed changes than other classes OF
live stock, A novel means adopted
by one sheep feeder was to place
bales of hay in the feed lot for
lambs just brought in from the
range. The lambs were able only
to nibble at the hay and satisfied
their appetite so gradually that no
