VIOLATING THE SABBATH
I'here hag been quite a discus=im
as to the ~permission =of Sunday
amusements throughout the coun
try, and while it probably look hard
"to have them shut off from the
populace, there is nodoubt, accoad
ing to the Divine Jaws, and accord
ing to statistical laws of the govern~
‘ment and society as we'l, that the
laxity allowed is bringing forth its
fiuit.
Recently, an actual count in
Washington, D. C., the capital of
our eountry, revealed the fact that
while 7,000 persons attended chureh
there were over 50,000 in the theat
tres and picture shows.
There should be some remedy
and it should come from the teach
ings at the wmothers knee and the
hearthstone. Weare not over-ree
ligeous but unless we live inaccord
ance with the lawsof God in the
observance of His day, as we live in
accordance with His other laws, we
are a doomed people and are sur
- 10 reap just what we sow.
~ Gpd says, “'Six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work, but the
geventh is the day of the Lord, thy
God.”
EYES ON HOLLYWOOD AGAIN
Disclosure of the fact that Wal.
lace Reid, one of the most popular
of the screen stars, has been at the
point of death as the culmination of
three years of indulgence in whiskey
and drugs is said to have donemore
than the mysterious murder of Wile
liam D. Taylor or even the ‘'Fatty
Arbuckle affair to center-the atten
tion of the public g the urgent need
of reform in the moving picture
colony at Hollywood.
Will Hays, the czar of the movie
world, is now in Califorvia and is
‘said to have been shocked by reye
lations that some of the most im
portant figures in the screen world—
men who pretended to be working
pholeheartedly with him in bring
ng about better conditions+were
eally as guilty as any of those- to
vard whom his activities were
irected, and he has prowmised an
“investigation which will be absolute
ly thorough. j
~ The United States government it
gelf has heen froused. The head of
the narcotic squad is about to leave
Washington for the Pacific coast
with the intention of probing the
A Bituation to the very bottom. He
18 quoted as saying that conditions
s California have given him more{
ble than any other part of the
OUllvry, partky for the reason tha‘d
Neal of such drugs as come
from the Orient naturally reach thix
country throvgh Pacitic ports.
When the Taylor tragedy drew
attention to the moving picture
colony .at Hollywond, there was a
greal deal of discussion as to the
way of life of the stars and the les
ger lighis of that gildéd community.
In reply to eritcisms, we were told
that the fayorites of the screen were,
on the average, as moral as the
game aumber of persons in any
other walk of life; that the” whole
trouble was, as some one said of
Robert Burng, "*\When he errs, Le
errs in the market p'ace.”’
There is of eourse, a grain of
truth in this, There are dope fiends}
all over the world and it is ouly!
‘when n mans Jike Wallace Reid
wrecks his health with drugs and
whiskey that the fact becomes of
front-page importance. i
And yet there ean be no more
doubt that the primrose path at
Hollywood is rather broad, and the
time seems to have arrived when
drastic steps should be taken to
wards making a clean-up.
We cannot doubt, in spite of such
exceptions as may have heen cited
for Mr, Hays’ enlightment, that
producers who have millions of
dollars at stake in the moving pic
ture industry are really anxious to
improve conditions. This is not
necessarily because they areany
more moral that the rest of the
world, but they realize that it means
a heavy financial loss when a man
like Reid goes to the bad, or a
“Fatty’’ Arbuckle gets mixed upin
a salacious affair. The patrons of
the moving picture (resent it, aid
the power of public opinion brings
to bear a censorship more powerful
than any exerciced by the law itself.
It is impossible not to feel a sense
of pity for the yovng actor who has
been caught in the toils of the drug
fiend, and earnestly to hope for his
recovery. But it is hoped with
equal sincerity that lays and the
government can put an end to this
kind of thing.

WORDS OF WISE MEN
Remember your fallures are but
your stepping stones to success,
Flction has a higher alm than fact—
it 1s the possible when compared with
the merely positive,
Anh able min shows the spirit by
gentle words and resolute actions. He
is neither hot nor timid, i
Under all the false and overloaded
and glittering masquerade there is in |
every man a noble nature, ’
The art of using moderate abllities
to advantage often acquires more rep
utation than real brilllancy.
The great end of the modern, civ
Ilized war is to reach a state of peace
In the soonest possible time.
Every experience that we live
through will lead on to a lower or a
higher experience, as we choose.
Do not weaken and distract yourself
looking forward to things you cannot \
see and could not understand If you
Baw,
You may salute a man and exchange,
compliments daily yet know nothing of
his character, his Inmost tastes and
feelings. : |
Love labor, if you do not want it
for food you may for physic. It Is
wholesome for the body and good for
the mind, .
It there is any one quality of the
mind in which the really great have
conspired, as it were, to surpass other
men, it 18 moral courage.
History is never hysterical, never
proceeds by catastrophes and cata
clysms, and it is only by remembering
this that we can comprehend its high
er meaning.
LIFE'S LITTLE PLEASURES
Persuading the landlord that your
rent ig sufficlently high,
Meeting two of the girls you Jjilted,
at your flancee's reception.
Wearlng the lavish neckwear a
maiden aunt gave you at Christmas,
Suggesting to the boss that a small
increase in salary would be acceptable.
Attending a lecture on eugenics and
discovering that you and the speaker
are the only males present.
Listening to a military genlus out
line the cause and effect of the next
world war,
Sitting beside the restless boy who
chews gum and asks questions at the
movie show.
Sharlnk a hymn book with the elder
ly lady who possesses a cracked so
prano voice.
Paying the gas and repair bills in
curred by your brother-in-law while he
was driving your car last summer.—
Life.
PICKUPS
A success is a man who has
gone a little way but 18 anxious
to go further.
Few men appreciate the jJoy
of hawng work to do until they
get out of a job.
The man who i 8 always look
ing for a little the best of it us
ually picks up much the worst
of it.
Making the most of what you
get is much better than depend
ing for happiness on what you
think you .are going to get.
ARKANSAS “MEWSINGS”
The difference between a man and
a jackass is often two feet.
There are all sorts of deadbeats, but
the debt of gratitude possibly develops
the most dodgers.
Romeo was a perfect lover, but
what couldn’t he have accomplished
with a twin-six limousine?
An opera singer says that no woman
i 8 worth loving until she is thirty.
Maybe not; but how is one to tell
when she is thirty?
A tired toller frequently thinks he
leads a dog's life although the average
dog gets plenty of rest.—Arkansas
Thomas Cat.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
A pipe dream soon reaches the bot
tom of the bowl :
Many a fellow who tries to do others
finds himself undone.
When a man has had too much drink
he feels himself the real thing.
The claque may demonstrate that a
round of applause isn’t always square.
Never judge people by their clothes.
Even a poorly dressed man may not
be & millionajre. = M

The young eagle is clothed in t:!ee
kinds of garments before it reackes
maturity. During the first year if Is
black, the second year slate-colored,
the third year brown and white, It
might be said that the bald-headed
eagle Is not bald. It is so called from
the white ruff of feathers about its
head. The three different appearances
of the young eagle one time provoked
a strange misunderstanding among
bird observers. It was thought that
they were three different specles—the
black, the George Washington and the
bald. The eagle is one of the Fal-.
