FAMOUS LEADER RECALLED

The churches have been celebrat
ing the Tooth anniversary of Dwight
l.. Moody, famous evangelist who was
born February S. 1897. Mr.. Moody
stirred the Christian world as no re-
ligious leader in modern times had
done. He not merely told the peo-
pie to have faith in God. but his prac-
tical sense told him how to appeal
to people. He used to say that the
way to prove that a stick was
crooked. was not to argue about it,
but to lay it beside one that was
straight.
Mr.. Moody was great believer in
combining education with religion
He felt that religion must be intelli-
gent to conquer the world. the flesh.
and the devil. So he founded two
great schools to aid boys and girls
of limited means. Though he is
dead. he still speaks through thou
sands of school graduates.

used by most persons in reporting

The names of all employees to

The information return should be
made on form 1899, accompanied by
transmittal form 1896, showing the

THE PERMANENT UNEMPLOYED

The Federal Relief Administration
estimates the number of people who
will be permanently unemployed at
100000. 1t seems singular, now
when business activity is practically
back to normal. that so many people
must be permanently deprived of a
chance to labor for daily bread.
Sometimes unemployment is peo-
pies own fault. The man who groans
every time he is asked to do stroke
of real work will never be popular
in business concerns. Many old and
otherwise feeble people are not fit
to do a days work.
The person who can work, but is
too lazy to do so. is a blot on the
community. He need not expect
that the job of relieving his neccssi-
ties will be popular.

THE sTORY OF OUR LIVES


In former days, people used to sci
out in early January to keep a diary
or journal, in which they wrote down
what they did each day. Many oil
these records were an intimate ac-
count of peoples thoughts, hopes,
fears, and loves. II you dig down In
that old storeioom where you keep
family records, you win probably
find some quaint and perhaps thrill
ing stories of these former lives.
Many of the old-timers recorded
their emotions in great detail. II
they could not get along with Pa or
Ma, they committed their thoughts
to the sacred condolences of these
pages. Feelings they would not
dare express to any living person,
dislikes and passions they would
never reveal to their friends were
recorded in those pages.
The gradual decline of this habit
of keeping personal diaries and
journals shows how the world has
changed. In the simple old days
there were few sports or amuse-
ments. People found occupation for
idle hours in writing daily story
of their lives, and often they let off
a good deal of hot steam in telling
this story. Today people look
ahead instead Of behind, and are
thrilled by the enjoyments of the |
day. or worried by its anxieties.
Their past experiences settle into
the realm of forgetfulness. The
many people who receive the gift of
a nice diary or dated journal. are apt
to use it to note the engagements of
future days. rather than the events
Of the past.
Almost the entire thought of the
modern world goes into the things
/ is doing today. and the things ii
hopes to do i'm future days. An age
hat thus concentrates on the pres
mt is capable of doing big things.
But it should not forget the lessons
hat past years have taught, or it
nay make the same old mistakes
'ver again.

GIFT TO YOUNG AMERTCA

One of the most generous gift
ever made to the young men of tn,
land, is provided for by the Will O
the late Charles Hayden, New Yorl
banker. Mr.. Hayden has been called
the human dynamo of the financial
railroad. and Industrial world" He
has provided the means by which
that dynamic power will operate for
ever. in a munificent gift to the
young men of the nation.
His fundamental aim was to keep
the young men from had Influences.
He has made the most generous pro-
visions to assist needy youths, pro-
vide recreation centers, educational
scholarships. and other opportuni-
ties which ambitious youths covet
for their development.
Such a charity strikes at the root
of poverty and crime. When you
find criminal or an unsuccessful
man. his faults and failures are
usually due to some lack Of oppor-
tunity in his youth. If that door Of
opportunity could have been opened
on some critical day. he might have
taken advantage of favorable
chances, and gone on to a happy
life.
Many of our philanthropies simply
try to cure the troubles Of the world
after they have happened. That is
all fine and noble. Such aid must
be given. But the philanthropy that
takes young men at the plastic age
when they can be shaped into de-
sirable forms, seems likely to ac-
more. 1t checks the stream
Of failure and error at its source.
When you turn a boy from some |
evil way in which he was beginning
10 enter. you may save the communi- |
" uncounted evils and losses. Or |
when you take boy who has not
Ieen able to make good. and show
low he can do things. you turn a
possible vagrant and recipient of
public aid into a self reliant pro-
lucer. This gift is a great event
n social progress.

COST OF THE FLOOD

Officials in the flooded distric
along the Ohio River estimate thai
the expense of drying out and clean
ing up a single flooded home will
average $25O.OO.
When you fill a home up to the
second story with dirty water. there
il loss that can never be repaired
except by heavy expenditure. Many
rugs and carpets will be ruined for
ever, and all require the services of
an expert cleaner. The wallpaper
will not come back where it was be-
fore. Furniture may not be ruined.
but the repair man should go over
it, carefully.
Many families can not afford TO
spend much money on these restora-
tions. and will clean up the best they
can themselves. Yet something has
been taken out of their furnishings
that can't be restored. The cost of
removing heaps of refuse, of restor-
ing damaged buildings and roads
will mount into the hundred mil
lions. II this food costs billion
dollars, 1t will not be surprising.
The folks who have been saving
and struggling for years to build up
a nice and pretty home. must be sick
at heart. Even if their dwelling has
not been weakened by the strain of
swollen waters, il is heart breaking
to see those pleasant home scenes
turned into desolation by the power
of an angry river
These losses are likely to continue
worse and worse as years go OH.
The water sweeps off the hill and
mountain sides, as it did not do in
days when heavy forest growth held
back this flow Deep gullies have
been dug by this flowing water, so
that the rains rush off like water
through the spout on a house. The
country must come to the rescue of
these stricken valleys, and start food
control work on greater scale. !

Chaplin Married. Now
Divorced by Cossips

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. I6. (UP)
Hollywood gOssips cOnfOunded
the laws of man and the rules
of reason today by deciding that
Charlie Chaplin-whO never has
admitted that he's married-is
about to get divorce!
Chaplin lives i'm castle on
the top Of Beverly hill. His
leading lady. Miss Paulette God
dard, lives there, too. Surround
ing this establishment is a wall
thick enough TO thwart even the
gimlet-eyes of the tattle-t tales.
Inside this barrier dogs which go
"w0Of''. Outside are guards which
do the same. '.0.
There is telephone within,
but the 48-year old Chaplin won't
answer it. Neither will the 26-
year-Old Miss Goddard. And
when they 60 out, they sneak.
i'm smoked glasses and whiskers
and whatnOt and if anybody asks
'em are they wed they just say
"boo.' Sometimes they turn up
their disguised noses and say
nothing at all.
Three years ago it was, in
June when a young mans fancy
lightly turns to love, that Chap
lin and Miss Goddard boarded
his million dollar yacht, the Pa
nacea. THAT means "All-healing
remedy.")
They sailed into the setting
sun and nothing more was heard
from them for months. About the
time that the all-healing- remedy
was nOsing into Saigon, or may
be it was Singapore. or Hong
Kong, there were printed here
reports that they had been mar
ried by the captain Of ship.
The skipper said upon his re-
turn that he didn't know any
thing about any marriage. He
had another beer and added that
he never was much at saying
prayers anyway.
Miss Goddard got into the
Beverly Hills mansion without
having to say anything, thanks
to those dark glasses. Chaplin
wasn't so lucky. He got button
hOIed and these are the words he
uttered:
81 have nothing to say"
In 1885, or one year later,
there were published more re-
ports that the Chaplin Goddard
romance had gone onto the same
rocks that the all-healing-reme-
dy had avoided OH its voyage.
