new PLAN
To Secure World Labor
Unity BrOached By Brit
ish LabOrite

London.-Internatio labor or
ganization by continents is recon-
mended as an new plan for world
unity in an article in the Labor Mag
azine by C. T. Cramp, industrial gen
eral secretary to the National Union
of Railwaymen and fraternal dele
gate to the British Trade Union Con-
gress to the 1924 convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
Cramp maintains that in all cases
where there is international competi-
tion for markets, the workers in the
competing countries must not be
allowed to backlog each other by ac
cepting lower standards of living. To
accomplish this an effective interna-
tional organization is necessary. The
International Federation of Trade
Unions aims to be world wide or
ganization, but it's membership is
largely European. Hence there is a
real necessity for an organization that
will meet the difficulty.
i suggest that the British move
ment should consider the possibility
of international organization by con-
tinents," says Cramp, in outlining his
plan. "If Europe, America, Asia, Aus
tralasia, and Africa would each create

movement in other continents, / be-

Che Uhu
Of
Superstitions
Bu h. lRDlNG KING
A BURNED HOUSE

THERE is undoubtedly relic OF
! fire-worship in a superstition found
in some sections Of the country
that 1t is bad luck to build house
on the site of one destroyed by fire.
The new house is likely to be de-
stroyed in the same manner. The
main idea would appear to be that the
ire which destroyed the first house
had rendered sacred the spot where
1t was burned and, therefore, taboo
for ordinary purposes. Another house
built on the spot would be like plac-
Ing an offering upon an altar for the
fire to consume.
This is one of the very few popular
superstitions which 1t Is safe to re-
gard as a survival Of tire-worship,
which was an Eastern cult, never OBJ
tanning any strong hold upon Western
minds. The great majority of super
stitions into which the element Of fire
enters are regarded by the best au
thorities as being derived from sun
worship-the fire being an initiative
sun-or from the ancient custom Of
human sacrifice. Our barbarian an
cestors, 1t is true, had their fire festi-
walls, but Professor Frazer says Of
them, 'sThe presumption Is that the
essential features of the primitive
fire festivals was the burning Of q
man who represented the tree esprit"
A study Of historic superstitions
shows, however, that to certain lim-
tied extent pure fire-worship existed
In early times even In western Europe.

IMMIGRATION CURB
Approved By Coolidge And
He Advises It's COntinu-
uance

Washington - President Coolidge
stressed the necessity of continued
immigration restriction in his ad-
dress to the annual convention of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tion
SIN the last few years we have en-
tered on new policy toward immi-
grafton" the President said. 'sIt is
still rather experimental, but with
every appearance of being likely to
secure permanent acceptance.
Restriction of immigration is moth
ing less than revolutionary charge
from the older days when we boasted
that this country offered refuge and
opportunity, liberty and security, to
all who desired them.
'The policy of restriction seemed
necessary, in view of the certainty
that unprecedented numbers would
flow to US from Europe following the
war; more than we could be sure of
assimilating, more than the European
countries could well spare.
Had there been no limitations, the
number of newcomers would probably
have been several million greater.
eff we had been called upon to re-
ceive and place such number, it may
well be doubted whether they would
have found their condition here much
better than it was in Europe.
Certainly our problem Of helping
adjust them to the new conditions
and the hard competition Of such
situation, would have been far more
difficult"

THE KINGS FAvORITE

SOMETIMES the things we think
would make us happy we find,
when we get them, give US more dis
comfort than happiness. and that was
the way 1t was with Otto.
Otto was poor peasant boy who
worked for small pay all day in the
fields, and one day when he was rest
Ing at noon under a tree he stretched
himself and said: ut must be fine
thing to live In palace"
Otto's wish was scarcely off his lips
when cloud of dust appeared down
the road, and the next minute horse
came dashing along with the rider
hanging helpless from the saddle.
Otto jumped to his feet and ran
down the road and as the horse dashed
by him, he caught at the bride and
brought him to Standstill.
My good man, you have saved my
life. You shall be we'll rewarded,

Glasses for Color Blind

Victims of color blindness will hail
the new development in optical science
that enables correction of color blind
ness with glasses. This defect Is due
to the eye not differentiating different
colors with the varying wave lengths
of light. 1t Is now proposed to ad-
Just the eyes with the use Of colored
glasses. This development Is still In
its early stage.

Gilded Goggles Good

Goggles Of gllded glass, consisting
of yellow glass with coating Of gold,
recently have been invented by DR.. A.
ii. Pfund, associate professor Of phys
les at Johns Hopkins university, to
protect the eyes Of workmen who are
exposed to the intense glare and heat
from furnaces. The gold-coated glass
is said to eliminate the heat and glare
from light, while permitting sufficient
for clear vision. The gold passes the
light waves to the eyes, but casts off
the heat waves and ultraviolet waves.

all he had heard the attendant tell the
king was his own treacherous plan.
Otto heard all the plans the attend
ant made with the rival King.
He waited until the false servant
was well inside the secret passage
and then he sprang upon him and
bound him with his girdle and, push
ing him well out of the path, Otto
went back to the end Of the passage

were waiting.
Because all the servants of the King
were dressed alike and it was dark,
the rival King thought Otto was the

JURY CELEBRATING
Bethel Arson Case At Last Ends And Verdict Rests With Those Who Have Heard Evidence.

Dickenson warned the jury in the case of Charles Frost, charged with arson. not to permit it's attention to be drawn from the cause to the advocate" when he made his formal charge this morning
 The jury was asked by the court to consider as dispassionately as at times, counsel had treated passion ately" all phases of the sensational trial. He said sentiment was not to enter into their deliberation for one side or the other.
 In his argument the states attor- ney had laid stress upon the testi- mony offered by Abraham "Whitey'' Friedman, confessed inccndiarist. Judge Dickenson told the jury that 1t was rarely proper to convict man upon the evidence given by an accomplice in crime and that it was of the utmost importance that they search the evidence offered by other states witnesses for testimony tending to strengthen and fortify the accusations of Friedman.

BULL YEAR ENDS
 WITH UPWARD MOVE
Standard Rails and Industrials
 Much in Demand

New York, Dee, Sl R>--An up- ward movement Of stock prices to. day brought 10 close one of the biggest bull" years in the history of the New York stock exchange. Buy ing, which embraced wide variety of issues apparently was influenced by the widespread predictions of business prosperity for 1926,
 Standard rails and industrials were heavily bought, rehccting an unusu- i ally large reinvestment demand for those issues.
 Wall Street opening Stock prices displayed A firm tone at the opening Of the last stock i market session of the year. Secre- tary Hoover's warning against reck- less speculation in stocks apparently did not bring out any extensive selling at the opening. Initial gains of point or more were recorded by American Tobacco, Chrysler and Radio Corporation. Mathieson Alali opened at 1o7, 8 new high quotation for the year.
 Buoyancy developed in some of the high priced industrials soon after the opening. National Biscuit moved up to a new 1925 high. Chrysler extending its gain 10 2a. and National Tea, Sears Roebuck, Woolworth, and New York Cannert sold two or more points higher.
 Cash sales for the purpose Of establishing losses under the income tax law were much smaller than usual on the last day of tho year being confined largely to relatively unimportant issues. Oils which have attracted large speculative following because of merger reports were again active on a rising scale although the early gains were small
 Foreign exchanges opened steady with trading of a holiday character Demand sterling held firm at S4.54B and French francs advanced 3 points to 3.731s cents. Other changes were largely nominal.
