with a laugh, as if the phrase were
empty rhetoric instead of sublime
truth. Liege means more to us than
Lexington, and remembering Edith
Cavell, we give no thought to Jane
McCrea.
We may well thank God that the
war of American independence has not
the glamOr of battles fought in vain,
that our freedom is no lost cause, that
WashingtOn's halo is not that of a
martyr whose life and death were I'M
availing. To those who look at the
worlds events in true historical per-
spective, without sentimentality and
with love of justice and freedom in
their breasts, the American Revolution
fills the most encouraging page in the
chronicle of the centuries. But for
most of US it is only in times of stress
like the present that we can come to
an actual sense of our exceptional
privileges to q realization of the radi-
ant truth of the stories we read in our
history book in school. This year the
Declaration of independence takes on
a clearer significance we know, as we
did not in bygOne years, what it means
to be free and independent states, abb
solved forever from all allegiance to
foreign powers. And so this year
Washington's birthday is no routine
holiday, but day of solemn yet joyful
commemoration, a day on which we
honor with full hearts him who made
us a nation, the warrior whose sword
cut the bonds of our thralldOm, the
statesman who babe us, avoiding en-
tangling alliances. go our free way. an
Independent republic, no nations sycO-
plant. no nations tool. "With malice
toward nOne," said Washington's great
est successor, with charity for all"
1t was a summing up of WashingtOn's
own political creed. No lost cause,
however glorious with the blood Of
martyrs, seems today so noble as the
still triumphant cause of American in
dependence. No modern hero, fighting
overseas, is today so dear to US as our
founder and preserver. And to his ex-
amples and his cOunsels we cannot
look for guidance and look in vain.

The ACE of WASHINGTON.

However his military fame may ex-
cite the wonder of mankind, it is chiefly
by his civil magistracy that Washing
tons example will instruct them. . =.
Such a chief magistrate as Washing
ton appears like the pole star in a clear
sky, to direct the skillful statesman.
His presidency will form an epoch and
be distinguished as the age of Wash
ington. Already it assumes its high
place in the political region. Like the
Milky Way, it whitens along its allot-
ted portion of the hemisphere. The
latest generations of men will surve.i
through the telescope of history, the
space where so many virtues blend
their rays and delight to separate them
into groups and distinct virtues. AS
the best illustration of them, the living
monument to which the first of pa
triots would have chosen to cOnsign his
fame, it is my earnest prayer to heaven
that our country may subsist, even In
that late day, in the plenitude of its
liberty and happiness and mingle its
mild glory with Neutrality-suspicious.
AmeS.

VALLEY FORGE is name
! which inspires unspeakable

" emotions in every reader of the
Revolutionary story, appealing
to the depth of the pathetic in us by
their sufferings and to our sublimest
sense by their fortitude. That winter
at Valley Forge surpasses the retreat
from Moscow, for the American he
rOes and their great commander en-
dured through the long winter instead
Of fleeing.
CHOW comes it, sir" said Washing
ton to the officer as they marched into
the valley, that 1 have tracked the
march of your troops by the blood
stains on the frozen ground? We're
there no shoes in the cOmmiSsary's
stores, that this sad spectacle is to be
seen along the public highway"
The officer replied: "When shoes
were issued the regiments were served
in turn; it was our misfortune to be
among the last and the stores became
exhausted"
WashingtOn's emotions were Of the
strongest kind and he said, poor fell

Chief Justice Marshall, ''had the Amer

Trotteur frocks are going to be the
rage and gasless Sundays are to be
blamed-or perhaps to be praised Is
better. The request to conserve gaso-
letc coming as IL has in these bracing
days of Indian summer makes walking
q most pleasant substitute for motor
ing.
But q walk demands very different
costume from drive thru the country.
While the weather is still mild enough
to permit it the one-piece frock 10
ideal for the stroll, be it down the
avenue or out thru the suburbs.
That all practical fabric, navy serge,
fashions the greater part Of the frock
pictured. An unusual and novel effect
is obtained by using baby lamb" to
form the four panels, the two shorter
ones being used on the sides. The
salesgirl who would sell you the frock
would call these panels fur, but they
are in reality cloth fable which Is
made to resemble fur. Black satin &C
cordian plated is used to fashion the
underskirt. The lines are long and
straight and are broken but slightly at
the waistline by loose belt Of the
serge which Is fastened by tortoise
shell buckle.
The hat is taupe velvet trimmed
with rows and rows OF stitching and a
band Of gros grain ribbon about the
crown which holds metal ornament
in place.

How Mosquitoes Hatch.

We have all heard about the mosqui-
to's habit of laying its eggs on the
surface Of still water in the form Of
a raft, which floats about until hatch
ing time arrives. But 1t is only some
species that do that. In the Catskill re-
gion, and elsewhere among the noun
tains of the North and East, there Is
kind of mosquito that deposits its
eggs during July in dry hollows In
the ground. When the following
spring arrives the SHOWS melting from
the hills fill the hollows with water,
and in May the eggs hatch out.

Bell Note Bird.

A remarkable piping bird Is known
as the bell-bird. -Four species are
known of which two are pure, glossy
white; one is brownish with a white
head and neck, and one Is white with
black wings. It's call is like the note,
clear and melodious. Of beautiful
bell. Sometimes it utters only one
note, then rests. When several OF
these birds call and answer, the effect
is beautiful. The bell-birds, which be-
long to the chatterer family, are found
in Central America south to Brazil.
