A woman with sad eyes peered into

was a mental struggle going on in
her brain. The wrinkles in her face

A POUND OF SLICED BACON

A long time ago man found a wild
animal he named swine. The beast
was cloven-hoofed mammal that did
not chew the cud so he was not con-
sidered fit for human food. The Jews
and Mohammedans forbade the use
of swine flesh in cooking. Even to
this day many people refuse to eat
Of the swine.
Civilization converted the swine
into domesticated hog. That gave
the animal entrance to the various
fields and marts Of cbmmercialism.
The hog now feeds in the fields, roots
in the pastures and rides to market
on railway trains. He is a very i'm
portant brute for he helps to grease
the wheels Of commerce..
The farmer has adopted the hog as
one of his fayorite pets. He feeds
the animal on corn, peanuts and field
peas, because these foods contain
much protein and fat. When the hog
reaches the age of maturity he is
given transportation to the big city.
At the slaughter-yard the hog sounds
the last life call.
No part of the fat hog is cast into
the waste heap. The packing-house
directors cash in on the hair, hide and
hoofs. The main body supplies pork,
bacon, hams and lard. The head gives
material for cheese. The ribs are
sold as spares. The backbone finds
ready market among certain epi-
cures.
Man was puzzled on what 10 do
with the hog-blood and squeal. That
problem was soon solved. The blood
was stirred into tasty buildings. The
squeal was canned, TO be used as air
and parlor propaganda, to prove to
the world that the farmer, who owns
hogs is the richest man on earth

BY EMANUEL KANTER
and ALEX SCHWARZENFELD

We have already learned in the
article "War in Savagery" that peace
was the condition Of savage society
II was shown that the savage print.
tive Communists held their property
in common; that there were nc
classes, no poor, no rich, no slavery
no oppression of man by man or Of
woman by man. They shared theh
food and often their wives, accord.
ing TO the custom Of hospitality. We
also know that there was no greed
among them, for they had not yet
learned the value of property. :
They were honest and truthful, for
as yet their was no reason to steal
or lie. They were in the Golden Age
of humanity, as the ethnologists and
poets tell US, when the warrior, the
priest, the judge and the exploiter did
not yet mar the natural communism
then prevailing.
In later period, that Of Matriar-
chal Barbarism, when hunting and
food-gathering, by means of which
the savage lived, were supplemented
by a primitive kind of agriculture
(gaxdening), i. e. when the mode of
production and the tools of produc-
ton were further developed, the prim-
tive peacefulness was still little dis
turbed. For even then the means Of
production were communal, and socie-
ty was still classless; so that the divi-
sion into rich and poor, into exploiters
and exploited was unknown.
Under normal conditions peace gem
orally reigns. Honesty and truthful
ness and hospitality (the sharing Of
food) still exists, as Morgan has
shown in his Ancient Society and
Houses and Houselife' among the
American Aborigines. = Of course
when natural forces cause such a
people, as the Iroquois, for example,
to migrate from their original habitat
and to seek home elsewhere they
are apt to come in conflict with other
tribes, whose territory they may at
tempt to occupy. But since there is
no desire to make private property
of the land but to use it to hunt on,
in order that they might not starve,
an agreement is easily reached.
The Iroquois formed a confeder-
alton, a league of nations. Zone Of
its avowed objects" says Morgan,
twas peace, to remove the cause Of
strife by uniting their tribes under
one government, and then extending
it by Incorporating other tribes Of the
same pame and lineage" This condi-
ton OF peace was later disturbed by
the intrusion Of the civilized French
and English.
Yet it can be said without fear of
contradiction that under normal con-
ditions, when the tribal communal life
is not disturbed by external forces,
peace prevails in the Matriarchal
Barbarian tribes. On this point Mr..
Powell, of the classical school of An
thropology, says (of the North Amer
lean Indians) that "their accumu-
lations were not so great as to be
tempting; accordingly battle for
plumber, tribute and conquest was al
most unknown"
As soon as humanity develops out
Of the hunting stage into the pastoral,
as soon as cattle, the first means Of
production to become private prop
erty, is appropriated by the males of
the tribe and used for their own en-

Bobbed Hair Taboo
By HoIstein Women

BERLIN, June 7. P - The north
German state of Holstein holds
unique record in that there is not
bobbed head to be found among its
native women.
If the traveller succeeds in discern
ing short-haired representative of the
gentler sex, he will find she halls from
elsewhere than this former grand
duchy.
The Holstein women, who are famed
for their beauty pride themselves on
their thick blond or brown tresses.
Even the girls of school age wear long
braids and object to cutting off what
they are taught is womanhood's crown
ing glory.
Far from advertising their ability to
clip women's hair, the BARRIERS in towns
like Kiel or Ploen display beautiful
braids and curls in their shop WIN
dows as an inducement to women
whose hair is scant to pad their nat
ural crop.
The women are up to the minute in
other fashions, such as short skirts and
silk stockings, and they subscribe to
fashion journals as avidly as do their
sisters in the rest of Germany.

PARIS, June 7. P-Even the price
of going up has gone up.
The charge of ascending the Eiffel
Tower, the tallest structure in the
world, has been raised.
Five francs was the cost for the post

has been good an additional franc is
charged now.
The tower generally is considered a
public institution, but really it is own
ed by the company that built it for
the 1889 exposition. The city gets a
percentage and it was to increase the
citys share that the view of the coun-
try around Paris has been made more
expensive.

Miller Has Last Laugh

"Bing" Miller, three-time discard
in the majors, is having the laugh
this spring on the managers who
have passed him up.
So far his batting for the st.
Louis Browns has been one OF the
features of the race. His timely
hitting has been one of the reasons
for Dan Howley's club surprising folks.
Detroit first had string on him
for three years but finally decided
to pass up their title. Two years
later Washington brought him back,
only to trade him to Philadelphia.
After four years with Mack he was
passed on to st. Louis.
All these shifts, despite the fact
Miller has been consistent 300
batsman since coming to the majors.
This spring he has been stepping
along almost 100 points better.
1t would take a lot of persuasion
and much cash to get him away from
the Browns, the way he is going at
present.
Like a great many other leading
batters of the present day, Miller
began his professional career as a
pitcher in the minors.

change of pace in baseball can
be used to advantage in more ways
than merely from a pitching stand
point.
When the opposition is taking
Liberties with a twirler'S fast ball and
curve, usually a change of pace on
the part of the pitcher will solve
the situation.
A manager oy mixing EN- up can
very often get club out of a slump
by a shift or two in his lineup.
DOME Bush recently did such thing
with his Pittsburgh club and attained
excellent results. ~
After playing the first Is games
of the season the Pirates boasted an
average only few points better than
500. Feeling the club hadn't shown
enough offensive strength, Bush
shifted his infield to bring about the
desired result.
Hal Rhyme, batting perhaps SO
points below normal, was removed
from the lineup. Grantham was
shifted from first base to Rhymes
position at second. Joe Harris was
pressed into service at first base.
i
Immediately the Pirates showed a
complete reversal of form, went out
and hung up the longest winning
streak of the year in the majors,
IL straight, and hoped into first
place with comfortable margin.

Earl pitched fine ball from his very

A constant improvement in his
style, a move that now holds the
runners close to the bases and a
better fast ball, due to added pound
age, make Whitehill highly capable
performer. He has always boasted
an excellent curve.
It is Whitehill's ambition to break
