Gently with Toto,
their little dog,
E. hardly knowing
A''z' - $500. that such things
49, u as francs exist,
when much old
er than Assistant Secretary Tug
wells intelligent young daughter,
Marcia, aged twelve, who, in part
nership with her friends, Mary
Frances Cottren and Joyce Hell
mick, organized "a laundry for
washing dogs" They advertised:
Small dogs, 80 cents; middle-sized
dogs, So cents; grooued and
washed. Dogs not good-natured
must be sent with muzzles, and we
cannot wash large dogs"
Too bad that parental severity
broke up the dog laundry. It had
announced working hours 40 a. m.
to 5 p. m. on Saturdays" the stu
dious little girls only holiday, all
hours after school on other week
days.
What good example for govern
ment enterprises: the little girls
really meant to work to groom
and wash" the dogs, not merely
stand around and collect the 80
cents.
Plucky little Holland and her
wise queen seem to have decided
that the 1914 war to end all wars
did not finish its job. Holland went
through the big war safely, selling
butter, cheese, eggs, not disturbed,
not making any bad $4,000, 600, 900
loans.
Now Holland is buying Is heavy
bombing planes in Baltimore,
spending $4,000 for the 10, and
spending many other millions for
other killing machinery.
That means work and wages In
Baltimore; it may mean poison gas
and death for some of Holland s
neighbors.
Foreign countries read every
thing said about them in America;
not that foreign countries care
what Americans think, or attach
Importance to American opinion,
as such; but America has money,
raw products, and governments
that are sometimes whimsical,
changeable and boyish.
Europe, Asia and Africa watch
with equal interest statements OF
Americans that count and more
numerous Americans that float
like feathers in the air.
One simple minded Russian
pointed with pride to the statement
Of clergyman in our Union The
illogical seminary.
That gentleman, Rev. Charles C.
Weber, has a plan for a better
government, not based on the text
about rendering unto Caesar that
which is Caesars. The big idea is
to take away what is Caesars.
Eight hundred young people
were told by Reverend Webber:
God, who is not content with
things as they are, is a revolution
airy Being, constantly seeking to
make all things new"
Rev. Webber, recognizing this"
about God being a revolutionist,
has plan to help God in his eff
forts; plan as simple as A, B, C.
Capitalism, he says, must be abol-
ished. Rev. Webber wants a
planned and planning social econ
omy in the United States. Under
the Charles G.. Weber plan, peo-
pie would own and manage such
things as industry and property;
no money would be spent for war,
and youth would rule.
Those brought up with the old
fashioned idea of God might ask
Rev. Weber, respectfully. If God
really is revolutionary constant
ly seeking to make all things new
why does He not carry out His will
and make all things new every
few minutes? Can it be that He
needs the help of Rev. Weber?
Lenin and Stain got along without
that help"
Also arises this question. With
capitalism abolished, who would
build the churches, the Union The
illogical seminaries, and pay sal
aries to Rev. Webbers for reading
the mind of the Divinity?
Dean Swift should have known
Rev. Weber when he wrote his
tale of a tub.
France calls Paris the aerial port
of Europe" proudly. In America
the still prouder title "Chief Air
Traffic Port of the Whole World is
claimed by Miami, Los Angeles.
San Diego, Chicago, Clevelan-, and
with a great deal of reason by Sar.
Francisco and Oakland, thanks Il
the magnificent bay, and to the FACT
that the greatest air line, running
from America to Asia, starts from
that neighborhood.
