The pink-headed duck, which is almost as rare as a word from "Silent Cal," was found by a native hunter near the Nepal bor der in northern India,after nearly 200 men and scores of elephants had failed in the search. In 1922 and 1923 more elephants are said to have been employed in the hunt than Hannibal had when he in vaded Italy. The search for the "pink-head" took a vast expenditure of human effort and must have cost a good ly .sum. It is a pity that the hu man race, which will expend so lavishly of time, money and ener gy in getting something that has not the slightest value to human ity, can not show the same en ONION WORKERS Laud Julius Fleishmann As a Friend of Labor rBy International Labor News Service.

Nearly all of them were men of families. Only a few years ago great big business men, so-called Christians and church members, stated that to put into operation a workmen's com pensation law would be to drive busi ness men out of business. What that law did do was to make some of the so-called Christians come across with funds to take care of dependents, and the families of those men will receive something over $200,000. In the good old "trust in God" days those depend ents Would not receive a nickel. o There was a hospital—so-called— in one of the eastern states, which was very popular with ambulance cases. Almost every hour of the day and night an ambulance clanged its way to the portico, orderlies grabbed the stretcher and the "patient" was rushed into the hospitable place. A new traffic officer happened to be passing when a "patient" was being removed. lie stopped, held up his hand in token that the procession should halt, lifted the sheet which covered the "victim" and found? I'll bet a catfish you have already guess ed. Anyway, he found several bot tles of gin and\Whiskey. How would you like to be able to operate a hos pital of this kind o—i— Professor Doolittle Squashem bow ed his most elaborate bow and accept ed an invitation to dine with the Hon. Love Easy. The professor had just delivered art eloquent address on How to Make Father and Mother Raise Their Offspring Along Proper Lines." "We'll raise a fund to place you on a very good salary," said Mr. Love "Easy, "and then you can frame your law and we'll order the Snoop and Snoop Societies to get behind it. We'll even go farther than that. We'll enlist some of the bpys who have been drawing down easy money for many years making this country 'dry.' Ill fact, we'll make them eat hay for breakfast, eat hay for lunch and eat plain straw for dinner. Those parents should be made to know that children should have' a taxi to carry them to school and be served highballs when they get there." Ohio is looking for a new chief for its state prohibition director, or rather one to represent the federal government. It is reported that Senator Willis and the powers that be, are inclined to favor J. O. White, who had his hat ready to throw into the political ring as governor a short time ago. They could save them selves much trouble and worry if they would go to Sing Sing prison and apply for the services of Mr. W. H. Anderson. He would not delay the game at all in making a speedy "clean-up" on all the money and moonshine in sight—and some not in sight. o—— "Do you have trouble with the young men coming to your dancing academy, in that they bring whiskey or moonshine?" we asked of one of the attendants. "Not on .your life," was the reply. "The" girls bring the stuff and the boys come to get it." Prohibition prefers this form of de moralization. They are for prohibi tion but not in favor of temperance." Why Prohibition means an easy living to many of them and temper ance would do away with their fat salaries. "Every time I eat too much of my favorite dish," said one of my back door prohibition friends, "I suffer from a terrific headache." Let's pass a law prohibiting him. from eating that favorite dish and pass another law compelling him to be temperate in all things—including eating. Tem perance to him doesn't mean any thing: it's prohibition for the other fellow.

Va.—Governor Gore, the new state executive, has startled anti-union coal owners and other ele ments hostile to organized labor by inviting the organized workers to join with him and other citizens in discussing problems of interest to the commonwealth.
