H., Aug. 5.?The centipede, shunned, feared and ab horred enemy of the residents of Hawaii, who can: cause small panic by merely appearing fn sight, real ly is a friend, according to Cniver sity of Hawaii investigations, be cause he subsists mainly "oh other pestiferous insects, mainly mos quitoes and cockroaches, thus de creasing the hordes of those bugs. The results of the investigation, made public in an extension letter, showed that the centipede, whose bite is feared because of many tales of its death-bringing qualities, is not vicious and is retiring in dls- ; position except when he is at tacked or thinks he is. Then he has fairly potent means of defense in the feelers in his fore-feet with which he inflicts his "bite." But his bite is no more serious usually than that of a bee or wasp, the university letter said. ? ? ? Mrxed Marriage Ban Lifted. Y/okohama, Aug. 5.?The foreign school of Yokohama, which, unlike other similar schools of Japan, has rigidly excluded children of mixed marriages, has at last decided to lift the ban.

Every time they arrest a drunk! in Reading Pa., we think "Reading j maketh a full man." It would hardly be fair to de- I scribe the eighteenth amendment as j a used model. Gompers Claims yict?ry For Unions j Fight to Hold Wages at War j l St?ndarid Has Been Won,j Says Federation Head "Washington, Aug. 27.?Organ-j ized labor groups have every rea- j son to congratulate their member-! ships with the <-oming of Labor: day in 1922. because of the '?in-' dustrial and political solidarity of! the working ]>eople," . because of j the "failure" . of employers "to bring about wage reductions,'* and because of determination within > themselves to push forward, Sam- j tie! Gompers, president of the j American Federation of Labor, de- j elared in an-address published in ; the forthcoming issue of the Amer- j iean Federationist. There has been a general "resistance of Amer ican labor to the program of wage reduction and union smashing," j and it has been successful, He as serted. * "It is safe to say that the full I volume of' wage reductions since! the armistice, if averaged up and j spread over the working people, [: would amount to less than-5 per! cent." Mr. Oompers said, adding; that "this is a stark defeat for em- j plovers.4* "It is a magnificent victory for,' the workers," he continues. "There ?re no terms too strong to describe j the importance of this great vie-,' tory for labor. It is a victory in the j celebration of which every useful j citizen can join because'* the pur-i pose of those employers who sought I to" reduce wages was not to reduce the final cost of commodities, not i so that there might be a large | volume of commodities produced^; but it was so that there might be al larger profit in the production of j commodities?a lower wage for the worker and a relatively higher cost to the consamer." . In regard to the future, Mr. Gompers said: "Labor day, 1922, finds the work t.s m a position of greater ad vantage than before. The crucial period of unemployment has been passed. The wage reduction move ment long since lost its principal momentum and the movement1 to establish the socalled 'open shop* which is in reality the non-union shop, has proven without effect. "Labor has every reason to con- j gratulate itself on the occasion of | its Labor day celebration this! year.- These congratulations, how-j ever, must be accompanied by de- j termination to continue the strug- j gie. There can be no relinquish-! ing of vigilance at any point."
