Raps Collection Plate

Allentown, Jan. 3.--Rey Il. e. Sem
senig, pastor of ST. Paul's Reformed
church, at the annual congregational
meeting, declared the collection plate
an unnecessary evil.
"The church Of Jesus Christ is not a
police department nor law enforce
ment bureau" said he, neither is II
intended to be place Of amusement
or an ice cream parlor. The church
Is not in competition with the business
world, the theatre or the fair associa-
ton. It's principal concern should not
lie the raising OF thousands OF dollars
in cash, by methods fair and some
times foul, but its aim should be to
raise men and women.
Il am asking you, my congregation,
10 abolish the collection plate system,
which is an unnecessary evil in 9
church whers the members love tas

Bleeding Old j. B. to
Death
BY FREDERIC J. HASkIN

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. s-John
Barleycorn, as you may possibly have
noticed is not yet entirely dead in this
country. but he is dwindling in bulk
day by day like a hunger striker. And
the tragic part of it is that the very
one who love him best are doing the
most 10 make his shadow small. Some
little nourishment they manage &c
bring him once in a while, but for the
most part it is with him a case of much
going out and little coming in.
This is confirmed by some facts and
figures we just got exclusively from the
Internal Revenue department. The
revenue department recognizes four
chief resources by which John Barley
corn is kept alive in this country. The
first of these is the liquor, mostly
whisky. held in bonded warehouses in
this country; the second is the pure
ethyl alcohol which is manufactured in
large quantities ostensibly for indus
trial purposes; the third is the impor-
tation of liquor across the Canadian
and Mexican borders and at scaports
and the fourth is the making of various
kinds of alcoholic beverages in the
homes Of citizens.

With this latter phase of the problem
most of those entrusted with the en-
forcement of the law seem to think
they have nothing to do.
Homebrewing Not Attacked
1.-THE law never intended us to enter
d mans home.e said one lawyer con-
nected with the enforcement of prohi-
bition. This was not an official state
ment, nor one made for quotation, but
it seems to represent the view taken
by most of the government lawyers
They consider that the law is designed
TO prevent the commercial traffic in
alcoholic beverages, and its manufac-
ture for use in that traffic. It is 10 the
enforcement Of this that they are bend
ing their energies.
Take first the case of the whisky in
bonded warehouses. In 1916 there were
about 232,000.000 gallons of distilled
spirits other than fruit brandies in our
bonded warehouses. The end of 1920
sees but 100000 gallons left in the
warehouses. Furthermore. during 1920.
there We're $4,000. 600 gallons OF tax
paid withdrawaI-that is, that amount
was Withdrawn for use in this country.
During the same year 80 100000 gallons
were withdrawn for export. At That
rate. another year would see all Of the

blue And with strip of white the arrangement

White hints of justice and moderation, so much
so that plain white flag the symbol of defeat
and lost hope
Thus the national colors of the United States and
OF ideal arrangement.
The red indicates virility and courage which is
kept within bounds by the justice of white and by
that most peaceful of colors, blue.
According the psychologists one can choose
his friends by colors they prefer. Indeed, they
say paid attention to the color pref
erences associates would be less likely TO dis
cover later that friend has proved false.
Lovers with color preferences which do not har-
monze are likely to quarrel and separate after mar
riage
Women especially. according to the psychologists
should give attention to color. Their ability to charm
depends upon it, They modify their characters
by choosing the right combinations. They can rub
off the irritating of their personality.
So declare the psychologists. And their reasoning
seems sound. We all know how misty gray nights put
us in meditative and how bright red interiors
excite the point of nervousness.
Many of ills and complaints, doubt, might
be remedfed somewhat by satisfactory color
harmones in lives
