They have organized in Clevelans what
they call The Appreciation Lea fue Of
the United States" A circular ad vertis-

cheer-up literature ought to be o. pink
paper. There Is psychological reason
why the sporting sheet Of n new spaper
is pink 'un." Pink stands for p caches
and cream, roses. blushing m lidens,
dancing, gamboling. and tra-la-la things
generally. Just 40 blue connotes stuffy
books of statecraft, irritating sum ptuary

afflicted with cacoethes scriben di, or
writing Itch.
The motto Of the league is: Ignore
rudeness, but show appreciation o. cour-
tesy always"
You find often on dining car me nus or
theater programs or other corp, ration
literature a notice requesting you to re-
port to the management any case of in
civility on the part of an employee The
members of this league attacl . this

to report all signal instances of co, Irtesy,
