MAY HE REST IN PEACE

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said:
"My trade of late is getting bad;
I'll try another half-page ADJ"
If such there be, go mark him we'll
For him no bank account shall swell;
No angel watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep,
Wherein no clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll.
And that the world may know its
loss,
Place on his grave a wreath of moss;
And on the stone above: "Here lies

A Lucky Lie

John Silver was surrounded by
friends. And how must friends be en-
tertained? BY some sort of story
surely. Silver thought for some time,
and began:
Il don't know if any of you knew
1t, but I am going to Mexico next
month"
''YOu are really going to Mexico ?"
"And why shouldn't / go to Mex
ico?" asked Silver.
In the manner of friends they re-
piled:
Every other man dies of malaria. +"
''It is simply unbearable with poi
gonous fleas"
''You have to go to bed with re-
-TOlver In one hand"
whats more, Silver, very few peo-
pie ever come back
And then Silver exclaimed, heartily i:
well, 1t certainly is a lucky thing

FAT GIRLS, READ THIS
AND TAKE HEART

1t is time for the plump girl to
take heart. The thin girl has been
fashionable for some time, but her
~inordinate desire to be a willowy
shadow may be her undoing. Ac-
cording to no less an authority
than DR.. L.. F. Barker, emeritus
professor of medicine at John Hop
kins University. the desire OF the
modern girl to be extremely and
f%ashionably thin regardless of con-
sequences is threatening her health
and happiness. And of course, with
out health and happiness she won't
have a thing on the fat girl.
Undernourishment, which comes
with the desire to grow thin, may
develop tuberculosis, or at best a
nervous breakdown according to DR..
Barker who says:
The ideal of the exa%ggeratedly
thin figure, dictated by the fashion
of the moment is sure to pass but
1t may lot go, I am afraid, until
it has been the cause of many trag-
edies.
1.-THE trouble with young women
today is that their ideal of what is
proper weight is all wrong. They
have developed an obsession against
being fat. They say to DOCTORS: "I
would rather die than get fat Some
of them starve themselves to the
point Of almost literally carrying
this out. Often already too thin,
they diet to grow thinner. By n
scientific dieting they fail to eat a
balanced ration, and thus predis-
pose themselves to food deficiency
disease. They smoke constantly,
especially during meals, to take
away the normal appetite they have
and by too many cigarettes increase
their nervousness.
These girls. the greater number
of them between sixteen and twenty
years of age, but many of the same
mind between twenty and thirty.
are trying to face a pace of life
that makes far greater demands on
them than 1t did on their mothers
and grandmothers with thin scraw-
%nybodies that do not hold the need
ed reserve of strength. What is
the result? Many of these young
women are mourning wrecked health
that not only forbids their continu-
ing public activities but that in
terriers seriously with their eventu-
ally fulfilling the responsibilities of
marriage and motherhood"

WANTS TO
TAP BIG HORN ROAD

The towns of Lowell and Powell
are much disturbed owe what they
presume to be the efforts of the
town of Greybull to tap the Sheri-
dan-Lovell road, which is about
completed, and which it is hoped
will bring a heavy flow of tourist
traffic over the Big Horn mountains
toward Yellowstone park. 1t has
been estimated that $4,000 would
be needed by Greybull to complete
a road up Shell creek, connecting
with the mountain route near Little
Badly. A subscription paper, cir
culated in Greybull, is said to have
netted $1,3OO.OO.
The Sheridan-Lovell road is the
handiwork of the boosters of Low
ell. The people of this progressive
little city have worked hard and
diligently for five long years to-
ward the completion of the noun
tain highway, and with prospects
of having it in first-class condition
for travel this season, they are
highly indignant of the machina-
lions of their sister town up the
river. Greybull, however, is mere
ly alive to the possibilities of a
tieup with the Sheridan road, and
a road now serving the up
per Shell creek section, perceive
that they can connect with the new
route with very little expense.

CHARGE 1T
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

HOWARD was broke, he said. and
needing money badly. 1t was not
only that he was broke, but he was
seriously in debt.
"Ihe trouble with me- he said, ais
mat my credits too good. All that l
need to do when / see a suit of clothes
or a silk shirt or a blazer in n shop
window is to go in and charge it. The
hardest thing for a young fellow TO
understand is that when he charges
anything it ultimately has to be paid
for"
When l was a young chap on the
farm 1t was the custom to have a run-
ning account at the grocery store In
the village and at the dry goods store.
When n one of the family wanted
some article of clothing, or mother
wanted groceries for the table, all we
had to do was to go into the store and
order it. Father paid the bill at the
end of the year.
The trouble with the system was
that the bill was always larger than
he or any one of us had suspected.
There was much discussion before the
bill was paid. There were many items
we had all forgotten about, and the
price always seemed larger when the
bill was to be paid thar when the
original charge was made. We came
to see that the merchant who carried
the charge never did so for nothing.
We paid In the end for more thar the
credit was worth. We learned that
the cheapest and the safest way Is to
pay cash for what you buy.
Baldwin wandered into my office a
few days ago so old and broken, so
gray n wrinkled, that 1 scarcely
knew him. He walked with a cane,
and he carried the stick not for show,
but because he needed to zeal his
weight upon it. And yet Baldwin was
not really an old man. He had been
a gay youth prodigal of time and
money. He was strong and healthy
and prided himself tina he could stand
any sort of physical and mental dissi-
patton. He worked all night often, he
ate more than was good for him; he
smoked and drank heavily; he could
get on with very little sleep, and he
seemed for years to show very little
i'll effects from his uncertain habits.
1t was only another case of running
a charge account, however. Nature
always asks for a inal settlement in
such cases, and she piles up compound
interest. Baldwin was only paying his
charge account which had been run
ming for so many years.
Gregory in his Junior year was hav-
ing trouble with his studies. He
worked harder than he had ever done,
he admitted, but he was not getting
on. The college was getting more
rigid. he claimed, the instructors were
piling on the work as never before.
The real facts were that Gregory was
only settling his charge account--with
interest as always. He had loafed
during his first two years, he had
charged his intellectual accounts. and
now he was having to carry himself
while paying the old debt.
1t is so always. Whatever we charge
mental. moral, or financial, we shall
ultimately have to pay with added In
terest.

For Drastic Action

CANTON, Ohio, Aug. "a
(P)-The axe which yesterday
cut down three of Canton's Of

WELD it still further within
the next few days.

he fired Brice Jansen and
John Burris. two of the three
members of the civil service
commission.
The deposed chief has right Of re-
dress before the next civil service

Melbourne and Charles Flory, ap-
pointed by the mayor yesterday, and
James Allardice. another Swarts ap-
pOintee. who previously voted e
oust Lengel Jansen and Burris at
hearing against the chief last
spring voted for reinstatement. MeIz-
bers of the police force other than
Lengel are understood To be in line
for the preferment of charges at an
early date.
The dismissials are either the out
growth of OF have been influenced by
the investigation INTO the murder of
Don r. Mellett, Canton publisher
and the inquiry into the alleged
liquor conspiracy from which the
murder plot es To have been the out
growth.
Mellet editorialIy had vigorously
attacked Lengel and had followed
with attacks on Jansen and Burris
when they failed TO vote for the
chiefs removal. Lengel was sus-
pended 30 days ago by Mayor
Swarts when he believed the police
inquiry into the Mellet murder mys-
terry, then eight days old. had failed.
Among the charges preferred
against Lengel last night WAS one
that he "bungled" the murder in

Lengel is expected to carry his
fight To the commission and endeavor
to show that members of the police
department did not receive cOOpera-
tion from the Meillett family at the
time of the murder. Police depart
ment records show that the officers
were not called until half an hour
after the shooting occurred.
Other charges against Lengel are
that he has been derelict in his du-
ties, particularly in having counten-
anced bootleg activities and having
maintained too intimate contact
between the underworld and the po-
lice department.

its declaration yesterday that th'
situation has reverted to the same
status a. before the conference
Saturday night between President
Gales, Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz }
Flores and Bishop Diaz of Tabasco
The supplemental statement re-
ferred 70 the "cordiality and frank
ness" prevailing Ut Saturday nights
conference and declared that the in
terview gave hope 70 all the world
that when future serious difficulties
are presented they can be resolved
with much benefit 10 the nation
through easy understanding between
the government and the prelates."
Reiterates Stands
In its statement early yesterday
the episcopate reiterated its stand
for the abrogation Of the religious
laws which il regards as destructive
10 religious liberty. Bishop Diaz
said that this statement, which also
stated that religious services would
not be resumed for the present. was
considerably influenced BY one at
tributed TO President Gales to the
effect that III priests returned to their
churches they must do 50 subject 70
the law.
This the episcopate interprets as
contrary to President Gales assur-
ance. which the church said was
given Saturday night. that the regis
tration Of priests under the law was
merely for administrative purposes.
Want Adequate Promises
The Interpretation placed dsupon the
developments of the last few days by
those in close touch with both Cath
ollie and government leaders, Is that
statements issued by the episcopate
after Saturday nights conference
mad aroused fear in some Catholic
circles that the church might be
placed in AL attitude of yielding or
resuming services without adequate
or sufficiently definite promises by
the government. II is felt that this
fear resulted in the issuance Of yes
terday's statement which threw cold
water on the idea Of a speedy peace.
NHt
statement referring TO the possibil-
ity of future settlement l. con
strued a. intended TO leave the way
open for conferences with President
Gales If developments should JUS
tify them.
Meanwhile the episcorate II con-
sidering plans for campaign to
bring about amendment Of the re-
ligious clauses Of the constitution
by congressional. action. The League
for the Defense Of Religious Liberty
has taken the position that it will
not lift the economic boycott until
these amendments have been effee-
ted or until the religious regulations
have been modified or abrogatd.
