STIRS COUNTRY
Princes, Moderates for
New Overtures

DELHI, India, Nov. 21.-Several
hundred students in schools and col
leges today began a strike in SYM
pathy with all-national boycott of
the Simon Commission agreed upon
before the commission returned from
England. The Simon Commission
is in India for the alleged purpose
of investigation to study the advis-
Utility of extending self-government
to the country. Its is assumed that
this self-government will take the
form of the dominion status" urged
, by the India industrialists and
/, financiers.
Nationwide Protest.
Reports reaching Delhi from
numerous cities thruout the penin-
sula state that action similar to
that of the students here has been
taken or is being contemplated in
other centers.
Calcutta, Madras and Bombay re-
port intense feeling among the
workers in cotton and jute mills
and the railroad shops.
Princes, Moderates to Confer.
LONDON, (By MaiI Efforts of
the Indian princes thru their stand
ing committee here to strengthen
relations with certain of the more
moderate nationalist leaders were
discussed at a conference of the
princes recently. The indianapolis
of Patiala, Kashmir Nawanagar
and Clutch were reported to have
l attended the meeting.
Increased discomfort among the
masses of Indian workers and peas
ants is alleged as the reason for
the renewed approaches of the prin-
ces to the moderate nationalist.
Nationwide boycott of the Simon
Commission, which is again in In
dia, resistance to the British troops
in Bardoli, and sporadic strikes and
outbreaks in all parts of the coun-
try are giving concern to the prin-
ces who fear that they will be swept
away should the mass movement
against the British and their ma
tive adherents among the princes
and the industrialists gain force.
Dubious Nationalist.
The willingness of such national
lists as Sir C. P Ramaswami Aiyar
and Annie Besant to confer with
the princes is strikingly shown in
the following excerpt from British
paper:
"While realizing their inability at
this iuncture to commit their col
leagues, the Standing Committee
members believe that the surees-
ton is one that might when the
time is ripe be profitably explored,
so that views can be exchanged and
misunderstanding removed
"'The Indian News Services under
stands that the same view has been
communicated TO the representatives
of the All-Parties Conference, and
as soon as the Indian princes re-
turn TO India a definite move in
that direction will be taken by the
Indian leaders.
"The negotiations were first pro-
posed in conversations between the
Maharajah of Bikaner and two i'm
portant leaders of the All-Parties
Conference, DR.. Annie Besant, of
the National Home Rule League,
and Sir C. P. Ramasawami Aiyar,
former law member o fthe Madras
governors cabinet.
1.-THE suggestion is that it might
be possible to work out plan under
which the Indian states would be
associated with British India on a
federal basis"

'sBlue-Blooded" People
FaUorifes Of Fortune

There is, Of course, no ''blue blood"
but the term. generally used in COM
plimentary sense as denoting gentle
birth, does really bark back to color
origin. Not of blood, though. The
reference is to the color Of the veins.
Families who through several gen.
erations possessed sufficient wealth to
enable them to escape manual work
developed skins OF very fine texture,
and through the latter the veins
showed blue. That would be espe-
cially apparent in the hands and fore
arms. The skins Of those who, un-
blessed with wealth, had to work be-
came hard. and the veins were hardly
discernable.
Thus, although ''blue-veined" or
sfne-skinned" would have been more
correct, the term ''blue-blooded" came
Ilnto use to denote the aristocracy, and
lit would seem, from old writings. that
lat was the popular belief that the
term expressed the literal fact.-Kan-
sas City Times.

Mace Has Long Been
Symbol Of Authority

An interesting bit Of ceremony takes
place each day as the house OF rep
resentatives converies A distin-
guished-Iooking individual enters the
chamber ana walks slowly to the
front bearing aloft the mace, which
the house maintains as its symbol OF
power. At the speakers stand ne
turns to the right and fastens the
STAFF on that side Of the platform. 1t
Is an official announcement that the
house Of representatives Is now in ses-
sion and vested with the power to
transact legislative business.
] The mace resembles a flagpole
capped by q cleaning metal eagle.
Its keepers sole duty is to appear
twice on the floor of the house on
days when 1t is in session, bringing
the mace In when the body convenes.
and when 1t adjourns. carrying It
back to the Office Of the sergeant-at-
arms with the same deliberate step.
The only time during day OF busi-
ness when the mace is removed be-
fore adjournment Is when the house
goes into committee of the whole to
consider some piece Of specific legis-
lation. When it is officially In legis-
lative session again the mace Is re-
turned.

Japanese Girl Tells
About Golden Rule

The heart of the world beats low
ingly for children and when the
Golden Rule appeal to do unto others
as one would have them do for him
self is made in behalf of children
there is RESPONSE from far and near.
Here is description made by a little
Japanese girl in Kyoto. of the Near
East orphans who are the first fbene-
ficiaries Of Golden Rule Sunday:
"What is this Golden Rule Sundayf
Once in Armenia and Syria nearly q
million orphans. having no home and
food, were wandering. They. were SO
hungry they could not cry and died
every day by hunger and epidemic.
Their fate was the cruelest Of those
who survived the Great War Of the
World. Much land was laid waste by,
the war and by the plundering OF
bandits. Over mountains and rivers
wandered the orphans who were ex.
PEELED.
"What was the cause of this disas-
ter? What did their parents do?
They insisted on liberty of faith of
their religion. The enemy government
planned to sever all their lives.
Though they were shot dead they
died bravely. gratified at the fate
given them by God. They bequeathed
to their children the Bible in which
was the Golden Rule. Golden Rule
Sunday was established according to
its phrases. Indeed, must remember
this day. We at school made hearty
contributions. May God bless every
poor orphan!" Send all donations to

Papal Claim Still Stands

In 1871 the Italian government abb
isofbed as part Of the territory Of Italy
much of the property over which the
pope Of Rome had exercised and
claimed Jurisdiction and possession.
The italian government placed to the
credit Of the Vatican a sum of money
and certain guarantees which have
mot been accepted by the Roman au-
liberties. 1t is said that the Italian
government is anxious to adjust the
matter. but so far the papal claim
has not been diminished, which is
temporal power or Jurisdiction over
the disputed territory.
