MOVIES ON TRAINS

y railroad running between
Chicago and st. Louis has re-
Gently installed movie and radio
outfits on some OF its trains and
promises that all regular trains
service soon will be so equipped.
At two in the afternoon the
dining car of the passenger tdain
is transformed into small movie
fsheater. Tables disappear and
make room for more chairs. The
galley becomes the operator S
booth. and a screen is placed at
the lar end of the car. For four
hours the reels spin on and pass
engers may turn from their bored
study OF time tables, newspapers
and magazines TO the movies en-
tertainment.
On the evening trains the mo-
ton picture outfit gives place TO
a radio set. At this time pass
engers may listen in on concerts
from far and wide.
Modern travel is rapidly be-
coming equipped with all the COM
forts and disadvantages OF home.
One NAV go abroad to distant
lands and be followed by the
movie show, the concert or pub
lie speech given back in the old
home town. Or one may never
break out of his quiet communl-
tv. and still see and hear the sights
and sounds of far countries and
strange peoples.
Surely every taste and every
purse ought to be Satlshed-eN-
cept in the case of those old-fash-
toned folk who travel for the sake
of change OF scene, new expert
ences and mental refreshment, or
those who stay at home because
they wish peace and quiet and
mental refreShment.

wage offers with their consequent
tendency TO higher prices.
Against these claims a counter
suggestionis offered. While it is
admitted that present imnngra-
ton laws are faulty, it is propos-,
ed that before the bars are let
down to permit another alien in
dustrial influx, America should
tackle the problem OF better dis
tribution of the workers already
in the country,
In the coal industry it is esti-
mated that from 80 to 90 per
cent Of the mines now being op'
Grated could be closed and the
men employed in them reverted
!! to other occupations, and that the
coal industry, the country at
large, the employing element and
the workers themselves would
benefit.
While the mines offer the great
est example in the country today
of a labor surplus, there are other
occupations i'll which shifts could
be made to the profit OF all con-
cerned. 1t is a reasonable Sug-
pestion that these matters be adj
iusted before a new army OF Ia
Dor complexities the situation still
further. Even then, as industry
resumes full activity, more work
ers may be needed; but with these
previous adjustments made the
new labor supply can be placed to
greater advantage for both work
err and employer.

NEGLIGENCE ONLY

That which was inevitable has
happened. An automobile went
over the embankment at the west
entrance to the bridge on North
Washington street, taking along
with it the fence. The Gazette
has warned repeatedly OF the
deathly danger of this place and
considers il very lucky that some
one was not killed. Will the au-
thorities never see the danger I'M
til someone is killed: Then they
will, we suppose, put up the warn
ing signal. They will act like
the man who locked the stable
door after the steed was stolen.
Such negligence is merely crlml-
nal. nothing else.

GONE MOT FORGOTTEN

y few more hours and the
YEAR 1922 will have passed into
ne ranks OF the has beens and
nall cease 70 be forever. There
5 a sadness that comes over us
Is we look back over the days
that are past and regret that we
have not done more. There is d
feeling of gladness that also
comes creeping in beside that
other feeling when we view the
old year in retrospect and see the
handiwork of ourselves and OF
our fellow-n1anJ
When Father Time reaches
forth his bony fingers and tears
from the calendar of the ages the
sheet that has marked the past
year we shall be filed With a var
iety OF feeling ranging through
from JOY to sorrow and in pass
ing through some shall feel to-
ward the passing of the old and
the coming OF the new the same
they feel toward everything
indifferent.
Alexandria has accomplished
wonders in the past year and has
come far closer to the coveted
goal OF Greater Alexandria.
The old form OF city government
which proved to be so cunber-
some has gone and in It's place,
firmly established but not having
had enough time to prove It's real
worth. is the more modern city

The dark. old street lights have
been supplanted with the new

spirit has been lighted by a y. NJ.
c. \. promise. \ new school
building is nearing completion
and the children OF the city will
through this, be given a better
opportunity to get an eduration
under the best OF conditions.
Much street work has been done,
The city has been beautihed in 4
thousand different ways. But
greater than all these is the wax
ening OF the city to a more per-
feet realization of the potentially
that may be had in cooperation.
Each man, woman and child
worthy To be called native OF

his fellow and is working toward

Burplarize Five Places

A party of bandits cleaned up five
business houses in Joice Tuesday
night, the robberies not being dis
covered until the next morning. The
following report is taken from We'd
nesday's Mason City Globe-Gazette
under a Joice date line Of that date.
The members of this town quail
fed for full membership in the So
ciety of sound sleepers last night
or early this morning, when they
continued to sncoze while robbers
entered six places of business blow
ing a safe i'm one, and escaped with
loot which totaled in the neighbor-
hood of $500. A hazy recollection on
the part of a few hearing an au-
tomobile speed down main street al
about 3 o'clock this morning is the
only impression the bandits made
until this morning when the various
proprietors opened their various
places of business and found theil
cash register rifled.

Ruy. But Buy Wisely

While government propaganda aim
ed at establishing economy among
the people is all right as far as it
goes, the people will do well to re-
member there is a wide difference
between economy and a deternina-
ton not to buy. Economy is wise
buying of necessities, and it is well
also to have a pretty clear idea Of
what necessities consist. A new
talking machine record to bring re-
lief from monotony on the farm is
a better investment than a doctor 5
bill incurred as the result Of shat
tered nerves. Naturally the govern
ment's aim is the investment of the
public money in government secur-
tiles, undoubtedly the safest in the
world, but there is q business side of
spending as we'll as of saving tha.
must be taken into consideration
The merchants Of this town, as well
as those of every other town, must
be kept busy. If our people are to
have the convenience of home town
purchasing, then the people must
keep the goods moving off the shell,
YES of the merchants. There is nc
loss, no waste in home town buying
because the money circulates in Oul
own territory, and eventually ge.s
back to the purchaser. 1t j. only
when money is taken out of town
that the harm is felt. Thrift SHOULD
be encouraged, but thrift does no
mean no buying. Russell Sage, whC
left millions, was thrifty. He
bought his straw hats in the wintei
time and his flannel underwear in til,
summer time, when prices were
down, but even he bought what HI
needed. Healthy home trade will de
more than anything else to restor,
sound prosperity. We are all in tn
same boat. We cannot be prosperou
at the expense of our local mer
chants, and we don't want to be.

DIR. NORLIE SURPRISED.
Luther College Professor Given Hap
py Surprise Wednesday.

DR.. o. NJ. Norlie professor of psy-
chology at Luther college, was
very pleasantly surprised by the
members of the faculty and few
other friends last Wednesday after
noon. The faculty assembled for the
weekly faculty meeting at 4:30. At
ter the routine business of the week
had been transacted, Prof. Tingelstad
arose and moved that the faculty
adjourn to the home of DR.. Norlie
for a houSe-waming according to
prearranged plan, the occasion being
the completion of his new home,
which he built last summer and fall
on the hin to the east and north of
the college.
DR.. Norle's surprise had been COM
plete, but was still greater when, on
coming to his home he found it oc-
cupied by the ladies Of the faculty,
who had come there during the after
noon and taken possession of the
house with Mrs. Norlie's permission.
After an hour spent in visiting DIR.
Gjerset, acting as master of cere-
monies, gave the floor to DR.. Olson.
DIR. Olson congratulated Dr. and Mrs.
Norlie on the completion of their
home and gave them the best wishes
of their friends for many years Of
happiness with their family. He
further complimented the college on
/ the completion of this new home
as it gave promise that DR.. Norlie
would not soon severe his connections
with the college where his services
are highly valued. DIR. Olson men
toned in this connection that it is
not generally known that when the
editorship of the Independent Maya
zine was vacant last summer, the
position was twice offered to DIR.
| Norlie with a salary of $4,000 and
that he refused both offers to contin-
ue his work at Luther College at
on-fourth that salary. In conclusion
IDr. Olson presented DR.. and Mrs,
Norlie with small purse as token
of appreciation from the faculty.
After a response by DR.. Norlie, Rev,
Glesne spoke, and in accordance with
DR.. Norlie's request dedicated the
house.
The ladies then served a bounteous
supper to all of the guests after
which the program was continued
with songs, music, and speeches by
different persons called upon by DIR
Gjerset. The party broke up early
in the evening.
