to them has been made, viz. that
these balls will only be held one
month, after which time thew will
be sold. Members are requested to
ask Skinny to return them before
they are sold.
For the first time in the last six
years, Reservoir Park was not rem
resented in the Invitation Tourna-
ment held by the Altoona Cricket
Club, at Altoona, during the past
week. Usually four or five of the
PLAYERS have made this trip and us
ualiy some of them have been for
tunate enough to come home with
prizes.
Thomas T. Cook, q former Har-
risburger, and a member of the
Reservoir Club, was out on Sat,lr-
day meeting old friends and planv-
ing over the course. Mr.. Cook has
more than made good with the Bell
Telephone Company, and is now
located at Baltimore, Md.
After this week it will be a lucky
player at Reservoir Park who is
able to play there during the week
with the aid of the caddie. School
starting is the reason for the com
ing dearth. Caddies were plenty dur
ing the summer. but now an added
hardship is thrust on the fat player
when he has to carry his own clubs.
Fl. E. (Skip) Perry Is playing n
wonderful game of golf at Reser-
voir Park. He frequently makes II
in bogey or less and always shines
in match play. His match with 7
d. Smith this week was a thriller
and went 20 holes before he won.
He is now looked upon as the prob
able. winner Of the F. D. Harry cur.

NOT EASY TO REPEAL.

The railroad brotherhoods, whose representa-
tives failed to reach an agreement with the
companies at the conference held in New York
City last week on the application of the Adam
son ''eight- hour law, may find it more diff
cult to secure the repeal Of that measure, in
case it proves wholly unsatisfactory, than it
was to arrange for its enactment. While the
immediate cause of the conference failure was
the refusal of the roads to yield to the demand
of the union men that pending decision on
the constitutionality of the law members of the
brotherhoods receive the increased wages, It Is
no secret that neither party to the controversy
is pleased with the act as it stands. 1t is said
what appears to be good authority that last
September, when the Adamson bill was before
congress, the railroads were ready to grant the
eight hour day on condition that the brother
hoods repudiate the measure. If that offer
was made, it was declined by the trainmen s
leaders. The bill was enacted, and the law
will be put in operation, unless the supreme
court declares it invalid. There is talk of re-
peal, but nothing to indicate that congress,
which accepted part Of the presidents plan
for settlement Of the strike question, is ready to
reverse the hasty action taken when Washing
ton was peculiarly sensitive to political in
fluences.

COMMUNITY
SONG WEEK
Superintendent Of Instruction Urges
State to Join National Move
ment In February.

A.. NJ. Deyoe, superintendent Of
public instruction, today will send
out a proclamation announcing an
Iowa week Of community singing
February Is 20 "a, in order to "eradi-
cate the promiscious influence of
much Of the so-called popular music"
In part, M. Deyoe says:
1.-THE suggestion has come to this
department that the week of Feb
ruary, 1924, 1877, be set apart as q
week OF national song. TO this we
readily give Cur support and here
with send our heartiest encourage
ment for the PRONUNCIATION OF the
general plan of making permanent
the best that the nation possesses in
the way of musical training. and
thus seek to eradicate the pernici-
GUS influences of much Of the So
called popular music
Let us organize so that our people
may become better acquainted with
the best in song; that our young
people, especially, may learn to know
the difference between the songs Of
noble sentiment and those of senti-
mentalism; that the songs of home
and native land may become part
Of our very being
Community singing may prof1tahly
become a feature of community ac-
t.vities. Is it not possible to bring
hack. from the years of the recent
past the best of the old type Of
singing school. with the monotony Of
the long winter evening relieved
through the Intervention of musical
application? Let all the people join
/ in the community program OF song.
Let as many Of the young people as
possible learn to sing and we be-
lieve their lives will be made better
and happier thereby.
IF q suggestion might be made, 1t
would be that Sunday evening be
devoted to sacred music Ia the
churches; Monday to the subject OF
Juvenile music; Tuesday to instru-
mental music; Wednesday to COM
posers; Thursday (Washington's
/ birthday to rational and patriotic
music: while the last program of the
school week be given over entirely

For martyr lips which have not failed
To give God praise and smile to rest.
For knighIly souls which have not tiuaiied

We give Thee thanks for all, for all
For each fair field, where golden stubble
Hath followed wealth Of waving grain;
For every passing wind Of trouble
Which bends Thy grass that lifts again:
For gold in mine that men must seek,
For work which bows the sullen knee:
For strength, swift sent to aid the weak,
For love by which climb to Thee;
Thy freemen. Lord, yet each Thy thrall.
We give Thee praise for all, for all.

HISTORICAL ECONOMISTS.

At the time the war began, more attention
was being paid to moral welfare than at any
other period of the world s history. immortality
had been reduced to statistics, the uplift was
proceeding on an exact scientific formula More
was being written about prostitution than about
tuberculosis; divorce was a bigger subject
than sanitation We were at the crest of a
crusade against social ills. 1t looked like an
era of social justice for morality's sake.
Then the war.
And now, after some two years Of fighting
and starving-where are the morals Of yester-
year?
Beginning with a sfuddering discussion Of
the ..war babies and ''war brides IF Europe,
the work advanced-ninus the shudder-to
still holder ground Social problems incident
to the war were first mentioned with horror
and pity now they are contemplated, it seems,
with the calm eye of economic research. The
horror seems to have receded, the pity is
changed to a sort of greedy zeal. Writers Oh
European domestic affairs discuss the problem
of the illegitimate child as an equation Of econ
omics not as a moral terror. Europe, it ap-
pears. is more interested in counting noses
than in creating character; more anxious to
breed persons than to develop personages. The
wastage of peace is the salvage Of war: even
as potato parings may grow precious in food
famine. SO may the waits of moral misfortunes
be welcomed in a reduced population
So much for the tone in the writings OF
the moraEsts-so much for the recommended
tons toward legalizing the Illegal polygany,
free love, state breeding and all the other des-
perate devices advocated in sober language by
frightened patriots
But the result has to be considered as well
as the fact. If the fact is astounding the re-
suit is appalling. After building a careful
moral code, with the home as foundation
and religion as an authority. the world hears
these scholars of economies propose return to
first principles. After scoding and Furnishing

cent violence, Europe is urged to borrow a

CALIFORNIA, TRoUBLEMAKER.

It is possible that the entire Japanese ques-
ton in California will be reopened through a
case now in the courts of the state Twelve
years ago Yukihi Harada entered this country
without resources other than strong arms and
a stout heart. He is now the proprietor of a
paying restaurant, married and the father Of
three children Finding it impossible to rent
a home he deemed suitable to his circumstances
he purchased, as trustee for his three children,
a comfortable home in Riverside. When the
family moved in delegation of neighbors re-
quested that they vacate. Harada declined.
He was offered a bonus of five hundred dollars
over the purchase price if he would sell and he
again declined. The attorney general Of Cali
fornia was appealed to and he directed suit
against Harada under the provisions of the act
which denies aliens ineligible to citizenship the
right to hold real property in California The
three American born children, for whom Ha
rada acts as trustee, will be American citizens
on attaining their majority. The state conten-
ton is that the trusteeship is an evasion of the
law The defense is denial of the right Of a
state to pass laws in conflict with existing
treaties. The case has already been noted by
both the Washington and Toxic governments
and is admittedly Of international Importance.
The situation is to he further complicated, it is
threatened by the introduction in the Cali
fornia legislature Of bills to extend the scope Of
the existing anti-Japanese legislation So it
seems that California is almost certain to retain
its unenviable distinction of being classed with
international troublemakers.
