CROSS-WORD PUZZLES HELPFUL That there is actual benefit, as well as pleasure, to be derived from the efforts of the many young people, also some older ones, directed at various convenient times these days towards the solution of the popular cross-word puzzles featured in numerous publications—such is the burden of an article appearing in the Christian Science Monitor of late date. That excellent newspaper presents the following apt illusion to the brain-exercising task of figuring out the acrostics and the real value to be attained, specially by young folks in thus becoming better acquainted with the English language through addition of synonyms to their vocabularies: “Surely Cowper had the present cross-word puzzles to mind when he wrote those lines in retirement: Philologists, who chase A panting syllable through time and space, Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah’s ark. “Prof. George Burton Hotchkiss, head of the department of advertising and marketing of New York University, who spoke before the annual meeting of the Association of National Advertisers at Atlantic City the other day, urged that even cross-word puzzles are not to be despised, because they are an indication that the human mind can triumph over the dictionary. Be that as it may, however, the fact remains that many men and women are finding in these puzzles just the incentive that they needed to inspire them to a study of the dictionary. Anything that fulfills such a function cannot be spoken lightly of nor laughed out of court.” To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's ark.

FAMED WRITER KILLED IN TRAFFIC Gene Stratton Porter killed in traffic on the streets of Los Angeles! Another horror. Another shock to the country. Here was one of the most affamous writers of fiction in America. A hazardous condition in traffic takes her life virtually instantly. She passed away without regaining consciousness, after the crash of her machine in collision with a street car. When a prominent person is stained in traffic the impression is wider and deeper than if an ordinary person was taken. Not that one life is to be regarded as more precious, per se, than another. But when a well known personage perishes the public focalizes attention on the tragedy and the horror of it is more real to the public. Consider what the world loses when a great writer thus is taken in the zenith of her career. Mrs. Porter, had she lived out the years that normally might have been expected of her, probably would have produced other books and other films which would have delighted millions. This potential productivity of a fertile and brilliant mind is lost to the world by one cruel mishap on overcrowded streets. Tragedy after tragedy is preaching, with dramatic eloquence, the gospel of safety. This slaughter must not go on! Civilization Doomed BUT MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE WILL BE THE TOPIC OF A LECTURE BY MR. J. D. NAISMITH LECTURING UNDER AUSPICES OF THE I.B.S.A. MOOSE HALL, 135 W. Center Street SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, at 7:30 p.m. After centuries of laborious effort to better conditions, man's civilization is nearing complete collapse. Selfishness has gone to seed, and the harvest of destruction has begun. The world's darkest hour is just before its greatest blessing. Hope for the people lies in the Kingdom of God, now at hand. ALL CORDIALLY INVITED PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Equality wouldn't make people happy. There would be nobody left to snub. But will Mr. Dawes know how to restrict Senators to parliamentary language? A mule's flat ears mean trouble; a mortal's flat ears mean a radio headphone. A cat watching a mouse is careless compared with a village watching a wilder. The modern test of will power is to work cross-word puzzles or a sport model. Occasionally you meet a self-made man who doesn't think the voice of the people a solo. A paunch doesn't interfere much unless you have a breakfast room or a sports modl. There's one good thing about watered hooch. It's only half as rotten as the pure stuff. It is pleasant to think of the millennium. It can be inaugurated without any speeches.

Women are naturally heroic. SAVE the DIFFERENCE There's a difference in gasolines and when you figure out your cost per mile over a week or a month with "Red Crown" it's a difference worth saving. A difference in power and mileage—that's why "Red Crown" was used to make the remarkable mileage records of 35 to 40 miles per gallon in the majority of the 100-hour non-stop economy runs recently conducted throughout the Pacific Coast. A difference in "pep"—change to "Red Crown," step on the starter, and you'll feel the difference. Fill at the red, white, and blue pump with "Red Crown"—"in every way a better gasoline."

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS WLADISLAW REYMONT Poland draws the attention of the literary world, as one of its authors, Wladisław Reymont, is awarded the 1924 Nobel prize for literature by the Swedish Academy. The award comes as just recognition of Reymont's efforts, the board believes. Reymont, a member of the later school of Polish poetry, has had a career which reads like fiction. He is now 56. He was born in what was then Russian Poland the son of poor parents with twelve children. His father was a member of one of the patriotic bands which staged the rebellion of 1863, and a strong sense of nationalism was instilled into all his children. Reymont was expelled from several schools because he refused to speak and write Russian. He pursued a number of careers before his writing was recognized. Clerk, farmer, actor, telegraph operator and clerk again, he finally retired to a monastery, but spent only a few months there. Then he took up literature, at first in the form of poems, which attracted considerable notice. His first short story, "Death," was published in 1894 and two years later he followed it with a novel "The Comedienne," which was an immediate success. There followed "Fermentation", "The Promised Land," "The Vampire" "The Peasants," and "The Dreamer." Reymont has been widely translated into nearly all the European tongues, but least of all in English. The award was for his novel "Polish Peasants," in four volumes, issued between 1904 and 1909. The novel in reality is a review of Poland's history since that country's partition to the close of the eighteenth century. The volumes are entitled "Autumn," "Winter," "Spring" and "Summer." Reymont was born in 1868. John W. Davis is gittin' lots o' bouquets fer takin' his defeat so gracefully, but we'll bet he took it as a matter o' course.

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" COOKED VEGETABLES. NOT SO GOOD. (Continued) SMALL FRESH SUGAR PEAS contain so little starch that they may be easily classed as non-starchy vegetables, and may be used in that classification by anyone who is especially fond of them, or where better kinds of non-starchy vegetables are not obtainable. All legumes, such as peas, peanuts, and beans contain a large percentage of both protedd and starch, and seems to be a bad combination in themselves, invariably producing flatulence. However, if the green peas are very young and small, a limited amount may be used without inducing any distress. SAUERKRAUT is made of shredded raw cabbage, soaked in salt brine, and in usually served after being cooked. Although raw cabbage may be used as a good salad food, much of its value is destroyed when prepared in this way because of the large amount of salt in which it is soaked. I cannot advise its use except in very limited quantities by those who experience no discomfort after eating it. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying ENGLISH, UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE—Berkeley Gazette If the sun never sets on the British Empire, neither does it ever set on the English language. In addition to the British dominions where English is the common speech, there are the United States and its possession. A writer in the London Mail calls public attention to the rapid spread in use of English. In 1801 only about 20,500,000 people spoke English. By 1890 the number had increased to 11,000,000. Today it is around 170,000,000, and rapidly increasing. By the year 1950 this number may be doubled. Russian, Chinese and Spanish are the nearest rivals to English as a popular language. The first two are not considered serious rivals, because of their cumbersomeness and also because their use is not growing now. Spanish is the principal language of America south of the United States, and the number of persons using it are increasing as the population of the Latin-American countries increases. Still, it lacks one element of growth which English possesses. Practically all over the world English is regarded as an important language. It is taught in many of the schools of almost all the civilized nations. Educated representatives of the Oriental nations learn English as do those of Europe. It really looks as if English has a fairly good chance to be the universal language—for a while. WHY DISTANT OBJECTS PLEASE The things that are far away, those that are least convenient for us to obtain, are what we value most. No apple within reach seems quite as red and insoluble and desirable as one on the uppermost branch of the tree. No country is as enchanting as that farthest away. "Distant objects please," William Hazlitt suggested, "because in the first place, they imply an idea of space and magnitude, and because, not being obtruded too close upon the eye, we clothe them with indistinct and ally colors of fancy. "In looking at the misty mountain tops that bound the horizon, the mind is as it were conscious of all the conceivable objects and interests that lie between; we imagine all sorts of adventures in the interim; strain our hopes and wishes to reach the air-drawn fires, or to 'descry new lands, rivers and mountains,' stretching far beyond it; our feelings carried out of themselves lose their grossness and their husk, are rarified, expanded, melt into softness and heighten by burning." have two troubles instead of who has drunk his fill soon in the back on the fountain. will never worship well the on the altar who knew it it was a trunk of wood in order. have the most to fear fortune when we have the handful of her. care of risking much if he lives advice is a poor man. in hell one finds comship. all between best preserves ship. ore is a remedy for every but death. creditor always has a memory than the doctor. make excuses before theyeded is to blame oneself. you would know the worth ucat, go and borrow one.

No apple within reach seems quite as red and luscious and desirable as one on the uppermost branch of the tree. No country is as enchanting as that farthest away. "Distant objects please." William Hazlitt suggested, "because in the first place, they imply an idea of space and magnitude, and because, not being obtruded too close upon the eye, we clothe them with indistinct and airy colors of fancy. "In looking at the misty mountain tops that bound the horizon, the mind is as it were conscious of all the conceivable objects and interests that lie between; we imagine all sorts of adventures in the interim; strain our hopes and wishes to reach the air-drawn cirea, or to 'descry new lands, rivers and mountains,' stretching far beyond it; our feelings carried out of themselves lose their grossness and their husk, are rarified, expanded, melt into softness and brighten into beauty, turning to ethereal mould, sky-tinctured. "Whatever is placed beyond the reach of sense and knowledge, whatever is imperfectly discerned, the fancy pieces out at its leisure; and all but the present moment, but the present spot, passion claims for its own, and brooding over it with wings outspread, stamps it with an image of itself. "Passion is lord of infinite space, and distant objects please because they border on its confines, and are moulded by its touch. "Distance of time has much the same effect as distance of place. "It is not surprising that fancy colors the prospect of the future as it thinks good, when it even effaces the forms of memory. "Time takes out the sting of pain; our sorrows after a certain period have been so often steeped in a medium of thought and passion, that they 'unmould their essence,' and all that remains of our original impressions is what we would wish them to have been. "Not only the untried steep ascent before us, but the rude unsightly masses of our past experience presently resume their power-of deception over the eye; the golden cloud soon rests upon their heads, and the purple light of fancy clothes their barren sides!" "All infractions of love and equity in our social relations are speedily punished. They are punished by Fear. While I stand in simple relations to my fellow man, I have no displeasure in meeting him. We meet as water meets water, or a current of air meets another, with perfect diffusion and interpretation of nature. But as soon as there is any departure from simplicity, and attempt at halfness, or good for me that is not good for him, my neighbor feels the wrong; he shirks from me as far as I have shrunk from him; his eyes no longer seek mine; there is war between us; there is hate in him, and fear in me."
