 At Hades' Plug
 The highest temperature ever recorded in volcanic crater was registered in the "big pit" at An iakchak, later termed by Judge Wickersham the plug to Hades," by Father Hubbard and two of his associates, Chisholm and Levin, when heat sufficient to melt cop per, 1000 degrees, was found to exist. Special thermometers were used by Father Hubbard in the tests. instruments given to him by the Geographic Society in Washington. ,.
 At Mt Katmai a warm lake in the great crater was discovered to exist in 1nidwinter. New glaciers have formed on the rims and bergs are constantly breaking off from them to tumble into the lake and melt before the eyes of ob- servers. The Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes is now the valley of ten smokes, due to the disappear ance of most of the fumaroles that gave the region its original name and fame.
 Mt. ShishaIdin Difficult
 Mt Shishaldin, where eruptions continued through the Spring and Winter, was described as the most difficult to climb of all mountains he had ascef1ded. Cinders from slag discharged from vents in the side of the mountain offered un- stable footing for the explorers who made the last loo feet after more than an hour of hard labor.

Billiards Once Played
With Mallets as Cues

The origin Of billiards is obscured
In antiquity and Ia variously located
In conflicting accounts. Spain, France.
Italy and Germany all have been CIV
en- credit for developing the game.
In some cases a writer contradicts
himself on the subject. For In
stance, In Cotton's 'sCompleat
Gamester" 1t is said that this most
gentle, cleanly and ingenious game
was first played in Italy, but on an
other page Spain is fixed as its birth
place.
But for the origin Of the game 1t
probably is necessary to look far
back into history, for 1t Is said that
a king Of Ireland In the Second GEN.
tury left behind him 55 billiard balls
made of brass, together with cues
Of the same material.
Evidence indicates that the game
once was played on the lawn. like
modern croquet, and some authorities
contend that in this form it was In
troduced into Europe by the Crusaders
on their return from the East. The
ball was struck with q maIlet or d
large cue and rolled through hoops.
The hoops were replaced by pockets
when the game was placed on table
and brought indoors.-San Francisco

Glass Given to World
by Phoenician Sailors :?

The discovery OF glass, according to
the Roman, Pliny, was accidental.
Some Phoenician sailors, he relates.
with cargo Of carbonate of soda,
landed on the shore of Palestine. They
could find no stones on which to place
their cooking pots, SO they substi
tuted some Jumps Of their cargo for
the stones.
When the fires were glowing, the
carbonate Of soda melted and with the
sand Of the shore produced a trans
parent stream which quickly hardened.
This chain of circumstances, so Pliny
says, led to subsequent experiments
and the production Of glass.
According to Egyptologists, the an
cient Egyptians made sham Jewels of
glass at least 5000 years before Christ.
Scarabs Of glass. imitation rubies, en-
eralds, sapphires have been found In
old tombs. Glass beads were a medium
Of barter among many races.
In the days Of ancient Rome, 1t
Is said, glass was more precious than
gold or silver. The Emperor Hadrian
received as kingly gift several glass
cups sent by an Egyptian priest as a
peace offering. Nero paid, for two
glass cups with double handles, a sum
equal to $4,000.

In the trial the contractors asserted
that wages were in reality less than
those set up as prevailing" by the
labor commissioner. In conclusion
the decision said:
He (the employer) would be just
as safe in following his own opinion,
as IN the last analysis, under the
statutes attacked, the question as to
what is the current rate in the To-
cality would have to be determined by
a court or jury in each case as it
came up. His only protection in fol-
lowing the decision of the commits
sioner would lie in the fact that the
commissioner himself might not elect
to institute the prosecution. The
rights of the parties can not be per-
mitted to hang on such an arbitrary
and slender thread as this,
In the Connally case, the commits
sioner of labor attempted to make
an investigation concerning wages
paid, just as the commissioner did in
this case. He there claimed to be
acting under statute of Oklahom
which imposed on him the duty of
carrying into effect all laws with re-
lation to labor.
after his wage scale was pro-
mulgated he threatened prosecution
just as the commissioner did in this
case. The supreme court of the
United States, brushing aside his con-
tention, held that the statute on its
face was unconstitutional. We feel
nat we are bound by that decision.
"In view of the agreement of the
parties to submit this matter on the
merits, no order will be made with re-
gard to the interlocutory injunction
applied for, but a final decree will be
entered enjoining defendants as
prayed in plaintiffs original bill.
decree may be prepared by solicitors
for plaintiffs and after submission to
solicitors for defendants presented to
the court for final settlement and
entry"

WAGE FIXING BILL
KILLED BY VETO

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent Hoover has vetoed the Metcalfe
bill, under the provisions of which
the secretary of labor would have
been required to set the wages in
advance on all contracts and SUBJ
contracts for which the federal gov
ernment called for bids.
The measure went through under
sponsorship of the Associated Gen.
eral Contractors. 1t was opposed by
labor. Secretary of Labor Doak also
recorded his opposition.
Among many features objected to
was one providing that complaints
must be filed within ten days, an i'm
possibility in many cases. There was
objection also to the provision for pc
riodical review of wage rates, during
the life of contract by board of 20
workers, wages to go up or down ac-
cording as they might find fiuctua-
tions in the area surrounding the con-
tract job
Many building trades organizations
were suspicious of the bill because Of
its sponsorship, suspecting jokers, but
mainly their hostility was based on
definite and obvious Objectionable fea-
lures in the measure.

Compulsory Retirement
For Engine Drivers

London, Eng.-Officials of the
Great Western Railway Company
notified 300 of it's older engine driv-
ers that they must retire because of
the decrease of business. The men
are between the ages of go and 65.
The normal age of retirement is 65.
The men will receive pension of
one-fourth of their present wages plus
small amount from superannuation
fund. The compulsory retirement
plays havoc with the economic plans
of the engine drivers, all of whom ex-
pected to work until they were 65.
The men objected to the unequal
sacrifice. A man Of 60 will lose five
years wages, while man Of "a will
lose but one years wages.

15O,OO0,OOO For Relief
In New York Next Year

Patchogue, Long Island, N. Y
Public and private unemployment re-
lief in New York state from Noyem-
Der l, 1882, to November /, 1888,
would cost $150,0O0,0OO, Walter W.
Petit, executive director of the Tenn
porary Emergency Relief Admins
tration for New York state, told dele
gates attending the annual conven-
tion of the New York Association of
Public Welfare Officials here.
Declaring that private relief agen-
cies have practically exhausted their
means, he said that the $4,000, 900
bond issue to be voted in November
would be inadequate to provide relief
and that the state was depending
on receiving $30,00O,OO0 additional
from the federal government.

Ancient Myth Exploded

Shoes which went with feminine cos
tunes dating back to 1850, exhibited at
Bristol university, England, proved too
small for local women who served as
manikins. Which Is just further evi.
dence that womens feet have become
larger. The London Times suggests
that this Is due to the feminine desire
to appear youthful, large feet being
considered characteristic Of the ath-
letic younger generation. Thus dis
appears the tradition that small feet
are a sign OF aristocratic birth. This
idea grew up with the conquest Of
England by the Normans nearly a
thousand years ago. The conquerors
were slender, smali-boned people, while
the Saxons were mostly large.-Path-
finder Magazine.

The decision in the photo -engrav-

1--WE have been conscious of the
fact that in all things there has been
a great reduction both in the cost of
production and in the cost of pur-
chase within the last year. We ac-
cept that fact not only because of the
brief which you have given us, but
also from our personal knowledge
that the cost of living has generally
been reduced from IL to Is per cent.

PREVAILING
Wage Law of Texas is De.
cIared Invalid

Austin, Tex. (ILNS)-The Texas
prevailing rate of wages law has just
been declared invalid by the circuit
court Judge here, two district court
judges concurring. The law was at
tackled on two main grounds. The
current rate of wages" phrase was
held vague and the world "locality" as
defining the area in which the cur
rent rate was to be found is held too
indefinite.
The court based its decision largely
on the United States supreme court
decision in the case of Connally VS..
General Construction Co., 269 u. S.
1856, 70 law ed 322, an Oklahoma case,
well known to all who have dealt
with prevailing wage legislation and
a case well in mind during the draft
ing of the federal law on that SUBJ
ject.
What Law Provided
The Texas law assailed in this case
contained provision reading:
"Not less than the current rate of
per hour wages for like work in the
locality where the work is being per
formed shall be paid to the laborers,
workmen, mechanics or other persons
so employed or on behalf of the state,
or for any county, municipality or
other legal or political subdivision of
the state, county or municipality, and
every contract hereafter made for the
performance of work for the state. or
for any county, municipality, or other
legal or political subdivision of the
state, county or municipality, must
comply with the requirements of this
chapter"
The law likewise contained a pen
atty clause, providing for fine or i'm
orisonment.

Q.-Do unions have the initiative
and referendum?
A few have it, but in most un-
ions the convention system is pre-
ferred. The cigar makers, to cite an
example, abandoned it after years of
practice, on the ground that it re.
tarded progress.
Q.--Is the A. F. of L. officially in
favor of the six-hour day?
A.-No, the A. F. of l.. is officially
on record in favor of a work-day and
work-week adjusted to available en-
ployment.
