A letter from a reader says, Dear
Sir: Although perhaps a little tardy
I desire to comment on the manner in
which The Star and other great news
papers handled the election news. To
one who knows nothing of the iftrica-
cies of modern publishing, the feat
assumed the proportions of a miracle.
The work behind the scenes prior to
the election must have entailed incal-
cillable labor. / wonder If it would be
asking to much for you to publish
something about the pioneer papers of
America when the telegraph and news
gathering organizations we're unknown.
Thanking you, am, G. F. H"
Probably the question should be re-
ferred to our colleague, M. Haskins,
but in as much as the Sidewalks"
reader has put it to us we shall give
him a brief. though We hope, an ade-
Quate reply.
The first newspaper established in
America, according to the most au-
theLtic information, was published at
Boston, September IS, 1890. Its first
printing attracted the attention of the
colonial legislature, which declared its
publication contrary to law and charged
that it contained reflections of very
high nature Apparently the au-
thorities prohibited its further publi-
cation, for a. second number does not
appear to have been issued. Benjamin
Harris was the publisher and Richard
Pierce printed it.
The first regular paper published in
North America was also printed at
Boston. 1t was known as the. News
Letter, and its date September "a, 1704.

All may not be gold that glitters.
At any five-and-ten store one may pur-
chase a ring whose stone sparkles after
the fashion of a diamond. Which leads
us to the observation that not all cars
parked in a dark road contain petting
parties. Two young women and a
male friend, according to information,
drove to Maryland recently and drew up
at a particularly lonely spot. The girls
were sisters, the man, a friend Of the
family. Each time a strange machine
passed, the trio felt sense of guilt.
Finally they decided that as long as
others might suspect them Of petting
they might as well play the role. One
young woman sat In the rear of the
car and borrowed the male companions

preaching from the rear she raised the
hat and held 1t near her head. The
approaching headlights flashing on it
gave the impression that the party was
a foursone and that there was "boy

front.
How often we err in judgment. One

Whole skin Is Safe Barrier.

Dr. Alice Hamilton is today recog-
nized as the foremost authority on In
d,lstrial poiSons in the United States.
This distinguished physician Is a pretty
satisfactory answer to question one
sometimes hears even today, namely,
can a woman attain emine1ce in medi-
cal science?
Taking off with the acknowledgment
that Hamiltons believes and teaches that
such poisonS as lead, ben&ol or aniltn
derivatives such as phenylendiamin "a
for hair dye) and phenol may be alb
sorbed through the skin, I wish. to
quote a few passages from her work:
"The field which still awaits a thor
ough exploration is the pathological
physiology and chemistry Of lead poi
soning, the exact mode of absorption Of
lead. Much work has already been
done in this field. but With results
which are more or less contradictory
and unconvincing.
DR.. Hamilton covers the ground thor
oughly. She speaks Of tae work of a
French physician named Tanquerrel
who studied industrial lead poisoning a
century ago and has been called the
columbus of lead poisoning" Tan
querrel noticed that severe lead poison
| ing could always be traced to lead va
pors or emanaticns, and only the mild
est or slowest poisoning followed contact
with solid lead or lead paint. He tried
to settle the question by experimenting
on dogs and rabbits, but he could not
poison them with lead through the skin
and he was skeptical of the possibility
of lead being absorbed through the un.
broken skin Although the author cites
several other investigators who expert
mented with animals, and among them
some who believed they had proved that
traces of lead are absorbed through the
unbroken skin. none of these witnesses
can stand in court today, for none OF
them absolutely excludes the possibility

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November a.
HOLLYWOOD saw in the announcement 10
wed Of John Barrymore and Dolores
Costello Yesterday the elimination OF
one of the colony'S most stormy ro-
manceS.
When John Barrymore saw the little
blonde daughted Of the CoStelloS on a
Hollywood lot and singled her out, not
only for his attentions but for a role
opposite him in the picture he was TO
make, every would-be actress in Holly
wood and many established ones enyied
Dolores Costello.
When those attentions became per-
gistent and seemed TO be welcome to
his daughter Maurice Costello the vet
eran motion picture actor and father OF
the little beauty, raised his voice IN
objection, but his opp0slHon, politely
listened to, went unheededs h
Time went on-5o did romance. And
one day Maurice Costello, for 80 years
and more happily married and the mas
ter of his home, asserted his right as a
father and forbade his daughter to
see Barrymore The matter came to an
issue between Costello and his wife. To
his dismay. she sided with her daugh-
ter, and the father who had made the
grand gesture, Choose him or me"
lett the nome.
When the parents divorce came
Hollywood watched for a lessening Of
the romantic interest 1t was whis-
pered that the daughter would bring
her parents together again. But love
remained triumphant-there has never
been a lessening Of interest between the
two since the moment they met.
Dolores Costello's dressing room walls
have been lined with pictures Of Barry
more-the worlds most perfect profile,
reproduced with every possible lighting
and in wide variety of costumes.
Maurice Costello, rapidly grazing and
embittered by the signal failure of his
dramatic gesture, appears from time to
time in pictures, small parts mostly;
character roles or father or lawyer
Yoles-the usual thing for the actor who
has been years in the profession.
Once he occupied the niche in motion
pictures that John Barrymore now
holds Without stage experience and
fame such as Barrymore has. Costello
was the screens most romantic lover.
That was in the days when pictures,
still in their infancy were a distinctly
separate thing from the cinema of to-
day. s "a

One NEGRO in HEAVEN
MORMONS TELL PICKENS

put it: 81 am neutral" s,...s
Well, Satan ost---thenceforth to
be known as "The Devil" God won,
by the good help of the white folks,
no doubt. Therefore the Negro can
not become "real saint" he is still
somewhat neutral" He cannot en-
ter the Temple and he cannot go to
Heaven. Yes, only one Negro has
been known to get into Heaven in
the history of creation, and he was
the Body Servant" of Brigham
Young, the organizer of Mormonism.
You see, this Negro was a "good
servant" and Brigham Young, like
all good white folks" was somewhat
partial to "his Negro" and influ-
enced God to let him in.
And yet Joseph Smith the original
prophet" of Mormonism, said: This
is the only true religion.

While the Pullman porters fight

Randolph, thousands Of colored men
have filled out applications for posi-
tions as porters. Labor authorities
feel that such fact alone will allhy
any thought of replacing colored men
with white labor. It was thought at
one time that Filipinos were to take
the recalcitrant porters' jobs but II
seems that If the Pullman Company
is forced to change its employees on
the Pullman cars that colored labor
will be retained. If the twelve thou
sand Pullman porters now employed
have hopes Of finding jobs elsewhere
they will run into the same practical
difficulties that now face the colored
