ERRIAM LINDSAY and Ii

N N ERRIAM LINDSAY and her
!" father and young Ralph
Beecher had been holding a
sort of conference on the
screened porch of the Pumpkin Shell.
The reporter had been trying his best
to cheer the for1orn young matron.
And her father had come in looking
even more discouraged than his
daughter. For father and daughter
were both discovering that the fine
heroism with which they had faced
the shock OF discovering that John
Lindsay was suspected OF completely
in the pay roll robbery was a far
easier virtue to assume than the hour
ly courage 1t took to endure the mad
dening uncertainty that his prolonged
absence was causing.
Small wonder that the intensely
practical elder man had scant pa

him what seemed to him the frailest
of clues. the possibility that the as
trologer known as Mme. iorerna was

L!iste!:n,l)orId!
WRITTEN AND -,
BY Gs,e Robxn5on

I went to a political meeting. 1t
was one Of the old upheaving variety
that they used to stage. 50 they tell
me, when Blaine and Cleveland were
in the arena There were surging
ylobs and RED fire and loud whoops
and all the rest of it. We opened
up with cheers. yells, and the Battle
Hvmn of the Republic" let loose with
a firehose effect. In the midst of
which our hero arose and turned on
the oratory. In tremendous thrilling
thuds we were reminded Of
Honor Of our fathers
GloriouS-fag-
Blood of the heroes not to be shed
in vain
Heel of the foreign oppressor on
our necks-
standing shoulder to shoulder in
the cause of Righteousness
fnalienable rights
lust common folks"-this phrase
being repeated with tears between
each paragraph.
Now I'm not going to give the
name of our hero or state the party
TO which he belongs. Nor am | going
to discuss the underlying core of
propaganda which this welter of
words concealed. All of that is ir-
relevant. The truth is simply this
regardless of party or propaganda
that sort of thing is tommyrot.
And jif they but realized it. it's a
crowning insult to the intelligence
of the audience to which it is di-
rccted.
1t is not a. supreme appeal TO
truth" It's the ballyhoo of the saw
age. It's mob. muttering-it's cheap.
unrestricted emotionalism. And its
perfectly disgusting in these United
States of America in the year 1872.
You can't honor dead heroes or
serve living heroes by talking about
spilled blood. The main thing in a
heroic career isn't a bleeding wound.

no MANY pounds too much or too
little Is weighty problem in
/. more ways than one with the
girls at local high school. The
ether morning, during their study period,
a group of more or less giggly. bobbed-
haired examples OF sweet sixteen of the
best non -Happer variety was gathered
about the athletic coach, in her cheer
ful iit:le office decorated with cretonne
cushions, sneakers and gym sched-
u.es.
In prominent place on one wall was
a standard chart giving the proper
heights and weights for girls OF the
various high school ages. Next TO the
chart stood the machine for taking
these measurements in the shortest and
most painless method possible.
The first girl to be measured was very
large and weighed ten pounds more than
the chart required. She was very SEN
siti'e ON the subject and insisted thal
her weight remain a secret between her
and the coach, although her school
mates showed most iiatiering interest
in the matter. When, however. the
coach discovered that the victim was
nearer the required weight than she
had previously supposed. the much
relieved young lady spread the slad
tdings all over the place.
The next girl to be weighed was
within two pounds Of the proper figure
for her height and proved to be very
uneXciting subject. The third. however,
was about twenty pounds underweigh,.
This caused a sensation, and when the
fourth subject proved to be nineteen
pounds overweight the excitement
Threatened 10 become Il riot.
II was very amusing to see that of
the entire group of about dozen girls
only about three came very close to the
weights which Were considered stand
ard for their heights. The numbers
seemed about equally balanced between
those over and those under weight. Yet
this is really matter for serious
thought. Why in the world the butter
and egg supply should be cornered by
those whos.. natural tendency is toward
700 much avoirdupois and scorned by
those who are TOO lightweight is one Of
the mysteries that woman has waiiinGly
presented TO the Sphinx for decision
IN vain for centuries. Venus de Milo is

1t is especially significant to note
Ia this connection that the heavy
weights are sulkiiy complacent about
their pondernus state of being. where
