Hoped to. Cash in by
Revelations"

WALTHAM, Mass, (FP) April g.
One red-baiter has crossed this big
Boston suburb off his list He is Ed
ward H. Hunter, Industrial Defense
Association payroller and longrdis-
lance expert on Bolshevism in Mexico,
Russia and other lands.
Hunter got the American Legion
post, the Legion auxiliary, the OAR,
the Boy Scouts and the mayor all ex-
cited about his revelations concern
ing the Communistic conspiracy which
includes Baptist Foreign Mission
Board, the w. C. T. U. and the League
of Nations.
Even the Legion.
The state American Legion, how
ever, has repudiated Hunter and in
formed the local legion to that eff
feet.
Thereupon all prominent members
of the welcoming committee found
pressing engagements elsewhere,
leaving politician to hold the bag
as chairman. Hunters appeal for the
formation of a local patrioteering
committee to chase liberals out of
town was squelched and even the con-
sentative Waltham press was obliged
to plead for fair play and fair speech.
Forum Planned.
Liberals are busy with plans for a
meeting to show up the Industrial
Defense Association and its activities
against labor legislation and trade
unionlsm. A permanent open forum
will be established, it is hoped, as the
result of the Hunter fiasco.

War Predicted With
England Over Trade

That the compe ition for worlt

Judge Daniel F. Cohalan, in a speech
before the Grammatical organization
at the Hotel Astor.
1--WE are daily taking away English
customers" he said. England is pri-
marily manufacturing country and
must depend on foreign markets for
existence. This means we are driv-

And to quote a recent editorial i'll
the San Francisco Chronicle: "Ab-
raham Lincoln was approaching so
when he made his house divided
speech, which first lifted him out of
the class of local politicians. FOch
was 81 when he was made chief Of
the allied armies. At the same time
Clemenceau, ten years older, was
the outstanding allied statesman.
Hindenberg, now in his eighty-seo-
ond year, is the rock of the German

are to believe press dispatches is

It can be admitted that the man,
whether he be thirty, forty-five or
sixty-five who has become old i'll
spirit and devoid of imagination
and enthusiasm for progress is un-
fit to be the leader of the youth of
the land, just as he is unfit for most
other things. In the same category,
however, we must place the mental
youth of twenty-five or tifty-flve
who takes on all the new things i'll
life whether it be social, psyche
logical or mechanical" without
weighing them in the light of ev-
perience and common sense. For
altogether too many of the new"
ideas which come to us are not new
at all, but old bunk dressed up in
new garments. The ideal leader of
the young of the land is the man
who, remembering his own youth,
its mistakes and its achievements,
can renew his youth in the rising
generation of today, entering into
its enthusiasm and its imagination,
and it's discoveries but bringing to
it, the light of his own experience
and the truths which he has absorb
ed because of his youth and his
later maturity.
Milford chronicle., 1928-12-07

For this reason it may be main
tanned that the philosophical COM
placency of the lack of imagination
and adventurous enthusiasm of
youth is not the result altogether OF
age as measured in years, but in
the physical and mental makeup of
the individual. For instance: Chris
topher Columbus was beyond the
deadline set by DR.. Marvin when he
set forth on the greatest adventure
in the history of mankind, and per
formed a deed which is admittedly
the greatest human feat in all his
tory.

NATIONAL NEWS OF INTEREST
TO EVERYBODY WHO READS
Written for this Paper by
FRANK p. LITSCHERIT

Every once in a while some more
or less expert authority gives us
data on the age at which men cease
TO De useful Ill certain of the actiVi-
ties of life. One of the latest Opin
ions of this kind comes from DR..
CIoyd Heck Marvin, head of George
Washington University, located in
the National Capital. Dr.. Marvin in
quoted by the Washington Star as
declaring that As is the age at which
most men have lost touch with the
new developments of the world they
live in ana are therefore untlt for
executive positions in which they
deal with youth; that the mental
atuCude of most OF the men and
women of forty-tive or older is unfit
for governing youth. DR.. Marvin is
quoted further as follows.
men at 40 have reached a phil
OsOphical cOmplacency out of har-
mony with the energetic enthusl-
asms of the psychological develop
ing youth. They do the work at
hand in an efficient manner, but
lack the imaginative and adventur-
Gus enthusiasm of youth. 1t is this
attitude which handicaps them in
their dealings with young people
even their own sons and daughters.
"The challenge of youth to mid
dle-age is a constant one. To meet
this challenge we must keep day
by day adapting ourselves to the
new in life, whether it be social,
psychological or mechanical, ever
renewing our youth and keeping
abreast of the generations we are
bringing up for leadership tomor-
row."

est and intelligent enthusiasm.
Milford chronicle., 1928-12-07

Picking a definite number of years
as the border line of middle age or
old age may be an interesting pro-
cedure but it is not exactly precise,
for the simple reason that old age
cannot be estimated in years. All
of us know or have known some
men of twenty-five who were aged,
who were entirely out of step with
everythingf, and we have known
many more of thirty, thirty-five and
forty in the same category. On the
other hand all of us are acquainted
with men of sixty, sixty-five and
seventy who are still full of the
enthusiasm of youth, who are more
in touch with real youth, its aspira-
tions and it's ideals than some of
the young-old men of thirty.

CHRISTMAS DAY

THROUGHOUT the Christian world Christmas
is celebrated in commemoration OF the birth OF
Christ although the exact date of that event is
not known Observance of Christmas was first
officially set for December 25th by Pope Julius
in the fourth century, and conceded with certain
pagan festivals which were held about the time
of the winter solstice.
Even to this day many Of the customs which
surround the Christmas season may be traced TO
pagan sources. This may be accounted for>by the
fact that early missionaries did not disturb the
harmless native customs of their converts, but
gradually merged them with Christian Observan-
ces The giving of Christmas gifts, the decoration
of holly and mistletoe, the feasting and other
features of the Christmas observance are OF very
ancient origin.
Christmas therefore, has double significance
the religious and the social-the latter perpet-
uating the customs of many peoples. 1t is perhaps
the most widely observed of any Of the years
holidays and it's social observance is not entirely
confined to adherents of Christianity.
No day is so closely associated with the spirit
of peace on earth, good will toward men,.
While there has long been a tendency to CONNER
cialize the Christmas season, it is marked py
much genuine charity and kindness, and the
CHEEKY greeting Merry Christmas" is usually a
sincere expression of friendliness and good wish

WHO USES BRAINS?

In recent address DR.. E. E. Free the eminent
scientist, hands rather hard jolt to certain pro-
fessons which are popularity supposed to embrace
a large share of the worlds intelligence.
Among those who may be said to be intelligent
at all, he places neutrality-suspicious. actors do
ctors and preachers lowest in the SCALE His rea-
son for this conclusion, Which he says is made as
a result of scientific research is that 'ther inte-
lligence gets no exercise; they learn to confuse
logmatic FEASIBILITY with truth"
Going further, DR.. Free declares that the class
of persons who use their brains to the best adv
ntage are the Observation-Disclosures, chef riggers,
precision machinists and the like. Slightly less
able than these engineers and technical men,
closely followed by business men, all of whom are
required to get the facts before reaching con-
clusons."
