SILENCE is GOLDEN

President Coolidge exhibited a rare
trait in political campaigns by hold
ing his tongue. Neither opponents or
press could secure from him an ex-
PLANTATION of anything that he made
up his mind not to explain. His pol
icy was successful, and that is the on
ly practical test for political purpos-
es.
We hope his example will be copied
by other candidates in future races.
We know of nothing that politics
needs less of than talk This is not
to discredit able, courageous cam
paigners, who express their views,
bedause that is proper. Neyerthe-
less, the signal triumph of the policy
of the president will emphasize the
value of silence in politics.

SHEEP EXHIBIT SHOWS
STRIKING CONTRASTS

An exhibit on sheep raising and
management under preparation by
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for display
at the International Livestock Ex-
position in Chicago is expected by
those in charge to attract wide in
terest among sheep raisers.
The exhibit contrasts choice and
common lambs and shows methods
by which each is produced. Live
animals and likenesses of correspond
ing carcasses illustrate the adyant-
ages of proper sheep management.
The exhibit shows also that the
common lamb yielded only 43 per cent
of dressed carcass while the choice
lamb had a dressing percentage of
So per cent. The common lamb, the
exhibit explains, was sired by a
scrub ram and was probably infested
with stomach worms. Inferior
breeding and infestation with para
sites are important causes of infer
Tor stock and low returns.

washington Herald, DEM

Washington Herald, Dem.)
To an unprecedented degree this is
personal triumph and not party
triumph. The President has, in most
States, run ahead of his ticket, lead
ing the Republican candidates for
Congress or for State and local of
fees. President Coolidge's cautious,
conservative character has made an
irresistible appeal to the American
people in this conservative period of
thir history. They have had enough
of uproar, turmoil and change They
want no chance Of mistakes being
made. They feel that conservative
policies will enable business to restore
the normal flow of prosperity.

AS a result of an analysis of the
clothing problem of farm women in
Ohio, made in 80 counties by extern
sion workers, clothing selection and
construction have been emphasized,
especially during the past year.
Lack of ready money and distance
from convenient shopping centers
makes it imperative for farm wonl-
en- to construct great many Of the
garments worm by members Of her
family. Often she has had no pre-
vious training whatever in sewing,
and in any case the amount of time
she can give to this work is usually
very limited Time-saving methods
and knowledge of how to make and
use a simple well-fitted pattern are
highly essential.
Sixty-eight demonstrations have
been given in % counties where there
is no home demonstration agent, states
report received by the United States
Department of Agriculture. Special
lists trained 337 township leaders, who
have reached over 3,4o0 Individual
women. In the 3 counties having
nome-demonstration agents 1900 wo-
men have been reached. Millinery
wo@ interested a great many women
who benefited not only through MAX
ing about 200 hats at the demonstfa-
ton meetings but also by learning the
principles Of hat making and hat Sc
lection, which can be applied to other
hats they may need in the future
Over 700 dress forms were also made
by members.

A DOUBLE TRIUMPH
IN. Y. Herald Tribune)

The stupendous victory is in one
aspect triumph for man. 1t de-
clares a nations faith in great citi-
zen, a great American, who by SIM
plicity, by honor, by courage has
gained the affection and admiration
of his countrymen. 1t is not less a
triumph for the Nation, for those
principles of Americanism by loyalty
TIC which this country has survived
the tempests of not far from a CEN
fury and half.
The chief struggle of the campaign
lay between the Republican Party and
the Socialists Party masquerading I'M
der the stolen title of the Progress
ives and led by pretended Republi-
can. The debate centered about three
proposals-the effort to overturn the
Supreme Court in favor of every
passing Congressional majority, the
demand for government ownership
and operation of railroads in the
spirit Of communism and the surren-
der of all that America fought for in
the great war to her enemies therein
Upon these issues the verdist has
been unmistakable. The people oil

WHAT THE BALLOTS MEAN
= Better Schools League
(Phila. Public Ledger

(Phlla. Public Ledger
AS plainly as ballots can reject,
this Nation has rejected the bogus
liberalism of Democracy and rebuk-
ed the straddlings and evasions of
that party. The radicalism of La
Toilette and the move to set up a
powerful and dangerous class party
in the United States have been re-
pudiated
Some of the lessons are so plain
they can not be mistaken. The ver-
dict is an indorsment of Calvin Cool
idge and the policies of his Admin
istration. 1t is an approval of the
program he charted in his first mes
sage to Congress in December, 1923.
He declared then against the soldier
bonus, against American entry to the
League and for adhesion to the World
Court. He urged the Mellon tax plan
as the one fair, scientific and endur-
ing taxation policy for the Nation.
He defended the Fordney- Nc umber
tariff, offered reason instead of hys-
terra in dealing with farm grievances
and demanded national economy.
There has been no White House wav-
ering on these policies.

BONUS LAW UPHELD

Washington. Stafford, of
the District of Columbia supreme
court, refused to enjoin Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon and other gov
ernment officials from enforcing the
soldiers compensation law.
In opposing the injunction request,
the government cited a decision by
the United States supreme court in
volving the Sheppard -Towner mater
nifty act, in which a Massachusetts,
woman asked for an injunction
against enforcement of that act. The
court ruled that taxpayer has not
sufficient interest in the bill to be
entitled to an injunction, and that
the maternity act does not compel any
one to accept a payment or benefit
Hereunder.
The government made the same
point in the present case, and pointed
out that no ex-service man or woman
is compelled to accept anything under
the bonus bill.

Spices in Demand in
Early DAYS of History

The tantalizing flavor and piquant
qualities Of spices have made them
sought after from the earliest DAYS of
mankind, and an adjunct to civilization
at all periods.
In the early days of history spices
were worth fabulous sums, owing to
the difficulty of obtaining them and
the high cost of transportation.
When Aleric the Goth conquered
Rome in 40 A. D., says the New York
World, he asked as ransom 5000
pounds of pepper, then worth more
than Its weight In gold
The first organization of dealers, 1t
is said, was the fraternity of pepper
ers," and 1t was in the Fourteenth
century that the name was changed
to the guild of grocers," which de
picted on its coat of arms six cloves
Venice at its height traded in spices
to the amount of $10,oO0,000 annually,
and ii We'd with Portugal In securing
cargoes from far eastern ports. Colum-
bus was bound for the spices Of the
East when he chanced upon q new
continent, and Yasco da Cana, the
famous sea fighter, made one of his
most important voyages to secure a
cargo of pepper, cinnamon and ginger
from India.

Light and Dark Stars

Two hundred millions Of millions of
miles away Is star called Algol. 1t
is the second brightest star in the con-
stellatlon of Perseus and it has the
curious habit of varying in brightness
at regular intervals.
After much research we know now
that Algol consists Of two stars-one
bright, the other dark, says London
Tit-Bits. They are each about mil
lion miles in diameter and about two
million miles apart. They revolve
around one another and when the dark
star is between us and the bright one
the light we receive from the latter d.
minishes.
There are several other stars of the
Algol type, and it is simply through
our researches that we are aware that
there exist in the heavens dark stars
stars which give no light at all and
are in themselves totally invisible.
How many there may be we do not
know for it is only by their eclipsing
bright stars that we can recognize
them at all.

Samoan Women Happy
and Not OUeruorked

The life of a Samoan woman is
pleasant. She is neither overworA ed
nor savagely treated, says Edward A.
Salisbury, in Adventure Magazine.
From her earliest childhood she is
trained in the intricacies of the silva
silva, and all her life the dance is
a source of pleasure to her.
Samoan women will always dance
for you If you ask them, and they
show by their smiles and songs how
much they delight in granting the re
quest. In their girlhood they deck
themselves with flowers and garlands
of leaves and are fond of coquetry,
but, unlike their Polynesian sisters of
the Marquesas and Society islands,
they are chaste.
Before the coming of the Ameri-
cans with new medical theories, the
life of an infant was doubtful, and
even now the Old customs are carried
out in some villages, 1t is said. The
newborn child was laid on its back
and three flat stones were laid around
the head. To make the baby beautiful
the family thought it was necessary
to flatten the forehead and nose. Moth
ing is uglier, they feel, than our hide
Gus, pointed "canoe noses" The baby
was fed with filtered coconut juice
for three days, while a wise wom-
an tested the mothers milk. Often
the child died

is being held the midsummer style
show by the manufacturers for re-
tailers and the trade at large. The

KIDDIES' CAMP
GROWING
Carpenters Work July 4th
to Hurry it's Completion

The large building at the kiddies'
tubercular camp is rapidly approach
ing completion. The roof was fin
ishedt Sunday. A large crew of car
penters worked Friday, Saturday and
Sunday all day, and every night till
dark the past week. Quite number
of carpenters worked all day Fourth
of July on the building that it might
quickly be made habitable for Ham
ilton's little unfortunates, giving up
their holiday but feeling well repaid
in the thought of the good they were
doing for those to be benefited.
Hamilton's union plumbers, paint
ers, electricians-all donating their
services-were on the job most every
evening during the week, and will be
there Saturday and Sunday in an
effort to complete the building.
Everyone connected seems anxious
to help. The city's service depart
ment, under the direction of Superin-
tendent Poffinbarger, laid 800 feet of
pipe to furnish the gas and water for
the camp.
1t is hoped to have the building
ready for occupancy within the next
week.
