Romances of thew ant Ads
By MRS LEROY BOUGHNER

A Want AID is a "little
salesman" but sometimes
its books show bigger and
more astounding orders
than many a bigger sales
mans.
The same instinct that
prompted one young couple
in this Romance to insert
an ad under USED Auto
mobiles for Sale" in the
classified columns of The
Age-Herald prompted an
other to watch that column
carefully.
It was the universal in
stinct ITO get ahead" and,
curiously enough, the same
little Want AID furthered
that instinct for both.
The Days enjoyed their
automobile - a good make
of the "chummy" type. But
they soon realized that its
cost was out of proportion
to their income and that
they LOeren't getting
ahead"
So when they were shown
a little home far enough out
of the city's center to be de-
sirable and yet not expen-
sive, they knew they wanted
it more than their automo-
bile. Some day they might
have both. If they could
sell the car, they could take
it and make their first pay
ment.
Frank Dunlap wanted an
automobile for business
reasons. He was a sales
man for a wholesale gro
Gerry house. With a car he
could cover his territory
more easily, conveniently
and thoroughly in summer,
spring and fall. Besides,
it would be healthier than
riding in stuffy trains. His
firm was conservative and

Byron Dozier, 4. r. Calhoun and b. T..
Brown, considering the argument, found
that there was so much of merit and
conclusive evidence in support of each
side, and inasmuch as the matter Of
race purity and welfare of the people Of
the United States both were INSOFAR
ably linked to the question, decided that
each aspect of the case was too i'm
portant TO endow one over the other
as having major importance, and SO
announced. This decision seemed to
meet the approval Of the council.
Comittee arrangements for the re-
ception to the national board of of

APRIL RICH IN
MASONIC LORE
AND HISTORY

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
The outstanding Masonic anniversary
in the month of April is the death of
Albert Pike which will be commence
rated on April 2 by Masonic lodges
throughout the world.
Albert Pike was the greatest Ma
sonic scholar of history and his writ
ings constitute the most comprehen-
sive and authoritative Interpretation
of Masonic symbolism and tradition.
His Morals of Dogma" is a monu-
mental work, being a compendium of
the religious PHILOSOPHERS of the ages.
The death of Benjamin Franklin,
one-time grand master of Masons of
Pennsylvania, will be commemorated on
the seventeenth of April. His death oc-
CURED in 1900. Benjamin Franklin be-
came a member of st. Johns Masonic
Lodge, Philadelphia, in the year 1870.
In 1874 he was elected grand master
of Masons of Pennsylvania; from 1875
to 1913 served as secretary of st.
Johns Lodge; in 1749 was Provincial
Grand Master.
Mark Twain died on April 81, 1910.
He was a member of Polar Star Ma
sonic Lodge No. 70, st. Louis.
Masons of many states will remem-
Der the birth of General Lew Wallace,
who was born on April 10, 1927. His
exploits on the battlefields of the Civil
war, his famous novel, Ben Hur," and
his record as governor of New Mexico,
won for him splendid laurels in the
fields of military achievement, litera-
ture and craftsmanship.
Two living Masons, whose birthdays
will be happily remembered, are Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, whose ninetieth birth
day will be celebrated on April %. AS
railway executive, party leader, and
wit he will be long remembered but his
claim to undying fame will undoubt-
edly rest upon his reputation as an
after dinner speaker and raconteur.
On the same day Edwin Markham,
the famous poet, will celebrate his sew
enty-second birthday. His poems. ~The
Man With the Hoe" Lincoln" and
others, rank him among the greatest
poets of the present time.
Another Mason who has won fame
in a different field of endeavor and
whose birthday will be remembered by
Masonic lodges is Reginald de Koven,
who was born April 8, 1861. His
operas, like robin Hood" set all
America singing and made him de-
servedly popular.
Masonry's connection with the early
events of the nations history is again
emphasized in the person of Roger
Sherman, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, who was
born April 10. 1921.
