He was no ordinary boy. His mind was to soar above the earthly disorders, | With a sweeping pen he was to stab the world’s | fallacies. With a few simple name high in literature. With a key and a kite he was to wrest from th clememts the-fyndamental secret of radio, the tele- week axioms he was to write his 2 phone, ¢h@ telegraph, lights, locomotion—whatever depends on electricity for its power. Benjamin Franklin, the boy, soon became Frank- lin, the man, and stepped firmly into the new estate. | He became a pioneer in peace, but when he signed | the Declaration df Independence and John Hancock | said to him: “We must all hang together,” Frank- lin replied: | “Yes, we must all hang together or most assured- | ly we will all hang separately.” i Franklin stood with kings.

Here are a few of the plain sayings of the printer | as :literature and will always live: The noblest question in the world'is, what good may I do in it? é Reading makes a full man—meditation a pro- Caesar did not merit the triumphant car more than he that conquers himself.

The Ford Profits The attempt of the government to collect addi- (7 known in the world and history may yet record it asthe greatest. Starting on the meager capital of $28,000 in 1903, the company earned $96,000,000 upto 1919 and since that time the profits have been even more notable. The significant point is that no more stock was ever sold in the company and the holders of that little capital stock have reaped a golden benefit for their faith in what was then a very bad risk. At the time the company was formed the auto- mobile was in its infancy and the future of the development was obscure and doubtful. Ford, how- He saw into the future and expansion if a car could be produced for the great masses of people who wanted transportation at low cost. As a salesman he sold his idea to anyone who would listen to him, as an organizer he inculcated a force of men with his energy and foresight and set them to work and as a financier he made bold strokes that gained vast fortune and prestige for those who had staked their money on his ability. Small investments paid huge incomes and then, in later years as Ford wanted to solidify his own interests in the concern, he began buying out vari ous stockholders, paying them millions and millions of dollars for shares that cost them hundreds. The achievements of Ford and his company will long stand as an illustration of what may be ac- é¢omplished by energy, foresight, ambition and one else. When Chaplin produces a film, he does | sO as a moving picture comedian, engaged in his daily work, by which he makes his living. When| he disagrees with his wife it is as Charles Chaplin, private citizen, The two personalities are and should be completely separated. | Steps taken to bar his films are not only uncalled | |for and grossly unfair, but betray a smallness of, mind and a disregard for reasonable conduct that ica had progressed beyond that stage. The women’s organization of Miami Beach, Flor-| ida, is to be commended upon their resolution pro- | testing against the barring of the Chaplin films. At least’ they have a broadminded, fair viewpoint that manifests itself in liking to see a man get a square deal. Auto Accidents i As the total of auto accidents increases day by day it becomes easily apparent that ‘more strenu- cus methods of examining prospective drivers must be inaugurated. It is pot enough that a person | shall be able to merely drive a car, but he should be able to drive it well. It is not enough that a person should be able to see somewhat, but his sight should be entirely normal and free from such de-| fects as would make him unreliable as an automo- bile driver. At present not encugh attention is paid | to this point and yet it is one which will bear aj great deal of regulation with profit to motorists and | pedestrians alike, Charles A. Harnett, commissioner of the bureau | of motor vehicles in New York state, however, has | seen the danger of imperfect vision in an automo. | bile driver and he has announced that after Janu- | ary 15 every person applying for a license to op-| erate a motor vehicle in New York must undergo! an eye test which has been prepared by an expert | optometrist. | The sight of each applicant will be examined just | before the driving test and if the examination shows defective vision the applicant will be advised | to correct the defect and if the applicant can later pass the test with or without glasses the license will be granted. This is assuredly a step in the right direction. Some forms of eye trouble so distort the vision that straight lines appear curved and there are “blind spots” or areas where nothing is registered on the eye when it lies within a certain portion of the range of vision. With traffic increasing so enormously and with the safety of millions of per- sons at stake it is high time that stricter require- ments concerning vision were enacted to properly regulate automobile drivers. | Editorial Comment | General Criticizes Army (Toledo Blade) One thousand American soldiers are deserting monthly in protest against insufficient food and poor housing conditions, Brig. Gen. Henry J. Reilly asserts in a magazine article on “Our Crumbling National Defense.” Excessive government economy is held to have demoralized the army personne] and prevented the maintenance cf proper military equip- ment. The discouraging state of affairs depicted by the veteran of the Rainbow division of the world war demands investigation, for while the army is com- paratively small in peace times it is the nucleus about which the armies of war times are built. Other protests of this nature have arisen in pre- vious years just as a new congress was soon to con- vene. Thought the national defense may truly be in woeful condition, congréssiona}, leaders may re- member the cries of “Wolf! Wolf!” raised by army heads heretofore and be inclined to listen with some doubt. is shocking to anyone who has thought that Amcrs! Why Not Get Evidence First?

There ‘of the suit brought against Charles | abroad. no evidence supporting his charge .that Senator! Brookhart of Iowa was a paid Icbbyist for a candi- date for membership in the Interstate Commerce Commission, he would withdraw the charge. That must have been a rather unpleasant thing to have to do, and very humiliating. And if Mr. Steck had waited until he got some evidence before talking, he wouldn't have had to do it. His is an error that is entirely too common. If everybody had to wait until he had good evi- dence before voicing evil witness against his neigh- bors, either there would be a great deal less conver- sation than there or talk would be much more useful than it is. And the funny thing about it is that generally people who would be the first to complain bitterly if somebody gossiped scandal about them without sound reason—if there CAN be sound reason for gossip and scandal—are those who are most given | to handling their neighbors’ reputations as though they were light and useless things that did not count. j Bureaucracy at Its Worst + (Milwaukee Journal) Boston has been witnessing a few tea party. The customs service of the Hub, acting under in- structions from a federal treasury official, has been confiscating and destroying all periodicals, except daily newspapeys, containing advertisements of alco- |‘ holic beverages received by mail from abroad. In- asmuch as nearly all such publications contain ad- vertisements of this sort, almost no magazines were admitted. Someone in the treasury department apparently based his decision on a clause in section 17 of the 00 HOUSE HEY, WILL, LOOKS LIKE YoU MIGHT SOME SPRING EARLY, Too HAVE TO CLEANING SAINE SE SINNER After Faith had been revived — by lthe hot tea--she could not pretend even to nibble at the toast, - which came in great, soggy wedges—Bob led her to where hi. near the courthous ar was parked Although her {whole body was trembling with weak- ness, and her mind registered almost nothing but a dull, unbelieving hor- ror, she held her head high and even managed to smile slightly as the click-click of cameras warned her that every moment of hers was _re- corded for the insatiably curious public. “But weakly, I don't see,” she protested tears beginning to run in a thin, unheeded stream down her white cheeks, now that they were safely away in Bob's car, “how the papers came out so—so soon.” Bob’s face was drawn with fatigue and worry about the girl over in th county jail, who aware now of the blow which had fallen upon her bright, But his voice was matter-of-fact, al- most cheerful, as he answered: “Oh, that’s easy to explain, darling. As soon as Banning sent out word to; the waiting reporters that the grand jury had returned a—a ‘true bill’ against Cherry and , the re- porters telephoned their city editors, and within a minute the extras were on the streets. I shouldn’t have let you wait,” he reproached himself. “You couldn’t have dragged me away,” Faith told him simply. “Will they let me see Cherry—now? She'll need me, Bob. Oh, Cherry! Poor little Cherry!” She bowed her head on her trembling hands and let the tears trickle through her fingers. “[ don’t know, dear, just what the district attorney will do now about visitors for Cherry. But I'll do my best to arrange Yhings for you. You must go home now, though, and I'll telephone to Banning and try to make him be reasonable. You've got to rest, Faith, or you'll go absolutely to pieces. They had driven almost to Myrtle Street before Bob spoke again. “After was. undoubtedly, proud head., hi I've tried to warn you that things look black for Cherry. There’s no use mincing words now. The grand jury could hardly do less than indict —under the cireumstances. Now we must concentrate all our efforts on running down the only two clues we have to the real murderer. Have you seen or found any cripples yet, dear?” he rallied her with a smile which was infinitely tender. His words braced her miraculously. “Thousands of people have been falsely accused of—of murder,” she nodded bravely. “And after all, we have got two clues. Will you see Stephen Churchill tonight?” “Of course,” Bob reassured her. “Hére we are. Why, hére eomes Long! 1 suppose they've heard. And your father!

It’s—it’s Mother! She’s—she’s—” The boy's voice broke on a great, tearing sob. “Dead! Faith's cold lips formed the word.

Lakes that breathe, canyons with triple echoes, twelve-pronged deer with charmed lives and herds of wild horses;—these are some of the fas- cinating features of the Caliofrnia Sierras. country photographed in making Paramount's “Man of the jForest,” from Zane Grey’s novel, which will be shown at the Eltinge Friday and Saturday. At one point, eleven thousand feet above sea level from which several shots were taken, thirteen mountain Inkes are visible, within a radius jof twenty-five miles, They might be dubbed Chromatic, or. Spectrum Lakes, because they are variously called, Red, Purple and Blue Lake. At sunrise and sunset they take on the colors for which they are named. One of them rises and falls as if it were breathing and scientists are searching for volcanic or glacial in- fluences to explain the phenomenon. On these meadows, high up in the hills, roam great herds of wild horses, which are being systemati- leally converted. They are driven to lowland corrals, loaded into cars and sent to the coast. This is the sort of wild country that forms a background for Zane Grey’s thriller. Jack Holt is co- featured with Georgia Hale and El Brendel. a [CIN NEW YorK i New.

The nar- rative of Judah’s love for Esther and his fortitude in avenging himself upon Messala is conveyed to the be- holder as forcefully and clearly as through the printed page or by the spoken word. The making of “Ben Hur” was di- rected by Fred Niblo and the princi- pal players are Ramon Novarro, Francis X. Bushman, May McAvoy, Claire McDowell, Kathleen Key, Carmel Myers, Nigel de Brulier, Mitchell Lewis, Leo White, Frank Cur- rier, Charles Belcher, Betty Bron- son, Date Fuller and Winter Hall. The large touring orchestra, which plays an elaborate and especially ar- ragend score, is. under the direction of Clarence West.
