Faces


Faces that would melt rock.
Faces that would stop clock;
Faces painted, faces white,
Faces dull, faces bright;
Faces hard, faces meek,
Faces strong, faces weak;
Faces rosy, faces gray,
Faces grave and faces gay:
Faces happy, faces sad,
Faces good and faces bad.
All these faces one may meet
Any day upon the street:
But no matter where you hike,
No two faces are alike.
And we show to near and far
By our faces what we are.

Deceased Publisher
Had Several Relatives
Living in HallOWell

The late Frank Munsey, the dis
posal of whose estate has created SO
much interest, had several cousins
in Hallowell at one time and there
are still relatives of his here. Arthur
]. Russell of the minneapolis Jour-
naP' sent recently to Hallowell
friend a clipping from a New York
paper concerning one of these Halo
well relatives of Munsey. The clip
ping reads as follows: "One of the
few known relatives of Frank Mum
sey, New York publisher. is John
Hopkins, a first cousin. who owns a
farm in the village of Dodge, Mass.
and makes his winter home at 207
Chandler street. Worcester. Mr..
Munsey's mother, Mary Jane Hop
kins Munsey. was a sister to Mr..
Hopkins father, Simeon Hopkins. a
resident of Hallowell Me-, so years
ago." MIR. Russell was particularly
interested in the clipping because he
had known in his school days in
Hallowell in the Page school, a Gene
Hopkins, and wondered what was
the connection, If any. of this school
acquaintance with Simeon Hopkins.
and what had been his history. Per-
haps the answer to the question lies
in the recollection of some Of the
Halloween citizens. Miss Belle Hop
kins, principal of the Page school, is
a present day relative of Munsey's.

Says Americans
Are Galloping to
Hell Without Heed

New York, Jan. 19.-(AP)-Noah
Webster Cooper, chairman of the Sab
bath Crusade committee of the Tennes-
see synod of the Methodist Episcopal
church, believes that the American
people will gallop to hell if they do
not stop Sabbath breaking"
Starting at his home at Nashville,
Tenn. where he is a lawyer and Sun
day school teacher, he rounded out a
tour of the country yesterday by fore
gathering here with Dr. H. L. Bowlby
of the Lords Day Alliance and Dun
can j. Mcmillan of the New York Sab
bath committee.
He said he expects to go to Wash
ington tomorrow and ask President
Coolidge's cooperation in getting leg
islation to stop Sunday trains and
newspapers.
Every one of our 100000 Sun
day newspapers is Satan's mbassador
and decoy to ruin America" he told
his northern associates. Every one
of our $500 trains is hurrying America
toward the hell of Gods wrath"
Mr.. Cooper, who participated in the
prosecution of the Scopes anti-evolu-
ton trial at Dayton, Tenn, considers
any Sunday business for profit as on
par with Bookkeeping for "churchmen
who condone Sabbath breaking are as
wicked in Gods sight as bootleggers,
bank robbers, adulterers drunkards
and liars, whom they condemn. Any
one who buys Sunday paper Is help
ing the devil to ruin America"
He declared that he had sought CO.
operation Of railroad presidents by
telegraphing them but got only one ia
vorable letter in reply from the presi-
dent of the Eris Railroad, who said he
would like to abolish all Sunday trains
because they lost money.

Brown Eyes Hold
Color the Longest

Chicago, Jan. 19.-(AP) - Brown
eyes are better than blue eyes be-
cause they last longer.
DIR. H. S. McCray of the Illinois
State Society of Optometrists said so
at a clinic for post office workers.
The brown irises operate like dark
curtains in shutting out light and in
protesting the eye. But the blue
eyes are usually an exception to the
rule that a perfectly normal eye will
not feel the need of glasses until 1t
is 40 years DID," he said.
No longer does the expert optom-
etrist confront his patient with a set
of printed cards in varying sizes of
type and require him to squint quiz
ically and then hand him a pair of
glasses, he demonstrated. Now he
uses the opthalmoscope, which guag-
es eye pressure, distance of sight and
visual defects and the transillumi-
mating machine, a first cousin" of
the X-ray, which lifts up the inter-
Tor of the eye socket and discloses
catarrhal infection or approaching
cataracts.

that he knew of the tragedy in his
friends life and when he arose to go
clasped in his rugged hand the hand
of his friend which already is begin
ming to be touched by the prison pal
lor Amundsen promised to come back
and see him again if Re returned
alive from his next polar expedition.
