We can imagine but one thing
worse than trying to find THE
Lost Chord and that is attempting
to be 'in tune with the infinite" in
Gayvilla.
All the parents are young in Gay
villa, and all the children are brawny,
so that when a soulful spinster sits
down to read Trine's good book. she
finds things not dreamed of in his
philosopy.
self, the author says, or words to
that effect
"Baa-aa-aa-aw.' screams Willie, as
Johnny. one year older. bashes him
over the head with q stick.
Trying to be in tune with the in
finite under such circumstances be-
comes somewhat of task.
Ask mother, she knows.
Gayvilla is the healthiest cOmmu-
nifty in the world. ut is such a gay
little place." said one excellent lady.
mo old-fogies or any of that sort of
thing, you know"
going to write "The Secret Chron-
icles of Gayvilla." and then you are
going to read something. Until then,
the best we can do is just to dabble
around on the edge, as children do
at the seashore.
Dear old Gayvilla. In my dreams
1t always seems to be a roar ira la la,
Ia la la Ia, la. Ia, Ia, LAD with few
barking dogs, spark-fed radios and
lively parties thrown in for good
measure.
Everybody is so happy, and we are
right glad Of it. No one can ever get
us to admit that we have any desire
whatever to be in tune with the in
finite or anything else, except, may
be, station WRC.
Yet. sometimes, in the cleaning,
when the darkness is settling down
over our happy little community, just
the same as it is in Oshkosh and Ko-
komo and Mauch Chunk, we I'M
doubtedly wish we were not all SO
darn healthy.
Health has it's drawbacks. at least
in the United States. Hindoo yogis
seem to be fairly vigorous and yet be
able to sit immovable for huge spaces
Of time. American Indians have been
known to wait patiently for hours,
like cats at mouse holes, without max
ing a sound, and yet every one today
admits that they were among the
healthiest of peoples.
Gayvillans, however, find health
and noise synonymous. To be healthy
is to be noisy To be sick is to be
quiet. Since every one wishes to be
well. of course, every blessed soul
must be noisy The thing is as simple
as that. Healthy-noisy; ill-quiet
So the formula runs.
There is no escaping it--especially
if you are trying to De in tune with
the infinite, or something along that
order We would like to see some one
''go into the silence" as it is phrased,
in Gayvilla.
There amt no SIGH anfmule," as
the immortal farmer said when he
saw his first giraffe.
Similarly, it may be said. that there
is no quiet in Gayvilla. Gayvilla may
be defined as a happy. healthy COM
munity entirely surrounded by noise.
We love noise. We positively dOte on
it. We are never so happy as when
we are making it.
If we are between the ages of and
49, as many of us are, we have no
difficulty at all in making all the noise
we want to--and we want to make
lot Positively, life is action and ac-
ton is noise.
We possess infinite capacity for
noise making. Our ears are strong
ears and our eardrums are thick. The
precious wight who is not pleased
with cyyoet concord of lOIld sounds

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Starting Anew.
Soon we'll start all over.
When the Autumn days are done
And the bees have left the clover
To the starlight and the sun.
The Summer with the dreaming
And the doubts that gather fast.
Buried meath the snowdrift cleaning
Will defy the Wintry blast
Fervid dissertations
On topics all abstruse:
Angry demonstrations
Which end in What the use?"
Often seem appalling
And Cypress the weary heart.
But the katydid is calling
And we'll make another start.

Rack of the determination of the
dry leaders to give Senator NadS-
worth of New York the gate this Fail
is something more than desire 10
eliminate one of the wet" Senators.
They are thinking ahead to the time
when Senator Wadsworth may loom
up as strong contender for the Ike
publican presidential nomination and
for the presidency itself AS a. presi-
Dental possibility Senator Wadsworth
would look worse to the drys than a
three month drought to a farmer. If
they can kill him off this year, de-
feat him for the Senate and cause a
new deal in the Republican leader
ship of New York State. they figure
they will have accomplished some
thing. At the present writing. how
ever, it appears that Wadsworth's OPP
ponentS have a big' contract on their
hands. While upstate Republicans
are in very many cases dry. they are
also dyed-in-the-woo Republicans,
loyal to the organization. After Sem
ator Wadsworth has been renomi-
mated, as he surely will. at the Repub
lican convention in New York, Sep
TENDER 81. many Of these drys will
vote the Republican ticket and take
Wadsworth along with the rest. IT is
bred in their bone to vote Republican.
However. the efforts of the Repub-
licans in the Empire State TO be dry
up State and wet down State are
reminiscent Of the fate that overcame
Senator Pepper in Pennsylvania, when
last Spring 1t appeared to many of
the voters, that he was wet or dry ac-
cortling TO the part of the State in
which he happened to be. The situa-
ton in New York is not giving the
Republicans any great amount of joy
at the present time. Privately, they
admit that If Gov. Al Smith runs, as
he is expected to do, he will be swept
into office again. The governor takes
a good deal of pep" out of the Re
publicans even before they get started.
