them was that which evangelical

WRITER UPHOLDS TEXAS
STUDENTS LISTING RELIGION
AMONG SEVEN SINS"

Berlin, Conn,
March 20, 1913
editor Of The Democrat:
The press tells us Of the Texas
Legislature cracking down on the
University Of Texas student news
paper for listing religion among
the seven SINS 1t seems that the
list enumerated drunkenness, pros
tuition, poverty, begging, insecurity
race differences and religion"
The editorial In part says: RE.
ligion the Russians want none OF.
Their accusation against 1t seems
to be justified when they say that
religion In the past has been merely
an instrument Of force and supersti-
ton used by the state on one hand
and the church on the other to
hoodwink and intimidate the COM
mon citizen"
II the Texas Legislature had a
Chaplain who understood The Bible
well enough to call attention to its
facts, they would recognize the
truth OF the statements In the stu.
dent newspaper. Let us not get con-
fused by his word Religion" as
Christianity and Religion are very
much opposed TO each other as facts
will show. Many people are religion
lists but are positively not Christian.
Christians are followers OF Christ
Jesus while religionisfs are followers
OF men, OF tradition. Tradition Is so
rampant IN the land Of today that
many people trust TO the teachings
OF men and never take the trouble
TO read the Bible 20 see Il they are
right or not.
Read the fifteenth chapter OF
Matthew and note how the Jewish
clergy complained to Jesus that the
disciples transgressed the trad.
ton" Of the elders as they did not
wash their hands before they ate.
Note the answer which Jesus gave.
why do ye also transgress the
commandment OF God because Of
your tradition"

NAILS OR DOUGHBOYS?
Members Of Gen. DeGaulle's
delegation In washington are tell
ing how some Of them went down
to a certain beach near Casa
blanca to help the Americans,
having been tipped off In advance
that they wefe landing at 3 q. m.
However, they expected to see
the relatively flat helmets worn
by the British now and by U: S.
doughboys In the last war. In
stead the troops they saw storm
ing the surf wore the full helmet
Of the German type (now adopted
by the U. s. Army.
Afraid that they had received
the wrong information, the De-
Gaullists called out:
"Are you American sOldiers?"
"Yeah," came the drawled an-
Swer.
TO the Frenchmen, this meant
'"Yah," and convinced them they
had encountered Nazis, not dough-
boys. Finally, however, they saw
the stars and Stripes and decided
all was well.

Mail arriving to families OF soldiers
gives a hint of foreign places. Some OF
these are in the Pacific area; some OF
them in the African locale. Seals and
words appear in strange languages, and
the receivers try to put two and two To-
gether in deciding where the boys OF their
particular interest are. All OF this is
another impetus in the study OF geog-
raphy. We venture to say most OF us
are learning more about the Pacific IN It's
vastness than we have ever known before.

Selected Poem
THE RED CROSS MOTHER


(Arthur stringer In The New York Times)
I am the Mother whose quick hands
Bring balm TO grief and pain,
Bring bread to torn and broken lands
And solace TO the slain.
I walk where screaming bomb and shell
Spit hate about my head;
And where wars bleeding children zen
I come with quickened tread.
stoop where stark the wounded wait'
Where wan the rescued rest;
I lift them from scored fields OF hate
And hold them to my breast.
FOR, red with blood, this cross OF mine
Still floats on angel white
MY cross that stands. through Christ
the sign
OF mercies INFINITE.
And since through me the stricken live
And solace walks the world,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Tan Dancing

Do you think tap dancing Is hard
on a child's physical condition? My
daughter. 7is years old, is taking
lessons and she enjoys 1t and seems
| in fine health, but I often wonder
If It will affect her internal organs
when she gets older.
(Mrs. D. K.).
Answer-Tap dancing or any other
kind Of dancing Is fine for children.
/ It will not injure your daughter in
any way, now or when she Is older.
It is a good plan to have every child

Take My Word for 1t
Words to watch.

Here are five important words
that stream constantly from the
radio, and few broadcasters, lay or
professional, pronounce them cor
rectly.
Production is pronounced either
"pri-DUK-shun" or "pree-DUK-
shun" The latter doubtless is the
result of false association with re
duction." But the first syllable
should rhyme with hoe, toe, as:
proe-DUK-shun.
Coupon usually is pronounced
"KEW-pon, although there is not a
single word in English in which the
initial cou- has the kew" sound as
IN kewpie. In coupon, as in coupe,
the first syllable is ''koo." Be sure
to say KOO-pon.
Schedule, by false analogy with
actual, factual, annual, is pro-
nounced "SKEDGE-yoo-ul." Like
wise, essential is mispronomced zee
SEN-choo-ull, and substantial be-
comes "sub-STAN-choo-u -ull." One
may soon expect to hear official as
"oh-FISH-ull." And why not?
Stranger things than that come out
OF loud speakers in these days.
The correct pronunciations are !:
SKEDKE-ool, essen -shull, sub
STAN-shull.
The five words for today's COL
umn were grouped together after
hearing a Washington broadcaster
declare that airplane "pree-DUK-
shun" had fallen below "SKEDGE-
yoo-ull," and that the reduction in
gasoline "KEW-pon" values would
bring about Sub STAN -choo-ull"
decrease in "non-ee-S SEN -choo-ull"
driving. Five glaring errors in one
breath.

West opened the club jack. South
took the ace, cashed the ace and
king Of spades and led another
spade. East, who had kept the
spade queen, had to win the trick.
Now, knowing it would be fatal to
lead club into dummy, East tried
to fool South. He cashed the dia-
mond ace, then led low diamond.
He thought South might now be
void and would trump. But South
played the jack and overlook it
with dummy's queen. The diamond
ten was next led from dummy.
This time East put on the king,
but 1t was South's turn to refuse

the trick. South played the three OF
hearts and let East win.
And now, holding only clubs and
diamonds, East had to lead so as to
give dummy two more tricks and
South two more discards, SO that
South made his contract.
Originally 1t appeared that South
had six losing tricks in his hand,
three hearts, two diamonds and a
spade. He lost only three of these,
because East could not get out of
the lead.

The high price of clover seed will

The M. P. Church at Clayton, is
to be set off as station, leaving
the country appointments, Bethes-

Among the bills in the great rush
on Wednesday in the Legislature
was one entitled "The Smyrna and
Woodland Beach Electric Railway"
The bill also gives the corporators
the privilege of establishing an
electric lighting plant in Smyrna.
The commissioners named in the
bill are Edwin R. Cochran, VIM. A.
C. Hardcasle, Franklin Temple and
others, capital stock, 100000, the
reporter not deeming it necessary
to name the Others, with such
capitalists as the above. The peo-
pie of Bombay Hook, Bay View,

cerned about the success of the en-
terprise when two of three men
commanding 100000 are at the
back of the enterprise. We are
only waiting for the act to pass the
to see the work COM
mence. The rivalry between the
eleceric railway and the merry-go-
round will be lively during the heat
of the summer. AS to the electric
light plant in this town we shall
not look for it before the growing
nights of autumn.
