VITAL QUESTIONS
DISCUSSED BY
LEADING EDITORS
OF THE COUNTRY
READY FOR ANOTHER STRIKE
OF THE COUNTR'

The National Coal association has
addressed letter to the U. s. coal
commission imploring it to investigate
the effect on production and the
price of coal to consumer "of the
mine-labor in the United States" At
the same time the leaders of the mine
labor organizations are asking the
commission to investigate the effect
of the absentee mine owner system
upon the production and cost of coal
If the commission hands down an
opinion that will be satisfactory to
both sides of the mining controversy
it will be displaying wisdom far be-
yond any present expectation. The
miners and operators seem to be pre-
pairing to celebrate their recent peace
without victory agreement by intro
ducing the nation to another series
of costly lockouts and strikes next
season. If this calamity comes to
pass both sides TO the conflict will find
another brand of public sentiment on
tap next summer. 1t will not be
disposed to put up with the distresses
that were inflicted upon the public
in the recent conflict. One such
strike in generation is enough

MARSHAL FOCH LAUDED AT
VETERANS DINNER
3 VETERANS COLUMN"

Marshal Foch was presented as a
model for men of the American Legion
to follow by American Ambassador
Myron T, Herrick at recent dinner
of the Paris Legion post.
IF you do, you will never go astray
from the field Of public duty and per-
sonal sacrifice so nobly set forth IN the
preamble of your constitution, said
the Ambassador. II know the fine
things the Legion has set out to ac-
complish. know how much you have
achieved already in difficult days.
When you arrive at unmarked cross
roads, and doubt arises as to the right
direction to take, ask yourself which
path Marshal Foch would follow, and
the answer will clear your doubts or
strengthen your decision"
Foch was present at the dinner and
dance.

VETERANS NOT FORGOTTEN

Cincinnati has not forgotten her
veterans of the World War. In a
campaign conducted by teams of lead
ing citizens, aided by members of the
American Legion and of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World War,
fund of S250,000 for the purchase
of two clubhouses and sixty-acre
summer camp for the use of the city's
former soldiers has been raised. One
of the clubhouses is now occupied by
the Bentley post of the Legion and the
second clubhouse will be erected on
Walnut Hills for the use of the 1900
disabled veterans of Cincinnati. The
camp will be established at Avoca
Park on the Little Miami River. The
camp has been used the last three
years as a summer home FOR disabled
soldiers.

This is seen in President Harding's

es. Devoid of hifalutin phrases, "fine

LIVED WITHOUT PRAISE, BUT
DIED LIKE A HERO

HE played four years on the scrubs
he never quit"
The homely tribute of the alumni
of Northwestern University, Evans
ton, H., was added to the long list of
military citations on the bronze men,
orial tablet dedicated today in memory
of Capt David Thomas Hanson.
Capt. Hanson, graduate in medi-
cine of the university, was killed in
action at st, Etienne on Oct 8, 1918.
He had always lived his life with
out applause" President Walter Dill
Scott of Northwestern said, in ac-
cepting the memorial tablet in the
name of the university. 1t was
affixed to a ten-ton boulder placed on
the campus.
Turnout his college life, Hanson
was devotee of football, but never
''made" the varsity team. He rated
B-plus in his classes and never APP
peared in prize list and never won a
letter.
"He played four years on the scrub
team without ever hearing the cheer
leader call his name. But when his
time came he knew how to die like a
hero"
A. Barthelmy, French consul, laid
on the stone the croix de guerre and
numerous citations from French army
officers, in which the circumstances Of
Captain Hanson's death were given.
He had rushed to the aid of a wound
ed infantryman when a shell burst
over him.

Some Churches
Are Waking Up

The National Publicity Conference
of the Chicago Church Federation
which met October 81, is reported to
have been attended by over 400 minis
tiers. In the report they have pub
iished they show a discernment that
is gratifying 1t would be well for
other ministers to act upon their
recommendations. Some of them are
as follows:
THE most effective way to reach
the crowd and interest them in the
church is through the daily news
papers.
"The newspaper welcomes news, bug
is shy on propaganda.
"The newspaper is more interested
in what you do than in what you say,
especially if you do something to help
another person or the community as
whole.
"1t pays to serve the newspaper
even at ones inconvenience. One
minister said he postponed funeral
and wedding to furnish an inter
view requested by his daily paper.
"Get on good terms with the news
paper by occasionally furnishing news
which does not especially concern you
or your particular church.
"You can create news. Preach on
matters current in the press. The
Salvation Army painted flowers on
beer mugs, which were popular and
were pictured in the press.
Get the facts in correct detail TO
the newspaper office and trust the
editor to give it the right form.
at pays in dollars to advertise
One metropolitan church increased its
loose collections to $4,000 in two
years, certain other smaller churches
showing a proportionate increase.
Advertising lifts the standard OF
preaching and service in order to
make good and come up to advertis-
ing
Magazines spend large sums in
taking advertisements in the daily
newspapers. 1t pays or they would
not do it.
advertising must be consecutive,
1t minister does not know how to
advertise. let him learn how or let
him get the help Of an advertising
man.
Don't expect the newspaper to
take the trouble which belongs to
you.
Write or, better, typewrite your
news, giving proper initials and loca-
tons, and above all, be on time"

SUPERFICIAL SENTIMENTALITY
Gin Other Words Tommy-rot,
Twaddle and BoshD

When motion pictures were first
introduced, they were merely a cheap
novelty. In the words of a recent
writer in Golfers Weekly, "People
watched them because they showed
MOTION with such interest, doubt
less, as that Of kitten with crawl
ing beetle. The fellows photograph
ed in the darn thing MOVED. They
seemed alive!"

novelty anything that'll get 'en1
inn"
And that is why so many disgust
ingly stupid films are being shown
But people Of average intelligence
are getting tired of them That is
why last year showed decrease in
moving picture receipts . of several
million dollars.
People no longer are attracted by
the novelty of photographs showing
people moving about they are be-
ginning to demand of the screen the
same intelligence that is demanded OF
the stage.
Because these cheap pictures repre-
sent the infancy of the screen, they
accordingly appeal to the undeveloped
minds of children. AND THAT is
THE ALARMING THING ABOUT
VICIOUS MOVIES. Intelligent adj
ults are not attracted by "blood and
thunder" Touchdown and drag-out'
pictures. BUT THE CHILDREN
ARE Consequently several millions
of children thruout the United States
go daily TO see these vicious pictures
And their minds and characters arc
being corrupted accordingly.

some Of their bad conduct can be
traced directly TO this vicious inHu-

"RoBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

There are, according to latest re-
ports, more than one hundred and
thirty-five millions Of dollars in the
II. s. Postal Savings Deposits These
deposits have grown amazingly during
the last few years-especially since
the beginning of the war when the
appeal was made for citizens to help
the government war expense in this
way.
The primary appeal, however, that
is made by the government for people
to deposit their savings in the Postal
Savings Department, is that it is the
safest saving method in the world
The argument is also advertise eX-
tensively that while your money is in
safe keeping, you will be paid 2 per
cent interest on it.
But this is u Misrepresentation
While the government tells you that
this is the safest method of saving
your money, they turn right around
and farm out" your money to nation
al banks, AND RECEIVE FROM THE
BANKS 3 per cent INTEREST ON
YOUR MONEY.
Also while the government claims
TO pay you per cent ON your depos-
its, they do not actually pay that at
all--beeause the interest is only com
puted once each year. In other words
if you deposit your savings in the
Postal Savings Department and leave
it there 364 days, Cor just one day less
than full year, you do not get any
interest at all Because the Postal
Savings Department computes inter
est once a year.
But on the other hand, they take
your money and re-deposit it in the
national banks and the government
receives 3 per cent on it, and the in
terest is computed EVERY THREE
MONTHS. So that the government
makes clear per cent on your mon
ey, and do not pay you anything on it
unless you leave it in the Postal Saw
ings Department full year.
IN THIS WAY, IN 1927, THE
GOVERNMENT MADE MORE
THAN TWO AND A HALF MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE
POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS,

The above title headed an article in
the December 16 issue of the Golfers
Weekly which reported an inyestiga-
ton made by representative of that
magazine which showed that while
Uncle Sam is claiming to help poor
people save their money, these poor
people are actually playing into the

MANY AND DELICIOUS ARE THE
WAYS TO. COOK PUMPKIN AND
SQUASH

Some people think there is only one
use for pumpkin, and that is pie.
This is the most common way of
preparing it. but, says Miss Marie
Doerman, assistant home demonstra-
ton agent for Bergen County, have
you ever thought of serving pumpkin
eustard? This is how you make it:
IL cups steamed or strained pump
kin, Il teaspoonful salt, two-thirds cup
brown sugar, l teaspoon cinnamon,
2 eggs, 2 cups milk.
Mix the ingredients in the order
given and bake in a moderate oven
until a silver knife inserted in the
custard comes out clean. A marsh
mallow may be placed on top of each
cup and slightly Drowned in the oven.
Since it does require little extra
time to cut up and cook a pumpkin,
why not do two at the same time and
can the extra quarts, to be used when
ever needed? Boil down the pumpkin
until quite dry then put in sterilized
jars and seal,
Squash is used principally as vege-
table, though it can be substituted for
the pumpkin in the above recipe
Baked squash is delicious, and is easily
prepared, as the .peeling does not have
to be removed. The only prepare
ton it requires is to be cut up in con-
venient pieces for serving and baked
until tender.
Steaming is better way of cooking
squash than boiling, as the flavor is
better, there is no loss of mineral
content and it is less watery. Seal
ioped squash is well liked dish made
as follows:
4 cups steamed or mashed SQUASH,
eggs (beaten light. salt, pepper.
cup milk, tablespoon melted but
ter. Mix all well and turn into a
CREASED baking dish. Sprinkle with
bread crumbs and bits of butter and
bake until set.

LEGION ASSAILS SECRETARY
MELLON

Defending the American Legion's
program for the five-year exclusion of
migration, the Hoosier Legionaire,
published by the Indiana department
Of the legion, criticises Andrew Mel
lon, United States Secretary of the
Treasury, for his appeal for cheap la
Dor to aid the steel interests. The
Hoosier Legionaire says editorially:
Not content with attempting to bloc
each move of the American Legion to
obtain adjusted compensation, Secre-
tary Mellon now seeks to obstruct the
Legion's program for restriction of
immigration. Mr.. Mellon declared
that certain classes of labor essential
to certain American industries should
be exempted from exclusion. 1t is
interesting to note that the classes
Mr.. Mellon would allow to come in are
essential TO the steel interests and the
eighty on more allied corporations of
which he is one of the chief stockhold-
ers. A total exclusion law would
deprive Mr.. Mellon of some of his
cheap alien labor.
Andrew Mellon has been pictured as
man of immense wealth who is
periodically sacrificing his time in the
Presidents cabinet at u mere pitance.
The fact is that his position as Sec
rotary of the Treasury is worth more
in dollars and cents to the privileged
interests, of which Mellon in one, than
any other Office he could fill. His
latest attack on the proposal for a
tive-year total exclusion of immigrants
is prompted by the same personal
selfishness that characterized his at
tack on adjusted compensation and his
opposition to the surtax and excess
profits tax.

TO DRESS WELL CHEAPLY,

She boarded the ferryboat just
ahead of me-short and plump and all
dressed up. Shoes with brown vamps
and light tops; a purple wool skirt
showing about inches below tan
colored coat; grey gloves and henna
velvet hat faced with gold brocade.
| turned to see just how she looked
this woman who evidently had consid-
cred her color scheme not at all and
beheld broad, smiling face and three
double chins.
1t did not bother her probably
never would, for she most likely be-
longed to the group of women who are
not sensitive to color, as many others
are not sensitive to music. But not
all of us-dare try to produce harmony
in music--we know our limitations;
with color we take more liberties al
though discords in color hurt many of
US as cruelty as discords in music hurt
others.
Putting aside the question of be-
comingness of colors, which is prob
lem in itself, says Mrs. Catherine
Griebel, clothing specialist of the State
Agricultural College, why not con-
slider color in clothes. One may al
ways wear black-or navy blue-per-
haps brown. Take any one of these
and build your wardrobe around it.
Navy blue is universally becoming
and when you buy top coat or hat
or a blouse or anything, even to a
ribbon to wear around neck, why not
remember that navy blue is to be the
guide to your wardrobefor 1923 and
purchase accordingly. Don't be
tempted with brown coat--get black
or taupe. Think of yourself as a
design and consider every part of your
costume is definite part of the de-
sign. A bit of orange ribbon will
add bit of joy to your frock but
then watch out for your earrings or
other jewelry. Or perhaps you will
decide on jade beads and jade earrings
but then do not wear orange in your
hat.
1t is just a question of little
thought but it is worth it to you and
to all who behold you.

PREDICTS MORE DISABLED
VETERANS

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
high commissioner of baseball, in a
recent address at Louisville, KY, pre-
dicted that within five years many
supposedly able bodied veterans of the
world war will begin TO falter because
of exposure and shock suffered by
them in the French trenches.
