Senator PenroSe Aids Reform

From Phila. North Americana
If The North American needed
any justification for having expressed
approval of Senator Penrose's work
in Harrisburg, it would be found
in the cooperation he had from the
Independent legislators. Those men
have surrendered none of their prin-
ciples; they are today, as they have
always been, implacably against
P~enroseism. But above the require
ments of factional opposition they
put the serving of the public inter-
est, and they welcomed, as did this
newspaper, the assistance in a good
cause of the man whom they had
consistently fought and will fight
again If need be.
1t is quite possible that, as our
friend warned us, Senator Penrose
at some time in the future will at
tempt to use for his W purposes
the capital of good repute he has
recently accumulated. If he does so,
then The North American and ali
good independents will stand against
him as they did in the past. But it
Is u deliberate judgment, and has
beer for twenty years. that the most
enective way to get sound,
sive legislation is to make those
who attain power understand that
1t is more profitable to serve the
public welfare than to serve special,
sinister, anti-social interests.

cording to BelieUers, Who GiDe Thanks in the
Basifque For Victory ODer the Huns

~ ACRE COEUR, the white
~ church of Paris" is the shrine
~ of all France now. the place to
which millions turn their thoughts
if not their feet when they give
thanks for the victory for world
democracy. This is why:
Back in the Seventeenth Century
Marguerite-Marie, a nun in the
monastery of Paray-le-Monial, said
hat Christ had appeared to her in
a vision and told her he wished a
church consecrated to his heart
erected in Paris, from which it
would radiate his love over all
France.
1t also was revealed in the vision,
the nun said. that France could not
be happy and peaceful until that
wish was complied with.
King Who Laughed Fell
The story spread and finally
reached the king, but he laughed at
it. Then came the revolution, in
which the ruler, Louis XVI, was
killed. In those days of turmoil all
who had faith in the prophecies of
Marguerite-Marie revived her story,
but the revolutionists were not
much interested in things religious.
In every time of trouble which
followed, the effort to have the
church erected was revived, but not
till the German conquest in 1871
did the nation turn to it, as a last
desperate hope. Immediately after
that disaster the raising of money
for the proposed church began all

Louisiana Oil Output Grows
TFrom the New orleans Item.1

tFrom the New Orleans ITEM
According to late information. the
daily production in the North Louisi-
ana fields is As. 900 barrels, that Of
the Ranger field in Texas approx
mately $4,000 barrels. and hat of
Ine famous Burkburnett. Texas. field
$4,000 barrels. This figure will give
some Idea of the importance of the
North Louisiana territory from an
OIL producing standpoint.
Practically every field in the
united States has been widely adver-
tised and exploited all over the
country and largely developed by
small, independent operators. This
condition has not been true of North
fields. due to the fact that
IN the early days OF it's development.
the production was developed al
most entirely by the three large
companies: The Gulf. Texas and
standard oil Companies.
From the standpoint of cost of
operating and cost of development,
the North Louisiana field is the
cheapest proposition in the United
States to-day. Production is found
al depths ranging from 1.400 to o.
700 feet. with drilling costs rang

THE life of the crowd is, as
Tehekov said, higher and more in

People do not want the vapid stuff
that is fed to them in many theaters
they accept it simply because 1t is
there and nothing else offers. Thea
for going is a habit strongly rooted
in the population of a great city,
an integral part of their social life,
and it takes n great deal to drive
them out of the theater. They will
accent the inferior because the bet
fer sort is not available, but when
worthy fare is set before them they
crowd to 1t. What attracts them in

board and the situation has been ag-
weeks by the heavy rains which
have made logging operations very
difficult and even impossible In
some places. Labor shortage Is also
an important factor In some SEQ
tons.
Although building operations have
started at an enormous rate, with
two or three times the volume of a
year ago. the situation is in general
far from satisfactory. In the first
place, the buyer finds prices high
and uncertain and feels that advan-
tage is being taken OF himi the deal
er himself does not know what the
market is, and the wholesaler is not
justified in sending out his men to
get new ones. If the buyer realizes
that the present topsy-turvy condi-
ton is out of control of the producer

know that the fault is partly mis- be-
cause he did not buy earlier, when
he was urged to do SO, because he
believed hat prices would go down..

UP TO THE MAYOR

people of Harrisburg are
long suffering and kind in their
attitude toward their public of
ficials, but they will not much longer
overlook the indifference 10 their
comfort in the public-be-damned''
front of those who appear to think
the anti-noise campaign is without
justification or reason. Police officials
can stop the cut-out and other
racket in twenty-four hours by
simply enforcing the regulations and
imposing stiff fines and imprison-
ment. if necessary.
Mayor Keister has promised the
Rotary Club his support in that or
ganization's anti-noise campaign. All
the noise is not made by motor
cycles and automobiles, although
trouble. The Mayor has shown
a disposition to go along with
the club in its effort to make the
town reasonably quiet, and If he is
ders to his policemen to enforce the
rules to the letter. The few arrests
that have been made have had a
salutary effect. If the mayor will
make a few examples of fragrant
violators and at the same time take
up the matter of regulation with in
dustries making more noise than
seems necessary much good can be
accomplished. II is very distinctly
up to him and the police. and a
fair start has been made.

A Big Day at OudrrYDiHe

The first airplane to condescend to
visit Quarryville touched the u
one day recently. Its arrival over
the town was not unexpected. In
fact, its coming had beef heralded,
but only those on the inside mao
knowledge of the flier's intention to
alight. 1t was a busy day in Quarry
Vile and the morning time. when
the metropolis of the lower end is
alive with people from the sur
rounding country, but when the
machine descended upon John Nc
Guigan's field of timothy, which is
on the outskirts of the town, the
population was transferred in the
t%winkling of an eye to the scene OF
the landing. From every neighbor-
ing township, nook and corner, rae
tory and field, they came in ma
chimes, on horseback, on foot n on
the u to see the monster. A n.y.
ing machine in repose was a sight
the natives had long been hoping
to see and it was, indeed, a sight.
The pilot was accustomed to meet
ing with the common people. but 1T
remained for Q~uarryville to open the
hier's ewes, to contemplate a DOL
1000 gazers of all ages, from elder
ly ladies, who had suffered with
rheumatism for years, TO DaDeS TOO
young to have their pictures taken.
That timothy of John McGuigan's
covered twenty-five acres, and it
stood four feet high. Substantial
fences encircles the field, and a
babbling brook did little babbling,
hidden beneath the grass and under
brush; comparatively fewpeople were
acquainted with it's existence until
they plunged into it. The fences
went down with the crowd piling on
them. Horses were hitched to
everything, from a bean pole to a
barbed-wire fence, automobiles In
mud puddles congested all ravel
from Camargo to Tanktown, tres
nassine was the disorder of the day.
| Altogether it was one of the great
est affairs Quarryville had ever seen
and the show was continuous. for
hours the pilot tried in vain to raise
his plane from the timothy, ana
finally he found it necessary TO deal
with Farmer McGuigan to make nay
hurriedly. A path of sufhclent
width was moved, and about . p m.
the machine arose, to soar north-
ward. Nothing but h arrival OF
the devil on the back of the Kaiser
could have occasioned greater eX-
element in Quarryville than the inl-
tial descent of an airplane from the
clouds.-George w. Hensel in phil
adelphia North American.
