The Greater Arbuck7e Trial

THROUGH acquitted of the charge of
manslaughter FATTY" Arbuckle faces
another and more momentous verdict.
The Jury now is the American public, and is
itself on trial along with the accused. On
whether it suffers his return to the screen
or banishes him once for all, depends vital
part of the future of motion pictures and
vital stake in the country's moral veal.
AS for the purely legal side of the case, &C
quittal seems to have been the only verdict
which could have been rendered under the
evidence and the law. But homicide is not
the sole offense against human society, nor
the worst. Incomparably more sinister and
more far-reaching than the deed which blots
out single life is the influence which creeps
corruptngIy into million minds and testers
with ever-diffusing poison. Better plague
of deadliest disease than a peoples counte-
nancing and drinking in that which rots away
their decency and strength.
Assuredly tie wretched clown whose sor-
did sowing has come so grimly to harvest is
to be pitied But he is to be pitied for be-
ing what he is-not for the loss of unearned
fortunes to spend in profligacy. The most
merciful thing the public can do for him is
to forget him. But in justice and reason
there can be no winking at the sort Of con-
duct and environment which he types Those
who provide the public's diversion bear pc
culiarly grave responsibility. To sell poisoned
amusement is worse than selling poisoned
meat. 1t is like giving a child bright toys
smeared over with germs of loathsome dis
ease.
"By order of Director General Hays" runs
the news dispatch, "Arbuckle films slated for
Immediate release are withheld But in the
next line a producer is quoted as expressing
confidence that "Mr. Hays action does not
mean that Arbuckle will have to retire as
motion picture star" Well if he does not,
then the motion picture industry will have
thrown away priceless opportunity for it's
own betterment and for service to society.
And if for their part the people should toll
crate such shamelessness,-bu surely, that is
not to be imagined!

A MOTTO FOR WORKERS
By H. Addington Bruce

M ANY business men, as is generally
MI known, keep on their desks or hang
A'A on the walls of their offices printed
notices of exhortation or warning. Of such
notices, "Do 1t Now" and "This Is My Busy
Day. are the ones most frequently found in
business places.
But there is another which ought to be
found more frequently than either of these
yet which actually is seldom found. If it is
important to prevent wastage of business
time and if it is important to be prompt in
the doing of business, it clearly is much
more important to do ones business as &C.
curately and thoroughly as possible.
So that business men might find it real
help to keep constantly before their eyes
during business hours card giving the sal
utary reminder. '"Take Pains Indeed, it
might greatly pay them to have a number of
such cards printed and hung where their
business associates and employees would be
sure to see them frequently.
For if there is anything that workers in
business seem inclined to forget it is this
same most important principle of accuracy
and thoroughness.
This applies to workers in all capacities
from executive heads to workers in the most
subordinate positions. Too often haste and
carelessness predominant, to the eventual
great harm both of the workers themselves
and of the firms for which they work.
Yet nothing is more likely to. prevent a
man from achieving business success than
slackness in his working standards and his
working methods. The output of all slack
workers must needs be inferior in quality
And, as incisively phrased by one keen stu
dent of human affairs:
zone of the most insistent things in life
is that you are ultimately judged by what
you actually accomplish. The busy world
gives scant attention to assertion, explana-
tion,, protest, apology, or complaint.
what counts most is not promise, but
performance. Good work speaks for itself
Time spent in promises, regrets, and profess
sions is usually unavailing. The present age
is intensely practical and more than ever
the race is t. the alert, the energetic, and the
Industrious to workers earnestly intent Upon
securing actual results"
Hence, to repeat the succinct advice of
another equally keen observer:
"Have a work for every moment and mind
the moments work. Whatever your calling,
master all it's bearings and details, all it's
principles, instruments, and applications. Let
nothing about it escape your notice"
Thoroughness wins! That is truth
which cannot be too often or too emphati-
cally proclaimed, especially in these days of
numerous opponents of the gospel of "get-
ting by"
And however much workers may resent
being admonished by notices to Take
Palms." unless they habitually do take pains
they are fated forever to remain workers
who wonder why they do not make Roadway
in the business world.

\ The Agreement With Mexico

TIE Agreement With Mexico
TINE country awaits with keen interest
the full and official announcement of
the rapprochement between the United
States and Mexico can agreement greater
in significance than merely the recognition
of one government by another" writes Mr..
David Lawrence in his Washington forecast
for The Journal, "an agreement of perma-
nent friendship and goodwill He further
describes it as "a reciprocal treaty of friend
ship which will cover all the fundamentals in
the controversy today and make an enduring
settlements treaty which nobody on either
side of the Rio Grande can afford to disre-
gard"
This Is far-ranging indeed, and if borne
out by events will mark an epoch of utmost
moment in American relationships. Recog-
milton of the existing national government of
Mexico has been expected for months. Since
the election of President Obregon in the au-
tumn Of 1920 that country's fortunes have
notably improved. Lawlessness in the 1nte-
rior and banditry along the border nave
grown steadily less while industry and COM
morce have gone hopefully forward For
eign investments, although not yet on as Sc
cure basis as may be desired have Jared

lions with the United States, which in the
decade preceding were ofttimes strained.
have been entirely amicable since President
Obregon took the helm. Nor is there on the
horizon of politics any leader who would
probably be more of a friend to American
interests. Hence the general expectation
that his regime would be recognized.
But if action has been delayed in order that
a more broadly constructive agreement than
simple recognition might be reached, there
is no cause for complaint. Just what the
terms and processes of such a compact may
be is not yet made clear. Certain it is, how
ever, that lasting alliance of goodwill be-
tween the two republics, whose mutual in
terests will be more closely interknit in the
future than heretofore, will rebound to the
veal of all America, North and South, anc
to the largest good of the world.

SECRETS OF MASSAGE
BY DIR. R. H. BISHOP

So brilliant have been the results Of prop
erly applied massage that a host of charla-
tans and takers has sprung up to exploit
the system.
Just as is the case of all effective means
of treating the sick, it is safe and health
giving only when applied by one whose
knowledge of the constitution of the human
body, of pathology and of the science is
suitable to select proper treatment for each
individual.
The purpose of massage is to free the
tissues from waste products which stag
nant circulation leaves in them; in general
to promote circulation and exercise the
muscles.
The first general rule of massage is that
all movements should be toward the heart.
The various movements used in massage
!are: stroking, friction, kneading, vibration,
percussion and joint movements.
Strokng consists of a gentle sedative
movement with fingers or palms. Friction
is a heavy stroking, using the balls of the
thumb and fingers. The first relieves nerv-
BUSINESS; the second is good for stagnant
blood vessels
Kneading is an alternate compression and
lifting of the tissues-not letting the hand
slide over the surface as in the other move
ments, but remaining in one place.
Vibration is done with the finger tips or
with electric vibrators 1t and the kneading
are good stimulants for those who need a
stirring up of the digestive and eliminating
| systems.
| Joint movements are used in final stages
| of treatment for arthritic troubles, such as
rheumatism.
| For constipation due to sluggishness, the
kneading and friction of the abdomen, be-
| ginning at the right hip, passing upward, to-
ward the ribs across to the left side and
then down to the pelvis, is quite effective

NAPOLEONISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

Napoleonism is the exact opposite in almost
every point to Christian.
Napoleon stood for the contamination of
vanity. He was the arch egoist Christ
stood for the highest type of humility. He
was Servant of ALL
Napoleon is the incarnation Of the am
bition to rule; Christ the perfect Illustration
Of the ambition to serve.
Napoleon's characteristic attitude is pose.
He was always theatrical. The important
thing with him was to seem. Christ never
posed. With him the main thing was to be.
Napoleonism is what is the matter with
the world. There all sorts of Napoleons,
Napoleons of finance, Napoleons of war, Ma
poleons Of industry.
The owner of the wooden mills in the fac
tory town likes to thing of himself as Ma
poleonic. So does Trotzky. So does the ward
boss in Chicago or Philadelphia. So does
every little fippennibit soul that loves the
spotlight and feeds on prominence.
Napoleonism is what is the matter with
Europe. Europe contains too many grand
and noble windbags and humbugs. States
men are doing too much strutting and crow
ing and not enough work.
All these Napoleons, from the vain COrsi-
can who devastated Europe in his day down
to the last Ponzi who seeks to dazzle and
dominate by crooked means or straight, are
like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
characteristic incident occurred the other
day in Paris. Napoleon was evicted from his
garnet. All his worldly goods were put into
a cart and dumped in disused quarry. This
Napoleon was rag-picker and his possess
sions consisted of old tin cans, rusty iron,
scraps of carpet, and other junk
He had not paid rent for so long that the
owner of the place where he lived had the
law on him. This Napoleon owed his name
to his claim that the great Emperor was his
grandfather. He looked on while his prop
erty was being moved. He finally exclaimed:
''This is an injustice! I am not Napoleon's
grandson for nothing. This work shall cost
France dear!"
1t seems to be a long way from the En-
peror of France and the dictator of Europe
to the angry rag-picker quarreling over his
humiliation, but the distance between the
two is not so far it appears.

An H-Starred FLIGHT

r. VERYONE must regret that the
Portuguese airmen who Jared gal
lantIy away from Lisbon for Rio
Janeiro did not arrive. Though hoping to
compass the Atlantic in four hops" they
have been baked, perhaps finally, by dam
age to their seaplane in landing at St.
Pauls Rocks, some eight hundred miles
from their South American goal. Dispatches
indicate that the plane may be twisted and
battered too seriously to permit resumption
of the heroic voyage.
1t would be peculiarly fitting for a
historic flight from Portugal to Brazil to be
accomplished by countrymen of that master
spirit of exploration and discovery, Prince
Henry the Navigator. Some four and half
centuries have drifted deep since his genius
and devotion made Portugal the foremost
pathfinder of a wondrous age. But the light
of his vision still fingers and the fruit of
his labors continually grows. May the in
heritors of his tradition yet make their way
by air from Lisbon to Rio.

Commandments for Husbands

SEASONED old justice OF Peoria, ILL
a nois, to whom oftttmss comes Jacks
and Jills that have fallen out in
tribuIations of wedlock, has handed down
these Ten Commandment for FESTIVE hus,
bands:
"Take care of your children an hour
each day.
"Help your wife prepare breakfast"
''Stay at home at least five nights
week"
'Take your family out walking in the
evenings and on Sundays"
"Wait on yourself, instead or making
your wife wait on you"
Wash the dishes every night.
"Allow your wife to handle the
finances Of the family"
"Go to church viii your family every
Sunday"
''Stop drinking"
"Start a savings account"
The sage of Peoria, it is easy to see, mas
been dealing with human nature and nus
band nature in all their primal errancles. Ii
was a wise and muchly married king OF
old who likened a naggins spouse to "a con-
tinual dropping in very rainy day, ana
who further avowed cit is better to dwell IN
the wilderness than with a contentious and
an angry woman Solomon, had he W1led,
could have written, not only ten but Ten
thousand commandments for wives. A kind
lier philosopher han he, however, and one
as knowing for what truth Oh human Heal'
does Shakespeare not discern) declares
that 'sdoublet and hose should ever show
its Elf valiant to petticoat." That is, in pres
ent-day parlance, let the betrousered party
to the marital contract lead the way to CON
cord and set the example-hard though 1t
be. yea desperately hard to wash the
dishes every night" .
Dame Van Wrinkle was enough to try the
n,ightiest or the meekest of men. Yet, who
knows but that even she might have soft
ened had Rip stopped drinking and started
a savings account?

~ prosperity, the Boston Traveller notes
that the pottery industry is busted UP
TO ninety per cent, or more, OF IT'S capacity.
sHThe demand for the highest grades or Dor
dered dinnerWare is especially strong, ana
there is also a lively call for white wares
This is significant because when times are
hard or dubious households do not, as

restaurants purchase as frugally as they can
if the business prospect is beclouded. For
some seasons this disposition has been re-

Exit Rum

In recognition of the theoretical existence
Of prohibition the encyclopaedia Americana
is setting a new style for reference compen-
diums of the future by referring to the liquor
business and everything connected with IL
in the United States in the past tense ex-
clusively.
"The wine industry in this country if not
discouraged or forbidden by unfavorable
legislation would have had a prosperous
future" reads the chapter devoted to this
subject as it<appears in the Americanas new
editions. 1t goes on to say: eve had in the
eastern states and in California all the oppor-

The pig census Of Georgia will be taken

showing in that line of farm industry, not
withstanding the fact that several hundred
pigs have been shipped from here to north
Georgia in motor trucks and a thousand or
more were sold at the Swine Growers meet

been several carloads sold at various times
within the past few months. There are plen-
