CHRISTIAN a mother to kiss the infant in her arras AND I*4 was not so very long ago enough to mark her ACTOR? X as frivolous, worldly and un-Christian in the eyes of many devoted followers of the Nazarene—even hereabouts in Indiana. Singing and whistling were alike regarded as creations of the ‘'Old Feller”—Satan. That splendidly written story of early Indiana, “In My Youth,” is worth reading, aside from its rich entertainment, for the striking portrayal of days when religious opinion and practice was at an opposite extreme from where it is in the year 1923. The other day, two nationally known theatrical celebrities shoved news of the Ruhr and of politics into second position in the newspapers, one celebrity to explain the breaking of his engagement to a tempestuous screen favorite, and the other to confirm the story of his conversion to the Christian faith. Os the two, Fred Stone, eomedian, received and deserved the chief consideration, and his simple manly statement is being read with genuine respect and approval. But why should it be thought strange for an actor to be a Christian? Jesus never inveighed against the actors of his time. He attacked bankers and tax collectors and rich men, but be criticised them as individuals and not as members of a particular profession. There is nothing incongruous or antagonistic to Christianity in the profession of the stage or of the screen. The stage can be, as it has been sometimes in the past, a tremendous power for that kingdom which Jesus said “is within you.” And it is the actors like Fred Stone, who have made the world laueh and who have added no sorrow with it, who are never veryfar from “the kingdom.” whether they- are in the headlines or not. Fred Stone a Christian? Why, of course, and a mighty good one, too. To contend otherwise is to hark back to a time when a mother could not press her lips to the cheek of her cooing babe and remain in perfect standard as a Christian. GOV. -y -yOWEVER one mav regard the present g^n MTRAY’S j— l oration’s method of observing Memorial day, VETO J( a majority of citizens will undoubtedly com- : mend Governor McCray’s action in vetoing! the measure which had passed both Houses of the Legislature under pressure. As framed, the bill was admittedly aimed to stop only- one form of recreation on Memorial day. The legislation proposed did not have a wide appeal as a genuine and thorough going measure which would effectively restore that spirit of veneration for the Nation’s dead, which is too sadly lacking. The motor speedway races are not the only sport out of keeping with the patriotic spirit which prompted the setting aside of Memorial day as a national holiday. The bill did pot meet deeply imbedded conviction among Americans that every law to be respected must' be fair and apply to all alike. It was a piece of class legislation and those who have studied its provisions and heard the arguments of its proponents in its favor are not surprised at Governor McCray’s action. VETERAN y yGLY charges have been made in Congress, BUREAU and out of it, against the U. S. Veterans’ CHARGES V J Bureau, which disperses more than $450,000,000 a year, or two-thirds the entire cost of running the Government before the war, supposedly for the benefit of former soldiers. The charges preferred against Colonel Forbes, retiring head of the veterans burean, and his associates range from accusations of inefficiency and favoritism to more serious ones which involve the personal reputations of veterans’ bureau chiefs. Now the Senate has decided to delve into the maze of charges and replies. It promises a searching inquiry info the affairs of the veterans’ bureau in Washington and at other headquarters over the land. This Senate committee, which begins its work this week, owes it to the veterans’ bureau chiefs under fire to clear their names, if the. charges made against them are unfunded. Or, if the charges are true in part or whole, and the money paid by taxpayers to care for those who bore the brunt nf the war is going astray, then justice must be done to the exsoldiers. The great thing the Senate committee can do is investigate the veterans’ bureau and its affairs so thoroughly and report on it to completely and justly that the bureau can be taken forever out of politics.

BY C. C. LYON WASHINGTON, March What docs the highly paid railroad president do to earn his salary? "Mostly he gives newspaper inter' views, attends banquets and addresses Rotary clubs.” Senator Rronkhnrt of lowa charged before the Senate when he laid before that body a rnaso of figures on railroad pres! dents' eaiarles. "Taking the salaries of railroad presidents as a whole, we are struck by the great disproportion that exists between the salaries of these supreme executive officers and their subordinate officials, from general manager down, who see that the traffic gets over the line," said Brookhart. liOtvw Officials Sweat "If the president of a road gets 350,000, the general manager ls likely to get only SIO,OOO or $15,000, while the division superintendents, who htive to sweat blood when anything goes wrong, are lucky i? they get over $5,000. These operating officials of the roads are, as a matter of fact, among the lowest paid workers in the country when their experience, duties and responsibilities are taken Into account."

Thus runs the current prlco j trend on Chicago's love market.

This Offers You v/hat you’ll be glad to know

A new-type tooth paste, based or modern research, has brought rich benefits to millions. Dentists the world over now advise its use. You see one of its results in glistening teeth wherever you look today. This offers you a delightful test, to show what it means in your home. The foe of film Your teeth arc coated-with a viscous film. No ordinary tooth paste can effectively combat it. So it clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Most tooth troubles, most dingy teeth, are due to that clinging film. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look cloudy. It forms the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed millions in it.

So dental science sought for film combatants. Research discovered two. On* acts to curdle film, one to remov* it, and without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved those methods effective. Then a tooth paste was created, based on modern knowledge, and those two film combatants were embodied in it. That tooth paste is called Pepsodent.
