Friday and Saturday-The ''Blue
Ridge Rambiers," a troop of IL
who through their records and
broadcasting are familiar to peo-
pie throughout the country, are
one of the biggest and most unique
acts in the country, and probably
the largest vaudeville act of this
kind that has ever been staged.
This troop is composed Of eleven
real mountaineers, who play the
mountain music that has never
been written, but which has been
handed down from generation to
generation from their forefathers
who were pioneers in the noun
tains. The act is cleverly arrang-
ed, the music both old and modern,
is interspersed with native humor
that is unique with the type of the
Blue Ridge Ramblers. The old
time fiodlin' orchestra has broad
casted from practically every radio
station in the country, and their
barn dance programs are big fav-
orites with radio audiences.

to its entertainment value it boasts
the authority of the investigation

each city concerned, making
scenes in Berlin, Vienna, Burapest,
Athens and Constantinopie. At
these places the picture people had

already seen it to be a real screen

MORE POWER IN MOTORS
Robt. Weir Jr., of Sun Oil Com

"One of the most interesting and
startling developments in the en-
tire history of the automobile, :"
says Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr., local
branch manager of the Sun Oil
Company, happened two or three
years ago and happened SO quiet
ly that a vast majority of to-day's
drivers have failed to grasp the
tremendous significance of the
event. 1 refer to the high COM
preston motor now being built in
to almost every car. In the old
style motor there was plenty of
room in the explosion chamber be-
tween the piston and the top of the
cylinder. But in the modern mo-
tor this space has been so decreas-
ed that it is often as little as the
thickness of a dime. And it is
here, between the piston and the

cylinder that hard carbon forms.
Hard carbon is formed, in the be-
ginning, by high engine heat which
forces out and cakes the paraffine
cylinder stock found in most mo-
tor oils. This collects dirt and
gradually hardens into a solid
fiinty mass that causes loss of
power, warped valve stems, knock
ing, pre-ignition and other annoy
ing and expensive repairs. But"
concluded Mr.. Weir with a smile,

HOUSE PASSES
Bill Clarifying Temporary
Admission of Aliens

Washington, d. C. U. L. n. 81
A bill introduced by Representative
Box of Texas and intended to clarity
the law relating to the temporary ad-
mission of aliens to the United States
was passed by the house February Is
and sent to the senate. The bill was
supported by organized labor.
Section 8 of the immigration act of
1924 provides for the temporary adj
mission of certain classes of aliens,
including aliens for business or pleas
ure. Under this section and protected
by certain court decisions, aliens have
been coming into the United States,
evading the quota regulations, and
taking or seeking work in this coun-
try. The bill of Representative Box
provides that no alien shall be con-
sidered as visiting the United States
temporarily as a tourist or tempor-
arily for business or pleasure if he
is coming under an agreement to work
or is coming to look for work.
Representative Vincent of Michigan
pointed out that it was never the
thought of the committee on immigra-
ton that a person coming to the
United States to take a job or hunt
work was engaged in business OF

"The increased productivity of in

production methods, nerve-racking
high-speed processes and complicated
machinery of all sorts has made long

fore. The new strains which the girl
or woman in industry is subjected to,
the intense monotony of the repetitive
processes now so common, has pro-

Mine HORRORS
In NOn-UniOn Fields Grow !;
Owners Dodge Blame

Wheeling, W. Explosions in
non-union mines of this state con-
tinue to take their toll of workers
who dare not protest against viola
ton of mine safety laws.
County grand juries that are con-
trolled by the companies shield the
operators.
The recent explosion in Mcdowell
county, in which six employees lost
their lives, was blamed on the com
pany by the coroner. This county off
cial said the explosion was caused by
gross negligence of state mine safety
laws. He referred the matter to the
grand jury, and that body, as usual,
promptly placed the blame on one of
the dead miners. Most of these acci-
dents are caused by falls of roof and
slate. This lack of proper timbering
is less expensive to the operator, but
means death to the mine worker.
The Wheeling Intelligencer declares
that nine-tenths of the deaths and in
juries to miners could easily and in
extensively be prevented" and that
the shameful record that West Vir-
ginia is making can not be exagger-
ated
The newspaper calls on state au-
thorities to end the slaughter of min
ers, and to provide safety laws the
violation of which will be as certain
and severe as is the punishment fol
taking of human life, or destroying
human limb, in any other way"

OPPOSED BY LABOR

Boston.-Organized labor in this

workers on an equality before the law
with employers.
Trade unionists can not strike to
secure the union shop, but an employ
er can discharge worker because he
is member of organized labor. 1t is
also illegal for trade unionists to ask
sympathizers to withhold their pat
ronage from unfair employer. These
employers, however, are given a free
hand to victimize workers
