WORDS, WORDS, WORDS!

A common expression with South
ern negroes when they disdain the
remarks of others is, "Yo' talks all
de time, but all yo' SEE rs words"
Whenever hear some preacher or
reformer criticizing the movies and
the theatre,I think of that expression
Alice Duer Miller, noted writer,
has said, "The people who go to the
movies don't criticize them-whereas
the people who criticize the movies
don't go TO them"
There is so much good in the
movies that preachers and reformers
who criticize them make themselves
Observation-Disclosures they don't know
what they are talking about! And
there is so much bad in the movies
that we are often amazed that movie
fans do not speak out in meeting"
against those things that are bad.
Not that there is so much that
could be termed immoral but there is
so much in them that is silly and
incredible
If those who do not go TO the
movies would shut up for awhile and
let those who do go say something,
1t wouldn't be long before pictures
would cease to be an insult to our
intelligence

DEAD SAILOR STANDS GUARD
ON SUNKEN VESSEL

Few stranger stories have been
brought up from the sea than that of
the silent sentry of H. NJ. S. Ariadne,
told by the wreck of the cruiser sunk
by German submarine five miles off
Eastbourne in 1917, as reported "The
London Daily Mail"
According TO the diver, Dan Homet,
of Glasgow, he saw a marine support
ed by portion of the rifle with bay
onet fixed grasped in his hand He
seemed as though he had been in the
same position in the dim shadows of
the wreck for five years, standing
sentry over the dead, for thirty-four
men are believed to have gone down
with the ship.
"The diver told the story when he
came up from the wreck after being
imprisoned there for an hour" said
Mr. Pollard, who is in charge of the
diving operations for marine salvage
contractors. "He got into an awkward
corner and narrowly escaped with his
life. He was in a condition of much
stress at the time after his expert
ence."

first place select bottles hat have
no sharp corners which cannot be
cleaned. They should be rounded On
the inside. Buy nipples that can be
turned inside out and scrubbed with
a brush kept for that purpose.
Above all, remember that soap and
boiling water are the great purifiers.
Wash not only the bottles and nipples
in hot suds, but also the mixing
pitcher, the measuring glass and
spoons, jar for the nipples and
cover for the bottle (if shoppers are
used). Rinse in hot water and boil
for five minutes. After sterilizing
be careful not to touch anything on
the inside. Don't stand the bottle
upside down. Fill them as soon as
possible and keep cool until used.
Cover with rubber shoppers, sterile
cotton, wax paper held on with rub
Der bands. Put the nipples in the
sterilized jar and keep covered. Have
another jar for the used nipples.
1t is best to have a separate shelf
on which all the utensils needed may
be kept and not used for any other

GET RID OF FEAR

Psyche analysis has at least.
taught us what large and destruc-
tive part fear plays in our lives
There is hardly anyone who has not
some private and particular fear. 1t
may be purely imaginary terror
which Expresses us, but it obstructs
both cur happiness and our progress.
We fear our parents, ourselves,
poverty, disease, old age, death. We
fear, to am absurd degree, one an0th-
er's opinions. The man who would
not hesitate to risk his life in battle
would shrink in abject terror from
walking up a public street in ridicu-
lous costume, or carrying a bundle.
Millions of women who are positively
heroic under physical trials, suffer ag-
ones at the thought of not being as
fashionably dressed as other women.
They torment themselves and impov-
erish their husbands in their feversh
strivings after what they take to be
'smartness.
Fear of the future makes us misers
and oppressors of the poor, Fear of
death haunts many of us through
life and sometimes chills our joy in it.
Yet it is not difficult to cast our
fear. We must realize that we are
at least masters of ourselves. Moth
ing can hurt us if we refuse to let
it. The roots of most of our fears
lie in ourselves, and by steadfastly
turning our thought $ away from
them and opposing them with
thoughts of security and immunity
from the particular dangers we
dread, We can actually change, not
only ourselves, but the very condi-
tons of our lives.
Everything is done in thought be-
fore it becomes manifest in deed.
Thought is the great artificer that is
constantly building from within
what eventually shows without. First
go resolutely to the root Of your
fear; try to find out what you fear
and why you fear it, and You will
almost certainly find out that there
is no solid foundation for it at all.
Then turn your back on it completely.
Face the other way, and determine
that you will allow it to have hold
over You no longer, And you will be
astomished to find how quickly it will
disappear.-Bristol (Englandl Times
and Mirror.

A HARBINGER OF SPRING

The boys are playing marbles in
vacant lots and along the streets.
1t is sure proof that spring is just
around the corner. They swear. lot,
and accusations are made that they
gamble in their games.
But what of it? They are doing
the same things their dads did before
them, and their granddads, AID infini-
tum! And when the sap begins to
rise, boys begin to grow uneasy for
the games Of boyhood.
| don't mind their playing marbles,
! can overlook their profanity, and |
give them the benefit of the doubt in
the charge that they gamble, but
DO wish they wouldn't commit
obscenities on my doorstep!

SABOTAGE IN SENATE SURE
TO BE RESENTED BY PUBLIC

Thousands of curious people were
drawn to the Senate wing of the Cap
itol Wednesday, The country has in
formation from the Associated Press
that throughout the day the CALLER
les were crowded, while in the night
long lines of those waiting to get Il
the corridors"
We're these curious thousands
drawn to the Senate by a desire to
hear a profound, illuminating and
help full discussion on problems of
the day? Not bit of it! They We're
drawn there by the same motive that
draws thousands TO the circus; for the
United States Senate has turned into
vaudeville performance and a num-
Der of senators are behaving like
spoiled wilful boys.
During the day Senator Reed, of
Missouri, consumed several hours of
the session with dreary, irrelevant
talk on resolution of his own intro
duction for the purchase by the Uni
ted States from Great Britain and
France of their caribbean posses
sions. After Reed had finished Sem
ator Borah gave prolonged and m
relevant Borean blast on "recogni-
ton of Russia" To add to the friv-
olous gaiety of the occasion Senator
Williams, of Mississippi, then began
an address analyzing the preceding
speeches.
Meanwhile Senator Brookhart, of
Iowa, and Senator Hefn, of Ala
bama, stod ON the side line just
"r'arin' to go" with ~ and Ia hour
speeches. Senator Hehin had a long
speech all prepared relating to the
discovery of the tomb of his late
majesty. King Tutankhamen, of
Egypt
When these senatorial vaudevil-
lians hear from the country and their
intelligent constituents they will find
that senatorial sabotage is no more
to the liking of sensible Americans
than /. w w. sabotage. The only
difference between the two is that
one is obstructive of industrial pro
gress and the other is throwing mon
key wrenches, sand and emery dust
into the wheels of governmental ma
chinery.-Spokane SrokeNman@Re,

ATTEMPT TO CURTAIL PA. FIRE
MEMS FUND

Eugene C.. Bonniwell, executive
chairman of the Pa. Firemen's Asso-
citation, has issued warning to the
fremen of the State against the at
tempt of certain politicians to deprive
them Of the fremen's relief fund.
On Monday evening, February rs,
1928, Senator George Woodward pre-
scented Senate Bill No. 1876 to repeal
the Acf approved July Is, 1919, whose
purpose was to award TO the Relief
Associations Of the Fire Companies
of the State the two per cent derived
from foreign fire insurance.
The passage of the Act of 1919
(Firemen's Two Per Cent Relief was
only accomplished after an ex-
penditure of labor and effort on the
part of the State lFiremen's Assoeia-
ton, the various Fire Companies and
their members throughout the State
during period of twenty years time.
No more mel-itorious Act was
ever passed by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania. The justice of this APP
preparation was so universally recog-
nized by the Legislature of 1919 that
both the House and the Senate unan-
imously approved this Bill and its
aim, the recognition in some degree
Of the unselfish and volunteer work
of the fremen in Boroughs, Town
shisp and Counties, as well as the I'M
der payment of the firemen in cities
of the first and second class, was but |
slight acknowledgement of the in
valuable service which the members |
of our fire companies perform
These monies are in no sense gra-
tuities. They were designed by the |
Legislature to be applied to the sick |
relief and death benefits of the great |
body of firemen in Pennsylvania, |
who are its first line against the APP
palling losses which afflict our com
monwealth, and it is an outrageous
proposition that ought to be vehem-
entity condemned by you and your
members in order to recoup the |
CHASTITY extravaganza of the last |
State administration, your widows
and dependent children should be
denied their scanty measure of relief. |
You are asked to at once call a
meeting Of your fire company to
adopt resolutions denouncing pro-
gram that will, for the sake of less
than million dollars, pauperize
thousands of deserving firemen and
render the dependent widows and
children objects of public charity.
You are also urged TO appoint com
mittees TO see your member of the
Legislature and your State Senator,
and to express in the most emphatic
fashion your objection to the adoption
of this repeal.
You owe it To your community as
well as your fire company TO act as
once and you are requested to send
to me copies of such resolutions and
actions as your company takes in the
matter.

SIXTEEN VETERANS GIVEN
FARMS IN MISS

Sixteen veterans of the World War,
trained in agricultural schools by the
United States Veterans Bureau, have
been located upon farms near Canton,
Miss, by Blair Harrison, chief of re-
Mobilization for the sixth distries of
the bureau, as an experiment. 1t is
the first farming community to be cs
tablished by the bureau in its effort
to return to their proper station in
society men disabled in the world
conflict.
Each veteran has been given full
ly equipped forty-acre farm, facing
upon highway, and it has been ar
ranged that he may own the property
within a few years. The farms COM
prise part of an initial tract Of 1850
acres set ASIDE by citizens of Canton,
and it is proposed ultimately to have
$50 veterans IN the vicinity and t,
have under cult alton Approximately
1900 acres of truck land.
The underwriting of the venture is
by the local Chamber of Commerce
which raised a fund to guarantee
banks for money advanced to con-
struet homes and for other purposes.
Each of the first sixteen farmers
has NEST egg saved from pay
ments made by the bureau during his
period of training, but part of each
monthly compensation check must go
toward payment for the land and
other equipment furnished by the
bureau and citizens of Canton.
In addition to his land each veter-
an will have a specially constructed
house of three rooms with two por-
ches, one screened for sleeping. They
also will have their own school at
which they may continue their agri-
cultural education and at which their
children will pursue the usual school
work.
In order that the farms may be
stocked the Illinois Central Railroad
Company has agreed to ptovide pure
bred hogs and permit the veterans to
pay for them with revenue derived
from increases in the herds.
The veterans will do their own
marketing on cooperative basis.

VETERANS BUREAU HAS 40 P. c.
DEAD WOOD".

A Citizens Committee appointed in
New York City to investigate the af-
fairs of the Veterans Bureau in this
district, comprising New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, has reported
that 40 per cent of the Bureaus em-
ployees should be discharged as dead
wood" Copy of their report has been
forwarded to President Harding
They recommended that all civilian
employees other than widows of vet
Grams receiving salary of 5000 or
ever, be dismissed and their places
filled with veterans.
CHANGING over the situation, as a
whole" the report says, 1--WE may de-
scribe it roughly as chaos wherein
red tape is rampant; where often a
request in one letter is passed upon
by fifty people before receiving final
attention; wherein ten people often
are required TO perform the work of
one; wherein it is easier 10 delay
by writing for further particulars
and to equivocate than to take def
mite action, which might by some
chance involve the taker of such ac-
ton in explanations to one or more
superiors.
As a further example of waste, the
report points out that "there are
l,790 employees in the Second District
of the United States Veterans Bur-
eau, exclusive of doctors, nurses and
medical attendants in Government
hospitals. This, figured on the basis
Of the veterans being served is a
proportion of one Federal employe to
every twelve veterans receiving Fed
eral attention.
