The farther we go from home, the more. important that citizenship seems to vs. Across the ocean, the knowledge that we a American citizens gives a courage under danger, perhaps, or in embarrassing positions, nothing, else would bring. 4nd it would be well for remember, today, that the reason we have a right to feel strong and safe | and respected on foreign shores is be- | cause there exists a strong American | Navy. It is the protection to the American citizen wherever he may be or wherever the ships of that'Navy may be. There is'ne need for an American warship to be lying at anchor in the harbor of the foreign coulfiry where we happen to be. There is no need, even, for us to men- tion the American Navy when we are worried as to our safety in that for- eign land. The mere existence of that | Navy, far away though it may be, is/ the guarantec of the safety of Amer: ican citizens everywhere in the world. Perhaps this one thought will be sufficient to give to many of us a| new, more real appreciation of Navy Day, and will arouse in us real en-| thusiasm for the movement which | advocates a strong, efficient Navy for | the Uniled States. us to JUST COMMON SENSE.

Home is a place where a man's other pants are. Pinchot may also settle the liquor question, but alas! The consumer will pay more. A town may boast of its culture, but its chief source of pride is the traffic problem. Perhaps the easiest way to rise from humble surroundings is to kindle the fire with kerosene. As we understand the radical group, the new slogan 1is. to be: “Raise less wheat and more hell.” It is estimated that every normal child is equipped with enough spare parts to net a surgeon $125. The way to make sure that it is a drug store is to step outside and look at the sign again. There is too much effort to keep dust out of the bookcase and not enough effort to keep dirt out.

FLIES UPSIDE DOWN - IN DARING EXHIBIT Army Aviator Establishes New ‘ Aerial Mark Mitchel Iield, Oct. 27.—The peak of daredeviltry in aeronautics was ‘rcac‘hed yesterday by First Lieut, M. ..

On the property of 8t. Mary's church directly in the rear is a pole to which are attached elec- tric wires. These wires cross diagon- aNy the property of both landlords on Lafayette street. Both men also use the pole as an anchor for their clothes lines. Thus the clothes lines crossed cach property. _ One man climbed the pole and cut down the other man's lines. The oth- er man rose up in his wrath and when he got through some one in au- thority, which is thought to be a telephone pole, had placed a cross arm thereon and the end of the arm extending over the property line, car- ried the clothes line, presumably with | permission of the telephone company. But the property owner who had thus scored a point was not satisfied and it Is rumored now that he has or- dered all phone wires crossing his property and ‘connecting with the neighbor's building to be taken down. Telephone officials were reluctant to discuss the matter today, but it is learned that steps are being taken to reroute the wires. . A true story concerning an incident which happened on a branch train of the Philadelphia and Reading rail- ‘way some years ago, had a parallel in New Britain Thursday morning. The railway incident happened at the Dornsife station, on a country line in Pennsylvania. The railway runs one train each way every day on this line. When the train arrived at Dornsife, whieh is but midway between ter- minal points*on a line extending from Shamokin to Herndon, the hotel pro- prictor announced that he had just made some fresh cider and wanted everyone on the train to have a drink at his expense. Compelling the engin- cer and conductor to wait until the last of the line for their drinks, the passengers all sampled the cider and the train left Dornsife on hour late. Thursday morning a young woman {riding to the center of the city on a Chapman street jitney, calmly asked the driver to stop on Park strect and t while she delivered a package at a house along the way. .The driv- er was accommodating, the passengers were good natured, cveryone smiled, barely a minute was lost. and «the jyoung woman, after delivering her package proceeded on her way. No one was inconvenienced and all agreed |that this is the age of service. .. 0o The origin of man has been the |subject for much discussion from time {immemorial and the question hasn't |¥et boen settled to the satisfaction of | {all human hgings yet. There is the |theory of evolution, of creation and of other things, among the beliefs being "lhat man has descended from - a | monkey. | Tt is an interesting study to delve into the pdst and discover the be- liefs of the first Inhabitants of this ,country and of their several forms of worship. The Indian beliet in the manner or man's coming into being is strange. The Redsking went farther |than the scientists of this day and {searched for reason for the various| {colors of man, and the following is | the explanation of his creation as {taught by the Indian medicine men: | In the beginning, the Great Spirit |Who was the creator of aM things, took some clay and fashioned three |figures in the form of man. Working with care and selection, he spoke the | |magic words over them that would give them life, and then to complete | the process, Ite placed the thres| figures in an oven to harden and | bake, Like a honsewife with her first| cooking lesson he was not aware of the length of time it would take the forms | |16 cook. After a brief period he took | out the first one and found that it | was underdone, though baked enough | to support itself. He left it out and so 'nm white man was originated. Returning later, he took out another | which had been closer to the fire. !This, he found, had been overdone, but as it could not be helped, he Jet lit also remain and thus originated the hlack man, Thea turning to the third even, he took out the ihind figure and found that it had been done Just right, nlee and brown, Aol tee much er net cnough and thus the perfect man was found, the indian o Announcement that the Bt lLeuls clal” edition—brings to the fore the vapid development of the newspaper fvom the four page publication of sey- eral years age 1o the medera mulli- page preduction of today, It alse serves o emphasize the impertant strides made In the mechanical side of the vention of the type-seiting machine and the modern press it would be im- possible to publish the editions which come g off the big printing ma- ehines. ‘The publication of the newspaper— eliminating the important factor of distribution~—is in the hands of three departments, the staff which gathers the news and advertisements and Wwrites the copy, the composing foree which sets the news In type and the press room where are located the stereotyping machinery and the preas. The day of the editer-reporter who wrote his copy in pencil and also set it in type is gone, Today the news- gathering and editorial department work along lines which make for greater speed and which make it possible to cover a broader ficld, Bo complex has civilization become that the reportors must react subcon- sciously to the news value of an inel-| dent, whip It into English on type- writers and put it on the city editor's deak, where it sometimes undergoed a metamorphosis which astonishes the man who wrote it. It then goes to the type sotting department, Prac- tically the same process takes place in handling Assoclated Pross news, which s recelved over a telegraph wire by an A. P, operator and handed to the telegraph editor. The “Her- ald” has within the past week in- stalled two Morkrum's “Teletype"” machines which receive news auto- matically from the New York office of the Assoclated Press and type it without any hand to guide the mech- anism., The machine resembies a typewriter, but 1s operated entirely from the New York end. It produces copy at the rate of 52 words a min- ute, complete in every detall and ready for the type setting department. When the copy reaches the com- posing rogm, it is distributed among the operators of the type setting ma- chines. There it s swiftly trans- formed into type and placed in an iron frame, or chase, until a page is ready for the press room. The page is then cast into a lead semi-cylinder by the stereotype crew and placed on tho press. When the required num- ber of plates, each plate reproducing a page, have been fastened on the press, the power is turned on and the papers are ready for distribution. The “Herald"” press has a capacity of 24,- 000 copies an hour. The layman can gain an idea of what modern newspaper publishing means when he is told that practically all the type which is used in printing the *“Herald,” including advertise- ments, is set on the day the paper published. Readers of the ““Observer’ column are invited to come to the of-| fice any week-day to watch the paper “in the making” and to see at first hand the machinery and other equip- ment whoch makes it possible. » .
