GIRLS.

The subject of girls, which has en-
gagged the attention of the human
race off and on for several hundred
thousand years, is discussed now with
particular earnestness.
Girls have a way of alarming their
elders. What are they coming to?
has been the cry for ages. The Moa-
bite ladies, observing Ruth chatting
with a young man just arrived from
Bethlehem, probably voted that she
was a bold creature.
A male officer of the Camp Fire
Girls says that the trouble with the
girls of today is their Surroundings.
They have no work to do, so they
live at tremendous speed. He knew
a girl of 70 years so blase that motion
pictures no longer interested her. He
believed that parents are responsible
for the bobbed hair and cigarettes of
girlhood.
The Chicago Board of Education
and remember that Chicago is the
home of all culture-has looked into
the girl problem and condemned
shimmy dances, short skirts, low
necks, joy riding and cigarettes. But
the board says it can do nothing un-
less the parents help.
A piper from Scotland, after look
ing at the modern girls costumes, de-
clared that the lasses were harder
that the killed Highlander.
What's to be done about it all?
Nothing, except whatever the parents
of the girls decide to do. All the
outbursts of associations and boards
of education will not accomplish any
thing.
Bodied hair is a feeting phase. The
girls will abandon it when they see
how plain it makes them. The SHIN
my dance is already passing into the
discard.
Short skirts are here and probably
will stay. So far as modesty is con-
cerned, girl in a short skirt can be
as modest as one with long gown
If the girls can stand short skirts in
this weather they must really like
them. And there is even greater
proof that they have adopted them
for good. News came from Paris

THE BONUS VS.. ARITHMETIC

Secretary Melons case against the
bonus is not matter of opinion or
of politics, but of simple arithmetic.
He points out that the bonus will
cost money-no one knows how much
money, but the best estimate indi-
Gates that the cost will be in the
neighborhood of $85O,OO0,OO0 during
the first two years. The simple ques-
ton is, where are we going to get
100000. during the next two
years?
1t cannot come from the regular
budget, because as the budget for
1928 now stands there is already a
deficit, with no allowance for bonus
expenditures.
1t cannot be provided from Allied
debt repayments, because no one
knows when the Allied debt payments
will begin or how much of them there
will be; an attempt to found the
bonus on the Allied debts would Sc
riously hamper the necessary refund
ing and liquidation of our own ma
tional debt.
1t cannot come from new loans
without a complete overturn of the
refunding machinery, with a conse-
quent disastrous effect upon nationel
economic recovery.
1t cannot come from an extension
of the present taxation system, be-
cause we have already taxed every
thing in sight, and the principal ne
cessity of the moment is to keep our
present repressive taxes low.
The only possbel source is through
new methods of taxation. These may
serve very well as a replacement for
the present methods-but the at
tempt to superpose them Oh the exist
ing taxes would have the effect OF
discrediting the new taxes, aggravat-
ing the old ones, continuing the de
preston, and making the ultimate
recovery so much the more difficult.
Where, then, in the $850,000,00
to come from? 1t is difficult to sec
how the question can be answered
Congress, apparently, preferes not tc
answer it at all. We are told that the
bonus will certainly passive are no,
told-though it might have some
bearing upon the case-how the DO.
nus will be paid.

were born, two of whom preceded
their father to the great beyond. His
devoted widow, two sons, five daugh-
tiers, twenty-one grandchildren and
one greatgrandchild survive.
The funeral was held at the Cas-
selman Mennonite church on Sunday,
January 20. Services were conducted
by C. W. Bender, who based his dis
course upon Ecclesiastes IL, and Ey
the writer, from Psalms %, the lat
ter having been a favorite scripture
of the departed brother. The remains
were buried in the family cemetery,
on the farm now owned by Oliver
Buckle, near Bittinger-the farm be-
ing the one on which the departed
brothers parents lived and where he
and his wife began married life and
lived until recent years, and in this
cemetery his parents and also others
of his relatives are buried.
! We are requested to herein express
the thanks of the bereaved family
for the help and sympathy of neigh
bOrs, both in the vicinity of the home
and also in the vicinity of the place
of burial, in this time of grief.
We trust that truly the departed
brother could say: "The Lord is my
shepherd" and that he approached
and passed through "the valley of the
shadow of DEATH" he needed fear no
evil" and that he may "dwell in the
house of the Lord forever"

However, comparatively little loss
was sustained as the money till,
which was smashed into fragments,
was said to contain little money. A
pair of Russian calf shoes may also
have been stolen, but of this Mr.. Con-

HUTTON
OUR HOLY FATHER.

o1N hCl - HIN.
GLADLY l would give my life for
the pacifcation of the world" These
were the last words uttered by His
Holiness, the late Pontiff Benedict
XIV, when told that masses were be
ing offered for the peace of his soul
Truly, the nations have great cause
to mourn his loss for as a scholarly
man of most brilliant intellect he was
uneXcelled as a statesman and diplo-
mat. A record of his life tells us
that he was the first born of Marquis
and Warehouses Della Chiesa, an an
cient family of nobility, residing at
Court PlaZo, Salita Santa Caterina,
in Genoa, Italy. Quite unlike his
venerable predecessor Plus X, who
gloritied in the title of the Peasant
Pope, His Holiness Benedict XIV, was
of very aristOcratic parentage that
proudly traced their lineage as far
back as the twelfth century. We note
with much interest where Pope limo
cent VIII, elected in 1904, was a de-
scendant of the royal family. His
Holiness being endowed with the
keenest perception, rarely, if ever,
failed to impress the world as to the
folly Of its many transgressions. But
apparently, sad to say, mems minds
were slow to comprehend and yet
slower to hearken to the voice of our
Holy Father For in truth, it may be
said, that the Holy See was covered
with ruffied waters during the great
err portion of his Holy Pontifcate.
Well we remember how he petitioned
the faithful to storm heaven with
/ their prayers, especially the prayer
for peace, which he so ardently com
posed and scattered broadcast thru
the land. The prayer, living replica
of his inmost SOUL Palpitating and
full of anguish! INCREASINGLY he
prayed for compassion on the multi
tude, for he loved all men with an
exceedingly great love. Very ten
derby would he have received them
in paternal and affectionate en-
brace if they would but have come.
Without distinction as to creed or
color all men were to him as his
sheep and as such he diligently
watched least the wolf should come
and catcheth his dearest prize.
/ Benedicta, requiescat in pace!

MRS. JAMES HERSHINGER.

Mrs. James Hershiser departed
this life January 4, 1922. She will
be better remembered as Miss Minnie
Chisholm to her many friends in Gar.
rett county. She spent the greater
part of her life at the home of her
childhood, near the old Chisholm Mill,
in Election District No. 8. Her
father was James Chisholm and her
mother before her marriage was Miss
Mary f. Friend, granddaughter of
Meshach Browning. Mrs. Hershiser
is survived by two brothers and one
sister: Mr.. Arthur Chisholm, of
Friendsville, and James Chisholm, Jr.,
of Gormania, West Va, and Mrs. H.
P. Rotruck, of Cumberland; also by
her husband, James Hershiser, to
whom she was married on September
20, 1920. Following the marriage the
couple resided in Cumberland where
her husband is employed by the West
ern Maryland Railroad Company as
train dispatcher and operator. Last
summer Mrs. Hershiser's physician
advised her to leave Cumberland and
return to her former home, hoping
the change in climate would be of
material benefit to her failing health.
But she was never permitted to re-
turn to- her Cumberland home, her
condition growing weaker each sue
ceeding day She was a Christian in
every sense of the word; a loving
wife, true friend and a willing he'll
