New York. New York City has
done her bit toward assuring friendly
relations between this country and
Japan, even though the doing was I'M
intentional. Whenever the ice in the
park ponds is strong enough for skat-
ers, red ball is shown atop their
poles. and then, because such a small
fraction o fthe population lives near
enough to any park to see the ball, it
is reproduced o nstreet car flags, Il
red circle on white. One Of the few
skating days of the winter fell on 4
Japanese holiday and bevy of Jap
anese students from Columbia were
tremendously impressed with the po-
likeness of America in honoring Japan
by flying her flag all day.
The traffic cop at Lafayette and
| Chambers street says that S10000000
passes him twice day--that is men
owning these billions. Lafayette street
is part CT the motor route from up
town to Wall street and the Wall
street district. Fifth Avenue is too
jammed by day and night for those
multi-millionaires and their cars are
wihsked into the side streets upon
which they can gather speed, but they
all head into Lafayette street to get
to and from their offices.
John Wisniewski, thirteen years old,
is back in school, after four years of
truancy. In spite of the fact that he
has to go back into the second grade
fro mwhich he ran away at the age OF
nine, the four years have been busy
ones. He is bringing back the gold
starred medal of bravery conferred
upon him by the Polish government
and three wound scars, won in the
two wars he has fought since he left,
the World War and the Polish-Bol-
shevist campaigns. John ran away and
shipped to France in 1917 on trans
port taking the Polish-American
troops across. Two companions were
with him; they were eight and eleven
years old. John is the only one Of
them to come through alive. The SOL
diers made them mascots at first, but
when they got to France they became
real fighters. The only thing that
worries him now is what they are 60
ing to do to him for having played
hockey for so long
The Woman Pays Club, reinforced
by Margaret Wilson, passed a resolu-

married women retain the use OF their
maiden names and pledging all men,

fact that there is no legal bar to the
step they urge. But they did not ex-

The greatest investment that can
be made Is In boys and girls. You not
only help the child, but the man or
woman; the community; the whole
world; and yourself. How much are
you willing to invest in the homeless,
orphaned children of our state who
are seeking aid from the Kentucky
Childrens Home Society? A liberal
gift will go on blessing childhood long
after you have been forgotten, even
to the end of time February 18th and
10th are the days set apart for you to
make this kind of an Investment.
What is 1t worth to you?
The school children of Maysville are
asked to have part in building a
home for less fortunate children who
are cared for through the Kentucky
Children's Home Society. Encourage
your children in their noble aspira-
tions to help through the schools by
giving substantial amount, on Tues
day, February 18th, when the children
all over Maysville are asked to have a
part in this great work. You are
helping your child as much as you
are helping the society.
Every father and mother in the state
should help the society in its work for
the orphan and homeless child--Ken-
tucky's and Mason county's own chill
dren! The society has a splendid or
ganization to handle these dependent
children; men and women who do it
because they love children. The insti-

has worked well. The outsider not
only appreciates the refund, but also
the spirit which prompts it.
Through the Traffic Bureaus three
years of intelligent and practical eff
fort in that direction, Birmingham has
lower incoming and outgoing freight
rates. Determinations have been
done away with.
Not least among Birmingham's adj
vantages are the low rates by the

give Birmingham an advantage over
Nashville of 35 cents where Nashville
formerly had one over Birmingham of
So cents.

tension. Gone after vigorously, Biz

HOUSE FLY A HUMAN PERIL

If we allow the accumulation OF
filth, we will have house flies, and if
We do not allow it to accumulate, we
will have no house flies. With the
careful collection of garbage in cans
and the removal of the contents at
more frequent intervals than 10 days,
and with the proper regulation of
abattoir, and more particularly with
the proper regulation of stables in
which horses are kept, the typhoid fly
will become rare species.
We have shown that the typhoid or
house fly may carry typhoid fever
Asiatic cholera, dystentery, cholera
morbus and other intestinal diseases
it may carry the bacilli of tuberculosis
and certain eye diseases; it is every
where present. and it is disposed of
with comparative ease. 1t is the duty
of every Individual to guard so far as
possible against the occurrence of flies
upon his premises. 1t is the duty Of
every community, through its board 81

against this enemy of mankind This
duty is as pronounced as though the
community were attacked by bands OF

WHEN "PETER PAN" WAS BORN

But that is not all of Barrie. His
humor. called elusive, is the laughter
that shines through tears, the PERFECT
blend of life comedy that makes us
smile at things that often bring soes'
and feel like crying over things az
which we once laughed. Peter Pan" is
among the latter. For Barrie and
many others. Peter Is now one OF the
saddest joys. 1t could only be VIII
messed now by some through a misty
vein of sadness. Maude Adams, VINO
has not been seen in the role since the
death of Charles Frohman on the Luis
tania, probably could not bring back
the spontaneous Joy that was once the
delight of thousands
And Barrie himself has been too
deeply touched by the world tragedy,
as well as by personal sadness, ever TO
feel the same. Many Rose" with all
of it's subtlety and fineness. shows the
sad dened Barrie. Not since the begin
ming of the war has Barrie been the
same, any more than the world has
been the same. The boy who inspired
Peter is dead, the genius who created
him is grown up spiritually. and the
figure that made Peter real to the
american public has long been absent
from the stage. Yet Peter Pan still
lives, and when the world has had time
to forget a little. should once more
bring laughter.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
~ YEARLY 20 years ago, so the story
lWl goes, James Barrie stopped to
q v play with a happy group OF at
tractive children romping in kensins-
ton Gardens. From that incident came
the idyll of Little White Bird and
Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up,
-Four of the children with whom
Barrie played that day were left or
rhans by the death of their parents,
Arthur Llewellyn Davies and his wife,
Sylvia, a beautiful sister of Gerald du
Maurier, the actor. Davies was a brill
liant scholar; his wife was Grizel of
the Crooked Smile in 'Sentime entail
Tommy" Barrie adopted the Davies
chilren. The eldest boy, grown to
manhood, died in action early in the
war. Yesterday Michael Llewellyn
Davies an oxford undergraduate. was
drowned in the Thames.
Michael, who is said to have inspired
Peter, was 20 years old. He could not
have done more than start the creation
of Peter Pan. Barrie himself was
Peter, just as he has been ali of his
other characters, including the delight
full bits OF femininity that have
charmed the world. Barrie has the
of feminine roles, as well as into those
depicting boyhood in all ages from the
cradle to the grave.
