YOUTH CONSIDERS THE ROAD

Great, heavy feet drag in the sand
And stir the dust. A winkled hand
Reaches for mine, / cannot see
The men who lead They speak to me
But cries Of murdered brothers shrek
Against the empty things they speak.
Where narrow roads wind up the slope
The air is clear with newborn hope
And high above the smoke-hid roads
shall see with heavy loads
Of war-men hurrying to death.
In those great heights men gasp for breath;
Hesitating above the rain
They stumble down the road again.
Smoke hides the way, cannot see
The road Men call and call to me;
Their old commands are false and hollow.
I'll climb the slope-I1l never follow!

The more we think of it the more we con-
clude that Governor Christensen is right in
opposing an automobile drivers license law. 1t
will not stop the occasional intoxicated driver
any more than the present law does. 1t will not
stop the child of immature years driving any
more than the present law does. The only thing
it will do will be to require every owner of a
car and several members of the family to secure
q license, which license viii be granted as mat
ter of course and we will be right where we are
today. A lot Of people competent to drive ear
will neglect to get licenses, and so just one more
law win be ignored. In this, as so many other
things, law will not stop the unlawful but
will simply bother the law-abiding. What is
needed is more law enforcement, not more laws.

in which we are living. Many people when they
borrow money at a bank do not figure on paying
it when due but when pressed usually want to
renew. Their earnings are used for buying and
the upkeep of automobiles and maintaining so
cial standing their financial condition doesn't JUS
|tify. The next legislature should pass law
providing that when bank is closed the man in
charge shall post within three days on the front
door of the bank list of all notes in the bank.
This will shut off lot of noise of those who tell
the creditors that they cannot pay because their
money is tied up in a closed bank, when the
truth is they are borrowers instead of deposit
make people pay their notes to avoid this unde-
lsrable publicity, when bank is reported as
shaky.' There is much truth in this statement.
Borrowers by inattention to their obligations
make nine-tenths of the trouble in the banks.
In place of planning to meet their obligations
when due, they take it for granted their notes
can be renewed time and time again. The bor-
rover who is right on hand and ready to pay
the interest and perhaps prepared to cut down
the principal little, when his note is due, is not
the man who makes trouble. It is the fellow who
seems to forget there is payday coming and
makes no effort to keep faith with his banker.
OF late this latter class of creditors seem to be
growing in members, but it is evident that from
now on they viii find it harder to secure accom-
modations than ever before, as hanks throughout
the northwest are being forced to restrict their
business dealings to those Who appreciate and
value their uedit. Herb Hot&1ing.

been an English girl, a Russian beac-

famous continental production COM
pany. She was working in "Should |

her to forsake her continental laurels

gary and arrived in this country a
little over a year ago. Her first pic
ture in Aferica was the Goldwyn pro
duction of "The Dark Angel" directed
by George Fitzmaurice. Appearing
with Ronald Colman, Miss Banky's
work was acclaimed by critics. Thru
the courtesy of Mr.. Goldwyn, the new
star was then loaned to United Ar
fists to play opposite Rudolph Valen-
tion in "The Eagle" Miss Banky's
acting of her role, upon presentation
Of this film was again much liked.
Miss Banky's work in her first Val
entino picture won her immediate sec
ond casting with that actor in "The
Son of the Sheik." As soon as the
last shot Of that picture had been
made, Samuel Goldwyn announced his
plans for coming productions to star
Ronald Colman and Miss Banky, with

on the famous Harold Bell Wright

Arcadia Theatre, Wilmington

d. w. Griffith, the greatest of all
masters of picture making, has come
forward with a startling modern ro-
nance in Sorrows of Satan," the
elaborate presentation which will be
at the Arcadia Theatre in Wilmington
beginning Monday, April 18th, for an
entire week. The story is from the
original romance by Marie Corelli and
Griffith has very excellently cast and
directed the tale. Adolphe Menjou
plays his Satanic Majesty and the
reason therefore is easily understood
when Satan is presented as a modern
mischief-maker, sauve, well-tailored
handsome man, Ricardo Cortez and
Carol Dempster are partners in the
love plot. The former plays as a
young author, fighting for success
and for the realization Of his love for
another young writer, the girl that
Miss Dempster portrays. Into their
lives comes a supposed Prince whose
influence over the youth is complete
when he gives him wealth and bride.
The marvellous Griffith touches as are
revealed in the various sequences Of
the performance, all lead to the eli
max and its revelation.

Steam Shovel at Harvard
Makes Seismograph Move

BostOn.-Harvard's seismograph, the
sensitive instrument which records on
an average one earthquake a week,
has been in state of unrest for sew
eral weeks. Instead Of recording a
fne line, the needle has been tracing
a heavy, jerky line.
This daily and almost continuous
Earthquake" was a great mystery
for a time until DR.. Kirtley F. Mather
discovered that It was caused by a
steam shovel excavating the founda-
lions for the new Harvard chemistry
building, near by. Every time 1t hits
q rock or the root Of tree the seis-
mOgraph records a violent "earth-
quake"
Incidentally, the operators Of the
shovel would be surprised to find how
close a check Doctor Mather can keep
on their work. He can look at the
days record and tell, to a second, the
time that the men started work in the
morning, how long they took for their
luncheon, and what time they quit at
night.

REMOVE metal NOTIONS
FROM WOMAN'S STOMACH
Surgeons Find 2so Pins and Needles
Rolled Into Ball Hanging
In Abdomen.

Newark, n. J-Ten ounces of metal
notions, composed Of 2S0 safety pins,
straight pins and needles, formed into
ball, were removed from the stOm-
ach of Mrs. Margaret BURY, thirty
| five years old.
Mrs. BURY, who speaks no English,
said that before she came to America
she worked in Europe as a nursemaid
Her employers did not feed her
enough to satisfy her appetite In
her mouth she always carried two or
three pins or needle. If morsel of
unguarded food came her way, she
would gulp it down before the master
or mistress caught her and had her
beaten. With the food unnoticed in
the excitement. a pin or needle would
slip down without pain. Two of the
straight pins had penetrated the walls
Of the patients stomach, according to
Drs. George Blackburn, Louis Davis
and Harry Seldman, who performed
the operation on Mrs. BURY at st.
Michael's hospital, after an X-ray,
and were hanging into the abdominal
ball, Doctor Blackburn said, were In
various degrees of cOrrOsiOn, although,
lie added, no poison had been COM
municated to the walls of the stoDl-
ach
According to the doctors, the ball Of
needles was compact and the size Of
baseball. They expressed wonder
that the patient had not died from
blood poisoning or peritonitis, and
We're surprised at her improved condi-
tion Immediately after the operation.
The weather bureau says that a
thermometer in the air gains and loses
heat in two ways-by conductiOn to
and from the air and by exchange Of
radiation with the surrounding OBJ
1ectS. If the thermometer is shaded
and screened from radiation from sur
rounding objects it will read the same
whether exposed to strong wind or
only a light breeze. Some circulation
about the thermometer is necessary,
else the gain or loss of heat by radia-
tion will be an important factor.
