Editorial Correspondence
HOCKFORD, Illinois, July 12.-r-" Hallelujah I Praise the
Lord I" Sister Aimee is with us again!
And if age has withered or custom staled this amazing wom
an, your correspondent failed to deteot it.. She's the same old
Aimee, and is packing 'em in at the Shrine Temple, afternoon
and evening, putting on a good snappy show at both perfor
mances, AND MAKING ABOUT 3000 on her investment.
Yes, an amazing woman! We know all the things that
can be and are said against her, and don't doubt their truth.
She is a fakir, a gold digger, an adventuress, a hypocrite, but
she is also,
One of the greatest natural actresses, since Dusej one of
the most persuasive and dynamic personalities, since Carrie
Nation; and at least as shrewd and capable in business affairs,
as Hetty Green.
And she "gets" you, In spite of 11 you can do or say, or
at least she gets most of us. When she is hitting on all six,
you can no more be indifferent to her than you could be indif
ferent to a high-powered galvanic battery that pulled the cuff
links out of your shirt.
We detest that moth-eaten Hollywood cliche, but the old
gal has "It." There is no other word for it. You may have
no respect for her, and you may deplore her methods, but if
you can sit m a crowd before her for 35 minutes, and remain
cool, detached and indifferent, then your insulation against
emotional appeal, is greater, and your susceptibility to mob
psychology LESS, THAN IS THE CASE WITH MOST OF US
POOR MORTALS.
We attended last night's seance with a person of intelligence,
discrimination and good horse sense. She went to scoff but
stayed to marvel. Nothing that Aimee, or any one else said,
appealed to her INTELLIGENCE. Mentally and emotionally
she is several generations removed from the cymbal and base
drum type of religion. Yet something perhaps it was merely
the noise, the barbario RHYTHM got under her skin. She
decided it wasn't so much Aimee as the audience.
We have a hunch she is right. It Isn't what Sister Aimee is,
but what she appears to be to others, what she can evoke from
the audience, that counts and leaves 99 out of 100 people
who go to hear her, vaguely stirred, and against their better
judgment, impressed.
For regardless of Aimee most of her followers ARE sincere.
This is real religion to them and they feel it deeply. It is this
mass spirit which is genuine and no one better than Sister Aimee
can arouse, which sweeps one off his or her intellectual feet
for the time being, and Aimee cashes In on it.
Several years have passed and much has happened since
we last heard Aimee in Pasadena, but she has not changed,
or as far as we could disoovor lost one single erg of vitality. She
is musoular, forceful, dramatio, an animal energy fairly exudes
from her she still wears the oyster-white gown (the cape lined
with crimson) j still has the perfectly coiffured hair perhaps
a little Uss yellow and a little more reddish-brown than before,
she still flips off her shoe and catching it in her hand, illustrates
how Christ filled the shoes of sinners she still bangs one hand
on the other (ONE TWO THREE!) to illustrate the nailing
of the body on the cross she still hag that husky voice, which
has vocally assailed the Devil, on so many platforms for so many
years. And of course, she still hag her jazz band for hymns,
her choir girls who do a vaudeville turn, and her wisecracks.
Say what you will Aimee Semple McPherson has made her
self FELT in the world, and impressed her personality upon
this generation. Her main purpose has been collecting money
not saving souls, but what has the main purpose of most Ameri
cans beent And who can be sure Sister Aimee hasn't succeeded
in both directions? Certainly she has made money and we have
no doubt thore were hundreds of people in that audience last
night who wore CONVINCED their souls were being saved.
And after all isn't that what saving souls means t
.
And' whatever may be whispered against Sister Aimcc, the
gospel she preaches is highly moral and soundly orthodox. She
is fighting sin and the devil, she is lambasting liquor and to
bacco, she is belaboring dancing and the night club. One is
not surprised to find few young poople in the audience. Her
hearers are made up of elderly people or those of middle ace.
some of the latter with little children, who are kept awake by
the sprightly music, and the quick change of pace, as Aimee
strides up and down the platform.
California incorporated loses nothing by Sister Aimee 's
pilgrimages in the Middlowest. Her address was prefaced by
painting the glories of her Los Angeles home the climatic ad
vantages of the sun-kissed state. It was a hot, dank, stifling
night. A week of rain, in this torrid heat, has produced a truly
tropical atmosphere. One would not be surprised to see ferns
and bamboo stalks, and banana trees, pushing through the over
hanging elms, as the homeward trek from the "temple" starts
up Main Street. In that procession some have visions of the
Promised Land no doubt, but more, we wager are figuring how
muon u win cost to move tne raraily, bag and baggage, out to
California, before another winter comes. R. W. R.

LET'S HAVE A OOOD SWEAT
Now, children, pleAM put your lit
tle physiology book away with your
Mother Ooom and Orlmm'a Fairy
Talea, for that's
where school
textbooks pur
porting to dV'al
with physiology
belong. Today
we're going to
have a nice big
sweat.
First we ought
to find out what
sweat consists of,
don't you think?
And why we

except a, wee bit on the pads of his
feet.
Many of your children are almost
aa familiar with the da Vlncl legend
as you are with Little Red Riding
hood. For those of you who are not
brought up on fairy talea we may
explain briefly that according to the
funny yam a number of children were
gilded for some show, and they be
gan to collftpae and some died, but
the versatile Leonardo stepped In and
quickly washed off the gilt or paint
with spirits and thus saved some of
the ohildron from death by suffoca
tion or autointoxication or something.
The beat answer to thla old wife's
tale, children, is this: Rabbits do not
sweat at all they have no sweat
glands; and yet U you cover more
than one-fourth of the surface of
a rabbit's body with an Impermeable
coating such as paint or varnish the
animal will die In a very short time,
unless you keep the poor creature
warm by artificial means. If you
keep the animal's temperature about
normal by means of warm covering
or a hot water bottle, there will be
no HI effect at alt.
The harm In such Impermeable
covering of the akin Is therefore not
due to suppression of sweat or to any
Influence on Imaginary "breathing"
by the skin, but solely to loss of body
heat, which Is too rapidly dissipated
from the varnished surface. Before
death .from such cause the body tem
perature falls far below tha normal.
Warm-blooded animals cannot survive
when more than half the body sur
face Is painted, unless they are kept
artificially warm.
Recently some fan dancer or stage
venus whose body had been painted
with some dye or color suffered poi
soning. A lot of little boys and girls

Jumped at this Incident as evidence
In support of the fancy that the skin
breathes or that the sweat carries
harmful poisons or "toxic" waste mat
ter from the body. Whatever poison
ing occurred In that case, or In any
case where the material Is applied to
the surface of the body, la due to
Inhalation of some of the poison
through the lungs. No one has yet
found any good evidence to dispute
this fact.
The sweat perspiration to you,
prude consists of nothing else but
salt and water, practically. Traces of
a dozen other substances are found In
the sweat, but PHYSIOLOGICALLY,
my dear children, you may take It as
undebatable that the only purpose of
sweating In any circumstance Is to
keep the body cool, and nothing of
any Importance Is eliminated, thrown
off, excreted or carried out in or by
the sweat, in health or disease, save
salt and water.
Not that sweating Isn't a good thing,
in health and rx-me times In disease.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
AS THESE WORDS are written,
which Is about noon on Saturday,
the strike situation Is by long odds
more menacing than It has yet been.
No One can say what the next few
hours may bring forth.
The dispatches at this hour point
strongly toward declarations of mar
tial law.
The Pacific coast Is apparently In
for serious trouble.
HERE In the Interior, where we
lack opportunities for first-hand
observation upon which to base out
own opinions, these questions arise In
our minds:
How did the trouble start?
What are the Issues that are In
volved? How did the situation come to get
as serious as It Is?
And, finally, what will be done
about It?
THE TROUBLE started with the
longshoremen's strike, and the is
sue Involved In the longshoremen's
strike was the closed shop.
The closed shop means employment
of union workers ONLY.
HERE in the interior, where the
boats don't run, many readers of
this newspaper may not even know
what a longshoreman Is. Longshore
men are the men who load and unload
ships.
Their hours of employment are un
certain, depending upon arrival and
departure of ships and the amount
of cargo available. They gather In
what are known as hiring halls, and
to these halls come both the men who
want Jobs and the employers who
want men.
Some such system Is necessary, be
cause of the nature of the employ
ment. NOW GET THIS? for It Is Important
to an understanding of the hiring
hall Issue:
' In the past, It has been the custom
for employers to pick and choose
among the men present In the hiring
halls, taking those that in their Judg
ment are most efficient, and leaving
those that they regard as least ef
ficient. The union Insisted on union super
vision of the hiring halls, hiring of
union men only and hiring them IN
ROTATION, Instead of picking and
choosing.
THIS ISSUE of only union men In
the hiring halls and hiring In
rotation, Instead of picking and
choosing among applicants, la the rock
upon which all negotiations so far
have been wrecked.
It Is fundamental, as you can
readily see, to the closed shop prin
ciple. That la why It has been so
stubbornly fought out.
lira NOW come to the question:
W "How did the situation get as
serious as It Is?"
In trying to answer It, this writer,
who has not been on the ground at
any of the embattled ports, except for
a few noun in Portland on Friday,
will have to depend somewhat upon
the opinions of fair-minded men with
whom he has talked In the past week
or so.
THESE MEN,-in whose )ir.nent
this writer has confide- , 4 that
as the strike proceeded -t p t more
and more out of the hands of the re
sponsible labor leaders, who were
fighting sincerely for the closed shop
principle, and Into the hands of reck
less agitators whose chief purpose was
to stir up trouble.
Communists, or reds. In other
words.
PROBABLY you will ask here: How
have these reds been able to con
trol the whole body of longshoremen;
many of whom must certainly want
to get back to workT
In trying to find an answer to that
question, you will have to take human
nature and mob psychology Into con
sideration. THE VOTI NGr member, has been
open not secret. Men have re
corded their votes by holding up their
hands, or standing up.
That la to say, EVERYBODY knew
Just how they voted.
IT IS an established" fact, as every-
1 one who has observed auch things
knows, that men will vote FAR DIF
FERENTLY In a crowd to the way
they will vote in secret.
This writer, time and again, has
seen chamber of commerce and er
vlce club organisations swayed by
some orator with a special purpose
into voting unanimously for things
these same men wouldn't have
THOUOHT of approving If the voting
had been secret.
The agitators who have been active
In the longshoremen's strike have
known how to take advantage of this
quirk tn human nature,
ANOTHER THING:
Competent men state that con
servative members of the longshore
men'! vnion, who would like to vote

Pretty Blossom Chan, who charms

the Fair's beauty contests until her
elimination In the semi-finals.
to go back to work, have been AFRAID
to do so, lest they bs beaten up the
first time they go somewhere alone.
' The radicals haven't hesitated to
use force to gain their own ends,
while protesting In the same breath
against use of force by the authori
ties to maintain order.
THE TROUBLE started with the
longshoremen's strike. The origi
nal Issue was the closed shop. The
situation has got as serious as It la
by the simple process of one thing
leading to another, with agitators
muddying the water at every opportu
nity. What It will lead to at this moment
no one knows, any more than we can
know where the grass fire that starts
from a spark will go before It Is
finally extinguished or dies out. The
passions that are engendered by big
strikes are as hot as the flames of a
