the young people of the state a study
of history, especially of the history of
the War Between the States, again
offers gold medal to the student
writing the best essay on the subject
assigned, which is Jefferson Davis"
Mr. Bennett urged the students to
compete in this contest. 1t seems this
subject is especially interesting since
the Jefferson Davis Highway is so
much in the public eye now and Fitz-
gerald has such an important place
in it.

along to be amused while aboard ship
at the expense of Papa or Mama's
pleasure. That is not so nowadays,
however, for parents can now sail for
Europe with their offspring, knowing
that special care will be taken of the
kiddies on ship board in every way.
Consequently on the vessels of the
United States Lines. the number of
children passengers is steadily increas-
ing.
Stewards and stewardesses aboard
these liners are especially detailed to
look out for the wants of the young
tiers and take great pleasure in their
work.
The America has special child
ren's playroom, where games of every
description are played, under the di-
rection of steward who is an artist
in amusing children of every age. Spe-
, cial dances are being held there every
trip with the ships orchestra in at
tendance.
Naturally with the children being
amused in this manner their parents
are able to enjoy the voyage to the
fullest. 1t is not likely. however that
they get any more pleasure out of it
than the kiddies. who, back home
/ again. have something to talk about
for months to come.

Lynn, in satisfying the palates and sea-
going appetites of his young charges,
is vast. 1t is very i'll child indeed
who misses meal while aboard that
| vessel.
Lynn always has at least one special
dinner party every trip and if some
youngster is so fortunate as to have a
birthday while at sea, he or she is the
guest of honor.
For these occasions the dining room
is specially decorated Souveirs are
at every plate and particularly ap-
pealing dinner is served, with menu
cards bearing the name of the host or
hostess and those of the juvenile
guests. These are always highly
treasured by the youngsters.
Deserts and pastries are made in
odd molds which make them really too
good to be eaten--though they always
are and the affair takes a prominent
place in each child's mind as some
thing to be always remembered.
| 1t is small wonder that Lynn is re-
garded as cross between Santa Claus
ad the king of entertainers by the
children after they have dined upon
the goodies he provides in a room re-
sembling fairyland.

The progress made in the trades
union movement during the past twen-
ty years is very remarkable. At the
beginning of the century it may be
said to have been in it's infancy, for In
many countries all attempts at COM
bination among workers were pro-
hibited by law. But that opposition
was overcome and year by year, and
especially since the war, the movement
has advanced by leaps AMI bounds In
1922 the total membership of the

to something over 100000.

DOD6e BROTHERS ANNOUNCE
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Dodge Brothers have not
simply brought out a COM
plete new line of motor
cars. They have done
something infinitely wiser
and better than that.
They have brought new
beauty, new riding ease
and new mechanical per-
fection to the product on
which their reputation as
builders has been founded.
They have built a better
and a more desirable line
of motor cars-yet basic
ally and fundamentally
the identity of their pro-
duct remains the same.
The same sturdy engine is
under the hood; the same
dependable chassis, i'm
proved in numberless de-
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs-now
underslung = have been
materially heightened. The
wheelbase, too, is longer,
and the combined result is
a notable Improvement in
riding qualities.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

Bodies of all types have
been designed to give i'm
proved appearance, and
greater comfort. Lower,
longer, with deeper seats
and more leg room, the
lines of these new cars are
low-swung and graceful
the interiors are comfort
able and roomy.
New head lamps and fen
ders, especially designed
by Dodge Brothers to con
form with the general

running boards-unusual-
ly wide doors-combina-
tion stop signal and tail
lamp-and instruments at
tractively grouped on rails
ed panel-are a few of the
numerous body innova-
tions common to all types.
Combining these features
with important mechani-
cal improvements too nu-
merous and technical to
enumerate here, it is not
extravagant to predict a
reception for these cars
unprecedented in automo-
tive annals.

NEW YORK-The open season
for surplus weight is on. Thirty
thousand citizens who have been
taking their daily dozen in the front
parlor will soon be performing their
sti etching and bending exercises
out of doors.
They will pefrom them at the
behest of Uncle Sam at 81 different
military camps provided for the pur-
pose and between times they will
learn to fall in" shoulder arms, eat
beans and assimilate various other
matters of routine army life.
It's all part of the scheme which
the War Department thought out for
giving young men between the ages
of II and "a a summer outing and a
little taste of army discipline at the
same time.
If you're an insurance salesman or
a shoe clerk or somebody's private
secretary and think you'd enjoy a
months sleeping out in the OF IN
with a little rifle practice thrown IN,
Just tell the War Department about
it. They'll look after all expenses
feed you, drill you, play a nice musi-
cal bugle for you to get up to in the
morning and guarantee to make you
a better citizen in the bargain.
The camps, started in 1921, are
meeting with steadily increasing
popularity according to Nathan I'll.

KEYPORT NOW WORKING ON
JTNEY BUS ORDINANCE

KEYPORT, June 22:-Considera-
BILE business which must be transact
ed by the mayor and council is the
cause OF several extra adjourned
meetings which have been called
lately. On Wednesday evening an
adjourned meeting of the mayor and
council was called to form a jitney
ordinance. Owing to the positive
statement of Superintendent William
III. Hitchcock that the trolley cars
would cease operation here in the
very near future, the council deemed
ii advisable to make some plan for
the transporting of those who wish
to travel, particularly to Matawan
station.
AS long as the trolley\s system re-
NAMED the board would not grant
n jitney owner the privilege of
operating here. However, now that
the cars will not be operating much
longer it has been necessary to draw
UP a jitney ordinance in accordance
with the ordinances of other Dor
oughs and townships through which
the buses wifi pass.
The regular meeting Of the council
will be held on Monday evening and
another adjourned meeting will be
held next Wednesday evening.

Boys Work Program is Told
of at Convention of Rotary
International

ST. LOUIS, June 22:-Conserv-
ing the nations greatest natural re-
source-the boy-to the end that he
will grow up with the idea hat "he
profits most who serves best" is the
idea underlying the boys work of
Rotary International as outlined by
Chairman Everett Hill of the Inter-
national Boys Work Committee, dur
ing session of the Rotary Interna-
tional Convention here.
Rotarian Frank d. SlutZ of Day
ton, Ohio, and Eddie Guest, the
newspaper-poet, of Detroit, also
spoke.
The supreme challenge of each
generation is the next generation,
Mr.. Slutz told the convention. The
supreme challenge of Rotary-an
organization of mems the boys,
he said.
Boys are history and civilization
at the source" Mr.. Slutz continued.
"A fraction of the time spent upon
the influencing of adults-of men
If spent upon boys will establish
boys, their Royalties and their ideals.
Every consideration of business eff
ficiency demands that Rotary train
boys in the new ideals.
Rotary a teach the boys of the
world hat service must be above
self, if the game of living is to be
played in a mans way. With service
above self, public responsibility will
be placed before business smugness
and satisfaction. Wealth will be re-
garded as an opportunity for SER
vice.
The boys Ear be taught that hui
man personality is the most sacred
creation of the universe. Not prop
erty, but persons must be first in the
eyes of the law.
Truth must be honored above
opinion. Let every man have his
opinion where the facts cannot be
obtained. Let every man be toler-
ant of every mans opinion. Let
every man label his opinion as an
opinion and not as a truth. Men
can understand n another in terms
of truth. They fight each other over
opinions.
1.-The boys can be taught how to
build a world of peace. Nobody but
boys a ever do this.
How can we do these things?
By example! Every Rotarian must
believe and practice these things
himself; by cooperation with the or
g%anization now existing for boys; by
arranging international conventions
of boys and by a Rotary school for
leadership"
