School days, school days, sad
lest and gladdest of the year.
Saddest for children who, with
the first day of school, must
bid farewell to the freedom of
vacation days and gladdest to
mothers who then begin their
vacation.
It is hard for outdoor and
play loving boys to return to
school, but after a day or two
they find that school isn't bad
place to be after all. The three
Rs are not such bitter pill
when taken with liberal doses
of sports, recess games and
school-day' companionship.
There have been two revolut-
ionary developments in educa-
tionfree schools and popular
schools. Once parents could
not keep their children in sch
DOL. Now they could not keep
them out of school. The schools
not the children, deserve the
credit.
Mother breathes a sigh of re-
lief when school opens for then
she can pack the little Indians
off to school and enjoy a few
hours of peace and quiet, but
when the summer recess arriv-
es she will welcome relief from
those two "packings" a day.
Teachers who have had practi-
cal experience in getting a child
ready for school can appreci-
ate what they ask when they
urge their pupils to report each
session with clean faces and
hands, clean clothes, hair comb
ed and teeth clean.
Soon the great trek back to
the schoolroom will begin and
the shouts and laughter will
not be distinguishable from
those that accompanied the e.
lqually great exodus last spring.
You are not old. not as long
as you enjoy living.
You have to cultivate good
habits. The bad ones grow
wild,
|. Loves blind, but that should
not make a girl kiss everybody.
The best reflections come
from thinking instead of look
ing into mirrors.
There are people who never
lose an opportunity to enjoy
being miserable.
It's great life if you don't
believe in everything you see,
hear, think or know.
The incest thing about neigh
boris children is they never
turn out as badly as you expect

September turns its eyes away
from vacations and baseball to
feast them upon the gridiron.
Recent development of football
in colleges, universities, public
schools and athletic clubs has
made it a national sport where
once it was strictly a college
game. When football season O.
pens the whole nation is kin,
class barriers erected by educa-
ton are dropped and player
and spectator play the game
for all there is in it.

Flying To The Unknown.

After a weeks search for the
seven missing flyers out on the
wide expanses of the Pacific
navy officials said that the
$780, 900 fuel cost would be ig-
nored as the navy held it's sole
consideration in the. call of
humanity. The navy officials
are to be congratulated for
their stand on this point, and
the expenditure is justified
One could hardly imagine a
taxpayer offering serious OBJ
lection to the trying search.
But few governments are US
ually as solicitious to save the
lives of any seven people not
concerned in a sensation.
While it is not the issue
those flyers could have saved
themselves and the Govern
ment's 100000 by not start

} Beautiful T'!onen

Tie Chicago professor who
gained q little brief notoriety
by IFS declaration that 80 per
cent the women are homely,
probably is one of those odious
efficiency experts" They reck
on everything in percentages.
Whatever he is, he is woefully
off HIS base in making such an
assertion.
Ninety per cent, indeed! Not
even in Chicago, we. venture to
say,oowill so large proportion
OF homely women be found.
And in Clintwood not 80 per
cent. nor nine per cent no, it
cannot be conceded that even
one per cent of our women are
, hon&ly.
There are different standards
of Judging feminine pulchrit-
ude;. Turks and Eskimos are
SAID most to admire women
who are, let us say, plump, we'll
rounded, moon-faced. Others
prefer the svelt type. Ideas
concerning beauty vary.
The Standard dictionary, de-
timing beautiful says: "The
definition of beauty 'perfec-
ton OF FORM is a good key to
the meaning Of beautiful if
we understand form in it's
widest sense. = 1t. is submitted
That under the terms. of this
definition (if we understand
form" in its widest sense) all
women are beautiful. The dict
lonary goes on to say, however,
That there must be harmony
md unity, and in human be-
lngs spiritual loneliness, to.con-
stltute an object or a person
really beautiful"

Ihere is an axiom that oyst-

months of the year having Tho

are not informed whether there
is an affinity between these
months and oysters because
the letter "R" is also in the

axiom. However, it is neither

Plenty Championships
Left

All have heard of Lindberghs
flight to Paris, the English and
Catalina channel swims, Byrd's
North Pole feat, Babe Ruth's
batting average, the champion
pie and. spaghetti eaters, the
dancing marathons and the
man who stayed on top of a
flag pole for twenty days.
Thus the common rank and
file of us may think there are
no more world-championships
to win. But there are plenty of
them, many obstacles uncon-
nuered, much chance for orig
inal fame and worldwide rep
utations.
There probabuy are many
Clintwood boys and girls, and
grown-ups, too, who may want
to try their skill. And in view
of this we give below a list of
possibilities for championships
some of which, if accomplished,
would be good advertising for
our community and great pub
licity for the winners. Read
over these suggestions care
fully and pick your own stunts.
None of these has been COM

Ect always the Case

THE man who makes the
world laugh must be able to
laugh himself" said Gavin Nc
Nab, attorney for Charles Chap
lin in settlement of the comed-
ian's divorce suit in Los Ang-
|eles.
While the statement of the
attorney has a great deal of
truth in it, it is not always the
case that those who make peo-
pie laugh can laugh themselves.
The history of stage and screen
the lives of famous humorists,
the private lives of circus
clowns and others are often full
of tragedy. MANY a comedy
stunt has been played in front
Iof a heartache.
Life is not all roses for one
whose business it is to make
people laugh. 1t is often to un-
loosen the burdens of others.
But the show goes right on and
people laugh. The audience is
innocent of the lately received
telegram of sorrow, of DOM
este misfortunes, of financial
worries, of physical ailments.
The ability, under such circum-
stances, to go fright on with
the show, if not art, is at
least fortitude under strain of
human emontion.

Englishman Bitter
 To Foreign Legion

London, Dec. 30 tPl--John Harvey, the young Enslishman recently par doned by the French Foreign Legion after being sentenced to years im- Nrisonncnt for desertion, is quoted today by the Evening Standard as saying that he now has no illusions about the Foreign Legion"
 Scenes which I am told are in Beau Geste only begin to tell you what life is like" Harvey is quoted as saying. The French Foreign Legion IS a fighting machine and it is made to fight. It fights every- where France has any fighting 10 be done in her desert possessions, and it suffers all the time.
 T have been struck by officers and have been kicked while lying down with my hands and feet in chains. l have crawled about the desert with thirst that would all most break q mans heart: I wit messed scenes of such barbarty in French prisons that sem incredible. Now that they are behind me, do you wonder why I am so bitter about the Foreign Legion?"

BROWN GRID STAR
 MUST FACE COURT
Former Football Captain Arrest
 ed for Drunk Driving

Providence. F. l., Dec. 30 R- Roy E. Randall, 23. of 16 Pleasant avenue. Brockton, Mass, and cap- tain of last years Brown football team, must face the local district court on charge of driving an au- tomobile while intoxicated, accord ing to an announcement made by the Providence police commission to- day. Randall was arrested last night by the police and examined by a police surgeon but was later released to appear when wanted and the drunken driving Charge which was first entered on the police blot ter was later scratched out.
 Local football fans recalling the Bruce Caldwell incident where the Yale football star was declared in- eligible following an expose of his having played one game with Brown freshman by interests said to have been instrumental in securing Ran dall's release last night, today waged a campaign to bring the lat ter's case to the public's attention. The result was the announcement this noon by the police that a war rant for Randall's arrest had been sworn out and that he must face the court on the drunken driYjng charge.

NEW YORK READY FOR NEW YEARS
Night Club Wrecking Is New
 Weapon Of Dry Agents.

New York. Dec. 30 (UP)-WIth New York all set for it's greatest New Years eve celebration ;he pro- hibition forces hauled out a new and dangerous weapon today. The weapon was tried out on the fashionable night club of Helen 3ior- gan, pretty Broadway star, last night and today Helen Morgans club lay a mass of Nreckage, damaged, its owners say, to the extent of S75,DUu.
 All along Broadway today was passed a warning that the once beautiful rendezvous of Broadway night life was just an example of what may happen in scores of other smart places tomorrow night and thereafter.
 The raid on the Morgan club was the first in which dry agents took full advantage of the new legal weapon placed in their hands by the office of Prohibition Director Maur- ice E. Campbell.
 Brushing aside the Volstead law and the time-honored device of pad locking, the prohibition directors staff dug into old law books for the weapon. They found what they wanted in an ancient federal statute designed to stop 'moonshin- ing"
 Any person." the statute said in effect, "who is found guilty of pos sessing alcoholic liquor on which the United States internal revenue tax has not been paid. may be ar rested and the liquor, together with the property in the place where the liquor is found. may be seized.'
 That was the legal prop which supported the action of the dry agents last night in seizins-or rath- CT wrecking-the Chez Helen Nor gan and scattering it's socially prom inent patrons.
 There was an intimation at prohi- bition headquarters today that pad locking may be discarded altogether in favor of the new method of at tack.
 Instead of being able to move their clubs across the street while the padlocks were on the way from the prohibition directors office, the raided night club owners hereafter may find that they have nothing left to move.

KELLOGG EXPLAINS
Reports That British Government Objection 10 Americas Raising Battleship Guns Denied.

Washington, Dec. 30 R}-Publish-
 ed reports that the British govern
 ment was objecting to the raising of | the main battery guns on American battleships prompted Secretary Kel- | logg to depart from usual custom 1 today to authorize a directly quoted denial.
 My attention has been called to q press report stating in substance that the British government had elevated it's guns after the Washing ton treaty and then had objected to the United States doing the same, the secretary said. This is mis- take.
 "The British government informed the United States that 1t had not elevated It's guns and this depart ment and the navy department are satisfied that this is correct. The British government is not now ob- jecting to the United States gun ele- yaton.'
 The deficiency appropriation bill, recently signed by President Cool idge carried an item for elevating guns on American ships, provided President Coolidge should decide that such action would not violate the Washington arms treaty. The subject was debated at length in the house, where opponents of the pro- posal asserted gun elevation, giving a greater firing range, would at least bo contrary to the spirit of the treaty.
