NEW spirit of citizenship Is
~ spreading all over the coun-
n try. This movement for re-
ciprocal understanding be-
tween the native American citizen and
the prospective naturalized immigrant
is the spirit Of brotherhood and fellow
ship. While we are remembering the
hatred and Jealousy of the citizens Of
the various countries of Europe who
are at present killing one another,
this new spirit of citizenship realizes
that In America there are 1900, 900
immigrants, the ma jority of whom
were born In these very countries
which are at war and that only the
spirit of American citizenship can
make them "one people and one ma
ton in the land OF opportunity"

TAKING BABY'S PICTURE.

In the car besides the baby were two
women and two mcn. When the car

II into the curb and the occupants
jumped out The baby was lifted
from the auto by one NJ the women.
The other woman carried a camera.

Take larings, for instance Time
