SIDE TALKS
 
Substitutes For Sympathy
Say Charge It
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Have you met that type of peT- son." writes a letter friend, who, when you are telling her how hard you have to work to keep three strenuous youngsters clean and we'll and happy, and your house in order, without any help, and how fearfully tired and nervous and sick of it all you get sometimes, answers without spark of sympathy. Well, most of us have been through it. I had four children in eight years myself. v or something to that effect? And doesn't fl make you feel as if you had had a slap in the face?"
 l have. and it does.
 When one asks for the bread of sympathy. one does not want the stone of an I've -stood-and -I-guess- you-can attitude.
 The Biggest Lesson of Suffering.
 And the person who offers it shows he has missed the biggest lesson of harsh experience, which is to be able to give sympathy to those who are facing such experiences
 Not to have learned sympathy through suffering, is to have failed in life"
 HN SIAAl1lefI JOD ; CO11IOGISr IS the person who reminds you how much worse off someone else is than you ] suppose it ought to help us to re- member that sort of thing, but some how 1t doesn't, very much. It's about as hard to comfort yourself for the aching loss Of a dear relative by hear ing of someone who has lost his whole family in some holocaust, as it would he to satisfy ones hunger by reading over the mCnu of a banquet
 Moreover if the person who calls your attention to the misfortune greater than yours. is himself snugly free from misfortune. this insistence that you be thankful for your com parative immunity somehow lacks force.
 Nothing Comforts Like Genuine
 Sympathy.
 A When person is having hard time and comes to you for sym pathy, the best thing you can give him is just sympathy,-just a tender recognition of his sufferings. and the feeling that you are truly sorry for him. No ready-made optimism, no fine sounding exhortations to courage, can help so much as that.

 "A Broadway Scandal" proved all the management said about it, as it brought Kenneth Harlan and Carnael Myers into series of mix-ups. that kept the house wondering how. they would get out; but as usual it endGI happily. The courtroom scene is d particularly pathetic one.
 '"The Lions Claws" with Marie Walcamp, The Bulls Eye.' with Eddie Polo. are the two serial pfc- lures. Current Events an Elcn comedy and the Screen Magazine complete the picture program.

STEELTON HAS 2
SMALLPOX CASES
Board of Health Reports Quar-
antine of Front Street
Residence Today

Two cases of smallpox in five days
have been discovered by the local
board of health and state officials.
Mrs. Foy, GAG North Front street, ac-
cordtng to health officials is suffering
from the malady.
The home has been quarantined
for several days pending a consulta-
ton. This morning the quarantine
was placed on the residence official
ly. There are four persons living in
the home, several are school chill
dren. The health official said this
morning that the children have not
been in school for several days and
1T will not be necessary to fumisate
the rooms in which they attended
sessions. The occupants of the house
will be Vaccinated at once.
The other case was discovered in
a Main street boarding house on
Saturday night. The house was quar-
antined at once and the twenty occu-
pants vaccinated.
Every effort is being made by the
health officials to see that those who
are quarantined do not break the law
and leave the houses.

WORKERS FIND
GOLD QUEST IS
DISAPPOINTING
Lack of Steady Work at Hog
Island OverbalanceS
High Wages

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-Thousands
of mechanics and laborers who sew
eral months ago abandoned good
positions to seek treasure at the Hog
Island Shipyards are beginning to
learn that all that glitters is not
gold.
Often had they heard the story
told, and if they had remembered
it they would not now be out in the
cold, according to testimony pre-
sented yesterday at the concluding
session of the National Shipbuild-
ing Labor Adjustment Board at the
Hotel Walton.
The greater part of the session
was given over to complaints about
wages being paid at the American
International Shipbuilding Corpora
tion's plant on the southwestern
edge of the city. The rates offered
were so alluring, it was said, that
many a sensible head was filled with
get-rich- quick and forty miner"
ideas. But it appears that working
conditions at the plant, certain con-
tract systems under which the men
are employed and the delays in the
delivery of materials to the yards
make steady and profitable work al
most impossible.
