"Moaning Ghost Said
to Haue Become Bore

Bermuda would seem to offer an in
Wiling field for the Society of Psychical
Research. Several old houses on the
islands are reputed to be haunted, and
one Of them, owned by a well-known
American writer, has for it's particular
wrath the ghost of a notorious pirate
who frequented the spot in the pic
turesque Olden times. Another spec
ter haunts an ancient mansion now
serving as the winter home of a
wealthy American family. This is
said to be the ghost of Dorothy Tuck
er, an aged colored woman who toiled
on the surrounding estate in slavery
days, and who, for some misdemeanor,
was locked in cellar, where she was
forgotten and thus starved to death.
Since then, as a spook,; old Aunty
Tucker has often appeared, accord
ing to local stories and as she always
means and wrings her hands, she is

She is said to have appeared so often
to former tenants of the house that
they became accustomed to her pres
ence and were even bored by her re-
peated visits.

Instinct Without Rudder

wonder If we can differentiate be-
tween the mind and the instincts Of
the mind? If we can, I should prefer
to say that instincts Of the mind are
discernible in the works of the great
masters. But I am always apprehen-
sive of metaphysical quicksands and
mists, and before putting down the
helm I will remark that the artists
instinct is the sail that carries the
boat along, and his reason the rudder
that keeps the boats head to the
wind; without the rudder the sail
loses the wind. The smile seems to
hold good. An instinct will carry the
artist some distance, but if he have
not reason he will drift like the rud-
derless boat, making no progress at
all. - From "Avowals" by George
Moore.

Early Caterpillar

A Hampstead correspondent recalls
that nearly seventy years ago he saw
in Hyde park a trial of a military
train of wagons loaded with soldiers
dressed in fatigue jackets and drawn
by a steam engine bearing the name
India. This engine. he says, laid and
raised it's own track, each slipper"
being apparently about four feet long,
mounted, and revolving on rollers
much like the modern caterpillar
movement. The experiment, accord
ing to the London Post, appeared to
aim at improved military transport,
and the men hauled would probably
number about 200 in eight wagons.

Building Up Millions

Anything is attainable, if one only
starts in a small way and increases
daily, say in his savings. None doubts
he could save one cent a day, and
there's the secret Of wealth, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. To become
a millionaire, all you have to do is
to save one cent the first day, two
cents the second day, four the third
day, eight the fourth day, and so on,
doubling the amount each day, and in
80 days you'll be a multimillionaire.
The total will be nearly $10,750OOO.
The final days savings. however, must
be more than $5,000,O0O.

Fakir is a word that has come to
us from the Far East where it literally
means a poor man, a Mahommedan re-
ligious mendicant, who espouses pow
erty as being in harmony with his
sense Of spiritual insignificance. The
life is one of inactivity. Many Of these
ascetics are sincere, but many were

Things You Should Know
SOBER REFLECTION

Two more of Americas great citi
zens have died quite recently; one had
not reached sixty; the other not fifty:
both were known nationally; both died
of disease in the digestive tract. Too
bad.
Both of these men died of prevent
able diseases; unconsciously, each ov-
erloOked the strict letter of the law
of right living, until it was too late.
1t is strange to me, that men tax
ing vacations overlook the great, pure,

devoted himself, during recent years,
to advancing the movement for
free China.
Guilds dominated Chinese econom-
ic life a few years ago. In many dis
tricts they still remain as the chief
form of organization in the economic
field. But with the coming of the
revolution, a new form of organiza-
ton developed: on the one side the
guild. On the other the association
of manufacturers or the chamber of
commerce.
The guild included in its member
ship both the master, the journey
man and the self-employing worker
who hired no helpers. 1t was prim-
arily an organization for the purpose
of advancing the interests of a par
ticular trade, and of these who work
ed at that trade. Some of thel guilds
gave sickness and death benefits to
their members. Though they had
these social features, the guilds were
primarily economic in character.
Trade unions made up of class con-
sciOus workers exclude the bosses.
They cannot do otherwise, because
they grow up in a social system where
the interest of the workers and of
the bosses are opposed to one anoth-
er.
These facts make up the back
ground of Mr.. Lees study of trade
unions in Canton. He explains:
while the Communists were in
Canton the unions that were in con-
troll of the labor movement were
made up of wage-workers. We have
two kinds of unions here at the pres
ent time. Those made up of workers
and those made up of self-employing
merchants, peddlers and other small
producers and tradesmen. Since the
Communists left the city the second
type of union has gained control of
the labor movement"
That is his theory of the situation
in a paragraph. Labor control has
passed, temporarily, from the wage
worker group to the small tradesmar
group. Cantonese describe this as "a
shift to the right"
This economic explanation, coming
as it does from a man who has JUS
made an exhaustive study of the
problem, should throw much light OF
the recent changes in South China
The peasants are still in militant re
volt; still organized in their secre
bands of Red Spears and the like. Blu
the workers in Canton have fallel
under the control of a small busines
group whose interests are best serveC
by the preservation of a kind o.
peace and order that will let then

hampered by further disturbances.
Numerically the labor movemen
in Canton is probably at least a
strong as it was year ago. AS
fighting weapon againt the imperial
lists from without and the Chinese ex
ploiters from within, it has lost mucl
of its driving power. AS far as a,
outsider can see, Mr.. Lee seems t
have hit on a very plausible eXplana
tion of cause behind the change.

BREAKFAST-LTTTLE ROCK-BUT DANGEROUS

riage from going on the rocks. If it
is as serious as that you had better
humour him.
Leading physicians throughout the
country will tell you that hearty
breakfast, eaten in cheerful surround
ings, has a great deal to do with
mans success in the business world.
First of all good breakfast puts
man in cheerful, optimistic mood
whereas a breakfast of mean coffee
and sOggy crullers or greasy eggs
will fill him with pessimism and make
him dyspeptic and irritable to such an
extent that he will quarrel with his
boss or insult his best customer or
client. And it is quite possible that
were you to exert yourself little and
prepare a nice breakfast of fruit, ba-
con, eggs, rolls, coffee, and then seat
yourself next to him in a becoming,
frilly negligee, his appetite will i'm
prove enormously. Don't expect a
man to be very enthusiastic about his
own burnt toast and boiled coffee.
Of course if you worked hard dur
ing the day-if you had children who
disturbed your rest during the night
if you are ill-or if you care nothing
whatsoever about your marriage be-
ing a success-then you are justified.
But it isn't likely that a bride of
six months is overworked- you have
MT a large family to take care Of
and the last two points you must de-
eide yourself.
Personally, I am of the opinion
that you are being merely self-in-
dulgent and that a little self discipline
in the matter of leaving your warm
cazy bed in the morning would be
good for your morale. Try it-and
notice the improvement in your hus-
bands disposition.

BURNS
GRANDSTANDS

When Burns was personally brought
before the grand jury on November 7
he made a typical Burns grandstand
play. On coming out of the grand
jury room he beloved an announce
ment that he would talk to newspaper
men. A crowd of press correspond
ents who have been reporting the oil
scandal for the past four years was
on hand. They dislike Burns and Fall
and Sinclair and Doheny and with
two or three exceptions they privately
speak of the oil defendants in rough
terms. In this moodd they surrounded
Burns and began asking him questions
which soon had him on the defensive.
"WhO hired you?" was one of their
inquiries.
"Day, of the Sinclair Exploration
Co., employed our firm," Burns ad-
mitted.
"Who hired Day?" was the next
question. And from that they went
into his shouted charge that the gov
ernment had attempted to tamper
with the jury, and Burns men had
caught them at it.
