part in the original campaign, from
members Of churches who did not sub.
scribe then and from other persons who

Labor Saving Devices
Boon to Housewife

An old Chinese proverb expresses
the thought that "a hundred men
make an encampment, lat it takes a
woman to make a home" And next
to her family there's nothing dearer
to woman's heart than her home.
First comes the delight in furnish
ing it and then comes the desire to
keep it always as sweet and clean a,
it was when new. The keeping of a
home is not the laborious task that it
was in days gone by. Home-making
is a pleasure when done in the mod
ern fashion and takes but one-third
the time.
Mans genius for invention has been
applied recently to problems domestic
and of the hundred and one labor-sav-
ing appliances, the suction cleaner has
contributed lnuch to the comfort and
leisure.
First we had to endure the dust
scattered broom and the task of dust
ing afterwards, for the broom really
only removed the dirt from one place
to another Then the carpet sweeper
made its bow, only to be replaced Ly
the more efficient electric cleaner.
And by these steps we have arrived at
the easiest, most sanitary and thor
ough method of cleaning the home
and keeping il always neat and clean
In the living room are rugs, perhaps
highly priced, with delicate colorings
easily dimmed by dirt. They should
be kept clean for it is dirt that cuts
the nap and shortens the life of rugs.
1t is not hard to keep them clean with
a modern cleaner which runs lightly
over any kind of rug. The cleaner
does all the work. supplies all the en-
ergy and all the while unseen, the
dirt is being removed dustlessly from
the fabric of the rugs.
Keeping the dining room splotless
is a simple matter if the cleaner is
run over the rG after each meal.
Crumbs and soft food particles are
picked up without injury to the rugs
and the life of the floor covering is
thus heightened

PUBLIC Opinion NECESSARY
TO ABOLISH LYNCHING

Serious discussion of effective
means to abolish lynching first con-
sideration must be given to the
awakening, the enlightenment and
molding of public opinion. No mat
ter what methods are suggested, the
way in which they will work out will
depend largely on the sort of public
opinion they have to encounter
The first thing of all to realize is
that public opinion in the United
States is not against lynching; if it
was, lynching as it is carried on in
this country could not exist.
Of course, there are vast numbers
of Americans who are shocked and
Mortified at the mere thought of
lynching, but the great majority are

.LAITY FINDS FAULT
With PRESENT SERVICES
RENDERED BY CHURCHES

There are 2 great many people, and
far from being the worst, who while
believing firmly in the Christian dog
ma are dissatisfied with the service
the church and it's ministers render
them for the time and money they
are called upon to contribute to the
maintenance of them. Instead of re-
garding the church as a material as
set they are coming to regard it as a
spiritual loss, as neither appears on
the face of It to do anything to pro-
mote these material interests of their
membership in the present SO that
they may be the better prepared to
enjoy the spiritual benefits of the
ereafter.-Norfolk (va.) Journal and

FUTURE OF AMERICA
LARGELY DEPENDENT

play and no favor was the thread Of
the argument and address of Lawyer
William H. Lewis of Boston at the
high school auditorium in his plea for
fair play for the Negro.
Mr.. Lews said that much of the
future of America depends upon the
Negro. They are believers in the
present order of things, are not So
ciaIists or Communists and are be-
levers in the gospel of work.
I'VE can depend on our own merits

which may not be clear to themselves
they feel when Negro is lynched
that perhaps, after all. it was about
the best thing that could be done un-
der the circumstances.
This inertia, this condoning atti-
tude of American public opinion is
the most difficult condition to be
reckoned with in any effort to abolish
lynching.
There is reason for this condon-
ing attitude A reason which sprang
from distortion and misrepresenta-
ton, and which has been fostered by
we'll directed propaganda. The i'm
preston has been craven on the minds
of the public at large in this country
that the lynching of Negroes and the
crime of rape go together In the
mind of the American public at large
the idea has been more or less firmly
imbedded that rape and the lyn~hing
of Negroes in the south bear the re-
lation of cause and effect.-James

BUY YOUR AUTO NOW
ADVICE OF DEALERS

Immediate deliveries on all cars
in the Salt River valley will soon be a
thing of the past unless all signs are
absolutely misleading. In fact, the
spring months Of 1920 bid fair to
show the greatest automobile short
age in the history of the industry,
states r. D. Roper of the Roper
Motor Co., Maxwell and Chalmer dis
tributors.
At the present time the automo-
bile companies have cars but are un-
allie to get freight equipment suffi-
cient to supply the western demand
For the first time in the history open
flat cars and gondola cars are being
used for shipments from Detroit to
the Pacific coast and Arizona. But
with a/freight car situation that is
growing worse, the eastern part of
the United States where it is feasible
to have drive aways from the factor
les is developing a market stronger
as the spring grows nearer, and it
looks as if the middle west and east
will be more than able to absorb all
the cars the factories can produce.
This means that even if the freight
cars situation should improve, the
eastern demand will be so great that
few western states will receive their
car quotas On top of this the an
nouncements come from Detroit that
unsatisfactory labor conditions and
general instability of prices are hav-
ing their effect on the automobile
manufacturers to such an effect that
they are planning on a curtailment
rather than an expansion of produc-
ton
Our Maxwell experience the last
few months is Indicative. of the gen.
eral situation. For two months we
are without sufficient cars Shortly
after the first of the year a solid
trainload of cars was shipped west of
which Sarival received 76 cars, they
arriving here about 80 days ago. These
cars have been delivered at the rate
of about fifteen week in the valley
until they are nearly exhausted. But
three carloads of Post War Maxwells
are now en- route and the future is
very doubtful as to deliveries.
At present, however, and until the
shipment now en- route is exhausted
continues R. D. Roper, we will con-
tinue to deliver the latest two unit
type of Post War Maxwells at pres
ent prevailing price.

DUN'S REVIEW
By Associated Pres.


 New. York, October S.--Dun's tomorrow wKu say:
 Price considerations still dominate the Commercial situation, and remain the un- deriving cause of the continued hesita- tion and repression of business. Belief that the downward price reaction has not yet been completed, despite the rapidity and extent of the movement in some primary channels, impels many buyers to persist in their policy of waiting and there has, consequently, not been the usual seasonal increase of activities this autumn. Knowledge that the year S crops are abundant makes for a confident long range view of the future, but the problems of the present readjustment period are of immediate concern to many interests and are not without disturbing effect in various quarters. The nine months' failures, although comparing favorably in number with those of many years prior to 1919, plainly reflect the changed conditions prevailing. and other evidence is not lacking, that the weak spots are steadily coming to the surface after an era of unwholesome imitation.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Training of Stenographers

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I wish to commend the editorial, Not All Stencgraphers Sufficiently Informed :" which appeared in a recent issue of The Age-Herald. Too many people have an
 idea that an adequate knowledge or
 shorthand and typewriting can be ac- quired by the average student in a few weeks time. and therefore are not willing
 to spend sufficient time to master these subjects, as well as correspondence and letter writing, business English and other necessary branches. The student WHO ex- poets to pick up shorthand and type
 writing in few days or a few weeks
 time will be sadly disappointed, and if the
 student secures position as stenograph- CT the employer will soon make a change, or perhaps on account of the scarcity
 of help of this kind, keep his inefficient Istenographer and will have a great deal to say about stenographers not knowing how to spell and use correct English.
 There is no question but what stem ographers should have good knowledge of current events. and which can be best acquired by reading the daily newspapers, The stenographer worthy of the name is always trying ot improve his mind by reading. and to perfect his shorthand out lines by careful practice. Yours very truly, WILLARD J. WHEELER. Birmingham, October 5, 1920
