lean votes in the interest of Germany
has been denied by letters from
twelve leading citizens of Teutonic
extraction in Louisville, Ky, to the
Jefferson post of the American Lee
glon in that city. The letters, to-
gether with a resolution condemning
.Viereck as an advocate of un-Ameri-
can principles, have been made pub
lie by the post. Louisville Legion
naries will hold an All-American
meeting on Decoration day, May 80.
When the fire department dashed
down the main street and red flares
burned brightly in the stiffness OF
the night the solid citizens of Apple
ton. Wis, rushed out of their homes
in alarm. What they discovered was
that the local post of the American
Legion was starting its membership
campaign. Bands began to play and
Illuminated floats appeared. Boy
scouts marched in parade with the
Legion members. The effect of the
night attack was so strong that 500
members were obtained the next day.
Although he was arrested and con-
victed of a misdemeanor, a twenty
year-old wounded veteran of the
World War, is to receive through the
offices of the American Legion of
Detroit, Mich, an education as an
electrical engineer. The boy had en-
listed at the age of seventeen and
was twice wounded during the st.
Mihiel drive. He had always want
ed an education, he told the judge.
I'but was compelled to leave school
when he was six years old because
of the separation of his parents. The
Judge placed him on probation to a
representative of the Legion, who is
arranging for the youth to enroll in
an engineering course under the Gov
eminent provisions for vocational
training of wounded veterans.
When the Government salvage de-
pot Office at Toledo, o., failed to EN-
ploy a reasonable number of ex-ser-
vice men, the lucas County Council
of the American Legion investigated
the situation and obtained a promise
of adjustment from the captain in
charge of the depot The Legon's
investigation showed that, out of 26l
employees, 81 were ex-service men, 90
were ineligible at the time OF war
and ia had never been in the SER
vice.

 The county agents aroused the farmer and his wife through the im- aginative boys and girls of the farm. Unhardened by the buffetings of ex- perience and the very rigor of the toll that had made father and mother flint to suggestion, these youngsters raised their pet calf, planted their prize corn acre, grew their pure bred pig, gathered the tomatoes from their prize tenth of an acre and canned their blackberries as the agents told them to do. The wonder of their achievement is what re- stored the long-lost initiative of their parents. The parents did as the chil- dren had led them to do.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. TIT is to be doubted if there is any,
 thing of record in connection with . American achievement as disappoint- ing and as sordid as that row and fight between Lieutenants Farrell and Hinton, the rescued balloonists, in the little cabin in Mattce, Ontario. For weeks the world had mourned these intrepid explorers as lost. Then came word of their rescue, and as fragmentary descriptions of their terrible trip began to come down to us from that Moose Factory listening post on the borders of No Mans Land, every one glorifed in the courage and endur- ping sympathy for their sufferings and
 privations.
 It was another saga of the northland, with science and not bloodshed for it's struggle against odds of cold and ice and snow that have been overwhelming throughout the centuries. Another tri-
 umph for the United States navy te add to it's splendid score.
 It is true that Lieutenant Hinton's let ter to his wife, in which he spoke dis paragingly of Lieutenant Farrells en' durance and strength of mind, struck discordant note. The letter was boast ful. It should never have been given te the public. But then the horoes were safe at last, and that was the main thing to an admrng people.
 l Then came the telegraphic story of ths bitter quarrel and fist and skull fight in the Hudson Bay mans cabin to mal

 I am interested in the agitation over tnc movie situation in Birmingham and the censorship of vaudeville and plays, for the time has come when the question ought to occupy the stage. The matter of amusement for the people is big one and deserves the best attention of the pulpit, the press and all who are inter ested in the study of social development. The public, old and young, is Hooking as never before to the vaudeville and movie establishments. I am no prude, but 1

 Moving pictures are here to stay. and we might just as well make up our minds to the fact; but while admitting it there is no reason to despair of the situation 1 if the better class of the people will de- mand of the producers productions which meet both their artistic and aesthetic needs without unduly shocking their sense of the ordinary proprieties. The occasion calls not for sensational reform CTS to get into the limelight and capi- | talize for themselves the publicity which comes from the handling of the topic, but for sane men and women who recognize the need of instruction, entertainment and amusement and see in moving pictures one of the cheapest and easiest ways to meet it.

Teaching Employees
 the "Right Way"

T1HE American Express company
 u held "Right Way" meetings of it's local forces throughout the coun- try during the past week. The com pany has adopted what it terms the Right Way Plan," and it's officials brought the employees together to ac- quaint them with it's meaning.
 By the Right Way" the company means precisely that, thing so sim ple the wonder is that men in all walks of life must be so frequently reminded of it. The right way in the express business consists of cor rect handling of packages, correct loading of wagons, correct packing courtesy to patrons, decency and or derliness.
 During the war period men and women got away from the Right Way" of doing things. They got tc doing them in any old way. Wher employees were criticised they quit Careless ard irresponsible employe: filled their places. Employers them selves became careless. It was the war; "c'est la guerre,' as the French put it.
 The trend is in the other direction now. The world wants to be orderly careful and economical. The "Righ Way" is going to be demanded as i never was before in this country, i for no other reason, because we wen so far the other way.

picture star was to appear created no great enthusiasm in me, for have seen quite few who, while queens on the screen, were mere supes in speaking parts; but when Louise came out in her Sis Hopkins makeup l recognized her as one who had in the past given me great pleasure.

 mere than three score years, an editor
 and a preacher who was attending the Southern Baptist convention at Atlanta. After dinner we were sitting in the lobby 1 of the Piedmont smoking a cigar. We
 were both tired out from the days at tendance and agreed that we would just set out the night service and have 1 good old-time talk.
 l The lobby was crowded with friends, and we were both constantly getting up
 to shake hands with those who stopped | to greet us. Finding that we couldn't
 have an uninterrupted talk, suggested
 that we take in the movies just in the rear of the hotel I knew that we could sit far back and converse quietly with out interruption, and then I wanted to
 see how Mack Sennett comedy would
 react on him. Hugh Cordoza had given
 me bunch of passes and told me to give them to my friends.
 ] I knew what was coming, but my vir- ginia gentleman of the old school did
 not. It wasn't long before Mack Sem i got into action, and things were happen l ing fast and furious. At first there was
 a look of amazement on my friends face.
