Escapes Fatal Accident

It was only by the meerest chance
that q fatal accident was averted
Monday afternoon when two high
school boys attempted to jump the
plow of the Somerset Traction Com
pany. The pillow came along just as
chapel let out and two boys. thinking
to steal a ride. made a jump for it..
One of the boys landed on the run
ming board. The other failed to make
it and hung head downward by his
knees over a rod which supports the
winging device. Reuben Perry, who
was driving the pillow. happened to
glance back. and seeing the boy. put
on the emergency. brake. Had not
the rail been partially cleared by an
earlier passage of the plow the young
man would probably have been badly
crushed. AS it was. he escaped with
nothing but a bad scare.

THE "oLD HOME" LURE

Even the President Of the United
States is not immune from that lure
which draws the bruised feet of the
vanderer back from the ways of
the world to the little grass-grown
COW path leading up the meadow be-
hind the "old home" From the cit
les, from public office, from high
honors and wealth, from foreign
climes, the American, ever migra-
tory, turns at last to the place of
his birth
Announcement has recently been
made that President Harding has
purchased the "old home farm"
where he was born and where he
lived as a barefoot boy. There is
q lot of good. wholesome sentiment
In that. And the COMMISSIONERS in al
most any cemetery will testify to the
popularity of the move which brings
n man to his final resting place
where he knew his first rest
But most of us return too late
only to sleep the last long sleep.
How much better to go back early
enough to enjoy the boyhood mem
cries, and to sit in "slippered ease"
among the household gods we knew
at first Many, Of course. can not
do this. Some, perhaps, do not
want to. Their niche has been SO
firmly fixed elsewhere, or they left
their birthplace at such an early age
that the appeal is dimmed or lost.
Mr.. Harding, however, is a typical
American; typical in this as in many
other respects. Undoubtedly when
his political sun is set, he will re-
turn to the old home to spend the
twilight of his days. That "little
window where the sun came peep
ing through at morn, immortalized
be his bedroom again. He will know,
be his bedroam again. He will know,
as Briggs SO often portrays it. the
days of Real Sport" among the
Lares and Penates of his boyhood.

A STORMY CHURCH
PETREL

Tho Reverend Percy Stickney
Grant, rector Of the Church of the
Ascension in New York, seems con-
genitally unable to keep out of the
public prints long enough to let the
Episcopal Church stop seething. No
sooner has one issue occasioned by
his remarks subsidized than another
issue arises, and the boiling over
process is repeated.
Doctor Grant is a ~"modernist" in
the church. He has a great personal
following, and there a be no
shadow of a doubt but that he is
one Of the ablest thinkers and
speakers in the church today. But
he has the faculty Of forever rails
ing questions not easily answered
in the tenets and canons Of his de-
nomination; or, for that matter, not
so easily answered in terms of ev-
ery-day life. The consequence is
that he creates innumerable discus
sions, some dissensions, and plenty
of diversion. Going to the church
Of the Ascension in New York has
