us. Rail Union Chief
Says He Can Cut Pay

LONDON, England. Dec. 49,
Union leaders yesterday declared
that a strike on all British railways
before Jan. 1, seems inevitable, in
the dispute over proposed wage cuts.
However, they agreed through
John Bromley, president of the En-
ginemen's Union, to negotiate fur
ther with Sir Joseph Stamp and Sir
Walter Wedgewood, representing
the employers.
Postpone Irish Cut.
BELFAST, Ireland, Dec. 18.-The
definite stand of north Irish rail-
way workers for strike rather than
a new wage cut, has caused the
companies to postpone the announc-
ed cut for one month.
Whitney Says He Can Cut.
CHICAGO, H., Dec. 1s.-A dec
laration by A. F. Whitney, spokes-
man Of the delegation of 1900 rail-
way union chairmen here that he
had unlimited authority to negoti
ate an extension of the ten per cent
wage cut agreement, expiring Jan.
81, 1885," ended until Monday the
sessions of the union representatives
and company officials here Saturday
The railroad workers were not
consulted by their union representa-
tives as to what they might think
of continuation of the wage cut.
The only argument before the
negotiators is whether the cut
should be continued another year, as
contended by the union leaders %
or last only six months, as contended
by the railway companiesl
1t looks as though compromise
would be made.

ruins of the oldest town in the
world" dating back to 300 B. c.,
are pushing their spades into older
and deeper levels at the same site
A cabled report just received here
from the expedition at Tepe Gawra,
in northern Mesopotamia, announces
discovery of buildings in the under
lying stratum
The excavation, directed by
Charles Bache, is under auspices OF
the university of Pennsylvania
Museum and the American Schools
of Oriental Research.
Among the buildings uncovered is
temple similar in architecture to
the famous shrines of the 300 B. G
layer The workmanship is less ad-
vanced in the earlier temple, Bache
states. In the central chamber is
pedestal base upon which stood
the statue of the principal deity
during important celebrations.
Two tombs of this period are OF
particular interest, antedating the
royal tombs of Ur," says the cable
Among the most noteworthy finds
from these tombs may be men

lapis labuli in lozenge patterns and
trimmed with bands of gold"

Persia's cancellation Of the Anglo
Persian OIL Company's concession
was intended to give Persia a just
share of her own natural resources.
and no rival oil companies we're
involved, political leaders here told
the United Press.
Denial that other oil companies
we're seeking the concession, one of
the most important links in the
worldwide British system of naval
fuel supplies, was supported gem
orally in diplomatic circles. For
eign newspapers had limited that
powerful interests, and perhaps
governments, were involved in the
cancellation.
The United Press interviewed
Persian business leaders and for
eignerS in business here, without
discovering the slightest indication
that Soviet Russia or any foreign
power was interested in the oil dis
pute between Persia and Great
Britain.
Although it was limited openly in
London newspapers that Moscow
was involved, the Soviet government
appeared to be adhering to
strictly hands off" policy.
The trend of comment by Mos
COW newspapers was that the af-
fair indicated decline of British
prestige in the near east.
The United Press was informed
by high governmental source that
Persia is ready to meet any move
by Great Britain looking toward di-
rect negotiations with the oil COM
pany for settlement of the dispute.
Persia now is hopeful, in fact, that
the controversy may be settled in
give spirit.

a DAY
~ BRUCE CATION

TIME delightful old question OF
i what would better be done
about sex comes up for extended
and slightly confused discussion in
fat new book, Sex in the Arts,
written by bakers dozen of novel
lists, artists, critics, and what-not
and edited by j. F. McDermott and
Kendall B. Taft.
Surprising as you may find it, a
good many of the writer's here rep
resented do not feel that sex is
finding full expression in many of
the arts these days.
Modern music. Paul Resented
explains, deals less with sex than
at any time in generations. The
drama, says Elmer Rice, for all its
seeming preoccupation with the
theme, really lags far behind the
novel in its treatment of it.
Modern poetry, according to
Henry Morton Robinson. is crippled
sadly because its sex expression is
SO largely limited to an expression
of an outworn and inadequate ro-
manticism.
The moving picture, says Struth-
ers Burt, has chosen to concentrate
on mere fleshy allure and hence, in
the artistic sense, does not really
deal with sex at all!
Oddly enough, the book points out
that journalism and advertising
seem to have more freedom in the
discussion of sex than. any other
forms of expression.
The book as a whole is woefully
uneven and not a little confusing
1t does contain a few chapters
including, notably, an attack by
Ernest Boyd on the modern school
of biography-which are eminently
worth reading.

DROSAICALLY, an air label
= merely tags a piece of baggabe,
but to the imaginative collector it
represents the joyous adventure of
an air journey. Miss Martin says
that the Australian and South Afri-
can airlines use the largest labels
and feature scenery.
An airline in Maine and one in
Canada use the smallest ones, while
Italy, noted for beautiful stamps,
has the most artistic stickers. A
collection of these labels from vari-
Gus countries is very decorative and
always attracts much interest.
1t not only is very beautiful and
colorful, but also portrays the scope
of flying and the progress of avia-
ton.
Undoubtedly the hobby has the
same infectious allure that capti-
Yates and holds the evergrowing
multitude Of stamp collectors, for
baggage labels as well as stamps are
symbols of travel.
AS mans conquest of the air is
the thrilling story of the most mod
ern methods of transport, so the COL
Letting of air baggage labels is
pictorial of the adventure and ro-
nance of this mode of travel.

Face to Face With Santa Claus
Il felt very solemn when only a
month ago I stood silently before
the tomb of the great patron of
children in the Church of San
Nicola in Bari, Italy. Here, be-
meath the silver altar of the
church are buried the bones of
Saint Nicholas, who died at his
bishopric in Myra, Asia, Dec. g.
342 A. D. The mortal remains of
the saint were carried away on
May 8, 1887, and brought here to
be inferred in the crypt.
The patron saint of many pic
turesque and varied vocations is
remembered chiefly for his assO-
citation with Christmas, but here
in his adopted home town. the day
of Santa Claus is curiously enough
not Christmas, but May S. when
great crowds of pilgrims celebrate
his festival with splendor and
piety.

TINE airplane has been such a
Il dominant factor in our present
day life that it is not surprising to
find hobbies arising from this mod
ern wonder. The making of model
airplanes is one popular phase and
collecting first flight covers and
crash mail are others, but the least
known and most novel is the col
Letting of air baggage labels.
When passengers embark on an
air journey, handsome stickers car
rying the name of the air line are
pasted on their baggage. To have
many of these labels on the travel
ing bag is considered the last word
in sophistication.
In 1928, a Chicago air pilot, in
fected with the hobby bug, as he
collected stamps, decided he would
try to get baggage labels from each
of the lines then in operation. 1t
was not a difficult task to secure
complete collection of the labels
for at that time there were only
fifteen varieties.
Nothing tells more clearly the ire
mendous strides taken in CONNER
cial aviation than the fact that to-
day. counting the air lines operating
over the entire world, there are
about 800 varieties of air baggage
labels.
TINE hobby became popular with
Il air pilots and their friends and
now has quite a following. One of
the most ardent collectors is Miss
Stephanie Martin of New York City.
She has some of the first labels used
on the K. L. M. lines, known as the
Royal Dutch Air Lines of Holland,
first air transport company in the
world running on regularly estab-
lished schedule and the first to use
labels.
The Curtis Flying Service was the
first air transport in the United
States to use labels on passenger
baggage, and they were in use long
before the regular air routes were
established in this country. Both of
these lines are in operation now
and have used many varieties of
labels.
The most interested collectors,
who naturally are air-minded trav-
elers, have formed a coalition and
are to publish a catalog listing the
varieties and setting value on
them. Some of the enthusiasts are
merchandising the labels in much
the same way that stamps and coins
are Soda small amount over the
actual cost of handling, for many of
the labels are obsolete and can be
obtained only from collectors.
Foreign labels are the most diff
cult to procure and in many cases
are valuable, as are the early types
used by lines in the United States.
1t is thrilling to visualize the
possibilities of air travel. In 1911
the first flight across our continent
took forty days. Now we can cross
in twenty-four hours. Only thirteen
years ago when a plane left London
it's only possible foreign destination
was Paris. Now planes running on
regular schedule make the 5000
miles to Karachi, India, in six days.
