Rule Intended to Put
Drivers Out of Work

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 81
The slave driving program adopted
by the local taxi owners is exposed
in the February issue of the Cab
Driver, official organ of the Cab
Drivers Union.
1t points out that "a rule is now
being put over that requires that you
book $50 week or get fined. All the
weak ones will be terminated and the
rest will have to fight like hell to
make the mark set for them. The
fleet of cabs will be cut so that sew
eral hundred drivers will be knocked
out of a job and those who remain
will have to put in II to Is hours a
day to make ends meet. Out of $50
you get $16.66. If your tips IRE good
you will make $24.0O a week. But
look at the hours. Only by organic
ing. viii we be able to get a decent
wage and decent hours"

CHICAGO, Feb. 81. - Workers

The comrades in the yards are par

rather difficult to carry on effective
work without outside help. And the
comrades of the street nuclei in the
section realize more than ever the
necessity of getting behind the shop
nucleus in putting over this bulletin
AS always the financial question is
forever present where the printing of

Thayer Is Condemned
By Harvard Dean in
SaccO Case Review

Prof. Felix Frankfurter of the Har-
ward Law School has written an arti-
Gle for the March issue of the Allan
tic Monthly, in which he proves that
Nicola Sacco and Bartholomew Van
zetti were not given a fair trial by
Judge Thayer, when they were
brought before him on the framed
up charge of murder for their activity
in the labor movement.
He points out that Judge Thayer
allowed the prosecution unusual lati-
tude in introducing evidence that his
charge to the jury and his rulings on
motions were biased and that there
is no doubt that new trial should
be granted.

Reported Finding of

What is described as the largest

rock carvings, in Canada, has just
been reported to the archaeological
office of the Canadian National mu-
scum at Ottawa. This carving Is said
TO be $50 feet long and located near

According to the reports. 1t Is carved
on vertical face of reddish rock,
sheltered by an overwhelming ledge.
It is about half mile south of the
eastern end of the Alexander bridge
on the Caribou highway, and near
the Canadian National railway. A
trout fishing trail from which 1t can
probably be seen runs up in its direc-

Why do so many, many babies OF to-

and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and

If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And its
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-

Loss in Attendance
for Prussian Schools

Berlin.-There has been marked
decline in the number of children at
tending the public schools of Prussia.
While in 1921, when school census
was last taken, the number of pupils
was 5,461,5 94, figures recently pub
lished BY the Prussian ministry of ed
ucation show that there are only A.
1906 in attendance now.
This decline of more than "a per
cent Is explained as being due to the
great retrogession In the birth rate
during and Immediately following the
war.
Fortunately the number Of teachers
has declined by only G.34 per cent.
This means that the classes have be-
come somewhat smaller and conse-
quentIy more attention can be given
to each pupil. While in 1921 each
teacher had on an average Al pupils
to look after, he is now responsible
for only 3S.

bv Use of New Method

sufficiently to play the selection with

"sight" reading Of music, was per

sightless, who Is in charge Of printing
at the Illinois School for the Blind
at Jacksonville. 1t was demonstrated
for the first time at the seventh an
nual Illinois conference on public well
fare, held in Joliet.
Previously, in printing music in
Braille, all the words of song were
followed by the notes of the music
In the new method, each word Is fol-
lowed by the accompanying note,
throughout the selection.

To Cut Americas Sugar
Bill Over 200 Million

New York.-The $232 100000 which
America spends annually for sugar
will be kept at home within few
years hence. American farmers will
be growing that amount of sugar along
with other crops If the plan now being
worked out by the bureau of stand
ards Is successful.
The experiment Is largely based
upon growing the wild artichokes,
says Farm and Fireside. Artichokes,
unlike sugar beets need little culti-
walton and produce their own seed,
whereas sugar beet seed has to be
imported from Europe.
From the artichoke comes sub
stance called levuose, % per cent
sweeter than cane sugar. Chemically
it gives the same sweetness as fresh
honey.
