Mine Workers of America and the

Pittsburgh Coal Co, largest IN the
world. General Motors Co. the Penn
sylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio, the
New York Central and other railroads
and the Mellon banking interests.
The fight as it stands turns around
whether mines employing l3o.ooo men
with some 100000 dependents shail be
union or non-union. For ~ months
that contest has been on. 1t Is Tor

Rules That Govern
Kinship of Cousins

In answering a correspondents
query, what relation are the chill
dren Of first cousins to each otherf
What relation to me is my first cou-
sins child?" the Pathfinder Magazine
says:
Reckoning cousin relationships is
simple If you start out right A cou-
sin Is one collaterally related by, de-
scent from a common ancestor, but not
brother or sister, Children of broth.
ers and sisters are first cousins to
one another; sometimes they are
called couslns-german, own cousins, or
full cousins. The children of first cou.
sins are second cousins to one an
other; children of second cousins are
third cousins to one another, and SO
on. The child Of ones first cousin is
a first cousin once removed; the
grandchild of ones first cousin is a
first cousin twice removed, and so on.
Confusion sometimes arises from the
custom Of some people who speak of
the children and grandchildren of
their first cousins as second and third
cousins, respectively, but the practice
is only local. The correct and almost
universal rule for reckoning cousins
Is as we have given It."

Luxembourg Has Much

About all the average person knows
about Luxembourg Is that 1t is small
country somewhere between Belgium
and Germany, but the little country
possesses some rare scenery. The
country Is as old as most of its neigh
bors, and Rome thought 1t important
enough to fortify it, centuries ago.
From its ducal family have come
queens of France and emperors of
Germany. The city of Luxembourg is
a rocky gem in forest setting, and,
according to Edwin Robert Petre,
travel writer, from here one can look
to Treyes and Thionville, and not
only into Germany but to Longwy and
the north Of France, Arlon, Brussels
and the coasts of Belgium. The old
fortress Of Vauban has been mod.
ernized so that Its gloom no longer
shadows the city. When the visitor
has seen its sights, such as the dukes
