Does Your Boy Go to
Church?

Theodore Roosevelt was church
goer. His reasons may not pretend
to be the highest of reasons, but they
are worth reading and remembering
when the question arises as to wheth-
er the boys should go to church or
stay at home. They are as follows:
l. In this actural work church
less community, a community where
bows have abandoned and scoffed at
or ignored their religious needs, is a
community on the rapid down grade.
2. Church work and church atten-
dance mean the cultivation of the
habit of feeling some responsibility
for others.
8. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from 9TH
er holidays in the fact that there are
fifty-two of them every year. There
fore, on Sundays go to church.
a. Yes, l know all the excuses. l
know that one can woship the Crea-
tor in a grove of trees, or by run
ming brook, or in mans own house
Just as we'll as in the church. But l
also know, as a matter of cold fact,
the average boy does not thus wor-
ship.
S. He may hear good sermon at
church. He will hear a sermon on a
GOOD man, who, with his good wife,
is engaged all the week in making
hard life little easier.
6. He will listen to many take
part in reading some beautiful pas
sages from the Bible. And if he is
not familiar with the Bible he has
suffered a loss.
T. He will take part in singing
some good hymns.
| s. He will meet and nod or speak
to good quiet neighbors He will
come away feeling little more char
itably toward all the world, even to-
wards those excessively foolish
young men who regard church-going
as a soft performance.
9. 1 advocate a boys joining in
church work for the sake of show
ing his faith by his works"

Mary Brian Started
Trouble for Buddies

A woman started it, and here is
one case where she starts something
she can't finish.
In Behind the Front, produced
by Edward Sutherland for Para
mount, Mary Brian gets Wallace
Beery, as Detective Riff Swonson,
and Raymond Hatton, as Shorty Nc
Gee, burgler, to enlist in the army
during the hectic days of 1917. And
she does it by vamping each of them,
unknown to the other, just in order
to fill a quota of % men. For her
father has promised her-thinking
she can't do it--that if she enlists 25
men, she can go to France as war
worker.
Beery and Hatton, enemies in civil
life, are buddies in the great A. E.
F. in France. They're in company
commanded by Mary's brother. Each
secretly believes himself engaged to
Mary.
thrown into JdH
Of course it doesn't take very long
for them to get thrown into the
guardhouse. Each applies to Mary's
brother on the ground that he's a
prospective brother-in-law. The cap
tain goes right to Mary and tells her
to set them right. But meanwhile
Hatton's old profession comes in
handy. He picks the lock, they out
wit the M. P.'s and take refuge In
a French buvette, presided over by
a pretty barmaid There they dis
cover that each is in love with the
same girl. They start to fight, but
compose their troubles over too
many glasses of "vin blink" So
when they stagger out, they seek
convenient place to sleep-and find
it in an army truck. They just push
out a couple of baskets, and fall
asleep.
And the truck goes to the front!
Beery and Hatton don't look ike
"chow" to a bunch of hungry dough-
bows in the front line trenches, and
the pair make their getaway, only to
find that, instead of running to the
rear, they are out in No Mans Aand.
The ensuing scenes are WOW.
Tt is one of the funniest sequences
ever filmed in motion picture history
How it ends, and how Mary Brian
gets out of the tangled web of love
affairs she has spun during her en-
listment campaign, forms decidedly
unusual finish.

from Hugh Wiley's Saturday Evening
Post story, "The Spoils of War"

SAVE THE PICTURES

The federal public buildings commission
should waste no time in accepting the offer OF
the moving picture industry to place films OF
historic value in the new national archlves
building to be erected in Washington. Mega
tives to be preserved would include those OF
such events as the signing of the Versailles
treaty, presidential inaugurations, and the hrst
air plane flight.
There can be no serious question of the value
of such records, nor of the Importance OF pre-
serving them while the opportunity offers.

Club Facing Bankruptcy

The Maternity Club, of Chicago,
has reached it's maximum number of
100. 1t has also reached and barely
weathered crisis in it's finances. The
plan of the club is to enroll its men,
bers with small initiation fee of
81 and dues of five cents week.
Every birth to club members gives
the mother an award of'$25 from the
club treasury. Eighty benefits have
been paid in ten years. But the last
year recorded fourteen of these and
a double benefit was won for the
third time in the existence of the club
by one mother who has had the rare
fortune to present the world three
sets of twins. Her offer to withdraw
from the club and not embarass them
with further payments was met with
hearty refusal on the second occasion
and so she was eligible again on the
third advent of twins.
The club uses some of it's funds for
occasional banquets.

Protecting School Zone

The portion Of the Dixie Highway
which passes through the city streets
of Macon will probably be routed in
different way and as soon as the
markers can be changed. The state
highway department and the city of
Macon have agreed upon this change
in the interest of the safety of school
children who by the old route have
to reach two of the school buildings
over this highway The contemplated
change does not lengthen the route
but avoids the passing of these two
school buildings.

Philadelphia Record
Here is betrayed misconception that is
popular with many Northern newspapers and
persons whose impressions of conditions in the
South have been formed from distance. A
great many Northerners do not know it, but
there is no prejudice against Republicans in
the South. Whatever of that spirit once may
have existed has been lived down. The South
has gotten over it. A Republican in South
ern community is not held in less esteem than
would be if he were Democrat. He votes in
Democratic primaries when local contests are
being decided, his only obligation being to sup
port the nominees, and his right to vote the
Republican ticket in presidential elections is
not questioned.
Some Northern people have done foolish
things in Southern communities, just as some

get discouraged if you are a bit awk7
ward in feeding-in clothes the first
time you try your hand at ironing.
1t generally is case of stage fright
Electric sewing machines are just
like the old family heirlooms-except
that the hard work of pedaling is
eliminated. So don't blame the cleo
trio motor if your thread breaks and
your stitch is uneven--just make sure
that you've threaded it according to
Instructions and that yori tensions are
right. And don't start off at. full
speed-remember controlling the speed
of your sewing machine is just like
operating an automobile and you know
what would happen if you stepped
too. hard on the accelerator.
An electric hand-iron is an accepted
necessity in the majority of wired
homes-and yet many people unknown
ingly disregard few dont.s that would
save them many petty annoyances.
Don't disconnect the iron at the light
socket or convenience outlet--always
discoinect by the plug at the iron it.
self-unless there is switch in tile
plug or on the cord. And doHf
neglect to use the stored heat-ieave
some of the smaller pieces until, the
last and then iron without the current
on. You'll find your iron plenty hot
enough to iron surprising number
of handkerchiefs or silk garments.
Percolators are well protected
against injury from absentminded
users-but on general principles don't
start to pour coffee until you've turned
off the current-and don't ever i'm
merse your percolator in water. Dos,t
forget either that scalding out your
percolator with boiling water and
soda every once in while will keep
even the narrowest part of the nozzle
clean and sweet
And the biggest Don't of ALL
don't be bashful about asking your
electric dealer or your central station
or the manufacturer of your particu-
lar appliance, for suggestions and adj
wise ION the care and use of these
labor-savers. a

WEATHER CONDITIONS

The cause of the rather
rapid fall in pressure over
the southwest, noted yester-
; day, is now made evident by
the presence of a disturb
ance of moderate intensity
: off the coast of Texas. Ex-
' cept the west Gulf States
pressure is high east of the
: Rocky Mountain plateau
: with the maximum resting on
; Ohio.
Within the last "a hours
: there were showers over ex-
: treme southern Florida, and,
under the influence of the
disturbance off the coast of
Texas, there were rains in the
west Gulf States, and in the
southern and western por-
: tons of the central Plains
: States. Heavy rainfalls oc-
: Cured at points in Texas.
Temperature has risen over
: the northern Plains. upper
: Mississippi Valley, and upper
: Lake region. and it is warm
: err over the southern Appala-
chan highlands: elsewhere
: the thermal changes were
slight.
Moderate to fresh south
easterly winds are looked for
tonight and Sunday over the
Florida Keys.
