cabin passengers and about 10000 I'm
the steerage, and that they spend
around 5000 ,0OO,0 900 exclusive of money
spent for jewelry and clothing. Now
why not distribute some of that money
among our own people in seeing Amer
lea first and go abroad later on If you
feel like it.
Seeing America before going abroad
affords opportunity to contrast this
beautiful and promising land with for
eign countries. The contrast will even
ast0nish American travellers. The
United States contains as many at
tractive spots as the whole of Europe
possesses To make the favorable con-
trast and be able to speak a good
word for ones own country and be
contented with it's advantages as a
land in which to live and die, strength
ems patriotism and loyalty. How re-
sorts have seen the great National
Parks which have been created by
Congress for the benefit Of the Ameri-
can people and in which there are ma
tural features and views that can
not be surpassed.
| If the traveller seeks Alpine glaciers,
he has only to go to Glacier National
Park, where there are more glaciers
in the same acre than in Switzerland,
and If he wants to travel over finely
built roads that rival those of France,
Switzerland and Germany, the Yellow
stone Park extends an invitation to
him. The forests on the slope of the
Sierra Nevadas in the Yosemite, Sc
quonia and General Grant Parks are
more majectis, and impressive than the
Blck Forest Of Europe, and the snow
clad peaks of Mount Rainer in the
State or Washington, will furnish sport
enough to make the most daring for
get the varied sports to be found in
Europeon travel
This is the reason we are planning
to hold a great big exhibition right
here In Baltimore-to show Americans
some of the most interesting and beau
tiful things Of their own lands and
about which they know so little. We
want to give Americans chance to
peep at some of the great things of
their own land, and in doing this it is
both business and a patriotic pro-
position in that it inspires and stim-
ulates Americans with a greater in
terest in their home, and it is thus
calculated to influence them to spend
money in travel among their own
countrymen that otherwise has been
going and might continue going to
Europe.
The community development cam
paign is based on sound theory, and
that is all it has to do with theory 1t
is henceforth concerned with practice.
Consequently it seems the time has
arrived to find out what is best to be
done, how it can be done, and then do
it.
The Greater Baltimore Committee
will give See America FIRST" display
in the interest of publicity and COM
munity building by the display, to i'm
press upon the good people Of the
United States the value of first seeing
the beauties of their native land be-
fore going abroad

What we are, not what we seem
20 be. is the measure of our true
worth. A base coin may be washed
with pure metal and pass current for
d time without detection; but soon
er o. later the thin veneering will
wear through, and the spurious in
side will be revealed; so pure coin
may be covered with base alloy, but
though 1t tarnish for time, 1t can
mot change the value Of what it
oonceals. So it is with human char
acter. '.
Sham airs and graees and assum-
cd virtues may win for time and
deceive the most penetrating, while
virtue. loaded with calumny, is
stunned by its kind; but sooner OF
later true worth will assert Itself
and all the world will discriminate
between the gold and the dross.
Where gold is not, gold never car
be found. Where true character Is
mot. no sham or artifice can long
support a semblance of it.
The principle that true worth i:
the captain who leads to victory in
aife's battles, is one that should be
early and constantly taught by
those having the tutelage of youth.

NO MORAL TO THIS TALE.

Willie Smith was a fighter, but
different. He never smoked, drank
or swore, and whenever he won a
purse he took the money home and
poured 1t in his old mothers lap.
She allowed him two dollars a week
spending money to buy ice cream
sodas.
Tom Jones was a fighter and the
toughest thing in town. He smoked,
drank and swore ~profciently. He
had no old mother, and if he had ne
would not have poured any money
in her lap. He did not spend his
money on ice cream Sodas.
Willie Smith and Tommy Jones
met in a main bout and in the sec
ond round Jones knocked out Smith.
Moral The result Of a prize fight
is always a gamble.
