other aspect in isolation of these
policies (tariffs, or ornaments, or
colonial policy, or war; without at
lacking monopoly capitalism itself,
or to expect monopoly capitlism to
pursue a different more enlight-

tiger to live on grass.
But monopoly capitalism means at
the same time the parasitic stage
of capitalism. The greater part Of
the world becomes tributary to the
handful of great powers; the ma
jority of mankind is paying tribute
to tiny group of financial oligar-
chies. The RENTER class, living on
dividends, and without any contact
with production, develops in the
imperialist countries; the numbers
engaged in serving them develop;
the proportion of those engaged in
productive industry declines.
At the same time a proportion
of the tribute of "super-profit" is
used to buy off the upper strata Of
the working class in the imperialist
countries, by concessions, social
reform measures, corruption of la
Dor leaders, ETC. So develops the
phenomenon of the labor aristoc-

are asleep. When we are dreaming
we do not have control over the
trend of our thoughts, and the
principale of suggestion is in con-
troll. The images that appear in
dreams are usually completely
lacking in conference, but we are
not surprised at this in our dreams.
Sometimes, however, our minds de-
velop wonderful brilliance during
sleep. It is generally accepted that
dreams result from natural causes.
Internal bodily impressions or the
preceding state of mind or body
cause and mould a dream.
Dreams, therefore, look backward
over time past, instead Of antici-
pating the future, and yet through
out the world in all the ages, many
people have interpreted dreams as
prophesying future events.

of our time. Better advice could
not be given. We will realize its
truth as we grow older.
Every second OF the day that you
set aside for work should be util-
lied. The time you want for rest
ing can be used for that, if you
will use the time allotted for work
to do work
In school, much time is wasted
over things that can be done out
side of school hours. The six hours
given for school work, allows plen-
ty of time to accomplish all that is
to be done. The time after school
is yours.
School hours sometimes feel long.
because you are mentally some
where else. Concentration on your
work makes it seem as if time flies.
An example of this is at the time
of a test. You are so busily en-
gagged in work that you do not
seem to have enough time.
There is plenty to be done. If
you have minute or two now, do
it now. Never procrastinate.

Temper or Temperamental?

So often you've read about this
or that famous persons being tenn
peramental. 1t seems to be char
acteristic of so many of them. You
know what / mean Miss Screen
Favorite tears up furniture, throws
a fit and in general wrecks the
place and Mr.. and Mrs. Public sigh
and say she's so temperamental!
When you and get angry and feel
in the mood to destroy everything
in sight, parents and neighbors
shake their heads and say, What
a temper that child hasI"
If you're Mr.. and Mrs. Some
body you're temperamental; if your
Mr.. and Mrs. Ordinary Person its
just plain temper! So mark my
words: When people start calling
your stormy outbursts signs of
your temperamental nature instead
of talking about your nasty tenn
per, you have graduated into the
realm of the famous.

How To Achieve Success

Have you ever met a person who
complains of being a failure in
everything he undertakes, and
doubts his ability to make good in
anything worth while? Well, there
are many such people in this world.
You can be failure simply be-
cause you think you are. Getting
licked is like every other habit;
the first attempt is generally the
worst of it. Do you realize that
set-backs and disappointments are
experienced by every one some
time during life? What is needed
to carry you through these difficult
ties is determination. Many fam
GUS men of history were handicap
ped in various ways but there viii
power to do and to be, urged them
to rise above handicaps to achieve
ments. Anyone who surrenders his
hopes cannot succeed nor does he
deserve to succeed. Opportunity
has no use for towards. Misfor-
tune is a test by which to determ-
inc manhood. A gutter is despis-
ed by society. Therefore, remem-
Der that failure is to be experienced
before success.

EASTON FIRENIEN KEPT BUSY
Had Strenuous Day Wednesday
Answering Fire Alarms

Easton, Md. firemen were called
out last Wednesday to five fires
The first was at the home of Earl
Stafford on the road leading from
EaSton, Md, to Centreville, Nd
which was slightly damaged. AT
the home of Albert Cannon in
Miles River Neck, six miles from
Easton, Md, the roof on one of his
outbuildings was damaged. Re
turning they were called to the
home of Mrs. John Thompson on
Needwood avenue, to put out a fire
which had caught from an oil burn
er. The kitchen was badly dam
aged. The next call was to the
home of James Jones on Dover
Road, near Easton, Md for a chin
ney fire which was soon extinguish-
ed. The firemen had hardly put
their engines in the fire house be-
fore they were called to the Chin
ese laundry, on North Washington
street, Easton, which had caught
fire. This fire was stubborn and
much damage was done before ID
was extinguished.

friendship. By benefits, I mean,
prestige, favors and the places
which they attend To create a
friendship only because of the re-
suits derived from it, is a mean and
hateful thing. Often one who is
not true friend will gain the con-
fidence of supposed-to-be friend
and then scatter the knowledge
gained to those who dislike the per-
son. This causes the destruction
of ones reputation, as some per-
sons add little bit to each story
to make it more spicy" and the
result is anything but a resem-
blance of the truth.
Find out who your true friends
are and cherish their friendship. "A
true friend is hard to find but once
you have found him he should be
yours forever.

School Parties

In every school, there are US
ually, at certain times, social func-
tions. These affairs are held for
the purpose Of instructing the
youth Of the nation as to how they
should conduct themselves in so
cial life. Social enterprises such
as these have important parts to
play in the formation of the men
and women in the world today.
Often these parties are held by
the student body as an occasion
for relaxation from classroom for
mality and an opportunity to have
a good time. This is wrong inter

Friendship

There is an old saying, "A true
friend is great treasure" Many
persons DO not realize the value of
a true friend until he is facing a
crisis. One gets SO used to the
friendship of another that he does
not really know the depth of it.
Some who pretend to be friends
do So only because Of the benefits
which they derive from such a

casion for enjoyment, there is a
greater formality to be observed
than in any classroom.
The boys must learn to conduct
themselves as gentlemen and the

adapt themselves to that particular
Unless this is accom-
plished at an early age, opportun-
ity may be found lacking later on.

The Romantic Movement

While Johnson and Pope were
dictators of English letters, litera-
ture maintained a formal express
sion. But romanticism quietly
made its appearance at last. This
romantic movement is the express
sion Of life seen by imagination as
revealed in nature.
Writers Of classic literature
clung to strict rules and formal ex-
pressions, rather than to the more
beautiful things of life.
The romantic movement is mark
ed by its protest against rule and
custom which generally tends to
hinder the free spirit of a person.
Romanticism used as its material
nature and plain humanity and is
a marked contrast to CIassicism.
which had confined itself largely to
pure thought and Grecian restraint.
Romanticism emphasized the etern-
al ideas of youth. The dreams and
IDEAS of people are cherished pos
sessions long after their tomb
stones nave crumbled away. HUI
man sympathy, many times shown
ior the poor and their cry against
OPPRESSION was revealed in romantic
literature.
Milton, Shakespeare, Gray, Gold
smith, and Burns were writers in
whose work the characteristics of
love, humor, pathos, response to
humor and to nature were in evil
dence.

Dear Jerry:
AS you know, this summer I
went to California. The two most
interesting things / saw were the
Burbank Airport and the Warner
Brothers Studio.
One day while | was in Burbank
i asked some people how near they
were to the Airport. They said
they were about a mile from it, and
if / wished, we could visit it.
Well, we started out and in
few minutes were there. The first
thing we saw was a large cage
with another cage inside of that.
Then we heard a growl. We went
over that way and what do you
think we saw? We saw a large
sign which said: Colonel Roscoe
Turner'S Lion, which has been
across the continent three times"
Were we surprised? The cage
which was inside the large one was
where the keeper put the lion
when he wanted to feed him. At
ter the lion was fed the keeper
would let him out in the large cage
to walk around awhile. We also
saw the inside of a plane, and saw
them loading one with passengers
and mail.
We then decided to go over to
When we arrived we
first saw what 1 thought was a
football stadium, and then 1 saw
the words: Warner Brothers Studio. +
We drove around the sides of it,
and could see what looked like

Courage

Courage
Some times we wonder why other
people pass US by, why persons we
have grown up with have become
more successful than ourselves.
The thing that has brought them
to the top is the fact that they had
courage. When a job was offered
them no matter how hard they
thought it might he they tackled it
and found it was not so difficult af-
ter all. They had courage to stick
to it. Courage! That is all it
takes to De as successful as your
neighbor. Lack of courage is a
great fault that should be over

Dear Libby:

WV NOs 1000.
Dear Libby:
/ thought probably you'd like TO
hear about the trip that Mother.
Daddy, my sisters and I took TO
Washington. 1t was the most in
teresting trip that we have ever
had. Of course the seniors of
Smyrna High take a trip every
year. Nevertheless, it will be five
years before my class goes. Moth
er said she would rather go along
with us anyway, as she could take
us to more places, because we
would have more time We stayed
nearly a whole week and certainly
regretted leaving.
We reached Washington about
800 one evening. We had to hur
~ to get to the hotel where we
were going to stay, as we wanted
TO get a chance to see the capital
lighted up, which, Of course. we
couldn't see ia the daytime. The
buildings were certainly beautifully
lighted. We were all tired and
ready to retire that first night.
The next day we went to the
Capitol. We had a guard who
showed Us the most outstanding
things. We went to the top of the
Washington Monument, visited the
Congregational Library, and Mt.
vernon, going inside the house
where Washington lived. We went
10 the Arlington Cemetery. We
went to the Washington Zoo where
we saw some very large and queer
animals. We went through the
House and Senate and last of all
The Lincoln Memorial. I hope to
visit Washington again before 1 go
with my class, because L don't
think that there is a more beauti-
ful city in the United States than
our Capital, Washington, d. c.
Come see me soon. Don't be
long writing. wish 1 had more
time to tell you all about eyerv-
thing because L really did see some
interesting things.
Yours truly,
