The person who has the cause of democ racy at heart will not stand in the way of the will of the people even though he is convinced that the people are .making a mistake. Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the federal reserve board, gave congress some advice which is one of the best examples of democracy at work that we have read about recently. After telling a congressional committee that in his opinion it would be disastrous to curtail government spending to the ex tent that the budget could be balanced, he said that congress should follow its con victions in the matter. He intimated stnongly that the majority of the people favor balancing the budget, and although he does not concur in the view he said that the majority decision should be put into effect at once. That is how democracy should work. The will of the people should not be over ruled by any man or minority, even if such an individual or minority is convinced and is reasonably sure that following the course of the majority would have bad ef fects. The same principle is involved in that memorable quotation about defending the right of an opponent to express his views. In a true democracy the majority of the people may make bad mi.stakes, but they are apt to correct them when election time comes and they again go to the bal lot box to express their will in gpveni- ment. It Can’t Be Done If any boy 'Or young man has any thoughts of becoming a succe.ss as a des perado he has plenty of examples of fail ure and none of success to follow. The career of a bad man in thus age is short and almost invariably ends abrupt- ly. The person who thinks he can flagrant ly flout law and order and run over socie ty had better think twice before starting out on such a career. The latest career of that nature to come to an inevitable end was that of Earl Du rand, Wyoming mountaineer w'ho went on a rampage of crime and killed several be fore his life was ended by bullets. There are plenty of other examples, among them being John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Payne and Turner here in our own state. They all met sudden death, and so will all others who think they can get away with murder, burglary, kidnaping and other fiendish crimes. Among the criminals who have been shot or e.xecuted were some just as smart as those who will later follow in their footsteps Good people still outnumber the bad, and if there should ever come a time when the bad are in the majority the balance of power will, still be for the right. It is the supreme law of the universe, and punish ment for infractions are just as certain as the sunrise in the morning. DEATI^AT PLAY;^ r ; (Hsrtfori County Herald) ^ With M»»h h«re ani Spring-time now roimding corwr, it is’out-door pl^^i time for the youhtsters. But at the same time that’ March^^winds and wa^ sun shine bring ioy to the hearts (tf kids with their opportunity ifor^ kite-fiying* marbles, baseball, and air outdoor activity,' they bring increased responsibility and 'anxie-4|rj|g^4^-5i;imDl ProfaMor TeHs ct ImporilwMie el vy to the parents, who must guard their safety. A ■ paid advertisement carried re cently in,the,newspapers by,a light and power company serving a nearby terr^^‘ emphasized this necessity for increased vigilance for safety when, it warned par;* ents and children against enjoying the sport of kite-tflying top near the power wires. It is great sport and innocent, fun to fly kites in the March wind, but this pleasant sport may become deadly for the youth who is careless of the danger of the high-powered electric lines in which kites and kite strings may become entangled. Modem living, with all its new com forts and the progress of science‘for safe guarding the health of the young, never- less has circumscribed the opportunities of youth for play and greatly inci*eased the dangers to which children are sub jected in their care-free play,' Mothers need no longer stand in moi*tal dread for the safety of their children against the scourges of contagious diseases that not so many years ago carried away children in epidemics, yet today there is constant anx iety for the safety of their children from the multiplicity of accident hazards that our n>odera age has created. Death may strike lat any moment in the streets or along the highways. One second, playing happily on the sidewalk, the next a brok en bundle under the wheels of a passing automobile; this morning skating lively to school, at noon brought home in an am bulance; enjoying a holiday at kite-flying in the fields toda.y, the holiday ending in tragedy when kite string touches an elec tric wire Such are complications and hazards brought about for youth and parents by m;odem life. Such it is too that increases the obligations of communities for pro viding playgrounds ahd other opportuni ties for recreation where Children may play and develop with as little exposure as po.ssible to these new dangers.

We know very little indeed about the personal appearance of Paul. John of Antioch, writing in the sixth century, de scribes him a.s “round-shouldered”, and as having “an ample beard”.' But he goes on to say that “with a genial expression of aountenance, he was sensible, earnest, easily accessible, sweet, and inspired with the Holy Spirit”. lug. Is among the regular cur riculum of this popular glrla’ Bchobl. How senslhle. In all the world Is there anything more necessary for a girl T If anybody should know the problems of girls, It’s Joseph R. SeTler. for he’s taught and man aged them for twenty years. In add'tion to being the president of Fassifern, he has a summer camp for girls, Camp Greystone, In the North Carolina mountains. I asked Dr. Sevier if he taught a southern drawl as a part of his course, and he said, “No. Charm Is deeper than a manner of speech. Naturally many of onr glrla have what is called 'the southern accent’, but we have northern girls who haven’t any at all, and they’re equally pleas ing as our southern girls.” Here they are, girls, just as you would get them In the class room at Fassifern: 1. Interest yourself In others instead of trying to interest oth ers in you. The great secret of charm Is In thinking of the other person. 2. Don’t monopolise the conver sation. Draw out other members of the company present. Remem ber. that every person has an ego he wishes to express. 3. Do not expect constant praise. The girl who invariably tries to draw praise soon grows tiresome. If sbe wishes to make a good impression, it would be far better to praise the other person. To be liberal with praise if it Is .sincere, will lead toward making a dozen friends where the praiseseeker makes one. 4. ListM respectfully to the opinions tjthers. Do not make light of them .because you do not agree with them. Besides, the other person may be right. 5. Cultivate a skill which will give pleasure to others. By “skill” Is meant, habits which will In fluence and serve other people. For example, the girl who can .play the piano or tennis, or Is clever in other entertaining ways, is likely to be considered more charming tht-a the girl who does none of these things. Singing, story telling, making quick cari catures of those present, and for tune felling, will add to the a- musement of a group. In other words, the girl who “does some thing” Is more charming than the girl who sits back, contributing nothing. 6. If you feel a per.sou is lone ly, talk to him. serve him tea. There are many ways in which you can give attention and create happiness. Above all. says Dr. Sevier, give up the idea that charm consists of beautiful clothes, an accent, a smile. It’s deeper and far more fundamental! Since those qualifications are sometimes not stres.sed in the 8t: Pafanrfwrt.'

Here is how it worked in an ac tual home: A 14-quart pail was filled to the 12-quart level three times in .supplying water for soaking clothes. In removing the water the pail was filled three more times, making six pailfuls of water handled. Then for heat ing and washing, four pailfuls were carried to the boiler on the kitchen stove (this was winter time washing), then to the tub, then emptied out of doors, mak ing four .times, or 12 handlings of a full pail. TTie first rinsing re quired carrying three pailfuls of water to be heated, then to the tub, then emptied, making three times three, or rune pailfuls that were handled. For the second rinsing, four pailfuls were needed which made four .times three, or 12 more handlings. All this totals to 39 handlings of a pailful of water, and al though only 14 pailfuls of water were actually used, the frequent handling was equivalent to carry ing .117 gallons. Taking the weight of a gallon of water as 8 and 1-3 pounds, this meant car- ryiing about 1,000 pounds of wa ter. Of course this was only one task involving the lifting of hea vy pails of water in the home un der observation, Ellis pointed out. "Is there,^ therefore, any reason for a farm family not installing a low-cost water system to relieve the housewife of all this drudg ery?” the engineer asked. Bold Bandit Gets $4,860 From Bank Chanute, Kas., March 27.—A bandit who threatened to “blow the place to hell’’ with dynamite bomibs concealed in his clothing robbed the First National bank of $4,860 in currency today. He escaped in a commandeered taxi cab. The man forced City Attorn-^y Joe P- Balch under threat of be ing “blown up’ to accompany him to the bank. After the robbery he took Balch as hostage and drove souths from Chanute. He released the driver and Balch unharmed four miles froTT citv limits. ■It Took mlrAtteli COSTUAMS ■HOSiefa-N' to meet our • • ^ strict requirements, says VERA WEST UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Stylist 0 "Hosiery worn by the stars," sbe continues, "not only bas tobe smart, but must stand up under terrific strain.

But despite the intense suffering he en dured, his enthusiasm, for Christ and for Christian service never waned. There is an abundance ctf evidence to this effect in his letters. In fact his eagerness was so pronounced that it makes him at times al most incoherent. He wrote with such a feverish passion that he is abrupt and obscure on occasion so that his reasoning is not always easy to follow. But we can easily forgive his fault because of his- radiance, magnetism, and eloquence. Our lesson treats of. Paul’s conversion! What actually befell him on the Damascus road we do not really know. The accounts in Acts are, a bit confusing. But what matters is iJiat an ardent enemy of the new faith suddenly became its champion. Saul lof Tarsus, who "breathed threats of murder^ainrt the disciples oi the Lord”, Si, Paul the Apostle.
