The new tunnel is named Queensway, in honor of Queen Maryl and was formally opened by King George, who threw a ' switch • of: gold which caused electric motors to roll back a huge curtain from the ipouth of the great tube..- ~ \ Queensway is two and one-seventh miles long and 44 feet in*.diameter, accommodating four lines of traffic.- It has been under-r* construction nine years and cost approximately $40,- 000,000. It is nearly half a mile longer than the great Holland tunnel under the Hudson River which connects New York and New Jersey. Speaking of the construction of Queensway, Sir Basil Mott, chief engineer of the project, paid a generous compliment to American engineering skill when he said : "We owe much to experience gained by the Americans in building the Holland tunnel." A Strike in 1834 ridicule the findings that Mr. Fish and his associates were seeing under the bed. Recent developments in connection with some of the more important strikes which have occurred tend to confirm the correctness of the Fish committee's report at least in a general way- It is now well established that the general strike in San Francisco, which for a few days virtually paralyzed all activities in that and nearby cities, and menaced the supply of food for the public, was instigated by an Australian Communist named Harr,y Bridges, The general strike was not sanctioned by the American Federal of Labor, but was broken largely throughits repudiation by President Green of that body of legitimate Union workers. ; ' The red hand of Communism is also seen in the Alabama textile strike in which many lpcals of Union textile workers have refused to join. The same is true of strikes in Seattle, Minneapolis and" elsewhere. Abundant evidence is available to prove that the Communist menace, particularly to honest American labor, is no myth. It is a reality which must be dealt with in vigorous fashion. Fortunately, leyel headed and patriotic labor /leaders of legitimate unions seem disposed to reject dictation by the Communistic element within their ranks In combating the sinister efforts bf the Communists to wreck our American institutions, every loyal citizen can performsworthy public service. it..'; GREEN STREET TAVERN >' Jufit North of Empire Theatre - Special for Saturday Night--5c Hamburgers Mixed Drinks, Wines and Liquors, Mei&ter Brau Beer, 5c GEO. L. JONES, Pnripfej ; Strikes" occurred occasionally as long as a century ago, but they -were generally only local in ^cope and involved few workers in comparison with those of the present. An account of a washerwomen's strike in the liondon Times of -May 2, 1834, contained the following: » « "No fewer than 70 of this 'useful class of females struck at Kensington for higher wages. It appears that two shilling and six pence per diem, and two half pints of beer, had been the regular scale of wages, but the price to be demanded fixed at threa shillings per diem and the usual bear allowance. "After a considerable time had been occupied in parleying, the washerwomen gained their point, and after taking copious liberations of gin returned to their tubs." A strike of washerwomen may have been a serious fhatter 100 years ago, when the tub and washboard were the only clothes washing equipment available. But such a strike would be of 1'tUg concern to the modern housewife, whose washing machine enables her to take care of the household laundry work with a slight outlay of time arid offort. Another present day advantage is that the machine demands, no wages, neither does it have to be placated with a daily pint of beer., FOR SALE _ SCHAEFERB TAVERN > East of the Old River Bridge Mixed Drinks - Light Lunches - 5 and 10c Beer FISH FRY FRIDAY NITE--10c per plate % . ^ "CfilCKEN DINNER--Saturday Nite 25c Music By MONARCHS OF MELODY (The Three Musty Beers) TED'S PLACE West McHenry, 111.

Since assessments have been laid vpon individual establishments in various industries for the purpose of raising funds for code enforcement, a great many establishments have failed to pay the amounts demanded by their code authorities. So far as we know, no legal steps have been taken to collect these assessments up to the present time, although such action has been threatened. A case which may bring the assessment matter to a show-down is that of Levey & Son, manufacturing jewelers of New York, who have given notice that they refuse to pay an assessment of $100 levied on their establishment by a jewelry code authority. In a letter they say: "We are in receipt of an invoice for j $100 for a contribution to maintain j the code authority of the jewelry in- : (i us try/ We do not intend to pay it. j In fact, we refuse to pay it. We have been in business for over 46 years- We intend, as long as our money is invested in our business, to run it on the same high standards as in the past- We absolutely refuse to take any advice or direction froip the NRA. This firm will spend $1,000 to fight the , payment of this $100." -- j It will be interesting to see what General Johnson will say or do about i this direct challenge to his authority. ; A good many business men are wondering whether the NRA can really j compel the payment of these assessments.

These lsluuuefB &rs all' descendants of the mutineers of the British ship Bounty which left England December 29, 1787, bound for Tiahiti for the purpose of securing young bread-fruit trees to be transplanted in the West Indies. The Bounty arrived safely at Tahiti some time during October of the following year, and the captain and crew spent Six months at the Island collecting and stowing away the plants. Leaving Tahiti in April, 1789, the Bounty went on to Anamooka where water, fruits, goats and other live stock were taken aboard. She put to sea again on the 26th of the same month. Ttro days later a mutiny broke out on board, and the captain and part of the crew were set adrift In a launch. They managed to make their way to Timor in the Malay archipelago, and from there to Batarla, where they took passage on >a vessel bound for Europe, eventually reaching England. In safety. The mutineers at first all returned to Tahiti Some remained, but six of them were ultimately court-martialed In England, three being executed in 1792. Meanwhile, the 'remainder of the party, Six Polynesian men, twelve Polynesian w<3»men had taken possession of Pitcalrn island and burned the Bounty. " In 1808 this strange Colony was discovered by the Topaze, an American vessel, and from time to time visited by exploring ships.

Th« Word "Gringo" . The Spanish word "gringo" originated among the Mexicans, but it has spread to all Latin American countries as a contemptuous term for citizens of the United States, writes G. R. Turner in th'e Kansas City Times. When the American army invaded Mexico in 1846 a favorite song In the camps of the American troops was Burns' "Green Grow the Rushes, O." The Mexicans heard it sung so repeatedly that they finally began to mimic the Americans by calling them by the first two words, which they pronounced "green go," spelled in Spanish "gringo." . . "Brand-New". Before the streets of cities and towns were illumiuated with lamps or electricity, it was customary for people to light their way at night by carrying burning torches, writes G. It. Turner In the -Kansas City Times. In England these torches were termed "brands," from which is derived our modern word "firebrand." To the peo pie of those time^ the brand represented the acme of that which was bright or shiny. Thus, "brand-new'* became, and has remained, a synonym for anything lustrous and bright with newness;' Learn Prayer* From Bird* In India the hill mynas are parilfemarly In evidence in the vicinity of religious temples. Nesting, as they do frequently, in the caves of these temples they sometimes learn to repeat the prayers of the worshipers and it is even said that some llltfVF&te natives learn to say their- prayers by listening to those rendered by the mynas.
