 Democratic Chairnan
Matt Dunphy Given Temporary POst-Urges Unity
 and Support of Entire Ticket

Matt Dunpby, popular sports man, was named temporary demo- cratic town committeeman of the 11th voting district by Town Chair man John H. Crary at a workers meeting held at 358 Washington avenue last night. The appoint ment of MT. Dunphy, who has been district moderator for many years, was received enthusiastic ally. In making the appointment and referring to MT. Dunphy, the town chairman said, "He has been an active figure in politics for many years and is as well qualified to handle this district as I am to direct my own, or the town com mittee. have every confidence in his ability and feel sure that he will receive every support"
 In addressing the meeting MT. Dunphy urged unity and the sup port of the entire democratic ticket. He advised the workers to pay little attention to rumors. He said that he was optimistic enough to believe that all present will share the fruits of victory on the night of October 9th. In re- ferring to some other ticket, the new committeeman left little doubt in the minds of his listeners that he meant the Independent demo- crats. His referenc etc this ticket indicated that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, and that the new parties ticket is not ex- actly strong one and is almost certain to break in one or several places. The speaker declared that in fulfilling his duties he will at all times welcome suggestions from the voters residing in the district

and will. see that they are given proper attention. He made no promises to anyone and told li6 workers that they were to do likewise. Their duty, he said is to. get the vote out.
 Lithuanian Rally
 Alderman John w. Bender sug-i gested that action be taken on holding a Lithuanian rally in the district on the Friday or Saturday night proceeding the city election and arrangements for this affair are to be completed at the next workers meeting to be held on next Thursday night. At this time the Italian residents, 1t is expected, will also announce a desire to have a rally of their own. Plans will also be made for 8 monster. general rally. It is believed that Mayor Frank Hayes will appear before the group as well as several of the party candidates for re- election.
 The temporary committeeman, Martin B. Dunphy resides at 1022 Bank street, and has been con. nected with many activities held in this city. He is one of the orig inal members of the Brooklyn A. c. and has held every office in this organization at some time or other. He has been it's president several times. Two years ago he retired from this position to make way for others. He has been treasurer of the city amateur bas- ketball and baseball leagues since the time of their inauguration and upon several occasions hase been publicly commended for his work.

 The church school will open the first Sunday after the opening of the public schools. It is expected that all weekday groups will open the same week. The Junior choir will hold it's first rehearsal on Fri day afternoon. Those who wish to try out for the choir are asked to be at the church at o'clock, all others to come at 4:15 D. m.
 The first senior choir rehearsal will be held on Friday evening, Oc- tober 4 at 8:10 p. m. New mem- bers are needed for the senior choir and a cordial invitation is extended to any who may care to join.
 A great deal of effort has been put forth by the members of the committee in charge of the sample fair to be held on the evenings of October and in Davenport hall under the auspices of the Church Aid department to make the fair a complete success. Tickets are linn ited to the sale of 400 for each night and 1t will be necessary for those who wish to attend to make reservations by getting in touch with the church office or with any member of the committee. Those in charge are Mrs. Gordon Sper- ring, chairman, assisted by Mrs. Everett M. Stanley. Mrs. Walter M. Bray and Mrs. Henry Erk. Dur ing the past winter, several local churches holding these sample fairs met wiht unparalleled success and it is expected the demand for tickets in this instance may be far in excess of the supply. Samples of many of the nationally advertised products, and in some cases full sized packages, are available for free distribution to those attending and the committee especially ap- preciates the cooperation of local merchants who are participating by supplying valuable articles to be given as door prizes. Each one who attends will receive samples and in addition will have the opportunity of receiving one of the larger awards. As entertainment, a fash ion show will be. held during both evenings of the fari and refresh- ments will be served through the kind cooperation of several busi- ness firms in supplying their prod ucts for this purpose. Festivities will begin at o'clock on both eve nings.
 Teachers of the church school are asked to meet in the Confer ence rooms on Friday evening, Sep- tember 27 at 7:30 p. m.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLs.
The Cynic.

A POET once wrote something
about not wishing to sit in the
"scorner's seat" or to hobnob with
cynics. The idea was that he would
be friend to man."
All this raises the question as to
the origin and development of cynics.
And also whether or not they repre-
sent a novel creation in the long
stretch of human history.
Look back through the pages Of
human thought called the history of
philosophy. No matter how far back
you go in this history you find the
cynic. Another thing, cynics keep
bobbing up every once in a while.
And when they make their appear
ance it seems that something has
gone wrong with the organization of
human affairs. Some of these cynical
uprisings have pointed the way to
progress. We still reach back through
the centuries and shake hands with
Heraclitus and Hobbies.
The question as to how the cynic
gets started is recent one. The
theory from the standpoint of pSy-
chology is that any one who finds
something to criticize is on the road
to cynicism. It's story of human
discomfort and dissatisfaction with
the scheme and prospect of things
las is First a mild complainer.
then an open critic, then silent
cynic who withdraws from his social
surroundings. Perhaps the real cynic
lives ahead of his times. Who knows?

he had bees afraid Of cats Further
more, Peter knsy that this place under
the porch really belonged to Black
Pussy. He had many times seen her
go in through that hole. 10 you Won
der that Peter was anxious TO get out
of there?
The eyes vanished. Peter heard
some long shifts. Bowser the Hound
was shifting around that hole. Then
he heard some more shifts. Flip the
Terrier was also shifting around that
hole. How Peter did hope they
wouldn't take it into their heads to
dig that hole bigger. as they very cas-
lily could do. He got away back in
the darkest corner and his heart went
pit.a-pat, pit-a-pat, as he listened to
those shifts. Surprising Flip should
dig his way in? What would he, Peter,
do then? What could he do? The
only thing he could think Of would be
to dodge Flip under the porch and
then dart out through that hole But
II he did that he might be running
into the mouth of Bowser the Hound.
What was that? Peters worst fears
were realized. Flip the Terrier had
begun to dig. 1t seemed to Peter that
his heart was out up in his throat
1t didn't seem fair that after having
that dreadful fright from Shadow the
Weasel he should now have this
equally dreadful fright He had
escaped once. but could he do 1t again?
And if he did succeed in getting out
where should he go?
He heard a sharp command from
outside. The sound of digging ceased.
Peter sighed with relief. Farmer
Browns Boy had called Flip the Ter
rier away Also he had called Bowser
the Hound. He had seen Peter run
under that porch and he was seeing
to it that those dogs should no longer
worry Peter. He sent both of them
into the house.
But still Peter was in a dreadful
state OF mind. He didn't dare stay
there and he was afraid to leave. Now
what would you have done in a case
like that? Poor Peter. he was as badly
upset as he had been ever since he
left the dear Old Briar-patch.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

YELLOW JACK, coloquial name
= for the dread disease. yellow
fever. tells the tale of the unrelent-
ing fight OF science for the protec-
tion Of peoples against the on
slaughts of the unsupported.
Incredible as it may seem, there
was a time when vessels upon which
yellow fever was raging could come
into port without notice, let or
hindrance.
It was only after a long struggle
on the part of those who fought for
the enactment of public health reg
ulations that the appalling risks to
which communities were exposing
themselves by carelessness and in
difference were realized.
Then only were there laws which
required ships on which the plague
had broken out. when nearing port,
to fly yellow flag. thus warning ev-
erybody Of the peril aboard.
Jack" being the nautical term for
flag. the Yellow Jack became the
recognized and Official quarantine
pennant, as well as the synonym. for
yellow fever flag; while Yellow Jack
became the slang. synonymous phrase
for yellow fever.

Rankin

THIS name may have had several
origins. II the best authorities are
correct in their deductions. 1t may
have been derived from the Danish
Rank" which signifies upright, erect.
Or the Gaelic "Roinn- Ceann," which
denotes a promontory head, or it
might have originated from the Dutch
"Ranken," which indicates a prank. or
trick. There is a rather vague tradi-
ton which has 1t that one John, son
of knight called Jacob de Rankine
burgomaster of Client. married the
daughter of the head Of the house of
Keith and thus became the progenitor
Of all the Rankins. Rankens, Rankines
and Rankings of Scotland. The name
is frequently found in Scotland, par
ticularly on the western borders.
The coat of arms here shown Is
accredited to Henry Rankin. born in
Stirlngshire. Scotland, in 1773. He
settled in New York City in 1892 and
married Ann Marsh, I'd, OF Perth
Amboy. N. J. His descendant, DR..
Egbert Guernsey Rankin. was an emf
nent physician of New York City.

The Old Gardener Saws:

Popcorn is readily grown in
the home garden and there is a
peculiar satisfaction IN eating
popcorn produced at home. The
late Luther Burbank originated
a particularly good variety known
as Sorghum Pop, a variety which
is remarkably free from the hard
kernels commonly known as old
maids. Another planting of
sweet corn and bush beans may
be made now. Beets planted now
will give a supply for Winter
storage. although after all it is
better to harvest the .beets when
they are small and can them.
AS all housekeepers know. old
beets require long cooking. Young
canned beets are very tender and
are quickly prepared for the ia
Bile. Young carrots may be
canned in the same way and
there is plenty of time to grow
them from seed sown now.
