TIMES “SURE HAD CHANGED” Doughbays in France Hailed as Friend Man Whom They Had, When “Kids,” Feared Greatly. The story of how two doughboys found their old enemy in France is told by Mike Nolan, former police lieu- tenant of New York city, who served as a K. of C. secretary assigned to the Sixteenth infantry, First division. Nolan is fifty-two years old and put in 23 years on the New York police force. When he changed the blue uni- form for khaki, he was in charge of the twenty-third precinct, the old Ten- derloin. On his breast is a victory ribbon with two bronze major offensive stars and three silver citation stars. He has been recommended for the D. 8. C. by the commanding officer of the Six- teenth infantry. He had wandered up to a “little bunch” of doughboys who were ‘“shoot- ing craps,” and gave each of the boys a pack of K. of C. clgarettes. The game was an exciting one, and a sol- dier who was about “to roll the ivor- jes” looked up at him and asked him to “kiss 'em for a flve” Nolan did 80, and the dice turned up a two and a three. One of the unlucky boys who had lost on the toss of the dice looked up at Nolan and recognized him as an old enemy. “Holy cat! Look, it's Tenderloin Bull Nolan!"” he said to his pal. “Don’t you remember, he’s de cop who used to chase us from doorways for shoot- ing craps when we was kids?” “Shure,” said the lucky soldier, “and he pulled us once for smoking butts. And here he is shelling out packs of real cigarettes and kissin’ de bones for us. Damn’d if it ain’'t right dat de war changes de whole woild!” INSIGNIA OF ANCIENT ORDER That Now Worn by United States Army Medical Officers Goes Back Four Thousand Years. The caduceus, which was Introduced in 1902 by Col. John Van R. Hoff, M. C,, U. S. A, editor of the Military Sur- geon, as part of the medical officers’ Insignia, dates back 4,000 years, ac- cording to F. H. Garrison, M. D, U. 8. A., writing in the Journal of the Amer- ican Medical Association. For a num- ber of reasons the serpent was always the symbol of medicine in antiquity. The Babylonians' caduceus, which as the insignia shows today—two snakes entwined with wings at the top of the staff—occurs in Hittite remains. It stands for an actual serpent god, Nin- gishzida, who as the special messenger of Ishtar, was the awakener of life in the springtime, and the Mesopotamian prototype of the Greek Hermes. The Romans had a special functionary, the caduceator, who was a sort of peace- commissioner, The caduceus was used on the title pages of books published 2, by the famous medical printer, Fro- benlus, in 1460 to 1527. The “wand of’ Mercury,” as It is sometimes called, was also carried by merchant traders fn ancient times, on excursions where peacetul negotintlons were desired and they wanted to be known as neutrals. Labor Troubles in China. The $40 a month which the Chinese coolie with his family drew from the Chinese government during his perfod of enlistment in the army Is the basis for the labor disturbance which is rocking China at the present time, says C. C. Thompson of Shanghai in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Mr. Thompson explalns that prior to the war the average coolie made a month- 1y wage of $12 to $15, while having becowe accustomed to the new stand- ards of living made possible by the $40 allotment he declines now to re- turn to the old basls. Even household domestics have become affected by the new unrest and are demanding more money, he says. Recently be- cause of the unsettied conditions there was a strike of dockworkers in Chi- nese ports which held up all trans- Pacific traffic for n considerable time. . Mr. Thompson states. Owes All to Uncle Sam. Building upon his past experlence as an employee in a shoe factory, the federal board for vocational education placed a young chap of 24, who was disabled at Soissons, in a shoe manu- facturing plant for training. His left hand and arm were severely injured by a high-explosive shell, but he finds he can carry on, in spite of the handi- cap, and is fast becoming an expert shoe cutter. The management, finding his service valuable, are paying him $1 a day—this, of course, in addition to his training pay, which comes from the board. He is enthusiastic and writes: “This training is great stuff. Everything is going fine. * * * I wouldn't have been able to do any- thing if the government hadn’t given me this chance.” Movies Set Distance Record. Two moving picture records were broken recently, according to the Pop- ular Mechanies Magazine, at the cen- tenary celebration of the Methodist church in Columbus, 0. An ordinary projecting machine, equipped with a special lens, a rapid shutter, and a 150-ampere light, was used to throw pictures 100 by 75 feet, on a screen 350 feet away from the machine. The light employed was three times the strength of those commonly used. It generated so much heat that it was necessary to operate the cinemato- graph at great speed to prevent burn- Ing the film. The screen on which the pictures were thrown was 115 feet square. Gov. J. P. Goodrich of Indiana, in a recent address welcoming returned world war service men, referring to the steel strike saild he believed many of the strikers were forelgners who were unacquainted with the American principles of government. “This 18 a government of laws and not of men, or it is not a government at all,” he said. “And we have to stand for obedience to law and respect for established institutions. You are not going to see the government torn down by impious hands, which have done nothing to build it up. The insti- tutions of our country are challenged as never before. The great danger today is the class-minded man. He would substitute loyalty to a group.to loyalty to the nation. “T believe in collective bargaining and that men have the right to or- ganize to protect their interests. Some of these labor leaders, I believe, do not réprésent the great body of labor men. I do not believe that W. Z. Foster and John Fitzpatrick do, and I do not believe that they workingman of today.” speak for the intelligent g e D. H. FISK Attorney at Law . Oftice, Northern National Bank Bldg.
