 There's no occasion whatever for a man to kiss his sister-in-law. It is decidedly, not proper. Betrothed men have little love for sweethearts if they correspond with others; raising their hopes thus deceiving the engaged girl as well and keeping her from others.

ToDAY's POEM
HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLE

 In the FIoue of Too Much Trouble Lived a lonely little boy; He was eager for a playmate, He was hungry for a toy, But twas always too much bother, Too much dirt and too much noise For the House of Too Much Trouble Wasn't Meant for little boys. And sometimes the little fellow Left book upon the floor, Or forgot and laughed too loudly, Or he failed to close the door; In a House of Too Much Trouble Things must be precise and trim In a House of Too Much Trouble There was little room for him. He nut never scatter playthings, He must never romp and play; Ev'ry room umut be in order And keep quiet all the day; He had never had companions, He had never owned pet In the House of Too Much Trouble It is trim and quiet yet. Ev'ry room is set in order Every book is in it's place, And the lonely little fellow Wears a. smile upon his face, In the House of Too Much Trouble He is silent and at rest In the House of Too Much Trouble, With a, lily on his breast.

CENsORIAL COWARDICE

TIHE latest indignity of the Board OF Nov
i ing Picture Censors passes beyond all
limits OF endurance. Hitherto, in the absurd
conceptions of obnoxious pictures the board
has, at least acted with a pretended respect
for the law which created it, In censoring a
moderate and perfectly legitimate attack on
themselves the eensors have. however, over
stepped the line OF morality. They have made
their Office a political power.
II is obviously eowardice that dictated this
ridiculous act Of selfdefense. The picture In
question drew a quite accurate, but by no
means new, parallel between the newspaper,
the pulpit and the moving picture. The cen
sors forbade leader" which begged the
spectators to think on the subject OF censor

IF you believe in the freedom OF the screen,

no need 70 quote further. Obviously to the

Byberry Power Plant

Editor Of "WhGt Do You RnoD"-In several
of the Philadelphia newspapers see that it says
the power plant is going to be built at Bybery
Farm The money appropriated In 1914
Will you kindly inform me why the Blankenburg
administration did not build this plant, as
have had an argument with friend OF mine
over this matter, in which claim they could
not draw the money to do the work with and hs
claims 1t was the Blankenburg administering
fault? II. j. f.
The money for the construction of power
plant at Byberry Farm was appropriated In 1914.
Plans for extensive plant were prepared By
Philip johnson, but failed TO meet with the ap
proval of Mayor Blankenburg and former Direc
tor of Public Works Norris L. Cooke. The plans
revised, but again failed to meet the re
qurements demanded by Mayor Blankenburg,
who wanted completely new set Of ideas OUT
lined. better adapted for the colony idea which
Is being carried out at the Byberry institution
The drawing and redrawing of the plans con.
sumed many months, and finally johnson and
the Mayor came to an open break. When Df
rector Krusen was appointed by the new admin
istration, and Harry Mace chosen as his
assistant, they went over the plans prepared oy
Johnson and finally after a number of revlslon2
accepted them The contracts for the work Wers

short of a brazen insult 10 the citizens living In

Light Company TO be sufficient reason for block

not the 21st ward have transit facilities? Other

miles possessing more beautiful and healthful
residence sites than RoNborough. All lanes lead

PRICE OF GERMANY's BREAD
Lower Than England's, According to Fam
Gus Rhenish Paper

Better prices prevail in Germany than I'm
England, far bread is concerned So at
least we learn from the semiofieial Koelnische

for economy:
'In London nowadays Wheat-hOur costs s12T5
a sack; at the beginning Of December, 1915. the
price S11.75; In December 1914, 1925; and
in December, 1913 only s6.75. In other words,
the price of flour has almost doubled In England
since peace times. These figures form an ironlc
criticism OF the English attempt to starYe as
out Even II such . policy were possible. Ii
must be observed that England Is now begin

this assertion lies In the difference OF prices

A MEASURE oR HEAVEN

Heaven is no larger than Connecticut;
No larger than Fairfield County; no, no larger
Than the little Valley of the Silvermine
The white sun visits and the wandering showers
For there is room enough for springs return,
For lilac evenings and the rising moon,
And time enough for autumn's idle days,
When soul is ripe for Immortality.
And then when winter comes with smoldering
dusk
To kindle rosy flames upon the hearth,
And hang its starry belt upon the night,
One fireit room is large enough for heaven
For all we know of wisdom and Of love,
And the eternal welfare of the heart
