the members more cheerful. Per sonal talks with some one of the employed staff has helped many a young man over a hard place in the road of life, or led him 10 change the manner of his life and in some cases, has led him to join the church. Jobs have been secured for some and others have secured bet ter positions by their study in the educational classes. But most of the good results go unmeasured, for who can calculate the effects of constant participation in a Christian institution with activities to fit the daily needs of physical, social and religious patures - organized and geared for service and not profit? One result concrete enough, Is that three of the young men will enter Springfield college this fall to join long line of boys from this as- sociation who have been sent there to study for Christian callngs. They will augment the group of young men recruited and trained here and now out in Y. M. C. A. or school work. The list includes Slater and Bertini at Pasadena, Cal, Hultgren at Boston, Andrews at Stamford, Carlson, Preble. Farrel, Bruemmer and Dennis at Hartford, Hoagland and Woods at Winsted, Danielson at New Haven, Anderson at Bristol high school and Norfedt al West Hartford high school. Nib- borts, Eichstaedt and Schnaidt arc in Springfield college and Loomis, R"hm an Parker will enter there this fall. We are informed that New Britain trains more men for Y. NJ. C. A. work than any other associa- ton in the state.

Firty-two men were enrolled in the salesmanship and public speaking classes. Mir. 4, c.

Photos of Rum Row Too
 Small to Be of Value

Washington, April 21.--A series of photographs of rom row taken from the dirigible Los Angeles on her trial flight last week, were received today by Secretary Wilbur. Be- cause of the height from which they were taken, the pictures were of small value for identification pur- poses, but the secretary announced they would be placed at the disposal of the coast guard. They were made, he added. solely as an experiment. to determine what value the dirigible might have in making a pictorial record of the area she was travers- ing.

LOST, sTRAYED OR STOLEN!

Some Of the finest thoughts OF
the world have been lost because
they were not recorded.
The mind is tricky. Out of the
ether it grasps gems of thoughts
turns them about to see them glisten
in the light, and then let's them
go. Unless they are transcribed on
paper, they escape; perhaps never to
return.
Many brainy men have realized
this; they have made it law with
themselves that such ideas must be
written down. In THIS way they are
preserved, developed, rounded out,
and later transmitted to thousands
of other minds.
A fve-eent notebook may make
you famous. Jot down the unusual
thoughts you have-for your own
good if for no other.
When given to others they may
create an esteem for you--or make
people think you are crazy
If you preserve them for your
self, go thru your notebooks later
You will be amazed at the thoughts
you have had; they will appear
strange and unreal; but they viii
give you glimpses of the mysterious
depths Of the mind.

is THE KU KLUX KHAN AN
OFFSHOOT OF PROHIBITION

Because l have given space in
this paper to news of the Ku Klux
Khan have been credited with be-
ing High Factotum Of the or
ganization. And constantly | have
been asked questions about the or
sder; some of them | could answer,
and some of them went over my
head like a breeze. If the questions
concerned the original Khan of the
"Old South" would be better
qualified to answer
One of the questions has come
from many sources:-"Is the Ku
Klux Khan a prohibition organiza-
ton? Does it exercise its strength
in cooperating with the Anti-Sa-
loon League?"
These questions are evidently
prompted by news reports from
various sources to the effect that
the Khan has been credited with
"dry raids" "cleaning-up cam
paigns," etc. One instance is where
the Khan in Philadelphia volunteered
to "dry up" that city if the police
wanted their assistance.
Frankly, know no more about
it than what | have read in the
newspapers. If anyone can answer
the question, | shall be glad to re-
print it in this paper

A DAWES RIDE AGAIN

In his ride in emulation of his
distinguished ancestor General
Dawes yesterday reached these
parts. He stirred enthusiasm much
as did Paul Revere, Samuel Pros
colt and William Dawes $50 years
ago. This countryside is already very
thoroughly aroused, we are glad to
record, in support of the highly
sensible propositions with which the
Viee-Presdent enlivened the open
ing session of the new Senate.
Incidentally, the present up
holder of the Dawes traditions is
spreading quite as sound doc
trine of Americanism as did his
predecessor. He is no more for
respecting outworn forms than We're
the Minute Men; yet he is equally
vigorous in his support of every
sound inheritance from the past
quite as were revolutionists Of 1775.

SOME REACHl

Colome, S. D.-Although. the to-
tai population of this village is
only 568, many of whom are
young people under voting age, the
membership of Thayer- Waters post
of The American Legion here
ranges from $50 to 100 year after
year. The answer is that the post
has members living in Iowa, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Montana, Cali
fornia, the Argentine and other
far-fung spots. They retain their
membership in the big-little South
Dakota post because of the special
effort the post makes to keep its
strayed members thoroughly in
formed on all matters of hospitali-
cation, compensation and vocation
al training, and gives any other
assistance that a World War vet
eran might need.

TOAST KING, THEN POPE,
INSISTS CATHOLIC MAYOR

London, April 24.-Because it was
decided to propose the health of
the Pope before that of King
George, the Lord Mayor of London,
Colonel Sir Alfred Bower, who is
a Roman Catholic, refused to at
tend the annual banquet last even
ing of the Catenian Association, a
Roman Catholic society.
The Lord Mayor had accepted
the invitation, but, upon learning
of the decision of the chairman,
cancelled his acceptance, and told
the press: 81 will not attend any
banquet in the capacity of Lord
Mayor at which the royal toast is
honored after that of the Pope"
Two city sheriffs, also Roman
Catholics, followed the Lord Mayors
example.-N. Y. Tribune.

In fact she had a pair.
And they were just as shapely
As found most anywhere.
She took them to the shore one
day
And donned a one-piece suit;
And all the fellows flocked around
To see her calves so cute.
If Mary went into the surf,
They followed without fear;
And if she lay upon the sand
They also lowered near.
Her shapely calves made them
forget
That Mary had a lamb;
And tho they made sleeps eyes
at her,
She didn't care "a boot!
