Newspapers today feature pictures
and behind many of them is a story
ot devotion to duty on the part of
man or men who took them. Fre
quently photogrpahers face danger
to get their pictures. Only last week
a Pathe cameraman was killed at
Daytona Beach when Racer Bible!
killed himself in a speed auto trav
eling over 200 miles an hour. The
cameraman was taking his picture
and stuck to his post of duty even
when the speeding automobile bore
clown on him.

Yesterday "Preacher” Smith, as
Rev. Horace S. Smith is known to
a host of friends, confessed from the
pulpit that he had "stopped preach
ing AGAINST so many things and
was now preaching IN FAVOR of
things."
Good Evening is not a preacher
but he believes that he has a fair
idea of religion and modern tenden
cies. He compliments "Preacher”
on that confession. There are too
many "antis" in this old world of
ours. Why not make a sermon a
positive one rather than an anti
one?
