FOR YOUR
AMUSEMENT
WHAT WAS THE COLOR OF
PAUL REVERE'S HORSE?

America doesn't know the color of
its best known horse, the one ridden
by Paul Revere when he made his IA
nous ride to Lexington and Concord
to warn the Colonists.
Because of such inaccuracy in his
torical records the motion picture in
dustry has taken steps for the foun-
dation of an Independent historical
research bureau, under the direction
of Will H. Hays.
Historians have told the main
events, but nowhere is there any au-
thentic record of exactly how things
looked. For instance, when D. w.
Griffith wanted to know what sort of
wagons were used with the northern
armies during the Revolutionary War
not a single historical record describ-
ed them.
AS the motion picture industry is
planning to make great number of
historical films with absolutely accu-
rate details, the pictorial vagueness
of the histories must be corrected,
and it is for this purpose that the
producers will jointly subscribe for
the research bureau.
Griffith already has spent hundreds
of dollars seeking to learn the color
of Paul Revere's horse for the scenes
in his next production, America" ="
Mr.. Edwin B. Worthen, president of
the Lexington Historical Society, de-
clares there is no available record,
although it is known the horse was
not white as pictured in Illustrations.
Grifiths research department is now
conducting search through personal
correspondence of that period.

Blushing is sign of a self-con-

expression of sensitive regard for
the opinions of others. Some girls
can't blush. Idiots and habitual Grim

PASSING OF AN ANCIENT IN

The quill pen has fought its las:
battle against the steel and fountain
pen-and lost. Philip Cooper of Lon

many as three million quill pens at a
time to the Indian government, an
nounces they've quit making quilts
The Southwark County Court in Eng

quill pens. The court chung to them
as matter of sentiment link with
the olden days. But even this court
recently discontinued quilts and adopt

and ancient industry, mighty in it's
day.
Such quill pens as will be made in
the future will be the decorative kind
that are parked in a jar of birdshot
on milady's writing desk. Philip Coop

reason for going out Of the quill man

is that he no longer can find a work
man who knows the art of making
them. The craftsmanship involved in
making quilts was intricate and re
CURED a skill found in few trades.
The art was handed down from father
to son. AS with beating out gold Leaf,
it was said that quill pen maker
was born not made.
The quill pen served many genera

of the fate of all manmade devices.

DON'T GIVE CHILDREN LONG
NAMES

Parents should not give their chill
dren long names. If a child is named
Epaphroditus Bartholomew Holcombe
Smith, Junior, and if he survives
such an appellatioh, he will prob
ably lose what will amount to three
years of his life in writing his full
name on those frequent occasions
when it becomes necessary. Further
more, parents should give a daughter
only one name; then when she mar
ries, she can preserve the family
name between her Christian and her
husbands last name. When | was a
boy, knew a girl named May Day.
Such a name closely approaches per-
lection; think of the time saved in
writing cheques and on other Occa-
sions! 1t is also hard on a child to
give it a name that few can either
pronounce or spell; the victim has to
spend a large slice of his life answer
ing questions and making explana-
tions. A name is an individuals only
label; the only thing standing be-
tween him and absolute oblivion. Chill
dren are at the mercy of their par
ents in this as in so many other ways.

CALIFORNIA AND THE EAST

William Allen White has written
about California and Emporia We
wonder if what he says about Emporia
does not at least partly apply to Bara-
boo? Listen to the Kansas editor:
California seems to be the half
way house to Heaven. Just before
a ran dies he go s to California.
So California enthusiasts in En-
poria are year by year becoming
larger minority Like all minorities
they are noisy and annoying to an
alarming degree. Every season some
member of another family which has
been for 10 or 20 or 80 years pillar
of the town, takes trip to the state
of sunshine, Moonshine and under
taking establishments. The family
falls so in love with the company
climate the first two days of the visit
that they ignore the fleas and damp,
chilly evenings that follow. They
come home efferv escing with enthus
iasm and give the rest of the family
no peace. Several months later a
short item will appear in the paper
to the effect that Mr.. and Mrs. Will
B. Sorry have gone to California for
an extended visit with view to per-
manent location.
When the Sorrys once get out
to California they are ashamed t.
come back, and the only thing they
can do is write home pages of Cali
fornia propaganda and urge their
friends to come out to the land o.
Christmas roses and the leaping flea,
and die within walking distance of the
home of Douglas Fairbanks, and
Americas Sweetheart.
Every summer that saddest of En-,
poria Observation-Disclosures picnic
in California-gets larger and every
winter more people move out to make
it larger the next year, and so it is
going on indefinitely until Emporia
is depopulated unless the townspeo
pie come to their senses and realize
that some must stay here so that their
grandparents attended the pening OF
grandparents attended the opening Of
the old Broadview hotel, way back
when the town was first beginning tc
boom. Emporia must hold her OWL
identity. Why not die in Emporia? Il
is an easy jump to Heaven. The
halfway house out on the Coast has 8
Heavenly climate. But the society is
better here without so many liars.
Up to the loyal Emporians and
