In Seattle, WASH, during one of the
Red Cross drives, l vas n Of m au-
dience Of 5000 people that crowded a
huge motion picture theater on a Sat

peal made from the platform for i'm.

this appeal was the immediate sub

I noted that the street was occupied

drawn up at attention, saluting the
audience as 1t went by. There must
have been 500 Of them. I stepped to
the curbstone and approached the
commanding officer, who saluted as I
came.
"Who." I Queried, 'are these men,
what are they doing herer'
The officer smiled-his eyes fash
ed. "These," he said, "are the
800 members Of the National army
whose lives are going to be saved be-
cause your audience this evening con-
tributed $4,000 to the Red Cross

He finished speaking to me. He
turned and gave an order. On the in
slant the 500 soldiers vanished into
thin air. And then I realized that
they weren't there-they hadn't been
there at all, save in my Imagination.

was announced that every patriot was
expected to Uncover when the Stars

parade everybody did 1t.
Standing on the curbstOne was an
unkempt individual, with straggly hair,
and a wild, desperate eye. who kept
looking about him uneaslly, when the
crowd pressed against him he hitched
himself away, but he must have seen
the hats come off as the cOlOrs swept
down the th%OrOughfare. When the flag
was only half a block away, this man
lifted his hand but instead Of remov-
ing his hat he drew 1t farther down
upon his head. His action was no
ticed.
Uncover" yelled somebody in the
crowd. The crowd, like n lot Of chill
dren, forgot all about the flag passing,
and turned its attention to the man
who hadn't taken off his hat.
"Where is he-where is he?" people
asked.
Uncover there-uncover," cried
stentOrlan voices.
The man turned about and his hand
strayed to his hat again. 1t seemed
as though he was about to remove it.
But three men pressed close to him
thr~eateningly.
you take your hat off, do you
hear!" they shouted at him.
He drew away from them and pulled
1t more firmly down upon his head.

The wild-eyed man shook his head
and kept drawing away.

against the four principals, make him

"TraitOr," cried somebody else.
The three men seized the offender
and laid violent hands upon his hat.
The man chung to 1t desperately,
throwing all his strength into his
grasp. Then a police officer forced
his way through the crowd.

with you. Wen make a complaint"
The officer seized the man by the
arm.
Il will go-with you," gasped the
man, "but not with them-not with

The three men followed the officer.
The crowd trailed on behind, until
they reached the nearest precinct sta

The culprit was led before the mag
istrate. AS the n entered the court
room, he took off his hat and bowed.
The police officer stated his case-the
three men made their complaint.
"Well," demanded the Judge fiercely,
"is this trueY
The offender bowed. "What they say
is true" he admitted.
"Well," demanded the magistrate,
impatiently, what have you got to
say for %yourself?".
The man bowed. Judge" he be-
gan, Il live all alone-and l am afraid
