V. Hollowny Urgfs Lnurrl Holnrinn Slmlj VDcvire'' That ro tlri! LAUREL. Aug. 17-Spetlan "We act bccau.ie we feel, and not. because we think," said Dr.

Harry V. Holloway, state superintendent of public instruction, in his address on "Propaganda" before the Laurel Rofnry Club Monday," and tha fact is taken advantage of by the present dav nropazandlsts. The propaganda of the age is therefore an appeal to emotions, rather than to reason." Dr. Hollowav lrsted a number of the earmarks of propaganda as fol lows: Tlie name calling device giving bad name to those things we desire to discredit; glittering generalities rather than the real basic facts; transfer devices illustrated by the use of the cross by the Ku Klux Klan to appeal to church folks; testimonial device making people want to do things because prominent people do them; plain folks device used largely by politicians to make voters feel thev are one of them; card stacking device leuing only halt or the story or using a smoke screen to prevent all the facts from being known; and the bandwagon device getting vote bv making people want to be on th winnina sidv Dr. Holloway said we can believe the fundamentals truths, but tha we must watch all other Informa tion for propaganda.

He urged a study of the news, public ad dresses and radio talks for the? various types of propaganda, and thus learn how not to be "taken in. In addition to Dr. Holloway ad dress, Clifton E. Phillip- gave three-minute talk on Rotary educa tion. explaining why membership i limited to one member from each general classification.

Next Monday evening, a program will be presented on Rotary Information in charge of Granville S. Windsor, and special musical numbers will be rendered by Miss Anna Johnson.

For "Post Road," a mystery drama, i( very much summery, even to its plot of mosquito-netting quality.

Though the plot is quite thin, the leads are excellent. Tops this week is Miss Dorrit. Kel ton as the spinstress who tumble over thieves and murderers, Kelton has a disarming way about her. She relaxes an audience, settles them In their sea's, and develops a character not too quickly forgotten. But "Post Road" is not a one-actor play.

Charles Mendirk gives un excellent performance as the radio-monkeying George Preble. Edwin 8. Ross becomes a sneaky, oily sinister Bible quoting minister-really a wolf in sheep's clothing. His make-up Is a bit too stagey and antique. Other hits are well done, partieu- larly by Lucille Anderson as a nurse, Vincent Copeland, a chauffeur, and Ruth Kelly, the gossiping neigh- bor.
