NOT A CHANCE.

Attacking communistic doctrines,
Secretary of Labor Davis, in recent
address, declared that even a rational
American hobo is patriotic and "a
better asset to nation than grum-
bling and discontented communist" F"
Describing Communism as an at
tempt of the hand to stab the brain,
and asserting that the communists of
Russia want to annex America, Mr..
Davis said the time has come when
we must consider the activities Of
these leaders of Communism, for it is
they, and they alone, who threaten
to undermine American ideals and to
destroy all that America has stood for
since the adoption of the Constitu-
ton"
Brother Davis is needlessly alarm
ed. In a country where 110,000,000
people breakfast on bacon and eggs,
buckwheat cakes, stewed potatoes, ice
water, hot coffee and cold pie, there
is as much chance of Communistic
doctrines getting a foothold as there
is of Lydia Pinkham taking up Chris
tian Science.
If some intellectual and long-hair-
ed communist ever starts down Main
street at the head of an army of
Tousled Ones, they'll get as far as
Washington and Central avenues,
where Cornelius McGillicooly, the big
traffic cop, will elevate his great big,
red, moist, earnest hand.
Gentlemen" he'll say, ''this here
pee-rade will have to be postponed,
sine die"
what do you mean?" the intelli-
gent leader, with the long hair and
the discouraged complexion will in
quire.
II mean," Officer McGillicooly will
reply, "that yours under arrest for
holding a revolution without a IL
cense."
Revolutions are nothing out of the
ordinary in this country. We started
up business on the strength of one of
the classiest revolutions in history.
The only thing is we're fussy about
the brand we use. There have been
numerous attempts to introduce the
Russian variety, but it's never been
popular. There's too much soap and
not enough whiskers in the country.
Just so long as the ninety and nine
continue to use the amount of soap
that's manufactured at present, there
isn't much harm in the hundredth
ecrue abberant utilizing the soap box
as a pulpit for Bolshevism.. When
he's doing that he isn't stealing pen
nies from crippled children.
Students of political economy some
times evince alarm because the voters
step to the polls once in a while and
elect some wild-eyed theorist with a
squirting brain and ideas cut on the
bias.
The American people like to laugh.
When you see them shouting Glory,
Hallelujah, in the train of some near
statesman with Communistic leanings,
don't worry. They're electlng him to
Office for the same reason that kid
sends comic valentine to his school
teacher.

tables were we'll ladened with good
things to eat. Rev. F. L. Fultz, pastor
of the U. B. church, offered thanks
for mercies and the goodness of God
in permitting US to gather again and
for the food which we were soon to
partake of. After the dinner, which
was enjoyed by all, the president, Mr..
Hoy White, called the peope together
and after a few brief remarks intro
duced Rev. Fultz, who addressed the
gathering and gave a brief historic
sketch of the family and the part the
members have taken in the COM
mercial world and the part they had
in settling and clearing up central
West Virginia. The speaker also
stated that he had known the White
family for more than twenty-five
years and he could vouch for their
honesty, integrity and loyalty.
Hon. A. 7. White, of Mountain
Lake Park, then gave very interest
ing address. Mr.. White had the honor
of serving as Grand Master of Odd
Fellows of Maryland last year, posi-
tion of more than ordinary honor.
Mr.. Whites address was followed
by reorganizing the society. The old
officers were retained for another
year, the treasurer being the excep-
ton, as follows: President Mr.. Hoy
White, Grafton, W. Va; vice-presi-
dent, Mr.. Leroy White, Oakland; sec
retary, Mrs. W. NJ. Payton, Mountain
Lake Park; treasurer, Mrs. Alma
Bell, Mountain Lake Park.
The date for the next reunion was
set for the last Thursday in August.
At the request of Mr.. A. 7. White,
Rev. James A. Enlow offered prayer
in memory of those of the group that
have preceded US to the spirit world.
1t was the concensus of opinion that
this was the best reunion we have
ever held. COMMITTEE.

Juggling the Figures?

Motordom appears to be sorely In
need Of accurate statistics regarding
production of cars and trucks. There
| are two agencies at present concerned
with compiling Of these figures, the
United States Department Of Com
merce and the National Automobile
Chamber OF Commerce. but
Wall Street makes part Of its mil
| lions by the encouragement or dis
couragement which printed statistics
create in the investors mind. That
may explain the juggling of produc
ton figures.
A recent piece of news. credited to the
Automobile Manufacturers Associa
ton. mentions 449.173 cars and trucks
as representing the total of production
of motor vehicles for the United States
and Canada. This compares" reads
the item, with 449,677. in March and
359,976 in April. 1925. One of the N
A. c. c. reports for last years activi
ties in the industry places April, 1925
production at 439,117.
A mistake in the recent item? Per
haps. The figure for April 1925. &C
| cording to one of the automotive
trade publications, is 439.124.
Figures can be, and frequently are
juggled for a purpose. This Juggling
is done mainly by questionable stock
brokers who have something to sell or
who want to buy when others are
frightened into selling at a sacrifice.
This reflects upon the accuracy Of the
Chamber of Commerce and the De
partment Of Commerce. and points to
the crying need for stricter general
observance of accuracy in published
statements Of production figures.
To show production figure for
April last year that is much smaller
than it really was may deceive many
investors, and make them think there
has been a much larger increase in
business than actually is the case.

Senseless Horn Honking.

A favorite trick of Washington
motorists. and a thoroughly asinine
one, is that of blowing the horn vocif'
erously when it Is plainly evident
that all the horning In the world
won't remove the cause of the hold-up
or congestion. This honking. like
that CT geese, merely serves to more
completely befuddle the snarl and
the reason or reasons for 1t, or angers
them to the extent of staying put
just for spite. And the observer is
led to the conviction that such healthy
spite is fully justified.
wise intelligent group of persons
would perform in the manner de-
scribed, and yet 1t happens every day
many times every day.
Next time a big truck, not in the
least DESTROYS of making nuisance
of itself, but merely trying to execute
a legitimate mission, backs up against
the curb for a minute or so to dump
off a load of dirt, thereby holding up
a stream of cars, lend an ear to the
idiotic screeches set up. A perfect
babel of noise, and those making 1t
seem to do it just to hear their horns
blow.
The motorist who uses his head
even on rare occasions knows 1t is
psychologically true that the driver
of that truck will not hurry when he
hears those insistent and insolent
horns but, on the other hand, that he
will figuratively thumb his nose at
the stream of cars by taking his own
good time.
There Is a definite time and place
for horn use and the sooner the rank
and file of Washington motorists find
it out the more effective those same
horns will become.

To go on and tell of the things and
places of interest our own United

to see them would take many news
paper pages. Suffice to say that there
is not another nation under the sun
that possesses SUCH varied and inter
esting lot Of attractions. And to the
motor car must go the credit for bring
ing the realization of this fact home
to our people. Every State In the
Union holds something of interest for
the people Of the other States-for the
people of the world. let 1t be known
and as old roads are improved and
new ones built the people of Maine
are going a-motoring over them to
visit the people Of California; Oregon
folks will visit in the Carolinas; Min
nesota will drop in to say "howdy"
to Florida. And these calls will be
repaid.

travel was confined to the roads of

Commonwealths lying between the
Eastern and Western seaboards real

ishly to make the routes through their
respective communities attractive to
the tourist.
The town, county or State that isn't

ever. in practice this is a poor plan,
for. should the car start to coast
backward the wheel could be shaken
into a straightaway position very
easily. If the wheels point to the
curb, on the other hand, the car will
coast back few feet and then run
