Professor Sees Hole
In Kinstein Religion
Rev, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of
Princeton University, in the Janu
ary number of the official organ of
the Presbyterian Church, says that
Professor Albert Einstein's “co.
mic religious sense” seems to have
a “big hole right in the centre of
it." Commenting on Einstein’s
statement that “the only deeply
religious people of our age are the
earnest men of research," Dr. Van
Dyke says, “this is certainly an
overstatement "
Junior Orphanage
Has 1,035 Bright,
Happy Children
ro Editor ol The Star:
Some time in November last pact
t was called upon by a committee
if Piny council No. 243 to take four
children of a deceased brother of
their council to the national or
phanage of the Junior Order Unit
ed American Mechanics which is lo
cated at Tlffon, Ohio. Tills indeed
was a dreadful trip in a way. bid
nevertheless 1 love to discharge my
duties as best X can, so gett.ng ready
and leaving about noon Thur. day
we landed at the orphanage In Tif
fon at 2:30 Friday, There we saw
one ol the most beautiful sights 1
have ever been able to Jook upon.
First of ail, tire large number of
dormitories, the magnificent school
building, the large heating plant
the finely equipped hospital and
one of the best churches and finest
dairy barns surrounded by a (arm
of 900 acres of land, Something bet
ter than North Carolina could af
ford. Round about the home and In
it we found 1,035 bright, beautiful
children being sent there from ail
over the United States.
I Their fathers once belonged to
this noble organization but death
claimed them ns its victim. It is
wonderful Indeed to know that over
77 years ago. 12 young men had the
knowledge and wisdom to start such
a wonderful organization and hand
it down to others to use their skill
to prepare such a wonderful home
for the fatherless children of this
order.
Another great thought is to
think of such a man as the man
who is the head of the home. He
is commonly called Daddy Kernen,
who Is as a father to these 1,033
children. Think, brothers, a mo
ment, just what it menus to belong
to an organization with such won
derful privileges as to raise and
educate your children after you are
planted back to the earth.
They start them out in the world
without daddy for a living. If all
the members of our order could
only look at this wonderful scene
never would you be suspended for
non-payment of dues. Again may 1
call you back to the thought that
those children are taught to work
as they have 160 fine dairy cows
from which they get milk to; drink.
The boys are taught to feed and
care for them beside* do the farm
work, and look after a large poultry
farm
way i. wa you again about the
hospital. When kids are taken tu.
they are kept In the hospital 10 days
and treated lor all kinds of disease
and given a medical treatment be
fore being admitted to the dormi
tories. Another good thing about
the home is that the girls are cared
for in a respectable way. When
they go to town they always have
a guard with them. May you ever
think of our orphanage as a decent
and noble place to send your chil
dren. I want to request you 11 an
opportunity to visit the home ever
presents itself to you, don’t let it
pass, but make the trip as it is only
about 660 miles from Shelby. With
many thanks to the editor and best
wishes to the members ol Shelby
council, I remain,

Well Dressed Man
To Wear Green Now
! -
Will Be Prevailing Color In 1931
Style. Dark Blue
Popular.
Philadelphia,—Here is how the
well dressed man will look in the
spring and rummer of 1931, as de
creed by the International Associa
tion of Clothing Designers:
The predominating color is
green.
Shoulders will be broader, waists
slimmer and higher, coats longer'
and sleeves harrow at the hand, in-1
dicating that anything but the slen
der young man will be prsse.
Bottle green and a deep, dark blue J
are the predominating colors for j
sports wear, and a return of the]
!notched lapel is favored. Sports;
coats to be worn with flannels are]
trimmed with white pearl buttons j
patch pockets and belted backs, and;
one display of business suits was of]
bright green, elaborated with bright ]
green buttons.
For the welt dressed man, H. K.
Burnam, secretary of the associa-1
tion, Issued this style forecast at!
the clo-e of the organization's semi-:
annual convention: “There will be aj
decided tendency toward square'
shoulders of generous width for!
sack coats, and definite outlines will
be stream-lined, while the general
outlook will be more slender than
heretofore.
“Suit coats will be a quarter of an
Inch longer. The chest effect will be
broad and generous. Waists will be
defined and rather high. Pockets,
too, will be set rather high. "Sleeves
will be narrow at the hand without
being stinted. One-button coats will
be a predominating feature, while
the most outstanding newer effects
will be expressed in sports wear.

Cornet Troubles
President Revealed
New York-Picking cabinet mem
bers nicy be .no easy task for recent
Presidents, but it was virtual dilem
ma to George Washington, who
started the thing, two of his letters,
to be auctioned Friday disclose.
They show that he offered the
post of Secretary of State to Them
as Johnson. He enclosed an offer
for the same position to Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney. this to be for
warded when and if Johnson re
fused.
After both had refused to serve,
Washington wrote Edward Char
rington, offering him the place and
requested him to dispatch "the en
closed offer" to Patrick Henry if
Charrington urned down the job
“I Would have made the offer (o
Mr, Henry hi the first instance.’
Washington wrote, "but two reasons
were opposed to it: First, ignorance
of his political sentiments (for I
should consider it an ac£ of govern
mental suicide to bring a man ’<o
so high an officq who was unfriend
ly to the constitution and laws
which are to be his guide' and sec
ond, because I had no idea he
wruld accept the office."
Pie was right. Henry, too, refused.
Historians say much of the diffi
culty ki filling the post was due to
Washington's endorsement of Jay’s
treaty with Great Britain.
The letters to be sold are from
the collections of William R. P>w
ell of New' York and Helwood G
Hunter of Boswell. Va
