Aiken, with a total of twenty casualties has passed a law that will not only prohibit the shooting of flrecr&dkera and fireworks but also the sale of them withiu the city limits. Columbia has the ban on and was delighted with thu results featuring the last Christmas period. J9?~ 1 can remember back some years, when they started to put the ban on 1 in the uorth, only the celebrations were on July 4, iustead of Chrlatmad. The movement spread and spread and now there are laws in a majority of states that have put an Iron clad ban on the dangerous explosives. * Boy, I can recall Just how wrathy the kids were because of being deprived of the noise-makers and fireworks. But- they found that there wore other ways of celebrating and now no one thinks of explosives, ! There are municipal displays in parks and they are handled by experts. * ? Tsk! Tsk!

Rut let me say right now that you fans who have fallted to turn out for the high school games are missing some real basketball. I feel that I run say without fear of contradiction that the boys and girls teams playing right now are about the best the Camden high has offered in some years. { Listen fans, you turned out fine lor football. Why not get back of the basketfcers. Some of the lads on the cage s(|uad played on the grid team. Why desert them in basketball. Let's all turn out and give the teams a big hand when they play next Tuesday night. University high Is coming here and that means a fast snappy And in the same line of thought? that Kendall cage team, captained by Wee Wally Reeves, h$s been playing some real basketball. The boys are arranging to bring some good teams to Camden in the next several months and 'we hope the fans will turn out and make the venture a success.

Grand Turk, to China. This was the first New England ship to rem h the Far East. In its wake, whole fleets of ships sailed from Salem. Dubbed "Pepper Port." "Boston ships usually went | 'round the Horn' of South America I on their route to China, but many ' Salem's ships sailed eastwaid, Sariund AfHca to the Orient putI ting into numerous ports along I way, and exchanging cargoes in evI ery port. When they returned to ! Salem wharves, they unloaded cargoes of Chinese tea, chinaware. and embroidered silks. Indian cotton goods, spices from the Malay archipelago and pepper from Sun}atr?a From reshipping pepper to all the world, Salem became famous as the Pepper Port.' "In the days of its flourishing sea trade, Salem youngsters frequently became cabin boys at fourteen, captains at twenty, and at *Qrty T.f~ tired to palatial homes filled with oriental luxuries and curios, andoccasionally with Chinese brides. Once-fashionable Derby street on the waterfront and *re?~aha ? Chestnut street are lined with such homes. Some of their roofs have railed 'widow's walks' where wives strained eyes for homecoming sails. Inside, the mansions are almost museums, displaying exquisite Canton china, sandalwood chests, embroidered shawls, and painted fans. "The Essex institute of Salem contains oil portraits of the town's merchant princes, paintings of their ships and the Ward China library, one of the finest in the United States on China and the Chinese. The Peabody museum is a storehouse of mariners' treasures. Here Hawthorne Worked.

One house is pointed out as his birth! place, another as the original House of Seven Gables.' Quaint, smaliI paned wooden houses on the town s narrow backstreets he used as settings for his tales, peopling them with somberly-clad conscience-burdened Puritans. "To visualize what a Puritan community of 1630 looked like, one has only to visit the reconstructed Pioneers' village whfch covers three acres of Salem's Forest River park. There, primitive cabins and stocks have been accurately reproduced. "The Old Witch House, where a judge of the witch trials lived, recalls a blot on Salem's history: ? that strange scare that raged through New England in the Seventeenth century "After 1812, Salem's importance as a port waned, and her industry increased. Today, the city's 43,472 inhabitants do little shipping, but manufacture cotton goods, games, radio tubes, and shoes."

January 10. the house by a smull majority decided against any discus ilon of the Ludlow War Referendum Resolution Had the question of adoption of this resolution actually come up the vote against It would have doubtlessly been much larger. The Ludlow measure had been before the Judiciary committee for about IS months and had not been reported out. The author of the resolution then started a petition among the members, but the 218 necessary signatures were not obtained until the Japanese Pauuy sinking Incident. It Is Hlgnttlcant that thirty of the signers of the petition did not vote for consldetatlon of the resolution, when the ques tion came up. '1 here Is no question that this congress Is for peace. Us membership wants war with no na tion and is determined to stuy out of war. Naturally, though, there are many different theories here as to the course this nation should follow to keep out of war. Some members think we should build no more battleships, sumo contend that we should cut army appropriations, others say we should jiln some International association to guarantee peuce to the world. Many members think that preparedness is the road to war, many others think that preparedness is the road to peace. All agree that we learned valuable lessons in the last war and tl at European and Asiatic nations are concerned In their own welfare alone and are not Interested lu the United States at all, unless we can be inveighled Into pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for them. It Is the opinion of many well-informed and thoughtful people that the approval of the Ludlow Amendment would have led to war instead of peace. In the debate as |o whether or not this resolution would be J jonsldered by the house, it was point-1 ed out that a large number of organizations have been very active In spreading propaganda for the resolution. On the other hand, it was point ed out that in opposition to lite amendment would bo found, the President or the United States, the Secretary of State, former aercetariea of state, cabinet officers, tlovernor latndon, of Kansas, who was the nominee of the Republicans for the Presidency last election, tiio veterans organUu tions. Including the Veterans of foreign Wars and the American Legion. It is also significant that four of the five women iti the house voted again.-1 the resolution. Under the original resolution war could not be declared without a referendum, unless the enemy invaded our country, or our territories and uttacked our people. The Lynching Hill: Senate bual-1 nea has been lied up all week on ac- | count of consideration in that body ; of the Federal Anil-Lynching bill, pro-j posed by Senator Wagner, of New, York. Southern senators, aided by a few senators from the west and north, are conducting a lighting filibuster against the measure, not hesitating to j assort that no other business will be! considered by the senate until this , proposal is shelved. Thinking people do not hesitate to say that the hill j is aimed ;ut lite south Kvery member. from South Carolina in the house,! iast year voted against this measure,! when It was passed by that body. Both | South Carolina senators spoke this j week against the bill. The southern | senators gained a great champion of ! their cause, when Senator Borah took the floor on their side. He described the Anti-Lynching bill as one of the most sectional measures thut over came before congress. Senator Borah should know, for he hus been hero longer than anyone oIbg. Ho called to the attention of the country, that the south has risen admirably from the ashes to reconstruction days and has solved the racial problem in a better way than any other section of the country could. Ho uttacked the contention that the several states could not properly police and^preserve order in their own boundaries, us directly against the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. Senator Borah further called to the attention of the senate and the country that the City of Washington, which is governed entirely by Federal law, has more lawlessness than any other city of its size in the country. In view of Washington's lawlessness, he said, "there is no reason to believe that the Federal government can onforce the criminal laws better thun can the State government."
