been extended and the playground

real city utility.
Several interesting programs were
given during the year; also most
enjoyable dinner at the Imperial
Hotel, which was well attended by
our members. While our work at

The work of a Community club Is
essentially different from that of
other clubs, composed as it is of busy
women, each travelling their chosen
walk in life, but all imbued with the
desire TO better their SURROUNDINGS
and lend what assistance they can
consistently to aid in civic affairs.
During the year just passed we
have assisted the Fair association. |

proclaim something that will cause
people TO stop and think in the mad
rush for tho almighty do lar. II we
are TO Judge what happens immcdi.
atcly after crime Is committed and
the crime has been reported. the
next thing we hear is that the one
committing the crime Is insane.

It WINS not for the lawyers who are
willing TO do anything to defeat tho

My contention is that tho lawyer

DYING STAR

T'HE great red star. Mira Ceu in
l. the constellation Whale. Is dying.
Recently II attracted much attention
because OF an unaccountable revival
in brightness. This star Is a star
Of the older type and Is dying down
rapidly In heat and Is now not as hot
as our sun. But Il is many times
larger and II the earth were as near
Il as the earth Is 10 the sun. this
globe would be a readhot. lifeless
planet.
The explanation advanced by scri.
ven Bolton. +. Il. a. s., in an article
on the subject, for the sudden flaring
up OF the dying sthr. Is that a crust
Is beginning 10 form as the surface
coois. In the same way as one theory
once accounted for the forming OF
the earth II this Is 30. he says,
violent explosions frequently occur
as pressure OF this formation grows
and there are sudden flares Of light
and heat many times greater than
usual.
The spectroscope shows that Mira
Ceti has a different composition from
the younger and hotter suns. At any
rate. great and violent changes are
taking place on this giant exploding

History in the Making

THE BRIGHT flame Of daring adventure lights up the
epoch-makng voyage of those army round-the-world
flyers rearing toward their goal Like Magellan
Columbus they writing a page in history
Only time will tell whether the flight has any practical
value pioneer in of world transportation
but the human element in the accomplishment cannot be
denied IL is tribute TO courage endurance, skill and
fortitude.
The names of Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut.. Eric
Nelson pilots of the Chicago" and the New Orleans"
may be remembered in days TO come equally well
those of Magellan and Columbus.
A lot of the credit belongs to their mechanics and
alternate pilots Lieut. Lester p. Arnold and Lieut. John
Harding, Jr.
Considerable credit. too due TO Lieut. Leigh Wade
who lost his first plane off the Faroes II nothing else
his misfortune and the narrow escape Of Lieut. Loeae

genuine hazard and risk of life despite all the precau-
tons taken.
The appeal of the difficult and the thrill Of has
lured redbooded to adventure and pioneered the

upon which others have advanced
And so il may be with these fellows who wnging

The Thrill Business

Up in Grand Rapids wife and mother
- is under arrest because she stole dresses from de-
parment store not because her circumstances influenced
her to do but because she wanted the thrill of it,
In Maine fine young boy was caught while driving
booteggers automobile. No. he wasn't member of the
gang He cared nothing about liquor and did not drink
himself, sell drink TO Others He liked the thrill" OF
being chased by the prohibition officers and just step
ping on 'er."
In little town of the Middle West boy of Id is in the
hands of the constable because he has been scattering
tacks and screws along muchraveled highway adjacent
to town, much to the damage of automobile tires and
otherwise comparatively good dispositions
He had feeling of l-wil against machine driver
just liked to hear the hiss and pop Of ared tires and
the vocal outbursts of outraged autoiss He liked "the
thrill" of it.
A young in New York has been caught by the
Police after long quest He had set fire to 90
old empty houses He possessed by irresistible
desire to hear the catter Of fire apparatus the shouts
and screams of and and to see the rush of
crowds and the roll Of the ominous smoke He liked "the
thrill" of it.
The thrlp business seems to be on the increase but
at that it stands out dstinctivey and repusvey
because it is exceptional Reaction from it will come
in due time always is the case, and law and good
order will prevail.
AS matter Of fact, people everywhere, in vast ma
jority going about their usual affairs sobey and
sedately and their influence for and level living
cannot be neutrazed by tangens in crime otherwise
Common decency will be and has been
entirely out of fashion.

that if you put into the box ST. in few minutes 81 would
out. Along comes who had scraped for years
and accumulated $4,000. The box would turn out $4,000
in four hours But something allied the box for it turned
out only 81. And the police, the courts and the
courts officers have got to spend much time paid for in
good taxpayers money to enforce justice upon the in
ventors of the mysterious box
Justice spends her money the rascaly fisherman.
The unmitgated sucker who forces the waste of public
money goes free, to bite again later on.
