SHADES OF BIG BILL HAYWARD!

to protect group of strikers in battle with
mine guards.
Advancing upon the guards with the national col

the mine operators say they shall not be allowed.
However, the guards did not fall for the but
mixed it with the "wobblies flag and all, though
ports say the struggle for possession of the flag formed

The merits dement's of the strike open for

of the United States and those who pledge allegiance
it, who love it they love the mother who bore

it.

ROUMANIA AND CAROL

With affairs in Roumapia badly strained, and each
day approaching the breaking point, the re-
doubtable Queen Marie is having her hands full try
ing to prevent revolution civil war from sweeping
the land
Carol the former prince, is the of the
trouble Ensnared several years ago by the wiles of
fair charmer he abandoned his family foreswore his
right to succeed his father the Roumanan throne,
and with great hullabaloo about all for love" hied
himself off with his lady fair to enjoy the feshpots
of Paris
With the death of his father-King Ferdnand-a
few weeks ago realization of his folly in giving up
his brthright apparently entered the mind of the
egade prince He announced to the world that he has
parted from his fair charmer and wants to go back
to his own country to assume the position which he
claims is rightfully his-the throne of Rcumania.
Carol would sweep aside his six year old son who
now holds the place which he might have had, though
regency governs the country during the minority of
the youthful king.
Americans who have watched developments, may
well sympathize with Queen Marie, who has been the
real power in Roumania. The detection of her son
a severe blow to her, Doubtless his new attitude is
equally painful.
AS for Carol he has shown himself to be mighty
small potatoes" as far as prospective ruler is
cerned Unable to govern himself, he would govern
others. Unfaithfu to his mother, his wife, his son,
and to his paranour, he would ask several million
people to be faithful subjects to him. And such is the
shallowness of the human mind, that maj ority of the
of the several million might be willing to submit to
him. Between him and them stands Queen Marie and
the government of Roumania. From spirit of fair
play, if not from desire to Roumania happy and
peaceful, is bound to wish Marie and her govern
ment success in keeping out the wayward eX-prince

METRIC SYSTEM

A new effort is going to be made, in the forthcom-
ing session. to get metric system measure through
congress.
Senator Gillette of Massachusetts will offer again
weights and measures with the metric standard.
Representative Britain of Illinois will submit sim
liar measure differing in details.
Neither seeks to make the change effective immedi
ately. That would cause great confusion. 1t could
be done Senator Gillette thinks, by 1885.
The greatest difficulty encountered, perhaps would
be the psychological one of famiarZing the people
with the use of the metric terms. Senator Gillette
seeks to facilitate that by continuing the of of
the most common terms such pound, quart and
yard instead of kilogram, liter and meter but chang
ing the meaning of the English term to represent the
exact quantity represented by the metric term. That
might cause more confusion than ever
If the metrical decimal standard is to be adopt
cd, why not adopt it fully name and all? Most Of the
other civilized nations have done long ago, with
out finding the problem insuperabe. Why should An
gio-Saxons have any more difficulty?

RIN-TlN-TiN COMING AT
 COLISEUM THURSDAY


 Fire which threatened to wipe out the entire town of Victorville Cal. was checke and finally ex. tinguished through the efforts O. the Rin-Tin-Tin company on loca- tion for the Warner Bros produc tion of "The Clash of the Wolves" which will open at the Coliseum for Thursday and Friday
 The fire was traced to an over heated iron in a tailoring shop next to the hctel where the troupe of about fifty which included di- rector Noel Smith, the stars, Rim Tin-Tin. June Marlowe and Char les Farrell. and technical men and cowpunchers, were staying. The company was in the hotel dining room when they were disturbed by the barking of "Rinty." who had been locked in a room next to the tailoring shop after supper.
 As the barking continued, MT. Duncan investigated and found some smoke creeping in through the open window. He gave the alarm at once and the company turned out in force and mangaed to save the hotel, although the shop was completely consumed.
 "The Clash of the Wolves" was written by Charles A. Logue.

 The one which Charley Johnson, who is an employee of the light house tender Cedar. killed had started for him after the first shot.
 It is claimed that the black wolf hides are not so valuable for fur as the gray ones, as they cannot be dyed so readily. But the black wolves seem to be much larger and fiercer than the other kind.
