The strict and sym- pathetic carrying out of this trust is earnestly approved by the people of Rhe country. That trust Is the caring for our men who were disubled fight- 4ng in the great war, No matter how people look upon Rhe bonus question, there Is no man por woman, boy nor girl, organization or group who or which dares to take gn ‘hesitant stand upon this matter, pven though the desire to aid the dis- Bbled men is but luke warm-—and it 5 doubtful if there is the slightest Rack of anxlety in any quarter to carry ‘on this work. 1t doesno good to comment upon the pccusations against a man alleged to ‘have in a way betrayed this trust or “fwho, it is claimed, mishehaved while While occupying an important posi- glon in regard %o it. But it is neces- gary to emphasize again and again the Bacredness of this trust, and the ne- Roessity of scrutinizing closely the char- ‘mcter of a person before he is placed in such position that would enable him, if so minded, to harm this cause, and the necessity of following down impartially and sternly any allegations fof such betrayal if they are made with any basis of fact. Whatever men and and groups may say about the bonus, mo men, groups nor organizations may say truthfully that the former service men in this country have been treated "aith generosity and kindness. As far as they are concerned they might just as wéll have stayd at home, if one leaves out of consideration the splen- . did joy of the consciousness that cach sformer service man posses that he did what he was in duty called upon to _do. But this consciousness, this joy, . helps him not at all in the fight he has _to make today, It helps him little, in Epructice. to get a job; it helps him . little to keep a job, found to be a wtrific more difficult, perhaps, since the “coming of the reaction from the strain of the war, the shells, the tumult. ‘ Even the spoken words of apprecia- “'tion are few, swallowed up in the . elamor raised in some quarters that {the former service men will ruin the ‘eountry if. they insist upon receiving %khe bonus. But, for the moment, leave these wfcomparatively able-bodied former ;. 'service men out of the question. Let ghem shift for themselves, if you are of that disposition which encourages < forgetfulness. Leave them out of khought, and concentrate upon those others—those shell-shocked men, gkhose disabled men, those men to whom lite will never be the same be- fause of the suffering through which they have passed anM through which khey may be passing today.

If there is any corroboration need- ed for the honest words of this great be delayed have is the important physician it may be found in the lites of persons who have suffered from tu- berculosis, As long as such persons, practically cured, obey the rules laid down for them there is no return of themalady, As soon as they deviate from those rules, the disease iy apt to return. This fact has been presented to New Britain people foreibly by Dr, Russell Lyman in some of his talks here, We are all {1l in some particular, A person of forty would prolong his or her life undoubtedly were he or she to follow the rules laid down by some wise physiclan, The boy twelve years old does not not realize his debt to sclence. But his parents realize it for him, and it is for them to impress upon bim great benefit of which there may be no question. The boy will live longer; the man will live longer, all because devoted men and women have given their lives to the study of medical science. With those twelve years added, or those seventeen years, how much farther should the man and the boy of today go in achievement! How much more deeply should he study the chances to bring something fine into the world, and how much pro- gress should ecome to’the world be- cause of the added span of life that has been given him! If this emphasizing of the situation inspires onc man to add these five vears to his life, and if he makes them productive years, and if this em- phasizing of Dr. Mayo’s words impels boys of today to realize their greater advantages and to use them to them to the utmost, then the emphasizing of his fact will have been worth while. THE WOMAN “SCOLD" 1t is quite necessary to differentiate between “scolds.” For there are men “scolds" as there arc men “gossips” just as scoldy and a gossipy as their feminine friends to whom the same characterization will apply. So please,| do not thinks we are limiting our re- marks to women scolds. The story which suggests thege simple thoughts is about a woman scold, however, and that 1s the reason why the pronoun “she” is used. Well, this woman scold in New Jer- sgy was hailed before the court by her indignant neighbors who could stand it no longer, and was fined $300 and sentenced to serve six months in jail, the latter portion of her punish- ment heing suspended. It is reported that there is an old law in New Jer- sey which would have made it pos ble to duek her on a ducking stool-—— which would not have been pleasant at this season ofthe year. She was shown, according to the re- port, to have continually berated her neighbors and to have circulated de- them, Of course, the idea of hringing a woman far ory stories about to court talking like this seems rather old-fashioned. It isn't done, all. And the idea of ducking is absurd, Advanced with all are no for that's her civilization that of course. has done thing. away sort of Women | longer “common scolds.” Rather, they | ¢..- 1 hav- | tle story | the |a | And wait a minut announcement | sible that th will read this lit- the customs of and man as well and smile at residents interested | those old days when there were “com- non scolds” and “ducking stools” and like Rut just & moment! TIsn't there a possibility that on occasions there has wppeared upon the faces of our neigh- bors the look of irritation which was characteristic of the common scold?

Some of the Inventors are still alive. One of the experimenters with the power, Charles P, Bteinmets, has his death chronicled today, His name will 'be coupled with many inventions in years to come that seem as tech- nical and are as remote in our under- standings to us as the telephone and telegraph wero to the people of a few years ago. We blush, us elders, to admit it, but the understanding of wireless telegraphy and the radio- phone, are things that the young folks know well, and we find ourselves hopelessly Involved as we try to un- derstand them, Not long ago, within a year or a0, the press told of the discovery of Steinmetz that he could control and direct minjature bolta of lightning that contained but a small fraction of the power In a nature-bred bolt, but which accomplished wonders in split- ting logs and performing-such feats under the hand of the wizard, Frank- lin, in a generation that is but once removed ours, discovered the spark from tho sky.

He has not done any- thing of great moment with his bolts, but who can say what use will be made of his knowledge in the com- ing gencration? Deformed in body the inventor was possessed of a keen mind and a stu- dious disposition. The romance of his achievements appeal to most of us, though his thorough investigation of more technical details connected with electricity may be of the most interest to professionals in that sci- ence, The world watches and admires the kind of a man that Steinmetz was, it feels its loss when he is called hence.

Evans, eutlining attitude toward Catholics Father John P. Burke, general see. retary of the Catholie conference, de elared Dr, By ' statement regarding the Catholies in America had made the lssue clear-cut, adding that “it is for Americans to deeide whether they will stand with their country or with the Kian" Challenging the Kian to a joint de. bate, Rabbhi Kimon Glager of New York declared the question at issue was whether Jewish Americans are to be considered Americans, or, accord. ing to the XKlan, whether they must first be converted Americans, “T'he statement reported In the press as made by W, H, Evans, Im- perial Wizard of the Ku Kinx Klan," sald Pather Burke's statement, “re. veals without further question the Klan's intolerance for the negroes, Jews and Catholies, Up to the pres- nt, in spite of statement and evidence to the contrary, the Klas has denied that it persecuted any of the above named, Svans states that to the Catholie lierarchy of the United States, the President of the United States is sub- ordinate to the priesthood at Rome; that the parochial schools of the coun- try are a proof of ‘divided’ allegiance on the part of Catholics, He offers no proof of these statements, He cannot offer proof. They are de- Iiberate, maliclous misstatements, re- futed completely, If refutation were needed, by the official declaration of the American bishops on America's entrance into the war; by the thou- eands of Cathollc dead buried over- seas; by the fact that the first Ameri- can officer killed was cducated in a Catholle school and the last Ameri- can killed was a Catholic priest, “Phe Klan, through its official rep- resentative, sets at naught the Decla- ration of Independence, the Constitu- tion of the United States and the Con- stitution of every state in the Union.

C., Oct. 26.—A far- mer's wife, near here, noticed for several days that one of her best lay- ing hens reported at feeding time, but seemed to lay no ggs.

On cutting the gnake open these were found to be egas. A few seconds after the eggs had been cut out of the snake's body a single ‘“peep” surprised the farmer and his wife, They found that two of the cggs had hatched.
