The morning papers the other day
carried dispatches telling how busy
Queen* Marie, of Roumania, was over
in Paris getting her fifty trunks
packed and buying a few extra gcegaws
to bring along on her visit to
America.
Now we haven't anything against j
the .Queen. In fact, we don't know
he/ at all. And it is news, we grant,
when a Queen js busy.
But that same morning, perhaps, if
the immigration quota' isn't full,
some other Roumanian women were
busy getting ready to come to America
lo stay.
They probably didn't have, any
trunks to puck. %They couldn't buy
any trinkets, even the cheapest ones,
because all their money was to be
spent on their tickets. And they
aren't queens, except possibly of .their
men's homes. So no newspaper space!
i? wasted on them.
_iiere in America, some millions of
women were busy seeing that DaiFU
eggs were fried just- right, that
, Mary's tears didn't drop od the dishes
she was wiping, and that Johnny
washed behind his ears before he
started to school. ,
Maybe some *?t these women
stopped working long enough to read
the papers, and to lament because
they wore wearing calico aprons instead
of ermine robes.
_ But unless we know less about our
community than we do about Roumania,
PP out of every 100 women
here wouldn't trade their trials, in-'
. eluding Johnny's troubles, Mary's
tears, ami Dad's complaints, for all
Roumania?if it meant being SeparJohnny
and Mary and Dad.

A Beautiful Birthday Party.
Marking the eldVenth mile stone in
her bright young life, Miss Kate
Shannon was a charming hostess on
Saturday afternoon to forty-three of
her friends who had been bidden to
come in and "make merry" with her.
The decorations suggested, or rather
fully portrayed the evening Hallowe'en.
A color scheme of black and
yellow prevailed throughout the
looms, bats and witches were everywhere,
and everything was "delightfully
spookey." Games suitable to
the occasion were enjoyed and these
were' led by Misses Louie Lan^
Mary Boykin* There was also a Charleston
contest, Miss Oliver Buddir
winning the first prize, Miss Ratherinc
Little, second; and Miss Charlotte
Brown, third. The young hostess^ -herself,
a beautiful dancey, was oi couVsc
not in the contest. And then the dining
room and all the attractions therein!
There, were three tables, one centered
with a beautiful star-shaped
cake, holding eleven bright-orange
tapers and a black cat at either end;
the other two had as center decorations
baskets of marigolds. The favors
were Hallowe'en hats and paek
ages of candy tied in orange ami
black. Ice cream and cake wert
served. It was in the dusky hour ol
evening when the guests reluctantly
said good-bye. wishing the hostess
many happy returns laden with amuch
joy and pleasure as this afternoon's
had been.

Dr,Trank Crane Says:
The Dune* Are Indomitable
Home time a go the writer visited
the wild aaml dune country of northern
Indiana,
ThU sandy waate atretched along
the southern shore of Lake Michigan
between Gary and Michigan City.
The tjiigh aandhilla are agea old.
Home are "wandering dune*." Moving
slowly 'through the years they
have worked eastward. In 'their
track new dunes are born. Others are
vexed and on their aidea sand cTierriea
and stunted pines struggle for existence.
Indiana have come and gone} pioneer
acouts have given place to adventuresome
settlers and they in turn
huve made way for the teeming city
bred; hut the dunes have remained.
,the age had a cradle and a culmination.
Here Octave Chanute made experiments
with gliders, giving hia information
to the Wright Brothers later
on. Arid here day and night great
roaring planes fly overhead carrying
the mails from Cleveland and Chicago.
The dunes have outlived the wilderness;
they continue untamed in the
heart of civilisation. J.
In their enduring ruggedneaa there
is a message of inspiration that helps
one who feels it to "hold on" in the
trials of life.
The face y>f the dunes is like the
face of the common people. It is
grim, determined, enduring.
It possesses neither the kingly
grandeur of the towering mountains
nor the abject serfdom of impotent
deserts. ,
Through the passing chiliads it
has remained, remained in spite of
wind and wave, remained one of the
enigmas of geological endurance.
Buffeted, driven about, torn asunder,
the particles yet remain, and remaining,
combine in lines that alter
day by day, that move, that retreat,
that advance; but lines that lie in
the shadows of evening, gray, gaunt,
beaten and deformed?but sublimely
everlasting...
In the face of the dunes there is
seen this example of endless endurance.
In its barten beauty there speaks
a message of grim courage and indomitable
lasting power.
. , Moving To The Country.
Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Garrison, Jr.,
have rented their* home on North
Broad street to Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Sluyfield and will on the first of
December move to their country home
about three mites east of Camden,
formerly known as the Blair place.
Mr. Carrison, besides being the efficient
cashier of the Bank of Camden,
is engaged in extensive farming interests,
and like many of his fellow
farmers, this year's yield of co>ton
was the greatest ever known. He is
moving to the country in- order to be
nearer his farming interests, but of
course will still retain his connection
with the bank in every way.
Federal Prisons Full. *
Washington, Oct. 1 P.?Federal penitentiaries,
already crowded to capacity,
were forced to receive more prisoners
in the fiscal year ending last
Iifne 110 than ever before, it was reported
today by the department of
L; justice.
The average daily population at the
Atlanta penitentiary increased from
2,1)13 in 1925 to 2,972 in 1926; at
1 -Leavenworth frofn 2,980 to 3,093 and
?4$*>IcNeil Island ffom 570 to 631.
I f. Officials expect some relief will be
- gained from the opening of the rei
formatory at Chillicothe, Ohio, and
through the operation of the ne\y pro>
batioft kystem, permitting trial judges
to place those convicted of crime on
i probation.
Now iofi Tell One! '
A preacher said to his congregaI
tion: "There is a certain man among
us who is going with another man's
, wife. Unless he puts five dollars in
the collection box his name will he
read from the pulpit." When the box
came in, there were nineteen fiye
I dollar hills in it and a two dollar bill
with a note attached, saying, "This
.p is all the cash I have, hut will send
the other three dollars Wednesday."

Nfr. Brisbane'# editorial* are pub*
liahed as expressions of opinions
of the world's > highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
Mr, Green, able, conservative and
respected bead of the American Fed*
eration of Labor, was invited to apeak
before the Young Men's Christian
Associations in Detroit, then told that
| his speech could not be delivered in
I that institution. Labor leaders were
asked to speak fronj various" Detroit
I pulpits, th*n tdld the churches did
I not want them. $rr,"
There may be good reasons f9r r
I these sudden changes. But Christ,
who drove the money changers from
the f6mple, might be surprised to see
his modern representatives driving
laboring men from the pulpits.
N?jt looks, according to the union
j men, as though money changers were
"on top" once more.
In a little while Queeiv Marie of
Rumania, with her prfetty daughter
will be dining at*Jhe Wljite House.
The Queen will be able to-tell het
husband that she met one American
that did not insist on talking about
himself. H. G." Wells says that is our
trouble, you know.
If the Queen will take a sheet of
paper as big as a playing card she
will be able to write on it all that
the president will have to say, beyond
politely answering direct questions.
But when the interview is over the'
president^wiH know a good deal about
Rumania. He believes in listening,
and that's one reason why he is president.
Professor Jerome Davis of Yale reports
an interesting talk with Stalin,
the real ruler in Russia. Stalin says
Russia is willing to pay the money
that foolish American bankers lent
to Kerensky. Stalin really should do
nothing of the kind. Those childish
bankers grabbing at usurious interest
rates and discounts, ougtft to digest
that lesson.
They are now lending billions of the
American people's money to variousconcerns
in Europe. Many of those
biRions \yill never come back.
However, that's another stor^-. The
important point made by Stalin is that
it might pay the United States to be
friendly with Russia. Stalin said,
"Russia now needs the United States.
Possibly the day might come when
the United States might need Russia's
friendship."
The
Pan-American health conference
declares war on the bubonic
plague flea,, from thp Arctic to the
Antarctic.
This means killing -rats, ground
Squirrels, flea bearing creatures of all
sorts. Samples of fleas captured will
be sent in for identification. ?
, Nftthing permanent, however, will
be done until man completes his conquest
of the globe by removing from
it, mercifully, all animal life, other
than his own.
The gaping crocodile from whose
gums and tongue the tse-^fe fly extracts
the "germs of sleeping sickness,,
must go, also dear little pussy, that
carries diphtheria germs in its fur to
the little girl's face.
The latest beauty cult, must come
here, ft says: "Work all the muscles
of your face, keep young, retain your
alert appearance. Pout your lips ta.
. make them handsome and full. RolL
your eyes frequently and sniff. Sniff
j violently, forming wrinkled ridges on
the bridge of the nose. Move your
eyebrows up and down. Only a dead
, face, with no muscular action in it, becomes
an old face."
That advice is taken'literally by Inhabitants
of the monkey cage. They
1 do all that the beauty cult suggests.
Our ancestors, ape-like, did the same
until language was invented. As men
| became civilized they used words ini
j stead of gestures and twitching face.}.
A man sneering still uncover* his
1 j canine tooth, getting it ready to bite.
?I without cutting his lip, as do the
> baboon and wolf. Rut the calm face
t is the higher type. Compare the
