THE AMERICAS PRESS ASSOCIATION I Published every Thursday, at Syra-' cuse, Indiana. $2.00 a Year Phones: Office, 4—Residence, 904 I 4 * I Entered as second-class matter on May 4th, 1908, at the poUoffice at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3rd, 1879. Thursday, .lune 9, 1921 What people think is the thing that counts in this world, for it determines w“hat i they do. The Public Service Monthly relates an interesting incident that I occurred recently. A druggist, ' who is something of a -wag and a keen judge of human ,nature, put a quart bottle of a formerly popular brand of whiskey in his ' store window, with a card Which read “Whiskey $1.00.” Scores of his customers came into the store to discuss the authenticity of this relic of the days that were. The druggist met them all with | a quizzical smile and the laconic ; remark, “Take it or leave it, I ' have nothing to say.” This is related as a true story, and it is stated as a fact that the bottle remained unsold at closing time. Today our attention fell upon a statement of Samuel M. Vauclain: “There is only one thingin the world I am afraid of,” he says, ‘-T- am afraid of the estab- i lishment of the debating society as a business institution. Too much advising results in the finding of various ways in which a thing can not be done.’ College athletic coaches strive to build up in the members of their teams a spirit oi confidence by planning carefully ways in Which important contests can be won. A team that lacks that (confidence will not get very far. ( The character of Syracuse is determined by what we think. <>ur streets, our schools, our churches, our homes, our lawns, our social activities, our dress, our conversation' are no better than we. think them to be.

WORLD’S OLDEST CLOWN "To play the fool and do that well,” says Al Miaco, the most famous as- well as the oldest of , clowns, as he leaned over his I crossed hands, "is the secret of ' youth. Laughter keeps you ■ young.” Al Miaco is 76. He has just ■ rejoined the show in Newark I after his first vacation since he started clowning in 1854. “I have been at the game a long time, 67 years now, and I’ve seen things change for the worse, day by day,” the veteran jester told. "In the old times the clown was the whole show; he declaimed, he was a master mimic, he had to know the art i of contortion and of pantomime; he had to bring the tear to the ' eye at the moment w’hen there I was most laughter. | “Now—well, miss, perhaps, ; you yourself have noticed that j the clown only howls, makes , faces, turn flip-flops and is the butt of practical jokes. ' “In the old days the sawdust ring held just a handful of performers; how there are three to five rings going at once, and when you have lost the intimate touch you have lost many things,

and not the least of these, the means of the clown.” Al Miaco, otherwise Al Frisbie, was 9 years of age when he joined the Yankee Robinson’s circus. His wife, Laura, was a trapeze performer, and they fell •in love while the circus was traveling in boats on the Mississippi. They had two sons, but they are gone. "My advice to young people?” < said the veteran. “Well, it’s this: ; ‘Don’t be afraid to play the fool { from time to time, only, mark you, do it wisely!

Out of 5,154 questionnaires sent to the editors of the country, 4,666, or 86 percent, gave it as their judgment that the people of their communities were overwhelmingly against city, state or national government competing in business with citizens.

This was the reply made,

' i > recently, by Chicago reformers ’ to the assertion of Frederich Rex, statistician, that short I skirts had reduced the number of accidents to women. Men are so interested in watching women wearing short skirts that they fail to. keep an eye out for their own safety, the . reformers contended. Figures showing that there were more accidents to men in the last,year than the average, indicated that'

1 their contention was correct, ' they said. i In 1916, when skirts were long, I 467 women were injured alighti ing from street cars, but in 1920 only 302 were hurt. In boarding street cars, 432 were injured in 1916, compared with 203 irv :1920. I An increase in the total number of men injured was reported in 1920. Reformers said the increase was due partly to short j skirts worn by women.
