Reporters, fond of striking names, call the strange gas “loony” gas. Scientists don’t know just what it is. The public is excited about the dread ful poison gas, and the prosecuting attorney is investigating. There are gases in existence that would enable half a dozen fliers to kill a hmidreT^6vis^?f !S ^edftf^^th the greatest ease.

By CASPER S. 'YOST. “Principles of Journalism." « 1 11,1 m In the production of the editorial page there is involved, as the primary task, the creation and maintenance of a personality that will speak with the voice of the newspaper, that will excess the consciousness and the conscience of the newspaper and that will reveal a character worthy of the respect and the confidence of the readers. The biiath of life must be breathed into it that it become a liviing soul. How is-it to be accomplished ? By no tricks of artifice or of legor demain; only by putting into it the best that is in its creators. The faculty of tlie artist who sees beauty where others see nothing at tractive; of'the musician, who discerns, harmonies not distinguished by duller senses; of the poet, who finds in the “primrose by the river’s hrim” 'divine*sevrets not revealed to those to whom it i« but a flower— all are emlo. ed with that superior quality of discernment and distine- tio; hn h m (he icporter is the news sense, and which is essential to the hi- ♦ ini-i"j .i.f iiiiy department of the profession of journalism. as any.

Mr. Rea, because he reaches the age of seventy, retires from the presi dency .of the Pennsylvania railroad to make room for a younger man. ,At seventy a man should be at his best, and Mr. Rea undoubtedly is at his best imentaNy, and therefore, at the most efficient period of his life. For men that live wisely and think as they live, the most efficient years of life should come between seventy and eighty. , YOUR THANKSGIVING STORE Copeland-Stone Company NUNN-BUSH SHOES $7.50 ' up ♦ WALK-OVER SHOES $7.00 UP OTHER GOOD * SHOES $3.50 ' UP Sinks Into a Depression Not Unlike the Puritan’s Conviction of Sin ♦ • By HARVEY O’HIGGINS, in “American Mind in Actiota." —• "T - --- ■ «, * Force the American to retire in comfortable idleness and he sinks in to a depression not unlike the Puritan’s conviction of sin.
