Thinks yankee Doodle"
Sprang From Dutch

Cherokee, Iowa.-W. I. Endicott,
student of archaeology and of Ian
guages, believes that yankee Doo-
die" originated in the Netherlands.
He says the words of the song came
from "Yonk Heer Doodle" an old
Dutch air.
"Yonk Heer Doodle" Mr.. Endi-
colt states, "was intended as con-
tribution to annoy the yonk heers or
young lords. In America it is sup
posed to have been first rendered by
a British drum corps, largely for the
purpose of giving the American New
Amsterdam contingent a military
rating founded on ridicule. The
name yankee" is American-Indian,
a corruption of "Yonk Heer" by the
aborigines who inhabited the vicinity
of New Amsterdam.
"The Indians, accustomed to hear
ing the Dutch citizens greet each
other rs "Yonk Heer" arrived at the
deduction that all white men were
"Yonk Heer." Yankee" was the
best they could make it."

THE MILLIoNAIRE,s SECRET

To be millionaire, man must not
only get rich; he must be able to stay
rich. A certain well-known million
aire, when asked how he stayed rich,
said: ~ invest my money only in
sound, established companies"
That man has learned valuable
secret. But mans money, however
much he has, is never worth SO much
to him as his mind, his intelligence.
Has it ever occurred to you that
you should invest your intelligence
just as carefully as you invest your
money?
Why not invest your intelligence
in sound company by subscribing
to the Youths Companion? 1t is the
oldest magazine for young people in
the world-and nearly the oldest of
all the American magazines. 1t is

the past hundred years has written
at one time or another for the Com
paniou. Only this fall, for example,
the COMPANION published new story

ATLANTA ATTY. APPEARS
BEFORE U. 5. SUPREME
COURT in A. { L. CASE

Atlanta, Ga.-Robert c. Aston, of
tlanta, consel for the Atlantic Coast
he, has returned from Washington,
c., where he appeared before the
y. 5. Supreme Court in the argument
of the right of states to prescribe
cqu, pment for railroad locomotives
operating within their borders, there
being three cases, two from Wiscon-
sin and one from Georgia, before the
court.
The Georgia law requires railroads
to be equipped with automatic doors
to fire boxes, while the Wisconsin re-
quirement related to curtains for To-
comotives. The states insisted the
regulations do not encroach upon the
power of the interstate commerce
commission, while the Atlantic Coast
Line in the Georgia case, which Mr..
Aston handled, contended the entire
field was occupied by the federal
and at that the COM
mission ha dexclusive jurisdiction.
Mr.. Aston insisted the federal dis
trict court for Nortehrn George
should be supported in it's decision
that the Georgia law was an invalid
attempt to regulate interstate COM
merce.
The case has been taken under ad-
visement by the high court and a de-
cision will be rendered in due course
of business by that body.

WHo IS YOUR GOD?

At the Court House Auditorium
tonight at $500 O'Clock Mr.. j. B. Will
liams, of Brooklyn, N. Y, represent
ing the international Bible Students
Association, will lecture on the sub
ject, "Who Is Your God?"
1t is announced that the speaker
will discuss the words of the prophet,
in Exodus 20:3-"Thou shalt nave
no other gods before me"-and will
show that many people who desire to
worship the only true God, are un-
Willingly worshipping other gods. tie
will show from the Scriptures that
there is but one God; that he is a
living intelligent personality; that he
is wise, just, loving and all-powerful;
that he is the Creator of all things;
that he had definite purpose IN
creating, and that that purpose has
never been rindered nor inIerefered
with and is now nearing its consunr-
nation, especially as that purpose re-
lates to this mundane planet.
He will show that Gods purpose
is wise and loving one, and is en-
tirely consistent with the fact that
he has permitted evil for over 5000
years.
Many earnest, honest-hearted peo-
pie find it difficult to harmonic the
permission of evil with the Bible
claim that "God is love-" and hence
become infdel, or at least skepticai
as respects Gods Word. Many others
wonder why God has not used his
''all power in heaven and in earth"
to kill he devil, and reason that be-
cause he has not done so, he either
cannot or does not wish to kill him.
This lecture will throw flood of
light on these much-discussed points.
and will enable the honest seeker af-
ter truth to discern that Jehovah God
is great King above all other gods
and in every sense of the word
worthy Of the reverence and admira-
ton of all his creatures.
There are a great number of diff
ferent gods worshipped by men, and
a great variety of conceptions of the
on etru eGod, but only the true con-
ception makes God really worthy the
worship of all intelligent beings. 4

Random Thoughts
BY CHAs. H. JOSEPH

Jewish intolerance is just as unde
sirable as Christian intolerance. And
you may take my word for II that we
have plenty in our midst. Some Of US
do not approve of our neighbors' su-
perstitions and legends and myths
and what not that are bound up with
their creed and we usually applaud
Modernist Christian clergyman who
has the courage to attack the super
stitions Of his brethren. But on the
other hand our own group hug close
to their hearts all their own pet myths
and legends and what not!
I cempletely disagree with Rabbi
Elefant in his statement that "the
dietary laws are one Of the most i'm
portant institutions for the preserva-
ton ofJudaism and an essential guide
against assimilation" That is on a
par with the attitude of Orthodox
Christians who believe that every
Christian who denies that Jesus
walked on the sea of Gallilee will be
consigned to He'll. The fault with un-
bending Orthodoxy Of any kind is that
it is unbending. 1t is not pliable. 1t
still uses the Bible as an authority on
Geology. The result is that its follow
ers worship forms, and ceremonies,
and languages--in word externals
We find them in the Jewish church
as well as the Christian church. These
extremists who consider it a greater
sin to violate rite than a right.
I for one would feel very sad if I

served through adherence to the diet

ing of the real values in religion. !
