But 1t all sounded so thrilling to
Tommy. 1t was like living years and
years ago, somehow, and looking for
things that were beautiful, and becom-
ing friends with strange, strange, crea-
lures, and finding q treasured reward
at the end. Oh, what would 1t matter
If 1t was great effort What an ad-
venturel
He had blanket and a knapsack
Of food and his grandfather's stick.
Don't be gone too long," his grand
father had said, for his grandfather
would miss him as would the other
members Of the family. But they all
envied Tommy his great adventure.
They had all dreamed Of adventures
themselves.
Up and down the hills he climbed
through woods and woods. After a
long time when he was feeling quite
weary he came to a small lake. He
thought 1t was very pretty lake, and
he wondered If it would not be fun to
stop here and explore. Probably this
would do as well as the other. 1t was
long climb here, and he was quite,
quite, tired. But then he remembered
that this was where the others had
stopped.
There was higher hill beyond this,
then some woods, and then up to the
tip top 1t was called. That was where
the beautiful pond was to be found,
SO they said But now that he was
feeling so tired he wondered If the
pond really was there. No one had
seen it. No one was really sure
Maybe the old man wasn't quite right
In his mind. Maybe there wasn't any
thing there at all-no adventures to
be had, no cave, no treasure, no won
derful, wonderful, beauty.
He sat and thought about 1t, but
then decided he would go and see,
though he was just q little discour-
aged when no one was really sure.
He had just begun to climb the next
hill when he heard kissing and a
swishing In the glass.
Well, he was glad he had his stick
| with him. There must be no delay.
Without doubt this sound meant q
snake.
And no sooner had he thought this
than the snake was wriggling along
ahead of him. he raised his stick
and kept it raised. Certainly the
snake was showing no sign of hurting
him. In fact, he was timidly hurrying
away. After all, he was rather a pret-
ty snake and he had almost helpless
look. How dreadful, Tommy thought
to himself, not to have legs and have
to move this way. He put down his
stick and the snake looked around.
Dear me, but that's relief" the
snake said in his funny, kissing
voice Yet Tommy could understand
him perfectly.
whats a reliefT Tommy asked
ITO think that you're a friend" the
snake replied.

PARTYISM
Is Ridiculed BY Senator
Shipstead in Broadcast .

Westinghouse leading politicians
of both parties are correct in their
plea for non-partisan action in the
present industrial crisis, what be-
comes of their claim that ours is a
government of parties, and why not
apply -partisanship at all times :?
asked Senator Shipstead in a nation
wide radio address.
The northwest senator called at
tention to Washington's warning
against the baneful influence of party
spirit, which is now accepted by lead
ers who have hitherto insisted that
1--WE must have government by
parties"
"Now," continued Senator Shpi-
stead, when the country most par
ticularly need salvation, the leaders
of both major parties unite in pro-
posing and accepting an abandon
ment of party and a recurrence to
the principle of George Washington,
the principle of -partisanship,
toward the solution of the difficulties
of the Republic.

SIX-HOUR DAY
In Rail Workers Plan To
Aid Unemployed

Chicago.-The Big Four" rail
brotherhoods and the Switchmen's
Union of North America will act
jointly to relieve the unemployed in
the transportation industry.
This proposal was adopted at a
meeting of 700 general chairmen rep
resenting engineers, conductors, fire
men, trainmen and switchmen on the
railroads of the United States and
Canada.
Five representatives from each or
ganization were appointed to draw
up details of the plan.
A six-hour day with eight hours
pay may probably be major recon-
mendation. 1t is suggested that no
rail transportation worker have
more than 20 days mileage month,
that employment may be spread
The effect of new processes on rail
roads is indicated by a statement by
A. F. Whitney, president Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, who says his
organization has $4,000 men dropped
from the payrolls of 200 roads since
1923.
The rail workers made joint hour
reducing movement in 1916, which
eliminated in the Adamson act just
as the men were ready to suspend
work throughout the nation The
railway labor act, which has since
been passed, provides for mediation
of disputes.

Reading is situated.
At Lauers Park, where the strikers
met following the walkout, hundreds
of workers, representing every mill

TOMMY'S ADVENTURE

TOMMY was little boy who
= longed to adventure. He had
heard his grandfather talk of won
derful adventure to be had at the top
of mountain where lived strange
old man.
They had never gone all the way to
see the old man, for there had been
a lovely halfway place where they
had always stopped and haG picnic,
and then decided to put off the long
climb until another time.
Tommy knew, for he had thought
1t all out, that he would only be able
to get just SO far at a time In fact,
they had told him So They had told
him that was the reason they had not
gone farther.
SO he decided he would not expect
great deal to happen at once, nor
to accomplish lot In short climb.

SUIT IS LATEST
Move to Break DanviIle
Strike-Ask Damages
Against so Members
Bv C. S. GARRISON

Danville, Va. ILNS)-The latest
move of the textile mill bosses of
Danville to break the strike here is
to father damage suit against some
fifty members Of the union who are
supposedly property owners and
worth judgment against them.
Fifteen thousand dollars is asked for.
The suit was brought by one Sallie
Hudgins, mill worker, who formerly
was member of the union, but who
later turned into strikebreaker.
She alleges, in three counts, that she
was "forcibly deferred" from going
to her work by mill pickets; (2) that
she was "insulted and humiliated and
frightened" and CD assaulted by
pickets who "threw her away from
her automobile" as she attempted to
enter it to go to work. She asks
$4,000 on each count.
This move by the mill bosses has
aroused considerable amusement as
we'll as resentment among the citi
zens of Danville, knowing, as they
do, that the workers are destitute and
on the cold charity of the public for
food and shelter. They are asking
"who is financing the suit" as Sallie
Hudgins is only mill worker and
without money.

He was willing that the progress
should be slow. He knew all along
the way he would enjoy himself.
1t was holiday time and Tommy
made up his mind that he would find
the pond and the cave, and he hoped
he would see the old man.
Tommy's grandfather was delighted
ly excited over the idea. "Ill lend you
the stick used to take with me when
/ started on that trip-only hope you
will go all the way. Then, when you
come back you can tell me about It."
His grandfather's eyes shone at the
very thought.
SO bright and early one morning
Tommy started off, No one went
with him, for the few boys of his own
age didn't like the idea of such a
long, long tramp just for sight Of
the pretty pond and possible old
man and a possible treasure.
There's enough to do down by the
river here not to go all that way to
look for anything" they told him.
Besides. that story of the treasure
sounds foolish. There aren't any
treasures any more"

Suit Called Crude Bluff

Officers of the local union charac-
terize the suit as a crude bluff at
breaking the strike through court
agency. 1t is not believed the case
will come to trial. In any event, the
officers of the union say if it does
that a separate suit in each case will
be asked for Inasmuch as the COM
plant sets out the responsibility of
the union in the premises, attorneys
say suits will have to be filed against
every individual member of the union,
number approximately 4,500.
The morale of the strikers is still
high. Few defections are reported
among the membership, despite the
fact that food supplies have been low
and there is yet no coal to warm the
houses of the workers.
The reported moving of workers
from Alta Vista, Va, where textile
mill recently went into bankruptcy
leaving the workers destitute, to the
Danville mills is receiving the atten-
tion of the strikers here. The Alta
Vista workers have been cared for
by the Red Cross Society. Reports
are current that the Red Cross de-
cided that it would be better to put
these destitute workers in the Danville
mills, where they could work, rather
than be sustained at the expense of
the society. 1t is also reported au-
thoritatively that Hilton Hall, a DOR
mitory owned and managed by the
Dan River Mills, is being cleaned up
preparatory to housing the Alta Vista
workers, who will work as strike
breakers in that mill.
Red Cross Move Protested
Protests against the action of the
Red Cross in forcing strikebreakers
into the Danville situation have been
prepared Local union committees
are now ascertaining how many
workers from Alta Vista expect to
come to Danville. A delegation OF
strikers have gone to Alta Vista to
confer with the mill workers there.

A THOUGHT for SUNDAY
by
AMOS II. WELLS
Japanese
Gracefulness

The delegation of charming girls,
sent to thank our country for the re-
lief we sent to Japan in 1928 is one
of the finest examples of courtesy IN
all history. Japan did not need TO
cement further the cordial friend
ship between our two nations; but IL
she had been under that necessity
she could have chosen no abler set
of mbassadors. 1t is strange that
our country, possessing so many
women of wisdom, tact, and gra-
ciousness, has not yet placed one OF
them on such international commits
sions as those that have recently
been seeking the lessening OF the
waste and terrors of war.
We charge our forefathers with
sternness, yet the word grace IS
found far more frequently in their
writings than in ours. They were In
love with the grace of God as shown
through His Son. That grace is the
most fruitful source of graciousness
in human life.
THE words of wise mans mouth
are gracious.
