Many a heart is hungry, starving,

And the world is brighter, better
For the loving words we say.

Art Of Ancient People
Uncovered by the Wind

There are several islands off the
coast Of California which are rich with
archaeological treasures. They were In.
habited hundreds Of years ago by q
tribe Of people who had some consid.
cradle artistic ability and who have
left great deal of their handiwork.
They have been investigated In recent
years by "A. r. Sanger Of Los Angeles
who makes peculiar report concern.
Ing the island of San Clement, located
50 miles of the coast. He says the
wind Is blowing the island away, as
tons Of sand are carried off every day
and deposited In the sea. This action
has been the means Of uncovering speci-
mems of stone carving which have
great interest to archeologists. This
island and others further north sup
ported an active native population at
the time that Cabrillo first sailed into
the California waters, but within 400
years thereafter the islanders became
an extinct race. Efforts have been
made to have the federal government
set these islands aside as national
monument and thus preserve their
treasures for future study.

St. Sophia's Long Held
Wonder of the World

In 70 A. d. Christianity was hardly
recognized as even a cult. 1t was not
until 43 A. D. that st. Peter 10 sup
posed to have gone to Rome, and after
the twenty-five years of Peter" his
martyrdom was still more than ten
years prior to the great vesuvian erup-
tion.
Later by 28S years, however Chris
tianity had won toleration, and little
later became the religion Of the en-
pire. In fact, 1t Is said that Rome's
paganism was one Of the reasons why
Constantine decided to found Constan-
tinople as a new and Christian cap.
ital, which became the center Of all
Christian activities In the East. Nat
urally enough, almost exactly two GEN.
turies later, st. Sophia's took form as
the church surprising all others In
splendor, and 1t still remains one of
the great monuments Of architecture.
1t was begun 1,400 years ago, and was
dedicated December 25, 598. Captured
In 1453 by Mohammedans, 1t became
a mosque, with its wonderful mural
decorations and emblemat1cally carved
marbles covered with plaster.

TOBIN HEADS DEMO
LABOR COMMITTEE

New York.-James A. Farley, ma
tional chairman of the democratic
party, announced the appointment of
Daniel Tobin as chairman of the
democratic campaign labor commit

Mr.. Tobin has been president of the
international Brotherhood of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America, whose headquar-
ters are at Indianapolis, Ind, since
1907, and for many years has edited
the official journal of that organiza-
ton. He was member Of the ex-
ecutive council and treasurer of the
American Federation Of Labor from
1917 to 1928.
He was delegate from the A. F.
of L. to the British Trades Union
Congress of 1911 and to the 1918
congress of the international FEEDER
alton Of Trade Unions at Amster-
dam, member Of President Wilson'S

relations with the scale conference
committee of Typographical Union
No. and announced that the wage
scale arbitration would be conducted
henceforth exclusively with officials
of the international Typographical
Union and it's president, Charles P.
Howard.
The parley between the publishers
and local union officials was dead
locked when the publishers refused
to consider six-hour day as one of
the questions to be arbitrated along
with the question of arbitration of
wages on a new contract. The old
contract expired in July, 1929, but
has been in effect since then because
of continuation clause.
The union members rejected, two to
one, referendum on wage arbitra-
tlon because the ballot contained a
clause which would have made vote
IN favor of extending the fve-day
week for anot..e year instead of the
ninety-day periods in which it is in
force at present.
