For Embargo on AL

NEUTRALITY FAVORED

BALTIMORE, January 7 LP.-
Strict neutrality legislation by Congress
was recommended by Miss Jeannette
Rankin, first woman to be elected to
Congress as the best preventive of war
in Europe
She asserted in speech here that
adoption Of legislation stringent enough
to make certain this country will not
help either side or make any money
out Of Europe's war" would effec-
lively discourage European countries
from starting a conflict.

UNCOMMON
AMERICANS

By Elmo @ Western
q wy Newspaper
CCOtL " ULSOD Union
First War Correspondent

ON THE monument which they
~ erected over his grave are in
scribed these words: He was a po
ct, journalist, author, and farmer
eminent in all" Yet this does less
than justice to the career of George
Wilkins Kendall.
A native of New Hampshire, Ken
dali became a printer at an early
age and followed his trade in many
cities. He was in New York in 1888
when an outbreak of the dreaded
cholera caused him to take ship
for New Orleans. There he entered
the employ of paper called the
True American, and while work
ing there conceived the idea of new
daily newspaper which should fol-
low the policies that had made the
New York Sun and Philadelphia Led
ger SO successful.
Taking into partnership Francis
A. Lumsden, a fellow employee,
Kendall launched the New Orleans
Picayune in January, 1887. He was
only twenty-eight at the time and
his resources were small. But he
was such an enterprising editor
that the Picayune soon became one
of the best known papers in the
country.
At the outbreak of the War with
Mexico in 1846, New Orleans be.
came the chief outftting point for
the American forces. 1t was also
the natural center of communica,
ton between the armies in the field
and Washington. Kendall was quick
to see the journalistic opportunity
which this offered. He organized a
system of relays of horses and rid,
ers between Mexico and New Or,
leans and of fast boats between
New Orleans and Baltimore. Then
he accompanied the armies of Scott
and Taylor and began sending back
vivid first-hand accounts of their
battles, frequently writing his dis
patches while cannon roared and
bullets whistled around him.
Kendall supplied the government
with its first knowledge of the bat
tie Of Buena Vista and it was again
this enterprising journalist who in
formed Washington that the treaty
of peace had been signed. He came
out of the war with the title of
major and bullet in his knee, re-
ceived at the storming of Chapulte-
pee. In his later years he retired to
a farm in Texas where he was a
successful farmer and stock raiser
and he died there in 1867.

By talking in the right way we
bring good to others and Joy to
ourselves.
"ToO Much Talk"
1t is when we sWerve from the
best use of the spoken word that
we drag it down and harm both
ourselves and our hearers. There
is an expression. "too much talk'
which is significant of this very
thing. The words speak for them
selves, declaring that it would be
advisable to cease saying the
things we are. 1t is never said
of good words. Of them we could
say: Let us have more talk cf the
same sort, it is needed.
Many Words
Have you ever considered how
much is said when derogatory talk
is going on? Word are spoken
and reiterated over and over
again, as if by repetition the un-
pleasant things would ne in
creased. Unfortunately this is
what happens. UnkinG or unfriend-
ly conversation, by some perverse
twist of human nature, is sure
to be repeated, and usually with
embellishments. Either the one
who repeats it cannot believe her
ears, and wonders if anyone else
knows about the unfortunate cir
cumStanceS, or else she finds
strange pleasure in repeating
slander. 1t may be the derogatory
words are against someone she
dislikes. 1t may be they are
about total stranger. If the talk
was commendatory repeating it
would foster fine things. Good
things should be given frequent
repetition.
Pleasure Giving in 1897
We all could add so much to tho
pleasure and joy of living during
the new year 1887, if we would set
a watch on our talk, and by a
Wishful determination use this
great means at our command to
help others. 1t is one of the things
that costs nothing and yet which
can do such an endless amount of
good. 1t is a way open to all
alike.

per (that disc or plate-like damper
inside the smoke pipe) 1-16th of an
inch toward the closed upright
position. Then, if the fire keeps
on. burning too freely, turn the
damper another sixteenth of an
inch. Repeat this operation un-
til you find the correct adjustment
one that will deliver the great
est amount of useful heat with the
least chimney loss"
Once you have found this ideal
adjustment of the damper, mark
the position on the smoke pipe
with a piece of chalk or something
that can be plainly seen, and leave
the da1nper set at that mark.
Bear this in mind: The nearer
the turn damper is set to the
closed position the smaller the
Chimney loss" and the greater
the volume of "useful heat" that
goes to properly heating your
home. And, of course, the lower
your fuel bills.

Ambassador to His
Native Land

LIE WAS born Yankee during
l. l. the early days of the American
republic. Forty years later, having
helped establish a new American
republic, he came back to his native
land, the accredited minister to it's
government from the government
of the younger nation of which he
later became the last president. And
that in brief is the paradoXical ca
reer of Anson Jones.
Born at Great harrington, Mass,
on January 20, 1898, young Jones
decided to become a doctor. After
several years study in Litchield,
Conn, he was licensed to practice
in 1920. Then the Wanderlust seized
MIN and he wandered to Philadel-
phia, to New Orleans, to South
America and finally settled in Texas
in 1888.
At the outbreak of the troubles
between Texas and Mexico he was
among the first to advocate dec
laration of Texan independence.
When the war started he enlisted
as a private but was soon appointed
a surgeon in the Texas army of
liberation. With it he served at
San Jacinto and after the republic
was founded he became representa-
tive to the Texan congress.
In 1888 he was appointed minister
to the United States. Thus this
Yankee came back to his home
land as an Ambassador" from a
foreign power" While in Wash
ington, he was elected to the Texas
senate and later became its presi-
dent. During the second term of
Sam Houston as president of the
Lone Star republic, Jones was his
secretary of state and in 1874 he
was elected president.
That was critical year in the
affairs of the new nation. There
was talk OF annexation by the
United States and a sharp division
of opinion arose among Texans over
it. One of those who was opposed
to it was the President. But the
citizens of the republic voted over
whelmingly in favor of it and on
December 20, 1845, the republic of
Texas came to an end and the state
of Texas succeeded it.
Bowing to the inevitable, Jones
turned over the reins of govern
ment to James Pinckney Hender-
son, the first governor of the state
of Texas, and retired to his home in
Washington county. In 1857 he was
prominently mentioned as a candi-
date for United States senator but
he was destined never to return to
Washington where he had once gone
as ambassador" In a fit of in
sanity he died by his own hand on
January 8, 1858, convinced to the
last that Texas had made a mistake
in giving UP its independence.

T ALKING is the recognized
l. medium Of communication be-
tween persons who are together
or who, being absent, use tele-
phone. 1t is unfortunate having
such marvellous medium at our
command that we so often fail to
put it to the use worthy of its
value. It is pocs;:,1.I u send a
glow of happiness through the lis
tener when we speak merited
words of appreciation. 1t is pos
sible to solace those in sorrow by
words of comfort spoken from the
heart. 1t is possible to make JOY
doubly gladstone by expressing
our happiness in the good fortune
of others. Through talking to our
children we can spur them on to
do fine things, or encourage them
in worthy resolves. In short the
good we can do by talking in
the right spirit is inestimable.

Duke Was a Dude

George Villiers, first duke Of
Buckingham, was a real dude. His
jewels alone were reckoned at a
total of 100000 pounds English mon
ey. 1t was common with him at an
ordinary dancing party to have his
clothes trimmed with great dia-
mond buttons and to have diamond
hat bands, cockades, and earrings;
to be yoked with great and mani
fold ropes and knots of pearl; in
short. to be imprisoned in jewels.
On a visit to Paris in 1925 he had
twenty-seven suits of clothes made,
tn richest that embroidery, lace,
silk, velvet, gold, and gems could
contribute, one of which was white
uncut velvet, set all over, both suit
and coat, with diamonds.

"Sidereal Month"

The moon goes around the earth
every twenty-seven and one-third
days, in a period called the "side-
real month" Its path is not circle,
but an ellipse. Each time it goes
around, says Science Service, there
is one point when it is nearest the
earth, or perigee. and one when it
is farthest, called apogee. Because
of the pull on the moon by the sun.
and other bodies in the solar sys-
tenn, the shape of its orbit is not
constant. At some times it is pulled
out into a longer ellipse, while at
other times it is squeezed into a
more nearly circular form. The
earth is not at the center Of the
ellipse, but towards one end, at a
point called the focus.

Popularity of Owls

Owls see objects with both eyes at
once. Their eyes are set fast in
their sockets, which means that
they have to turn their entire heads
in the direction they want to see.
If one walks around an owl, and
the bird desires to watch, its head
will turn clear around with the ut
most ease until it looks directly
backward. If a person goes far
ther, the owl will follow as far as
possible, then turn its heat so quick
ly that one does not notice it.

WOMEN WHO HOLD
THEIR MEN
NEVER LET Them KNOW

MO matter how much your
IN back aches and your nerves
scream, your husband, because he
is only a man, can never under
stand why you are so hard to live
with one week in every month.
Too often the honeymoon ex-
press is wrecked by the nagging
tongue of a three-quarter wife. The
wise woman never lets her husband
know by outward sign that she is
a victim of periodic pain.
For three generations one woman
has told another how to go "smil-
ing through" with Lydia e. Pink

Bull Terrier a Gladiator

Years ago the bull terrier was the
gladiator among dogs. 1t was the
day of dog fights-when the gentle
man sportsman thought it correct
and good fun to pit dogs against
each other. 1t was then that the
bull terrier made a name for him
self. He was taught to be a plucky
scrapper, full of courage, ready to
fight for himself or his master. And
he was bred so that he was strong,
very agile and to never know the
significance of the word quit"

Mistakes From Pride

7 HAVE been more and more
convinced the more l think
of it, that, in general, pride
is at the bottom of all great
mistakes. All the other pas
sions do occasional good; but
whenever pride puts in its
word, everything goes wrong;
and what it might really be
desirable to do, quietly and
innocently, it is mortally dan
gerous to do proudly.-Ruskin.
