BUT NOT CHILDREN 1
AN OLD BIBLE ! P
Paris rulers of fashion say to wo- f '
men a'l over the world:
"Wear your skirts above your!1*
knees and paint your ears red."
And the pathetic fact is that mil-!*'
ions of women will wear skirls so [ "
short a ? o be silly, and paint their ir
ears without loss of time. Also the *
eyelids are to he stained dark brown j f'
oj blue, the eyelashes curled, and the
inside of the nostrils stained bright
red u
| M
i The short skirt, in reason, is sen-'
wble, a step toward common sense, :
and away from microbes. Red ears. Id,
when natural, indicate good blood a
i ,n/lit i.wi Km .-? ? "?? f'
skirt* that would look foolish on a M
child, paint artificial health on their
ears. curl their lashes and color
their eyelids, that seems too much. '
However, hack of it all, there is ?ii- tr
vim- Wisdom, undoubtedly. Woman is 1
on her way to some grand de.-'tiny.
Let US observe and ad no re. hut not

What about an act thai would n
prevent exploiters of chiid labor turn *
jug young lives into dividends and t
grinding up children into profits? i t
isn't thai worse than grinding good t
salmon int<> fertilizer? t
The Supreme Court was not able t
to uphold the constitutionality of an j e
act to protect children, although cer* t
k, tain so-called radical justices on that |
bench did uphold it.
However our highest court does
fh.d a way to protect fish and game.
About a hundred years ago, in a
V * rmont log cabin, a young mother
read to her children old Bible stories,
fcbont the whale thai swallowed Jon*h.
Elijah and his chariot of fire,
am) the fig tree that withered under 1
Divine rebuke.
_ _ i i
That mother was poor and all her 1 '
iteople were poor, and ours was a
young and poor nation then.
The old Bible from that log cabin,!
carefull wrapped u*>. was taken to
the broad platform before the* Cap-1
>to). With his hand on that Bible Cal-,
in Coolidge swore to do his duty j
President of the United States.
He is the grandson of the New England
woman that owned the Bible,
iOO years ago.
This is the land of opportunity and
growth. What will it be in years to
<ome if the 112,000,000 now here
work as hard ar?/l hopefully as men
and women did in the days of Calvin
Coolidgc's grandmother?
She Got it Too
He (lifting glass)?"How about
a little toast,"
She?"Heavens, toast for dinner?
1 never heard of such a thing. 1
want a regular meal."
