The Jollys Talk Over Their Trip.

"JVTY ! This is cosy," exclaimed Mr. Jolly as he entered the livinrt room, r.nd saw the cheerful. blaze which Clarence had kindled in consideration of the first frost of the season. "No place like home after all, eh?" he continued, beaming genially at his little family over one shoulder as he spread out-4iis hands to the grateful warmth of the fire. "Everybody ou?ht to get away occasionally in order to appreciate home properly."

.Tolly had been at home after'f

The

their memorable trip to Mount Vernon for a wprfi, and all the neighbors had r.ilb-d to hear the news except one or two who pointedly ignored the fact that they had been away. Mrs. Jolly had bwn usked to give her impressions of the Capital City at the next rntetinj of the Culture Club, which nide her a trifle nervous. She didn't want to sound like a guide book; but. on the other hand, she was determined not to be classed with another resident who had enjoyed a continental tour. This elegant lady had hut one answer to every question, whether about Paris or the Pyramids or the South Sea Islands: "Oh, It was Just perfectly lovely!" Mary pushed her father down into the big Sleepy Hollow chair an squeezed in beBido him. "I am gHd to get bark long enough to sort out my impressions and classify them; but then I want to go agn.ln. 'Spring would be but gloomy weather were there nothing else but spring;" "she quoted with a side-long glance at Clarence, who loathed quotations. Mrs. Jolly's Inspiration.

Mrs. Jolly looked up quickly from the sweater she was mending. She had a flash of inspiration, as to the

beBt way to sort out her "impressions for the benefit of the Culture Club.

"That is exactly what I want to do

tonight iiiHteud of having the hlstor;

lesson," she saUl villi enthusiasm.

"Lets all sort out our linpi c.Monu ad

I am such a Mason, and G( !'. il Washington was the nwat revered Freemason of hi.T day. When he died, lo-l.-.cs in Carrda, and even England, were draped with mourning

lor him. You pee ho was the: first master of ths Alexandria Lodge, a vestry-rnan In old I'ohlck church, surveyed the streets, had stock in the first bank, and founded its first free schools, not to mention the first fire department. He had his office there, too. Why Alexandria was his home town." Masons Laid Cornerstone. "That Alexandria Lodgo 22 was with liim when he laid the cornerstone of the Capitol," broke in Clarence upexpectedly. "The old custodian of the lodge room told me so. Ho put the stone in the South east corner instead of the Northeast as they do now. I saw the apron and sash that he wore on that occasion, and the silver trowel with the Ivory handle. lie said

the gavel which he used -rhnt day was

made of a piece of the marble used in constructing the bulldhl?. Georgetown Lodge No. 9 has that."

"Good for you, Son-I" applauded his

lather warmly. "I wish I had known

you were iritererted. We could have

enjoyed It together."

Clarence colored with pleasure, hut

Mary, unable lo bear his holding the

center of Ire stage, burst in with this:

looking up at her frankly, after a moment. "Mount Vernon made me feel that Jeneial Washington was a real person a boy who had been 'raised right,' an we say. I had always felt before that he was an Impossible, story honlc person, but I declare, I could see him walking about that stalely old house. Now I'm crazy to read everything about him Just like lam about our homo town senator and other folks wo know." "Kxactlyl Exactly!" boomed Mr. Jolly. "Just an I said: 'Every American should go to Washington at least nee and take his family." Mary promptly clapped her hand over his mouth and checked off the refrain. "That record Is worn out. Dad. It wobbles. How about the exnrnpln set by Washlngtonians of not beginning work until what you call the middle of the day?", she asked slyly.

I think we would all live longer

"That was all Lucile wanted to

The impetuous child rey.onded instantly to her mother's uaerstanding tone. She blushed, but iier eyes were bright and steady as she wriggled

from her feather's arm to the edge of the chair. "The thing I can't forget is that llttlo tower window where Mrs. Washington sat and looked at her husband's tomb until she Joined him there three years later.

petuous hug:

Right. Mary! You've gone to the

heart of the matter, woman like. A j man may be powerful and still be hated and feared; but a great man commands a great love. It is in the ordinary domestic relations that the

dross in a man shows up sometimes. The least of us can emulate the "Fa

home."

'And that's just what you are

pecked his cheek lightly by way of a kiss as she spoke, and had jumped up

as If the house were on fire. "I want

to get up early tomonow, and Mother wants to v.-rlto her impromptu speech for the great and only, and illustrious "Culture Club." "Aw Shucks!" Clarence resented the speech because It teased his mother "You better wish you could make a speech." "I can." called Mary as she sped up the stairs. "Any time, any where, en any subject. Just lead me to it! Goodnight all!" o

ilT "WAS after the conversation that resulted

In the editorial of this week: "The Incubator Child." that the writer chanced to discover the following editorial in the Dearborn, Independent, issue of August 16. It is along

practically the same line, and the facts that it presents are startling! It is particularly necessary that our women should study it, and the question it presents, with the utmost care. We are unalterably opposed to child labor as such. No greater crime blots civilization than the exploitation of the bodies of helpless children; but In getting rid of one evil, we do not wish to embrace a greater. There are child labor bills and child labor bills; but, according to the facts presented by the Independent, the present bill providing for the regulation by the Government of the labor of all children up to the age of eighteen years, Is a wolf In sheep's clothing. We append the editorial in full: American Women, Attention! In the Senate Chamber of the United States, on May 31. 1924. Senator King, speaking about the proposed so-called "Child Labor Amendment" to the Constitution, said; "Every Bolshevik, every extreme Communist, and Socialist in the United States is back of this measure. The Bolsheviks of Russia were familiar with the scheme that was about to be launched to amend our Constitution. In conversation with one of the leading Bolsheviks in the city of Moscow, one of ths educators, when I was there last September and October, I was remonstrating with him about the scheme of the Bolsheviks to have the state take charge of the children. 'Why,' said he, 'you are coming to that,' and' he called my attention to the statutes in many, of the States in regard to compulsory education. Then he said, 'A number of Socialists in the United States (and he mentioned a number of names, but I shall not mention them here) are back of the movement to amend your Constitution of the Unietd States, and it will be amended, and you will transfer to the Federal Government the power which the Bolshevik government is asserting now over the young people of the state." "Of course, this is a Communistic Bolshevistic scheme, and a lot of good people, misled, are accepting

It, not knowing the evil consequences which will result and the cinister purposes back of the measure." About the only way to mislead an American is to appeal to his humanitarianiem. It Is the surest way to mislead the American woman. But It is time for some one to arise in this land and speak a word for the Constitution of the Unitd States, which has become the playground of all the faddists, and worse, in the country. When we amend the Constitution so much that half the people shall revolt against the amendments, we have created precisely the condition which the enemies of this country desire. The Constitution should be amended only for the enlargement of liberty, not for the centralization of power in the hands of a body of Socialistic and Communistic women living at tho Capitol at Washington. It Is stated in the Congressional Record of May 81. 1834, that the person who drafted the Constitutional Amendment now proposed to the people of the United States is Mrs. Florence Keliey formerly Wlschnewetsky), a professional Socialist; translator of Marx; editor of the Arehiv fur Sozialegesetzgebung, at Berlin; president of the Intercollegiate Socialist League in the United States. The women of the United States don't know these facts about Florence Kelley Wischenewetsky, yet they are being practically led by Florence Kelley In making another dent to the Constitution of the United States. -Why is it? Because the women of the United States are homemaking, while with Infinite ramifications from Germany and Russia, and with plenty of funds with which to operate, a group of hard, experienced revolutionaries. at the Capitol of the United States is using the humanitarian instinct: of American women to work ulterior ends. No wonder it is reported that President Coolidge would not come out against big campaign funds. He is reported as saying: "There are enemy agencies here in AVaEhington who spend every six months more than all the parties spend in four years. If campaign funds are political educational funds, we certainly need the education." At any rate, Americans are not going to have thelr Constition amended from Moscow, if they know it.

house complains of the bills sent in when daughter goes off to college this fall, the wise mother will inveigle him into reading the following list of what was considered a necessary outfit for a schoolgirl of 1737. At that time, when George Washington ' was only five years old. Sir John Lewis of Virginia sent to England for the following articles in order to dress his niece properly for her schooling: One cap ruffle and tucker the lace 5 shillings per yard (about one dollar and twenty cents in American money.) One pair white stays; eight pairs of white kid gloves; two pairs of colored gloves; two pairs worsted hose; three

pairs thread hose: one pair silk shoes,

lacea; one pair Morocco shoes; one hoop coat; one hat; four pairs of plain silk shoes; two pairs of calf shoes; one mask: one fan; one necklace one girdle and buckle; one piece fashionable caliro; four yards of ribbon for knots; one and one half yards of cambric; and a mantus and coat of lutestring. Corsets For a 5-year Old. If the above does not convince him that the world is really growing better, try the following-outfit of a few years later which George Washington ordered from England for his stepdaughter,Miss Custis, who was only four years old at the time: Pack thread stays (Fancy a modern four-year-old in a corset!) several stiff coats of silk; masks; eaps; bonnets; bibs; ruffles; necklaces: fans; silk and Calamanco shoes; leather pumps; 8

pairs of kid mitts; and four pairs of gloves. If this was Nelly's wardrobe at the age of four, what must It have been a few years later. Roily Madison Wore Masks.

As for vanity, we contend that the vanity of today is at least wholesome in its expression. We read of little Dolly Payne, who afterward queened it as Dolly Madison at the White House, going to school wearing a white linen mask to keep every trace of the sun from her complexion. Her mother carefully sewed her sunbonnet to her head every morning so that she could not possibly remove it, and her hands and arms were covered with long gloves.

The marvel is how the human race ever survived the way the women were laced, loaded with heavy skirts and kept from healthful games and recreation. o

IT has been sid that The Pilgrim's Progress has beenread by more people, young; and old, than any other book; in the world, with the singlei exception of the Bible- Thei

reason for this is that every-i

one who is striving to lead a! right life sees his own picture in the story. i

The difficulties which the Pibrrimi

has to overcome are precisely the' sort of difficulties which evervone'

meets. The Pilgrim's name is Chris-i

Rhymester's Roost, October 5, X924.

Tou told me once, old Friend, that God's best gifts " Were saved for those who trod not beaten ways; The Galilean shepherds, watching late, Saw angel visions in the King-star's rays. The air-man. flying through th' uncharted blue. Knows ecstasy the earth-bound cannot share: TJnoonquered mountain heights a challenge flings To men, adventurous, who do and dare. Tour word is ever wise and true, my Friend; But some, by circumstances shackled long, Refuse the bonds, and leaping wild as birds, Find freedom in an early morning song. They watch with eager eye the dawn's approach; The pomp and glory of the queenly day; They see the earth emerge from silver mist As though she flung aside a robe of play. t They feel the cosmic sweep and surge of thoughts All formless they can neilher shape, nor voice; But in the early morning hours, they live, and living, hope; and hoping, must rejoice. How do I know? It was but yesterday I saw a woman stand with lifted face Outside a cabin door; the mountains held The lonely house as in a close embrace. A few coarse garments flapped upon a line; A wash-pot near was eloquent of toll; Of sodden grind, and dreariness; the drab, Limp days that form grim labor's spoil. Her dress was old and faded, and her hair Drawn tightly back as though she tried to check j Its rippling wave; but truant curls, escaped, i Hung: fluttering against her slender neck. I She did not see the train, slow-moving there Upon the trestle high above her head: Unconscious of all prying eyes she stood And watched the pageantry of gold and red That was the dawn. Her hungry soul was kin To all the mystic splendors pictured there, Reflected In her thirsting eyes, and then Tho eyelids gently drooped as If in prayer. A' moment thus, and, swift her eyes flashed wide, Her gazo, enraptured, sought the glowing sky; Her lips were parted suddenly she sang - As sings the morning bird the train passed by The vision lingers still, as perfumed air Holds long the spirit of the flower that's gone; How little reck we of the ways, old Friend. Ood finds to comfort those life weighs upon I . It is a thing for comfort and for cheer; For faith to grasp the good beyond our sight. It is a story old to you, 1 know; -; It has sustained you long, dear Friend. Goodnight! E

people he meets with, "Mr. Ready-to-i Halt," "Mr. Worldly Wiseman." "Mr.!

Facing-Both-WTays," and the rest, arei

people that we all frequently meet! with In real life. There are about a!

hundred of these characters, and the! story is told as if it 'were a dream. John Bunyan. the author, lived; about 270 years ago. His home was ini Elstow, a little village not very far1 from London. In early life he was a; poor tinker. He afterwards became ai preacher. For his preaching he was twice put in prison, for at that time! it was against the law for persons who; did not belong to what was called the "established church" to be preachers. Only regular ministers were allowed'; to preach. It was while he was ln prison that he wrote The Pilgrim'si Progress. Bunyan lived a pure and noble life) himself, and wished to preach that hei

might help others to live righteously.;

He was very brave, and was not afraid to suffer. Once when in Jail he was offered his freedom if he wouldr stop preaching. He replied: "If yeu will let mo out today I will preach again tomorrow. '; o

I ; Mrs. Clement L. Shaver, wife of

the chairman of the Democratic nai itional committee, proves in her recent

.letter to the press, that there is not I ,a single drop of pacifist blood in her i veins. She declares her attitude in .supporting Defense Day is purely patriotlc, and states that the National I IDefense Day program has the in- ; dorsement of every patriotic organ -j ization, especially among the women's : lorganizations. and that the best way j to prepare for peace is to show the j world that we are ready in any emer1 gency. She states: "Only pacifists i could feel the slightest objection ito observation of a national Defense ; :Day but. fortunately, there are a i 'very few native born, real pacifists

;m the Tjnited States, and these must be ashamed of the name." Let not

;that hydra-headed monster raise its head among us red-blooded, fighting Americans, born and bred descendants of Colonial and Revolutionary pioneer ancestors. There is no pacifism In our ;Patriotic hearts." ' Read that paragraph over again. IDon't you get the echo In your own 'heart?

: Isn't it J funny how a little thing like rain can interfere with such Important things as fights and fun? Months of preparation for hattle, and months ' of '. practice" for polo, all Iknocked off on accotmt of rain.' The jattack upon Shanghai, away out in far China, and the international polo match on Long Islnd, postponed because it rained too hard. Down in the Georgia Legislature the main argument against the Child Labor Amendment was. that it interfered with Statrs' Rights! But jdoes it? The biggest asset any State has Is the child, and child psychology.

Findings of Indiana Educational Authorities. The ethical tests applied in Indiana to determine the morals of the public school children resulted in showing that sixty-five per cent of them were dishonest when money was entrusted to them. The Boy Scouts showed up eighty per rent honest, and the same tests applied to Sunday School children showed that ninety per cent came clean, according to Bishop McDowell of Ensley, Alabama. This is the answer to those who con tend that the Bible and religion should not be taught in the schools.

Of course, common honesty Is supposed to be taught children at home, but all children have not the proper home environment there is where the school comes in. It goes to prove another thing, children are fundamentally honest, most of them. Education comes from, two Latin words meaning to lead out, not in, wherefore education consists in leading out of a child, and showing him how to develop what is already inside, not pouring Information into him as into a bucket. The fact that the children respond so quickly to training along the lines of honesty shows the way for those who aspire to be educators in the true sense of the word. More and more we come to

realize that the trinity, "head, hand and heart" must not be separated in real education.

The Fight on Illiteracy. The evil of illieracy cannot be conquered through spasmodic efforts. Tha fight must be kept up continuously and aggressively if it is to be won. One of the most gratifying features of the illiteracy Campaign in Alabama is the success attending the Adult Illiteracy schools In the various counties each summer. These schools, conducted but for a few weeks, alrsdy have' accomplished surprising rerults. If they could be maintained for several months each year, adult illiteracy would be overcome in a few years. The real fight against illiteracy must be made, however, among the children of school age who do not attend the schools. The illiterate child becomes the illiterate adult, and to prevent the latter we must check illiteracy among the children. The child out of school Is the real problem. Anniston Star, Ala.
