A gentleman from the East brings
what he calls a glorious proposition-
one religion to fit everybody. No
more religious quarrels or prejudices.
anything, except too violent changes.
The same man can be healthy under
the Equator, with the thermometer at
120, or near the North Pole, at 40
below zero.
But you could not change from the
Equator to the North, Pole in five
minutes without risking life.
Young women should remember that
—but they won’t. In England thous-
a»ds of girls have dangewus colds and
influenza because they wear “Russian Cash on hand and in Banks December 1, 1926
boots” up to their knees for several
hours, then change suddenly to light
slippers for afternoon and evening
parties. Beware of. sudden changes.
It won’t happen. Each race wants
to select its own gods, with approved
characteristics.
Some individual said lightly,.“An
honest god is the noblest work of
man.” The highe/ the man, the nob
ler his type of god. A Congo savage
worships an idoi with a pink nose.
✓ The ancient Greek said that. if
camels had a god their god would have
four legs and a hump, which is true.
We are taught, that God made man
in his own image. There is no doubt
whatever that among pagan gods in
their own image, lending to him their
own hatreds, animosities, vengeance,
love of gold and silver, fondness for
the Wood of animals, etc.
There will be no “religion to suit
all men” until youT'Have a different
race of men.
High fashion decrees that ladies
from now on must get stockings' that
match their complexions.
There will be no trouble about that.
Modern fashion makes it easy for a
lady to change her complexion to
match her stockings if she can’t find
exactly the silk stocking she wants.
A girl with no rouge on her face
wins the health prize at Barnard Col
lege. Miss Elizabeth Metzger, twenty
years old, is five feet four and one-
half inches tall, weighs 120 pounds.
She wears high heels, but you can’t
expect everything. No rouge or lip
stick ever touches her skin. She gives
the pores of her face a chancq. to
breathe, and that means health.
America’s biggest city, New York,
does things on a big scale. So do doz
ens of other American^ pities, from
Seattle to Miami, and from San piego
to Portland, Maine.
Our European friends read with
amazement that a young. American,
Arthur S. Wi liams, bos . of the elec
tric light industry, sells in New York
city more electricity than is used by
twelve European countries with a
combined population of 109,000,000.
The twelve countries that use less
electricity thmi New York City alone
are: Greece, Denmark, Lata via, Jugo-
slaviar Poland, Hungary, Norway, Ru
mania, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden,
and The Netherlands. New York uses
5,000,000 kilowatt hours per year.
The Following Statement Covers Receipts and
Disbursements of the $235,000.00 Bond Issue
. for the Months September, October, and
November, 192S.
Illinois discovers that n bill passed,
quietly, makes it possible to set free
young Leopold and Loeb, or any other
criminal, that might have “the price.”
Virtue wonders how such a bill
could slip through the legis
lature. _
The non-virtuous wonders how much
a law o*f that kind would be worth in
the hands of “practical men.”
Many soldiers lie in graves with no
nam4 What .would you write above
such graves,? The War Department
has approved this inscription:
“Here rests in honored glory an
American soldier, known but to God.”
The French nation knew we Ameri
cans appreciate a good joke all right.
Didn’t they send us the Statue of
Liberty?
