THINKING MAKES 1T so
ct HERE is nothing either good OF

81" HERE is nothing either good OF
said Hamlet.
In certain sense these words are
Thinking makes it so"
Thoughts are the determlnative fac
tors in character. man Is what his
thoughts make him. "As a man think
eth in his heart so is he" A morose
disposition is attributable to a wrong
attitude of mind toward life. Pes
simlsm is only a point of view,
state of mind. Things and conditions
are as you see them. What you see 10
the world without Is but reflection
Of the world within. Yes, Thinking
makes it So"
The statement however true states
only partial fact or what might be
called relative truth. Like all gen
eraIities of this sort it is true only
under certain conditions. For Ia
stance, no amount OF thinking can
change the fixed laws of the cosmic
world, and no thinking can make "a
wrong act right. Much of the theoriz-
ing today regarding the sex problem,
the altered moral standard, compan-
lonate marriage and the like express
only points of view. AS no amount
Of thinking can upset the settled order
Of the material universe, so no amount
Of thinking can destroy the established
order of the moral world nor defeat
the moral purpose of life. While
thoughts do determine character they
do not determine the moral norms
which have been definitely fixed long
before we ever arrived on this planet.
Much of this thinking boasts OF the
claim Of originality. But originality
demands that thinking take place
within the bounds of reason When
ever we cross the border of reason We
become irrational and irrationality In
its extreme form is insanity.
1t is true, Thinking makes 1t So"
but the kind OF thinking determines
the question at issue. Good thoughts
make good lives; evil thoughts make
wicked lives. Thoughts determine dis
position, character and destiny. Yes
Thinking makes it So"

openers declaring their intention to
join, the organization to be active

labor" TRIBUTE
TO WARREN GARD

In its issue of last week,
Labor" a national weekly
newspaper published at Wash
ington, d. c., in the interest of
the railway brotherhoods, paid
the following tribute to Hamil-
tons late distinguished citizen,
former Judge and Congressman
Warren Gard:
Death claimed another distin-
guished son of Ohio last week
when Judge Warren Gard died at
his home in Hamilton.
Judge Gard represented the
Third Ohio district in the house
OF representative for four terms,
from 1913 to 1921.
Children loved him and men
trusted him. Although he clung
tenaciously to principle, he had
the gift of fighting without of
Tending. Thus he walked a
straight path and yet was easily
one of the most popular men in
the house and one of the hand
soonest.
"He helped put through the
first federal child labor law and
railroad workers will remember
him as one of the group which
fought the h-Cummins bill
on every roll call.
"That sounds like ancient his
tory now, but it required courage
in the reactionary days of 1920
to say No to the most power
full lobby that ever operated in
Washington. Warren Gard did
it with a smile He was just
built that way.
AS Marion Reedy once wrote
of another brave gentleman:
None was more fit to pass
unchallenged through the gate
and stand beside the Throne

activities because of i'll health. David
Dubnisky is acting president. Mr..
Schlessinger's enforced retirement is
the result of long ana successful

health, although that international

JOBS SCARCE FOR
MOVIE EXTRAS

Los Angeles, Cal. (ILNS) Why
movie extras don't get rich was ex-
planned by viii j French director
of the California department Of in
dustrial relations, at recent meet
ing Of the governors council. Mr..
French reported that out of II 1000
movie extras registered in Los An
geles last year, an average of 1856
worked each day for an average daily
wage of 1884. Only 1873 men and 81
women worked more than two days
week.
Mr.. French's report follows:
"There are II 900 extras listed by
the Central Casting Corporation in
Los Angeles. This organization has
booked the extras for nearly four
years past. In the early days of pro-
duction each studio had its own cast
ing director. The corporation now
fills the orders that come in something
ike this: One French gendarme, in
uniform; 100 beautiful girls, Latin
type; 50 women over so years old,
French types; four English Tommies
in uniform On location at 9 d. m.
"The Central Casting Corporation
maintains downtown office in Los
Angeles in conjunction with its Holly
wood office No charge is assessed
against extras when they register or
are employed, and the corporation
makes out and sends to the studio a
pay voucher when an extra is given
work Each such extra has an 8-hour
day, with extra pay for overtime, and
pay begins at the time the order is
given to report to the studio.
"The extras are paid from 50 to SIS
a day Last year the average daily
wage was 1894, and Central Casting
Corporation paid to extras the sum of
So, 2,469 900 OF the II 900 who reg
istered, only 1873 men and 81 women
worked more than two days week
The average of extras who worked
each day was 756, leaving an average
of 1924 without work. This station
ary picture of unemployment gives
reasons why would-be movie stars
should consider all angles before en-
barking for southern California"

 TUITION IS ONLY S150
SeiIew Hears From superintendent Text of Towns Deed to "AllLng Site"-L0M Man Married in Mcr. iden-ScOlts Meet Tonight.

The city of Middletown is able and willing to provide high school &C., commentators for all Berlin pupils Of high school age, if requested by the town of Berlin, according to letter received by Oscar Benson Of East Berlin from Edward B. Sellew, superintendent of schools in Middle town. In the past all pupils who have attended Middletown schools for the four years have been very successful in their work, according to the letter.
 The tuition for the year in the Middletown schools is $40, consid. erably under the s234 that is now charged by New Britain schools, where the majority of pupils from this town are now attending high school.
 The main point of sending pupils 10 the Middletown schools, in the mind of Mir. Benson, is the fact that the pupils will start and finish in the same school which at the present time is not being done because of the junior high system and three-year
 
 Mir. Benson is very interested in the school problem of the town at the present time and is also opposed to the building of d school on the Alling lot in Kensington. He stated that East Berlin residents would be forced to send their children too great a distance for the pupils to travel. He stated that the residents of East Berlin would ht taxed for the school and would not be able, if large bond were issued by the town, to raise money for the install lation of water or gas, which at pres ent is needed in East Berlin.
 Figures obtained from the New Britain school board show that about one half of the pupils from the Der lin schools who enter the high school of New Britain do not graduate. but are dropped from the roll of the school. Mir. Benson stated that a large percentage of this would be overcome if the pupils were allowed to be under the same system for the four years of high school
