HERE'S A NEW FAD
POPULARITY OF CROSS PUZ-

Every few years something new
comes along and sweeps the country
as fad. Now it's cross word puz-

ment, yet they become the reigning
fad in place of bridge, Nah Jongg

ticklers. The craze has become so
widespread that the daily New York

original puzzles will be printed every
Tuesday and Saturday and on each
other day the puzzle fans will be

THE TWENTIETH AMENDMEl

Mr.. Editor-Without committinS
myself, either pro or con, on thu
Amendment to our National ConstA
tuition, wish to call attention to III
The next session of our LegislaturE
will be called on to consider al
Amendment to our Federal Const1
tuition, giving Congress full power u
pass laws, regulating the kind "a
employment and the hours of laDls,
OF all youths under the age Of eigH
teen (18) years. This will be one os'
if not the most important acts of thl
Legislature; and one on which tht
members should like an expressff
of the wishes of the people. No hors
est man would knowingly misrepres
ent his constituents;
An Amendment to the National
Constitution is far different from d
statute law or an amendment to oui
State Constitution. There is no MAJ
chinery by which an amendment I'd
the u. S. Constitutions may be rel
pealed, so that such law are permanl
ent. If majority of the voters faI
vor this Amendment the Legislature
should adopt it, if majority are OPP
posed to it, it would be rejected. The
difficulty as l see it, is to get an ex-
preston of opinion. This might be
secured by having ballots at each pol.
ing place with "For the Amendment
and Against the Amendment prins
ed on them. This may be done BY
Petition" to the Legislature. Per-
nit me to say that no petition will
ever be thrown into the basket
that is sent to me, if l am your
representative. And say, eye Editor
get busy and tell US all about this
Amendment.
If | am sent to the Legislature from

present my private views, but to re-
present the views of my constituents

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

From time to time, as The Youths
Companion Historic Milestone Cover
have appeared the Publishers have
dedicated them, each to the particul-
ar state with which the subject of
the cover was most closely associat-
ed.
But now and then there has been a
subject of such general interest
Washington's Inauguration, for ex-
ample-that the only fitting thing to
do was to dedicate it, not to single
state, but to the Nation. Such a
Milestone Cover is to appear upon
the issue of October g.
Franklin at the Court of Louis XVI,
was painted expressly for The Com
panion by Andre Castaigue, dean of
the worlds illustrators. The text
that accompanies the unusually inn
portant picture reads as follows:
Franklin in France wearing his
plain homespun suit with quiet dignA
lty In the presence of an elegant and
luxury-loving Court, is more than a.
figure in diplomatic history; he is the
embodiment of great national ideal
that wisdom, integrity and self-re-
spect shall stand unabashed even in
the presence of kings.
Since both the interest of the sub
ject and the political faith that the
painting so shirkingly expresses are
no local or sectional, but belong alike
to the whole Nation, the Publishers
OF The Companion have most happily
dedicated this outstanding Milestone
Cover to the American People.

government

Four years ago the Republican
platform promised economy. At that
time, with the end of the World War
many month past, the people of the
United States were still paying war
taxes, and highly burdensome war
taxes. Figures are available for
little more than three years of Re-
publican administration, and these
figures are the best answer to wheth-
er that platform pledge has been car
ried out
The public debt on Feb %, 1921
few days before the end Of the Dem
ocratic administration then in power
amounted to $2O,051 ,634,7 28. At
the end of June this year-three and
third years of Republican rule
the public debt had been brought
down to $20,982,242, O42. 1t is diff
cult for any mind to realize what a
billion is. This reduction amounted
to 5000, 442, 686-more than three
thousand millions Of dollars.
This much has been cut off the
principal. The cut has saved Ameri-
can taxpayers more than $135, O00,-
600 in interest charges each year
more than third of million dol
lars a day.
Public expenditures-the cost of
running the federal government
have been slashed with determined
hand during the Republican regime,
the figures show. For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1921-all but three
months of which was under Demo
cratic administration-the outlay for
this purpose was $5.538, 100000. For
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924

WINTER CARE OF RADIATOR

every motorist should give spec
ial attention to his radiator during
the winter months" suggests G. E.
Cain, local dealer in Stars and Du-
rants. Neglect of this vital part of
his car will result in much annoyance
and expense.
ITO prevent damage to both motor
and radiator, an anti-freeze solution
should be used. However, before
employing the anti-freeze, the radia-
tor should be thoroughly washed out
with solution of I've and water to
remove the scale or mud accumulated
from driving of the summer months.
"There ard many patented anti
freeze solutions, but we recommend
a mixture of alcohol with water. By
using such a mixture you will avoid
running the risk of rusted radiator
or cylinder trouble. %
an deciding the correct mixture
for different temperatures, this table
may be followed:
Wood Alcohol
10 per cent-18 degrees above
20 per cents degrees above
80 per cent? degrees below
40 per cent -23 degrees below
SO per cent SO degrees F below
so per cent-36 degrees F below
Denatured Alcohol
10 per cent-24 degrees F above
20 per cent -16 degrees F above
80 per cent degrees F above
40 per cent degrees F below
so per cents degrees F below
"Since alcohol evaporates more
quickly than water, it is best to add
equal parts when the solution in the
radiator is low. A good suggestion is
to add pint of glycerine when fill
ing radiator or the glycerine will float
on top of the solution, and prevent
rapid evaporation of alcohol.
During the winter months, the
radiator should be protected. A lea
Their cover or a blanket are suitable
for this use.
more attention also should be
paid to the battery and generator
In the winter with the shorter days
and longer nights, the charge is not
kept going like in the summertime,
so the reliability is not the same.

A Weekly Panorama of Events in thu
National Capital
By PETER KEEGAN
Special Correspondent of
The Belington Progressive

lhE r ROMloCD eApooC VI PAo-
hibition enforcement by the Senate
committee presided over by Couzens
of Michigan will be held off until af-
ter the election. The committee has
started it's investigation of the Urea
sury, but will be occupied for the next
five or six weeks with a survey OF
the administration of the tax laws
with view to recommending changes
in existing regulations. Nothing
very exciting will come out of that.
THERE is NO doubt in the minds
of those who are watching the politi-
cal situation in the west that some
thing more than naval problems caus-
ed President Coolidge to suddenly re-
call Secretary of the Navy Wilbur to
Washington from California. The
President fastened to deny that, how
ever, because he didn't want to make
it appear that there was any friction
between himself and Wilbur. The
SECRETARY is back at his desk in the
campaign, making no speeches.
CONGRESSIONAL committees and
special Investigators seem to make
no Roadway in determining whether
or not the Government has been de-
frauded by the duplication of bonds
in the Bureau of Engraving. Charles
Brewer, who made an investigation
of the alleged duplication for Presi-
dent Harding, says that bonds were
faudulently issued, but Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon is just as en-
phatic with his denials. A new in
quiry of the scandal has been launch
ed, but it is getting nowhere.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF De-
mocratic Chairman Shaver that he
did not think Davis could win if the
presidential election should be held
now was received with surprise and
considerable pleasure in both the La
Toilette and Coolidge camps. Shaw
er meant that the election would be
thrown into Congress. In admitting
that he did, in some respects, 'let
the cat out of the bag" as it always
expected that politicals managers
will never admit anything detriment-
al to themselves or their party. The
belief that an election at this time
would result in a deadlock is held
privately, however, by both Republi-
can and Progressive leaders, although
they are not so willing to talk about
it as Shaver.
SOCIETY TONGUE WAGGERS
got surprise this week when it was
learned that S. Parker Gilbert, form
er Under-Secretary of the Treasury,
and now Agent General of Repara
tons in Europe, was to marry Miss
Louise Ross Todd of Louisville, KY
Gossip had it that Gilbert was about
to effect an alliance with the Mellon
Millions by marrying Miss Ailsa Mel
Ion, daughter of the Secretary of the
Treasury and one of the wealthiest
young women in the world.
THE SUPREME COURT ruling
that intoxicants can not be sold on
American ships travelling the high
seas has resulted in at least one YES
sci retiring from the transatlantic
trade, according to reports to Gov
eminent shipping agencies. The old
German liner AGEMENNON, after
striving unsuccessfully for two years
to complete with the liquor-selling
English ships, has givin up the ghost
and put in at Hampton Roads. The
ship probably will rot at the docks
and then be sold for junk.

UNCLE EZRA SAYS:

Many radio fans will never forget
the batteries they spoiled listening to
a certain convention.
Political bunkum is not going tot
catch votes this Fall-taxpayers are
for the man who has reduced taxes
and willNget them more reductions
when Congress convenes.
Common sense and honesty are
two things that the Nation needs
Coolidge has both.
Coolidge was nominated by the
people-not by the politicians-let's
have the election the same way.
Every mother admires the rugged
honesty of Coolidge-his life always
has been and is today an inspiration
to the youth of the land.
The welfare of the nation needs
clean and clear thinking-don't Rus
sianize our country.

Eight years of Democratic admin
istration, during the first six years of
which the Democrats controlled Con-
gress, placed an increaing burden of
taxation of the American people
These increases were not all due to
waging war. As. soon as this party
came into power in 1913, appropria-
tions began to mount. In the spring
of 1916, the Democratic Congress APP
propriated more money for the fiscal
year beginning July l of that year
than had ever before been appropri-
ated for the expenses of the federal
government.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CHARLESTON, Sept. 20 Talks
by uniformed officers of the Fire de-
partment have been found to be the
best appeal to children" the State
Fire Marshal department, which is
conducting the campaign in this state
for Fire Prevention Week October
5 to 11), advises. Arrangements
should be made with the fire chief so
that every child will hear fireman
speaker at least once during the fire
prevention campaign.
"To get the best results from the
celebration of Fire Prevention Week
in the schools some preparation is
necessary; the full possibilities will
only be realized if the teachers have
already explained to their classes
something about the significance of
the fire waste and the more common
hazards.
"The writing of competitive essays
in the various schools for prizes Of
fered by public spirited individuals
or organization, has proved an excell-
ent expedient for keeping the SUBJ
ject of fire prevention we'll before the
pupils minds. Another successful
method of reaching parents as well
as children is the distribution among
the children of inspection blanks up
on which to report the fire hazards
of thir own homes"
