It has been no credit to the United States that our Army has had to struggle along on poorer food rations than the average American working man enjoys, and it was a serious mistake to cut expenses in such a matter. Everyone knows that there are a thousand ways the government can save plenty of money without starving its army to death. There is such a thing as carrying a good thing too far and certainly the effort to save on the food allowance to our soldiers is an excellent illustration of such a condition. (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Se Student Heroes Not all heroes are to be found on the field of battle or in prominent places. Many heroic acts are accomplished right under our noses, yet seem commonplace. The reason, no doubt, is that we con- ceive of heroism as endangering life. Yet there are heroes who accomplish splendid work for mankind through great suffering, but perhaps at no actual risk of life. We refer now to various volunteers { who have supmitted to infections so that medical 4 sélgnce “ean / something to benefit the whole fman race, he latest instance of this spirit is embodied in the offer of fifty students of the New York Home- opathic Medical college to submit to artificial in- jections of the poison of bees and spiders over long pefiods so that the effect of these poisons may be accurately studied. Medical science believes that there may even be something beneficial to the hu- man system from these poisons and through the experiments hopes to find out. The tests will last at least a year and during that time the volunteers will be under the closest super- vision. They will be required to keep a record of their doings in notebooks. Various conditions of their physical beings will be charted daily and in a e number of other ways science will attempt to assem- ble data that may aid in the treatment of afflicted human beings. ‘We submit that this is true heroism. Not the “spur of the moment” kind that may as easily be bred of excitement as of real courage, but the de- liberate placing of oneself in the grip of an un- known quantity so that the human race may suffer less. It shows an unselfish, sacrificing attitude of mind that is rare indeed in this prosaic, money- grabbing universe of ours. May we extend our con- gtatulations to these young people for their splendid spirit and hope that their self-imposed suffering will have the most beneficial of results. Signs of Spring (Duluth Herald) It is a little cold some of these days, and yet couple of months away. That is not long. Seed catalogues with lovely pictures of blooming flowers and luscious vegetables crowd the mail boxes, and brighten the homes. How longingly one looks at them and starts planning for the coming only to dig them out later for further study. Then the days are growing longer and the sun is getting higher and stronger. Even when the mercury is low, the edges of the ice and snow melt a little in sheltered places at noon and the snow banks everywhere are getting hard on top, form- ing a crystal shield which will be no protection later on as the sun warms up again. Someone saw a robin not far from here the other day. He insists it was one of these hard-working birds, and not, as the experts say, only a grosbeak, a variety that often lingers here the winter through. The birds know well enough when the peak of the winter has passed, and once in a while adventurous ones come too early for their own comfort. Very soon, and perhaps even now, green vege- tables grown outdoors, farther south, will be filling the stands and crowding the citrus fruits that are always on hand. The gardens are coming north for the season. They will before long be fruitful and beautiful right here in this neck of the woods. Domestic animals are out every day. They ignore the recurrent cold, instinctively knowing that its reign is passing and that soon all the land will be blooming once again. The moral? Only this: truth, love and beauty crushed to earth will always rise again. “If winter comes, can spring be far be- hind?” Navy No Reform School A recorder of Atlantic City, N. J., has embroiled himself with the, United States navy by sentencing a disorderly youth to “enlist in the navy or go to jail for six months.” The reaction to this implied slur on the character of the men in the naval serv- ice did not hesitate in making itself heard in the form of a letter from Commander Walter B. Decker, recruiting officer. “The navy is not and never will be a reform school. There isn’t room in the service for disrepu- SAIN] =e SINNER ‘or as much as it hath pleased Almighty God in His Providence to take out of the world the soul of our deceased sister—" Deceased! The word was like d sharp knife turning in her heart. The mother whom she could remem- ber as a strong, cheerful, willing worker, singing about the house, scolding and praising three trouble- some little children—herself, Junior and an adorable little elf called Cher- ty—deceased! No, no, she had es- caped from pain and sorrow and the disgrace of Cherry's trial for mur- der. Suddenly Faith knew that she was glad that her mother was dead. If only she could have died without knowing that the most dreadful of calamities had overtaken the child she had adored above everything else on earth or in heaven— “The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with us all evermore. Amen.” Faith opened her eyes, which had been streaming tears unheeded, and f to watch them lower to the grave. When the mps of frozen earth clumped joy, with a shriek of realization and de- spair, flung off her father’s comfort- ing arm and ran, before anyone could stop her, to the very byink of the grave. “Mummy, Mummy! I want to go with you!” Joy’s shrill voice rose and eracked’on such agony as Faith had not dreamed the child was capable of. It was Faith who reached her first, took the writhing, convulsed little body into her arms. “I'm go- ing to be your Mummy now, darling. T'll be good to you, Joy.” TOMORROW: Cherry is arraigned on the charge of murder and her case set for trial. = the headline: Firemen periled in rub- bish blaze. : (Copyright, 1927, A Service, Ine.)

This is another Warner picture as were ‘these universal favorites of fandom, "The Marriage Circte," “Kiss Me Again” and the more serio “Lady Windermere’s’ Fan.” Lubitsch is able to catch the de- litium ‘of ‘the jazz‘age, and yet to capture the underlying humanity of the characters which glitter across the’ shadowy canvas of the silver Sereen, His characters are never puppets, but vivid and living, and more to be remembered than. most we meet in actual life, Monte Blue end Patsy Ruth Miller are featured in “So This Is Paris” as two ,devot- ed newly-weds, who get unwittingly into unbelievably ludicreus compli- cations with the couple across the street, played by Andre de Beranger and Lilyan Tashman. “So This Is: Paris” | quickens the blood, makes one forget the busi: worries and the family cares.
