The Uhp Of Superstitions

Bp II. lRDlNG KING

Vikings. For in the old Morse myth Of
Ragnarock, that last great battle, the
Norseman's Armageddon, the cock is
represented as growing Justify amid
the conflict, heralding the regeneration
Of the world and the reign Of the sons
Of Odin. So, also, we may see why he
crows in boat when it reaches the
place where sought-for drowned
body lies, for his growing at Ragnarock
awakened the dead god, Baldur.
The belief of Themistocles that the
growing Of a cock promised him VIC
tory atsSalamis, and the modern super
stition among sailors that the growing
Of cock on board ship portends good
luck, as well as the modern land super
stition that the growing of cock when
it is raining means that soon the sun
will be shining, comes from quite an
other source than the belief in the
birds shrill clarion as a harbinger of
victory amid the din Of the sea fight.
These latter superstitions are derived
from the fact that the cock was the
sacred bird Of Apollo, the sun-god, the
mighty protector from evil and master
of prophecy. They are relics of sun
worship

Ella groaned. Then he got out his
hat and stick and walked round to the
Darcy house. In the library he wait
ed for the notorious Montagu. The
corners of the room were piled with
books, and along the tops Of the rows
on the shelves they were huddled in
horizontally. Ella did not see how any
thing as Individual as his three Irvings
could ever come forth from that con-
fusion. So when Darcy appeared all
smiles and cordially and promised
that the borrowed volumes should be
sent back, Ella had his misgiyings.
q He was not surprised when two
weeks passed and nothing happened.
Again he called at the Darcy house.
Alone in the library, he made a hasty
and hopeless search down the shelves.

"Go away and let me alone" said
Old Winter, peeking out to see who was
disturbing his comfort. 70, it is you,
is it? Now, if you do not run back
home I'll throw my big white coat over
you and freeze YOU
But Spring was not afraid of him.
She always had just SO much fussing
to put up with from Cid Winter. so
after shaking and coaxing awhile and
still Old Winter remained stubborn she
ran off to get Mr.. Sunman's help, and
the next morning all the birds were
chattering and the crocuses were peep
ing out even through the snow.
The squirrels began to chatter and
brooks began to babble and gurgle
as they saw Old Winter feebly trying
to cover Spring with his white coat.
At last she jumped away and began
to laugh and all the springtime visi-
tors Joined her, until Old Winter
caught up his ragged white coat and
with his hands over his ears ran off
to his home vowing he would get even
with them for making such a racket
and disturbing his sleep.
But Spring knew that if she had
stayed away even another month Old
Winter would not have been willing to
leave even then, for he was grouchy
old fellow and loved to have his own
way. and once he settles in a place it
is hard work to get him to move.

do to leave his beloved Irvings behind.
After that Ella made periodic visits
to keep track Of the prisoners. Darcy
always managed to make it impossible
to rescue them without discourtesy.
Then, one day as Ella was leading up
to the point Of the books, Darcy in
terrupted casually: "Oh, by the way
I know you won't mind-I lent your
copies of Irving borrowed the other
day to Jones. No one appreciates
good books like Jones, you know, and
these Irvings of yours are good.

AT the club that night he found a
rueful group of friends discussing re-

agreed, Ella should borrow back

there would be a grand exchange to

A month later it was a disconsolate

THE regal name Victoria has fit

Latin vince, meaning to conquer.
Vincentius was an early masculine
name borne by two characters of the
Tenth Persecution. and later By one
of the great ecclesiastical authors at
Lerius in Provence. Vincente de St.
Paul added honors to the name, but
it was victor, the past participle,
which gave rise to Vittore in Italy.

this development Of capitalism in
these nations would imperil the con-
ditions of the trade unionists of all

shows that only one thing can save
the workers from this fate.
"Unless trade unionists of all coun-
tries forget their differences and unite
in forming sanitary Gordon of ade-
quate wages and working conditions
about these countries the workers in
the more advanced countries will soon
find themselves out of employment,
because production will be concen-
trated in the backward countries
where labor is exploited and material
is cheap. We must help unionize the
workers Of India, China, South Africa
and other lands where the machine is
penetrating"
In discussing the moves being made
for unity by the trade unionists of
Russia and England, he stated:
1--WE have joined with the 100000
Russian trade unionists Of the all-Rus-
sian central executive committee of
trade unions to promote the unity
movement. BY no means all of the
Russian trade unionists are Commun-
lists. We hope to take in the 6,O00,-
600 catholic trade unionists affiliated
with the clerical international and

workers who belong to the so-called

sire earnestly that the workers of

Wall St. Imperialism
Orders Deportation

Blame for the deportations and ar

Cuba is laid directly at the door of
Wall Street, by the Cuban section of
the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League, which points out that Presi-
dent Machodo is being regularly visit
ed by General e. R. Crowder, the
American ambassador.
The Cuban section Of the Allan
erica Anti-Imperialist League, esta-
blished only a few months ago, has
been very active, demanding categor-
ically that the United States govern
ment relinquish its "thinly-veiled pro-
tectorate" over Cuba, consent to the
abrogation of the Platt amendment
and Immediately withdraw all milit-
ary and naval forces from Gunate-
namo Bay.
Headquarters of the Cuban section
are at Gral. Suarez, 216-21S, Havana.

respondence has been set up, under

Kellogg Replies
to Steel Labor
Saklatvala Ban

WARREN, o., Nov. 6.-Trumbull
Lodge No. 73 of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron Steel and Tin
Workers, recently adopted resolution
against the exclusion of Saklatvala
from the country. This resolution was
forwarded to Senator Willis Of Ohio,
who evidently was unacquainted and
unconcerned about the non-admittance
Of Saklatvala.
Willis communicated with Secretary
Of State Kellogg, who did not confine
his reply to a statement to Willis, but
embodied also a reply to the steel
workers.
Kellogg uses the usual subterfuges
when writing Of the case of Saklatvala.
He refers to the espionage law of
May 1918, which was continued in
force by an act of congress in March,
1921. This law is stretched to cover
the case of Saklatvala and save the
United States government from being
overthrown by lone Communist
member of the British parliament
1t is most improbable that Kellogg's
reply will satisfy the steel workers
of Warren. There is one thing that
they want: to have Saklatvala come
to this country and tell the workers
about conditions in England and In
dia-and in Soviet Russia, for the
workers understand that he has also
been in that country.
Evidently the United States gov
ernment and. the capitalists of this
country do not want the workers to
hear their own, the workers side OF
the question. The capitalist papers
tell us enough about conditions in In
dia and in Great Britain. Does Kellogg
think that he can keep the workers
ignorant of these conditions by exclud.
ing Saklatvala? The exclusion of
Saklatvala is proof conclusive that
Kellogg and his colleagues dare not
face facts-and are trying to keep the
workers in the dark.

Australian Workers
Reused Against the
Deportation Menace

SYDNEY, Australia - (FP) - On
Sept. representatives of all labor
councils throughout Australia held a
conference at Sydney to decide what
action should be taken if the anti
Labor federal government deported
any trade union leaders because of
helping the British strikers in their
fight against the shipowners. The
deportation legislation was taken as
a direct challenge to the Labor move
ment. It was recommended that in
the attempted deportation of any
nnionist no worker should in any way
assist. The sea-transport workers
were called upon to give loyal assist
ance.
For the repeal of the legislation the
aid Of the courts is to be invoked
while deportation will be made a
burning issue in the November federal
elections.
Regarding the British seamen's
strike, the conference recommended
that "all unions be called upon to pay
a levy of 1A% per week of the earn
ings of the workers.

WIN STRIKE WITH HELP

Especial to The Daily worker

Especial to The Daily Worker
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The strike Of
the Mareoni wireless operators and
receiving clerks in London, Liver
pool and Manchester ended today
with the reinstatement of the nine
operators who had been dismissed
for reasons of economy. The strike
crippled transcontinental and trans
Atlantic wireless communication.
The government wireless service
was not affected by the waIkout,
which involved about 150 men.
When several messages marked
"via Marcon' were handed into
the postoffee to be dispatched as
kilograms, the postofflce staff pro-
tested against handling the messag-
es, taking the ground that Il would
be equivalent to acting as strike
breakers. Thereupon official instruc-
tIons we're given by the postofflce
authorities that such messages
should not be accepted for trans
mission during the strike.
