An Open Door to Freedom and
Opportunity.

On John Street in Old New
York is the Methodist Church, found
ed by the Reverend Philip Embury,
the first Methodist minister in this
country and the leader of a band
of German refugees. Ordained by
John Wesley, he and his brave fol-
lowers were kicked about Germany
Holland and Ireland because of their
religious belief. Finally they sought
a haven here and founded the Meth
odist Church in this country. In the
old church we may still see the altar
and altar rail made by Embury's
own hands and the Bible from which
he read.
This shrine is a tribute to En-
bury and Methodism, yes, but even
a greater honor to Americanlsm.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

According to the story John
Marshall, while Chief Justice OF the
u. S. Supreme Court, was out driv-
ing one day and in some manner
the shaft of his sulky became bro
ken. The repair job was puzzle
and he was nearly at his wits end,
when colored man sauntered
along. The negro was called on
for assistance, and he, with an air
of superiority, drew his pocket
knife, whitfield brace from SIP
ling and spliced the shaft. Mr..
Marshall thanked him and praised
his skill, but the negro walked off,
remarking, Some folks has got
sense and some amt got none
In the estimation of the colored
man, Mr.. Marshall was simply no
good because simple repair job
like that stumped him. The remark
must have amused him greatly. In
his early life as a farmer and sol
der, he had, no doubt, been prac-
teal mechanic himself, but now he
had become an eminent jurlst. For
many years he had centered his
mind and devoted all his energy to
legal study. He had been trying to
do one thing and do it well.
It is impossible to be everywhere
at the same time. Very few per-
sons are able to do several things
well. In these days of specializa-
ton, no man can follow several lines
and expect to hold his own in the
competitive race.
If man is spread over too much
surface he will make little, if any
impression. But if you hammer
him down with the sledge of some
weighty purpose, then, even i
there is no more of him than viii

Women in politics are not new. They have background of two dec- ades of voting and campaigning. Women, two of them, have served in the Senate of the General Assembly of Connecticut, and many women have served in the House of Repre- sentatives. But for high office, their appearance on the ticket still is so new that no tradition has been es- tablished, as to the unfailing tech- nique which lady politicos must fol- low, on the allegation that such a technique is sure fire in attracting votes.
 Men who brush themselves of and find that somehow or other they have been nominated for high office. become almost as tough cast in a mold: Each must be a man of the people," each must be family man; each must have hobby; and the more fraternal orders and social clubs he can belong to, the better.
 women in politics, however, con- foHm to no pattern, and 1t is well that this Is so, for it would be hard for an individualist like Chase Going Woodhouse, the attractive, person. able and highly intelligent mother of two children to conform to pat tern.
 For the first time in history. both major parties nominated woman for the same office, and the present secretary of state, Sara B. Crawford, who was renominated, and Mrs. Woodhouse, who sought her place, have quite few holdings in com- mon, one of the which is there in- terest in Connecticut College, at New London, which last week ob- served its 25th anniversary.
 There, at the college on the hill in New London, opposite which is the United States Coast Guard Academy, and which, from a modest beginning has acquired in quarter of a century a nationwide reputa- ton, Mrs. Woodhouse is a Profess sor Economies.
 She and her husband were col lege instructors when they met and were married, he at Yale and she at Smith, and the famed Dr. William Allen Neilsen brought them both to Smith College at Northampton. There, their two children were born, and there Professor Edward J. Woodhouse was elected as the Dem ocratic mayor of Northampton, at the time when a Northampton eX- mayor, Calvin Coolidge, was Presi- dent of the United States
 The Woodhouses live at New London now. While Professor Chase Woodhouse is teaching her classes economics, and labor problems, her husband, for several months each year, is teaching other classes prob lens of government at the Univer- sity of North Carolina, returning to the family home at each recess of his university
 Besides her work at Connecticut College, Mrs. Woodhouse is a CO., founder and is now managing di- rector of the Institute of Women's Professional Relations, an organiza- ton devoted to the study of work opportunities for young people, and

Mailman Lives Up
To Postal Slogan
Neither SnO,v Nor Rain Nor
Heat Stops Carrier.

DENSON'S LANDING, TENN
The man who brings the mail to
Denson's Landing is bothered by
neither snow nor rain nor heat nor
night, but he does worry about mud
fats and snags.
The famed slogan of the post Of
flee department fails to take into
account the problems facing A. F.
Crockett, who daily sputters up to
the pier in a rickety motorboat at
the end of his Camille route along
the Tennessee river.
Star route No. 27100 is one Of the
few remaining water routes in the
country. Crockett gets $1,000 yearly
for making the deliveries Except on
Sundays and holidays) and has to
furnish boat, fuel and crew. His
crew is John Matthews, son Of a
Negro slave and native of the river
banks.
Each day about noon, depending
upon the condition of the river, the
Virginia B. pulls into Denson's
Landing and John carries the single
bag of mail to the post office. He
returns with the outgoing mail and
within a few minutes the boat is
on its way back to it's Johnsonville
base.
On its way up the river it calls
at Sycamore, Cuba and Daniels
Landing.
Denson's Landing is only IS miles
from Linden, the county seat, but it
takes mail as long as three days to
get here. It is taken to Nashville,
then sent to Johnsonville to be
brought down by the Virginia B.
Once safe in town it is delivered by
Postmaster Hugh M. Haynes and o.
B. DePriest, who carries the single
rural route.
But the future looks dark for the
mail boat. A reservoir is being
built which will force construction
of new highways, one of which is
intended to come to Denson's Land
ing. If that happens the mail will
come in trucks from larger centers,
and the post office itself may be
abandoned. ,
But the Virginia B. doesn't worry
about that. She keeps plugging
along up and down the river, dodg-
ing snags as well as she can. She
lives up to the spirit of the post Of
fees slogan, even though the cir
cumstances are different.

LARAMIE, WYO.-Workmen on
the University of Wyoming campus,
digging excavations for new build

neers who were buried more than a
half century ago.
Then their shovels struck a fourth
coffin. Before dozen more spades
of earth were turned a crowd Of
over 200 was watching. Gently the
workmen scraped away the soil
from the rotting boards.
Suddenly the decrepit lid lifted.
Out stepped a masked figure clad
in black coat, heavy boots, and
brown fur cap. On his back was this
sign:

sity show"
Cops unsnarled the traffic jam
and learned it was a publicity gag
