Ambassador. The Ambassador's
servant killed the pigs. The inn
keeper horse-whipped the servant.
The Ambassador called lor his
passports, and went home with his
stall in protest against such "scan
dalous violations of the laws of
nations," and for three years diplo
matic relations were suspended.
Again, in Boston, a lady com
plained that a rich neighbor stole
and ate her pig. The courts denied
her claim, and the defendant, a
wealthy sea captain, won damages
for defamation of character. The
lady appealed to the State Legis
lature, which argued the case for
a year and finally spin into two
permanent houses, the Conserva
tives, who had sided with the de
fendant, and the Democrats.
In the loth century the peoplc-ot
Frankfurt. Germany, taking cogni
zance of the social habits of pigs,
passed a law torbidaing nome own
ers to maintain pigpens between
their houses and the street. At
about the same time in France a
hog was indicted for the murder
of a baby, tried, convicted, and
publicly hanged.
Since tne cave dwellers. era uuhi,
have" combined dried pork with
berries and herbs to make sausage,
and many great cities have lent
their names to products that are
familiar today. Thus, Salami, men
tioned frequently by pre-Christian
writers, originated in the ancient
city of Salamis, Cyprus (now ex
tinct). CvDrus is a Greek island in
the Aegean Sea. Similarly, bologna
originated in Bologna, Italy and the
frankfturer in Franklurt, Germany.
The ancient Komans made sau
sage by seasoning fresh pork . with
chopped pine nuts.
Cavemen cured hams and bacon
by the fires in their caves, and
South Sea islanders buried hams
close to the ocean in I lie sand, leav
ing the salt water to do the curing
for them.
Swine played a heavy part in the
founding of the American meat
packing industry. As the frontier
moved West the Ohio Valley be
came the center ol pork activity,
and Cincinnati became known as
Porkopolis, it having "perfected the
svstem that packs 15 bushels of
corn into a pig and packs that pig
into a barrel and scnd.s mm over
the mountains and over the ocean
to feed mankind," acording to an
early record.
Today, all modern swine are de
scendants of the wild nics of Asia
and Europe. The European pig runs
to bacon types, while the Asiatic to
butcher types. Thus it has been
possible to mould swine in '.he di
rection needed. Pure-bred types,
however, were not originated until
the 17th and 18th centuries. Most
breeds familiar today were dcvel
in Rril.ain or the United
States. The Poland China origin
ated in Ohio; the Chester White in
Pennsylvania; the Hampshire in
England.
Hogs have 44 teeth and carry
their heads close to the ground.

Uncovers War
Bet In Prison
By RALPH TEATSORTH
United Press Staff Correspondent
CABANATUAN, Luzon, P. t.
(UP) It's hard to stop wondering
whether Lt. Irving Rathblott of
1649 North Broad St., Philadelphia,
ever paid that $1,000 bet.
I have documentary proof that
he owes $500 each to Maj. V. O.
McCullum of Carlsbad, N. M., and
Maj. T. B. Smothers of 133
Sprague Street, Winston - Salem,
N. C.
It was a good bet, at that, and
Rathblott came close to winning it.
How do I know about it? Well,
three years ago, I covered the story
of the liberation of more than 500
Anwrlran anH allipri Dfisoners of
wgp ironi' the infamous Japanese
prison camp near L-aoantuana. i
have just returned out of curiosity
to see what has happened to the
old prison camp.
Few Traces Lft
There is hardly a trace of the
camp where veterans of Bataan
and Corregidor "sweated out" most
nf the war. There is no monument
or marker of any kmd to designate
the spot that has an important
nlapp in Pacific war history. A few
scattered concrete foundations and
some rusted bits of barbed wire are
the only signs that the plot was
ever anything more than a cara-
bao grazing place.
Getting back to the bet, 1 found
Annlinar Pfrez. a pleasant little
man who used to be a guerrilla,
working with a gang ol rice nar
vrsters. He lives near the old camp
site and was on hand to help when
the Hangers liberated the prisoners.
Last September, while digging
on the camp site, Perez unearthed
a bottle containing several brown
ing scraps of paper. The bet was
recorded on one of the scraps.
The wager, dated Sept. 26, 1944.
read: "Bet one thousand dollars
that American prisoners of war
now imprisoned in Cabanatuan
prison camp will be free, i.e., under
U. S. control by Dec. 24, 1944, pro
vided they are still in the Philip
pines." Thp signature of Rathblott. as
the proposer of the bet, and those
of McCollum and Smothers, who
took $500 each against him, were
npnciled on the note.
Guessed Very Close
Rathblott was wrong by little
more than a month.
I have no way of knowing
whether the parties to the wager
are still alive. I hope they are and
that Rathblott won't be annoyed
at me for reminding him of the
bet.
Incidentally, the same bottle
contained an order of Gen. Doug
las MacArthur, dated Jan. 15, 1942,
which read in part:
"Help is on the way from the
United States. Thousands of troops
and hundreds of planes are being
dispatched. The exact time of ar
rival of the reinforcements is un
known as they will have to fight
their way through Japanese at
tempts against them.
WEDDING RICE DEPLORED PRANKSTER EMPTIES SCHOOLS
COLUMBUS, O. (UP) Catholics
in the Columbus diocese have been
reminded that the custom of
throwing rice at weddings is waste
ful. In a letter to pastors. Bishop
Michael J. Ready referred to the
practice as "sinfully wasteful to
indulge today" when "food is so
much needed by millions of suffer
ing people."
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Ul'
Mo"t classes in city schools here
were left vacant when someone
posing us the superintendent culled
three radio stations to announce
classes would not l)e held because
of severe cold weather. School of
ficials had a time getting it
straightened out.

Labor Dep't
Cites Climb
Of Wages In
Past Years
Purchasing Power of
Average Factory
Worker Has Doubled
In 35 Years
WASHINGTON (UP) The aver
age factory worker earned $11 a
week when President lalt created
the Labor Dpartment 35 years ago
today.
Since then his average weekly
earnings have risen to $52.
That has meant a 100 per cent
increase in "real wages." the de
partment said in a birthday review
of its activities. In other words,
although the $52 does not buy as
much as $52 would have in 1913. it
does buy more than $22 worth of
goods at 1913 prices.
The reason weekly income does
not buy more is because of current
high prices, the department said.
The Labor Department tloesn i
claim the credit but it is the agency
thai keens the records.
Actual weekly wages fluctuated
considerably in the 35-year period.
The rise in their purchasing power
lias been steady, in contrast. The
record spans World War I, the 1920
depression, 192(1 boom, 1930 de
pression, 1935 recovery, World
War 11, and tile current bourn.
Major Functions
Keeping statistics on earnings
and employment has been one of
the major functions of the dcpait-
ment since its establishment.
President Taft signed the law
creating the cabinet office as his
last official act before putting on
nis high silk bat anil driving to the
capitol to turn over ids office to
Woodrow Wilson.
Tbe new president named Wil
liam 11. W ilson of Pennsylvania, a
member of the United Mine Work
ers, as the first secretary of labor.
James J. Davis, another Pennsyi
canian and one-time member of
the Amalgamated Steel, Iron and
Tin Employes Union, filled the
post under Presidents Harding,
Texas Cowboy Boots
Develop New Look
FORT WORTH, Tex. (UP) An
other new look lias invaded the
West.
Cowboy boots are changing
shape. There is a trend away from
the old Texas trademark of high
heeled boots. Lately, cowmen have
been taking to "low" heels of about
one and one-quarter inch high.
Used to be that cowboys tee
tered around on heels up to three
inches high.
Reason given for the lower heels
is efficiency. While high heels may
look sport', they are impractical
when it conies to Imlldogging or
doing oilier List -jumping chores.
Storage batteries and coverings
for electric cables account for half
the U. S. use of Ic:i'.i.

In 19i:i the department con
sisted of four bureaus - -immigration,
naturalization, labor statistics
and children's. Today its bureaus
and divisions consist of labor sta
tistics, labor standards, employ
ment service, veterans' re-employment
rights, women's, wage-hour,
and apprentice training.
Outside of its jurisdiction are
the powerful National Labor Rela
tions Hoard, Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service, and the
National Mediation Board. All of
them handle various kinds of
labor-management disputes.
TOO BEO AD-MINDED
HARRISBURG, I1L (UP) The
court was examining a prospective
juror for service during a gam
bling probe. "I think the town
should be wide open." the tales
man said. He was dismissed from
jury service.
