tears-and critics! We all need
our "orchids." Every day in
every way, all of us need our
vanity and our self-esteem stim'
ulated and popped up, just to
keep us going. And, if we don't
get our daily dose of applesauce
at home, we'll look for it some
where else and probably find
it.
When a husband stops flat
tering his wife, or a wife stops
flattering her husband, some
body else begins. Lots of women
go to psychoanalysts quite regu-
larly just to have somebody
talk to them about themselves.
No matter how much a
woman loves her husband. or
how perfectly. sure, she is that
he admires her, she will EAT
UP compliment from another
man. And no matter how little
she may think of the flatterer,

Even a flattering glance from
total stranger is a tonic to
her vanity. She may haughtily
snub the man who ogles her in
public-but secretly she puts
another notch in her vanity
case. One MORE conquest!
Men, of course, imagine that
they have no vanity. But I
know more than one clever
woman who has kept her hus-
band in love with her by con.

brilliant he is or how wise he
is or how handsome he is. Just

The Human Side of the News
By Edwin C.. Hill

A strange, century-old book,
reprinted every year or two and
still a regional best-seller, is the
family guide book for "pow-
WOW" practices in the "Hex"
districts of Pennsylvania, where
the "hexerei" is under fire
again, with the stabbing of an
infant. 1t is THE Long Lost
Friend" written in 1917 by
George Holman, an encyclo-
pedia of charms and incanta-
tions against witches, illness,
disaster and evil in all forms.
In Lancaster, York and Ly-
coming counties, it has come
down through all the decades of
universal public education. the
spread of newspaper circulation,
the outreach of the great uni
versities, the era of the radio,
the organization and advance
of medicine-a text of the dark
ages eXtant and powerful in
these days of enlightenment.
In the days of the World War,
parents would put the book in
a chamois skin bag, perform
certain incantations, and hang
it around the soldier boys neck,
to turn aside the bullets. am
told that many a Pennsylvania
lad went through the war with
one of these books on his chest,
revering and treasuring it when
he returned unscathed.
There are many cabalistic
signs and formulas to fend off
the witches, to insure health
and well-being and to protect
the household against fire or
theft. To put an end to the fire
hazard, once and forever, you
select the best and most highly
priced china plate in the house.

MOUNTED TROOPERS
CHARGE CROWD OF
MINERS AT COURTHOUSE

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-Mounted troop
ers last week charged a crowd Of
1 5000 miners gathered before the
state courthouse here in protest
against the arrest Of 81 mine union
leaders. AS a result of the troopers
attacks, seven workers went to the
hospital. Eleven others were arrested
and put under bail amounting to
A $4,000.
In the courtroom, Judge Valentine
heard the cases Of 20 Of the 81 ar
rested men. These union officials
have refused to heed an injunction to
call off the strike against the Glen
Alden coal company. No action by
the court has as yet been announced.
A tremendous mobilization Of armed
force against the strikers is being
carried through by mine operators and
state and county officials. Local po-
lice, state troopers, detectives and
company police and guards are cooper
ating in an attempt to smash the
strikers ranks and reopen the mines.
There are rumors that martial law
will be declared. The answer of the
workers has been to increase the
picket lines at the mines.

YOU. What we need today is peo-

PROVERBS AND PARALLELS
By A. B. Mann
(For The Literary Service Rureaul
YOUR CHICKENS AND NINE

-
The saying is, "Your chickens will
come home to roost." 1t is based on
the fact that chickens may leave their
own yards, but at roosting time, will
return. The lesson is of r~etribution
or penalty for wrong doing. In the
Bible it is called reaping what is sown.
In ethical terms it is r~etributive JUS
tice. In slang parlance it is getting
what is coming to you" In penal Ian
guage it is paying penalty for trans
gression of law, human or divine.
This saying and these i%nterpreta-
tons remind us that we cannot do
wrong or render injustice with i'm
punity; and it warns US to be careful
in all our dealing with others-and
with the conduct Of our own lives.
