have managed to prevent any ma jor disturbances.
 Injunctions Stymied
 Efforts of the unioniStS to get an injunction restraining police from interfering with strike and organizational activities have been temporarily stymied on a point of court jurisdiction. Mayor Robert Maestri and Acting, Police Super intendent John Grosch, who have been cited in the action, will tes- tify at the deferred hearing Tues day.
 L. M. Lovett, a CIO organizer, and two striking cab drivers were arrested while picketing. Frank Toye, president of the Yellow Cab Co.,, said he would not operate pending a discussion with an em- ployes' committee. He said, how ever that he did not propose to deal with outsiders"
 Pledge Cards Returned
 City attorneys returned 300 pledge cards signed by longshore- men which were seized in raid on CIO headquarters. Those and other papers taken in the raid formed the basis for National Labor Relations board investiga- ton. The board postponed a hear ing into another inter union dis pute over longshoremen and began an investigation into the seizure.
 CIO attorneys filed 18 affldavits against police with department of justice authorities who also are making an inquiry.
 Both houses of the legislature at Baton Rouge unanimously con- demned tactics of the strikers and Communist labor agitation in New Orleans" They criticized "alien en- issaries and agitators who have been sowing the seeds of commu- nism."
 Brophy Attacked
 Rep. J. c. Buie said that John Brophy, CIO director who came here to direct strike activities should be thrown into the Missis- sippi river. He said that Brophy fresh from the soviet, would in- cite riot and bloodshed.
 Rep. James McCurnin charged that Brophy is the executive di- rector of the Communist rarty in the United States"
 Felix Siren, an organizer "de- ported" by police, notified John L Lewis, chairman Of the CIO, from Mobile that unless federal author ities intervened immediately "tc preserve civil rights" there would be certain bloodshcd" here.

EIGHT SECURITY WORKERS DROPPED

Collector Thomas s. Smith report ed yesterday that because of lack of funds, eight employees in the Social Security division of the h. ternal Revenue Bureau in Hartford had been dropped. Their services are not so essential as formerly Smith said. because the work of verifying tax returns, on which they were engaged, is now nearly com pleted.
 None of the employees in the local branch of the Internal Revenue Bureau have been dropped yet, and in all probability none will be at this time.

Seminoles to Bring Strange
Rites Into Open for Public

MIAMI, Fla, Aug 20.-Ceremonia,
drums from the mysterious depths of
the Everglades will beat for the first
time in history before an audience OF
white spectators next month when the
Seminole Indians enact their unusual
religious and tribal rites in a public
pageant here.
Two hundred braves, accompanied
by their squaws and children, will
stage ancient tribal ceremonies in the
Orange Bowl Stadium on September
Is under an agreement pledged by
chieftains and medicine men of South
Florida tribes.
The Orange Bowl will be trans
formed into realistic Seminole viii
lage with palmetto-thatched huts and
blazing camp fires for the occasion.
Rituals to be enacted include the
"Shot-cay-taw," the feast of SORROW
ing. rejoicing and publication; the
"In-sha pit" when the young Indians
are initiated into the ranks Of war
riors, and the hunting dance, which
is held after the annual harvest.
Spectators also will see for the first
time the strange mate-choosing ritual
in which the young braves select their
brides by pursuing them over pre-
viously arranged course.
The colorful rites will have historical
significance as the closest step ever
taken by the Seminoles toward &C

Tourists Find Out Why Tricolor of
France Flies in Quebec.

requires an acknowledgement every

The train in no case may start until

IN TOURS of the Province of Quebec
= it is fairly common to see the tri-
color of France flying from unoficial
stats, as if it were a bid for politi-
cal afiliation or the conformation of
an existing union. The province )
guides and tourist bureau personnel
have become used to answering the
question of why the tricolor is raised,
and their explanation SINNERS down
to this:
A proposal that the tricolor be des-
ignated the Official flag of French
Canada was proposed in 1912 by q
Swiss Protestant named Aubin, before
the general assembly of Quebec's Saint
Jean Baptist Society, but even the
French Canadians opposed it. The
motion was defeated and the issue
dropped into relative obscurity.
But in 1884 the union jack and the
tricolof floated In the breeze together
throughout Britain's far-fiung empire
The occasion was the celebration of
the victories Of Alma, Balaklava and
1nkermann, won by England from
France in the Crimean War. The
next year occurred the event that
deeply touched Canadians of French
ancestry and really gave rise to the
use of the tricolor as a custom-the
British admiralty, after nearly a CEN
fury. permitted the French warship
La Capricieuse to sail up the st. Law
renee as far as Quebec, and the ship
was hailed by the English as well as
the French in q cordial welcome.
French flags from the celebration of
the year before were broken out and
sentimental ties Of French Canadian
families for their former homeland

crystalized. They were Canadians
proud Of their ancestry, and the flag
became q bright vent for their feel
ings.
Today the custom continues, partly
from habit, partly from sentiment
and, perhaps, in a measure, for tourist
atmosphere. For Quebec is vastly
Frenchy.
TO THE rescue Of visitors in Eng
land who claim authentic English
cookery is an elusive thing they can
not quite find to enjoy, comes Miss
Florence White with a recipe for
Mansfield gooseberry pie (Notting-
ham,. While 1t is not known to be
precisely the pie sold at the fair, the
recipe is traditionally English and has
been tested and found worthy by the
English Folk Cookery Association, of
which Miss White is the founder.
Reports Miss White:
This Is fruit pie made in a raised
crust. 1t is, suppose, the last sur
vival Of the ancient method of baking
fruit pies which was employed before
pie dishes were invented and for some
time after. Warden pear pies were
made in a raised crust, so were small
apple pies in Devonshire, and little
meat pies as raised pork pies are made
today. Shrewsbury Simnel cake was
also baked in raised pie crust, as
Scotch bun is today
Mansfield gooseberry pie is still the
great 'fairing' at Mansfield Fair in
July. No one would think of going
to Mansfield Fair without buying a
gooseberry pie. 1 have not the origi-
nal recipe. 1t is a trade secret, but
a very delectable imitation may be
achieved at home by making a good
raised pie crust and filling it with
topped and tailed gooseberries and
plenty Of brown sugar. covering the
pie with some more crust and baking
1t IN moderate oven for about Ia
hours, according to size. If you can
not make raised crust, make a good
short crust. Use 1t to line a cake tin
that has a loose bottom, which will en-
able the pie to be easily removed.
OF course, q collar mold, which fast
ems at the side. would be better still"

ROAD LINKS OASIS

Ancient silva Is Unchanged
Through Centuries-Film

CAIRO, Aug. 20.-To travel through
patchwork of ancient epochs to the
Oldest undisturbed desert settlement

visitors to Egypt this fall. The
journey, which will be over the newly
opened highway to the Western Des-
ert, will link Cairo to the insular
oasis of silva, known as the castellated
medieval city of Egypt.
Fearful that the tourists invasion
will spoil the manners, customs and
naturalness of the 1000 inhabitants
whose life has not been altered in
centuries, an official documentary film
Of the people and the oasis will be
made this fall. Much has been writ

Much of the fascination of silva
lies in its peculiar architecture where

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr.

FEW years ago the railroads of
n the country presented a dra-
~ matte, almost perfect, illustra-
4 a ton of the claim that rail
travel actually is safer than staying
at home. While the traffic toll fatali-
ties on committing highways and in
cities mounted in 1886, with the pick
up in motor travel. the railroads,
watching each 'p'' and "a" of safety,
traversed their millions Of passenger
miles during the year with only one
passenger accidentally killed. Such q
showing was joint tribute to the
personnel, railway maintenance and
operation and the cool, calculating
mechanical safety devices that guard
the lives of train travellers.
Intangible as is that thing called
safety, inventive genius has devised
complicated and almost foolproof
mechanisms to guard the lives of pas
sengers, and conductors on the North
Western line actually carry the key to
safety in their pockets. Ask one for
proof the next time your train is
eating up the 48s miles between Chi
cago and Omaha. More specifically,
ask to see the TOKEN" and with a
smile at your interest he will dig into
his pocket for the key that represents
one Of the more astounding mechani-
cal brains that protects the train.
Through the rails of the line flows
an electric current, which is broken
by an obstruction "in the block"-a
train ahead, broken rail or similar
menace. AS long as the power flows
through the lines the engineman is
given his head" But when the cir
cult is broken he is warned of danger
ahead; and if he fails to act the safety
robot takes the job out of his hands
It's mechanically impossible to push on.
The instant the circuit in the rails
is broken, the light signal in the cab
flashes from green to yellow. Awhis-
tie sounds twice, sharply. Alert, the
engineer acknowledges the signal by
pressing lever. but he also must cut
his speed to 20 miles an hour. As

YELLOWSTONE BY AIR

HIDE DETERMINED
SIZE OF BATAVIA
Dutch Made Odd Agreement
With JaVaneSe-DivorCe
Is Fad With Natives.

BATAVIA, Aug. 20.-Visitors to
Batavia are surprised to see how much
land a bullock's hide might inclose,
which in this case is the entire area
of the city Of Batavia.
When the Dutch bought Fair
Meadows (the literal name of Batavia)
from the natives, the agreement was
for as much land as might be inclosed
by bullock's hide"
The unsuspicious natives imagined
they were getting bargain, in view
of the few square feet they fancied
the skin would cover; but the willy
Dutch cut the hide into the thinnest
-tTips possible and made of it con-
.fecting rope, or string, which enabled
them to encircle large district.
The Javanese they outwitted are
delicately built. appearing much like
Filipinos. The young women are very
slender and supple. They are ex-
tremely graceful, especially while
dancing.
Divorce Popular.
Visitors also find that native divorce
is easy in Java. Islam permits four
wives at a time, but this is usually
found to be expensive. As divorce re-
quires only nominal formula, it is
the fashion of the day. Some Javanese
men have been divorced 20 times or
more.
Living is cheap in Java. 1t requires
only a few cents day to feed
native. All the food that is necessary
is some rice, dried fish and a few
sweets. Banana leaves serve as plates,
coconut nut shells as cups and fingers
as forks. The natives live in matched
huts, usually without floors.
Wear Few Clothes.
The native attire is limited. The
men are usually naked from the waist
up, wearing sarong, or skirt In ad-
dition to skirt the women wear
kabaya. or waist, often adorned with
gold and silver coins It is usually
too short to meet the skirt, thus leaving
part of the body exposed.
As a rule the men Of Java are
indolent and they let the women do
the hard work. The people are care
free. In the evening they may be
seen around their doors laughing to-
gether and singing their melodious
folk songs.

ICE SEASON EXTENDED
Arena at Lake Placid to Have 10
Weeks in 1889.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y. Aug. 90
Popularity of summer ice skating in
the Olympic arena at this resort has
necessitated a three-week extension
of the season in 1899.
The 1889 schedule will call for 10
weeks of skating, from June Is until
after Labor Day. This year ice was
put down on the arena floor June rs
and was removed on August Is to
make way for the fourth annual Lake
Placid flower show.
Starting with two-week season in
1882, the summer ice sessions have
grown to such proportions that this
year it was difficult to accommodate
the hundreds of skaters who thronged
the arena from six in the morning
until midnight each day.
