THANKSGIVING"
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D., IL. D.,
Bishop of

the source of all our blessings. but COM
pels us to recognize the closeness of
the tie that binds us together In a
great fellowship. It is the family day
of the Nation. It reminds us that we
are bound together for better or worse,
for richer or poorer" and that what
affects one section for good or i'll
affects all.
1t is a. demonstrable fact that Moth
ing brings us closer together in great
fellowship than spirit of thankfulneSs.
When we are over-self-confident and
self-assured; when. in the language Of
the ancient Word. we declare, MY
power and the might of mine hand
hath gotten me this. wealth. we lose
our sense of interdependence one with
another and the deeper consciousness
Of our common dependence upon God.
How frequently in households where the
patrimony is dispensed to the children
do we find that it creates cleavages and
the loss Of mutual respect and affection.
Again, how frequently in households
where adversely and misfortune have
come do we discover the knitting of the
ties Of kinship and the evidence of
deepened affection. America on this
Thanksgiving day, in spite Of recent
happenings, must acknowledge with
dented prosperity. Widely scattered as
our peoples are, diverse as are their
interests, they are the sharers of a COM
mon bounty. Surely at such a time
and under such conditions 1t Is fitting
that we should unite to "offer unto God
thanksgiving The very act of cor
porate thankfulness tends to break down
that which all too frequently divides us
into groups and classes; it effaces dis
tinctions and makes of the Nation
itself one great family. Thus the spirit
of thankfulness becomes indispensable
to our security, our peace and pros
perity. We may worship at different
affairs, we may express our devotions in
ways familiar to us, we may have fell
lowships that have grown dear and
helpful to us, but on our national
Thanksgiving day we bow as one people
before the "Giver OF every good and
perfect gift" and with humility recog-
nize His bounty and our common
dependence upon His goodness.

A Revolutionary Airplane.

When plans were first announced for
the now famous Dornier D-OX, which
only recently established world record
for either heavier-than-air or lighter
than-air craft by soaring aloft and
cruising for an hour with 1859 persons
aboard, much skepticism was expressed
as to the success of so large plane.
But now fast on the heels Of the rec
ord-smashing feats of DR.. Dornier's
dream" of few years ago comes the
announcement of ship to be built by
American interests that will dwarf In
size even the huge boat that has been
making flying history over beautiful
Lake Constance.
According to present plans, the Amer
lean air liner will carry five hundred
passengers and crew of one hundred. II
will cost approximately f1ve million
dollars and its twenty thousand horse
power, it is expected, will drive it al
speeds upward of one hundred miles ar
hour. The builders have even gone sc
far as TO predict that great altitude
could be obtained with this revolution
airy boat and that in the upper strata
speed far in excess of that ever previous
Iy obtained by aircraft could be reached
and held during the journey between
London and New York.

Character Education.

A proposal to establish in the public
schools of Washington a course IN
character training" has been given IA
vorable consideration by the Board OF
Education.
This is a suggestion of more than
passing interest and Importance. 1t may
be the initial more Of the next great
advance in public education. The work
in the District schools, If 1t actually is
started in the near future, may be a
pioneer trail blazing for the whole coun-
try.
The development of character in the
past has been left largely to the home
and the church. 1t has been considered
largely religious function with which
the public school had no business to in
terfere. From the start, public educa-
ton has been subjected to the criticism
that it trained only the brain and body
and that in the very nature of things in
a country of complete religious freedom
it could do nothing more.
Yet certainly the building of char
acter is more essential to the individual
and more desirable to the community
than the training of the mind Intelli-
gence, after all, is a secondary factor
in the happiness and progress Of men
and women. 1t sirc;s almost to insignifl-
canoe in comparison with such qualities
as will, fortitu''%. courage. industry,
honesty and holEF-and both from the
ideaEstic and the practical viewpoint.
Can the public school enter this field?
There is good reason to believe that 1t
can and that 1t should. In the past
there has been much confusion concern
ing the essential nature of character"
Folks thought that individuals brought
their characteristic ethical reactions
into the world with them and that
fundamental changes could be brought
about only by religious training and
associations.
1t now generally is recognized that
this is not true. Religion will always
remain one of the most powerful "condi-
TONERS" of character, but technique
of character education is being devel-
oped, which cen be employed on an en-
tirely non-sectsrian basis. After all, the
fundamental virtues are practically the
same for all creeds. Courage, honor and
loyalty are non-sectarian.
Admittedly character education di-
vorced from home and church is some
thing new in the world, requiring some
readjustment of thinking regarding the
mechanism of the human personality.
But during the past few years great
progress has been made in certain ex-
perimental institutions. Public educa-
ton cannot continue indefinitely to ig-
more this progress.
At first the fork in the Washington
schools is likely to be cautious and con-
fined within close limits.
The day may be near at hand, how
ever, when honesty can be taught as
we'll as reading perseverance as we'll as
arithmetic, courage as we'll as algebra
or Latin.
We may be at the dawn of an era in
education when sturdy characters can
be developed as well as sturdy bodies
and all without any intrusion into the
province of the church.

EARTHQUAKE and Tidal Wave.

Reports Of the havoc wrought by the
earthquake and tidal wave on the
southern coast of the BURN Peninsula
are still incomplete, but estimates place
the number of persons swept to sea and
drowned at more than forty and the
damage in the neighborhood Of a million
dollars. Jutting out in narrow strip on
the coast of Newfoundland, BURN felt

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Candles.
With lamps the roadway is ablaze,
AS motor cars speed by.
And yet we turn to other ways
When wintry cheer draws nigh,
And make the feast a pleasant sigh
BY going back to candlelight.
We sing the song of bygone hours
And tell the fables quaint,
About the all-pervading powers
OF childhoods favorite saint
And all the world again seems right
When looked upon by candlelight.

WARNINGS ISSUED TO
help YOU PROTECT
AGAINST INFLUENZA

Many have found it expensive in
time and money to take chance
with what seemed "just cold"
With influenza sweeping the
country, city health departments
have published warnings that de-
serve the attention of sensible
people. These warnings are directed
against all unnecessary exposure to
contagion and outline some simple
methods of keeping resistance to
disease at the highest point.
Regular hours, exercise in the
open, plenty of water, good food,
fresh air-all of these are stressed
By officials. Keep the hands away
from the face. Wash always be-
fore eating. If buses, trolleys, etc,
must be frequented it is advisable
to take the greatest precautions.
Vapex viii keep you free from
colds and it will stop a cold at the
start. It is pleasant and refreshing
to use. Put drop on your folded
handkerchief every morning. Ere
quently during the day inhale the
vapor. It reaches the innermost
passages and will keep the head
clear at all times. One application
lasts all day, even increases in
strength for several hours. Get
Vapex from your druggist for 81,
in the little square bottle and the
package with the green triangle.
Z Each bottle contains so treatments.

FLOATING LABORATORY
ON THREE-YEAR CRUISE
Magnetic Ship Driven Far Off
Course by Storms.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Despite
unfavorable winds which drove her
from the course after leaving Easter
Island on Dec. IL, the nonmagnetic
ship Carnegie" reached Callao,
Peru, on Jan. IA. This announce
ment was made here today by the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
owners Of the vessel, through Sci
ence Service. This floating scien-
tif1c laboratory is now on three
year cruise during which most OF
the oceans of the world will be
visited.
Even though blown off the
planned course, all the desired OBJ
servations of the earth's magnetism
and electricity were made, Capt. ".
P. Ault reported. On the part of
the cruise from Balboa to Easter
Island and thence to Callao, twenty
three samples of the ocean bottom
were obtained. Those from Easter
Island to longitude 95 degrees west
proved to consist of red clay and
volcanic mud Captain Ault ex-
poets to sail from Callao on Feb. 3
for Papeete, Tahiti.
