President Coolidge will ask lower
railroad freight rates and suggest
that the roads can make up the dif
ference by practicing economy.
That is not the railroad idea, how
ever. President Coolidge will find
that railroad management and rail
road wishes are a department of our
Government, although not listed as
such in the constitution.
Weekly High School
Chapel Program

(Contributed)
If any ope wishes a service render
ed please call on the students of the
Clinton high school, for this idea was
forceably impressed upon them last
Thursday when the ninth grade gen
eral conducted chapel exercises. The
subject was “A Search for Happi
ness.” The 25th chapter of Matthew
was read by’ Miss Richardson, and af
ter prayer Ouida Cox came on the
stage as M Every Girl in Search of
Happiness.” The following came of
fering her their gifts:
Anne Bond—“Beauty.”
Mary Benjamin—“Wealth.”
Mary Grace Madden---“Pleasure.”
Frances Anderson—“Popularity.”
Corrie Cunningham—“Accomplish
ments.”
All of these were rejected by
“Every Girl” for not one of these
alone could bring happiness. Then
Gertrude Cole came offering “Ser
vice” and showing how true happi
ness is obtained only by serving oth
ers. To prove this, Madge Abrams
came representing the foreign lands,
and Kate Robinson, the home lands,
each showing what service to others
had meant to them. •
“Every Girl* was convinced that
happiness comes through serving
others; so they all assembled under
the Banner of Service and sang, “In
the Service of the King.”
As a conclusion, the whole school
joined in singing “Work for the Night
is Coming.”
CARD OF THANKS
Through The Chronicle’s friendly
columns I wish to sincerely thank the
city fire department, the college fire
squad, and the many others who
fought, for the very hard and fearless
endeavor to save my mercantile build
ing on the night of December 4th, and
to assure them that the interest mani
fested is gratefully appreciated.
Geo. H. Ellis.
They tell us that “publicity” ca.i
make the people think—that any busi
ness will succeed that’s backed by
printer’s ink—and, so we read adver
tisements wherever we may go to
learn about the values that the people
ort to know.
It*seems to me the most cruel—in
this happy day an’ time, to waste our
precious energies in advertisin’
CRIME. We print disgustin’ details
under headlines, bold an’ black, which
help to boost the devil and his method
of attack!
Which leads to the conclusion that,
the meanness folks have did, would
leave us fellin’ better—if the papers
kep’ it hid! To advertise the evil
when old Satan strikes a blow, is to
stock our young Americans in what
they orn't to know.
I hope to see the day arrive—weJd
welcome it, I’m sure—when our pap
ers draw the line at stuff that’s hate
ful and impure. . . . There’s enough
of good a-bein’ done to occupy our
space—which the devil takes advant
age of to scandalise our race!

The voters, when less prosperous
times make thinking necessary, will
decide to have a government running
the railroads instead'bf railroads run-
- pmgrthft goyerinpent.^
This is not said unkindly, or by an
arataa ha»f
a few thousand shares of railroad
stocks, a few hundred thousands in
railroad bonds. But it is desirable for
railroad men to realize that it is not
going to be mid-summer for ever.
There is cold weather coming.
, Admirers of the late Theodore
Roosevelt will be interested in the
statement, made by the authority of
the family, that a newcomer from the
mysterious realms of the infinite is
expected in the Longworth family.
Mrs. Longworth was Miss Alice
Roosevelt.
Those who have read Galton’s
Heredity know that the greatness of
the father is handed down through the
daughter, not through the son. The
new little Roosevelt-Longworth may
prove to be the reincarnation of Theo
dore. It will be interesting to see how
his little teeth develop.
Monsieur Laur, eighty-four years
old, has invented the aero car, and
the French government will build a
sample “aero line.”
The car, 7 feet high, 7 feet wide and
40 feet long, is suspended below a
cable forty-two feet in the air, slung
from poles far apart. Each car car
ries 100 passengers and the speed is
fifty miles an hour.
- Most interestng of all, the car,
hanging below the steel cable, is driv
en along as a flying machine is driv
en* A powerful propeller, nine feet
in diameter, worked by electric cur
rent taken from the cable overhead,
pushes the car.
With power enough, and a big pro
peller, the car might as easily go 100
miles an hour as 50 miles. Then
“New York to Chicago above the rail
road, yi 9 hours, for $9.”
Dr. Mary Walker cared little about
fashion, but the latest news from
Paris would interest her.
The new “dress” is to be more like
trousers than dress, a> sort of slit
skirt. Politics, athletics and common
sense will finally do away with the
cumbersome skirt. That impediment
was all right tn the harem, where it
was born. It’s all wrong on the pub
lic street, collecting germs, preventing
free movement.
A lawsuit raising interesting ques
tions is coming. A young man nam-
ed Rhinelander, whose people for sev
eral generations have not worked for
a living and are, therefore, called
“aristocrats,” married a young woman
with negro blood. Her people have
aforays worked hard; therefore, she is
no aristocrat. The young man, an
noyed by publicity and by the Ku
Klux throwing stones through his
window, now sues for annulment of
his marriage, saying he was decayed
aa to his bride’s race. She tol^F%m
nothing about the negro blood. aQ
If the young woman in the case
fights, the question of her constitu
tional rights might be taken to the
United States Supreme Court. New
York State legalizes marriages be
tween Africans and whites. The
young woman in this case is nearly
white. A man in New York could not
get a divorce on the ground that his
, wife had deceived him about a British
or Celtic strain of blood. What will
the Supreme Court say about a few
drops of colored blood?
; Atoms of iron* so small that you
wouldn’t notice ten thousand of them
in the corner ol» your eye, make a
roaring noise as they rush to a mag
net held, near them.
Scientists of the General Electric
Company have perfected a device that
makes' the roaring audible. If that’s
pomible, may we not some day hear
▼cites of our distant relations on
neighboring planets? It isn’t impos
sible. Nothing is impossible that men
can imagine. •
