Truths Pandered While

How old is a disease?
Ask a mummy.
Egyptian doctor* left some record*
in the papyri.
But they did not speak our modern
medical language.
Their diagnosis is a bit vague, for
ns.
Anatomists learn more from Egypt
tian sculptures—
The deformities are permanently
recorded in the stone.
Diagnosticians learn a lot from
postures.
Bat the mummy was there.
He probably died of some kind of
disease.

And his body carried the traces of
a lot of other diseases.
Just like modern bodies in that re
spect.
But the mommy is slow and stub
born about answering.
Careless handling crumbles his
body into unintelligible dust.
Soak the mummy for several days
in salt water—
Then you can discover the muscular
striations.
Even then they are still granular
Have to be hardened in other solu
tions.
Handling them is managed on bits
of wire platforms.
Pat the mummy's liver colder the
X-ray—
Examine those calcium bits that
show on the surface.
They turn out to be the remains of
a parasite,
It was known as the liver fluke,
Which is common among fish-eat
ing peoples.
It is not
good
for people's livers
to have liver flukes.
Examine the mummy's heart under
av microscope
The elastic strips of the aorta can
be identified.

Bits of calcium are found in them.
That is a symptom, nowadays, of
hardening of the arteries.
Modern medics associate hardening
of arteries with strenous life.
Pharaohs lived a long time ago—
But they didn't always live a long
time.
Doubtless there were ways of in
ducing nerve strain, even then.
Tubercular germs leave no remains
of their own structure,
Not in the mummies—that we have
yet located.
But how they do affect the struc
ture of the tissues they dwell in.
That applies also to cirrhosis of
the liver.
But of course, not all ailments leave
such plain trails.
Not all the mummies come fron
Egypt, either.
American tribes used to hang their
dead up in the trees
Or hide them in
caves—they
are
found there now.
That happened also in Greenland—
And the doctors are diagnosing
Americans long dead—
Oh—some thi.-ty centuries now,
since they passed.
They also ate fish—that is pretty
well proven too:
By the recognition of a queer kind
of egg in their bowels.
There is a tape-worm that lives in
certain fishes.
And the eggs of this tape-worm

MILL WORKERS FOR
HOSIERY UNION
York, Pa. (ILNS)—Guns, threats
and intimidation fomented by- the
Sutro mill management failed in the
vote conducted by the National La
bor Board here.
When the smoke of battle cleared,
Judge John L. Connors, representa
tive of the National Labor Board, and
Charles Kutz, representing Governor
Pinchot, counted 223 worker^ for the
American Federation of Hosiery
Workers.
Only 107 wanted to hide behind the
skirts of the management's company
union.
The oveimiefttifng' Vtrfe 'fa favor of
union recognition was a blow to the
stubborn Sutro management, which
the morning before the election had
issued a broadside against the union
in a statement posted on the mill's
bulletin board.

labor turnover is being caused in

rates and workers failing to earn the
minimum wage, Organizer Alfred
Hoffman, of the American Federation
of Hosiery Workers, reports. The
practice seems to be to allow a worker

BLUE EAGLE
Will Bring Prosperity, Ssys
Saylor
Wilmington, Del.—John C. Saylor,
editor of the Wilmington Labor Her
ald, and president of the Central La
bor Union here, told a radio audience
of the benefits organized workers
can secure under the national recov
ery act, back of which, he declared,
is a plan to put unemployed men and
women back at profitable jobs. He
said, in part:
"The men and women of labor are
not satisfied to have their food, shel
ter, fuel and necessities of life doled
out to them. They want work. They,
who are not employed at present, are
still hopeful because they know the
president, General Johnson and the
leaders at Washington are trying.
Trying is much better than wishing.
'It is a fact, too, that the nation's
unemployment is being lessened. Here
in our community, workers are re
suming their regular employment.
Our community is losing its pitiful /,
relief' complex. We. are thinking of
work now. n
'Our faith and Confidence in the.
national recovery administration is
unlimited. We see behind it a square
deal for all our people. It is a pro-i:
gram founded on a work conception, "f

Mr. Saylor, who speaks as a mem-v
ber of the State Recovery Board, alsoi I
urged the necessity of complete sup-V
port for the national recovery admin-/
istration. On this point he said:
'If we want prosperity for our
selves, we must patronize those who
display the Blue Eagle—and mean it
for, in return prosperity will go to?
the rest of the people of our commu
nity, state and national.
'We are not disgusted or displeased
with the present economic system.
Phoenix Colored Labor
Union Grows Rapidly/
Phoenix, Ariz.—Federal Labor Un^
ion No. 18902, composed of colore^
workers, recently organized here, hail
a membership of over 400 and is
growing rapidly. The union, the first
of its kind in Arizona, has affiliated
with the Central Labor Council. The
wives of the members have organ
ized a Woman's Union Label League
to foster the union label on every*
thing purchased and thus create a
larger demand for union-made prod*
ucts, with its consequent employment
of trade unionists.
Packing Workers
Get Pay increase
St. Paul, Minn (ILNS)—An aver*
age increase in wages of 10 per cent,
for the 1,700 employes of the George
A. Hormell Packing Company, Aus*.
tin, Minn., has been ordered by th«t
Minnesota industrial commission^
acting as arbitrator in the strike of
the Hohmel workers.
In its order the commission said
that prior to the strike on November
13 no employe was paid less than the
scale specified in the NRA code for
packers, but that it appears that the*
minimum scale under the code results
in a weekly income "inadequate to.
maintain the American standard of
living."
The commission's order raises the
minimum wage scale for unjskillied
male workers from 400 to 45 centf
an hour, and for all general work for
women from 35 to 37% cents an hour*
