Girls with large ears should cheer up.
The fashion now says you must uncover
your ears so far as your hair is con-
cerned, but the winter season is upon
us and you may wear "ear-bobs."
The bravest man every so often is
afraid to face the truth.
The reason you are only fifty per
cent efficient today is because you
were one hundred per cent inefficient
last night.
1t is even more difficult to keep your
outgo from going out than to keep your
income coming in.

NOW, WHAT?

Germany is understood to have de-
clared that she is no longer bound to
yield her colonies in accordance with
the peace treaty, on the ground that
mandates for them were to be dis
tributed by the league Of nations, which
was not done. This will be a sad blow
to England, which got about four-fifths
Of them, parcelled out by the Big Four
in Paris.

Owing to the shortage and high price
of labor and materials, to the lack of
open top equipment on the railroads,
and to the condition of the bond mar
ket, very little of this money as yet has
been expended.
During 1920 total of $309, 10000 of
state highway bonds have been voted
as follows:

DANCE AND STAY YOUNG

Editor Sentinel: Will you give me
little space to discuss the dancing
question? l have something I would
like to say in the matter.
Dancing is all right according to
my creed. But there must be pro-
priety, same as at Sunday school
picnic. If you are going swimming
it is recognized to dress accordingly;
but it doesn't look good to me to see
young people dressed for dance or
a Sunday school picnic as they would
to 60 swimming. Perhaps you get
my point.
At Euclid Beach dancing pavilion
"a public dance, by the way-you
must stand, dance and hold your
hands in respectful way; you must
be gent or a lady, and if you not
/ are are denied the floor. If you are
dancing in public hall and the man
ager has not the backbone to see that
others dance respectfully you can
leave the floor and in this way avoid
things that are unseemly.
have seen many ungentlemanly
acts committed at church socials,
lodge socials and other entertain
ments; things that crept in from a
lack Of supervision; and I have heard
people declare that certain church
social was an ungodly affair. But the
trouble was in the supervision and
with no necessity to taboo all socials.
Harm can be made of dancing, that
| all must concede. I have known Of
harm that came to young people
courting, but one will hardly advo-
cate marriage Fright off the bat" and
with no opportunity to become ac-
quainted.
If protesting pastors would use the
same breath with which they protest
to try and iron out the Objectionable
things they see in dancing, and not
challenge the rights of the individual
to do some things he don't care to do,
they might do more for the uplift oil
young people than they are. now ac-
complishing. A broad minded pastor
can lead young men and women, but
he can't drive them very far in any
one direction. Thou shalt nots" have
lost much of their popularity in this
generation, and they are not likely to
recover their lost ground soon.
AT the public dance halls operated
BY Cleveland municipality there are
censors Of the dance and dress of the
girls. "A knowledge Of what will be
permitted leads to few attempts to
break over the rule. Church people
have had an influence in making bet
ter. theatricals, and a large per cent
Of church people patronize them, Sc
why not try and censor the dance
morally at least, and get better social
conditions in SO doing.
Dancing was the principal diversion
In the Solomon harem, and the more
sensuous the better half-drunken Sol.
omon was pleased. But in one sermon
the same man that tells you Of The
evils Of dancing will turn about and ir

SWEEP THE WALKS

Editor: Why don't the renters of
the Neumeyer block ever clean off
their sidewalk, especially these
snowy mornings? The memory of
man runneth not far enough back in
to the past to recollect the time that
this was done, and one man assures
me it was never done since the block
was completed.
Then, too, the Mayor himself lives
there, must Of necessity wade
through the snow, to get out, and
never says a word at this imposition.
A poor man would be fined if he
failed to clean his walk, why not a
rich man? And as the Mayor lives
right in the block he can't fail to see
this laxness. I'm tired of wading
snow back and forth in front of this
nice block; let's have it cleaned or a
fine for Council pin money.
SNOW-BOUND.

Because / don't live a mile and half
