THE LAY OF A PHOEBE KEY

My Phoebe key has been with me since nineteen hundred and four. And, on the square, I won her fair, though some of the gang were sore. I didn't mind being called grind. and I wore her then with glee, And you can bet I wear her yet right out where folks can see. In college days I won no bays in the giddy social rout;
 I was de trop at any show where the wor~e1 were about I tried for glee; but they soon drop ped me and a freshman won my place;
 I hit the booze with other stews, but couldn't stand the pace. At end I proved so punk moved the football coach to tears; was dub and on the scrub played for three long years. I tried for third but a faster bird took the regular job from me. And at the mile I plugged a while; my best was a poor 5;03. At every game it was the same: l never could reach the top. And though it's true I won a U, ii
 wasn't a good fair cop. But the Phoebe key they handed me
 when I took my cap and gown, Was poor enough, if he has the stuff you can't keep a good man down There may be guys lot more wise

 The auditorium of the cathedral where the rites were solemnized was beautifully set in the 30th degree of the Scottish Rite in which Mir.

WHAT THE AUTOlST
 WANTS TO KNOW

Dear Sir:
 Why he had to plank down cold cash to put on headlight dinners year ago in compliance with the law and today apparently the law is dead one?
 Why So many women drivers take the center of the road and just mosy along as a leisurely speedy
 Why so many drivers - particular ly women = will start right out from a curb parking into a flow of traffic without batting an eye to see if an other car is approaching?
 Why is it that the pokey wagon loaded with sand always manages to beat you to the crossing?
 Do you know of anyone who ever had the crust to crash into one of the big tank trucks loaded with gas /. What happened?
 Why will proprietors of auto laun tries, garages, tire and accessory houses litter up your car with their handbills and expect you to give them your business?
 Why do the cops permit these kid drivers of commercial trucks to pull off their reckless driving?
 Why do they permit horse drawn vehicles and bicycles on the highways after dark without lights?
 Why do the traffic cops permit bi cyclists to ignore the traffic whis. tie?
 Why is the price of gasoline at the same old level while the price of crude oil has been cut in half?
 Why does the driver of an auto mobile kick at all these things; does he not know that if he doesn't like il he can get off and walk?

MoRE MAIN sTREET

Fortune throwing us across the course of Dean Scarlett in the con- gested business district the other day, we dragged him from the turbulent monday throng into the lee of a friendly doorway and broached the matter of the suggested round table talk on the book Main street.
 The good recerend expressed cordial desire to contribute his pres. ence and opinions to the investment of such an evening. AS to the day, however it will be necessary to hold off for at least two weeks. This be- cause the dean is going to spend the next two weeks at the University or California. (Local papers please copy) But when he returns the ex- act date and place will be announced.
 In the brief minute that elapsed before Cid Herb Atha intervened with a luncheon invitation to the popular parson, Dean Scarlet re- marked that his objection to Main Street was not particularly that the book attempted to bring to light cer- tain truths of life in the small town, but that he didn't believe that people are really as mean as Sinclair Lewis portrayed his characters. Meaning. of course. people as whole in small towns.
 That is an item which the reader will interpret according to his ex- periences with folks in the small town. That Is why we are interested to listen to an informal discussion of the book by people hereabouts who have read it. We trust that those who are now reading the book or who plan to read it will complete the reading before the dean returns. Re member, it will be in about two weeks

with the rules laid down by the for est service concerning the prevention of fires, and comply with them. No tices are posted along the roads to advise those who are not familiar with them.
 Camping places on White river that -an be reached by wagon or auto are always free from dry grass or other inflammable undergrowth. During the camping season there are always numbers of campers at these points and camp is never left entirely un- protected, all campers recognizing the necessity of protecting their fam lilies and outfits.
 I contend that the campers are a protection and not danger to the forests. The greatest danger is from lightning I have found fires started by lightning and have put them out, and I do not doubt that many others have done the same.
 On my trip last year I had no trouble in catching all the fish of re- quired size that we could use AL though I have noticed from year to year gradual decrease in their num- Der and size, still there are plenty for all, and now that the streams are be- ing restocked there will be no short age of fish.
 I think, further. that it would be an imposition on the good people of our state to bar them from this great out of doors, or to continue charging the fee of 25 cents per day for each person, as has been the case during the last few years. Many of the peo- pie that will take their vaca ton in these mountains are either persons of i'll health or who cannot afford to
 take trips to the coast or other pleas ure resorts How we'll I remember the days when good old Judge Grouse was agent at White River and every one who had never abused their
 rights was shown every courtesy and given free permits for camping and fishing. It was common in those days to meet numbers of wagon trains on the road to this camping ground.
 It is time for the people of our
 state to take determined stand in
 opposition to closing this mountain country to their use as a health, rest l and pleasure resort

The salaries which it is claimed motion picture actors and actresses receive universally under stood to be wildly exaggerated. The salary is fc ton pleasing alike to the actors and the promoters. It Is or was good advertising point Now, how ever the mention of these princely salaries only moves a smile
 This exaggeration is only a deseednant from that of actors on the speaking stage few years ago. That roo was fiction maintained only for advertis- ing purposes.
 The average salary of actors never a very golden one-usualy inadequate and disproportionate to the talent employed and the hard work done The actor was content to live modestly in real life. He got enough pleasure of his make believe world

End of the National Agreement.

With the abrogation July l of the national agreements the country may begin get basis which there be revision downward of railroad rates. Then to may begin see improvement in business resulting from an flow of commerce then and until then there be wholesale resumption of industry.
 There other obstructions but the chief ob- structon to the return normal conditions is the railroad situation Until it be remedied can not hope for improvement. Reader will help but it alone cannot be remedy. Remedial legislation such as the tariff revision of laws may also be helpful but they alone not bring great relief long arteries of trade obstructed-
 The setting aside of the national agreements which have brought the railroad opera tions in hardly less measure than wage sched- ues, which the terrified railroad administration consented, will be the beginning of the downward revision operating costs. Wages must also be reduced and that will be the readily accomp- lished after the agreements out of the way.
 But neither the agreements the wages all that have been the matter with the railroads. These things have been allowed mask bad manage ment of the roads since their return their With this brush away and with the management standing clear and unobstructed it will naturally be improved
 As long the of living was so high there could be reasonable proposition for the wholesale reduction of either in the any other industry There before the cost of living began to descend forced reduction wages in many lines. That of hardship on workers but hardships had already been upon consumers and employers, and hardshps automatically distribute themselves But with the of living so greatly reduced no class be justified in retaining the advantage of high wages they can be main tained with the result that they further retard the descent of living costs. We must share and share alike in bad times well good times.

BE NOT ASHAMED (By Alfred ArnoId)

Be not ashamed to weep;
 Nor hide the hollow art The pain that rangles deep,
 The wrongs that rend and smart;
 No. if you have heart Mourn for the woe that sears; Be not ashamed of tears But be ashamed of eyes
 That keep cold repose, And the spirit that denies
 The agony it knows; Turned stony through the years Be not ashamed of tears. The heart that counts it gain
 To help. shall hold loves throne; Who scoffs at others pain
 He shall not ease his own;
 But shall walk on alone, Followed by mems fears. Be not ashamed of tears. Look where father sighs,
 And mourns his first-b born, dead; Hark where some woman cries
 Der love when love has fled. Unlock your eyes and ears. Be not ashamed of tears.
