THE GREATEST BUICK
EVER BUILT
OGLE'S GARAGE
GRIM BORDER SENTRY IS
TO BECOME MUSEUM
OLD STONE GUARDIAN ON CAN
ADIAN FRONTIER WILL FLY
THREE FLAGS
BUFFALO, March 21. (,/P)—A grim
two-century old stone guardian at the
only occupied United States army post
on the Canadian border is due to bear,
before the year is ended, the flags of
j three great nations which have fought
I bloody battles over it.
The old “Castle’’ at Ft. Niagara is
filled with relics of France, Britain
on the way to becoming a museum
and the United States. The army is
now engaged in preliminary restora
tion with $5,000 appropriated by Con
gress, and more has been asked in
order to complete the work by fall.
Promises of relics from both sides of
the border forecast a rich supply of
historic antiques.
CHILEAN PRISONERS CAN
STRIKE EOR MORE PAY
SANTIAGO, March 21. (JP)—
even prisoners have the working
man’s right to strike. Their demands
are considered and are dealt with
much in the same way as are those of
free men.
The prisoners employed in the shoe
factory of the Santiago penitentiary
recently took advantage of this right
and went on strike for an increase in
their pay, which is $1.50 daily. The
movement was settled without .disor
der, although the strikers -were com
pelled to be content with a better
ment of food rather than more wages.
The prisoners wrork under favor
able conditions, among which is an
eight-hour day. The rate of pay is
good as compared with wages outside
the prison. Each inmate who enteis
the penitentiary without a trade is
obliged to learn one while there.
