Tonaue-End Topics
Longed for the Stars and Stripes

The prevailing decoration in Harris
burg for iremen S week was the Amer
lean flag and no prettier decoration
could have been chosen. Outside of the
patriotism in the selection the combina.
tion of colors is beautiful. Walking
down Second street on Thursday after
noon was party of women, all of whom
were admiring the decorations.
There was a time in the last
month, said one of them, "when the
sight of an American flag would have
gladdened my heTt beyond measure.
Our party were caught in a German
city and we were regarded with sus-
tdcion as being English Do what we
could to dispel that idea many of the
Germans we met in that city would not
believe that we were Americans If we
were Americans, they said, why didn Z
we show an American flag? Alas, the
only American flag we took along was
small one, and it was locked up in
our baggage, hopelessly lost. Finally,
through the efforts of the American con-
sui we managed to get out of Germany
and into France where we remained un-
molested until we found way to get
to London, and thence home. | made
my resolve as soon as I saw the Statue
of Liberty in New York harbor never to
travel abroad again unless I kept
small American flag where I could get
it on short notice 1t certainly is pro-
tection.'

Still Pursue Horse Thieves

One might think that with the gen,
eral use of the telephone in the rural
districts there would no longer be any
necessity for the keeping up of the old
time horse and mule protection associa-
tions, formed many years ago to run
down horse thieves, yet these organiza-
tions still exist and do good work.
Deputy Secretary of the Common wealth
Hertzler, of Port Royal Juniata coun-
ty, is member of one of these COM
panies that has been in existence MANY
years and is still active. In its entire
existence the association has never fail
ed to recover the stolen animal and
capture the thief. This is because of its
thorough system of work. When a horse
is stolen the fact is at once reported
to one of the officers of the association
with description of the animal. AT
once the members of the association in
the vicinity of the owner of the animal
stolen are notified, and men who are
called "pursuers are sent out over
every route likely to be taken by the
thief. From Miffintown station there
are sixteen different routes that a.
thief can take, but on each one of
those routes two men start after the
thief and stolen property. From every
other town in Juniata county routes
lead in every direction, and a thief has
mighty little chance of getting away,
for every route is so we'll covered that
escape is simply impossible The sys-
tenn has been perfected by the asso-
citation so that it never fails to work.
Once year the association meets to
elect officers and complete its list of
reserves, - who watch the home trails.
and 'pursuers who do the chasing.
Juniata county s 'blooded stick is always
safe.

Had to Make American Flags

The trouble three Reading women had
IN Germany when the war broke out
was recently related by the relative OF
one of them who resides in Harrisburg.
They were taken for English women,
and despite their assertions that they
were Americans the Germans would not
have it so-they surely were English
They hunted in every store for an
American flag, but the closest approach
they could get to it were couple of
small American flag stick-pins which
they bought and wore. Even this did
not satisfy the Germans, so, in despera-
alton, the three women set about max.
ing some small American flags, getting
red, white and blue CLOTH They made
three rather crude ones, but the flags
answered the purpose and they were not
annoyed any more, getting away in
safety, but losing all their baggage.
While of German descent, vet all of
them agree that as protection the
American flag is potent and they have
laid in stock of small silk flags to
nave handy in case of emergencies.

CANDIDATES IN THE PULPIT

At the morning, afternoon and evening services
in the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal church to-
morrow addresses to be made by Martin G.
Brumbaugh Vance C. Mccormick and Clifford
Pinchot, men who are at present among the most
prominent in the public eye in Pennsylvania, in
cludlng among them the next Governor of the
state whichever way the election may go.
1t is not usual thing for candidates of opposing
political parties to speak in a church, yet it is not
harmful thing. In this instance personal politics
and party differences avowedly are to be omitted
from the discussions, the speakers to conine them
selves to the socaled moral issues of the present
campaign.
Because candidates for office do not frequently
occupy pulpits to discuss issues of campaign
objections may be raised to the arrangements at the
Fifth Street church, just as more or less obiec-
tons are raised to practically all innovations in
church activities. This particular church is ac-
customed to doing unusual things urged by the
progressive spirit which is melting many evangel-
ical churches these days to establish precedents
So long as personal political differences are not
referred to by the candidates for office it seems
that there be no logical objection to their dis
cussng the issues of the present campaign from the
pulpit. Since moral issues have taken such prom.
lnent places in the platforms of political parties,
churches are, or should be- more concerned than
formerly in the outcome of an election
Church and state were at one time in very close
relationship. History shows that the relationship
was IN many respects far from being beneficial
one to either the spiritual or the temporal institu
tions. Modern ideas do not favor interference bv
the state in church affairs nor by the church in
state affairs. Politics and religion have a few
things in common, however and so far as these
things are concerned it is well for politicians and
church members to get together
Candidates for office are appealing TO the church
people to support them, and in recent conferences
OF clergymen and laymen of churches of different
denominations resolutions were adopted endorsing
particular candidates. Action of this sort has been
taken because candidates have expressed themselves
IN favor of.principles for which the church people
believe it is their duty to contend
The attitudes of office-seekers regarding the So
called moral issues sometimes be msunder
stood or their utterances msinterpreted If church
members have the opportunity, however, of hear
ing the candidates themselves explain from the
pulpit their views on vital questions of the dav the
voters OF the congregation should certainly be able
to go more inteligently to the polls next month.

THE YOUNG GIRL AND HER MUSIC

The following interesting letter written TO the
editor of the Star-lndependent by Mrs A. Mary
Lush Geiger of indianapolis, Indiana, raises point
that may be discussed with profit:

cannot but after repeated entreates careey reach
piano, dash off the most intricate production sufficient to
make Apoo's hair stand up Always pleasantly and
play something short and you will only be
most highly appreciated but the admiration of all
present
1t doubtless is true that many girls and young
women OF musical attainments pretend to be EN-
barrassed when asked to play in public when as a
fact they flattered at the request and hold
back simply because they like to be coaxed" 1t
appeals to their pride to be urged to perform and
the urging they receive the more they like it
but this class always ends by yielding after
their admirers stock of persuasive eloquence is
nearing exhaustion.
The writer of the letter that we quote above
however, fails to take into consideration that there
are many young women and girls, who are bud
ding musicians who experience genuine embarrass
ment when they are asked to play in public. The
embarrassment that they experience in playing is
far greater than the embarrassment they may cause
their mothers in refusing to play when group of
guests makes the request.
The modesty that a young girl displays through
her tlmidity in such circumstances is one of her
most lovely qualities and it should not be ruthlessy
ignored. To try to force child, who genuinely
shrnks from the publicity of the thing, to play
when her dread of it is very apparent, amounts to
nothing less than cruelty that kind parents will
not intentionally infct
Everything should be DONE of course, to encour-
age young musician to overcome such timidity
but it must be done through kindness and not by
show of impatence to force her to play when it is
evident that the prospect terrifes her. real
musician gains confidence in herself as her knowl-
edge of music increases and this increasing conf
dence, as she grows older will enable her finally to
overcome her embarrassment. Forcing her to play
when it is genuinely distastefu to her to do so is
more likely to induce her to grow to hate her music
than to endeavor to make herself more proficient.
