ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Barton Roberts

1t just seemed the poor noon got
out Of one kind of trouble to got into
another-sort of out of the frying pan
into the fire.
Mr.. Peerabout, the Man-in- the Moon,
was lost and now Comet-Legs, that
awful fairy, had run off with the
magic powder and threatened to turn
the moon square. -
Nancy and Nick were nearly at
their wits ends. Wasn't it good
thing kind Mr.. Sprinkle-Blow had
come to the moon to help them!
The three of them stood in the lit
tie house where, the Moon-Man kept
the handles for running the moon.
Comet.Legs had been playing hob
with these handles, jerking the poor
old moon this way and that like an au-
tomObic someone is just learning
how to drive.
Mr.. sprinkle-Blow looked thought
full. %&a
"Well, my adears,''' he said finally,
"there's only one thing to do. I'll
stay and run this old shebang of a
moon while you go and hunt for Mr..
Peerabout."
"That's a good idea," agreed Nick
Mr.. sprinkle-Blow stood his UNI
brel a in a corner and hung up his
hat. Then he went and looked at the
calendar.
Hum, ho!" he sighed. Lets see.
It says Full moon shiny The first
thing to do is to push all these
handles back to place and begin over"
And folks on the earth quit wagglng
their heads and gazing up through
their long glasses at the queer antics
of the moon. For the moon suddenly
had become quiet and peaceful and
beautiful again7shining down over
the tree-tops like lamp.
Away went Nancy and Nick to hunt
for poor Mr.. Peerabout.

TODAY'S WORD
Today's word is lRONIC.

Today's word is lRONIC.
It's pronounced-i-ron-ic with accent
on the second syllable.
It s-characterized by kind of
humor or light sarcasm which adopts a
mode Of speech implying the opposite Of
the literal sense OF the words. The dis
tinguished quality Of irony" says an
eminent authority, "is that the meaning
intended is contrary to that seemingly
expressed; one says one thing and means
the opposite"
It comes from Latin "ironia," mean
ing "a dissimulation or concealment of
real facts"
It's used like this-"To the persons
who have criticized him for his efforts
to keep down coal prices, despite the
strike, Secretary Of Commerce Hoover
has returned an ironic answer"

PERSONALITY IN POLITICS

Strange interpretations have been put upon
Mr. Pinchot's victory in the Pennsylvania re-
publican primary, following that Of Mr.. Beverldge
n Indiana If we were to believe certain polltlcal
oracles, keyed up to high pitch OF excitement
those two events portend startling changes, al
most amounting to revolution. Lurid proohe-
lies are made Of the Republican Party again torn
asunder. We are bidden to stand amazed at the
ominous gathering Of insurgent and radical for
,es. Because the two men named once bore the
abel progressive" the inference is drawn that
:hey will soon set forth with incendiary torches
n their hands bent on burning up our outward
md discredited party structures ....
If these gentlemen have any such fell purpose,
hey certainly took pains to conceal it in their
campaign speeches. Mr.. Beveridge, far from
bearing himself like an innovating agitator, ex-
pressed sentiments which might be called posi-
lively reactionary. He took strong ground
against all kinds Of class legislation. He protest
ed against the weakness Of Congress in allowing
tself to be swayed or terroriZed by either the
labor vote or the farmer vote. The famous Adam
son law, enacted by Congress under duress, Mr..
Beveridge would repeal. He declared himself
against all tax laws of punitive sort, would have
The income tax lowered, and a sales tax enacted.
Obviously, this is not radicalism It is more like
what some of our eager and Mortified radicals
would call hunkerism. AS for Mr.. Clifford Pin
:hot, he made his contest solely on State issues.
Ills main arguments and pleas were as old as Poor
Richard. He was for economy, for honesty, for
efficiency, for making the Government Of Penn
Sylvania respond to the chief and instant needs
If the people of the State. If this be insurgency
" revolution, make the most Of it..
The really significant and heartening thing in
.he political triumph of these two men was the
demonstration that Americans will still rise to a
sound and inspiring political leadership. In both
Indiana and Pennsylvania politics had gone stale
The Republican organization had neither ideas
nor vivid personalities. Toward it the people had
grown apathetic. The time was ripe for new and
vigorous individuals to step forward Personality
is still the strongest and most appealing thing in
public life, and it was because the voters saw in
the candidacy of ex-senator Beveridge and Mr.
Pinchot the promise of an infusion of new life into
public affairs that they rose to the appeal so spon-
taneously and enthusiastically. The whole was
simply one proof more that old American habits
and political tendencies have not essentially
changed. The people still like real man when
they see him. That fact contains warning enough
eor SNUG and stagnating machine politicians =

sion and those responsible for the
dance ordinance still insist on the
puritanical provisions therein, then
the States Attorney must do his duty
and awake to the facts before there
are serious results from the unbrldled
and unregulated grove platform re-
sorts. If it is no place, for young
girl in a we'll lighted, regulated, and
licensed dance hall in our city, which
can be and is well policed, certainly
it is no place in a darkened grove
where few steps place a couple in
secluded darkness where drinking!
and dcbauchery may occur so easily.
These places can be placed under con-
troll by the States Attorney, and those
who have already been mixed up in
fights, brawls, and drinking bouts
should be prosecuted by that official
and steps taken by him to prevent
future like occurrences, and especially
prevent the attendance of young girls.
If the States Attorney is too busy
preventing the manufacture Or sale of
Intoxicating liquor then he should be
furnished with an efficient deputy,
or what might be as we'll emasculate
the too drastic provisions Of the pres
ent dance ordinance, for if there are
properly conducted dance halls suffi-
Gent in number within the city linn
it's then these grove platform resorts
cannot profitably thrive. There is now
one bowery dance place in the city but
it cannot be conducted with any pro-
fit to it's owner if the places in the
country are permitted to continue as
at present. Unless some preventive
steps are taken these unregulated
places will increase in number as
there is rumor of other like resorts
being opened up. X

, ON DANCE REGULATION
Bismarck, N. D., June A. l9zz

Bismarck, N. D., June ~ A7AA
Rec Recently SOME Of our Citizens .ap-
nearcd before the City Commission
ers and urged the passage and ;ap-
nroval of a drastic ordinance regulat-
mo the conduct of dances and dance
halls within the city, This ordinance
has has been considered so drastic by
certain of those heretofore conduct
ing dance halls that they have vlr.
tually given up their places, Ihat
may please some of those: VINO urg,,
ed the passage of this ordinance, ana
some OF the former dance promoters
of the city have claimed tnat many
of those who urged the ordinance
thought it wicked to dance at all ana
really by the passage Of blue laws de-
prive those fond of such amusements
the privilege of this wholesome, IN
nocent and really healthfu! amuse-
ment. The effect, anyway, has been
that the places in the city have been
limited and some ceased entirely.
But there are always those who see
chance to profit by the loss Sot otn-
ers and the consequence is that much
more harmful places are growing up
where much more harm can be done.
That is the grove platform resort.
There are now two Of these places
within short automobile trips from
the city. There are no police regula.
tions Of these places, and being in and
surrounded by trees and bushes,
which form a most effective screen
for those who wish to be in too much
privacy, there being no official regu-
latons, it permits the bars to be
thrown down as to how the dances
NAV be conducted and permits young
girls-escort or otherwise-to at
tend. If it is necessary to have a dras-
tic regulation of dances conducted in
the city it is hundred times more
important to have same supervised in
groves and bushes. There is no cur
few beyond the city limits. Already
it has been noted that many young
girls attend these platform dances
who are prevented from attendance
by the city ordinance, and brawls
and fights, and "drunk and disorder
~" acts take place which would not
have occurred within the city, with
or without the enactment of the re-
cent ordinance, unless arrests, fines
and Imprisonment had followed. 1t
looks like case where the States
Attorney should get busy. That Off
cial is allowed $1,000 a year for ex-
penses of investigating the commits
sion Of unlawful acts. 1t all goes un-
der the present regime to the inves-
tigation of Intoxicating liquor cases.
1t might be we'll for the States At
torney to investigate and take steps
to regulate our platform dance pla-
ces. To prevent. the ruin of young
girls and fights and drunken brawls
is quite as important as preventing
the possession CT beer and light
wines, or even reasonable amount
of moonshine.
What might be better and what
would prevent these unregulated pla-
ces from being able to exist would
be to change some of the drastic fea-
lures and provisions of the recent or
dinance regulating this class Of
amusement, but if the City Commits.

VALENTINO

Two dainty silk garments of the pyjama family
became objects Of intense national interest, in
connection with Rudolph Valentines second
honeymoon.
This bundle of purple and white silk was the
center of more publicity and conversation than the
most important of our great economic problems
which is the chief reason we have such problems.
Civilization is based on emotions, not brains.

MEAT-EATING

Back in 1907, the average American ate l8O
pounds of meat year. This has dropped to l56
pounds year.
Meat-eating has been declining since city men
discovered that heavy noon-day lunch tends to
make them logy for the rest of the day.

the third game on the schedule for
the Newarkers and the second for
the Crimson and White representa-

3:45 o'clock.
Particular interest in the appear
ance of the Newark Prep school

the local high school last year, will
be with the visiting team. Silver
won a regular guarding berth on the
representative prep school team and
in the two games played to date has
shown up in great fashion.

a victory over the Keyport high

the season last Friday afternoon.
