Resent Employment of

The extreme sensitiveness of the
Scotch and Welsh about the use of
the word English as a general
adjective for the inhabitants of this
island is well known, writes the
London correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Speakers in
the house of commons are continu-
ally being heckled on the subject.
They must say Cat least so the
members from the north of the
Clyde insist) "British," and not
English" This has led to many
plants that the word English" or
"Englishman" can hope for a good
reception anywhere in the world ex-
cept in Westminster.
So sensitive are the Scots gen.
orally at being left out in this way
that there is story that once, dur

soldiers who broke into the Hin

United States Takes
High Rank in HeaIinc

AT the beginning of the Nine,
teenth century, according to Doctor
Osler, there were only three med.
ical schools in the United States
and only two general hospitals. Stu.
dents who desired a better educa.
tion than they could receive To-
cally were forced to go abroad.
There were only few medical
Journals in circulation in this
country and almost no American
medical books had been published.
Around the middle of the century
many new medical schools were
founded, but their standards were
low and the education they gave
was poor.
The reformation started in Har-
ward shortly after President Eliot
assumed office in 1869 and quickly
spread to the other medical schools
of the country, stirring them all
to new life and activity. We have
now so medical schools, 1922 gen.
era1 hospitals, and a medical lit
erature SO rich and voluminous as
to be embarrassing.-Bessie Bun

Small Need for Gator
to Practice Speeding

At st. Augustine, Fla, there is
perhaps the largest alligator farm
in the world, having about 5000 al
igators of all sizes. A party was
being shown around by negro and
they came at last to an alligator
that weighed 100 pounds and was
500 years old. This gator was TAX
ing life easy, and when we stood
there, perhaps Is minutes, he did
not show any outward signs that
he was alive. One of the party
mentioned this to the guide and
that it must be nice to be an alli-
gator, and he would not mind be-
ing one himself if all they had to do
was to eat and sleep. On further
reflection he asked the negro just
what the alligator did do anyway,
and the negro replied: "Well, sub,
scientists done figur' out that these
gators done live to be bout 1,S00
years old and I done guess them
animals jes' figur' that what little
they got to do they done got plenty
time to do it in.''

Famous Statuary Hall
Senator Morriips Idea

Justin Smith Morrill, suggested
the plan of putting statues in the
Capitol of prominent men from each
state. The National Statuary hall,
semicircular in shape and designed
by Latrobe, after a Greek theater.
is one of the most beautiful rooms
in the Capitol. On the north side it
has a cOlOnnade Of Potomac marble
with white capitals, and ID, II a
screen of similar column an the
south side supports a node arch.
The domed ceiling, decorated after
that of the Roman Pantheon,
springs 81 feet to a cupola by which
the room is lighted. Above the door
leading from the rotunda is Fran
zoni's historical clock. This room
was the hall Of representatives, and
was the forum of debates by Web
ster, Clay, Adams, Calhoun and
others whose names are iIdelibly
associated with the history of con-
gress. In 1864 at the suggestion of
Senator Morrill, of Vermont (then
a member of the house) the room
was set apart as a National Stat
uary hall, to which each state might
send the statues of two of it's dis
tinguished citizens. Rhode Island
was the first to respond, choosing
Roger Williams and Nathaniel
Greene.

Music in the Ant Hill

Perhaps it requires a stretch of
the Imagination to picture an ant
playing the violin. Yet certain va
rieties of tiny creatures come close
to doing that very thing. Nor do
they have to manufacture the mu-
sic-prodqcing instrument. Nature
has provided them with a finely
edged lutte fastened to the abdomen
and a plectrum, or sounding board,
so conveniently placed that by
rasping the surface the ants can
produce exceedingly delicate and
high-pitched musical notes.

The answer is: From the medic
val pageants which were played all
over Europe at one time, and of
which the Passion play at Ober-
ammergau is an almost unique sur
vival. Whalebelly probably immor-
talized the performance of some for
gotten actor who took the part, dur
Ing the eight days pageant held at
Smithfield, of the whale which swal-
lowed Jonahi
Other surnames which probably
originated from these religious
plays are Farrow (Pharoah) and
Asplin (Absalom). Midway is an
other name with a religious origin.
It is a corruption of the Virgin
Mary. "Mildr was the recognized
character of Mary, hence the forma-

s. The problem of the reserves. 1t has fire.
quently been stated, and repetition is need
less, that any state, and state in particular,
cannot manage without reserves. We possess
some reserves of grain, goods, securities. Our
comrades have already had the opportunity of
convincing themselves of the favorable influ-
ence of these reserves. But "some" reserves
do not suffice. We need solid reserves in every
line.
Hence it is our task to accumulate reserves.
B. Industrial Tasks.
1. The main problem here is the forced de-
velopment of the smelling industry. 1t must
be remembered that we did not regain and
pass the pre-war standard of crude iron pro-
duction until the current year 1929-30. This is
a serious threat to our whole national economy.
In order to do away with this threat we must
resort to forced development of our smelt-
ing industry By the end of the Five-Year
Plan we need, not the ten million tons of
crude iron of our original estimate, but II
million tons. This is task which we must ac-
complish at any price, if we are determined to
ensure effectual progress for the industrial
ization of our country.
The Bolsheviks must show that they are able
to accomplish this task.
This of course does not mean that must
neglect light industry. Not by any means
Hitherto we have saved in every direction, in
Guiding that of light industry, in order to
build up heavy industry. But now we have
restored our heavy industry. All that we now
require is its further development. Now we can
turn to light industry, and develop this at an
accelerated pace What is new in the develop
ment of our industry consists in part of our
now possessing the possibility of developing
both heavy industry and light industry at
greater speed. The outstripping of our planned
program for this year in the growing of cotton,
flax, and sugar beets, the successful solution
of the hemp and artificial silk problem-all
this bears witness to the fact that it now ac-
tually lies in our power to promote our light
industry.
2. The problem of naturalization, the low
ering of the costs of production, and the i'm
provement of the quality of the products The
gaps in our naturalization, the "non-fulfil-
ment" of the plan for the reduction of the costs
of production, and the inferior quality of the
goods produced by many of our undertakings,
can no longer be tolerated. These gaps and de-
fects exercise pre- upon the whole of
our national economy and hinder its advance
ment We ought to have wiped out this stain
long ago.
The Bolshevsts must show that they are
able to master this task.

mand. The violations of the sole power of
command in the practice of our Undertakings is
intolerable. Again and again the workers COM

With this new orientation we must go for
ward to build What is the duty of the revo-
lutionary organizations to help the Interna-

to develop and bring into leadership those
workers who show understanding of the
need of militant defense organization? The
duty is to give theological leadership to the
turn in the LID.
Those workers who are actively engaged
in putting into practice the vigorous move of
the Trade Union Unity League to organize
the unorganized and to build militant revolu
tionary unions face police terror every day.
The International Labor Defense is daily de-
Tending workers struggling for the right to
organize and picket. Hence the organization
of LID. branches must be rooted in the shops
and factories and among the unemployed in the
councils of the T.U.U.L.
These must be the backbone of the mass de-
tense organization The practice of independ-
ent defense work in the different unions must
be discouraged forever. The practice in this
past to spend thousands If dollars on lawyers,
of using the organizers as court messengers.
and spending energy in collecting defense
funds tended to isolate the case as the prop
erty of that particular union No efforts were
made to broaden support around the particular
case and use it base for further struggle
by drawing around it those workers hitherto
untouched. This manifestation in the unions
is a remnant of craft theology and is legasm
in the crassest form. The only way to utilize
and gain the full value from the attack of the
bosses and their government is to build defense
groups in the shops and factories, which groups
should be knit together into a central organ
ization.
Truly International.
The International Labor Defense as part Of
