QHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
NUTMEGS

THE popular superstition about nut
H. megs is that, pierced and hung
about the neck in the manner of
charm, they are a cure for various
physical Ills. Not long ago school
teacher advised her pupils to wear
nutmegs in this manner to prevent
coldsores, and the daughter Of New
Hampshire legislator wore one for
night and day to cure earache.
Though different sections select off
ferent diseases for which the nutmeg
Is most recommended the general be-
lief is that nutmegs are eficacious In
all diseases. The key to the supersti-
tion is found In the name of the
genus Of plants to which the nutmeg
belongs, which is myristica from the
Greek work myristikos, meaning '6t
for amounting" Though native Of
the islands of the Indian seas the nut
meg, or It's kin, appears to have found
its way, though sparingly, to Egypt
and the eastern shores of the Mediter
ranean when it became known to the
Greek communities Of Asia Minor and
received It's Greek name. 1t was the
oil produced from the covering of the
kernel of the nutmeg which was "suit-
able for amounting" and 1t was that
figure of speech known as metonomy
which extended the name myristikos
to the whole fruit.
Originally amounting had three pur-
bodily health and comfort,
honor, and conservation. Reasoning
by analogy the best authorities con-
slider the most ancient use to have
been for purposes of health. The
"school-marm" advising her pupils
to wear nutmegs around their necks
to prevent coldsores furnishes an ex-
ample of primitive sanitary idea de-
generated through the long ages into a
popular superstition.

TRANSFERS SEEK
CONTRACT
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Oregon Employers Ask Injunc-
ton to Bar Discharged En-
ploye From Delivering Ice in
Certain District.

Portland, Ore. QLNS)-A case in
volving a phase of the yellow dog"
contract and one vitally affecting the
interest of several thousand drivers
in the state is now before the Oregon
courts. According to B. w Mccall
lum, president of the Joint Council of
Teamsters and Drivers Unions of the
Portland district, the case will prob
ably be carried to the supreme court
of the state in order to obtain a def
mite decision on the points involved.
In this case the Ice Delivery Co.
is seeking an injunction to prevent
F. B. Iorns from conducting an inde-
pendent delivery of ice in the terri
tory in which he formerly made deliv-
cries for the plaintiff company. Iorns
signed contract which provided that
he should not, for a period of two
years after leaving the employ of the
company, engage in ice delivery in
the district which was assigned him
by the company. The contract con-
tanned no specific pledge against be-
coming a member of a labor union.
On May II Iorns joined drivers un-
ion and on May IA he was discharged,
no reason being given by the COM
pany. Later he engaged in independ-
ent delivery and the application was
made for an injunction. A temporary
order was issued but Iorns ignored it
and the company made no attempt to
cite him for attempt, but now the case
has been argued before Presiding
Judge Stevenson, who will render
decision. Meantime Iiorns is deliv-
ering ice.
The case was taken up by the Driv-
ers' Joint Council, which employed
Attorney B. A. Green. Both sides
cited numerous authorities bearing
upon every phase which might enter
into the case, but briefly the determi-
nation of the case hinges upon
whether or not the contract is con-
trary to public policy. This question
has never been fully determined by
the Oregon supreme court.
The argument to have the contract

and her allies, is sought by Italy. An
other objective is to make the Adri-
attic Sea an italian lake"
The French press is filled with anti
Italian sentiment. Cables from Eu-
rope indicate that no one seriously
believes there will be war, but Mus
solini's ranting shows what he would
do if he had the natural resources.
Italy, as present considered, is not
frst-class country She lacks coal
iron and oil, and must import wheat.
She must depend in large measure
upon Great Britain, for if that coun-
try closed the Straits of Gibraltar and
the Suez Canal the flow of food and
raw material to Italy would be
stopped.

UNION STORY
Heard By Southern Work.
ers i'm Mass Meetings

Birmingham, Ala - Trade union
mass meetings in various Southerl
areas continue to be we'll attended
according to reports to A. F. of L
Southern headquarters.
The doctrine of self-help and self
reliance that is stressed by labor or
ganizers is new theory to many
workers who have been reared in ar
opposite environment
Our campaign is educational as
we'll as an organizing effort" said
Paul j. Smith, chairman A. F. of L.
Southern organizing committee. eve
receive requests almost daily for
speakers to assist in these educational
mass meetings, and our best organ
ized units develop out Of these
efforts"
Many merchants in the Gadsden
and Admission (Ala) district have
made public avowal of their faith in
organized labor. These merchants
have had a disastrous experience with
the low-wage, anti-union system that
reduces the purchasing power of
workers.
Danville, Va, reports a labor chau-
tauqua, where the message of labor
will be told. The plan is attracting
general attention and will be copied
elsewhere.
Trade unionists in charge of the
Southern campaign frankly declare
that their fight is not an easy one,
but they point to substantial gains
that are being made, and they insist
that lasting foundation, in the form
of education, is laid for the future.

Monday and Tuesday of next week
are to be great days in the calendar
of the union bricklayers, masons and
plasterers of Ohio. And especially so
will they be proud days for the Ham
ilton members of these unions, for on
Monday and Tuesday the Ohio State
Conference of the Bricklayers', Ma
sons and Plasterers' Unions will
gather together for their twenty fifth
annual convention here in Hamilton
Being the twenty-ffth gathering of
the conference, it is looked upon by
the members as a silver jubilee event
and will be celebrated as such, with
the Hamilton local unions as hosts.
And it might be added that the
Hamilton unionists have been busily
engaged for months preparing for the
event. All arrangements are complet-

declared void was made on the
ground that a state statute declares
that the right to work shall not be
considered property right but is a
human right. Attorney Green showed
the injustice of such contract as
enabling the employer to discharge
a driver after one day Of service and
then prevent the driver from securing
work at that trade for a period of
years. He also argued that the con-
tract lacked mutuality by reason of
the driver being deprived of the right
to work in a given territory if the
employer should become insolvent
and cease to continue business.
The decision in this case will de
termine the degree of success of an
organizing campaign which the driv-
ers are now and have for some time
been conducting. c. NJ. Dahlager,
representing the international union,
and officials of the five local unions
are engaged in an intensive drive for
members Two new unions have been
organized, one of them numbering its
membership in the hundreds, and the
membership of the older unions has
been materially increased.
The present application for an in
junction is believed to be the first
step by employers in care

to unionization of the drivers
throughout the state.

HUNDREDS IDLE
Because of Shutdown Of
Big Hosiery Mill

Philadelphia (ILNS)' Fourteen
hundred hosiery workers, recently re-
turned to their jobs after a five
month strike, were thrown out of
work, with the shutdown of the H. C.
Aberle mill.
Payroll expenditures of $4,000
weekly are lost to the merchants of
the Northeast by the shutdown, which
was announced to be indefinite"
The general industrial depression
affecting the full fashioned hosiery
industry is responsible for the halt in
the mills operation. The thought
that the Aberle company was taking
the first step in a plan to move the
plant South was secuted. This plan
was rumored during the strike as de-
cided upon by the company.
"There would be no point in NOV
ing the plant" Alexander McKeown,
president of the Philadelphia branch
of the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery workers, declared,
"because Southern mills, even though
they boast of cheap and contented
non-union labor, also are feeling the
i'll effects of the depression. The
Aberle shutdown is just another trag-
edy blamable on poor business condi-
tions rampant throughout the coun-
try"
Little hope is held for early re-
sumption of operations and the re-
turn of the mill employees to their
machines. McKeown declared the de-
preston in the hosiery business orig
mated around January l and no sun
shine" is expected until October /.

Meals can be cooked on the run by
an automatic cooker described in
Modern Mechanics. The cooker is
mounted on the rear bumper of the
motor tourists car, and an extension
from the exhaust pipe connected up
with it. The cooker contains steam

the hot exhaust gases. An hours
drive is said to be quite sufficient to
thoroughly cook meats and vegetables.

Herewith we present splendid
likeness of George Koch, Sr., for al
years a member of the local Brick
layers Union. He is the only living
member of that little band of men
who, early in February, 1869, gather
ed and formed what is now Brick
layers Local Union No. IL, and of
which union he has the honor and
distinction of being treasurer for
twenty-five years.
Known for his sterling character,
his kindly nature, his keen interest
in the welfare of all those with
whom he comes in contact, he is liked
and respected by all who know him.
Of him it can be truthfully said, "He
is a real union man" He is one of
those kind-once a union man, always
a union man. Would that we had
many more like him, and may he see
many more happy years of useful life.
