Dear Folksj
With the world all topsy-turvy
and organizations springin' up every
twelve hours, a newspaper reporter
in the course of dooty is forced to
listen-in on sich a varied assortment
Of oratory that he just naturally be-
comes hard-boiled.
Some of the outbursts he hears
are good, some middlin' and some
well, never mind that last some
so, when a expounder looms up in the
offin' who can cut loose in sich a
manner that the first three grass
hoppers" in the hall to rush and
shake his mitt after he's finished are
reporters. then, take it from me, that
gentleman has said somethin'.
Well, this did happen over to the
Chamber of Commerce meetin' at the
Washington Hotel the other night,
when DR.. Charles Aubrey Eaton of
Philadelphia addressed that honorable
body on "America's Great Need"
Twas a big subject, handled in a
big way by a big man. and while
There amt a particle of doubt about
Doctor Eaton bein' a crackerjack
orator, I think them who heard him
will agree with me that it was his
simple, human manner of putin his
story over that helped to make it
He had his audience eatin' out of
his hand from the sound of the gong,
and no sooner would they show a
inklin' of distress at some turrible
stat: t:stics than he'd pull one of his
famous that reminds mes" and out
would bust laughter.
Once when you could hear pin
drop, SO intense was the listenin', he
suddenly got reminded of a certain
lawyer down in Kentucky who was
nuts about dogs. but as fond as the

cured of the sulks and laziness By
the seeming magic treatment Of al
Indian mahout.
She was presented to the zoo By
the Maharajah Of Cooch Behar two
years ago. She had been well trained
and acted at all times like a sensible
well-behaved elephant and Obeyed or

vices beyond that Of picking pockets
for edible dainties. But every eie-
plant that has any sense at all learns
to do that in the zoo.
Goes on Strike.
Then she took 1t into her big head
that she would not submit to being
bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps
that hac been fixed up for the con-
venience Of juvenile elephant riders.
When the old wooden steps were sub
stituted for the new ones she proved
equally obdurate. In the end she de-
clined to leave the elephant yard at

afterward used as a kind Of stirrup.

With little difficulty he persuaded
her to kneel and mounted her neck.
In less than two minutes, soothing,

LITTLE LAD A HERO
Only Six Years Old but Proves
He Is Made of Real Stuff.
Silly Corsa Of Pennsylvania Stands In
the Path Of Two PIunQinq Per
eherons and Saves the Life
of His Brother

adelphia.-"Billy" Corsa Is only
six years old, and lives on farm in
Bucks county, not far from Perkasie.
But he is made of the stuff from which
real heroes are made. He is the son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Howard P. Corsa.
Billy rose to the heights when the
life Of his three-year-old brother, Dick,
was endangered by pair of plunging
Percheron horses. Undismayed the
slx-year-old stood In the path of the
horses protecting his brother with one
hand-and turned the steel-shod
horses from their path.
With Billy Corsa 1t was entirely q
problem like this-"Tll do what 1 can
but II Dick is hurt, I'll very likely
be hurt-maybe, killed-too." Per
haps young Corsa didn't think In just
that form, but the fact remains that
ne measured up to the highest stand
ard of boyish bravery, and got away
with It,
Dick was playing in the yard of the
Corsa home. Boylike, he wandered
Into the roadway. In a nearby field
the Percherons were unhitched, pre-
llminary to being housed In the barn
AFTER the days work. Frisky and ac-
tive, the two big mountains of horse
flesh, knowing the evening meal await
ed In their stalls, started on a run for
the barn-over the roadway where
Dick Corsa was playing.
The youngster saw them coming,
turned to run into the yard, and fell
directly in their path. Billy Corsa saw
his baby brothers danger Like flash |
he ran into the road and pulled Dick |
to his feet. There wasn't time to dash |
to safety In the yard, so Billy Corsa
practically threw his brother behind
him, raised his arm high in the air,
Daim out toward the pair Of horses,
and shrilled. tense and piercing:
>Back, Dan Back, Gap! Back,
back, I sayi"
At that instant the pair Of Per-
cherens were but five yards away and
coming fast. There wasn't really time
for either Cap or Dan to halt the mad
dened dash, and to back !'-there
wasn't time for either horse to obey
turn and run back. But
they - the PercherOns = understood.
They recognized that command In that
boyish VOICE; that appraised arm. Cap
swung to the right, Dan to the left,
and the horses passed both boys by
Inches
Then Billy Corsa took his white
faced, frightened brother into the
house. He was unconscious of the fact
hat he had pretty thoroughly exempli-
led the real spirit Of love for his
brother, and had measured in every
vay to 4 heroic standard

Boy S Profit

A young man in the department of
Vocational Agriculture of the Delmar
High School made a net profit of
$37S.74.
His project, consisting of 425
White Leghorn hens, began in De-
cember, 1920 and continued until the
middle of June, 1921.
During this time the flock pro-
duced $3.50 dozen eggs. Also there
were incubated somewhat over $500
eggs, part of which were sold and ap-
proximately 752 biddies kept and
raised.
The total cost of these activities
including labor, was SS92.74 as a net
profit. Of the cost, Ss4.1O was paid
to the young man for his own labor,
making total of S462.S4 which he
personally received from his project.

Beware of the
Fastened Galosh
Flapping Footwear Means
Something of Which We
Were Unaware

For time there was only one rea-
son we could come upon for Newark
wearers of galoshes to leave them un-
fastened. That reason was that the
wearers must have wanted to bring
back memories of yesteryears when
Main Street had many sleighs on it
with every snow Now every snow
that comes to town brings out the
'flapping flappers wearing galoshes"
and their tapping buckles remind one
of the bells on the sleighs.
Of course this was the light in
which we saw the galosh before be-
ing informed that a new language
had been introduced. This was the
language of the galosh.
Competing with the language Of
flowers, handkerchief firtations and
the custom of expressing sentimental
attitudes by placing postage stamps
in various positions on love epistles,
galoshes have introduced new love
code.
N. Webster, in his dictionary, re-
vised in 1917, has referred to galoshes
as "rare in the United States," but
this year delaers report it is almost
impossible to supply the demand for
the footgear which solves the prob
lem of present weather and permits a
shy and shrinking maid to tell the
whole world that she has nary a
sweetheart, but Graves one.
Here is the love code which breathes
its tender or frigid message straight
from the slush:
No buckles nfastened-Married.
One buckle unfastened-I am no
looking for sweetheart.
Two buckles Observation-Disclosures
to be married
Three buckles unfastened-Not en-
gagged to be married.
Four buckles unfastened-Have
sweetheart, but not engaged.
FIVE buckles unfaStened-HaVe n
sweetheart, but would like one; or to-
tired to stoop over.
They say, however, that this is no
to be taken too seriously, since S
many of the girls don't know wha
these things mean and so many NOR
don't care.
