Told Without Varnish by Ben Long An Akron Church IT was my privilege on Sunday morning to make a short address on the value of The Gideons before the Sunday-school Bethany Lutheran church, 837 Carroll street, Akron. The financial response was splendid. But let me add that to the pastor, the Rev. Carl David Bostrom, should go the credit for the warm reception accorded the "Bible in every room of every hotel." Not only did he grant me favors rarely accorded a visitor but he made an address I regard as one of the best—undoubtedly the best —I ever listened to. And that after many years of newspapering in cities of more than one million persons. PASTOR BOSTROM conducts two services each Sunday morning. One in the language of the Swedes, the other in English. He is a manly chap and he makes friends on sight. The young people love him and their parents regard him as their pastor in more ways than one. I never saw more intelligent looking or better dressed boys and girls than I saw in Bethany Lutheran church. "Wholesome looking" is the compound word I mean. The men in the congregation, like women, immediately command respect, and the pastor's sister-in-law, Mrs. Carlson, associated with a firm of widely known attorneys, teaches a class of bright young men and young women. She is in many ways a remarkable woman. My visit to this church will linger long with me as one of the most profitable and delightful in my experience, profitable because I met people of sincere religious convictions, and delightful because they made me feel at * home. But then with a red-blooded man like Pastor Carl David Bostrom as their leader what else could one expect ? Senator Borah THREE weeks ago in this column this writer predicted that Senator William E. Borah "can consider himself fortunate if he secures six of the 52 Republican national convention delegates in the primary on May" 12".'- " :j'-* Running against Charles Taft, the man from Idaho won five. The Taft delegates, of course, will go with Walter Brown of'Toledo and State Chairman Ed D. Schorr of Cincinnati when the 'time comes to switch. Even a man with one eye and that optic needing medical attention knows that Charlie Taft didn't Consider himself seriously for the nomination when he permitted the use of his name. But he got the publicity and he put the brakes on Borah, the liberal. AS a matter of fact the old-line Republicans in Ohio do not owe William E. Borah even an apology for voting against him. For years they have known that the senator from Idaho, brilliant as he is in debate and the possessor of great intellectual qualities, can not prove that he is a genuine representative of the Republican party. His record in the senate is too dotted with liberalism to make him acceptable to the Old Guard members of his party. They recall that' four years ago he refused to lift a hand in aid of the Republican candidate for the Presidency. All in all, it is stating only the obvious to say that Senator Borah has many things to live down before he can command the support of the conservative elements in the convention at Cleveland. He is whipped for the nomination and he knows it, but if he "takes a walk" in Cleveland he will give the Republican leaders many headaches before November. The Book Club The Book club meeting will be held with Mrs. Luella Wolf on Tuesday, May 26. Mrs. Elmer Nelson will review the book "The Americanization of Edward Bok." o Son For Jay Mohler Born to Mr. and Mrs. Jay Mohler a son on Friday in a Youngstown hospital.

The next meeting will be the first Friday in June. o — Football-Minded President On December 4, 1905, the House of Representatives having organized, a committee was appointed to wait upon the President, Theodore Roosevelt and advise him of the fact. A member of the committee called his secretary, Mr. Loeb ,and asked when the President could see them. It was then nearly 3 o'clock. "The President cannot see you between 3 and 6 o'clock," Mr. Loeb advised them, after conferring with the President. "Why not?" they demanded. "He is busy," and Mr. Loeb hung up the receiver. The President was busy. He was talking football with Walter Camp and Jack Owsley of Yale, Dr. Nicholas and Bill Reid of Harvard, and John B. Fine and Arthur Hillebrand of Princeton. Mr. Roosevelt had summoned these authorities to Washington to discuss changes in playing rules that would eliminate some of the roughness that had resulted in too many accidents the preceding season.

Commander Linerode would like to have a large number of our members to attend this meeting. A ringing call to every member of The American Legion to. redouble his efforts in building a wholesome devotion to world peace to offset propagandas of international hate which are working for another appalline wat of all nations, was made before] the National Executive Committee by Rev. Robert J. Whit, chairman of the Legionfs National committee on World Peace and Foreign Relations. Pointing out that The American Legion was dedicated by its preamble "To promote peace and go. <l will on earth," Chairman White declared it was the stem duty of every loyal Le- gionairre to do everything possible to avert the tragedy of another war and to make permanent the blessings of peace. The National Executive committee, after hearing Chairman White's report, unanimously renominated him as the American vice-president of Fidac. interallied organization cf World War | yeterans. [Continued on back page] I. c. school news W. D. Bayley of Canada, who has been talking before young people's groups in high school and young people's conferences in the state of Ohio, talked to the grade school and the high school in two separate programs on Friday afternoon. Mr. Bayley's talk presented the situation in regard to the use of alcohol. Mr. Bayley is very tactful in his presentation. His statements were barjd on scientific facts. The' students left the assembly feeling that he had actually given information that was very beneficial. We believe he made a good impression on the pupils of the school. He was brought to North Canton under the auspices of the Hi-Y club and the school wishes to take this means of expressing appreciation to them for this splendid work. Robert Keith, who represented North Canton in the marble tournament that is being conducted in Stark County, played the representative of the Parochial school in North Canton on Saturday. He won in this event which entitles him to represent North Canton in an inter-school contest to be held on Saturday, June 6. He was presented an award for the school representative and also for the village representative. Ronald Harding represented North Canton in the state scholarship contest in the subject of French. He was entitled to this after placing in the local school, county and district. The work for the school year is gradually coming to a climax. The final examinations coming next week. Baccalaureate services will be on Sunday evening, May 31, and commencement on Wednesday, June 3. North Canton plays Uniontown a game of baseball on Friday afternoon at 3:30 in North Canton. LETTERS TO THE SUN Home Remedy- Editor The Sun: When the people of the United States of America realize that the present political ills of this country are curable, that the heads of families have the cure* in their own hands, then will there be hope in every heart, and light ahead. Children should be brought up to the realization of personal political responsibility. When every person in the land says, "What can I give," and not "What can I get," then and then only will we have a worthwhile government. The idea of educating people for political positions is splendid, but the fundamental training must be in the home; there must be ideals of honor, truth and a desire for unselfish service. A large newspaper reading public in this country howls over conditions, and does not lift hand nor voice in any constructive work to better conditions; and has not for several generations. These people say they do not know where to begin, conditions are so bad! Where are the real neighborhood leaders—those who are equal to doing a good piece of work ? Are they going to stay in their easy chairs and growl or get up and go out and stand shoulder to shoulder with their kind, deciding what to do and doing it, as one man? We need a united country, standing for honesty and fair play. North Canton. A CITIZEN. "Fear Not Then" As heaven and earth are not afraid, and never suffer any loss or harm, even so, my spirit, fear not thou. As day and night are not afraid* nor ever suffer loss or harm, even, so, my spirit, fear not thou. As sun and moon are not afraid, nor ever suffer loss or harm, even so, my spirit, fear not thou.—Ancient VedicHymn. THE bonus baby bonds, some two billion dollars worth of them, will bear the likeness of President Andrew Jackson. Secretary Morgenthau said it would never do to use pictures of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and Roosevelt, hecause they vetoed bonus legislation; and so it may be appropriate to go back to Jackson in whoso recorded utterances there is nothing on the World War to which anybody could take exception. The only doubt as to the appropriateness of the selection results from the fact that Jackson, during his administration, paid off the entire national debt. For the last two years he was in office, the United States did not owe a cent—a situation that had never before existed, and that has never existed since. o Pyramid On Dollar FROM a reader: Will The Sun be good enough to tell me why the picture of the pyramid appears on the new one-dollar bills? Is it an old fashion or a new one ? And does the pyramid appear on all other bills or only on the ones? I shall be most grateful for any information. , A. W. Answer: The pyramid with its associated words and devices appearing on the new one-dollar silver certificates is a copy of the design adopted for the reverse side of the great seal of the United States by vote of Congress under the Articles of Confederation on June 20, 1782. The official description explained that "the pyramid signifies strength and duration. The NTcTpmciiARY Kodak Pictures By North Cantonians On Display. This week the North Canton Library has on display a group of Kodak pictures taken by local people. These pictures are hung in the "little gallery", on second floor and visitors are wlecome. Come in and see if your picture may be found in any of the groups. New books are always of interest, to our readers and the following have just-been added .to our library. "Press Photography", by James Kinkaid, a new book on camera journalism by a working press photographer for those interested in the fourth estate. "Around the World in Eleven Years," by the three Abbe children This book has had interesting reviews in the current magazines and has been reqested by many, "Mont-Saint Michel and Chartres", by Henry Adams, is a study of med iaevalism. "How Man Made Music," by Fannie R. Buchanan is more than history it is the biography of Dan Emmett, the composer of "Dixie," of Stradivarius, the master workman of Cremona, of cloistered monks, of operas and ora torio, of symphony and march, of our own music and its masters. "Trains, Tracks, and Travel" is the title of a volume of train information "for boys from eight to eighty," hy T. H. Van Metre, professor of transportation, Columbia University. Ill ustrated by more than 200 pictures. "Wake up and Live," by Dorothea Brande is another book which will prove of interest to those who read it. The following are the new books of fiction: " Miller—"Five little heiresses" Queen—"Chinese' orange mystery" Wees—"Honeymoon mountain" Taylor—"Gunsmoke haicenda" Thompson—"Captain Salt in Oz" Sawyer—"Gallant" FORTHE HOME Amateur Carpenters Can Make Fca tures To Give Storage Space or Add to Convenience. Built-in features which will add to the storage space or which will provide other conveniences in a home can be easily constructed by most amateur carpenters, according to the home management specialists at Ohio State University. The built-in features can be covered to hide any defects of carpentry. A dressing table can be made by bracing a board shelf against the wall at a convenient height. It is then covered with a gathered chintz, ere tonne, or gingham flounce. Storage space can be provided by building a window seat, which is only a long box with a hinged cover. Homes in which room must be pro vided for a number of boys can be arranged so each boy has a space to himself by building bunks for the boys. If there is any distaste for homeade beds, the boy might be reminded that Thomas Jefferson had built-in bedsteads at Monticello. If children must study in a room where there is not space enough for a desk, a wide, hinged shelf with legs that pull out will make a good study table. A simple thing like a rod for the bedroom closet so that garments can be hung on it from hangers will add to the closet space. A tier of small shelves placed quite high will take care of shoes which otherwise would be in the way on the closet floor. If the family boasts someone who is handy with tools, places can be designed for storing hats, sliding trays for clothes can be made, or place*; made for long mirrors. W. B. A. To Meet The W. B. A. Fancy Work club will meet with Mrs. C. B. Albee on West Maple street on Wednesday, May 27. eye over it and motto allude to the many and signal interpositions of Providence in favor of the American cause. The date underneath is that of the Declaration of Independence; and the words under it signify the beginning of the new American era which commences from that date" (177G). Despite this authorization the reverse side of the great seal was never cut in metal. GIDEONS IN MEETING ELECT NEW OFFICERS W. W. Bidgood of Cleveland Is New Head In Ohio—Akron Church Members Respond Generous!j' When Asked To Put a Bible In Hotel Rooms. The Biographer THE wide interest taken in biographical work at present must be regarded as a good sign. We are told that truth is stranger than fiction; however this way be, it is often more edifying, and occasionally quite as picturesque. The novelist labors under no such handicaps as those which must be borne by the biographer, and, point for point, it must be allowed that the latter's work compares very favorably with that of the romancer. Works of biography illustrate tho advantages belonging to the historian as compared with the story-teller. Paradoxical as it may seem, the limitations imposed upon the writer who deals in some sort his greatest assets. He is by no means debarred by the nature of his work rom the exercise o his imagination. On the contrary, it is the most serviceable instrument in his repertory. It is a worth-while biograper one ought to be a veritable Sherlock Holmes in clairvoyant factfinding and mind-eading; doubled by a Hans Holbein in perfection of characterization. Moreover, he must surelv be a scholar, and if he is also a gentleman, so much the better. WORLD OF SPORTS Baseball Sunset baseball league staged two games last week, St. Paul's playing the Carpaths of Canton on Tuesday evening and the North Canton Reformed on Thursday. In Tuesday's game,*'Metz pitched a hitless game while Wernet for North Canton allowed but two. Errors in the last inning were responsible for 5 runs for the Carpaths. Pete Wernet anil both the Benik brothers were able to connect with the ball, but only for a grounder or an U-tfeld fly. Pastor and Magee were responsible for the Carpaths two hits. In the games between St. Paul's and Reformed team on Thursday evening, the score was 6 to 2 in favor of the Reformed. Kuntzman was batted out of the box in the third inning by the Reformed boys when they scored 5 runs. John Benik scored both runs for the St. Paul's, one in the 4th and another in the Gth. Wernet replaced Kuntzman while Grant Ditch pitched the whole game for the Reformed. Games this week are: St. Paul's played a downtown team on Tuesday evening at Witwer park and the Reformed boys play on Friday. Hoover League Hoover league games for May 13 were postponed on account of rain. Monday, May 18: Engineers vs. Maintenance, Motors vs. Assembly.

Red Cross life saving will be taught to all wlv care to take it from juniors betweer 12-17 to seniors 17 years and up Many new ideas are coming up in thi- course this year and it would be well for those who liave taken the course before to renew it again this year. Advanced swimming will be along the line of distance, different strokes, old and new, technique of the latest kicks and arm strokes, position in the water, advanced adjusting one's self to the water such as floating, treading water, spinning, sculling, surface diving and proper breathing. The swimming school students will take a course that has been arranged from Thomas K. Cureton's text book of Springfield college. A diploma will be given to all who pass the test given at the end of the course. Anyone who cares to teach swimming and diving, also supervising of pools and beaches should avail themselves of this opportunity. o . Eastern Star Reception On Tuesday evening, May 26, the Eastern Stars will hold a reception from 4 until G for their grand organist, Mrs. Nellie Dretke of Canton. At G:15 there will be a covered dish dinner and in the evening the lodge's birthday anniversary party. .—. o Missionary Guild The Missionary Guild of the Community Christian church met on Tuesday evening with Mrs. Kenneth Smith. Mrs. Russell Burt gave an interesting talk on Haiti. STARK COUNTY IS ACTIVE The Gideons held their state convention in Akron on Saturday evening and all day Sunday. In point of attendance and enthusiasm it was one of the most successful ever held in Ohio. According to the report of the secretary at least $500 was contributed by the various churches for the purpose of placing a Gideon Bible in hotel rooms in Akron. Praise for Markley Joseph M. Markley, Ohio State president for two terms, asked to be relieved of his duties after he learned that a movement was on foot to "draft" him. He assured the Gideons that his heart is in the work and that he will contribute everything within his power to further the great work the Gideons are doing. A rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Markley. Used as he is to words of praise for his effective work in many organizations, Joe actually blushed when he heard the words of commendation by national, state and county leaders. The New Officers The new officers are: President, W. W. Bidgood of Cleveland; vice-presidents, Francis E. Cawthorne of Canton; W. O. Miles of Columbus; John Emerson of Toledo; C. R. Cummings of Oberlin; Harrison Milford of Cincinnati; J. K. Hurt of Cleveland; secretary, Charles E. Grossman of Toledo; treasurer, O. C. House of Dayton; chaplain E. W. Laskey of Toledo. The 1937 convention will be held in Toledo, the members decided after a spirited contest. Canton was represented by Mr. and Mrs. Karl Gooseman and a number of men and their wives from that city. North Canton was represented by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Swope. They sang for the convention. Mrs. Eleanore Hall, Miss Alberta Gilbert and Ben Long were registered from North Canton and like the Swopes attended the churches and spoke for the Gideon cause. They received contributions and the same were turned into the national trej&uiy. »•• The Sun regrets it has not the names of the Women's Auxiliary. One of the high spots of the convention was the address of Samuel Fulton, the president of a large manufacturing concern in Milwaukee. He injects wit into his talks and incidentally a little pathos. His addresses won instant recognition probably for the reason that he radiates sunshine the moment he approaches a group.. Convention High Spots Mrs. Markley and her charming daughter were in attendance and rendered valuable service. Mrs. Karl Gooseman assisted her husband and Karl placed his auto at the service of the organization. C. C. Linerode, commander of North Canton American Legion Post, was on the filing lino and did valiant service, , and had a part in the service of dedicating the Bibles. President Joe Markley's retiring address was no swan song. He vigorously stated that the Gideons "are close to my heart and the incoming president will receive from me earnest support." Joe got a great reception, and in the words of Karl Gooseman, "He deserves it because he is a splendid character." The service for the departed was a solemn occasion. Many good songsters and musicians were heard. Miss Alberta Gilbert of The Community Christian church of North Canton was the speaker in a large Reformed church and received a fine response. The sessions were held in the Akron Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. The hotels were extremely courteous and gave delegates every service and consideration. The Gideons, by the way, have no salaried officers, and delegates and their ladies travel at their own expense. The pastors, superintendents and members of the various churches were extremely courteous. For which the Gideons extend their sincere thanks. It was in every way a great convention. Many men distinguished in the business world were present, many of them with their wives. The new state president, W. W. Bidgood of Cleveland isn't merely a live wire, he is a full-blown power house, and he has a staff any man can be proud to call assistant. OSTEOPATHS MEET Two-Day Session In Cincinnati Attended by Local Members Club. The Ohio Society of Osteopathic- Physicians and Surgeons held their 39th annual state convention in the- Hotel Gibson, May 17 to 19, in Cincinnati.

Told Without
Varnish by Ben Long
An Akron Church
IT was my privilege on Sunday morning to make a short address on
the value of The Gideons before
the Sunday-school Bethany Lutheran
church, 837 Carroll street, Akron. The
financial response was splendid. But
let me add that to the pastor, the
Rev. Carl David Bostrom, should go
the credit for the warm reception accorded the "Bible in every room of
every hotel." Not only did he grant
me favors rarely accorded a visitor
but he made an address I regard as
one of the best—undoubtedly the best
—I ever listened to. And that after
many years of newspapering in cities
of more than one million persons.
PASTOR BOSTROM conducts two
services each Sunday morning.
One in the language of the
Swedes, the other in English. He is a
manly chap and he makes friends on
sight. The young people love him and
their parents regard him as their
pastor in more ways than one. I never
saw more intelligent looking or better
dressed boys and girls than I saw in
Bethany Lutheran church. "Wholesome looking" is the compound word
I mean.
The men in the congregation, like
women, immediately command respect,
and the pastor's sister-in-law, Mrs.
Carlson, associated with a firm of
widely known attorneys, teaches a
class of bright young men and young
women. She is in many ways a remarkable woman.
My visit to this church will linger
long with me as one of the most
profitable and delightful in my experience, profitable because I met people of sincere religious convictions,
and delightful because they made me
feel at * home.
But then with a red-blooded man
like Pastor Carl David Bostrom as
their leader what else could one expect ?
Senator Borah
THREE weeks ago in this column
this writer predicted that Senator William E. Borah "can consider himself fortunate if he secures
six of the 52 Republican national convention delegates in the primary on
May" 12".'- " :j'-*
Running against Charles Taft, the
man from Idaho won five. The Taft
delegates, of course, will go with Walter Brown of'Toledo and State Chairman Ed D. Schorr of Cincinnati when
the 'time comes to switch. Even a
man with one eye and that optic needing medical attention knows that
Charlie Taft didn't Consider himself
seriously for the nomination when he
permitted the use of his name. But
he got the publicity and he put the
brakes on Borah, the liberal.
AS a matter of fact the old-line Republicans in Ohio do not owe
William E. Borah even an apology for voting against him. For years
they have known that the senator
from Idaho, brilliant as he is in debate and the possessor of great intellectual qualities, can not prove that
he is a genuine representative of the
Republican party.
His record in the senate is too
dotted with liberalism to make him
acceptable to the Old Guard members
of his party. They recall that' four
years ago he refused to lift a hand
in aid of the Republican candidate for
the Presidency.
All in all, it is stating only the
obvious to say that Senator Borah has
many things to live down before he
can command the support of the conservative elements in the convention
at Cleveland. He is whipped for the
nomination and he knows it, but if
he "takes a walk" in Cleveland he
will give the Republican leaders many
headaches before November.
The Book Club
The Book club meeting will be held
with Mrs. Luella Wolf on Tuesday,
May 26. Mrs. Elmer Nelson will review the book "The Americanization
of Edward Bok."

Football-Minded President
On December 4, 1905, the House of
Representatives having organized, a
committee was appointed to wait upon
the President, Theodore Roosevelt
and advise him of the fact. A member of the committee called his secretary, Mr. Loeb ,and asked when the
President could see them. It was then
nearly 3 o'clock.
"The President cannot see you between 3 and 6 o'clock," Mr. Loeb advised them, after conferring with the
President.
"Why not?" they demanded.
"He is busy," and Mr. Loeb hung
up the receiver.
The President was busy. He was
talking football with Walter Camp
and Jack Owsley of Yale, Dr. Nicholas and Bill Reid of Harvard, and
John B. Fine and Arthur Hillebrand
of Princeton. Mr. Roosevelt had summoned these authorities to Washington
to discuss changes in playing rules
that would eliminate some of the
roughness that had resulted in too
many accidents the preceding season.
