Work of Roman Empire

The Roman empire brought within
one great political unity all the peo
pies and civilization Of the Mediter-
ranean basin. The elements from the
Older Orient, from the Greeks and from
the Hebrews by way of Christianity,
were all given chance to spread and
mingle under Roman government and
Roman law. The ideal of one rule for
the civilized world survived In the
medieval empire and the Roman Cath
ollie church. Many of the principles
and even the details of Roman law re-
appear in the law Of all the nations
today. The combined oriental, Greek,
Christian, and Roman civilization was
impressed on formerly barbarian
groups In western Europe, and Its es-
sentials survived into the Middle ages
to become part OF the foundation Of
our modern life.

First Presidents Plan
Carried Out by Others

In his will George Washington left
SO shares Of stock In the Potomac
(CanaD company for the endowment
of university, to be established in
the District of Columbia, ito which the
youth of fortune and talents from all
parts thereof might be sent for the
completion Of their education in all the
branches Of polite literature-in arts
and science, In acquiring knowledge in
the principles of politics and good gov
ernment." In furtherance of that hope
and project Of the first President Of
the United States, Columbian college,
now named the George Washington
university, was established. The stock
which General Washington willed
toward such an institution became
valueless owing to the failure of the
canal properties, and it was necessary
for "the college," established I'm the
District of Columbia, to obtain funds
from other Washington Star.

Simple Rules for the
Preservation of Sight

According to the National Society
for the Prevention of Blindness, one
half of all blindness is preventable
Science has now discovered all its ma
jor causes. 1t remains for such public
spirited organizations as the national
society to educate the public in pre-
vention. To minimize the hazards to
sight follow these simple rules:
Read with clear, good light falling
from above over your left shoulder.
Hold your book or paper about IA
inches from your eyes
Always read with your head up.
Keep book or paper clean; a soiled
page Is hard to read
Avoid books printed indistinctly, in
small type or on glossy paper.
Rest your eyes frequently.
II your eyes ache, or If you have
trouble In seeing things distinctly. have

Waterspout Feared az
Dread Living Monster

The waterspout. though 1t still ap-
peals strongly to the imagination Of
mankind, and though popular fall
lacies about 1t are still rife, is hardly
a mystery to man Of science or to
the educated seaman; but go back a
few centuries and you find 1t the sub
Ject OF fantastic beliefs and specula-
tions. Most authorities saw In 1t a
living monster OF some sort: religious
rites and various noiss-making proc
esses were the customary methods Of
driving 1t away.
The gross superstitiops and the
gross ignorances have been swept
from the sea but that is not to say
that mankind approaches fnality Of
knowledge with respect to the ways
of nature, either by sea or land.
Science Is forever climbing up the
climbing wave" and perhaps will con-
tinue to do so to the end Of time

Period of Joyfulness
Has Biblical Sanction

We are all familiar with the say
Ing, Eat, drink, and be merry" which
Is popular in modern speech to ex-
press having good time. Let US
eat, drink and be merry" is synony-
nous with ''let US celebrated"
Their first use In their present
form Is In the Book Of Luke and In
the parable of the rich man. There
we find:
"And I say to my soul, Soul thou
hast much goods laid up for many
years; take thine ease, eat, drink and
be merry"
However, the ultimate origin Of the
saying goes back further than the
Book of Luke In the Old Testament,
its form is identical except for the
word "joyfup instead Of merry" In
Eccl 8:15, we note:
Therefore do praise joyfulness
that there is nothing better for man
under the sun than to eat and to drink
and to be joyful; for this will adhere
to him In his toll during the days Of
his life which God hath given him un-
der the sun. kansas City Times.

Umbrella Idea Ancient

If you think the umbrella Is COM

its owner from the rain, you are quite
wrong. At gathering of umbrella
makers Of Paris, copies Of umbrellas
owned by famous men and women
even In ancient times, were shown. A
beautiful white one, edged with a bor-
der OF pink, reminiscent Of beaches in
summer, belonged to Salamazar II Of

one used by Charlemagne. The para
sol. however, did not come into use
until the Sixteenth century.-Ex-

History of the Dance

The origin of dancing may be traced
emotion by action. AS far into an
tiquity as history reaches, every
dance, whether belonging to civilized
or savage nations, was accompanied
by music, or by rhythmic beats on the
drums, shells, rattles, sticks, or by
clapping the hands. Records show In
a general way that in the very earliest
times people danced and sang at the
same time; afterward some danced
while others sang an accompaniment,
and finally musical instruments took
the place of voice accompaniment.

Houses for the Soul

To get peace, IL you do want 1t,
make for yourselves nests of pleasant
thoughts. None of us yet know, for
none of us have been taught In early
youth what fairy palaces we may build
of beautiful thoughts-proof against
all adversity-bright fancies, satisfied
memories, faithful sayings, treasure
houses of precious and restful thoughts
which cannot disturb, nor pain, make
gloomy, nor poverty take away from
us-houses built without hands for our
souls to live in.--John Ruskin.

PURITY BAKERY
Unfair to Bakers Union
Employs Professional
Strikebreakers and
Declares Open Shop

The strike of the local baker Jour-
neymen iii three of Hamiiton's bak-
ing plants against the lowering of
wages and working conditions, and
which has been on during the past
month, has been satisfactorily ad-
justed in two of the plants, leaving
but one plant in which the rights of
the workers are not recognized.
Philip Milillo, 802 Heaton street, and
Geier's Bakery, 803 Central avenue,
signed the agreement with the union
patronage of organized labor and
friends.
The Banner Grocers' Baking Co.
purity Bakeries Corp.) is the one
concern which steadily refuses to
treat with the Bakers Union, declar-
ing instead that it prefers to conduct
it's business to SUIT ITSELF, WITH
OUT ADVICE FROM THE UNION,
in fact, on the "open shop" plan. The
union charges the Purity Company
has brought in professional strike
breakers for the purpose of carrying
out it's plan to defeat the program
of the union bakers for living wages
and decent working conditions Un-
der the plan Of the Purity Company,
with thousands of men and women
out of work, it's employees would have
to work miserably long hours and at
low wages and which, if permitted to
continue, would eventually affect the
ideal conditions of workers in other
plants, compelling them, too, to work
under near degrading conditions.
Such situation must not be per-
mitted to exist and grow in Hamil-
ton. All that the union bakers ask of
idea conditions of workers in other
the union men and women and all
fair minded citizens, is that they lend
their moral support to maintain fair
and decent living conditions in Hamil-
ton in this struggle with concern
owned by outsiders who have no in
terest in Hamilton other than what
they can get out of it. The Bakers
Union asks only that the people of
Hamilton refrain from buying the
product of the Purity Company,
whose chief article is Taystee bread.
To be sure that your baked goods are
not produced by strikebreakers, that
they are union-made and therefore
give assurance of being clean, made
in clean surroundings, watch for and
see that they bear the little label of
the Bakers Union.
Much credit is due Mr. j. Zamford,
of Chicago, general organizer of the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
International Union, for the fine and
successful manner in which he has
carried on negotiations between en-
ployer and employe to date. He ap-
peared before Trades Council last
week and explained to the delegates
in detail the whole situation, and ask
ed for the moral support of the local
movement in this struggle of his
organization. He was well received
and given the assurance of every
support.
Pass the word along the line and
buy only union-made baked goods,
and give this foreign-owned baking
concern to understand that it's stand
against the efforts Of the Bakers
Union to maintain decent living con-
ditions in Hamilton is not to be toll
