BREAD, BEANS
 FOR LONGEVITY

BELGRADE, Oct. 5.-Bread, beans and cheese may be the road to longevity.
 Pavel Biskup, young Czech doc tor who has spent two years study ing the reasons for the long lives of peasants and shepherds of a Balkan district, came to the pre- liminary conclusion it had to do with uniform diets that for gen. erations seem to have been espe- cially suited to the people

 One argumentative farmer chal- lenged the historical method of looking at horses teeth" He said the wrinkles on horses neck were the proper gauge of its years.

Is There A Vacancy
In Supreme Court? !?

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). - The
question is still perplexing Washing
ton of whether there is or is not a
vacancy in the Supreme Court. Is
Justice Van Devanter really out; or
is he just taking rest at $4,000 a
year?
The Constitution recognizes three
ways of emptying a judicial office
after it has been filled - death, inn
peachment, and resignation. The
Summers act undertakes to make re
tirement equal to resignation. Can it
do so? Under the act, Justice Van
Devanter may nevertheless be called
upon by the Chief Justice to perform
such judicial duties, in any judicial
circuit, including those of circuit
justice in such circuit, as such retired
justice may be willing to undertake"
What about it, is the question in
Washington, followed by another:
Is President Roosevelt delaying the
appointment of justice because there
is no place to appoint him?

More A. f. of L.
Membership Gains

Washington, D. G. (AFLNS)-The
continued onward march of the work
ers into bona fide trade unionism,
based on democratic procedure and
the sanctity of agreements negotiated
with employers, was again revealed in
the current membership report of the
American Federation of Labor made
public by Frank Morrison, secretary
treasurer of the Federation.
The figures showed that on August
6 the paid upon and reported mem
bership Of the 103 National and IN
ternational Unions and Local Unions
affiliated with the A. F. of L. was
3,143,016.
This was gain, Mr.. Morrison said,
of 702,940 over the average member
ship of the fiscal year ending Aug
ust 81, 1886.
The increase in membership aver
ages over $4,000 per month for the
last eleven months.
Mr.. Morrison pointed out that these
figures do not include the membership
of the ten National and International
Unions suspended September 5, 1886.
