. N'cw York, March 15. A report
' of events leading up to the rising
against the bolshevik administration
in I'ctrograd and Kronstadt was
made public today by the Russian
information bureau. The report,
sent from I'etrograd February 28,
says:
"On the morning of February 21 a
strike began at the cartridge works.
A tight started between workingnien
and the bolslieviki, in which several
members of the community nucleus
at the factory ware "killed'. On Ftb
" rtiary 23 the strike spread to thd
Baltic works. The commissary was
severely beaten.
"On February 24 tfic Laferme
flgaret factory on Vassilevsky
Ostrov Island went on strike. 'I lie
strikers were joined by the workers
; . of the other factories. The island
was taken and an attack by the red
soldiers was beaten off. The red
cadets began a regular siege of the
island. On the morning of February
25 it became known that an ice
breaker with revolting sailors had,
conic up from Kronstadt. The sailors
spread all over Fetrograd, agitating
freely against the soviet government.
Fncouraged by rumors of assistance
from Kronstadt, the strike spread.
It was then that the first armed
clashes between workingmen and
red cade.ts occurred, resulting in
casualties.
"The situation continued very
tense. Crowds were marching
through the streets carrying banners
, with inscriptions 'Down witl the
soviet autocracy.'
i "On the streets numerous meet
ings were ""held at which working
men called for a general strike, urg-
ing their audiences to overthrow the
soviet rule. These meetings were
dispersed by the red soldiers.
"During the night of February 27
28 the first real battles were fought
X in the streets.! Toward midnight the
5 number of killed revolutionists was
.about 150. The red cadets and Let
tish riflemen were, shooting ruth
lessly all persons caught bearing
arms." '
Bolshevist papers just received
v tell of the growing opposition of the
workingmen.
Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
There is an ancient superstition
which credits the chrysolite, today's
talismanic stone, with the power to
dispel the mists of bad fortune and
all, useless fears a belief which
doirbtless arises from the stone's as
sociation with the sun.
The diamond is today's natal
stone, and' is endowed with some
what the same powers, since for
those born on an anniversary of this
jlay, it drives away baseless fears
and vain regrets, bringing clear
thought and good judgment to re
place them. It dispels morbid
thoughts and doubts, -and brings the
ability to face the future with cour
age and vision.
Today's color is green symbolic
of change, and of the transformation
of melancholy to happiness. The
Orientals .credited it- with power to
drive away all unliappiness.
Today's flower is the narcissus.

The Art of Conversation.
Have you as good a vocabulary
as you had five years ago?
Is it not apparent that you allow
yourself a few words and finding
you can express your wants with
these limited expressions you , are
satisficd2 -
Gotten entirely away from that od
dictionary habit of yours.
Formerly you looked up the mean
i ing of words you did not understand
or were not sure of in pronunciation,
but, now you are perfectly sure to
skim ovor your reading and avoid
the actual "study or use . of new
words. i
If you make no effdrt to establish
a cultured vocabulary you won't have
one, that much is evident.
It is good practice to read a few
v moments in the dictionary each day
and try to bring back a bit of your
early., schooling.
It is toq easy to get into the.hab
of using 'stock phrases and a
vernacular which indicates your
business as soon as you are heard
talking for even a short length of
time.
jDon't stamp yourself in "any
groove. Be broader than your trade
or your own circle of friends.for
that matter.
Be internationally well spoken;
you can and not be snoblish, eith
er. Go in for pure language and
begin now to make you speech pleas
ing to the cultured. , t

Where It Started
The Income Tax.
The idea of taxing incomes orig
inated in England after the Na
poleonic wars. Incomes were taxed
in 1799. The tax was later repealed.
Sut was re-introduced in 1842, and
has since remained. ,The first in
:ome tax law was passed in the
United States in 1862.

WHY-
: 3 r
Do We Refer to'"Halcyon Days?"
In the sense in which this phrase
is used today, it is understood to.
mean days of peace, a period of calm
and prosperity and happiness. But,
were it not tor a metaphorical sig
nificance, "halcyon days" "would
properly occur only during the week
preceding the' week following the
winter solstice the shortest day of
the year.; ' . - - '
These 14 days were, by the ancient
Greeks, called halcyon." because of
the legend that the kingfisher or
halcyon bird was making its nests at
this time of the year and that the'
sea was always still, in order that,the
male bird might have no 'trouble in
securing food for himself and his
mate. This misconception of natural
history persisted in spite of the fact
that the Greeks were really deep stu
dents of bird and animal life, but,
gradually, the phrase waS used only
in its figurative sense, as applying to
peace, tranquility and contentment
a simile for "IM good old days," to
which persons of the passing gener
ations are-erlways referring.

Four-Leaved Clover.
Who is there that finding a four
leaved clover, does not' regard it as
an omen of goojLluck? Few people,
if any. Some may pooh-pooh the
idea and laugh scornfully thereat;
but, nostled away down in the bot
tom of their hearts is a secret satis
faction over their "find."
In this we are but harking back
to our sun-worshiping ancestors.
Clover was one of the plants of
magic power gathered at the sum
mer solstice from European fields in
the dim past, because at the summer
solstice the sun, giver of life, having
reached his greatest power, certain
plants caught from him mystic
properties which made them potent
for baffling ' the evil things . which
threaten theiife of man. Now if an
ordinary clover caught something of
the sun's mystic properties a four
leaved clover which was ' unusual
and therefore mat mean something
was especially marked out as hav
ing caught an extra share.
In the Tyrol and in some parts
of France, the idea that the four
leaved clover, in order to be potent
for luck, must be picked on mid
summer eve, still persists; but Eng-

-The Synthetic Cow
VSc yield to Henry Ford all honor due him;
As clouds of blinding dust about us rise
Along the road, we have to hand it to him
For making motor cars as thick as flies.
Anefyet he must be just a bit demented
Or off his dipia trifle, anyhow,
When he puts forth the claim that lie invented
The first synthetic cow.
For many 3'ears the lacteal trade has flourished;
When first the cave-man led his simple life,
His progeny in infancy were nourished v
By proxy by the bull's bucolic wife.
And ifrom the chalk cliffs on the shores of Dover,
When cows ran dry, some prehistoric bilk
Adroitly manufactured and put over
The first svnthetic milk. 1
' . ' -(
And now, in almost every farming regions
When grass is scarce and talcum powder cheap,
The profiteer! of -synthesis are legion!
Their ways and wells mysterious and deep.
Whenever fields are sere for want of tillage
The dairy business never knows a slump
As long as there exists in every village,
The honest old town pump.
Synthetic cows! the sons of Father Adam.
Employed 'em in the childhood of the race.
We have no doubt the Medes and Persiane had 'em
And dared not look their babies in 'the face!
Wherever talcum can be dessfcated.
Wherever rivers run or wells are bored, A
Synthetic cows have been originated,
But not by Henry Ford. 1

We don't believe there is another man on the face of the earth who wbuld

Coroner Probes
The Mysterious
Death of Youth
Two Men Have Identified
Body as Different Persons
Neither' of Those Men
tioned Are Found.
Warsaw, . Indiana, March 13. A
coroner's inquest was scheduled to
be opened at Bourbon, Ind., today
in an effort to solve the mystery
surrounding the strange case of a
youth, apparently about 20 years old,
who was found dead at a railroad
crossing near here Saturday night.
Arrests will follow the inquest. Cor
oner N. B. Aspinwall predicted.
It was at first believed the young
man had been struck by a train, but
investigation by the authorities is
said to have led to the belief that
he had "been beaten to death in a
shack nearby.
Several hours after the bodv was
1 found, Fred Decker, a farmer, iden-
tilicd the body as that of his brother,,
Virgil, aged 20. He asked that h'e'
might bury the body immediately
but permission was refused.
Last night John Lovett of Elkhart
identified the body as that of his son.
Lcroy, aged 19. It was also brought
out that Virgil Decker was last seen
ir. the company of Leroy Lovett.
The young men were said to be
"doubles", in appearance. Neither
has been seen since "the tragedy.
A buggy ws smashed by a freight
train at the crossing where the body
was found and it first was supposed
the slain youth was a train victim.
But trainmen declared the buggy was
standing on the tracks and no horse
was hitched, ta it. The authorities
followed bugafy tracks to a shack on
Fred Decker s farm. Virgil Decker
was employed by his brother.
