New York, Jan. 16.-The concerted
and fairly successful attempts of
confident and widely extended short
interest constituted the outstanding
feature of today's heavy to weak stock
market session.
Eliminating rails and seasoned in
dtIstriafs of the steel and equipment
classes, in which recessions were" rel
atipeIy nominal, declines of two to ten
points were registered by the general
list with virtually no recovery at the
unsettled close. @
Prices were reactionary from the
outset, contrary to the hopes OF those
traders who sought TO extract de-
gree of comfort from easier rates for
demand loans and the failure of the
federal reserve bank to advance in

THE COUNTY HEALTH CENTER

Inc intensive nealCn campaign uoW
being carried on in Upshur County
has already justified the claim that
a county or community health center
is a necessity if health conservation
is to be hoped for.
The dentists and physicians making
the examinations agree that they find
the children in Upshur County some
what above the average, still the re-
suits show about ninety GER cent of
the children deficient. Most of the
deficiency, however, is easily corrected.
Decayed teeth, enlarged tonsils, ade-
noids, improper carriage and use of
the body and general ignorance OF
personal hygiene, both on the part OF
children and parents, all these could
be avoided, and most of them would
be if under the direction of a proper
ly managed local health center.
It is gratifying to see how quick
" the public grasps the significance
CT venereaI disease control and what
a. important part it is destined to
pay in the future health conserva-
!, ton.

PEOPLE Will TALK

You may get through the world but
it win be very slow:
If you listen to all that is said as
you go;
Youth be worried and kept in stew
For meddlesome tongues have
something to do,
And people viii talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed
You're a wolf in Sleeps clothing or
else you're fool;
But don't get excited-keep per
fectly cool,
For people must talk.
If threadbare your dress or old fash
Toned your hat;
Someone will surely take notice Of
that;
And bent very strongly that you CAM
pay your way;
But don't get excited whatever they
say
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to say.
If your suit is the fashion, dom
think to escape,
For they criticise then in differ
ent shape;
You are ahead of your means or you
tailor unpaid;
But mind your own business there
naught to be made,
For people will talk.
Now best way to do is to do as yor
please,
For your mind; if you have one
will then be at ease.
Of course you'll meet all sorts o
abuse,
But don't think to stop them 70
it is no use
For people must talk.

NEW RED CROSS MANAGER

WARRINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-Of
interest to the 100000 members in
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia was the
appointment, February 9th, of Thorn
as DeCoursey Ruth of Baltimore, as
manager of the Potomac Division,
American Red Cross.
This important post has been va
cant since January %, 1919, at which
time Col. William Cary Sanger re-
SIGNED. In the meantime Keith
Spaulding and David H. Brown officl-
ated as acting managers. Henry
White, former ambassador to France
was the first manager and predeces-
sor of Col Sanger, reliquishing the
position to go overseas as member
of the Peace Conference.
Mr.. Ruth was educated in the pub
lie and private schools OF Baltimore
and received the degrees OF A. b. and
Phi. D. at John Hopkins University.
He has been engaged in active teach
ing for more than ten years, having
held. among other positions, that OF
Master in Latin at the Gilman Country
School for Boys, Baltimore, 19O9-l9-
10. Instructor in Classics at Prince
ton from 1912-1915, Lecturer in Latin
at Bryn Mawr College, 1916-19l7 and
| Headmaster of St, Paul's School for
Bows, Baltimore, from 1917 until April
1918.
! In the spring of 1918 Mr. Ruth en-
tered the army, commissioned as a
first Lieutenant and assigned to duty
with the Military Intelligence D1vl-
sion of the General Staff. He rose to
the rank of major before his dis
charge, October 1, 1919. With the
exception of two weeks spent at the
Port of Embarkation at Hoboken, N
J.. he was stationed in Washington
throughout his army service. He was
about to sail for France when the
armistice was declared.
| When Mr.. Ruth entered upon his
new duties, he was accorded hearty
welcome by his directors and associate
directors. He stated that for the
present the policies of the admins
tration would continue and paid a
tribute to the work accomplished by
Mr.. Brown, who will remain in the or
ganization as associate manager. The
Potomac Division comproses 1877 chap
tiers.

MINERS WAGES NOT HIGH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February
23-Now that the Bituminous Coil
Commission, appointed by Preside.f
Wilson to investigate and decide the
questions involved in the bituminous'
coal strike, has completed its formal
hearings at Washington and has Ia
ken the case under advisement, it IS
interesting to note the Completeness
Of the evidence presented by the
United Mine Workers of America on
the subject Of the amount Of wages
earned by the miners. Due to prop
aganda- on the part of the operators,
the public was led to believe that
coal miners earned fabulous wages,
and that, therefore, they were not en-
titled to any increase at this time.
And in order to establish this point
I before the Commission, the operators
offered in evidence the pay rolls OF
a few selected mines in the Central
! Comdetitive Field In this way they
sought to show that miners earned
as much as SIS day.
The miners said it was unfair to
ask the Commission to measure the
earnings Of the average miner by the
earnings of the highest paid men IN
the mines under these Circumstances
1t was brought out by the miners
that the basic wage rate, fixed in the
past agreement between miners and
4 operators, is SIS a day, to which has
recently been added the IA percent
increase allowed by the Fuel Admin
istration. Authentic figures were
presented by the miners to show tina
the average man in and around thu
mines earns all the way from S3.1'
to $3.50 day, with only few allow
S5.7O, even since the IA per cent wa
added.
Machine runners are only small
percent of the total number OF mel
employed in a mine, and they worl
on a tonnage basis, which, togethe
with long hours, accounts for thel
earnings.

A DREAMERS DREAM FROM
BELINGTON

As | lay in my bed few NIGHTS
ago | had a dream. | saw In the
north a great light that lightened the
whole world and | looked toward the
south and saw a small crowd OF peo-
pie and | said, who are they? and
they said, this is the remnant of the
Democratic party. And looked IN
the north and | beheld an innumer-
able host that no man could number
and said, who are they and they
said, it is the Republican party that
have gathered together to save the
country, and | saw a great many old
men with gray hair and bending
bodies with feeble steps, and SAID,
who are they, and they said we are
the old union soldiers who saved the
country and maintained our union.
And / looked again and saw great
had appear in the skies and 1t wrote
and | could not understand it and sent
for the wisemen of the north to IN
terpret it and they did SO and they
said that the Democratic party mad
been Judged, weighed in the balance
and found wanting and that their
rule was wicked one and that their
kingdom was to be taken from them
and that the Republican party was to
he restored and that the American
people are to RULE WITH A ODDLY
HAND and are to have free speech
and free press and 10, ! was happy
and thought that old John Barley
corn had been returned. l looked
again and saw John was dead, also
the Democratic party and | said amen.
And / aroused from my sleep and
thought in the language OF the
prophet that in those days the old
men shall dream dreams and the
Young men shall see visions, so gooo
bye to John Barley corn and the Dem
ocrat party.
LET fate do her worst,
There are relics of joy.
Bright dreams Of the past
She never can destroy"

A VENEREAL CENSUS

An order from the War Depart
ment prescribes venereal census to
be made of each army camp or post
each week, and the findings of gon-
orrhea and syphilis with all informa-
ton to be transmitted to the COM
manding officer. All findings are to
be collected and the efficiency of the
army is to be estimated largely on
the result.
This will mean that any company
or camp which is verify largely infec-
ted with these diseases will be to a
certain extent lose cast, and their
standing will be lowered. Education
al measures with recreational and vo-
cational training will it is hoped,
overcome the necessity Of drastic
punishment for moral infractions.
With the Government taking the
lead in this social effort, it ought to
be easy for the civil authorities to
suppress prostitution and promote sex
education in the school and home.
The Bureau of Venereal Diseases
now being operated by the U. S. Pub
lie Health ervice in cooperation with
the West Virginia State Department
of Health is seeking that end in our
state.
