Parents.

For many years. I have been dis

that fathers as well as mothers are

impatient word and gesture is sent

young sUn is asking the man who
brought him into the world some
questions about this old planet upon
which he finds himself.
I want to call to the young father

Holding Hands.

FOLDING HANDS is one of the Oldest sports
Ii in the world. 1t is both an indoor and out
door sport, and may also be regarded as an all
year-around entertainment of which the players do
not grow tired.
Formerly you never witnessed this form of dis
playing affection, except at rural fairs or ON cir
Gus day when the country swain brought his
sweetie to town to see the elephant. The practice
may have caused smiles on the part of town-bred
folks accustomed to suppress all such public de-
monstrations of regard, but the country boy went
right on being the champion hand.holder, regard
less of who looked on or who make remarks. He
was proud of the girl with the pink calico dress
protect her from the elephant at the circus and
the fakirs at the fair by holding her by the hand,
regardless of how the public Uttered.
We don't know as the country boy of long ago
had anything on the young fellow of this day Of
extreme civilization. When you look the works
over we haven't progressed a great ways toward
abolishing hand holding, provided 1t was found
desirable to abolish it, which will not be agreed
to by the great majority. The modern young fell
low goes his ancestor more than one better. He
not only holds her hand in public but he wears
his arm around her and she does not hesitate to
lay her fluffy head on his shoulder. This is the.
picture you see in every movie theater throughout
the seats whatever picture you may see on the
screen.
The most awkward job of hand!holding coming
to notice recently was a pair of affectionatc ones
on the public street, on n recent cold day. Both
wore heavy gloves, of true cold resisting power.
They apparently got a thrill or a kick, or what
ever you get oat of hand holding, even with gloves
on, for they chung to one another until distance.
swallowed them.
All, we'll! it is a harmless sport, a universal
one, and one that has stood the test of time and
has always had the support and approval of the
faculty.

A European View.

After having spent three months in
the United States to study prohibit

sible for a foreigner to master the
whole problem in such a short time

portions. But the European who has
travelled all over his continent. study

United States with that of Europe.

appreciable extent in the United

strangely contradictory upon this

YOUR. COMMON STREAK


In judging humanity as it passes
by the impression is more or les.
conveyed by the character and de
meanor of some that they do no
possess a common streak, which is tt
say they are not human.
The common streak is inherent In
all, showing itself in different char
acteristics. In some it is called or
iginal sin, in others human nature
but by whatever name it rs called it
is all the the same, it is the common
streak an Inheritance that comes
down the ages and is characterized in
each individual
Rich and poor alike are born with
common streak, the better the
breeding plus education and natural
goodness and refinement, the COM
mon streak is eliminated or 1essened.
1t is up to the individual to rid
himself of this baser commodity in
his makeup and the more success
full he is the nearer he becomes to
being what the good Lord evident
ly intended him to be.
If one is impolite it is his common
streak asserting itself; if one is per-
petually grouchy, inconsiderate of
the feelings of others; is intolerant,
it is the common streak
Greed, envy, hatred, jealousy, the
disposition to quarrel is the common
streak. Every lie told is a yielding
to the common streak. The yielding
to temptations that one knows are
both immoral and injurious to health
and happiness are evidences of the |
common streak.
The courage of one, the fineness of |
one, is in proportion to his or her
ability to overcome this common
streak. Strength of character
is emphasized in the ability and de-
one shows to discourage
his weakness, to fight it off and grad I
Tally bring refinement to his soul by
a strength of character.
Literature and laws are written

is and ways of thinking and the !

New YOrk.-Nargaiet Holland is

ing that she found the burial plot she
had reserved for her family already
tenanted. She purchased a plot in
Calvary cemetery in 1883, she says,
and in 1895 buried her first husband
there. After his death she left the
deeds with Bailey for safekeeping, and
she alleges he represented himself to
be the owner of the plot and had three
persons buried there between 1919 and
1921
When the second husband, Andrew

self without a place to bury him. Her

SINKING INTO THE sen?
Scientists Say Disturbances on
Ocean Bottom Is Responsible.

New York.=Although only the fishes
are near enough to see just what is
happening, great doings are reported
from the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.
The ocean floor is being thrown up
into immense hills or mountains in
some places, while in other places it
is being depressed into deep basins.
That accounts, in the opinion of scien-
lists, for several earthquakes in mid
ocean, as reported by captains who re-
Gently crossed the Atlantic, for tremors
along the American coast and for the

Sey coast line.
Shocks felt along the Jersey coast

explosions were explained by Walcott
Day, director of the weather bureau

the sliding of the ocean bed.
His opinion is concurred in by DR..

tMEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS,
THANKSGIVING

Once again, with the coming OF
Thanksgiving day, the American peo-
pie find themselves with abundant
reason for thankfulness. The ap-
preaching close of the year finds
them with bountiful harvest garn-
cred and the nation at peace within
itself and with the rest of the world,
a condition which is very likely to
continue for years to come. Our fav-
ors at the hands of Almighty God
have been so many that it is indeed
an ungrateful man who will not ac-
knowledge them, and give some
thought to the power which has
vouchsafed these many blessings.
Thanksgiving Day is purely an
American institution, having its in
ception in the hearts of the Pilgrims
at the close of the harvest season in
1921. 1t became national in 1868,
when President Lincoln named the
last Thursday in November as a day
of thanksgiving to God for His Man
fold blessings. 1t is a day of family
gatherings and of religious services,
and it's meaning is most deeply ap-
preciated by those who assemble I'M
der the home roof for the day, as the
home is the great fundamental in
stitution of the nation, and should be
the greatest cause for thanksgiving
on the part of Americas millions. 1t
is day when those who may be
growing a little careless of the home
may well give deep thought to what
the home and the home environment
means to the nation, as a nation, and
to the individual; a day when home
ties, If they show signs of weakening,
should be strengthened, and when we
should show appreciation of those
around us, as well as appreciation of
the Supreme Being who is the author
of our lives and of every comfort
which we enjoy. We may we'll give
expression to our appreciation of our
own blessings, by making sure that, |
On Thanksgiving Day, no one in our
is suffering without sym
pathy, or is in need of the necessities
of life
