ANYONE CAN IDENTIFY
ABkTTERED FLIVVER

Uncle Alb handed out line not long
ago which seems to us entirely unuec-
essary. says The Field. He says: Can
you identify the family flivver II It
should be stolen? Better put some
identifying marks on it. A few hicks
with a file on some unexposed part
will do.
Is it possible, Uncle Alb, that you
are yet to take your first drive in Il
flivver-that is, with yourself at the
wheel? If, as we suspect, you, like
ourselves, are in the flivver class. can
it be that this Injunction was in
spired by the results of your own ex-
perience, or did you "just think it up?"
Do you mean to tell us that your fliv-
yer. or anybody else's flivver, for that
matter, reaches the possible-theft
state without identifying marks?"
If you really are flivver driver, Un-
Gle Alb, be honest and confess. What
happened the first time you drove out
of the shed and through the barnyard
gate into the road? Are there no iden-
tifying marks of that episode? Or
that time you went to see Brown
about his apples and took Browns
mail box with you as you turned in?
Do you for moment expect us to be-
lieve that, the first time you backed
into the garage, the only marks you
left were the tire tracks and those
on the garage door?
No, no. Uncle Alb. Don't waste
your fine philosophy on such super
fluities. 'Nicks with file on some
unexposed part" Indeed! Why, our
flivver carries on exposed parts such
unmistakable identifying marks that
no thief in his right mind would dare
touch the car without the owners S
permission. We could identify that
car in Ford warehouse, in the wilds
of Harlem, or on a state fair grounds.
There is no possibility of duplicating
its Identifying marks. We speak
from the depths of personal expert
ence, Uncle Ab-sudden, direct and

GOOD PERFORMANCE
OF SACRED CANTATA

Kathleen Hayes, Clara Gutter, Jean
Hadley, William Kahle, Agnew Kut-
ter and Agnes Sauer took the lead
ing roles in the sacred cantata, Ruth,
the Moabitess.7 which was pleasingly
presented in ST. Andrews auditorium
Monday night under the auspices of
the Young Mems institute and St. Ag-
mes society The work of these SOLO
lists was one of the outstanding fea-
Miss Rosella Toschlog was the accom-
panist for the cantata.
The scene of the story related in
the cantata is laid in Palestine part
ly in Bethlehem of Judea and the land
or Moab, and extends over the period
or the famine in the former place as
related in the Book of Ruth. The cam
tata opens with the Israelitish maid
ems praying to their God that he will
send them bread when a messenger
from a foreign land brings news that
in his country there is plenty and
that there is no famine there.
One of the Israelitish maidens bids
the distressed ones to place their
steadfast faith in God, for as he fed
Elijah in the wilderness from the
mouth of a raven, so would He deliver
them from starvation. After wander
ing far, the maidens finally arrive in
the land of plenty where the reapers,
binders and cleaners working in the
field are portrayed. The scene ends
in the chorus singing Praise Ye the
Lord
The song story brings out the great
love and affection displayed in the
Bible story of Ruth. the Moabitess. for
her mother-in-law, Naomi, who was of
Bethlehem, Judea. When the famine
was over in Bethlehem, Naomi desired
to return and Ruth, contrary to the in

We Shall Pass This Way Bot Oaee.

Man knows he shall pass this
way but once. The universe is
too great for man to spend too
long a life here on earth. There
are too many greater fields to
explore. There has been a pro
vision made for promotion for the
worthy when they have passed
this way.
Just as child holds fast to the
things about its home and hesi-
tates to enter broader fields of
life and exploration so does man
love life on his own little earth
with its people with whom he as.
sociates. AS an ugly worm
leaves its own small cocoon and
fits away as a butterfly to great,
er worlds, so does man, when
worthy, leave his worm like exis-
tence, among small objects with.
in the purview of his small con-
ception and enter broader fields
of light and opportunity for good.
The water falls to the earth,
passes to the sea, evaporates and
returns again. In it's rounds il
may be the sap in a tree this
year, the juice in a strawberry
the next and so on.
The decayed TOBACCO stalk does
not die it lets loose its vitality on
the grass plot and the grass
shows up with its life plus the
vitality of the deceased.
If there is rotation and contin'
ual existence in other forms oi
life, why does the skeptic assume
that man with his fine brain
chains of thought, conscience ant
creative genius, perish absolutel!
from the earth and live no more
IT'S true we pass this way bu
once, but live again in anothe

Killing ArmenlanS.

Now that it has been decided
that the Turk is to remain in
Constantinople, the Turkish ar.
mics that have been fighting the
Greeks in Asia Minor are making
their way back to Europe, and
the dispatches from the Near
East announce that the Turks are
indulging freely in their old past
time of killing Armenians.
This evil is and old one, and no
machinery whatever seems to
have been rugged up to protect
the Armenians. The European
nations wanted the United States
back in 1918, to accept a mandate
for Armenia. but that suggestion
was rejected with scorn by oul
Senate. England and France
have been trying, in rather {
feeble way to protect the Ar
menians but that protection doe
not seem to have been worth
much. Bands of disbanded Turk
ish soldiers are roaming abou
Armenia, killing and burning a
they 60.
This world has grown bluntet
with suffering and the Armenian
outrages will unquestionably at
tract less attention than they de
serve. But sooner or later some
thing will have to be done t
meet that terrible situation

Eating Ourselves to Death.

In the days of our forefathers
men were keen of mind, active
of body and rugged of honesty.
They ate simple food and not
tco much of it.
The generation of today is not
compared with that of 100 years
ago, We have not that fine sense
of honor in business that our
mothers and fathers bequeathed
to us. Our bodies are not in the
same pink of condition, and our
minds are more or less Indifferent
except wherein the subject per-
tains to the profit or pleasure of
self.
The reason is simple. Too much
to eat, and too much of it eaten.
1t is true that we have made
wonderful forward strides in the
past century. But they are nc
greater than the opportunities
warrant. Then, too, the brains
that produce these successes
were in the heads of certain in
dividuals, and those individuals
were not gourmands.
The fact is, we are literally eat
ing ourselves to death-slowly,
but surley. we eat as our fancy
dictates, and we eat to excess o1
tof the wrong food.
: If we really knew the proper
ton of the population that is af
flicted with indigestion, or con
stipation, or both, the figure
would be staggering. Correct eat
ing in moderation does not pro
duce either of these complaints.
The child that is stuffed an
pampered from the time it leave
its mothers breast will not pre-
duce either a normal mind O
body. The system cannot prop
erly assimilate the loads of stu
that are shoveled into its ston
y ach. Mental deficiency and bodil
ailments are the inevitable result
We may eat ourselves to deaf
o if we prefer. That is purely ou
i. own affair.
