JUNE 13, 1919 OBSERVATIONS The dirt unci refuse in the gut ters on Front street is being cleaned away this week, and -we are ol' the opinion that the street is about to reeeivc its annual bath of oil. If you haven't given your con tribution to the Salvation Army fund, jst ask any soldier from ucross if they aren't deserving of all they ask. There is still time. Do right by them. Leave it at cither bank. An article in last week's issue of the Journal criticising the man ner in which the cemetery hns been cared for met with much dis satisfaction by the board. The story only expressed the public opinion and was a mild form of criticism as we heard it from those who observed conditions. We wish to apologize to the board if they feel it was meant as a personal slam, though in no manner was it meant as such. How many citizens of Pcrrys burg have weighed Ihe question of a chemical lire engine for our town? The Moser garage fire a few days past, was a fine demon stration of what chemicals will do in getting quick control of a fire. The-' Civic Association is making an investigation as to what will he the best apparatus and probable cost of same. A chemical fire wagon is an absolute necessity for the village protection and should get the support of 300 per cent of its people. An Erie, Pa., man wore a broad smile of satisfaction when he set tled back behind the steering wheel of his little Cheveolct the other morning after it had been turned over to him by towif authorities. The car was the one found in the possession of the five young men arrested on suspicion Friday' night on the river road. "What an awful lot of bother it causes the owner to have his ma chine stolen. If a law were passed equal in punishment to the lowli ness of "stealing an auto" there would be probably less of it done. JfJi enlightened and patriotic Brit Salter has Just done for his country iftut some nlert American should do for the United States: he has crren 1100,000 to endow the "Marshal Foch professorship of French literature" at Oxford university. The endowment Will place the study of French on the fun footing as the study of Latin and Greek In the famous university, and thus the ties that bind the two coun- tAv together will be strengthened. while for all time the students of Ox- ttrjl will be reminded of the creat crrlees of Marshal Foch. Knowledge tt farelgn languages Is now a neces sity of educated Americans, and par- ucRUrly a knowledge of French, says .Washington Post That Is the univer sal language, as useful in travel and foreign intercourse as It is delightful In tta literature. Americans hereafter will Ibe closely associated with the French nation. Thousands of Ameri cans will remain In Frnnro nr innlrfi sifningements to return there. No doubt business Interests will be devel oped which will Increase the need of men who are thoroughly familiar with both languages. Young Americans should be enabled to learn the French language as a part of their regular education. French professorships should be established In every college, and as soon as possible the language should be made a part of the common school course. Washington, D. O. A curious fact Basjseon orougnt to light by the Edu catlenal Bureau and the Bureau of In dustrial Research here. It Is that In the states where illiteracy Is most prevalent paint is least used. The palat referred to is the common or ban variety, of course, for the back-, woow countries have no need for the tier pigments or facial adornments. It is true, though, that In the sections f all states where white illiteracy is kJfkest painted homes are rare and palatal outbuildings and barns are Braettcally unknown.

Finishing details are being placed on the arrangements for the erection of the largest screen for the projec tion of pictures ever built in the world. This is to be one of the fea tures of the Methodist Centenary Cel ebration, to be held in Columbus, June 20 to July 13. This monster screen will have a surface for pictures 115x115 feet. The actual structure will be several feet larger ill each direction. A special lantern has been successfully devised for throwing these tremendous pic tures the necessary distance. The screen will be 250 feet from the near est spectator and will be built to withstand 40 pounds pressure to the square foot. The lantern which will project these pictures has already successfully thrown pictures on a screen in New York City across a distance of four and a half city blocks. According to Architect Harry O. Holbrook, the screen will be, in effect, three sides of a house. It is necessary to give it the foundations equivalent to a four-story building. In order that there may be as much salvage as possible after the screen has served its purpose, the picture face will be of fitted lumber, which later will be treated with a white surface preparation. The estimated cost of this screen will be $8,000. The screen and the lantern will be used in showing the tens of thousands of views, made all over the world by the Methodist Missionary Survey, which has the finest collection of pictorial reviews anywhere in the. world.
