The boys in the Manual Training
classes of the high school, under
the direction of Mr.. Ellis, are be-
ginning to make their work mean
something. When visited and asked
what they would do with the things
they made, three-fourths of them
said they were going to use their
productions as Christmas presents.
When the boys experience is con-
sidered, their workmanship is ex-
cellent. Among the things under
construction are: Red cedar chests,
large and small; clothes trees, book
ends, magazine stands and smoking
stands.
AS has been customary for the
last three years, a Girls Glee Club
has been organized in Milford H. S.
for the school year. This year the
number of members has been in
creased to thirty-eight, this being
the largest number ever in the
club. At the present time, the club,
under the direction of Miss Eiler, is
for a Christmas program.
1t has not been definitely decided,
but it is thought that the program
will consist of Christmas play and
The singing of Christmas carols.

Every boudoir a bower of beauty
such is the sentiment which now
prevails in the home. Wherefore
tits not to wonder, when milady

she is prone to buy boudoir access

guile her fancy. You may be sure
that these exquisite Marie An

fascination to every woman.

Mrs. TAGGART found, the day be
Ore she was giving her luncheon for
the Allied Charities committee, that
she couldn't have it at home. The
question then rose, what should she
wear when she entertained her guests
at the towns daintiest, freshest res
taurant? Her new surplice-closed
frock with it's vestee front and its
slenderizing lines was perfect, made
of silk crepe and so we'll cut that it
needs no trimming. The skirt has two
inverted pleats attached across the
front in a curved outline. Tight cuffs
with sleeves that flare above them
and belt slipped through two bound
slashes in the front and buckling at
the point of closing finish this gown
which will lend poise to the most
Hurried matron. A vestee of geor-
gette or lace may be added to a silk
or satin crepe dress in a harmonizing
color. For a cashmere or other light
weight wool the vestee could be of
satin or crepe de chine to match or
harmonic. Copyright. 1927. By But

It's Easy
The French are angered at seeing
Americans come to Paris, take out
a residence, as required by law,
through the simple process of apply
ing for a police identity card and
day or two later filing suit. Law
yers can be found who will take
complete charge of the case for a
fixed fee of from $500 to $4,000, leav-
ing the person seeking a divorce
travel
Often they are not even present
when the cases come before the
court and seldom more than three
months pass before the mills grind
out the decree. On the other hand,
French couples complain that
often they must wait two or three
years and that the courts do not ex-
tend to the French the favor they
give foreigners of granting DEGREES in
all uncontested cases.
During the last year there were
nearly two thousand divorces filed
with the French courts by foreigners,
with the American colony leading.

They Say


Herbert Hoover, one of the
really great executives of the
United States, and a man who
will command the most minute
respect and serious consideration
of every voter in this cQantry, if
he decides formally to make a
race for the presidency, advocates
winter building as a boon to in
+ dustry.
Hoover. since he first gained
prominence as a builder and cap
tain Of industry, has been noted
for his cautiousness in giving
opinions or making forecasts. His
vision can be relied upon; his
foresight is unquestioned.
He sees definite trend toward
utilization of the winter months
for construction of every type of
building, which is a good sign
that our business men are alert to
the needs Of people. 1t is a well
come sign to men Of all trades
and industries. The time is past
that when winter comes we think
only of a season of idieness and
Willing away the long hours be-
side a red-hot stove.

Soviet Leader Dies

Only a short time ago, the
name. Of Gregory Zinnoviev was
of such Importance that even its
unconf1rmed presence on a bit of
propaganda proved enough to
wreck British government.
Today, M. Zinnoviev knocks
vainly on the door of the Com
munist party for permission to
enter.
Not only that, but he pleads
repentance for past sins as he
knocks, and promises to be good
if readmitted-a pathetic figure
on that stormy strand Of revolu-
ton and theory, where those who
have not sense enough to compro-
mise with the tide are doomed
to be tossed about on it's whim-
steal and shifting current.
AS Stain says in so many
words, zinnoviev and his like are
dreamers. They lack power to
learn by experience, to modify
their ideas in accordance with
what experience reveals, to aban-
don convictions that are found
impractical, to admit mistakes
that have been proved.

CsheIbyviIIe Republican,

r. Earl Peters, chairman Of the
Democratic State committee, de-
hvered an address Thursday in
Connersville before a meeting of
his party men Of this district in
the course Of which he said:
I'm my opinion, it is not
enough for us to diagnose the
criminality and shortcomings Of
the opposition, nor predicate a
victory upon its ruins. Our pro-
gram should be so manifestly
constructive and sincere that at
once voters Of all faiths will be
attracted to its support.
The Republican party managers
and the Republican nominees in
the coming campaign would fail
short If they did not meet the
Peters issue fair and square. The
Republican party will be place.. on
the defensive. no question about
that. but it has nothing to fear
and can carry the fight on official
performance of elective State Of
f1cialS. No reflection is cast against
the manner in which the business
of the State has been conducted.
The constructive policies have
been well directed and executed.
Every State official has conducted
his Office within the appropria-
ton made by a nonpartisan board,
each and every one turning back
into the treasury a large amount
of money, every cent Of which
could have been legally used. The
State tax levy has been reduced
5 cents and there is sufficient
surplus to properly conduct the
business of the State. On this
record the Republican party and
the State officials have nothing
to dodge or to apologize for. Mr..
Peters plank should be adopted
by the Republicans.

Humility

Man boasts he has conquered sea, land and air.
Natures forces have been harnessed to do his work
And to provide him with comfort and luxures. He is
monarch Of his universe.
The sea swallows the submarine S-4 and holds it
fast to her bosom Storm-whipped waters defy all
mans devices and all his knowledge Of the sea, gained
in the centuries since the first small boats ventred
forth from the inland sea.
Across Europe nature sends winds and snow and
biting cold before which man cringes and is power
less. Vessels at are tossed about like matchwood
Belgium is colder than for fifty years France is ice
bound. Germany suffers
In far-off Asia the earth runbIes and shakes. and
a comet flashes across the sky. Natives there less
sure than their white brethren of their omnipotence
bow in fear Of this power greater than themselves
Nature has her own methods of keeping men
humble.

Recruit for Wet Army

Assuming that the Volstead Act
caused his crime, Mr.. Remus will
devote the rest of his life to its
repeal, provided he can prove
himself sane as the Ohio law re-
quires.
No matter how others may feel
about it, he looks upon this as a
simple matter, and is probably
right.
The chances are that he will
experience no greater difficulty In
convincing the Probate Court that
he is sane than he did convincing
a jury that he was insane.
This being so, the advocates Of
modification or repeal of the Vol
stead Act can look forward to
gaining a new and important re-
cruit.

The acquittal of George RemuS
comes as a peculiar climax to 3
peculiar career.
According to the mans own
story, he made a fortune by vio-
lating the law, was robbed of 1t
while in Jail, went temporarily in
sane when he discovered what he
had lost on getting out and shot
his wife.
He says that prohibition ruined
him, which is in strict accord
with the newer theory.
An old-fashioned person might
argue that Rehnus did not have to
become bootlegger because Of
the Volstead Act, but such a view
has gone out of date.
Modern philosophy teaches that
environment makes the individ-
ual, that he is a machine, q crea-
ture Of circumstances, and that If
he goes wrong some condition is
responsible.

LuSitania Claims

1t is gratifying to know that
the Government has at last found
time to take up the Lusitania
claims with the definite idea Of
settling them.
1t was known all along that
Germany could not pay, except
on the inStallment plan, and that
if the heirs and defendants of
those lost on the Lusitania were
to receive any real cash, the
United states would have to put
it up.
The speed with which govern
mentS can move when it comes to
waging war and modifying armies
stands forth in strange contrast
to their slowness in compensat-
ing innocent bystanders.
