the Palace Magazine, which first sug-
gested pool for Hamilton, the East
End Improvement Association for
getting back of the suggestion and
urging it along, the Lions Club for
promoting campaign for public SUBJ
scriptions to get the expense fund,
the board of park commissioners for
locating the pool and it's construction,
and many others are deserving of
credit for giving Hamilton real
community swimming pool.
But it is to the East End Improve
ment Association that the cake and
all other prizes is due for the success
full handling of the big crowd and the
big entertainment at the dedication.
The East End Improvement crowd is
made up of bunch of real live wires,
and when they start out to get any
thing or do something, they get it or
do it. Not a thing was overlooked
that could possibly be done, and it
was the associations continued boost
ing and publicity that brought the
big crowd out, no doubt about it.
And it was one big success

PALACE MAGAZINE
First to Advocate Swim
ming Pool for Hamilton

When Hamilton's first public
swimming pool was opened to the
public last Wednesday, the joy, the
glory and satisfaction of having been
able to bring this about was shared
between the Lions Club and the
Palace theatre.
The latter, because quite some time
ago the Lions Club and the Palace
Theatre Magazine pro-
gressive little house organ-advocat-
ed this swimming pool for Hamilton.
In this connection it may not be
amiss on the part of the Press to call
attention to the remarkable growth in
circulation which the Palace Theatre
Magazine has had. Starting out as
an ordinary and mediocre theatre pro-
gram, it gradually developed into
monthly publication which has varied
i'll size between 81 and 104 pages. Its
contributors consist of some of Ham
ilton's very best writer's. It's edi-
torial policy has been one without fear
or favor in all matters of civic inter-
est. Small wonder then that the
Palace Theatre Magazine has achiev-
ed mailing list of approximately
$500 homes. But Fred S. Meyer, the
energetic editor of the Palace Theatre
Magazine, is not content with its cir
culation and wants to make it reach
5000 goal For this reason there
appears in the current edition of the
Butler County Press coupon which,
if filled out and sent in to the Palace
theatre, will bring this magazine free
into the homes of our readers every
month The Palace Magazine is not
sent out promiscuously to list COM
piled from either telephone book or
city directory, but goes only to those
who are sufficiently interested in mat
ters theatrical and Of civic interest
to Hamilton If you are not receiving
the Palace Magazine, the Press
recommends that you detach and send
in the coupon and receive this pub
lication regularly every month. The
book is decidedly worth while reading
matter and of interest to every Ham
| iltonian.

RIDDLE OF LIVING

HE Great Mystery is not what becomes of us after we
die but why live at all. Through all the centuries
man has sought to penetrate the black curtain and learn what
awaits him in the Hereafter.
By the law and effect the condition in the Here
after depends the life we live here
All religions of large foowings agree that this life is pre-
paratory follows after death This true from the
Christian believing heaven awaits him he behaves and
obeys the rules Oriental who fears that if he doesn
live properly on will have back and do it all
over again.
Life must have definite purpose 1t cannot be amess.
Everything has purposeeven the falling of dead leaf to
ertize its strength back into the from
which it
Life is journey between two unknown stations Life IS a
training schoo-a spiritual gymnasium which obstacles and
temptations sent to develop spiritual strength
We into this world with certain definite tasks to do
These tasks proportion to natural abilities
The who is destined dig bitches all his life and
does the best he much the who
people politically head Of giant industries The
thorough ditch digger living good citizen is far greater
success than the who given great IN @ abuses his
power or fails for the accomplishment of good
Success thing that be measured by any unfver
yardstc It is relative natural abilities and oppor
tunites

Ir reviewing the little feature,
"Mgs Gland" that has been running
in this paper. it is astonishing to
note inc slmiIarities in the careers
of the great composerS and must
clans. Almost without exception,
these great men were born of labor
ing people and, in several instances.
were members Of enormous families.
Life was not smooth sailing for any
of them, and the end Of life was very
sad for many of them. Several of
them became blind or deaf and not
Il few were finished by melanchoha.
Mozart began composing at years
Of age. Chopin played for an en-
peror at 10 years of age. Verdi con
ceived "Folstaff" in his S0th year.
Verify. inspiration is not matter of
age, or heredity, or environment.
Another Haydn may be the son of
cook, another Dvoral1 the son of
a butcher, another Mascagni the son
Of a baker and another Bach, father
of twenty-one children, and may be
buried in pauper's grave and live
forever in music

little or Tub
- ~ COCHRAN

IT'S the middle Of the morning and
the house il all ahum as the dishes
and he kitchen work are dropped.
From tiny bahy's nursery little
walls and hollers come. It's no Won
der that all other things are stopped.
Mother rushes in TO get him and
he gurgles loud with elee, cause he
knows that she wilt lift him from his
bed. Soon he's yawring and he's
stretching and he's happy as can he.
Then he's snuggled in his baby cart
and fed.
While the younester drains his
bottle mother fixes up his tub. It's
portion. of the routine of the day.
Fuzzy towels are hanging handy
for the tot must have its rub after
splashiug half an hour or so away.
Now the morning bath is ready
and the youngster takes its plunge
and perhaps some soapsuds get into
its ewes. Water trickles down its
shoulders from fluffy. squeezy
sponge. Now and then the tot is
startled and it cries.
Years may pass but Nom remem-
bers bout the tub that used to be;
the tub that used to sit upon a chair.
It recalls the baby's play days as a
tiny tot, you see, and the gnemory's
one Of sentiment that's rare.
