THE KIND OF TOWN YOU LIKE

Something like a decade ago the idea took hold all over the country that aspiring towns should advertise. So universally board of commerce and citizens committees and town councils began to think up slogans and the world was exhorted to Watch Winkville Win" and Boost for Bingtown."
 For long time the making of the slogan seemed to be about all that was done in these local advertising enterprises. It never seemed to oc- cur to anybody that people don't rush to town and plead to be per m1tted to stop there because of its slogan. Many of the places having the most enticing slogans also had the most wretched hotel accommo- ditiOnS. It was the common remark among those who attempted to drive an automobile thru the country that the improved roads of the township were vastly safer and better than the main streets of the villages. These were frequently left so full of holes and ruts and so cut up with ele- Vated crosswalks that to drive a mo- torcar over them faster than 10 miles an hour was perilous perform ance. Nevertheless at the entrance to nearly every village was the hos tile warning that anyone driving fas- ter than certain speed would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And village constables and jus tices of the peace were frequently in a league of watchful waiting to make good the threat.
 All this has changed now. A new spirit of hospitality is spreading. Nearly every town and village likes to be known for it's courtesy to tour lsts. Pavements are of the best, if there are pavements. Signs at the city limits welcome the stranger and hint without offense that his self-re- straint in observing the local speed regulations will be appreciated. The slogan is not necessary in such towns. The stranger not only watches but

WOMEN MAKE PLEA.
FOR EQUAL RIGHTS.
Ask House Judiciary Commit
tee to Favor Removal of
Legal Disabilities.

One hundred women from all parts
of the country gathered today before
the House judiciary committee to urge
enactment of the proposed equal
rights constitutional amendment de-
signed to remove legal disabilities
against women and place them on a
par with men. The Senate judiciary
subcommittee will hear the women Fri
day.
The National Woman's Party spon-
soring the amendment, sent a dele
cation decked out in the party insig-
MIA of purple, white and gold. They
said this was the first opportunity
given woman's equal rights delega-
ton to appear before Congress since
the original bill Of woman's rights
was drawn up in 1848.
Maud Younger, congress chairman
Of the National Woman's Party, said
the amendment would be, in effect
a mandate to the States to equalize
their laws"
Nothing impairs the powers of the
States to enact any laws they wish or
to adopt any standard of equality
that they wish, except that the prin
ciple of equality must be substituted
in the State laws for the old COM
mon law attitude toward women"
Mabel Vernon of Wilmington, Del,
cAcSutlSc seer OI the w
Party, said it was Inevitable that
this principle of equality for men and
women will be written into the Con-
stitution, regardless of what the COM
mittee might do
The amendment, described as de-
signed to remove all inequalities ap-
plying to women under State laws
especially as to property and other
rights, was introduced in the Senate
more than two years ago by Senator
Curtis of Kansas, the present Repub-
lican leader, and in the House at the
same time by Representative Anthony,
Republican, Kansas 1t is supported
by the National Womans Party,

DR.. Freeman Tells Diocesan Convention Here THAI

rebuked. Let us at all costs maintain
the high and holy standards commit
ted to us by the Savior Of mankind
Bishop Freeman told of the COM
pletion of plans for a memorial in the
new catedral for the late Bishop Hard
ing in commemoration of whom the
Chapel of the Resurrection, now in pro-
cess of construction, will be dedicated,
Pointing to the attainment of high
er standards in the world, and rebut-
ting the dictum that the present is a
morally decadent age" Bishop Free
man emphasized that the later move
ments of modern commercial life
should "be taken as registering a
higher moral and ethical standard In
the common contacts of everyday life.'
Improvement Is Seen.
eve cannot but believe that these
later movements are to be taken as
registering a higher moral and ethical
standard in the common contacts or
every day life. The countrywide de-
velopment of civic associations is but
another phase of this corporate en-
deavor after more equitable and
wholesome conditions. Strained, as
at times are the relations between
capital ard labor, We still believe tfat
more equitable and just conditions are
coming to exist in our great Industrial
workroom. Much is still to be desired
and much is still to be accomplished
but those of US who have been SYM
pathetic observers of industrial con-
ditions. find much to encourage US in
the better understanding that exists
today. Once, capital was arrogant
and labor defiant. Today more fair
play and the practice of the Square
dear' are evident. Conference and
arbitration must come more and more
to be the reasonable methods OF ad-
justing disputes and differences, and
where once there was strife and
bloodshed there must come the gospel
of understanding that alone issues in
prosperity and peace. The further
evidence of higher ethical standards
is disclosed in the secular press. The
tone, in the main, of our journals to-
day, is far higher than it was gen
Grafton ago. Bad spots there doubt
less are, but taken by and large, the
press bears witness to more whole
some ideals than We have known in
sive to appeals from beneficent and
Christian agencies. earnest and inn
pressive in championing causes that
have to do with the well-being of in
dividual and corporate life. the
church may with large propriety
acknowledge its debt of obligation to
the press. We might with profit
pursue our survey of those institu-
tionS and agencies that today are
allied in the promotion of interests
that are beneficent and highly ethical
in character. There is no evidence of
moral atrophy or decay as one studies
the progress that has been made in
developing a finer corporate and civic
consciousness

Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-09
By JACKSON GREGORY

Fast as Judith went now, having
fair sort Of cliff trail under her
Mad Ruth went faster. The gorge
measured scant fifty feet between
them and the girls alert senses told
her that already Ruth was on level
with her. Ruth was winning in the
desperate race. She knew her way
down so perfectly, her heart was so
filed with madness, that danger was
nothing to her.
Down and down climbed Judith,
caution welded to haste, as she told
herself that she had chance yet,
that that chance must not be tossed
away In fall, though it were but a
few feet. She must have no sprained
ankle If she meant to see the sun rise
tomorrow
The flush had frightened in the
sky where the moon was so near the
ridge. The moon, too, had joined in
the race; with one quick glance to-
ward 1t, Judith again discarded eau
tion for haste. She must get down
into the floor of the canyon before the
moonlight did; she must be running
before it's radiance showed her out
to Quinnion and Ruth.
Her hands were cut and bleeding,
her heart was beating wildly, already
her body was sore and bruised. But
these things she did not know. She
only knew that QuiHnion was still
coming on above her, and coming more
swiftly now, quite as swiftly as she
herself moved, since his feet, too
were in the better trail; that Mad
Ruth had completed the descent
across the chasm and by now must be
crossing the stream upon some fallen
log or rude bridge; that one minute
more, or perhaps two, would decide
her fate.
She could see the stream, glinting
palely in the starlight. 1t seemed
very near; its thunder filed her ears.
Down she went and down, down un-
til at last she was not ten feet above
it's surface, with strip Of gently
sloping bank just under her. She
stopped, took firm hold upon knob
Of boulder, prepared to swing down
and drop to the bottom. And, as she
stopped, she heard a little whining
moan just under her and straight
ened up, tense and terrified. Mad
Ruth was there before her, Mad Ruth
was waiting

a landmark: to see yonder In the dis
tance Old Baldy or Copper mountain
or Three Fools peak, any one Of the
mountains or ridges known to her.
And in the end she could only shake
her head and sigh wearily and slip
down where she was to fall asleep,
thanking God that she was free, ask
ing God to lead her Alright in the
morning.
The stars watched over her, pale,
wornout girl sleeping alone in the
heart Of the wilderness; the night
breezes sang through the century-old
tree-tops; and Judith, having striven
to the uttermost, slept In heavy
dreamlessness.
With the cool dawn she awoke
shivering and hungry Her hair had
tumbled about her face, and sitting
up she braided it with numb, sore
fingers. She looked at her hands; they
were stained with blood from many
cuts. Her skirt was torn and soiled;
her stockings were in strips; her
knees were bruised But as she rose
to her feet and once more searched
the riddle of crag-broken world, her
heart was light with thank fitness.
