Heraldry Important in
Coin-Collecting Game

Coin collectors who specialize in
countries other than the United States
sooner or later run into a battling
maze Of technical, heraldic terms. II
the fever Is In the veins, there Is no
turning back, asserts a writer In the
Detroit News. One must either learn
something Of heraldry or else give up
collecting. Such knowledge might
stand one in good stead, for often q
coin can be identified only by the coat
of arms 1t bears.
Heraldic colors on coins are shown
by conventional lines. Gold Is shown
by dots, red by perpendicular lines,
blue by horizontal lines, green by d.
agonal lines from observers right to
left and black by perpendicular and
horizontal lines crossed. Silver or
white is shown by blank spaces, but
as the lines denoting colors are invar-
iably not cut In the dies, blank space,
unless there are other indicative lines,
does not necessarily mean the field is
silver.
The lines dividing shield have
specific names. A single perpendicu-
lar line divides a shield "per pale"
One drawn horizontally divides 1t per
fess." and a diagonal from observers
left to right, per bend" II divided In
to parts by lines drawn at right angles

CHAPTER XIII

The huge satisfaction felt by Ken
Hobart at his interference in other
peoples business was shattered now,
as he thought of Roberta, CARRIED In
riding breeches and flannel shirt and
wearing the conventional wide
brimmed and high-crowned hat of the
country. Riding along the skyline she
could very readily be mistaken for
man-and such mistakes, in the i'm
pending circumstances, might reason
ably be fatal! 1t was incumbent upon
him, therefore, to catch up with her,
to guard her approach to that old
branding corral in the valley. to make
her take every advantage of the
ground, to scout the territory for her.
Also, new and disturbing thought
had occurred to him. What IL Din
gle had decided to make sure of the
water for the sheep by taking posses
sion of the water-hole before Don
Jaime could get there? OF course IT
was unbelievable that the latter would
ride boldly up to the water-hole be-
fore making careful reconnaissance,
since instinct, the custom of the coun-
try, and his army training would in
dictate that course to him. On the
other hand, was Don james mind
completely on the task in hand? Was
it not probable that thoughts of a
sentimental nature might lull him into
indiscretion? Verify, Ken Hobart

FASTENED; and as he galloped along the
backbone of the ridge he was sicken-
ingly aware that he was not the only
one who was fastening.
There was Don Jaime, to begin
with, hurrying to get to the water
hole and consolidate his position. He
knew the country well and was hard.
fast rider. After him came, on hot
hoofs, his reinforcements-the de-
voted Julio. Duty was duty to Julio
and, as Don Jaime had stated, that
youthful retainer had a personal In

was pounding along on her fleet hunt

bart.
"If anything happens to tina, girl"
he told himself, "rll just keep right
on In the general southerly direction
and never come back"
The low range swung to the east
and suddenly, in cup-shaped valley
far below, Ken Hobart saw the sheen

the water-hole, and Julio was not in

Eeata of Strength

Breaking bars Of iron,- lifting huge
weights, driving nails through a g.
inch plank with his bare hands, and
holding 16 men in a tug-o'-war are
only a few Of the feats which VIII
frid Briton, a Bradford-born boy Of
twenty years of age performs. Other
little evidences of strength which Bril-
ton looks upon as being "all in the
days work" are the expanding OF
giant chest expanders and the lifting

took her fresh, lovely face In his
palms. Bobby" he said very serious
ly, remember me as the man who
never made love for fun" And he
kissed her on the lips and let her go.
Duly, she watched him swing into his
saddle and ride away; when he had
topped the ridge he pulled uI, looked
back and waved his hand. Then he
went over the skyline.
About three-thirty Ken Hobart and
Julio returned and found Roberta face
downward in the grass, sobbing as if
her heart must break. When she
raised her head at Hobart's touch it
occurred to the general manager that
it would require more than a little
rouge and powder to repair the dam
age done by those tears
where is the Big Boss?" he de-
manded in the matter-of-fact tone of
one who beholds nothing unusual.
Roberta held out couple of leaves
of paper-Don james battle plan. Ho-
bart read it. "The boy has some
sense after ALL" he decided. "Who
says this is dull country?" He
spoke to Julio.
"Si, senor," murmured Julio, and
rode away on Don james trail!
Ken Hobart, left alone with Roberta,
lit a cigarette, smoked it through in
silence, lit another, and waited. Then:
"Crying over the old man"
Roberta nodded, and added defen-
sively: I'm sure anybody would. Don
james so young and so fine, and if he
should get killed"
quite So" murmured Mr.. Hobart
However, we have one consolation.
He'll have lot of company on the

can do is to sing "By-by, Blackbirdr

"In heavens name why?"

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-The

October, the number of workers was
reduced to 594 in November. This
loss amount to eight-tenths of l per

in our manufacturing industries was
not increasing proportionately with
its increased contribution to society

LET'S DO A LITTLE
TURNING UP"
By JOHN J. MANNING

Secretary y-Treasurer, Union Label
Trades Department, A. F. of l..
Carlyle once said, "Our grand busi-
ness undoubtedly is, not to see what
lies dimly at a distance, but to do
what clearly lies at hand"
The truth of this philosophy was
never more applicable to our great
labor movement than at the present
time. Because of unemployment over
a long period of time, it is only nat
ural that thousands of members are
discouraged and can see no good in
trade unions.
Blaming the unions gets US no
where. What is sorely needed is to
arouse ourselves out of the Macawber
spirit of waiting for something to
turn up" and do little turning up
on our own account.
The trade unions have accomplish
ed wonderful work in sharing labor
and otherwise aiding our unemployed
members and we are the only group
which has done this work of reliet
voluntarily.
What is needed now is an intensive
drive to increase membership anc
strengthen our unions, for trade un-
ions can be made the most potent
power in bringing back and stabiliz.
ing good conditions, if we all do oul
share in the pressing need of imme-
diately building them to full strength
In addition to organizing new
members, we can, also, organize our
purchase power by buying only union
made goods and demanding unior
service. Give this suggestion a thor.
ough trial and watch the beneficial
results that are sure to follow.

r. F. C. Failure Charged
TAX PAID
On Autos Hits Wage Earn
ers and Big Farm Area
By B. C. CLARKE

Washington, D. C. ULNS)-Tax-
ing automobiles out Of the hands Of
people of ordinary means has been
chosen by railroads and traction con-
Germs as a means for rebuilding their
revenues, and putting themselves back
into their public be damned" position
of few years ago.
In almost every state Of the Union
they are striving for higher taxes
upon motor vehicles, notwithstanding
the fact that hundreds of thousands
of people depend upon this traffic for
their livelihoods, and much larger
number Of wage earners are depend
ent upon small cars for transporta-
ton to and from their jobs.
Many of them have moved into sub
urban districts or into the country,
where living costs are less, because
of the ease with which they could
travel in their own vehicles. But
mounting taxes, encouraged and fos-
tered by railway and traction inter-
ests, are threatening to drive them
back into the congested areas.
Farmers Big Truck Users
The railroads claim that the objec-
tive of their attack is the truck and
the bus. The simple facts are that
farmers use 26 per cent Of all motor
trucks registered. Of all the trucks
in use, only one per cent are engaged
in interstate commerce; 4.45 per cent
in intrastate traffic; 81 per cent are
contract carriers, and 85.8 per cent
are privately owned.
The 100000 trucks registered in
1881 were owned by 100000 indi-
viduals, of whom 2,200,0 900 owned only
one truck.
Traffic surveys indicate that the
majority of truck movements are be-
tween 40 and 60 miles, while the great
volume of truck movement is within
a limit of 120 miles.
Railroads complain of the competi-
tion of trucks with their business, but
they say nothing of the great volume
Of freight brought to them and dis
tributed for them by trucks, nor dc
they refer to the fact that their vol
ume Of freight in recent years could
not have been handled by horses and
drays without tremendous expan.
sion in railway terminal facilities, and
great congestion and loss of time in
loading and unloading cars.
The truck has virtually done away
with the old time freight warehouse
in cities and at way stations of the
size of tobacco market warehouse
or a steamship pier, and reduced the
idle time of freight cars by a tre-
mendous degree. No longer is there
need for loading and unloading tracks
that cover blocks and blocks in cities
Trucks have become the greatest con.
veniences and money-savers Of mod.
ern times TO the railroads.
