What dlil wo toll you? Firecrackers
and fireworks am doomed (or
Christmas celebrations In more and
more communities. 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! Any man who has the
honor of being called "grandpappy"
deserves something better than a corn
cob pipe.
Meet the spryest, youngest and peppiest
grandpappy in the U. S. A. And
congratulations old timer.
One of the northern gals who blew
into a Camden restaurant the Other
evening had the Uarndest color of hair
1 ever cast ray lamps on. Yes sir-e-e-e
I was so plumb curious like, I had
the nerve to ask her what color It
was and she said, "pearl blonde." Now
what the dickens fellows?the next
thing the gals will wear will be Are
engine red.
i note in a news item that a great
psychiatrist says drekd of the figure

me, it proves you're crazy if you have
the bones.
Isn't it too bad the British government
had to replace wounded Ambassadore
Sir Hugh Montgomery Knatchhull
Huggessen in China. IT~the Japs

The United States sends missionaries

But that's nothing. Ood made the

Have you ever listened to one of
those hot bands over the radio? I'm
blessed if I don't get to wondering If
some of the players haven't turned to
the wrong piece of music.

One of the sport writers up in New
York says that Joe Iamis has never
seen his next opponeut, Nathan Manu.
All I got to say is that if Nathan lasts
as long with Joe as Tommy Fai r did,
| Joe will have a lot of time to get
acquainted.
We sure gavo a sigh of relief when
the sawbones told us that Diok Floyd
would be able to get back into the
game a week from Sunday. Dick injured
oue of his legs in a collision
with Carl Lightfoot lust Sunday and
had to go to Columbia to have the
limb examined by a specialist.
?
Examination disclosed a bad sprain
but with the limb In a cast tor seven
or eight days Dick was told he ct?uld
get out and play Sunday week.
i In the game Suuday Town will have
. Clyde (Cowboy) Brumble of Texas
and Virginia, playing the No. 4 position
while Watson Pomeroy will take
care of Dick's old post at No. 3. Cowboy
Is a natural back and Dick says
the fans will see some pretty work
1 when he goes iuto action.
* * * *
| Rut whisper It! If Town is to win,
Cowboy will have to do some good
J work because Dick is the scoring ace
of that Town line and is going to be
missed. We're venturing the dope
tho that you're going to see Watson
do some scoring next Sunday.
From polo to basketball is taking
a jump from the outdoors into the
house. 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. It
costs money to bring real teams here,
so help to k^ep. the Camden lads out
of the red. \'

Washington, 1). C., Jan. 14.?.Ludlow
War Referendum Resolution: On Monday.
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."
