With an unprecedent ed display of harmony and unanimity of purpose, the 500 delegates repr senting tho American Federation of Labor opened the 43d annual conven tion of the organization at the munici pal auditorium Monday. Form and ceremony marked the formal opening of labor's two weeks of deliberation and work. Addresses w re delivered by Mayor Baker, Gov ernor Pierce, G. A. Von Schrlitz and Otto llartwig. An invocation was given by liishop Walter Taylor Sum ner. And then Samuel Gompers, the 72 year-old head of the federation, took the floor, and with his customary fire and vigor flayed the enemies of trade unionism red and reactionary alike outlined the federation's aims, spoke on immigration, eium labor, co-opera tion between fanner and workingman, open and closed shop and various other subjects connected with the la bor movement. The morning session of the conven tion, beginning at 10 o'clock and last ing until well after noon, was taken up almost exclusively with formali ties. A short part of the morning session and practically the entire afternoon session were devoted to or ganization and routine work. The most important feature of the day was the release for the public of the annual report of the executive council of the federation. The appointment of com mittees, the seating of delegates, the many routine acts connected with the opening of a convention of such magni tude occupied tho rest of the day. While the formalities connected willi the opening of the morning ses sion were principally courtesies and welcomes from various persons to the visiting delegates, remarks made by Governor Pierce and answered by Mr. Gompers showed a new political trend. The governor, introduced as a plain dirt farmer, complained of the in equality of a system that gives the farmer but $1 out of the $3 which the producer pays for agricultural pro ducts. This remark was greeted with continuous applause. Fifteen minutes later Mr. Gompers declared that the day is at hand when the farmer and the industrial workingman will unite against a common enemy, the profi teer. The honor of opening the conven tion went to G. A. Von Schrlitz, presi dent of the Portland Central Labor Council. Then the curtain rose slowly, re vealing at tin' back of the stage a massed orchestra of 100 pieces. At a sign from the leader the musicians struck up "The Star Spangled lian ner" anil the audience arose.

Vast geological changes in which the Andes moun tains are being pushed slowly east ward and the California coast ranges forced northward tire in nroirress in ' opinion of Dr. Bailey Willis, pro- lessor emeritus of geology at Leland Stanford university. The eustern part f Japan, he said, is probably moving westward. Dr. Willis has just returned from South American, where ho was sent by th.' Carnegie Institution of Wash ington to .study the earthquake which rooked Chile a year ago. The changes in the earth's surface, he said, are resulting from irresistable pressure exerted from within the i-.wui oenoaiu tno raciiu: deep, which offers an explanation of re ('ul disastrous tremors. Both the Chilean earthquake md l he Japanese catastrophe, Dr. Willis believes, were duo to the process of geological changes ami many equally - - seismic disturbances may be expected for generations to come. All hough scientists have known, ho declared, that the California ranges are marching northward, it took tho Chilean earthquake to prove that the Amies are shifting steadily eastward. The movement in each case is uway from the ocean. Oregon Hen Is Placed. Santa Cruz, Cal. Ten pullets own ed by L. A. Thornewill of Santa Cruz won first place in the fourth egg lay ing contest here.

It was variously esti mated that from 10 to 15 person were killed and that between 200 and 300, many of them women and children, were injured during the disorders at the separatist demonstration Sunday. The trouble began at 4 o'clock in the afternoon when 40,000 persons, in cluding 15,000 manifestants, had as sembled in the square. The panic- stricken crowd fled for safety imme diately the shooting began, trampling women and children. So rapid was the flight that in 30 minutes Hindenburg strasse was deserted. The firing originated from tho houses overlooking the square, but rapidly degenerated into a general shooting affray, in which the police, communists and separatists took part. The great separatist demonstration here terminated in a veritable massa cre. A score of persons were known to have been killed and the wounded were believed to be numbered in the hundreds. Dusseldorf was still seeth ing with excitement and more trouble was feared tonight. The French occupation authorities held the German military police the security police responsible for the outbreak, declaring that they started the shooting, in which the communist groups later joined. The hospitals and police barracks were filled with wounded, and French military doctors were rendering all possible assistance. The French authorities sent out pa trols to round up alP the security po lice they could find in the streets nnd place under arrest all those still held in reserve at headquarters. The city awoke early, teeming with excitement; thousands were abroad in spite of an appeal addressed to the population to remain indoors. But Streetcars, automobiles and other ve hicles were absent from tho streets and the hotels and stores had all low ered their iron and steel gratings. About 11 o'clock the first of the 25 trains bearing the manifestants to Dusseldorf arrived and was received by a company of Khineland public militia, which had just sworn alle giance to the green, white and red flag. Soon after noon all the manifestants from points in the "Rhlneland repub lic" had reached the city and a pro cession formed and marched behind innumerable green, white and red re public emblems to Hindenburgstrasso a thoroughfare 200 feet wide by 1000 feet long, adorned with heroic size Statues of William I. Bismark and Von Moltke. Standing directly under the statue of William 1, the separatist leader, Joseph Mat thes, began speaking. "The separatists," he declared, "aro animated by hatred toward none, but only desire peace, security and tran quility." Suddenly, without warning, several shots wore fired, from behind a low ered steel curtain protecting the plate i:lass entrance to a store. In the panic that ensued a small group made a concentrated rush for the speaker. The security police fired a fusilade and tho shooting became general, the police being especially active in smashing their way through the crowds and taking prisoner many who were transferred to headquarters. French military forces were rushed to the scene and ordered the green Police to cease using their revolvers but. according to the Preach, the po lice refused and continued to fire. The cavalry seized many of tho police and surrounded their barracks quelling the disturbance in a few minutes. THE RABBIT STORY JVTRS. RABBIT was having a both-"- ersome time with her children. It was time for them to be asleep and here they were wide awake. "If you do not close your eyes and go to sleep you will not be up with the sun for a run In the woods before Mr. Dog Is out," she told them, tucking them in once more. "It will be clear by morning," said Mrs. Rabbit. "I am certain Mr. Moon-man will clear away the clouds just as he did for Miss Twilight in the story." "Oh, tell us about It, Mother, do," cried all the little bunnies, "and then we will go right to sleep, we promise we will." Mrs. Rabbit sat down beside the bed and all the little bunnies kept as still as well, as still as little rabbits nnd their mother began the story. Once upon a time up where the Sky-folks live Mr. Moon-man one night heard a sound of weeping, so "Oh, Tell Us About It, Mother, Do." he peeked behind a cloud and there he saw pretty little Miss Twilight all curled up in her purple-pink robes crying very hard. "What is the matter?" asked Mr. Moon-man .kindly. "Have you lost your candles?" Little Miss Twilight lifted her pretty face. "Oh, no, Father Moon, it isn't that," she said, showing him a basket filled with candles, "I have all of the candles here ready to place In the blue sky. "But every night now for a week so soon as I place the stars I mean the candles all lighted In their places along come those bad little Rainclouds and put them out. "I know that all the earth children think I have forgotten to do my work and perhaps they will look for the lights to be placed In the sky again. Oh, dear, I am unhappy." "Well, well, dry your eyes, Twi light," said Mr. Moon-man. "We will see what can be done about those mischievous Rainclouds. I am rather tired of having them in my way, too. Now you run along home and get your candles lighted, and if I am not very much mistaken you will be able soon to place the candles In the sky, though It Is too late for the earth children to watch you at your work." Mr. Moon-man went sailing along the sky and every Raincloud that he met went scudding away. For they knew Mr. Moon-man would cull on old Wind Witch for help and she would come with her broom and sweep them all away if they did not run; and she wasn't very careful where she swept them, once she started clearing the sky. So off they ran to their home on the top of a high mountain and went to sleep, leaving the sky clear for Mr. Moon-man to shine in. Pretty soon along came Miss Twi light, though of course she had changed her gown now, and no one could see her as she took the can dles from the basket on her arm and tucked them in the deep blue sky until every star, as we call the candles down here on earth, was twinkling In its place. "Thank you, dear Father Moon," said Miss Twilight as she tripped away nnd Mr. Moon-man promised her that the next night when she lighted the candles she could wear her beautiful Twilight robes, and let them trail along the earth below as she ran. And that was the way Mr. Moon man sent the rain clouds scudding home once upon n time, and If you are good little bunnies and go to sleep I am sure he will do the same thing to night and in the morning you will find the sun Is shining. But all the little bunnies were fast asleep nnd Mrs. Rabbit tiptoed out of the room and closed the door behind her. (, 1023, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR.

It Is an Italian feminine name which was de rived fiom the old verb beo, to bless, and later, with the word benedico (to speak well). Beata and Bettrys were the early forms of the name and In Diocletian's persecutions, the Christian maiden who drew the bodies of her martyred brothers from the Tiber and buried them, afterward sharing their fate, was called Beatrix. Her relics were enshrined at Rome and her fame spread broadcast. Dante further con tributed to the prevalence of the "blessed" names by making the love of his youth, Beatrice Portinarl, the theme of his "Vita Nuova" and his guide through Paradise. Bona, another form of the name, was used by the daughters of the Counts of Savoy, and in the House of Luxemberg, nnd came to the throne of Fiance with the daughter of Johnnn of Luxemburg, the blind king of Bohemia. In Spain a Vlslgothlc nun was canonized us Benedlcta and partly In her honor and partly through the fame of the patriarch of the western monks, Renedictus, her name became the popular and accepted form In the Lntin countries. Italy, producing a Benedetta, straightway contracted It to Bettinn, a form which England nnd America adopted and populatlf ed. The ruby is Rettina's talismanle gem.

If there is a plainly marked star there, it is a very favorable sign. Some au thorities on chiromancy hold that the same distinction is conferred by a star on the mount of Jupiter, at the base of the index finger. When the line of the head, the lower of the two main lines crossing the pnlm horizontally, ends In a very de cided droop, it is a mark of the great Imaginative power that is so neces sary In many lines of artistic work. The same thing la seen in a well-de" veloped mount of Luna, which He on the outside of the palm, well down toward the wrist. Sometimes the line of Apollo, which runs up the palm Into the mount of Apollo, is trong, clear and well marked. Tills is an especially favor able indication for an artist.
