iso lx>w, prosperous Chinese of
New York, walked from the Chinese
Delmonico'a with a white girl on
either arm. Two other Chinese shot
one girl tn the foot, shot Ko Low
dead with various bullets, then
melted Into the Asiatic atmosphere
uf the Chinese quarter.
Ko Low's ton*' says: The
brothers of Ko Low are anguished
by the death, hut can't understand
*t." It Is just a private murder, not
a tong war, they say. White men
with their opinions of the two white
ffirls. think it may have been provi-
dential.
So much for New York. In San
Francisco. members of all the tongs
met. and important leaders signed a
treaty of peace, agreeing not to
shoot anybody until further notice.
At that moment detectives broke
In. seized the treaty, saying. "We'll
keep this secret. But if you do mart
shooting, well arrest everybody
whose name is slngned here."
They arc sinning such documents
.ti Europe. If only some celestial
power £OUld take copies of the treat-
ies und promise to lock up any
statesmen starting a fight!
The plan of Monsieur Poncalre is
to establish a German plebiscite.
Germany would live under allied su-
pervision. the allies would take 20
per cent of mining and industrial
concessions. They would run Ger-
many "as a going concern," some-
thing like a rocelver appointed by the
court, taking over a railroad. The
German receivership, including sixty
million Germans, would be a consid-
erable undertaking.
Two strikers, accused of throwing
a brick at a police dog, are arrested,
charged with unlawfully "Interfering
with a policeman in discharge of his
duty." The dog on duty is consid-
ered a policeman. The men Interest-
ed might ask why he didn't wear a
uniform. They were simply throw-
ing a brick at a dog chasing a friend
of theirs.
It is as Interesting as though some
Asiatic was locked up for Interfering
with the Rajah's executioner-ele-
phant, trained to step in and squnsh
skulls of criminals.
W. Z. Foster, once leader of steel
strikers is thrown out of Colorado
and warned not to come back. Gen-
eral Hamrock, in putting out the
radical labor loader, said "the dang-
erous radical" was put out "for the
best Interests of the state, and NG
LAW was consulted."
Colorado has the right to accept
or reject. But it is not wise for an
official to exercise the fact that no
law is consulted." Better leave that
to "dangerous radicals "
Lenin was put out of Russia by the
czar, or rather driven out. in exactly
the same way. and spent years in
Switzerland and elsewhere. But he
came back. If you don't want dang-
erous radicals to defy the law. don't
set the example and then proudly
advertise it.
Last year the United States spent
$600,000,000 on roads. It should
spend five times as much next year
and would make money on the in-
vestment.
Mr. McDonald, chief of the Bureau
of Public Roads, says the words
"permanent roads" are a fallacy.
He's mistaken. Caesar built roads
that lasted centuries that's per-
manent enough.
Judge Gary, of the Steel Corpora-
tion. who manufacturers cement as
well as Iron, could produce a rein-
forced road laid in sections, that
would last Indefinitely.
The government should ask him to
do It. Some day cheap electric heat
will melt stone, producing a sort
of artificial lava, to be poured out
like molosspp. And there you will
have a road fairly permanent.
Tn French tests of flying machines
without engines an American leads,
remaining In the air on his gilding
machine 6B seconds at one time. That
is better than the flying fish or a
flying squirrel can do. and it's good
for a beginning. American inventors
know how to do things, but their
government does very little to en
courage new ideas The Wright
brothers had to take their flying ma
chine, and Lewis his wonderful gun.
to Europe in order to attract atten
tlon.
A wreck on the Missouri Pacific
killed many. "Inevitable," nay rail- j
road representatives. They wonder
ed what the engineer was thinking !
about when he passed the dangei
signal. He may have been worrying
about an engine not properly cared '
for because of the strike and danger-
ous to handle.
It the shopmen's strike lasts the
engineers may be compelled to go
out, to protect their own lives, and
the public's.
Investigating the cost of gasoline,
""the senate is told by "an expert" that
easoline manufacturers have been
losing money ever since 1920."
That's puzzling. Since 192" gaso-
line has sold at from 25 to 32 cents.
Before the automobile created a de-
mand, making high prices easy,
gasoline used to sell for six cents a
gallon.
EXPLOSION ON

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—An explo-
sion in the hold of the White Star
liner Adriatic, 300 miles off the At-
lantic coast, killed two members of

plosion is unknown. Latest radio re-
ports said that the ship was safe,
but proceeding at half speed. The

Make No Distinction Between
Liberal Catholic Unions,
and Communists.
By Federated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Why the
Fascist! are slaughtering liberal
Catholics In Italy, along with Social-
ists and Communists. Is Indicated by
the text of the "Fundamental char-
ter" adopted at Innsbruck by the
Christian (Catholic) labor unions of
twelve European countries, upon
which the Social Action of the Na-
tional Catholic Welfare Council here
has isHiied a statement, in substance,
this platform of th<- Catholic labor
unions of Europe calls for a re-or-
ganization of the economic life of
the world along guild lines. It would
abolish capitalism.
"According to the Christian idea of
the world and life." says this charter,
"man is the center of the social and
economic organization. The laws of
nature demand that the goods of this
earth bo at the service of man and
rest subject to him. Society ought,
therefore, to be organised In such a
way as to guarantee to everyone the
possibility of acquiring the greatest
possible moral md social welfare.
Such an order presupposes that
everyone will perform manual and
intellectual labor, and that Individ
ual interests and the Interests of
single groups will be subordinated to
the general good.
Rejcct>> Individualism.
The International Confederation of
Christian Labor unions goes on to
reject the theory of unlimited indi-
vidualism on the one hand, for the
reason that It "drives on small
groups of the economically strong to
the total enslavement of the masses
under modern capitalism;'" op the
other hand it rejects "that annihila-
tion of the human personality which
Socialism and Communism seek."
Its positive platform calls for in-
dustrial councils of employers and
workers, to regulate conditions of la-
bor In the industries, and to develop
co-operative production. These
councils or guilds would he locally
and nationally federated, thus creat-
ing a guild state for the government
of Industrial life and material pro-
duction. During the period required
to bring about this revolution in the
industrial world, the charter de-
mands that a comprehensive code of
labor and social legislation be en-
acted and enforced, including the
safeguarding of the health, insurance
against old age, sickness and disa-
bility, limitation of hours of work,
safeguarding of civil liberties, scien-
tific vocational guidance with gener-
al improvement of educational op-
portunities for the workers' children,
and a mlnumum wage sufficient to
provide a better standard of living
and human culture than is now pos-
sible to the work^ .
This plan for a guild system of
Industrial administration contem-
plates no action by the political gov-
ernment except "where private eco-
nomic action does not secure the
necessary purposes, or where the
general economic and cultural needs
require it."
As the Fascist! in Italy are a com-
posite of the anti-labor elements
found in tlip chambers of commerce
and many American Legion posts in
this country, they make no distinc-
tion between Socialist. Communist
and Catholic labor organizations
when revolutionary plans for social
betterment like this Fundamental
Charter come to their notice. They
reply with assassination, plunder
and arson.

pill for a homer and the famous
double play was pulled, the Red-

scoreless for live innings and gave
the tribesmen a lead of five mark-

FROM THE SIDELINES
By T. S. Andrews.
Fort
eld
Ever Hammer. Chicago "bristling
blond," is a regular Joe Grim when
it comes to standing up under pun-
ishment. In 1916 Mr. Hammer had
the distinction of going 12 rounds
with Benny Leonard, world's cham-
pion lightweight. About 1920 Ever
was considered about "all in," as
many of the boxers and their follow-
ers call it, and Howard Carr, his
manager, was ready to put him on
the shelf. A year ago Hammer de-
cided that with all tho big money
hanging around he would make a
cotne-back. which he did. He was
successful in getting matches with
Richie Mitchell and Charley White,
and as he was given newspaper de-
cisions over them by some of the
papers IK- was in clover and ready
for big game. The "Blond Tiger" got
his chance with champion Leonard
at Michigan City, Ind., last week and
now he is convinced that Benny
Leonard is about the niftiest piece
of fighting machinery in the 135-
pound class and far better than any-
thing in that line he has ever faced
before. However, it was an appar-
ently different Leonard than the one
who gave Lew Tendler such a
splendid battle at Jersey City only
ten days before. Benny had his right
eye covered with a plaster, to pro-
test it from further injury, the re-
sult of bumping heads with Tendler,
but Hammer never bothered him
much. Ever tried to strike off the
plaster and finally succeeded, but
even then he did not open the wound
and the champion was not damaged
any. As for the contest, there was
little to it. Hammer was strong as
a young bull, but with all his ad*
vantage that way he could do noth-
ing against the clever title holder.
Benny took maticrs easy* for lour
rounds and then began to pepper the
Chicago lad with lefts and rights to
the face and body and occasionally
put over a few uppercuts to the chin
that made Ever wince and weaken.
Benny's judgment of distance was
not up to the standard, due to lack
of boxing, but while he missed num-
erous leads he landed enough to have
beaten two ordinary lightweights; in
fact he was so superior as a boxer
that there was no comparison what-
ever. He won as he pleased and if
he had cared to have taken a chance
of hurting his bands would no doubt
hav stopped the husky Hammer.
The Way >1adge and Lillian
"Turned to** to Aid Katie.
Katie's explanation only Increased
my bewilderment. For a second or
two I stared helplessly st her high-
ly colored and black-besmeared face,
wondering how I was to get her in
shape to come downstairs as Lillian
had requested. I knew that wild
horses would not drag Katie where
Allen Drake could see her face in
its present ludicrous plight.
"Practicing exercises so you could
go in the movies." I repeated me-
chanically. "What do you mean?
No," I interrupted myself briskly as
a remembrance of Lillian waiting
came to me, "you'll have to tell me
about it some other time. Just now *
you're needed in something more ex-
citing than any movie. Have you
tried to get thlB stuff off your face?"
"Yot you say, tried? Have I
tried," Katies voice rose hyster-
ically. "I vash eet mit two kinds
of soap, und eet only get vorse. Look
at dot towel!"
Katie's Dilemma.
I gazed at an impressionistic dis-
play in carmine and black, then back
at Katie's shiny face, looking as if
a good coat of varnish had been
spread over the smears. I remem-
bered having heard that water only
"set" paint more firmly, then, with
a swift decision born of the neces-
sity for haste. 1 turned to the door.
"I will call Mrs. Underwood," I
said with decision. "She will know
what to do, I am sure."
Katie giggled telievedly. She is al-
ways happy when she has succeeded
in casting her woes upon broader
shoulders.
"Messis Underwood, she sure ought
to know," she remarked reflectively.
"She alvays used to put wagon load
dot stuff on her own face."
I opened my mouth to reprove her
Impertinence, but closed it again
with the judicious reflection that If I
wished Katie to be of use to Lillian
I must be careful not to upset her.
"Don't touch your face until I
come back," I admonished. #
"You bet your boots I no touch,"
Katie replied with heartfelt empha-
sis. "My face, eet feels like vun new
potato ven you rub skin off, only cet
redder." She surveyed herself In
the mirror with a critical air which
made me bolt from the room.
1 heard Lillian's voice in the li-
brary, mingled with Tom Chester's
deep but boyish tones. I knew there
was no time for any exchange of
even the perfunctory greetings of a
hostess and guest, so I knocked
lightly upon the door and kept out
of sight when Lillian answered my
summons.
"All Right—Here Goes!"
"Please come upstairs to Katie s
room at once," I whispered. Then I
turned and sped back through the
kitchen to the foot of the stairway
leading to my little maid's room,
wheije I halted for the few seconds
which Lillian, after making a hur-
ried excuse to young Mr. Chester,
needed to catch up with me.
"Wait!" I barred her ascent of tho
stairs with a gesture. "Perhaps I can
save time by telling you the trouble
first. Katie informs me that she has
been practicing to go into the mov-
ies, and her face is smeared with red
and black paint."
"My sainted aunt!" Lillian clutch-
ed me by the arm, as if—I reflected
whimsically—she would hurry along
my story by her grip. ' Where did «
she get the stuff? Some of that
cheap dope they sell is the next door
to poison. Lucky her skin is good.
What has she done to get it off?
Washed it. of course."
"Scrubbed it with soap," I return-
ed, and Lillian grinned at the men-
tal picture, even as she started on a
hurried lope back to the kitchen.
"Find the lard for me," she said.
"I'll hunt up a dish, and I want some
clean soft rags."
It was but a few seconds before,
armed with the implements she wish-
ed, we started for Katie's room, find-
ing my little maid seated on a chair,
her hands planted firmly on her
knees, evidently engaged in rigidly
obeying my injunction not to touch
her face.
"Sit perfectly still. Katie, and
close your eyes," Lillian command-
ed.
"I'm not going to hurt you, but

I
"ACKNOWLEDGE THE CORtf."
It was quite the custom years ago,
and still is in the South and West
today, for a man who had been
cheated in a gambling game to say,
"I acklowledge the corn," in repu-
diating bis debt.
Here's hom it came about. A farm-
er once thought of trying his luck in
New Orleans. He loaded two flat
boats, one with corn and the other
with potatoes und down riv< f be
went. Soon after his arrival he
landed in a gambling house where
he lost all money, potatoes and corn.
Through some accident the flat boat
containing the corn was sunk during
his absence. Next morning, the
gambler came to claim his property.
Awakening from his sleep the farm-
er, looking the man in the face ex-
claimed:
"Stranger. I acknowledge the corn
take it. But the potatoes you can't
have by thunder.

COMMUNIST UNIVERSITY
IS FOUNDED AT MOSCOW
By Federated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. 12.—A Communist
university of the west has Just been
founded at Moscofe, the purpose of
which will be to train young men
from European countries in commun-
ist leadership. To begin with, there
will be six sections - Jewish, Lettish,
Lithuanian, German, Polish and
Roumanian. The school will be a
counterpart of the Communist uni-
I versity of the east, in which 600
j Asiatics are receiving communistic
j training. During the period of their
study, those in attendance are to be
clothed, housed and fed at the ex-
pense of the soviet state. The chief
subjects to be taught are historic #
materialism, history of the revolu-
tion, religion vs. communism, consti-
tution of the Russian socialist fed-
| crated soviet republic, the red army,
' and the dictatorship of the proleta-
riat.
