SMOOT
Il am fighting a hard battle
because 1t is a battle Of mind
against emotion. of good will
against bitterness, Of truth
against distortion, Of fact against
fear. Of unorganized independ-
ence against an underground
organization powerful in politics
and a battle between modera.
ton and fanaticism.
when a sane solution to this
problem Is found. 1t will not be
found by the extremists but BY
the moderates. Today in Amer
lea we have on the left radicals
who would defy the law of the
land in order to reach a Com.
munist Utopia and we have or
the right radicals who woulc
defy the law Of the land when.
ever. as my opponent has advo.
Gated. the laws are plainly
wrong Defiance of the Law
whether from the left or the
right can create only one statu,
and that status is anarchy. One
hundred years ago men preached
defiance Of law which ended In
secession and civil war.
Schools Chief Issue
THE issue overshadowing al
others in this campaign is tn,
issue Of the public schools. M,
position on this issue is tn,
moderate position. First, / favoI

II will result in some indignation
But let me emphasize again ant
again that there is no way unde

Then, Mr.. Smoot said h,
wanted to introduce a new issu
of equal Importance - freedom

Before this public gathering

that he wanted no part Of their

From the floor, Senator Boothe
arose and made pleadings TO Mr..

sponded that he was bound by
his informant not 10 disclose the

Twins Trick
Nd. U. Boys,
But NotGirIs

The identical ellis twins
Peter and Paul-learned many
things during the past four years
at the University Of Maryland
and the greatest Of these was
that girls can tell them apart
and boys can't.
"One date and they have us
nailed down." the 22-year-old
twins said, We've known teach
ers and guys for three or four
years who can't tell US apart.
When they graduate this week
with 1000 others. the Gillises
will be separated for the first
time in their lives. Peter. who
plans to marry a Georgetown
University nursing student. Rita
Werner, will work in the WASH
ington Office of Arthur Young
a. Co., an accounting firm.
Paul will go to the New York
Office Of the company.
Graduating In Business
They are graduating from the
College Of Business and Public
Administration, both as account
ing majors. This comes natur-
ally. Their father. James ellis,
Of 1904 Sundale drive, Silver
Spring. is a certified public ac-
countant with his own office.
Both twins are in Phi Sigma
Eta. freshman scholastic honor
airy society, and Beta Alpha Psi,
an accounting honorary.
The boys always have dressed
alike and stuck together. When
they grew up they did good
job Of It: They stand about g.
feet 1 inches tall.
What about this twin business.
do they switch identities and
otherwise try to fool people?
In some cases it isn't neces-
sary. the twins said. In some Of
their classes. the instructors
have been known to call on
whichever ellis knows the an
swer.
Try at Switch Failed
They tried a switch them
selves once when they were in
seventh grade music class at
Mcfarland Junior High School.
Paul, alto. and Peter. a soprano,
changed identities at the urging
of classmates. The sharp ear
of the music teacher caught the
change and the twins say they
have never tried it on a teacher
since.

Jehovah's
Witnesses
Convention

Bonnie Crumo announced that
the Watchtower Bible and Tract
Society of New York is sponcor-
ing a three-day training program
in Clearwater. The program will
be held May 1912 at PinellaS

of the local congregation of Je-
hovah's Witnesses here, made the
announcement at the close of the
ministry-development class last
night at the Kingdom Hall, 613
NV End ave.
Mr.. Crump explained that Je-
hovah'S Witnesses realize the inn
portance of gaining accurate
knowledge. For it was the Great
Teacher of Nazareth, Christ Jesus,
who said, MAN must live, not on
bread alone, but on every utter
ance coming forth through Jeho-
vah's mouth" (Matt. A, New
World Trans.)
Robert Turner of the same con-
gregation said, "Jehovah'S Wit
nesses assemble regularly at con-
gregational meetings and also at
conventions where there is wor-
hip and concentrated preaching
of the Good News of the Kingdom
for the benefit of others. C'~is-
tian fellowship of this kind Is
practical and meets the approval
Of the King. For he said, Where
there are two or three met to-
gether in me name, thefe l ann in
their midst"

vital thoughts on health and how

bell, our Temperance leader. No
one can deny that we are living
in a sick world today. Many are
dying because of intemperance in
one form or another. S o m
Christians and religious leaders
look upon those who use strong
drinks and smoke excessively as
being Incorporate.
Elder Campbell pointed out
several facts on intemperance
that are being practiced by the
followers Of Jesus, that should Foe
stopped. A balanced diet is one Of
'n'ials to good health; the
proper use of water, internal ana
external; the right kind of exer-
e. e, sunlight, rest, and fresh air
especially when we are asleep for
the night. The thought on prop

attitude toward life.

that they be prosperous and in

Elder D. Williams, pastor
Sis. Ethel Cooper, reporter

School of Wisdom started
at 1000 am. with the superin-
tendent at his post. The subject
of the lesson was Book Of Be-
ginners," Genesis liz.
Gods greatest creation was the
beginning of things. It would be
impossible to give more fitting
name to the first book of t h e
Bible. The book describes for u.
the genesis" or beginning of
many things and institutions which
are important in our lives even
today; the universe, man, sin,
work, plan of redemption, Gods
covenant with man, worship and
the family.
In as much as God has given
u his beginning, it is time for
us to reconsider and give him our
beginning in our lives. If ever was
time we needed to seek the
Lord, it's now. For God so loved
the world that he gave his only
begotten Son that whatsoever be-
lieveth in Him .hould not perish
but have eternal life"

being held in Brownsville. Sister

possible for him to be perfect in

The activities of the Sunday
School are just aglow with in

formation. The attendance is fine,
many children seeking to join the
church. Christ said long years ago,
Suffer little children to dome
unto me, ETC."
We certainly enjoyed the SER
mon of Rev. Polite on Sunday
morning. His treatise was on "a
Closer Walk With God," and was
well developed.
A beautiful spirit was exhibited
Sunday afternoon when many of
the members accompanied h e
pastor to Homestead to deliver
