The Drawbridge
Is Down

American business men, too apt to
become curt and a bit impatient in their
everyday dealings, might profit from
the homely observation of a Danish
author, Jaegermester Plov, in his book,
THE Castle of Contentment."
Celebrating on the theme that a farm
er must receive his visitors-that the
drawbridge must be down-the author
says of his visitors, :" suppose we
let the maid go out to the automobile
and announce that we were occupied at
the moment, but that if there were any
message she. would be glad to take it
then what in the world would these
people think of US? No, the bridge has
got to be down."
Business would be a more friendly
institution, and there would be a greater
understanding among the people of how
important business is to US, II more
bridge. A handshake and a smile go
a long way towards making friends for
a business man, just as they do for
politician. A court message relayed
business men would let down the draw
through a secretary, no matter how
pleasant she may be, sometimes has the
opposite effect.
1t seems almost unnecessary to say
that the same holds true for every one
of us, in our personal and private lives,
but it is something we should not forget.
If we let down the drawbridge, we soon
find ourselves enjoying the experience
and our lives are better for it. When
we know people better we usually find
that most of them are pretty likeable
lot-and they usually find that we are,
too.
Let own the drawbridge; make
friends and be friendly; and see how
much more you get out Of life, both
materially and spiritually.

Other Editors Say
PREVENTION-OR ONLY FEAR?
Christian Science Monitor)

Medical campaigns for early recognition of
the alleged symptoms Of acute appendicitis
denied the approval Of two members of the Tenn
pie university medical school faculty, Drs. Will
liam a. Swain and Lester Morrison who tell
the Medical Society Of Pennsylvania that such
activity may have created "a more appendix
conscious laity" with the result that through
apprehension the part Of the patient the
physician may frequently be maneuvered into
becoming an uncertain party to unnecessary
surgery"
Moreover, the Temple professors warn that
"mealtime arguments are also capable Of bring
ing about symptoms which often result IL need
Less appendectomies. Certainly no doctor ever
gave patient better advice.
Today every physician of standing compre-
hends that fear, anxiety, worry, envy, jealousy,
hatred resentment do more than eXaggerate
vague distresses into definite symptoms in the
individuals thought. They actually retard, in
hibit or interfere with bodily functions and
are known TO be a common cause of certain
forms of disease. Apparently the Temple I'm
iverslty medical men recognize the danger OF
arouSing these emotions, as well as that OF
stirring up anxiety about bodily conditions.
If campaigns for the recognition Of appen-
endicitis are to be avoided why not also
campaigns which chiefly arouse fear and anx
iety over the likelihood of developing other
ailments? Such campaigns often cause more
fear than remedial action. And some are based
on doubtful of false claims of inmunization.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv)

The Greatness OF
Ramsay Macdonald

Through the death of James Ramsay
Macdonald the world has lost not only
a famous diplomat and statesman, but
a great man as we'll. He was great for
many things, but above all his greatness
lies in the fact that not political eXpe-
diency nor personal friendship could
swerve him from the path where he con-
ceived his duty to lie.
During those years in 1924 and from
1880 to 1886 when Ramsay Macdonald
was prime minister of Great Britain,
his own country and the rest of the
world recognized him as leader of men,
but we think that he was more truly
great when, campaigning for office, he
heard booes and Kisses and cries of
Judas" from the men and women who
had been proud to vote for him in other
years-and even then refused to swerve
from the duty he considered to be his.
Ramsay Macdonald deserted the ideals
that labor in his country had adopted,
we know it was only because his mature
judgment considered those ideals not to
the best interest of his country. He had
nothing to gain, and he lost everything
through his action; everything, that is,
but one thing-greatness
There are so few men like Ramsay
Macdonald in this world that the loss
of one is a loss to all of the world.

Child Labor in

School and prosecuting authorities in

that should win the approval of every
stable citizen of the community, move
to prevent the employment of children
of school age in agricultural fields.
Children, regardless of parentage or
station in life, should be given the oppor

to give it to them. The parents or en-

Famous Sayings -

Before we can get finally
Strengthened out on the problem of
unemployment, We might as well
face the fact that there is a lot
of it which isn't really due to the
depression.
This kind of unemployment SIM
ply arises from a gradual tighten
ing up in the world of jobs; pro-
cess which you can attribute to in
creased efficiency, to machines, to
the increasing rigors of a more
competitive business era, or to any
thing else you choose, but which
is keeping a good many willing
men off the payroll no matter. what
you call it,
Here is a sample case, which
must be representative of a pretty
substantial number among the an
mails of our unemployed
There is a man of 45 or so in a
large city in the middle west who
lost his job a couple of years ago.
1t was neither a very good nor a
very bad job-just an average
White-collar position that paid per-
haps $50 a week and kept the man
in decent comfort
1t was partly the mans own
fault he lost the job. He made
one of those blunders that aver
age people make every so often,
and the boss got sore and fired
him.
Anyway, this man lost his job,
and he set out to get another. He
has been trying for two years, and
he hasn't succeeded yet. He has
failed, not because of that moder-
ately black mark on his record,
but simply because there haven't
been any jobs open for him.
So he is still in the market for
job, and he would have starved to
death long since if it had not been
for the WPA. That organization
has given him SERIES of jobs Gf
you can call them jobs) and has
kept him alive. He is a sort of
time-keeper on some WPA project

ed by employers. They will confer
with employers where there is doubt
as to an individuals liability. There
will be Offices in all three counties
as bases of operations, and every ef-
fort will be made toward giving
prompt service to employers.
The letter to employers mention
ed above explains that no contribu-
tion will be required at this time.
The first contribution, which will be
In the amount of 1870 of the total
payroll for the first nine months Of
1887, will be due on October 81, 1887.
A second contribution, for the re-
naming quarter of 1887. will be due
no later than January 90, 1888.
Thereafter contributions will be re-
quired monthly. Reports for these
contributions will be mailed TO all
employers considered liable.
Liability for contributions is bas-
ed on employment after January l,
1886. The amount of the liability is
based on wages payable for en-
ployment after January l, 1887. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, for en-
ployers to preserve all records per-
tanning to employment in 1886 and
1887.
After January 1, 1888, 1t will also
be necessary for employers to re-
port on the wages payable to each
worker as a basis for the computa-
tion of unemployment benefits. In
structions on the necessary records
will be issued later. Also in prepa-
ration is a pamphlet that will ex-
plain to the workers of the State
their privileges and benefits under
the Unemployment Compensation
Law.
1t is also hoped that within a
