to push the buttons because he was
afraid the current might run up his
arm instead of to the lights.
President Mckinley brought him
upstairs" as they say at the White
House. and made him an usher. Presi-
dent Wilson took him to Paris during
the peace conference. He was quar-.
tered at Buckingham Palace in Lon
don and ~ the Quirinal in Rome.
Things y re changed greatly at the
White Hoi.se since the night young
Hoover went there to f1s the lights. AT
that time there were fewer than half
dozen employees at the mansion. Now
there are more than 60.
Hoover has played his part in the
modernization program. He installed
tee first electric doorbell. He also
rugged up for President Harrison sys-
tenn of bells in the Executive Offices,
the first time President ever used this
time and labor saving device.
Curiously enough, there was an ele-
vator at the White House before cleo
trio lights and bells. hydraulic lift
had been installed prior to Hoover's ar
rival. 1t was not until the Roosevelt
administration that it was replaced
with an electric one.
Hoover could tell some interesting
stories about the things and persons
he has known so intimately and for so
long If he would But that's one thing
he probably never will do. He has re-
peatedly declined suggestions that he
write his memoirs.
His only comment on the years he
has spent at the White House is:
Il had to wait long time before I
got President of my own name"

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.
Immortality of Love.

'Love never faileth."-I Corinthians,
kills.
At the foot of the white marble cross
which his wife placed upon the grave of
Charles Kingsley are craven these
words: 1--WE have loved, we love, we
shall love"
The love that lightens life acts in
stinctively on the hypothesis of i'm
mortality. Loves language is the Ian
guage of eternity, and she speaks no
other language.
When our dear ones have crossed the
river we are somehow bound to them
BY the cords of a deathless love. We
do not cease to love them, and we can
not feel that they have ceased to love
us. We feel their mysterious nearness.
In one of George Macdonald's ro-
mances there is a young girl who was
engaged to marry young man who
was a p-ofessed unbelieVer. But II
comes to pass that this girl is awakened
spiritually, that she comes to feel within
her soul the sense Of immortality, ana
she questions her lover Tell me, now
long will you love me?" His assurance
that he will love her until death do us
part" does not satisfy her. After DIS
cussing the matter, she lets the young
man go, because, she says, 1T may be
loved as an immortal woman"
In the beautiful drama Of Ion' the
instinct of immortality, so eloquently
uttered by the death of the devoted
Greek, finds deep response in every
soul. When about to yield his young
existence, a sacrifice to his fate, his be-
loved Clemanthe asks if they shall meet
again, to which he replies: i asked
that dreadful question of the hills that
seemed eternal, of the clear streams
that flow forever, of the stars among
whose fields of azure my spirit has
walked AS I look upon thy loving face
I feel that there is something in thy
love that cannot wholly perish. We
shall meet again, Clemanthe."
We not only feel that we are immor-
tai; we feel that there Is something
immortal about love. We love our de-
parted dead more than we-loyed them
living. and with love more unself1sh
and with less faint of earthliness about
it. If that is true of us, with all our
fiesilly restrictions still upon US, how
much deeper and more refined must
be the love our dear ones on the other
side feel for us, having entered into the
fullness of the life beyond. How blessed
and sweet is the comfort We find in
this thought of the Immortality Of love.

have enough money to live on for two
or three months. You can't get job
as quickly as you think. And it always
costs more to live than you figured on
In advance.
1t will be a risk, of course, and you
may make a failure. If you do you
mustn't hesitate to come back home
again. You will think that everybody
will look down on you as a failure, but
they will not. They will merely envy
you the experience, and want to hear

sick and lonely in a theatrical boarding
house, and a queer looking actress next
door came in and helped her out. She

second period, after Lockerman,
HOrseman and Kirk had placed the
oval within striking distance, he
plunged eight yards off center for
the score. Both tries for extra points
failed.
Frankford started the second half
off with a determined march up the
field on a run of As yards by Rick
ards. and two 15-yard dashes by
Hudson. But Delmar braced and
took the ball. Later LOckerman reel
ed off 80 yards around end to score.
A pass Kelley to Williams, made the
score 1870. Scoop" Nelson, Del
mars backfield ace, went into the
game in the fourth period to make
three first downs in a row and give
Kelley the chance to plunge eight
yards through center for the final
marker.
The game was marred by frequent
penalties. Delmar lost 20 yards and
Frankford 25 because of them. Del
mar earned nine first downs to
FrankfOrd's two; made 1873 yards
from scrimmage and completed
three passes.
The victory ran Delmar's points
to 143 to seven by their opponents.
Delmar has been defeated only once
by Laurel, 7-6. The victory gives
Delmar the right to meet Newark
High, Northern d. l. A. A. winners,
ON Thanksgiving Day at Dover for
the State d. |. A. A. championship.

The Dole Question

Practically everybody seems
agreed that the dole is a bad thing,
yet in the tone of those who de-
nounce it there is a fear that we
may have it thrust upon US. The
danger lies in the attitude of GER
tain politicians, mostly members OF
Congress, who are ever prompt to
purchase popular favor with public
money. The dole is the easiest and
simplest remedy that political doc
tors can find for unemployment
and the worst. The easiest way to
cure an infected toe or athletes
foot is to cut off the leg. Good doc
tors take more time and pains, give
more thought, make greater efforts
and restore the patient.
But if the dole is forced upon us
every good citizen should fight
against it being distributed in the
form of cash. Let it be handed out
in supplies and food-just as, the
Red Cross and other relief organiza-
tions work. Government agencies
could buy at wholesale those neces-
sary things much more cheaply
than could northumberland the
public money would not be spent
for anything else. If cash were
passed out some it would be used
for bootleg liquor and gambling
just as surely as some of the Veter-
ans bonus money was-and those so

ago with considerable of a fanfare

the mails. Many replies to the
touching appeals sent out from Ma
tional headquarters are being re-
ceived, it is admitted, but the tenor
of them is disturbing. Too many of
the faithful say they would be glad
to contribute, but they are dry and
do not propose to put up money to
run wet campaign or finance a
party which is dominated by a
bunch of vets, or with the likeli-
hood that they will be promoting a

He flew over various places in

the vicinity of Smyrna and Clayton.
In this section he circled about over
both towns and hundreds of people
saw the prettiest exhibition which
they had ever witnessed. Hawks
flew in and out of fog banks. He
would be seen plainly flying over
the town and then would disappear
in a fog cloud only to reappear a
few seconds later. Finally he landed
in the field. He had intended to land
at the flying field at North Beach,
New York which is ninety miles
from Philadelphia. He was alone in
the plane which is an unusually
small but swift one.
Captain Hawks said that when he
found the fog so bad he intended to
"sneak up the river" believing the
fog might be pierced there. He de-
clared that the radio did him little
good because the fog was so dense
that he could not keep his course.
1t was at LewistOwn, Pa, he said,
