CONCERNING CARNIvALs

Carnival time is now in full swing,
with hundreds of people in attendance
each night, Gaily decorated booths.
laden with various articles, which are

people. This means of disposing of
these wares is called gambling. and the
fremen are being severly criticised by
the Christians, who stand for right
+eousness. Very good, we commend
them. to certain extent. But. can
they justly condemn and place all
blame on the firemen and then truly say
"Our hands are washed from all sin
permitted by the Carnival !? We be-
lieve'not, if they stop and consider the
matter.

idea of some people. Ask any Of the
firemen who work every night for a
week on the carnival grounds, (besides
toiling 8 to 10 hours during the day at
eheir occupations) if they are having a
frolic. OF course not They are only
trying to perform dnty to their COM

Now then. ye good people, we know
that you do not contribute money by

support the fire company, your fire
company.
Are you in any way paying for the
protection that the company gives you

If some ofthe people would "shut'
up on criticism and ''open'' up their
pocketbooks there would be no need of
carnivals to raise money to finance fire
company. Then we could all say; "Our

RED CROSS NOTES

"An adequate Public Health
Nursing Service for our county"
Is our present service adequate ?
Can one Nurse give the needed at
tention to the many calls which
reach her Office !? She must often
be on the Highway at s A. M. and
often after an evening meeting,
does not get home until midnight.
The Standard says one nurse for
every 1000 population in Cecil
county. We have about 20, 900 people
and for the past three years faith
full few have found it very difficult
to raise one salary. This year every
family will be asked to subscribe
$1.00, those in position to increase
this will do SO gladly, SO that we
should have $4,000 from our CAM
paign in September. This will
enable us to appoint two county
nurses, owning to the fact that the
County Commissioners have placed
100000 for Nursing Service in the
budget of the County Board OF
Health. Shall this money be col
lected under the name of the Red
Cross or shall We rename ourselves

ASKS COOLIDGE.
FOR JUSTICE
TO VETS
Legion Commander Urges Him
to Waive Objections and
Sign Bonus Bill
BY JOHN T. LANIBERT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

John r. Quinn, the California
cowboy. pleaded today with Presi-
dent Coolidge to wave his personal
objections and sign the bonus bill
certain to be passed by Congress.
Commander Quinn, at the Presi-
dents invitation. had a long con-
ference with him today at tie
White House.
He made three main points in
his plea to the President:
Pleads for Justice.
I. That justice demands the pay
ment of the bonus.
Q. That It can be paid while at
the same time allowing a very
heavy reduction in taxes.
3. That the spirit of democratic
government requires that the Pres
ident subordinate his own idea to
the expressed will Of the majority.
Mr.. Quinn said that any man
who had a piece Of land the gov
eminent wanted during the war got
a good price for 1t. Amy man who
built ship or ran a railroad was
well paid. But soldiers were taken
from their regular work and wages
and served in France for 81 a day.
The government should merely re-
pay them in part, he said. for the
financial loss they sustained.
Cites Doheny and Sinclair.
He said Mr.. Doheny gets $780,
600, 1000 profit out Of California oil
fields. Sinclair is to get 500, 900 900
out of Teapot Dome and the SOL
diers feel everyone La getting some
thing but those who really deserve
It.
He said he does not trust Mr..
Mellon figures because they have
been invariably composed against
the bonus, but bad as those figures
are, they show that a bonus can
be paid the soldiers and a tau
reduction granted Of $3.50, 100000 a
year.
Commander Quinn said that legis.
latures, civic bodies, and the public
everywhere are overwhelmingly in
favor Of the bonus. He said he felt
that President Coolidge has the old
Yankee idea of democracy
and that when the bonus bill comes
to him he should sign 1t on the
theory that he was chosen President
not to rule the country but to carry
out the wishes Of the country in
matters Of legislation.

PASTOR
IN LELAND
DIVORCE
Court Dismisses Husbands
Suit, in Which Rev. Case
Was Accused by Wife.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Dr. Carl
D. Case, pastor of the Oak Park
Baptist Church, was legally
cleared Of charges Of misconduct
made against him by Albert Lee
land, a parishioner, in his suit for
divorce from Mrs. Charlotte Le-
land when Judge Charles Foell
yesterday denied the divorce de-
cree for want Of equity.
Cleared His Name.
The Rev. Mr.. Case had filed an
intervening petition to clear his
name after Mrs. Leland had made
a written confession Of improper
relations with him to her husband,
later repeating her story from the
witness stand:
Judge Foell granted attorneys for
Leland leave to appeal. The judges
decision, rendered orally, came after
the court had remarked that the
case was disgusting" and had de.
Perforated into "a scandal and q
town meettng-nothing else
IF the court were to make an
assignment Of reasons for its de-
cision," Judge Foell said. "a too
detailed account would be necessary.
A consideration for public morals
also demands that there be no
further comment on the case. The
details Of testimony here have al
ready been too widely exploited.
The prayer for a divorce, there
fore, is denied and the bill dismissed
for want of equity"
Makes Counter Charges.
When the case was resumed yes
terday, attorneys who had spent
two weeks in the East gathering
testimony called Durward C. Adams,
son Of the Rev. George Adams. Of
Mt. Vernon. N. Y, to the witness
stand. He testified that his mother
had told him of improper relations

father brought suit for divorce.
The Rev. Mr.. Case denied the
charges and in counter charges as
serted that the Rev. Mr.. Adams
had attempted blackmail. The Rev.
Clarence H. Frank, of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, testified that DR.. Case had
shown him the letter from DR..
Adams. Judge Foell repeatedly
warned attorneys that this evidence
was extraneous matter and would
be given no consideration.
Wife Had Hallucinations.
In their closing arguments attor-
neys for DIR. Case argued that Mrs.
Leland suffered from hallucinations.
Mr.. Leland said he would live
apart from his wife and could not
decide on further action until he
consulted his lawyers. Mrs. Le-
land refused to make a statement.
II am so happy that 1 can't
speak" DR.. Case said as he rushed
from the courtroom.

FASHION IS HIT
BY FLAPPERS'
DEFENDER
Modern Girl Is Neither Inn
moral Nor Immodest, Says
Salvation Army Head.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20.-A new
champion of the flirtatious flapper
stepped forth today in the person of
Com m ander Evangeline Booth,
leader of the Salvation Army.
There is nothing the matter with
the girls today. The fault lies with
the designers of fashion," declared
Miss Booth in an interview in The
Los Angeles Examiner.
at is natural for youth to be
extreme. The bobbed haired flapper
is neither immodest nor immoral in
following the style. Their mothers
did the same thing.
Petting Parties the Same
''Petting parties Of today in auto.
mobiles are no worse than the pet.
ting parties of yesterday in buggies.
THE girl with an immodest spirit,
although her dress may trail to
the ground, will be more harmful
than the girl with pure spirit who,
at the behest of fashion. abbreviates
her garments at both ends.
Most Of all, girls need the whole.
some influences of a happy home
and devoted mother.
Because woman enters the
business world, because she assumes
the duties of citizen, she is Ger.
tainly none the less a perfect
mother and wife.
THE time is coming when women
will be on even and just competi.
tive basis as men in business and
civic planes. II q woman 10y rea.
son Of her finer qualities can per.
form the duties of any position or
office better than a man, then she
certainly is rightfully entitled to
serve"
Calls Fashion Tyrant
Fashion was characterized by
Miss Booth as a ''tyrant" from
which she hoped every girl could
be taught to declare her independ.
ence in favor Of comfort and nv.
giene in dress.
AFTER ALL" she said. "modesty
Is a thing Of the spirit rather than
an affair of the dress. ANY yjrl
who guards her heart against The
inroads of impurity surely will sur.

the extravagances Of fashion,
