were agreeable to the executive COM
mittee of the association. John S.

ush investment bank from regular
members. At this suggestion, Mr..
Taylor appointed Mr.. Rossell, Henry
T. Scott and Mr.. Jones as a committee
to draft an amendment to the bylaws
and present it to the association this
afternoon. Mr.. Scott moved that the
executive committee should act to
curb loose stock selling concerns, and
"bucket shops" The motion was car
ned unanimously. Ohio Newland,
Wilmington, brought up State Bank
Commissioner Medills report, just
published, showing a loss of $10,000,-
900 in commercial deposits, in banks
of Delaware in 1919. There was
enough gain in savings deposits, how
ever, he added, to more than make up
such shrinkage.
"We have gone through a pretty
serious PERIOD" he said, "and to have
the State Bank Commissioner report
that the banks were in good financial
condition, was most gratifying. He
moved a vote of thanks to Mr.. Medill,
which was given. DR.. Walter Hull

At the service in Forest Presbyter-
ian Church last Sunday morning there
was dedicated to the memory of John
James Hoffecker, End, son of Mrs. AL
berta c. Hoffecker and grandson of the
late James r. HOffecker of Middletown
very beautiful pulpit light. The me-
mortal is a gift of a mother in the
congregation. 1t is of solid heavy
brass with a dull satin finish. The in
scription, printed in Church Script, is
as follows: "In Memoriam John
James Hoffecker, End, Co. b. 9th Inf,
A. E. F."
The pastor made the following dedi-
catory remarks: 81 can think of no
more fitting memorial to the life that
was given up in service, than this pull
pit light. There are three reasons why
it is so fitting. First. Because the life
that we thus memorable was itself a
light. He lived and died shedding his
light upon the pathway of peace and
liberty. His life was torch lighted at
the altar of God, shining with the rays
of Him who is the true Light, even
Jesus Christ. Secondly: He accepted
and used the word of God as a light to
his feet and lamp to his path. He
studied the Scriptures as Gods rela-
ton to him of what he should believe
concerning God and what duties God
required of him. He received this rev.
elatiOn with faith and love. laid II nm
in his heart and practiced it in his life.
Thirdly: This light, placed upon this
pulpit as a memorial, will shed its
beams upon Gods Holy Word 1t will
make is easier for the minister to read
we'll, and consequently for the hearers
to hear and understand what is the
will of God for all people. May every
minister who stands in this pupit and
every worshipper in this church, re-
member the life given up in service for
them and how it was lighted"

There are more laundering at the
foundation OF the home than ever be-
fore.
The world seems determined to
destroy the home. 1t is using the
the automobile, the motion picture
houses, the dance halls, the pool room,
the summer resorts, the Sabbath pic
mic. games, and amusements, and every
other conceivable method to scatter
the family. detract from the sobriety of
the home and wreck the domestic
foundation.
Many girl marries for meal tick
ct, including a theatre coupon.
When the day of scarcity OF food
comes and no amusement is furnish
ed, she enters the divorce courts, and
there commits a crime against soci-
ETY. and places blot upon the name
of womankind.
Many a couple agree before marri
age to avoid the domestic RESPONSE
bi,:ties and live life Of freedom from
care and domestic duty. Such an
agreement is tantamount to premed-
itated social murder.
The blackest page of American his
tory is the divorce page. To divorce
one couple In every five marriages is
a crime against society, home, and

President John l.. Lewis of the Unit
ed Mine Worwers to Governor Groes-
beck that IL the state of Michigan
wants to mine coal it first has TO
make satisfactory arrangements with
the mines union, like every other
employer" The Boston Transcript in
a recent editorial asked as many 9th
ers are asking who is the sovereign
in this country, and concluded dis
tussion of the point with the remark
that it is perhaps we'll to bring the
matter to the test, and the sooner the
better Said the Transcript There
may be no better time than this to
determine whether the power of the
people as expressed through their con-
stituiona, agenc es OF the state and ma
tiCn is supreme in this country or
some other organization or corpor'
alton
The reply which Governor Grose-
beck has received from I. Leo Joent,
head of the Saginaw Valley Miners
|, association in answer to his request
that the men Of this organization re
turn to work under state control in or
81 " luIiilSll lutl lOl oIulC ttAiu hieA''t
cipal institutions, indicates that the
Transcript did not exaggerate the
meaning of Mr.. Lewis statement OF
his unions position. Mr. Jones repl.'
is uncompromising and insulting. II
is utterly lacking in any consideration
for the people of Michigan. 1t is, in
its sesence an ultimatum which cor
tains no vestige of public spiritedneSs
or loyalty to the country The only
allegiance Mr.. Jones acknowledges Is
an allegiance to his union and its pre-
sident.
Under the circumstances there is
one thing left for the governor of
Michigan to do il he performs his
full duty and that. is to make 1t Gear
to everybody that the state is sover-
eign within it's own borders and is
able and is prepared to defend itself.
There is prevalent condition OF nee
essity before which the private inter
ests of the coal miners must give
way. The people of the state stand
behind Mr.. Groesbeck in any mea-
sure he may consider necessary in or
der to meet that necessity.
And what is true of the situation
in this state is true of the situation
generally throughout the nation. 1t is
up 10 the federal government to as
sert itself and the rights of the peo>
Pile by any steps that are needful,
and to do so Immediately. America
has a right to expect its government

Remeber those hoors skirts-how
quaint and winsOme the girls looked
and then the skirts so tight they had
to trip instead of walk? How fa3cinat-
ing they were as they pit-a-pat along.
Soon came those long and sweeping 3
lines, that all conceled yet half re
vealed the grace and beauty Of the
pretty miss, and then of evenings these
majestic trans and that bewitching
Princess gown, displaying every curve
and unduletion of the form divine

rrettier still, and tomorrow they'll be
longer and still prettier. Styles change
but the ability to make styles alway )
the best ever is the thing that counts.

THE APOTHEOSIS
----.------- OF HYPOCRISY

"The government goes right on ig-
noring the prohibition law on sea while
making some ineffective efforts to en-
force it on land" remarked August
Busch, of Anheuser-Busch, Inc, when
he arrived last week from Europe.
Mr.. Busch futher stated that passen-
gers on the George Washington dis
cussed the buying of liquor from the
government on board the ship and
then inviting the government to arrest
and prosecute them when they reached
shore.
Ii would certainly be a nice legal
question as to whether the government
could use money from the United Stat
es Treasury to sell liquor on its ships
at a profit and then prosecute a pur-
chaser for violation of the law.
1t is ture the government is in an
awkward position. The shipping Board
is spending thousands of dollars to
stimulate passenger traffic, but much
of the money is wasted because dry
ship has hard time to win travellers.
The majority of the people Of the
United States may be dry but they
don't travel the ocean enough to back
up an American Merchant Marine
along lines of moral conduct.

pouse prohibition have their cellars
