Writing. to the New York
Times correspondent says: "The
reason why the poor whites in
the south are as they are is be-
cause we Americans are mostly
concerned in making profits, and
but little, or none at all, in max
ing a higher type of human be-
ings. Until our concern is revers-
ed and we are chiefly concerned
in human welfare in the mass we
will have an abundance of poor
whites everywhere, as we have al
ready. With very little differ
ence in kind or degree we have
the same type locally in every
state in the Union.

|NvEN1S PERFECT CLOCK

Rev. William Leary, S. j., professor
of science and astronomy in the Jesuit
university, Dublin. has invented a
clock, which, it is claimed, keeps per-
feet time, because it is automatically
stopped and restarted sixty times ev-
cry hour. The pendulum, which is
entirely detached from the clock
works, is a free-swinging one and
regulates the clock every minute.

Some ministers in the Church of
England who protested against
the ordination of a candidate on
the ground that he had been a
carpenter, seem to have overlook
ed a fact with which all clergy
men are supposed to be somewhat
familiar. Before commission of
bishops appointed to examine in
to the social solecism, Mr.. Bond
had only to say: II believe there
was once a Carpenter" and the
bishops saw the point where the
clergymen failed to perceive it.
AT the hands of a bishop the ap-
plicant has received his consecra-
ton and his appointment.

LENIN THE AUTOCRAT.

Recent reports convey the news
that Lenin, the Russian revolu-
ZIONIST, is desperately i'll. Several
times it was announced that he
had passed away. Authentic in
formation appears to be lacking,
although there seems little doubt
Of his physical plight. Ills pass
ing, like that Of Carranza, would
relieve a tension that is not good
for the world.
The picturesque, rand meteoric
rise Of this man benin points to
the chaotic state in which Russia
found herself at the collapse Of
the Romanoffs. Like miasma
ascending from mass of putre-
faction, the revolutionary leader
poured his pestiferous influence
all around him. Misery, despera-
ton of the direst form, had en-
quilted the vast stretches Of human
habitation known by the name of
Russia. Authority swept away,
anarchy stalking unchecked, star
walton harvesting millions Of per-
sons, socialism saw it's great OPP
portunity and seized the field.
With all the wiles and promises of
that fallacious creed, it set to
work to erect state upon the
ruins Of the empire. Lenin aimed
at elevating the so-called prole-
tariat to supremacy. He would
arm the peasant and place him in
the halls of legislation. Force,
brute power unrestrained, would
rule the state. Equality Of pos
session, Of influence, Of wealth
were slogans that made strong ap-
peal to those who never had
known anything better than prac-
teal serfdom.
The result was not hard to fore
see. 1t often has happened in the
history Of the world. France
knew it as the Reign Of Terror:
Rome saw it in the civil wars Of
Cicero's time; Greece earlier still
| had suffered from it under the
lieutenahts Of Alexander, while
even more ancient peoples have
left their records of an Identical
condition in Egypt, Babylonia,
Persia, Assyria and the far reach
es of the Orient.
An observant writer describes
Lenin as genius who reckoned
without human nature. His
weapon was merely brute force.
His constructive work was the
establishment Of the Russian state,
which consists In modifying Rus
STA s man-poWer and organizing 1T
after the fashion of an American
factory-with equal pay for all
and equal share in the products OF
the necessaries and comforts OF
life. Hence none would hate or
rob or kill or cheat y Something
like Conan Doyle 'sidea of heaven.
It was the heaven of the
BEAST" continues this writer,
conceived by the genius of the
beast" Human nature and Prov
idence combined to upset Lenin s
plans; for after he had permit
ted, for the time being, the pri-
vate ownership of land, the city
dwellers moved to the country,
took up their claims, and now the
whole nation seems In fair way
to revert to normal ideas along
the line of private ownership.

THE PASSING SHOW.

1t is a pleasing mental relaxa-
ton to take ones stand upon a
high hill and there behold the
passing show Of humanity. Man
kind surges along it's weary way,
laundering and fussing, arguing
and quarreling, forgetful Of the
real pleasures of life that might
come to all were human reason,
instead of selfshness, the guide.
Down in the valley, winding in
and out with disordered ranks,
pushing and trampling one an
other, the sorrow-laden children
of Adam plunge forward blindly.
Many know not whittier they are
going: many more care less. They
aim but to live and enjoy them
selves by the way; while all the
time they pant and perspire over
trifies that should be quickly cast
aside as impediments, instead of
being pondered over and gazed at
as portentous things.
In this great human procession,
that started thousands Of years
ago away off in distant Asia, one
sees every possible and conceiv-
able weakness that marks the race
exemplified and personifed in the
individual. All are endowed with
mental faculties. Each has an i'm
mortal soul, an Unsuitable yearn-
ing for happiness and the means
at hand to attain this boon. And
yet, the mess they make Of it all.
Laying aside the better qualities
of the mind, they strive to win out
through the use Of baser material /:
like leper proudly displaying his
sores as evidence Of superiority in
beauty show.
One popularity about this pro-
cession is that each marcher wears
a mantle. At times one beholds
the mantle Of innocence, of virtue,
of sincerity. Usually, however,
such coverings are carefully laid
aside or completely ignored; and
the soldiers of life assume the
garb that they think will most
strongly attract. Hypocrisy is the
most frequently noted among the
itinerants. For this garment hides
a multitude Of evil desires and
ambitions. To the myopic it looks
like the mantle of virtue, while
the discerning easily detect the
moth-eaten vesture as shoddy.
At times one decries the mantle
of religion covering fetid, walk
ing corpse. This is the most de-
spicable Of all, for it debases and
prostitutes the most sacred thing
in all creation. The religious
hypocrite smirks and ogles as he
struggles to draw attention to
himself. He strives to elbow his
way through the seething mass,
hoping thereby to attract for a
moment the gaze of others. He is
a laughable specimen, for all his
clownishness. The boobs cape
the serious are nauseated, while
the religious mountebank-he is
found in all classes kangaroos
his way through the sweltering
crowds or struts apishly for the
edification of the unwary.

FORD CARS NOW
NEED LESS FUEL
TO MAKE EN- RUN

The Ford Motor Company of De-
troit has just made public list of re-
cent improvements in the mechanical
features of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are better
today than they have ever been be-
fore, the statement adds that fuel con-
sumption is lower; the engine is even
more efficient than formerly; improve
ments in the springs and steering APP
paratus insure easier riding and driv-
ing qualities; a new headlamp lens,
which complies with all state laws,
improves the road light; and that
many other minor betterments have
been made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods
have been re-designed and are
matched for weight before assembling
into motors. This reduces vibration,
and gives the motor quicker pick
up. The new pistons weigh three
quarters of a pound less than those
formerly used. A highly polished
crank-shaft, bearing surface also re-
duces wear and, added to the piston
and connecting rod improvements, in
sures a smoother-running and better
balanced motor. The material used
in the Ford crank-shaft and the care
and precision in its manufacture make
it second to none. 8
The new Ford carburetor gives in
creased acceleration. Though not rad
ically different from the carburetor
previously used, the new construction
improves the all around performance
of the motor, giving it quicker pick
IF afi
The wiring system has been COM
pletely re-designed, and while it costs
more to install than the old system,
it is more efficient. proof of which is
evidenced by the fact that it affords
fire insurance rate as low as the high
err priced cars on the market
Many other changes have been
made A 16-inch steering wheel is
now standard equipment. Thinker roll
er bearings are used in the front
wheels; one-piece pressed steel run
ming board brackets insure body rig
idity and eliminate vibration and body
noises; a dash weather-trough pre-
vents rain from reaching coil termin-
ais or dash wiring; the steering
mechanism has also been improved;
and the tools supplied to purchasers
of Ford cars have been improved in
quality. Another important improve
ment in the truck chassis is the adop-
ton of cord tires as standard equip
ment on the rear wheels.
The changes made some time ago
in the seating arrangement of the
touring car have met with widespread
approval By lowering the seats and
altering the seat backs, greater COM
fort was added.
1t is pointed out that retail sales of
a million cars and trucks yearly, and
the consumption of raw and finished
products at a cost of approximately
one million dollars a day makes it pos
sible to sell Fords at their present low
prices, and at the same time to pro-
duce car of exceptionally high quail
ity.

cars and he is enjoying the big bust

saying is.
