What VIII The
Devil Do?

THE AMERICAN Protestant
Ieseue Of Philadelphia secretly
distributed marked ballots dur
Ing the recent Primary Election
These ballots purported to desig-
nate the religious affiliations OF
the respective candidates. Ro-
man Catholics were marked n.

Protestants were marked p
The peculiar thing about this
circular gotten up By these re-
ngious fanatics Is that they we're
unable 20 carry out their scheme
when It came to the classifica-
ton Of colored candidates. Per-
haps they were unable to deter
mine the religious fa1th OF Me-
eroes. At any rate they depart
ed from their program and mar
ked the colored office seekers
with the letters Col.
THE HOLIER THAN THOU
group Of Pedestrians should know
that the vast majority Of color
ed people are identified with
protestant churches. II II is
simply 3 matter Of religion. the
colnred candidates should have
been marked with q p" But
these poor benighted souls who
believe that Roman Catholics

pie can not be cIassed with the
white protestants in spite Of the
fact that they have he same re-
lleious form Of worship.

Plan Civic Group

To discuss the formation OF
q large civic association in
Carne Precinct, Arlington
County, Va, a group of the
citizens Of the section will meet
tonight at $3.50 o'clock at the
John Marshall School.
The idea is to federate or
consolidate the hume rouS
smaller groups existing there
into one large association, so
that it will be strong enough to
get more definite action in mat
tiers of public interest.
Col. Christopher Garrett, of
the Arlington county board,
has been invited to speak. He
will outline problems on which
such an organization might OBJ
tain action, and will bring out
how much more affective a
large organization will be in
bringing about public works.
The group will be non-political.
The proposal for such an or
ganization came up recently at
a meeting of the residents of
Country Club Hills, who gath
cred to discuss the forming of
an association in their section.
They decided, however, that in.
stead of forming another of the
numerous small groups, they
would begin plans for a section.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-TWO
profile ems face Anne Arundel
county officials as the aftermath
of the elections last week. One is
of the sale of approximately 5000
pieces of property to satisfy un.
paid taxes and the other is trying
to decide who won the race for
county commissioner. Roland
Brown, Republican, or John J.
Levay, Democrat.
Albert Hodges, county treasurer,
defeated by Joseph S. Pepper, Re
publican, must sell all property on
which taxes are in arrears before
he leaves office May l. 1t entails
a possible loss of 100000 to the
county in taxes as the county will
most probably have to buy the
property in. Mr.. Lavey and Mr..
Brown tied at 1872 votes each in
the official tally of the election
returns.

Homework.

At dinner he says he has so much
homework to do that he will not be
able to finish the model airplane. His
father asks him what he has to do,
and he says he has to write down the
names of the national heroes of the
Scandinavian countries and Germany,
their principal imports and exports,
and that he will have to go to the
store and buy some little red stars
so he can make a diagram Of the night
sky, including the Big Dipper. His
father suggests that he draw the dia-
gram with dots and get the stars to
paste over the dots on his way to
school next morning, and he agrees
that will be best, which makes his
father feel extremely efficient.
Father suggests that Hitler is GER
tainly the national hero Of Germany
now and would make a good one to
start of on and that one of the
things Germany imports is petroleum,
and the geography book undoubtedly
gives the other data.
He comes to his father later and
asks what are the imports and exports
of the Scandinavian countries and
who are the heroes, besides Hitler.
His father says that it is absurd to
ask such questions because the teach
er would not make the assignment

unless the information were in the
geography book and that all he has
to do Is read the book. He says 1t Is
not in the book His father says that
is ridiculous and reads the book and
finds the informatio Is not in the
book. His father says something is
undoubtedly wrong and he probably
got the assignment mixed up. He
says no, that the teacher said to look
1t up. His father finally finds an
appendix giving the principal exports
and imports of the countries and
points it out with pardonable pride,
but is somewhat puzzled to discover
that petroleum is not listed as a prin-
cipal import OF Germany.
He says, Now. how about the
heroes?' His father gets the encyclo-
pedia and finds that Nobel, who in
vented dynamite. might be put down
as the national hero of Sweden, and
thinks Of Greta Garbo, but suggests
Gustavus Adolphus as the most ap-
propriate. The encyclopedia seems q
bit shaky on heroes of Denmark, but
his father suggests they put down
King Canute, without more discus
sion. 1t is entirely too late for Nor
way, so his father suggests looking
at the stars, but unfortunately it is
overcast and they cannot find the
Big Dipper.
The next morning he reminds hi:
father that they have not found the
national hero of Norway yet, but his
father says he has important work
at the Office and will have to rush
off. He rushes of, and cautions hi:
son to see that his homework Is we'll

urgent need for funds. for relief

this resistance. Laws Of long stand
ing will have to be repealed to open
the way for such expedients, how
ever great the requirement. The
mails are closed to all forms Of
gambling schemes, lotteries especi-
ally. The old Louisiana Lottery was
put out OF business by the enactment
of those very statutes forbidding the
use of the postal service for its
advancement. Any local lottery. in
whatever form, would depend upon
other communities than that of its
origin for maintenance, and thus in
the end the Federal statutes would
prove a blockade which could be re-
moved only by appeal to Congress
for permissive legislation which would
make the question q national issue.
