that It has taken the army to advance ter

The actual figuring Ia too long to give

problem Is as follows: Let A equal the dis
tance the army advances while the general
is reaching Its front. Let q equal the dis
tance II advances while he rides across ir
front OF II. Let c equal the distance tht
army advanced while he reaches its rear
Let D edual the distance Il advances while
no rides across the rear. Then B and L
are equal. as the ratio OF advance OF The
army is constant II follows that A Plus .
u plus equal 10. Also that the total dis
tance covered by the general may be ex.
pressed as plus 10, plus twice the squar-
root of square plus 100, plus 10 minus r

Who Is to Blame7

To tho Editor Of tho Euenin0 Public Ledger!
slr-1 would like to reply to letter re
Gently printed In your Peoples Forum. This
young lady has asked one OF the Peoples
Forum readers to offer a suggestion In order
to holp drive the pangs OF misery from her
heart. II was plain 10 see that her heart
was broken and that she is now lamentins
over past foolishness. but who is to blame
for her present misery? Was II her own
fault or that of another1
II was dua TO her ambition to shine. She
iovnd fnery--she says so. She loved the
things money could buy. but never dues-
toned the method of its requirement. There
are plenty OF girls this very minute who
arc chasing this very same shadow-the
shadow that seems TO spell to them pleasure,
and that word only. They are sowing tho
seeds for misery, and therefore they must
expect to reap the harvest. Nothing is fur
ther from the truth than to think that pleas
ure leads 10 happiness There IL no sens> In
these thoughts, because pleasure demands a
price: It may be health or 1t may be dis
honor.
We all like pleasure. but II should be we'll
chosen. Tho happtest couples ! have ever
met are those who seek their happiness in
being In orc anothors company. Whole
some pleasure Is to be desired, but this does
not appeal TO tho young women Of today.
They prefer 20 sacrifice their modesty and
their womanhuOd for an automobile ride.
am not speaking of these things without
knowledge for I know only too many ca SEQ
Of young women today who are selling their
future happiness at q very low price. Happy
Is the girl who believes in being on the
square, who can turn her head away from
cheap pleasure and who expects nothing
create than she Is willing to give. Girls of
this kind are 10 be found even today,
when every one seems pleasure mad; and
some day l hope 10 make a home for tust

At the following moetiray the board Of d.

member OF a sister lodge be exempted. The
recommendation was overrued by the lodge.

Dixie" the song to which Mr.. Schell
refers. Is not TO the southerner what the
"star spaneled Banner" IL TO us ALL or
The Marseilaise" is to France or God
Save the King to tho British. or the
Royal March to the Italian. ''DixIe"
isn't patriotism as expressed in our ''Star
Spangled Banner'+-"Oh. long may II wave
but "Dixie" Is love OF houe. freside. fs rm
land--'T wish was In the land of cotton" :"
Mr.. Schell. don't you see the dfference7
Ono time in the South there was hold q
convention OF people from all over this land,
and each day band would play Mt given
intervals. or course, when Dixie was
played every one applauded, and again when
the star spansed Banner was played
every one stood. but when Yankee Doodle
was played there was no applause. and this
fact became "a thorn in tho Side OF n
true Yankee Doodle hoy whose mother was
descendant OF John Alden.
Finally ne told one OF his friends the
next time Yankee Doodle was played ne
was SolnE 10 get up on MS Cn0ir ana yell
it It was the last thing he over did. Tn,
following day no had the opportunity. Ut
on the chair he Jumped and yelled and ap'
paUded. II was hardly second before the
crowd caught the spirit OF this Yankee boy,
and II ever there was a demonstration over
Yankee Doodle" that was the time.
I give that incident as an illustration az
to what happens when Dixie 10 PLAYED
All that's needed Ia a starter and gen.
orally you will find a southerner IN the
crowd who cannot keep still. As the Nesrc
says. ''he can't help ~ he's born dat

Now. Mr.. schell. let's make our national
