Announcement,

The year that the great World War
came on, 1914, there was big class
graduated from our high school; in
that class was one Of the dear boys,
Bruce, the live wire son Of Mrs. Cora
Sterrett-Burgess.
We received card then; now we
get another, an announcement card
telling us that Bruce has concluded TO
get married and that on June Il he
will lead to the altar Miss Marguerite,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Nc
Kenzie, of Delaware, Ohio.
This will doubtless be good news to
all of Bruce's former school mates In
the old town where everybody knew
and loved him, and will surely wish
him a long, sweet life. Leaving here
after graduation he went to Della
ware, Ohio, where he graduated from
the Delaware Wesleyan College, anc
then went to the Goodyear Tire anc
Rubber Company, and now holds {
highly responsible position with th'
company, being in charge OF the ex
port trade, and Is making good ever,
way. His mother, Mrs. Cora Burgess
is now q resident Of Akron, Ohio, an'
her many friends here can reach he
at 20 Maxine Place.
The Old Sentinel sends its congrat
ulations to you, Bruce, and to yours t

Length Of Hair Marked Caste.

For a long time the length OF hair
was considered mark Of caste In
France. Only members Of the royal
family and princes Of the blood could
wear their hair long. Polled hair was
a sign OF obedience ana inferiorlty,
To cut the hair OF a prince was to de-
prive him OF his right of succession
TO the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts
Charlemagne liked to wear his hair
short. The name of his son, Charles
the Bald, Indicates the style OF Golf
fure he affected. The Emperor The
ophilus was also afflicted with a bare
crown and he, to shun the notoriety
OF It, strongly urged his subjects tc
cut the hair on theIr heads, advanc'
ing numerous reasons, sanitary ant
otherwise. for Its accomplishment.

MASS DECISIONS.

The Rotary club has gone on record as against
the proposed 100000 bond ISSUE In doing this
the club was clearly within its rights It's decision
may have been right We not prepared to say
Our reason for remarking about the matter Is
our feeling that the Judgment Of any man at the
meeting would have been safer than the mass
decision of the eighty members. 1t is very doubtful
whether half-dozen really possessed suffi-
Client knowledge the subject to vote intelgently
Had decision been left to any one man, with
two possible exceptons) he would almost certainly
have asked for time to investigate the matter and
these intelligent go record without hesita-
ton.
Mass psychology is interesting study. AS one
of group, a man will do what he will not do MS
an individual. He assumes that the other fellow
knows what ought to be done. He also lacks the
individual responsibility for the act.
For these reasons clubs should be more
cautious about passing resolutions. We apt to
act il-advisedly. Yet such resolutions carry great
weight.
Unless new light is shed on this subject the
Journal will probably oppose the bond issue. Our
present thinking inclines that way. But lack
some data necessary to intelligent decision.
All of which is said, not in criticism of the
Rotary club or its specific action in this case, but

decline In the economic status of the minister and
the corresponding decline in his social influence
are most important contributory causes"
Too many persons who consider themselves in
good standing as communicates appear to regard
the minister a sort Of mendicant, yet If he is
worth having at all he should be paid a salary
commensurate with his position and It should be
paid just promptly as any other employer pays
his employees. Neither should the salary suffer in
comparison with the earnings of men in other
professions requiring like equipment and training.
When the minister is treated on a strict busi-
ness basis young men with yearning to work for
the betterment Of their fellowmen may not shun
the profession. Ministers have to live and educate
their families and lay by something for age Be-
cause 1t is SO difficult to accomplish those
things on the meager salaries paid on the average
1t is astonishing, rather, that anyone without indie
pendent means should enter the ministry

WE APOLOGIZE.

July 2S, 1871.
Editor Morning Journal:
Dear Sir:-An article referring
to the pinon-nut crop and appear
ing on page three in your issue of
the 23rd inst, includes the errone-
GUS statement that carloads of
these delicious nuts are shipped to
eastern points, "where they arc
usually machine shelled and sold
in glass jars as sweetmeats or used
as food In sanatoriums."
While 1t is a fact that quantities
of the unshelled pinon-nuts have
for some years past been shipped
to various points in the country.
the Smelling by machinery of the
native nut originated in Albuquer-
que, N. M, this industry having
been created in 1917 by my inven-
ton of the F. S. S. Sunshine Nut
Smelling and Separating machines,
to which / hold the sole rights and
patents. Machine-shelled pinon-
nuts are sold in packages as a food
item as well as a CONNECTION, but
are -shelled and distrib-
uted exclusively from my factory,
under the registered trade mark,
IF. s. S. Sunshine Product"
Since the error as stated Is like
ly to produce a wrong impression,
and at the same time is a great in
Justice to a growing local industry,
I shall appreciate your giving
space to this letter In your next
publication.
Yours very truly,

BUREACRATs NOT NEEDED.

Will some please explain to us just the
educational auditor for New Mexico. We have our
misgvings about Mr.. Joerns' construction of the
law.
The Journal does not feel unkindly toward Mr.
Joerns. AS secretary for the state tax commission
he showed himself to be something OF wizard
with figures. He also came to show himself
as considerable of bureaucrat He believes that
our breath should be drawn in accordance with
rules and regulations laid down by some official
in Santa Fe.
AS understand the situation, Mr.. Joerns was
not appointed sort of statewide board of edu-
cation. 1t thought that the people were
still to elect school boards to have charge of local
school affairs.
Mr. Joerns should check up these boards to see
that they obey the law. properly budget their ex-
penses and honestly expend the money. If he has
what they are.
1t will be a sorry day for education in New
Mexico when the local boards allow Mr.. Joerns to
NEEDLE in the local direction of school affairs. He
Is not trained educator. He is auditor.
1t would also interest us to know Just the ma
ture of the commission which Mr.. r. F. Asplund
has from the state tax commission to interfere in
local school affairs.
These two gentlemen are reported to be assum-
Ing to give instructions as to how the schools of
the state to be
We invite them to tell the public just what the
functions which they are assuming to exercise.

SAFEGUARDING YOUNG GIRLS.

"Miss Alice" the oklahoma congresswoman,
thinks that legislation against the roled-down
stocking the Joy rides. the todde and other forms
of dancing will be less effective in safeguarding
the young girls of America than the guidance and
watchfulness of their mothers.
Not many persons will dispute that viewpoint.
All mothers are too precious to be condemned.
some of them to be criticised. Today's mothers
perhaps measure up in socitude for their children
as we'll as the mothers of any other day. But with
the change of times today's mothers must be even
more concerned about their boys and girls and be-
cause some of them have failed to realize that con-
ditions are different the country is witnessing a
disturbing tendency among many young folk.
Laws will not remedy it. Police will be useless.
The remedy largely lies with the mothers 1t is for
them to apply it.
