HOYES

Mr.. Jerome McCleary and daugh-
tiers, Mary and Ruth, Mr.. Snaveley
and Miss Charlotte Lee, of Johns
town, Pa, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton
Friend, spent the Fourth at the home
of Mr.. N. H. Casteel in this commu-
nifty.
Among those from this community
who attended the camp meeting at
Mountain Lake Park on Sunday were
the following named: Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Arthur Dewitt and family; Mr..
and Mrs. Hamilton Friend and others.
While at the Park Mrs. Dewitt Wis
tied her father Rev. Henry E. Friend,
who has been very seriously i'll for
a short time.
Quite an accident took place last
Sunday morning about three o'clock
at point on the Friendsville road
when two buggies going in opposite
directions collided. One of the vehi-
Giles was upset and the other badly
broken. The accident was due to the
sleepiness of the respective drivers,
who had fingered late with their lady
friends.
Mr.. j. A. Dewitt and Mr.. Webb
Dewitt were at Oakland on business
last Saturday.

THE TILTED SCALE

The Christians God always writes
so a Christian can read it. Daniel
knew both hand and handwriting.
Three Hebrew measures gave him all
the clew needed to interpret the
meaning. Indeed, he could have given
the same message without the char
acters upon the wall if he had had
chance. Any clear thinking man could
have pronounced sentence upon the
outcome of such conditions among
those who ruled More recently war
was merely the handwriting upon the
wall that spelled in flaming light the
truth about alcohol that gave oppor-
tunity for its reading in the ears of
startled audience Belshazzer was "A
far better sport than his followers for
there's grim humor in his making
Daniel one of the rulers of the city
about to fall. He wouldn't whimper
at any rate and he would play the
game. The liquor crowd today are
very far from being such as he.
Familiar with the tactics of the trade
which has always been lawless, it
has insisted that something has been
tricked over. Belshazzer took his
medicine and didn't whine. He al
most redeems himself in those last
hours of palace occupancy. For the
simple line of record goes on: On
that night was Belshazzer the king of
the Chaldeans slain" 1t ended his
drinking rule, but not the rule of
drink. That is yet to be accomplished,
but forty-six of our governors declare
that King Alcohol shall never return
to his throne and practically all the
supporters of his suppression have de-
clared against his restoration. The
scale tipped so decisively will ont re-
turn to level. Found wanting" has
been the verdict, and doom is the
only ending for man, nation or insti-
tuition so weighed.

In the midst of the hilarlty there

In the midst of the hilarity there
came a sudden interruption. All about
the room were models of hands placed
upon every cornice as a protection
against evil spirits. Jehovah has a
rare sense of humor, for it was an
other Wand that gave the proclama-
ton Of doom. Upon the plaster APP
peared the mysterious characters, and
the king was in an immediate panic.
Loud calls were made for wiseemen.
1t is a little late for counsel after
rocking the boat until it is filling But
as always with the boat-rock ng crew,
they turn in the wrong direction for
aid, for these chosen counselors of
Belshazzer were of the same type as
himself and all their pratense Of wis
dom vanished in the dismay,ng pres
ence Of mystery. The confusion spread
throughout the palace and the queen
mother dared the unholy presence to
bring help and viewed the sobered
throng and shaking king with clear
headed understanding. Ske took COM
mand and said: TSend for Daniel"
The American queen is coming into
the confused crowd of wordly-wise
counselors, some drunk with Office,
some with outlawed liquor, sitting in
the face Of industrial, social world
disorder and is saying again: ."Call
the Prophet Jesus into the affairs of
the world and listen to Him for a way
out" And Daniel came. "I'll pay
you so much" said the king. That
was his only conception of way to
get service for the state in a crisis.
All men could be bought, was his no.
ton, because he had sold himself to
every lawless thing in town. When
Uncle Sam was in need he said: "I'll
give you dollar year." and Edison
and Schwab and hundred more came
crying: Here's my best" and thous-
ands leaped into khaki shouting:
"Here's my all" Daniel said: "Give
your reward to. another; nevertheless
| will read the writing There was
one man in Babylon who was a king
by Divine right, but he didn't need
crown and purple to tell it. Neither
do our own royal families.
SHOOT TO KILL!
General Jackson paid high tribute
to the preacher who was advised to
be careful in what he said because
the General was in the congregation.
His only comment was to tell what
had been told him and add: "God will
send General Jackson to hell as quick
as anybody else if he doesn't obey
Him." Daniel knew the man who
needed hitting and he shot to kill, not
to bring applause by the big bang of
his gun. He cited the thing that was
well known in the affairs of the state
when its king had been denoted be-
cause he had been over-proud. He
would read the writing but he would
first save the man if he could by
breaking through the denseness of de-
bauchery into the heart of him. Such
is always the real drive of a follower
of the God of Daniel. True as truth
itself truth must be made known, but
it is never in vindictiveness or hate, |
but always that good may be done.
The message must be delivered, tho
it spell doom, but his voice choked as
he spoke it. Christ had His tears, but
no faltering in deed or speech.

SUNDAY, JULY 16. -
THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL-Daniel 5.

WALL-Daniel 5.
God will bring every work into iudg-
ment, with every hidden thing,
whether it be good, or whether it
be evil.-Eccl. 12:14.
THE DROPPED PILOT
The cartoon is familiar enough,
whether it be the figure Of the kaiser,
eX-President Wilson or any other that
has been taken from the direction Of
affairs. Daniel had disappeared with
the past generation in spite of all that
he had done for the state For Nebu-
chadnezzer was dead and another oc-
cupied the throne. Perhaps the hos
tility that cropped out at so many
times against the commanding Jew
may explain the disappearance of this
chief among the counselors.
But the new chief would not welcome
any such person among his advisers,
for the whole character of the clean
souled dreamer would be antagonistic
to Belshazzar. He who could face a
perilous world situation with a mud
died brain and would for drunken
orgy call his captains from the walls
menaced by the enemy could have no
fellowship with the man to whom
duty was spelled with capitals, to
whom loyalty was more than life. His
crowd had no place for a prophet.
And if history repeats itself it never
will. The unbroken record of the CEN
turtles has been the breakdown of ev-
cry platform built of barrels and the
loss of every prophet whose spirit
came IN casks. From Babylon to the
Marine liquor has been the fruitful
bringer of defeat. One of his men
reported Hooker drunk at Chancel-
louisville and said he had made the
statement that not even God AL
mighty could keep him from winning
a victory. God didn't have a thing to
do-a little black bottle was all that
was needed with sober Jackson and
sober Lee on the other side. Small
wonder that Daniel was omitted from
the list of acquaintance of this sorry
figure of Babylons ruler. All the more
honor for Daniel.
There is very little in the record
about the man who was in power. He
may have been local ruler instead Of
master of the empire, but he was SUI
perstitious and gathered all the gods
he could lay hands on In order that
there might be adequate defense.
Probably the feast was religious at
base and was intended as a great
stroke of policy in securing the favor
of the deities that Daniel scornfullv
lists. Liquor let loose lust for wives
and concubines part of the crowd. In
famed with drink the innate irrever-
ence of the man called for some new
sensation and the display of coarse
wit by bringing in for drunken reveI
the vessels dedicated to holy use. Su-
perstitious, sensual, utterly destitute
OF judgment in crisis, drunken and
profane, he makes nothing but a blot
upon history's page.

American Dress Trade
Making Longer Skirts
From Nine to Twelve Inches
From Ground To Be Stan.
dard, Saws Official

With Paris determinedly persisting
in re-establishing the long skirt, and
Paris usually wins out, manufacturers
in this country are now bending their
efforts nearer the ground
According to David NJ Mossesohn.
executive director of the Associated
Dress Industries of America, the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce of the
Dress Industry, "Makers are now pre-
pairing their fall lines" he said, "and
tfre tendencies are Enthusiastically for
longer skirts. Well dressed women on
Fifth Avenue and at the fashionable
resorts are all wearing skirts in line
with the Paris edict. Seven or eight
inches from the ground is recognized
as "the" length in style circles. This
applies. with slight modification, to
suit skirts, dress skirts and evening
skirts.
"The fapper will probably continue
to wear the knee length skirt until she
is alone in her extreme style" he said
"and some manufacturers Of dresses
will probably cater to that class OF
trade. The manufacturers of dresses
for the fashionable and we'll dressed
woman, howevedr, will surely make
their skirts longer, although not quite
SO long as the Paris DEGREES. The
length will be modification to about
nine or eleven or twelve inches. Here.
tofore fourteen to sixteen inches has
been in vogue even in fashionable cir.
cles.
mine inches from the ground is
practically ankle length. Twelve in.
ches is a little below the calf muscle
but is much longer than imaginzf Z or
would visualize it.
"'There is also a tendency toward
full mes with the length, which per
mits more freedom in walking when ,e
skirt is long"
