ID A GOLFER
IN TIMING
HIS SWING
By ARTI11:11 BRISBANE
(Copyright 1925 by the Star Co)
PREMIER BALDWIN TO AVOID
a strike threatening disaster to British
industry reluctantly pays 50000000
of dollars to the coal mine owners
thus persuading them not to reduce
wages and force a strike
The Prime Minister says "labor is
ruthless" he meaning presumably
that labor gets all it can
CAPITAL AND TUE UPPER
classes have been "ruthless" in that
way for so long a time that nobody
notices it
It's quite "legitimate" for the man
that owns the coal mines and never
does a real day's work in his life to
get every dollar he can for coal from
widow and orphan as weil as from
the railroads
But when the man in the darkness
of the mine digging out the coal asks
for decent pay heis "ruthless"
LLOYD GEORGE SMING ON
the "opposition bench" which means
that he is out of power attacks
Baldwin for yielding to threats
Baldwin's reply that it is "easier to
be rattled into a fight than into
peace" is a good reply
FROM THIS NEW SETTLING OF
a great strike British taxpayers pay-
ing millions for what is practically a
bribe to the mine owners may lead to
good
The best thing would be for Great
Britain possessing the real statesman'
that we lack in this country to find
some fair permanent road to govern-
ment control of mining We might
learn from that
MOISHE BER YUDELMAN DIED
in Brooklyn leaving to his (laughter
$100 and 100 gallons of wine The rest
of his money it isn't much goes to
"some institution in Jerusalem for the
purpose of saying prayers for my
soul"
If as we all assume Moishe Der
Yudelman has a soul it probably
knows now that what counts is the
soul's performance while in the body
not cash left to buy special favors
after that soul starts on its journey
If Moishe could return he would tell
his friends "Do what you can while
you are alive and remember the an-
cient J(wish saying has it 'What you
give in health is gold in sickness
silver after death lead' "
SOME PROTESTANT CHURCHES
permit singing and playing old hymns
set to jazz music That's at least
novel although it won't suit those
that have the usual respect for old
hymns A syncopated "Pull for the
Shore" would shock Moody and San-
key The Salvation Army was ahead in
this idea young ladies and gentlemen
singing in London's streets "0 Death
Where Is Thy Sting-a-ling-a-ling Oh
Crave thy victoree!"
"The gates of Hell may sing—A:
Ling—A-Ling but not for you and
me"
DISCUSSION OF POSTOFFICE
rates and the value of advertising
hampered by foolish postoffice rules
brings out interesting facts about the
great American bathtub now dis-
tributed BY ADVERTISING all over
the United States
The first regular bathtub was in-
stalled in Cincinatti by William
Thompson in 1842 and caused an up-
roar Doctors discussed dangers lurk-
ing in such tubs and their too fre-
quent use Philadelphia and Boston
both passed ordinances forbidding the
installing of bathtubs

of preparatons to accommodate more
