CALIFORNIA BOOSTING: VIA THE BIBLE When the woman's wjna; of tho Ku Klux Klan, gets organized at no much ' per, tbero will bo no supper dishes left In tho kltchon sink except by paid up members. WE ARK both pained and grieved at the recent news concern ing Long Beach, California, transmitted via Kansas City. It seems the bible classes of these two enterprising cities recently engaged in a contest for the world's record for bible class attendance. Last Sunday, Long Beach announced a total attendance of 31,034. Apparently they not only counted J. W. Ligenfelter, of Kansas City, who attended the meeting, but also a corps of his detectives armed with adding, machines. For no sooner had the Long Beach total been announced than Mr. Ligenfelter aross to proclaim that Long Beach had chca"'' ! Instead of an attendance of 31,034, there were, excluding Mr. Ligenfelter and his sleuths, only 13,930. This is considerable inflation, even for Long Beach, California. Probably the Long Beach bible lender could be excused for counting the Kansas City delegation, but even the. Long Beach Chamber of ilomincrce Would hesitate to claim that the Kansas City bible spies totalled 17,104.' Of course if this had been a government census, there would have been from the California standpoint not only an excuse but justi iication. . B'.t t :is was a bible class count. And while mere attend ance at a bible class meeting does not presuppose strict adherence either to .veracity or the ten commandments, there would seem to bo a certain obligation involved regarding common decency. Now, if the Long Beach Mayor, as leader of the bible class, for example had only stretched 13,030 into say 17,390, why even Mr. Ligenfelter, who undoubtedly intends to live in California eventually, might have excused him. But to raise 13,930 to 31,034 over 100 per cent no fair-minded pflrson can blame the biblical student from Kansas City for complaining. V ' True, the Long Bench Mayor comos back. He declares Kansas City cheated as well, by not observing the rule that the classes must meet in one place. But M. W. Dibble, president of the Kansns City bible class and opponent of Sunday movies, quite properly rejoins that tho crowd in Knpsas City was so huge to-wit, 52,121 that it couldn't be herded into any ono place. Although prediction is nlways hazardous, it is safe to say that Long Bench will be severely rebuked by California Incorporated at its next meeting. And while this report in its entirety can't be forecasted, two counts will certainly be something like this: . "To the Bible Leader, of Long Beach, California: The next time you have a biblo class contest with Kansas City, first send a detec tive and an adding machine to Kansas City; and, second, don't an nounce your biblo attendance first 1" ' NAMK THE VEHICLES (Albauy Democrat) y HarrlBburg, Lebanon, Sclo nnd ..perhaps other towns wore ropro "sentetl In Albany Wednesday '.evening.

Address Or. William Brady,. In care of this newspaper. Fixing tho Guilt . It .should be cheering to know that the recent experience of life Insurance companies rather strengthens the be lief, that a person over 30 and a wee trifle underweight, that Is, under the average weight for one of his age and height, has a longer lease on life than he would have If he were nice and plump. Anyhow, without a trace of sym pathy for 'em, I feel In duty bound to remind all fat folks over 30 of the wise saying of one Lulgt Cornaro, who lived 102 years, 400 years apo a tremendous achievement In that shorts lived day that "he who would eat much must eat little." Meaning y' understand, that If an average life span were one week and you wishod to last right thru to Saturday night you'd leave tho table 20 times at least. Cor naro tore that one off in ' tho most casual manner, and here I've . been studying for years on the same prob lem and the best I havo been able to do Is "whoever Is too fat overeats." Cornaro's epigram makes 'em think nnd mine just makes 'em mad. His stuff is wisdom; mine is sarcasm. All right, Ihen. ae you will, but I toll you frankly that I am a Turk in my admiration of fat even tho I know It is a sad mistake from tho hygenic point of view. It is because I find fat folks easier to look at than thin ones that I say and do all I can to keep the fat ones with us longer Indeed, If I had my way about It, we should punish every overweight indi vidual who .falls to attain the age of 80 years. Obesity is an insidious degeneration which creeps over the victim unaware. Ten, 15, 20. 30 pounds too much, one fondly attributes to, "good digestion" or fine health or the climate or some.- thlug as fatuous. This is the danger zono. .Some fine morning you curi ously step on the scale to discover that tho excess baggage . has suddenly jumped to 40 or GO pounds and youth seems further away than It did the day you noticed your first gray hairs or the time when, some joy killer pointed out your bald spot. Youth is far- away; ' going, going,, but not irrevocably 'gohe. ' That's the happy part of It; tvc, after 30, spells senility even more certainly than hardened arteries do, yet there Is hope for most cases. Altho you have eaten yourself close , to the brink, you can still come back. Didn't George do It? George Cheyne, at 30. weighed 448 pounds In whatever they wore In Scotland In 1702, and was short of breath, lethargic and listless, like all obese folk. Then he got hy giene, so to speak, began dieting on milk and vegetables, and reduced his weight to' 150 pounds, recovered his strength and vigor and lived to be 72 years old. Excess flesh Is mostly slacker flesh, which you nourish and tote around but which serves no good purpose. A strain on the heart toting it. Getting fat after 30 Is slow suicide. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mole Near tho Kyo I havo a mole close to the eyo and am afraid to, treat It with corn cure for fear that It may get into my eyes. What safer method would you sug gest?" (M. M. Q.) Answer. There Is bo' safe method of self treatment for moles or warts or any Qther apparently benign lesion or blemish about the face or neck. The only safe and sane plan Is to leave such treatment to the skill and judg ment of a physician. The amateur use of certain medicaments for warts or corns about the hands or foot 1b comparatively safe, but no one with out medical training may safely at tempt minor surgical operations about the face. Tho Eternal Gallstone Kindly advise if gallstones can be dissolved. MuBt one have an operation to be cured? (8. A.) Answer. When somebody Invents a method of dissolving beeswax In a goldfish bowl we may begin to enter tain hope for the discovery of some : means of dissolving gallstones In tho bile- ducts or the gall sac. Meanwhile I the only available cure is operation. . Remarkably Sane Parents . I My parents object. to my having bobbed hair. They say t am too old .to have It bobbed. I am 16. I have 'snarled my hair until there Is hardly .anything left of It. Do you think It would bo foolish for me to have It (bobbed? My mother says If you say : it would be goo it for my hair, I can have It done. D. V. M. I.") Answer. Yes; it would be foolish, , and besides, haven't you heard that bobbed hair Is passe now?

One. is, my chil dren, the word "discroet" which is a thin varnish for guilt;, and the otlier is "an hon orable .marriage" Ther- another kind of Tnarr'.u.ge the ; lishonor able mar rlago, and it is about that ghastly so cial gesture to society's selfish blindness chat I write today. In tho city ot Chicago the other day an unmarried mother of a child of eleven years a little girl came Into court to gain posftssion of her daughter who had been beard ed in a private family since infancy. This mother, a public school teacher. told the authorities that she had re fused to marry the father of her child. Why? Maybe because Bhe did not love him enough to desire him to be her husband. Maybe because, once the false step had been taken, and she perhaps made a victim of a scheming seducer, she had bravely scorned a dishonorable marriage and had gone her way, determined to face the world and take the consequences. Ah, but there's the rub. Had she a right to deprive her little daughter of an honest" name? . Strange as it may seem, half the law's, administrators who were Interviewed decided . that the mother should have married the father of the child no matter how odious the "honorable" . marriage might be. The others agreed with the woman that she had a right to pro tect herself from a shameful alliance. Two wrongs do not nake one right. Society no longer looks askance at the offspring "of an illegitimate union. Marriage is honorable only bo long as It is reverent and founded upon mut ual responsibility. As a "way out of a bad job" marriage is the last rofugo that should be offered to seducers and moral outlaws. Marrlago is beautiful, holy, a covenant. It Is not a ratholo in the wall.
