THE BOYS CLUB AND ITS NOBLE WORK

Tn an age when the moral and ethical looseness of section of our youth has merited widespread comment by educators and other intelligent observers, 1t behoores the settled and responsible citizen- ship to glory in all efforts made to guide boys alright, that they may grow Into men worthy of being American citizens.
 The Boys club on East Main street functions in this capacity, and in addition to providing means for recreation, Is also carefully nurturing the young wards in Its care, especially during the fall and winter, when outdoor play is cur tailed.
 The Boys club has been a re- markable success in this city be- cause the field for such an organi- zation is ideal. Its officials are wide awake to their opportunities, and the list of activities under way for the winter will be a topic of con- versation in hundreds of homes The club is one of those organiza' tions that help to shape the future of America Its work should not be overlooked by citizens who are in terestcd in the future. The clul cannot do too much to entertain and instruct it's charges and vii scarcely do too little,

JUsTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

By s. A. Bovan. We had been drifting gently Our
 canoe Seemed like moat of dreams on
 magic sea. The scene was one to stir a poets
 heart, To treasure, ever. as a memory. A moon of glory fioated overhead And turned the silver lake to molten
 gold; The quiet beauty eased my troubled
 heart. Peace seemed my very spirit to en-
 fold, I gazed into the deep and dream-lit
 eyes. Of my companion. she who was so
 fair: I thrilled to think that in their love-
 lines My own exalted mood reflected
 there. I murmured to her, Love, this is sublime." She moved her gum and in a nasal
 tone Replied, "In tell the cock-eyed
 world it is!" And so that night l padded back
 alone!

PROFESSIONAL BEAUTIES
 AND AMATEURS

And SO there are professional beauties and "amateur beauties" The professional IS the girl of the stage she of the beaming smile be- hind the footrghts, the girl who is ra-skilled in the use of the lip stick and the tricks of cosmetics, the girl with raiment weighing two ounces or less. The amateur beauty is one who does not make her hv- ing by professional display of her charms; she may be a stenographer, a bookkeeper or a manicure girl, or be identified with any Of the other numerous callngs that have taken our girls out of the home into the vortex of business and in- dustry, and turned them into strap hangers who can hold their own as well as roll their own,
 The objection of the multitude of amateur beauties against the pari- cipatjon Of professional beauties in the so-called beauty contest at At lantic City was in a sense justified, The professional beauty has al ready won one contest that of passing muster before the eagle eyes Of the stage directors who will not employ any girl minus the ne plus ultra in physical charms, es- pecially in the shows" designed primarily 10 "zlor!fy" the American girl The amateur beauty has not passed such an examination and has vet 10 win her spurs. Naturally, it would he unreasonable to expect her 10 pit her proportions against sisters who have already been given

WORKING WITH THE TOOLS
 OF CAPITAL

Ever since the later Warren Stone, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, guided his or ganlzation into the realm of bank ing, various labor organizations have followed his example. The first labor bank, established In Cleve- land, where it is ensconced in 8 sky scraper, speedily passed outside of the realm of experimentation. It can be said to have been a success from the start. Radicals in some labor unions denounced 1t as "conces- sion of capitalism" or as laborers turning into capitalists" and of course, they were right. But there Is no season why labor unions which recognize the capitalistic sys- tenn and in practice work hand in glove with 1t, gaining their susten- ance from the fruits of capitalistic enterprise, should not also be capi- talists. It is given to any laboring man to own stock in enterprises, and increasing numbers of them have been doing so. It is no whit difference to own stock in a bank than to own stock in the concern with which one is employed, or in other concerns.
 Hence the decision of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor, at its New Britain convention, to establish a labor bank in this state was not surprising. During the past year thre other such banks were decided upon by another labor organization in the state, and though little has been heard of the matter since that time, the banks probably are being formed. The total of labor banks throughout the nation, oper- ated by dozen or so of labor or ganizatins, is surprising.
 A labor bank is no different from any other bank except that the con- trolling stock is owned by a labor organization, Business is done with the general public like any other bank and experienced banking off cials usually are employed, Of course, such banks compete" with other banks; but the other banks also "compete" with one another. so that the net result is merely a few more banks added 10 those already existing.
 It should be rather gratifying than otherwise 10 find labor or ganizations working with the tools of capitalistic enterprise. It is 8 better symptom than working g against the system, as the commun- ists and similarly minded radica' individuals would desire. The more the labor organizations get identi, fled with such enterprise the more they will work with and for the es. tabished order

BUSINESS DECIDES ... AVIATION FUTURE
Petitions for Air Mail Extensions
 Are Received Daily

Washington, Jan. lG - Petitions from chambers Of commerce and suggestions from members of Con- gress for extensions of the air mall service are being received daily by the postofflce department, the re- quests being based upon representa- tions by business men who believe they see in the air mall the greatest single promise for the saving or time and the increase Of efficiency that has appeared in recent years.
 Pending legislation by Congress. postoflca authorities acknowledge receipt of the petitions, and then turn toward the capitol to await the enactment of legislation that will permanently establish the transcon- tinental and other mall lines. Pas sage by the house recently Of two bills dealing with the air mall serv- ice has brought the question to the front rank of discussion among senators and representatives.
 Both the La Guardia bill, author izing the. postmaster general TO onerste and maintain air mail serv- ices in any part Of the United States and territories that he may from time to time indicate" and the Kelly bill, authorizing contracts with private firms for the trans nort of air mail lat a cost not to sYcAed tour-htths of the revenues derived from such air mail'" were recently accepted by the house. The bills may become law before tne sdiournnent of Congress on March 1,
 The immediate significance of the ra, Gardia bill is to legalize and make permanent the present gov .rnment operated New fork-san Francisco air mail, while the Kelly bill will prepare the way for private onsration ct this and other routes snd thus actually introduce the era of commercial air transport.
 Debates in Congress and discus s,on by both senators and repre- ssntatives are believed to point to-
 
 ward the early expansion Of the air mail. and are said to indicate that Congress Is arriving at the conciu- sion that one way to establish aVla- ton defense Is to develop com rnerc,al flying, and that commercial f,1ng can only be brought about py actually putting government planes to work.
 Recent debates brought out that during the last two years ana ten months the government planes on the transcontinental air line have flown in excess of 6,Ooo,OOo mics and have carried 2.o5o tons of mall with a loss of 125 pounds. Or est>- mated in number of pieces. only 5000 of the 16o.oo0,oOO letters transported were lost.

KNOCKS FEM OUT QUICK Toughest Of Old
 Hang Coughs Go

Why send a boy to do q mans work? Sweet, sugary cough syrups may help a simple cough but when you are travelling along towards the cemetery with a stubborn tight old cough that fingers on and on with the most persistent devilishness, then you need a real cough medicine and the rAslest destroyer of tough old coughs is Bronchulins Emulsion.
 The cough may be so tantalizing that you can't sleep nights and your days may be filled with racking tor lure. yet that's just the kind of 8 cough that Bronchuline likes to tackle and conquer.
 Many times a few doses will stop the hacking and loosen things up and you can depend upon half bot tie to make a two months cough quit cold and disappear.
 Life is sweet--it will be much sweeter when you get rid of that old time cough.
 Ask Axelrod's Pharmacy or any wide awake druggist for bottle of Bronchulins Emulsion. There's no dope in it--or chloroform, and a couple of teaspoonfuls will usually end any ordinary cough.
