Meteors are constantly falling
from the sky to the earth. There
is no hour of the day or night
when they are not dropping.
Only meteors of exceptional size
and brilliancy are visible during
the day, but many of them may
be seen at night. Their rapid fall
through the earth's atmosphere
heats them white hot, and they are
often consumed by their own heat
before they reach the ground.
On the morning of November 10,
1888. occurred the most notable ex-
hibition Of falling stars recorded in
the history of the United States.
Most middle aged persons have met
one or more old people who wit
messed this phenomenon.
/ have met men who declared
that the stars have never been so
thick since that night. This, of
course, was all in their magma
ton. None of the stars or planets
fell then or ever fail in these me-
teoric displays.
This notable exhibit was wit
messed by Prof. Dennison Olmstead
of Yale, who wrote:
"Probably 20 celestial phenome-
non has ever occurred in this coun-
try since its first settlement which
was viewed with so much admira-
ton and delight by one class OF
spectators or with so much fear and
astonishment by another class"

enCG

SASO
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-Mayors,
governors and citizens throughout
the United States are making hon.
est and continued efforts to provide
work for the unemployed and to
provide relief where work cannot be
had.
Eighty-eight per cent of the cities
with more than $4,000 inhabitants
to which this committee wrote have
announced that they nave organized
to meet the unemployment situation
along the lines recommended by Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover.
Under Control
OF these 60 per cent report that
they have the situation under con-
troll. That doesn't mean hat they
have no unemployment. 1t means
simply that actual suffering for the
time being has been reduced to a
minimum.
That leaves only IL per cent of the
cities to whom we ave written with
no reports in. We don't know
whether they're organized or not.
But the success that has met or
ganization efforts should not lead us
into u~nwarranted optimism. Winter
is coming. And cold weather will
bring the peak of suffering.
The area where suffering will be
keenest is the northeastern quarter
of the United States-north of the
Mason and Dixon line and east of
Kansas and Nebraska. This is the
nations industrial center.
The best thing we can say for our
work thus far is that we have this
region thickly covered with a net
work of organizations. If these or
CARNATIONS function in the way we
hope they will and IL conditions don't

Today the unemployment situa-
ton in all parts of the country is
In a continual state of flux. Condi-

Massachusetts Plan
Massachusetts has one of the most
efficient unemployment organizations
to cope with the present emergency.
committee to promote work with
John w. Hallowell as head.
This committee is putting into eff
feet measures to meet the immediate
situation, studying measures to
bring about permanent improvement
and delving into the causes of the
present trouble with a view to pre-
venting a recurrence.
Three hundred thousand are I'M
employed in Massachusetts," Hal
lowell says. The first step for re-
lief should be the formation of an
organization in every industrial
town.
THE basis of the local organiza-
ton should be an emergency COM
mittee to meet the emergency by
using existing agencies and local
groups as far as possible.
This emergency committee should
regularly publish the number of
those who register for employment
or relief. Individuals are asked to
aid by making repairs, cleaning and
alteration of private houses, hotels
and offices now instead of waiting
until spring."
We think the Massachusetts, plan
is so good that we are sending
drafts of it broadcast with the
recommendation that it be adopted

COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

knows the exhilaration which follows
a healthy perspiration. OF course.
the most beneficial method of secur-
ing perspiration is the method ap-
piled to the trotting horse-vigorous
exercise. In fact. one OF the bene-
fits of exercise is Precipitation.
When a person cannot or will not
take exercise. perspiration can be
induced by hot baths. Such extreme
measures ought not, however. to be
taken too often. How often will
depend on the corpulence and other
circumstances of each individual.
Sweating may be overdone. and
should never be pushed to the ex-
tent of exhaustion. The function of
the skin in removing wastes from
the body is much less important
than formerly supposed.

~ BcrtOnBraleyS Daily Poem
WMmshkce DAyaAY
Three years since the roar Of the cannon ended,
Three years since the affairs of war ran red
And the glory of youth and manhood splendid
Was laid in windows of mangled dead;
Three brief, swift years since the Peace we sought for,
When we need not tremble to greet the dawn
Yet what have we gained of the aims we fought for
If the old grim spirit of war lives on?
Three vears-yet the statesmen mouth and humble
OF national honor and righteous might"
And the hammers clang and the steel rolls rumble
On arms and armor by day and night;
Ten million slaughtered at Armageddon,
Yet under the burden of arms we bow,
And these the phrases we still are fed on,
Disarm? Well, maybe-but not just now!'
Great God! how long must we spend in learning,
How long must we bubble and pause and prate
Ere we win to the goal of the whole worlds yearning
And raze this structure of wrath and hate?
How long shall the sordid and mean ambitions
OF purblind b%lunderers bind us fast?
How long shall j;ngoes and politicians
Speak in the voice of the sullen Past?
Three years since the screaming shells went arching
Into the sky; now the guns are dumb,
Yet we hear the tramp of armies marching,
And the navy yards and the gun-shops hum;
Shall we bark to the old or the new, true voices
Shall we build for conflict or bid it cease?
1t is ours to say what our final choice is,
A ruined world-or a world at Peace!

SAID TO
BE FARTHEST R
IN UNITED STATES

Penasse. Mimi, April 11.-Proud of
its recently established postofRce
which has the distinction Of being the
farthest north of any in the United
States, this little hamlet which boasts
of $50 inhabitants, now receives its
mail one a week.
Composed of several townships of
mainland and many small islands,
and separated from Minnesota by the
of the Woods on the south, it
is necessary to employ horse and
sleigh freighters to transport the post
over the stretches of ice in winter.
During the warm summer months a
motor boat will be used.
Two days to town, a 24-hour So.
journ there, and two more days fpl
the return trip is the schedule of the
mai and freight carrier, who aug
ments his o with a cargo each way.
Situated about 80 miles north of
latitude 40 degrees. which for the
most part marks the northern bound
airy of the United States in the west,
Penasse lies at h furthermost end
of Northwest Angle, which Incl
dentally is the most northernly point
in the country. Lake of the Woods.
which forms a portion of Minnesota's
northern extremity. n the Canadian
province Of Manitoba, form the
Angles southern and western bound
aries, respectively.
AS a geographical fact, the Angle
is more a part of Canada than the
United States. This portion Of the
Gopher state on the nap is shown as
a continuation of the same stretch Of
territory as eastern Manitoba, the line
of demarcation placing the section
surrounded by Lake of the Woods
under the jurisdiction of Minnesota.
One of the earliest settlements of
white men, the inhabitation numbers
less than two hundred, which in
cludes many Indians. AS early as
1882, Count V~erendrye, who, with fol-
lowers later was the victim of an In
dian massacre, built Fort Charles near
here.
Although far away from large
towns and cities, Penasse nevertheless
boasts Of a school, even though it
houses but seven students.
-Four small stores make up the
business enterprises of the village.

RIFLE SQUAD OF
CHICAGO POLICE
HUNT FOR GUNMAN

Chicago, April 11.-Rifle squads
from the Chicago police force searched
Vainly today for traces Of four men
in an automobile who late last night
shot and fatally wounded James RAT
ferty, a policeman of Highland Park,
a North Shore suburb.
Rafferty, was shot in the chest and
just before he lapsed n uncon-
seriousness he said he recognized his
assailant as Tommy O'Connor, who
has been hunted for weeks on a charge
of killing Sergeant Paddy O'Neill of
the Chicago detective bureau.
Rafferty, halted the automobile last
night because of the speed it was
making. He questioned the driver
concerning three men in the back
seat, could get no satisfactory. reply
and directed his flashlight into the
tonneau. Immediately n of the
men there fired and as the police
the machine sped away. Another po-
liceman, a block away, fired five shots
at the automobile as it sped past him
and residents of the suburb, aroused
by h shooting, raj to the street,
some with weapons. Shots from
these also failed to halt the car which
was driven north on the road to Wau-
kegan.
It is believed by the police that the
automobile was turned west and hen
south again as no trace of it was found
in towns north of Highland Park.

schemers use her and her child to get
hush money. The climax comes with
a big vital situation, where mother
love surges and where a man is call
ed upon to make a clever move to
discover who is really the mother
and who the adventures.
